There are several ways to check where’s your tax refund, have a try.
Federal Tax Return

Every year after you filing a tax return (24 hours after E-File or 4 weeks after mailing), you can visit the IRS website to check your tax return status.
Here’s what you should do:
- prepare all the information: SSN/ITIN, filing status, refund amount
- visit IRS website: www.irs.gov/refunds
- click the button “Check My Refund Status”
- conplete the information and click “submit
If all good, you will see your tax return status: Return Received, Refund Approved or Refund Sent.
