How do I check the status of my refund money?
You can check your refund status at www.irs.gov using the “Where’s my refund?” tool. You can also call the IRS refund hotline at 800-829-1954.
Refund information is usually available 24 hours after the IRS acknowledges receipt of your e-filed return.
If you don’t receive your refund within five days of the date specified by the IRS, contact the IRS refund hotline.
