Where is my Tax Refund? Get Your Tax Refund Status Here

Have you been wondering "where is my tax refund"? To check your tax refund status, call 1-800-829-4477 and use the tax refund status option offered on the TeleTax system. Some refunds may be delayed because of compliance reviews to ensure that returns are accurate.

If you file a complete and accurate tax return and you are due a federal refund, you should receive your refund:

  • Within 2 weeks after the acknowledgment date if you file electronically, and you elect to receive your refund via Direct Deposit.
  • Within 4 weeks after the acknowledgment date if you file electronically, and you receive your refund via U.S. Mail.
  • Within 6 weeks from the date the IRS receives your return, if you file via U.S. Mail.

For more specific information regarding anticipated refund dates with electronic filing, see IRS Publication 2043, IRS e-file 2010 Refund Cycle Chart.
