With Tax Season 2025 open since last January and thousands of United States citizens with their Tax Refund already in their checking accounts, many citizens want to know what has happened to their IRS Tax Refund. If we take into account that United States citizens can access this information, it is much easier to calculate when they will have the money available.
In spite of everything, it is really important to have this information updated at all times, since knowing the status of our Tax Refund is as key as having sent all the necessary documentation on time. In any case, it is important to have as much information as possible, whatever our current situation.
How can I check where is my refund?
The truth is that checking where is my refund is much easier than it seems. Through the official IRS website we will be able to access the tool that will help us find all the information available. Once we enter the website we will have to enter information about our 2024 Tax Return.
This information is easy to find, since we only have to enter the Social Security number (or ITIN, either one is valid), the filing status and the refund we have obtained. With just that we will be able to see all the information available so far, but sometimes we can’t find out much more than what we already know.
So, thanks to this, we could get some information about it, but whatever information we get, we will have to wait until the IRS sends the Direct Deposit to our current accounts.
When does the IRS send the Tax Refund?
The truth is that there is no exact date for sending the Tax Refund money, but there is an approximate date. In this sense, we could get the Tax Refund about three weeks after sending the Tax Return to the IRS, although it also depends on several factors.
To get the Tax Refund as soon as possible, we must:
- Have sent the Tax Return soon.
- Have sent the documentation to the IRS electronically.
- Having sent all the documentation correctly.
- Having the right to a Tax Refund.
Remember that even if when sending the Tax Return documents our calculations say that we will have a Tax Refund payment, the truth is that everything depends directly on whether we are really eligible to obtain the Tax Refund.
Be that as it may, it is true that it is usual to wait around three weeks from the time we send the Tax Return. But it is also true that there is a possibility of having to wait a little longer if we are not eligible or if we have not selected Direct Deposit as the collection method.
