IRS enhances 'Where's My Refund?' tool for 2024 filing season
 
The “Where’s My Refund?” tool provides taxpayers with three key pieces of information:
​
  • IRS confirmation of receiving a federal tax return
  • Approval of the tax refund
  • Issuing date of the approved tax refund.
 
Information for returns from tax years 2023, 2022 and 2021 is available.
The IRS estimates that refunds take about 21 days
after the IRS has accepted your e-filed tax return.

CREATE AN IRS ACCOUNT
We strongly recommend creating an online account with the IRS that will give you more in-depth information, including checking refunds, accessing tax records, making and viewing payments, creating and viewing payment plans, and viewing your balances.

Allow 6-8 weeks from your e-file date. Your refund may be delayed if your return needs corrections or extra review. If they need more information to process your return, they will send you a letter.
