If you filed your federal income tax return by April 15 and expect a refund, you can track its progress. The established tracking methods are to call the IRS’s automated hotline at 800-829-1954 or use “Where’s My Refund?” at irs.gov. Refund information is usually available within 24 hours of e-filing and four weeks after filing a paper return. The IRS also offers a new tool for taxpayers who’ve set up individual online accounts. You can opt to receive email notifications about status changes (for example, when your refund is approved). Just know that refunds can be delayed if you make errors, file an amended return or claim certain credits. Contact us with questions.
