Where’s My Refund?

Right about now I get a lot of calls from clients who have not received their federal refunds. There is an easy way to find out where it is.

First, go to this link

https://sa2.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp

You will need to enter the following information

* Your Social Security Number (or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)
* Your Filing Status
* The exact whole dollar amount of your refund

And VOILA you will get information on what is happening with your refund.

Just remember, if the IRS says they mailed the check last Friday, it probably means that it actually got to the post office next Friday. This is a great argument for having the IRS do a direct deposit your refund.
