Federal refund status

Check your refund directly with the IRS.

For current federal refund information, use the official IRS tracker. Asal Tax Services cannot change an IRS processing date, but we can help you locate the information shown on your return or understand a notice.

Before you start

Have three details ready

1

Taxpayer ID number

Use the taxpayer identification number entered first on the federal return.

2

Filing status

Select the exact status on the return, such as single, married filing jointly, or head of household.

3

Exact refund amount

Enter the whole-dollar federal refund shown on the return—not the combined federal and state amount.

When should status appear?

The IRS says refund status is generally available about 24 hours after electronically filing a current-year return, about three days after e-filing a prior-year return, or about four weeks after mailing a paper return. The IRS also says many e-filed refunds are issued in under 21 days, but returns requiring correction or review can take longer.

Common reasons for a delay

  • Information on the return does not match IRS records.
  • The return claims credits that require additional review.
  • The IRS needs identity verification or more documents.
  • Bank information is incomplete or incorrect.
  • The return is amended, injured-spouse related, or filed on paper.

Refund reduced or different?

The IRS or Treasury may adjust a refund for tax debt or certain other debts. A notice should explain the change or identify the agency that received an offset. Compare the notice with your filed return before deciding whether to respond.
