Where are my tax returns

The best way to get an accurate direct deposit date is to use the Where's My Refund tool on the IRS website. To track your Federal refund, click here and click on the blue tab that says, "Check My Refund Status". You will need your social security number, filing status, and refund amount in order to track your refund. Updates are made daily, usually overnight.

If after 21 days of being accepted, you have not received an update via the Where's My Refund tool, you can follow the instructions in the following FAQ to contact the IRS for further assistance.

 Otherwise, as your return moves through the system, the status of it will be updated accordingly. Continue checking the Where’s My Federal Refund?  tool for updates.
