Where's your refund?

You’ve filed your taxes and now wonder the whereabouts of your federal tax refund.

You can find out online at “Where’s My Refund,” a feature on the IRS’ Web site.

To trace your refund you will need to enter your Social Security number, filing status and the exact amount of your refund reported on your return.

If you electronically filed your return, you can check after seven days to find where your refund is. Paper filers need to wait four to six weeks after mailing in their return to check on the status of their refund.

If you find that the IRS wasn’t able to deliver your refund because you moved, you can change your address online. Also, if the IRS says it sent out your refund and 28 days has gone by without you receiving it, you can put a trace on the refund through the site, too.

The IRS is also working on a similar online tool for taxpayers to track their economic stimulus payment. Tax rebates are expected to start going out in early May.
