How it works

Where's My Refund shows your refund status:

  • Return Received – We received your return and are processing it.
  • Refund Approved – We approved your refund and are preparing to issue it by the date shown.
  • Refund Sent – We sent the refund to your bank or to you in the mail. It may take 5 days for it to show in your bank account or several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail.

Before you file a second tax return

Filing the same tax return again typically won't speed up your refund and could cause delays.

You should resubmit your tax return, electronically if possible, only if all of these apply:

  • You are due a refund
  • You filed on paper more than 6 months ago
  • Where’s My Refund doesn’t show that we received your return.
