WHERE IS MY REFUND

When Will I Get My Refund?

Once the IRS processes your tax return and approves your refund, they will provide a personalized refund date. Most refunds are issued within 21 days of the IRS receiving your return. However, some returns may take longer if the IRS needs additional review.

When Should I Contact the IRS?

Please contact the IRS only if one of the following applies:

It has been 21 days or more since you electronically filed your return

It has been more than 6 weeks since you mailed a paper return

The Where’s My Refund? tool tells you to contact the IRS directly

Calling before these timeframes will not speed up your refund.

How to Check Your Refund Status

You can check your refund status using the IRS Where’s My Refund? tool:

Within 24 hours after your electronic return is accepted

Four weeks after mailing a paper return

We recommend checking the tool first before calling the IRS, as it provides the most up-to-date information on your refund.

Why You Should Create an IRS Online Account

Creating an online account with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) gives you direct access to your personal tax information—securely and in real time. This is one of the best ways to stay informed, avoid delays, and protect yourself from errors or identity issues.

What You Can Do With an IRS Account

When you sign in to your IRS online account, you can:

✅ View your tax balance and payment history

✅ Check the status of your refund

✅ Access tax records and transcripts from prior years

✅ Make payments or set up payment plans

✅ Review notices or letters sent by the IRS

✅ Verify your identity and protect against tax-related identity theft

Instead of waiting on hold or relying on mailed notices, your IRS account puts the information directly in your hands.

Why Having an IRS Account Matters

Having an IRS account helps you:

Stay proactive instead of reactive

Catch issues early before they become bigger problems

Reduce delays caused by missing or incorrect information

Have accurate details ready if you’re working with a tax professional.

In short: it gives you visibility, control, and peace of mind.

Is It Safe?

Yes. The IRS uses secure identity verification to protect your information. While the setup process may take a few minutes, it’s a one-time step that provides long-term benefits.

When We Recommend Signing In

We strongly recommend creating and checking your IRS account if:

You’re waiting on a refund

You received a notice or letter

You owe back taxes or are on a payment plan

You want copies of prior-year tax records

You’re working with a tax professional and need accurate information

Checking your IRS account regularly helps you stay informed and avoid surprises. It’s one of the smartest moves you can make as a taxpayer.
