To check the status of your tax return, you can follow these steps:
How to Check Your Tax Return Status
1. Use the IRS "Where's My Refund?" Tool (for U.S. Federal Taxes)
- Visit the official IRS website: Where's My Refund?
- You will need:
- Your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)
- Your filing status (e.g., single, married filing jointly)
- The exact refund amount shown on your tax return
2. Use the IRS2Go Mobile App
- Download the IRS2Go app on your smartphone (available for iOS and Android)
- Use the same information as above to check your refund status
3. Contact Your State Tax Agency (if applicable)
- If you filed a state tax return, check your state’s Department of Revenue website for a similar refund status tool.
- Each state has its own system, so look for “Where’s my refund?” or “Check my refund status” on your state tax website.
4. Call the IRS (if necessary)
- If it’s been more than 21 days since you filed electronically or more than 6 weeks if you mailed your return, and you still have no update, you can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
- Have your tax return information handy when you call.
