Where's My Refund?
You can track the status of your IRS refund at this IRS page. You'll need:
- Your Social Security Number (or ITIN-Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)
- Your filing status
- The exact amount (in whole dollars) of the refund due
If you filed a joint return, either Social Security Number can be used.
Timing.
- If you e-filed your return, wait at least 7 days before checking status.
- If you filed a paper return, wait at least 4 weeks.
Limitations. Where's My Refund is not available:
- On Mondays from midnight to 3:00 am Eastern time
- For amended returns (Form 1040X)
- For business returns
Refund status by phone. Call the IRS at 1.800.829.4477 (but wait until 4 weeks after filing).
Phishing and other refund scams. The IRS never initiates contact with taxpayers by phone or email. Do not respond to any phone call or email which:
- Asks you to "confirm" information on your tax return, or
- Offers to help get your refund faster.
These are likely to be scams.
