Where is my refund?
Many of you may be eager to know when you can have your refund. Even if you check “Where is my refund” every five minutes you won’t have anything new. The status of refunds is refreshed only once a day, generally overnight. According to IRS, 90 percent of the refunds are issued within 21 days. There aren't any secret tricks to checking on the status of a refund. The best way to check the status of a refund is online through the “Where’s my Refund?” tool at IRS.gov or via the IRS2Go phone app.
