Visit the tracker page on the IRS website and click the Check your refund button. Once directed to the Refund Status page, enter your details and click Submit. You should be directed to your refund status. Note that it takes 24 hours after you e-file your return or four weeks after you file a paper tax return for your status to appear.

You can track your refund’s status on the IRS’s Where’s My Refund? tool and via the IRS2GO app. If you file electronically this season, your refund status will be available

It’s officially tax season, and Americans can start checking the status of their refunds within 24 hours after an e-filed return is received.
