TRACK YOUR REFUND

When will you receive your refund? The answer depends on how you filed your return. The IRS should issue your refund check within six to eight weeks of filing a paper return. If you choose to receive your refund through direct deposit, you should receive it within a week. If you use e-file, your refund should be issued between two and three weeks. 

You can check on the status of your refund by clicking on the links below.

TRACK YOUR AMENDED RETURN

The IRS accepts most amended returns. However, since you have to mail amended returns to the IRS, they take longer to process. If you’re going to receive a refund from your amended
return, the refund can take up to three months to arrive. You can check the status of your amended return on the IRS website. Sometimes, the IRS disagrees with changes to amended returns. If that happens, you have two options to fix the issue by appealing the IRS decision or taking the case to court.

Amended return denial notices are usually vague, so it’s not always clear why the IRS denied the amended return. Get help from a trusted IRS expert. You or your tax pro should start by getting a complete understanding of why the IRS denied the claim. Then, you’ll be able to choose the best course to take.
