Taxpayers can easily track the status of their Federal tax refund by logging into the IRS website at IRS.gov/refunds and use the Where’s My Refund tool.

Refund status is usually posted within 24 hours after e-filed tax return are received.

Taxpayers will need to following information when utilizing the refund tool:

• Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification number.
• Filing status.
• Exact amount of the refund claimed on the tax return.

Using the Where’s My Refund tool is the most efficient way to get refund status update.  Calling the IRS will not speed up the process.
