Don't do anything until you check the status of your return.
You can visit the IRS Where's My Refund? site to check if your e-filed return has been received.
You can check the status of your tax return. You will need:
- Social Security Number.
- Tax return year.
- Hilling Status.
- Exact refund amount
If it doesn't find you, contact us again.
The category "Pending" simply means your return has not yet been transmitted to the IRS.
