Where's My Refund?

Most tax refunds are issued by the IRS within 21 days of filing a refund claim. Taxpayers who are anxious about the status of their refunds can use the "Where's My Refund Tool".

You can find it at www.IRS.gov/Refunds/Where's-My-Refund-It's-Quick,-Easy,-and-Secure.

There is also a smartphone app: IRS2go.

You will need your social security number, your filing status and the amount of your refund in order to access your information on this secure site.

The IRS doesn't want you to call them about the status of your refund unless it's been longer than 21 days since they accepted your return.
