The Internal Revenue Service reminds
taxpayers that the easiest
way to check on a tax refund is
“Where’s My Refund?,” an online tool
available at IRS.gov and through the
IRS2Go app. The fastest way to get a
refund is to use IRS e-fi le and direct
deposit.
Using the “Where’s My Refund?”
online tool, taxpayers can start
checking on the status of their return
within 24 hours after the IRS
receives an e-filed return or four
weeks after the taxpayer mailed a
paper return. The tool has a tracker
that displays progress through
three phases: (1) Return Received;
(2) Refund Approved; and (3) Refund

All that is needed to use “Where’s
My Refund?” is the taxpayer’s Social
Security number, tax filing status
(such as single, married, head of
household) and exact amount of the
refund claimed on the return.
“Where’s My Refund?” is updated
no more than once every 24 hours,
usually overnight, so there’s no need
to check the status more often.
Taxpayers should only call the
IRS tax help hotline on the status of
their refund if it has been 21 days or
more since the return was e-filed,
or six weeks or more since the return
was mailed, or when “Where’s
My Refund?” tells the taxpayer to
contact the IRS.
Taxpayers who owe should pay
as much as possible to minimize
interest and penalty charges
Taxpayers should vi sit
www.IRS.gov/payments to explore
their payment options.
They can pay online, by phone
(telephone numbers available at
IRS.gov/payments) or using their
mobile device and the IRS2Go app.
Payment options available include
electronic funds withdrawal
(during e-file), bank account (Direct
Pay), debit or credit card, and the
Electronic Federal Tax Payment
System (EFTPS).
Taxpayers unsure of the amount
they owe they can visit IRS.gov/
account, and when logged in they
can view their balance, payment
history, and make a payment.
It’s especially important in 2019
for taxpayers who had an unexpected
result when they filed their 2018
tax return to perform a Paycheck
Checkup now to determine whether
the right amount is being withheld
for their 2019 taxes.
Taxpayers who do need to
adjust their withholding should
submit a 2019 Form W-4, Employee’s
Withholding Allowance
Certificate, to their employer as
soon as possible.
