Tax return filed: Here are ways to check the status of a tax refund

Taxpayers who filed their federal tax returns and are owed a refund may be wondering about the status. There are several options for people to check.

A new feature in Individual Online Account lets taxpayers opt in to receive email notifications when there’s an update to their refund status. Taxpayers still have the option to check their refund status without signing in with Where’s My Refund?

Other ways to check refund status

IRS mobile app
Automated hotline- refunds: 800-829-1954 or amended returns 866-464-2050
Refund statuses are available as early as 24 hours after the current-year tax return is e-filed. The IRS issues most refunds within 21 days.

In some cases, a refund could be delayed. A few reasons for this are:

Making a common mistake. These include forgetting to sign the return or making a math error.
Claiming the Additional Child Tax Credit. This credit can be complicated and requires more time to review.
Failing to include bank account information for direct deposit.
Filing an amended return. The IRS must compare the two returns and review both.
Requesting injured spouse relief, which requires the IRS to manually process the case.
