Where’s my refund? There are a number of ways to check.

Tax-RefundIf you’re waiting on a federal income tax refund, there are quick ways to check on the status of your refund both online and on your mobile device.

Remember, the IRS has warned that refunds paid for this tax season (2014 federal income tax returns) may be delayed by several weeks due to budget cutbacks.  Read more in our blog: IRS Cuts Affect Tax Refunds and Audits.

The IRS provides an online service called “Where’s My Refund?” that links the taxpayer to information that is updated every 24 hours.  A taxpayer must submit their social security number, the exact amount of the expected refund and filing status.  The information is usually updated overnight.
