How to Check the Status of Your Federal Tax Refund

Waiting on your tax refund?

At our tax relief company, we often guide clients on how to check their refund status and what to expect during the process.

The IRS makes it easy to track using their "Where's My Refund?" tool, available on IRS.gov or the IRS2Go mobile app.

To check your status, you'll need your Social Security number, filing status, and exact refund amount.

Once your return is received and processed, the tool will show whether your refund is still being processed, approved, or sent.

Refunds typically take about 21 days if you e-file and choose direct deposit, but delays can occur due to errors, incomplete filings, or identity verification issues.

If your refund is delayed beyond the normal time frame, we help investigate the issue, communicate with the IRS on your behalf, and ensure any underlying problems—like tax debts or offset claims—are addressed.

You don't have to wait in the dark.

Let us help you track and protect your refund.
