Taxpayers may check the status of their tax refund using the Where’s My Refund? tool, available at IRS.gov and through the IRS2Go mobile application. Refund status information is generally available within 24 hours after the IRS receives an electronically filed return.

Most tax refunds are issued within 21 days of acceptance; however, processing times may vary due to errors, incomplete information, identity verification, fraud prevention reviews, or banking delays. If additional information is required, the IRS will notify the taxpayer by mail.
