To use “Where’s My Refund”, taxpayers must enter Social Security numbers or Individual Taxpayer Identification numbers, filing status and the exact whole dollar amount of expected refunds from the original tax return for the year they're checking.

Once a return is acknowledged, refund status information is typically available within

24 hours after receipt of a taxpayer's e-filed tax year 2023 return; Three to four days after receipt of an e-filed tax year 2022 or 2021 return; and four weeks after mailing a paper return.
