IRS: Where's My Refund?

You filed your tax return and you're expecting a refund. You have just one question and you want the answer now - Where's My Refund?

Every year the IRS has millions of dollars of tax refunds returned because they are undeliverable.  This is more likely to occur if you have recently moved to a new location.

Whether you split your refund among several accounts, opted for direct deposit to one account or asked IRS to mail you a check, you can track your refund through the IRS secure Web site, Where's My Refund? 

Note: If you have trouble while using this application, please check the Requirements to make sure you have the correct browser software for this application to function properly and check to make sure our system is available.

If you don't have access to the Internet or prefer to check in a refund by phone, you can call 1-800-829-1954.

To help avoid any future refund from being undeliverable, it's important that you inform the IRS when you move or have a change of address. The IRS requires that you fill out a Form 8822 (Change of Address) as notice or any address changes.

There is less chance for misplacing a refund if you have your check direct deposited.  And this year, for the first time, you can have the IRS deposit your income tax refund into as many as three different accounts, such as checking, savings, an individual retirement account (IRA) or a mutual fund account investment account. A split refund will require the new IRS Form 8888 (Direct Deposit of Refund To More Than One Account) be completed and submitted along with your IRS income tax form.
