Check Your Federal Tax Refund Status
- The IRS has set up an online service explicitly for taxpayers to check their refund status. Called "Where's My Refund?", the service will let you know whether or not your return has been processed and when your refund was mailed out or deposited into your bank account. If there is a snag, the site will direct you to initiate a refund trace.
- IRS: Where's My Refund?
- To use the service, you'll need the following:
- Social Security Number (or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)
- Filing Status (Single, Married Filing Joint Return, Married Filing Separate Return, Head of Household, or Qualifying Widow(er))
- Exact Refund Amount Shown on Your Return
- Don't have easy access to a computer, you can always pick up the phone and contact the IRS directly at 1.800.829.1040.
