Each of these has a specific meaning that tells you how far along the processing is and how soon can you expect to see your return (if applicable).<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the IRS updates this system once per day, so refreshing the page over and over again will not change anything. The Where\u2019s My Refund Tool is taken offline on Mondays from midnight to 3:00 AM EST for routine maintenance, so don\u2019t panic if you check it late at night and it\u2019s suddenly \u201cgone\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what each of the statuses mean:<\/p>\n<h4>1. Return Received<\/h4>\n<p>The first of the statuses, this one just means that your tax return has been received and the IRS is processing it. You can expect to wait 21 days at most from the day when they got your tax return, so wait at least a few days to a week before checking again.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Refund Approved<\/h4>\n<p>Once the IRS has finished processing your return and they approve it, the Refund Approved status will appear on Where\u2019s My Refund. Now the tool will actually give you a specific date on which to expect the money to be deposited to your bank account.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Refund Sent<\/h4>\n<p>As you can imagine, this status means the IRS has already sent your refund as a direct deposit to your bank, or that it has mailed a check for the amount. Now it\u2019s up to your financial institution of choice to actually get and process this payment, which can take an additional five days (or weeks if you\u2019ll be getting it by mail).<\/p>\n<h3><b>Dispositivos m\u00f3viles Smartphone - \u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 mi reembolso?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n puede comprobar el estado de su reembolso utilizando su dispositivo m\u00f3vil.

Still, there\u2019s a possibility that yours might be delayed, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov\/get-help\/refunds\/held-or-stopped-refunds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reason won\u2019t be immediately apparent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The following are some of the most common reasons why your refund might be delayed.<\/p>\n<h3>1. The IRS Used Your Refund As Payment<\/h3>\n<p>The IRS are the ones who issue your refund, but they also know if you have outstanding debts too. It\u2019s possible that some of your refund (or all of it, in some cases) has been used to pay for those debts.<\/p>\n<p>The usual types of debt that cause the IRS to offset your refund if you owe federal taxes. In this case, you will get the CP49 notice \u201cOverpayment Applied To Taxes Owed\u201d. Other types of debt can also make the IRS take a cut of your refund through the Treasury Offset Program (TOP), which is caused by past-due child support, unpaid state taxes, unemployment compensation payments, and debts to other federal agencies.<\/p>\n<h3>2. The IRS Is Holding Your Refund<\/h3>\n<p>Usually, when the IRS holds your refund, they also send you a request for more information\u2014not because you\u2019re being audited, mind you, but because there might be a mistake or lack of clarity somewhere in your return.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the IRS just taking a chunk of your refund, which is usually very cut and dry (and you will be notified of it), having your refund on hold can point to a number of situations:<b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Math Error Detected: <\/b>Taxpayers using software to file their return probably won\u2019t face this issue, since the software detects math errors beforehand. But, if you mail in your return, it\u2019s possible the IRS will detect a math error. Now, the IRS calls them \u201cmath errors\u201d but it\u2019s actually a catch-all term for all sorts of missing information, such as in your SSN or missing documents to support a credit or deduction.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Identity Theft Suspected: <\/b>The IRS has several filters in order to prevent identity theft, and sometimes those filters can delay your refund until you verify your identity. You will get IRS Letter 5071C asking you to confirm your identity by providing a few different documents.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>You Are Not Eligible For A Tax Credit: <\/b>You might have claimed a tax credit in your return that the IRS does not believe you are eligible for, such as the EITC, ACTC, American Opportunity Tax Credit, and others. This instance does actually count as an IRS audit, and they will send you Letter CP75 asking you to produce proof that you qualify for the credit.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>ACA Health Insurance Issues: <\/b>Sometimes, issues may arise with the accuracy of tax returns in relation to health insurance coverage, such as a lack of information in your tax return.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Missing Old File Return: <\/b>Not being up to date in your filing can bring about issues. We\u2019ve discussed these consequences more in-depth before, but the relevant part now is that one of those consequences is that the IRS can freeze any refunds coming your way until you properly file the past-due return (regardless of what year it was).<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>You\u2019re Being Audited: <\/b>If you\u2019re under audit, the IRS can freeze your tax refund until the audit is completed. Should the IRS ask you to prove you qualify for, say, the EITC or ACTC, your refund will remained freeze until the audit\u2019s resolution.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Return Filed Too Late\/Early:<\/b> Filing your tax return too early or at the very last minute can trigger some IRS anti-fraud filters and add at least another week to your waiting period. In general, returns filed before January 26 will most likely get your refund delayed.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Filing A Paper Tax Return: <\/b>The IRS still process physical tax returns by entering the data by hand into the system, so that can really slow things down. This is the reason why taxpayers who mail-in their returns have a longer waiting period (six weeks compared to the three weeks for people who file electronically).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11507 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.irs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-olly-3778966-1024x732.jpg\" alt=\"where's-my-refund\" width=\"640\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.irs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-olly-3778966-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.irs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-olly-3778966-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.irs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-olly-3778966-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.irs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-olly-3778966-1536x1098.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.irs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-olly-3778966-2048x1464.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.irs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/pexels-olly-3778966-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How To Check The Status Of Your Tax Refund: FAQ<\/h2>\n<p><b>1. How can I check the status of my tax refund?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The quickest ways to check your refund status are the \u201cWhere\u2019s My Refund?\u201d online tool or the mobile app \u201cIRS2Go\u201d. Both of them require your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), as well as your filing status and the amount listed on your tax return.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. How long do I have to wait to receive my refund?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It depends. If you chose the fastest route (e-filed your return and asked for direct deposit), your refund should be issued within 21 days. If, however, you mailed in your physical return and asked for a check, it could take up to 8 weeks (or even longer) depending on processing times.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. How soon can I check my refund status?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As soon as 24 hours after you submit your return electronically. If you mailed a physical form, however, it can take up to four weeks for the status to become available.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. What\u2019s the difference between \u201creceived\u201d and \u201capproved\u201d mean?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cReceived\u201d is the first step after submitting your return to the IRS. It means your return is already being processed and no further action is required on your part (unless contacted by the IRS). \u201cApproved\u201d means the IRS has already reviewed and approved your refund, and it is being prepared to make its way to you; the deposit or mailing dates are usually indicated along with the status.<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Why is my refund delayed?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s plenty of reasons why a refund might be delayed, such as spelling or calculation errors on your return, missing information, or even because you claim certain credits (such as the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit). Claiming a credit can delay your return until mid-February because it requires extra consideration from the IRS.<\/p>\n<p><b>6. What can I do if I don&#8217;t receive my refund?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b>You should contact the IRS if you haven\u2019t received your refund after 21 days of e-filing (or six weeks since mailing) your return. It\u2019s also a good time to check the \u201cWhere\u2019s My Refund?\u201d tool to receive updates on the matter.
