E-filed tax returns with direct deposit: E-file with direct deposit is the fastest way to get your federal tax refund. Typically, the IRS expects to issue most tax refunds within 21 days after acceptance if there are no issues. Mailed paper returns: Avoiding a paper return is more important than ever to avoid refund delays, if possible. The IRS cautions if you need your refund quickly do not file on paper. Usually, the IRS says to allow 4 weeks before checking the status of your refund, and that refund processing can take 6 to 8 weeks from the date the IRS receives your return. Tax Refund Processing Start checking status 24 – 48 hours after e-file: Once you have e-filed your tax return, you can check your status using the IRS Where’s My Refund? tool. You will need your Social security number or ITIN, your filing status, and your exact refund amount. Return Received Notice within 24 – 48 hours after e-file: The IRS Where’s My Refund? tool will show “Return Received” status once they begin processing your tax return. You will need the following information when checking refund status: Social security number or ITIN, your filing status, and your exact federal tax refund amount shown on the tax return. You will not see a tax refund date until the IRS finishes processing your tax return and approves your tax refund. Status change from “Return Received” to “Refund Approved”: Once the IRS finishes processing your tax return and confirms your tax refund is approved, your status will change from “Return Received” to “Refund Approved.” The change in status can take a few days, and a tax refund date will not be provided in Where’s My Refund? until your tax return is processed and your tax refund is approved. Where’s My Refund? tool shows refund date: The IRS will provide a personalized refund date once your status moves to “Refund Approved.” Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent”: If the status in Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent,” the IRS has sent your tax refund to your financial institution for direct deposit. It can take 1 to 5 days for your financial institution to deposit funds into your account. If you opted to receive your tax refund via mail, it could take several weeks for your check to arrive. Track your refund in TurboTax You could experience delays in receiving your tax refund if your return: Includes errors – The IRS has indicated that your refund could be delayed if the information you provided on your tax return does not match the IRS records. Is incomplete – If you didn’t have all of your documents and filed an inaccurate return Needs further review in general Is affected by identity theft or fraud Includes Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit – Under the Path Act, the IRS cannot issue a refund that includes the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit before mid-February. Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation PDF, which could take up to 14 weeks to process Tax Refund Status FAQ Will I see a date right away when I check the status in “Where’s My Refund”? The IRS Where’s My Refund? tool will not give you a date until your tax return is received, and processed, and your tax refund is approved by the IRS. It’s been longer than 21 days since the IRS has received my tax return, and I have not received my tax refund. What’s happening? Some tax returns take longer than others to process depending on your tax situation. Some of the reasons it may take longer include incomplete information, an error, or the IRS may need to review it further. I requested my money be automatically deposited into my bank account, but I was mailed a check. What happened? The IRS is limiting the number of direct deposits that go into a single bank account or prepaid debit card to three tax refunds per year. Your limit may have been exceeded. In addition, for a small number of returns, the IRS decides there may be indications that the bank account on the return is suspicious and they may decide to issue a check instead.

