How to Check IRS Refund Status?

Use the IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool at irs.gov/refunds

Enter your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and exact refund amount

Check your refund status 24 hours after e-filing or about 4 weeks after mailing a paper return

Use the IRS2Go mobile app to check refund status on a phone

Call the IRS refund hotline at 1-800-829-1954

Review your tax return for errors if the status is delayed

Wait for the IRS processing time if your return is still being reviewed

Contact the IRS if the tool says to call or if more than 21 days have passed since e-filing without an update
