HOW TO MAKE THE TAX REFUND PROCESS EASIER
​
Find your tax refund fast by checking your IRS federal tax return status. Before filing and using the ”IRS Where’s My Refund” portal to track your tax return, consider the following:
​
-
Review your return carefully. Mistakes can delay your return’s progress on the tax refund tracker. Be sure to review your information carefully before filing with the IRS.
​
-
File early. The earlier you file, the sooner you can check the status of your IRS federal tax return. Early filing also provides more time to deal with issues should something go wrong.
​
-
E-File your return. Instead of spending 6-8 weeks wondering “where’s my tax refund from the IRS?”, do yourself a favor and file electronically. E-Filed government returns are typically processed in under half the time as paper returns.
​
-
Opt for direct deposit. Avoid waiting for your check by having your IRS refund deposited into your account. Once the WMR reads “Refund Approved,” your money will be ready to spend.
​
-
Track your refund right away. Staying up-to-date on your return ensures you’re in the loop every step of the way.
