| Issue Number: Tax Tip 2021-70Here's how taxpayers can check the status of their federal tax return The most convenient way to check on a tax refund is by using the Where's My Refund? tool.

The IRS updates the Where's My Refund? tool once a day, usually overnight, so taxpayers don't need to check the status more often.
Taxpayers should allow time for their financial institution to post the refund to their account or for it to be delivered by mail. Calling the IRS won't speed up a tax refund. The information available on Where's My Refund? is the same information available to IRS telephone assistors.
