Where's My Refund in the United States?

Where's My Refund shows your status 24 hours after you e-file a current-year return, 3 days after a prior-year e-file, and 4 weeks after a paper return. An e-filed refund usually arrives in 3 weeks. A mailed return usually takes 6 or more weeks from the date the IRS received it. Returns that claim the Earned Income Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit are held until mid-February. You can check in your IRS account. Without signing in, you need the exact refund amount, your Social Security number or ITIN, your filing status, and the tax year.
