Call 1-800-829-4477 (24 hours a day, seven days a week for automated refund information)

If you're a smart phone user, the IRS also has Android and Iphone apps available this year to check the status of your federal return.

State Income Tax Refund Status Information

If you're expecting a refund on your state taxes as well, you'll either need to check your state's website for the department of revenue, or in some states – give them a call. Each state has a different place to check state income tax refund status, unfortunately there isn't one clearing house to find them all. So we found this extensive list of all the state revenue websites for your reference. Find your state in the table below and follow the link (or call) to check your refund status.
