- Any deductions you qualified for
How to Track Your Refund Status Online?
Worried about where your refund is? The IRS offers a quick and easy tool called “Where’s My Refund?” — available online or via the IRS2Go mobile app.
To check your refund status, you’ll need:
- Your Social Security number
- Your filing status (e.g., single, married filing jointly)
- The exact refund amount you’re expecting
Once entered, the tool will display:
- Whether your return is still processing
- If your refund has been approved
- Or if the refund has been sent
📌 Note: Refund statuses are usually updated within 24 hours of e-filing, but may take longer for paper returns.
Why Your Refund Might Be Delayed?
Several factors can affect when your refund lands in your bank account:
- Incomplete or inaccurate tax returns
- Missing documents or identity verification
- Bank processing delays
- IRS backlog due to manual processing
According to an internal memo, the IRS has even mandated weekend overtime for staff in June to help clear up a tax return error backlog — which could still affect some paper filers.
