For the most up to date information on your refund, you can
track your federal refund here: Where's My Refund? which
provides your status and a specific, personalized date for your tax refund once it is available. You
may also download the IRS2Go
app to check your Federal refund status.
Once Where's My Refund? shows "Refund
Sent" and a date, it could take up to 5 days for it
to be reflected in your bank account or if you requested a check it can take approximately 3-5 business days to arrive to you.
Make sure to only enter your federal income
amount, not federal and state combined. Another important factor can be if
you are married filing jointly and make sure you are using the Social Security
Number for the name that appears first on the return. If
still no record, wait and try again. The IRS Where's My Refund? tool updates
every 24 hours.
If your return was accepted less
than 21 days ago, hang in there. It can take anywhere from a
few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval.
Here is the general timeline of e-filed returns:
Transmission > Acceptance > Processing > Approval >
Refund.
