Know When to Expect Your Tax Refund
Wondering when your tax refund will be deposited? The IRS has tools available to help you track the status of your refund and estimate the timing of when you will receive your payment.
Visit the IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool at irs.gov/refunds to check the status of your refund. You’ll need the following information:
- Your Social Security number or ITIN
- Your filing status
- The exact refund amount from your tax return
For the most up-to-date information, visit the IRS website or contact your tax professional.
Early Tax Refund Deposit
If you see your tax refund deposit earlier than expected, it could be due to:
- Your bank’s processing time – Some banks post deposits as soon as they receive them.
- IRS processing efficiency – Refunds may be processed faster than estimated.
- Direct deposit timing – If you opted for direct deposit, it can sometimes arrive sooner than the projected date.
However, always verify the deposit amount to ensure it matches what you expected. If you have concerns, check the IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool at irs.gov/refunds or contact our Customer Care Center at (888) 372-9788 for more details.
