Once your tax return is filed, the IRS and State agencies follow a standard verification and refund process. Here is what you can expect:
Refund Process – How It Works
1. Return Submission (E-File)
Your tax return is submitted electronically for the fastest possible processing.
You receive an electronic confirmation once it has been accepted.
2. IRS Review & Verification
The IRS verifies your identity, income, credits, and deductions.
Most returns pass quickly, but some may require additional review.
3. Refund Approval
Once approved, the IRS schedules your refund for release.
If you opted for direct deposit, it is the fastest option.
4. Refund Timeframe
Most refunds are issued within:
- 7 to 21 days for direct deposit
- 2 to 4 weeks if additional verification is required
- Up to 6–8 weeks for mailed checks
(Processing times can vary depending on IRS workload or flags.)
5. Tracking Your Refund
You can track your refund at any time:
- IRS “Where’s My Refund?” Tool
- State refund lookup page
We provide the links and instructions after your filing.
6. If the IRS Requests More Information
If the IRS or State sends a letter, don’t worry—we will help you understand it and respond correctly.
