Tax Tips: Use ‘Where’s My Refund?’ tool to track refund status
As millions of people file their 2024 tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service today reminded taxpayers to use the “Where’s My Refund?" tool on IRS.gov to confirm receipt of their return and track a refund.
Taxpayers who file electronically can typically use the “Where’s My Refund?” tool to check the status of a tax refund within 24 hours of filing. It takes about four weeks for the same information to be available for those filing paper returns.
The tool is available 24/7, and is a fast, easy way for taxpayers to get information about a refund without needing to call the IRS. The tool also allows taxpayers to access information about returns from tax years 2024, 2023 and 2022.
The online tool is mobile-friendly and can be accessed through the IRS2Go mobile app, where users also can find free tax help and make payments.
