The IRS began accepting electronic tax returns Jan. 23, with more than 153 million individual tax returns expected to be filed in 2017. Four out of five tax returns will be prepared electronically using tax return preparation software. Many software companies and tax professionals accepted tax returns before Jan. 23 and then will submit the returns now that the IRS system is open. The IRS will begin processing paper tax returns at the same time. Employers had to have W-2 forms in the mail by Jan. 31.

The tool can show you when the IRS receives your return, when the refund is approved and when the refund is sent.
