Can you check your tax refund if you mailed it
If you mailed your tax return and are wondering if it's been processed, you can check the status of your refund in a few ways:
- IRS Website: You can check the status of your refund on the IRS website using the "Where's My Refund?" tool. You'll need to provide your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), filing status, and exact refund amount.
- IRS Phone Number: You can call the IRS Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1040 (Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time) to check on the status of your refund. Have your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status, and exact refund amount ready.
- IRS Mobile App: You can also use the IRS2Go mobile app to check the status of your refund. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices.
- Check Your Mail: If you've already mailed your tax return, you can also check your mail for a letter from the IRS confirming receipt of your return. This letter is usually sent within 4-6 weeks after the IRS receives your return.
If you're unable to check the status of your refund online or by phone, you can try contacting the IRS by mail or in person at a local IRS office.
Remember to allow 6-8 weeks for your refund to be processed and mailed to you after you've filed your tax return. If you're experiencing delays or issues with your refund, you can contact the IRS for assistance.