So now I got a letter saying they didn’t know if it was me and they want to check my credit report to verify I’m me?????????? What the heck is going on with that? Now it says it could take another 6 weeks to verify it’s me???? Can someone please explain this to me???? Reply Filed my taxes through turbo tax on February 11, 2015. Both state & federal were accepted that day. Federal was approved on the 19th, and stated that DD would be on the 3rd of March. 3rd of March rolls around, no money deposited. Check the federal website, which states to check the direct deposit information to make sure it was correct as well as checking with my bank. I did both of those things, the direct deposit information was in fact correct (and the same information I have used for the last 15 years, NO CHANGES), called my bank and no DD had been made nor had ANY HCA DD been attempted to be made in that amount from the IRS. So I am not sure if this is the IRS attempt at floating tax payers monies or an error on part on turbo tax. I do not understand how for 15 years I can have the EXACT SAME BANK INFO and it be direct deposited with out any issues, and now there are issues. I am more than a little mad that you can not get ahold of anyone, and find it more that interesting that the only things the IRS tells you to do is to check issues on your end (ie check direct deposit info, and check with bank), but there is no way to check them. Because this is OBVIOUSLY someone else’s mistake and not ours. However, we are having to spend the COUNTLESS hours and time trying to figure it out. And finding out nothing! I am certainly interested in using H.R. Block next year, if they truly guarantee your refund back in the days they state. Because at this point, I am not seeing what Turbo Tax is doing to help. I certainly hope this doesn’t come out that this is yet another one of their issues that they are having. Or I am out, and I have been a loyal customer for the 15 years I have been filing taxes. It is very frustrating to pay over 85K in federal taxes alone, and to not even be able to get a very SMALL portion back that is owed to you and is MINE to begin with, all because of someone ELSE MISTAKES. It would be one thing if it was my own mistake. I am sick of everyone else trying to keep MY MONEY!!!! Reply I filed taxes Feb 10 and it says its still being processed its been saying that for an entire week now! I haven’t received a letter I don’t owe any money and it has never taken this long can you tell me why this is happening? Reply I received an email from turbo tax stating I owe $71 bc I chose to let them take it from my refund granted turbo tax said the refund amount was $9332. Now the email states my refund is insufficient to cover it. I filed January 30th where’s my refund has said processing for a month. I’ve recieced nothing from the IRS I’ve called them and they said they needed to verify my information. Did that and they said allow 6-8 weeks. However why is turbo tax saying the refund is insufficient?!? I do not owe any debut of $9000 that’s for sure. Reply I fiel feb 20 when can i expect my returned on were is my refund it says returned recive Reply I filed my taxes on 2/01/2015 and it was accepted now all its says is being processed. By the way I did them by turbo-tax Reply I filed my tax return on January 30th, 2 days before my finance. He received his 2 days later, and I didn’t and still haven’t. Here we are March 3rd, and I still haven’t received any of my money! That’s 4 weeks. We filed the same exact way, the only difference is I have a very small donation to a local store. I cannot believe that a measly hundred dollar donation has held me back from my money! I guess I should never donate again! RIDICULOUS Reply My Refund was confirmed and accepted on Feb. 2nd and I was given then timeline that I would receive it by Feb 23rd. Everytime I check, it says that it’s still being processed and I can’t actually speak to anyone to find out if there was an error or if there was information that is needed for me to get my refund. I have it being direct deposited into my same account from last year. Also, I moved last week so If they end up sending it by mail for whatever reason, it will go to my last address and i won’t receive it. Can you please let me know what is happening and if I can actually talk to a human being instead of an automated line that only tells me “its still being processed” Reply I did my taxes through turbo tax for the first time. The refund was to go to Mr bank. I’ve been waiting 33 days and it still says being processed. Did the it’s really get my taxes??? Maybe I did something wrong and they didn’t get it at all… what is going on??? Reply I filed my taxes 1/20/15 and they were accepted 1/21/15. My bars disappeared about 2 weeks later. I called and they told me to call back after 21 days in which I did. I finally got a letter saying i was under review(randomly picked for whatever reason). Says I don’t have to send any information I should get my refund by 4/9/15 or they will send another letter if anything else is needed. I did speak with IRS yesterday and they have no new information. I’m basically playing the waiting game. This sucks so bad! How can you just hold on to my money. I had everything needed and correct! Does it take this long to review?! Reply I received a letter stating that I was under reveiw. It also said that I should reveive my refundir another letter by April 9th. Will it really take that long? I filed & was accepted on Jan 20. The date in the letter is Feb 23, but I received it a couple days before that. Reply Here it is hot off the press. The IRS is randomly selecting us to confirm identity. If you get a letter from the IRS Ltr 5071c they are just verifying this is your return. You will have to answer some questions based off a soft copy of your credit report. When you pass they will update your file. It can still take up to 6 weeks to receive your refund. If you e filed with your pay status direct deposit it will still be paid out the way you requested when filing. The good news is they are trying to protect from identity theft. The other news is you obviously didn’t get your return when anticipated. I hope this helps some of you out there. Reply I filed my taxes with Turbo Tax on the 4th and have noticed quite a few people who did on that same day and are complaining about not getting a refund. Turbo tax is of no help. My return was accepted the same day and still haven’t received my return. Automated line said I have to wait 21 days to seek help from someone at the IRS. Is that 21 business days or regular day? Reply I have received my tax return and I was accepted on February 6th. What should I do? It’s still saying ” still processing”. Reply I ACCIDENTLY PUT WRONG ACCOUNT NUMBER AND MY DIRECT DEPOSIT WAS SENT BACK ON JAN 29TH TO IRS, THE “WHERES MY REFUND TOOL” SAYS THEY MAILED A PAPER CHECK ON 2/11/2015. IT IS NOW MARCH 3, 2015 AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE ONCE THEY CLAIM ITS BEEN MAILED?

Has to go back to being processed and it will take until March to complete.

I filed January 21st and my refund status says it’s still processing. Me and my husband filed the same day and he got his check on February 4th, what could be the reason I haven’t received mine yet Reply
I filed on February 4th, so did my significant other. Both of us were told between Feb 4th and Feb 25th for our return which is direct deposited. Still no return and it is March 2nd. I tried to contact the IRS and all I get is the automated system. And it just says its being processed. Never had any prior issues. Is there any number I can call to speak with a representative?

I filed my taxes with Turbotax on Jan 21st and received the federal refund shortly after. The Connecticut refund is still “Under review”. When I call the state office, they say it is under review and leave no further comment. How can I follow up? Thanks, Saeid Reply

I e-filed my taxes the end of Jan. I have already received my federal, but have yet to receive my state taxes. Who do I contact about my MA state taxes? Thank you. Reply
Hi Lisa. My refund was accepted on February 9. It has been received by the IRS and it’s being processed. I don’t have any offsets because it was all taken out of my state taxes and I’m still due a refund from them. I also have it being directly deposited into my account. I’m due to get it on March 2 but it’s still telling me it’s being processed. What’s going on? Reply
I filled my taxes on February 6, 2015 and was accepted the same day. On the IRS website it does not provide me a refund date. It say’s it is still being processed. I am confused because I know people that filled after me and have received their refund. Reply
I filed my taxes on Jan 21, they were accepted the same day. But the IRS states they did not accepted them until Jan. 23. I still have not received my refund. I have called 3 times and spoke with 3 different people and I have gotten 3 different answers. I have also talked to a tax advocate and they couldn’t give me an answer. I am not sure what to do.

Yes my wife and I both used turbotax, and we both went with direct deposit, with hers it said she put in the wrong bank information and she received a paper check, so I thought mine was going to be the same. It’s now 3 days past when I was supposed to get my refund, so I checked the IRS site and it says it was deposited on the 12. What happened?? I haven’t gotten my refund, and I’m starting to get a little angry. Can anyone please help me find out what I’m supposed to do? I’ve been waiting patiently for too long. Reply
