Tax Season 2024: The status of your refund is usually available within 24 hours after e-filing your tax return. If you file your tax return on paper, the process may take up to four weeks. The IRS does not send tax refunds immediately after receiving your tax return. You can choose when to check the status of your tax return and there is no ‘right time’.
For a status update on your tax return, you must have submitted your return electronically or by mail. The time it will take for you to receive a resolution will depend on how your return was submitted. Here are some guidelines:
If you have submitted your taxes electronically (e-filed), you can track the status of your refund within 24 hours. The IRS estimates that it will issue your refund after a 21-day waiting period.
