The IRS has instituted a simple method for checking the status of a individual's tax refund. Where's My Refund is what the IRS calls its tool which allows filers to check the status of their Federal Refund. In order to check this you must have first filed your return and it must have been received by the IRS. Status updates are typically only made every 24hrs, so you may also need to wait at least one day after receipt of the return prior to using the IRS Where's My Refund tool. Twenty-one days or less is the stated turn-around time in which a filer should receive their refund.
