Where's My Refund?

Even now as we come out of tax season, it is not as if we no longer receive any tax questions. And the biggest one now is – where is my refund?

The biggest problem here, though, is that we don’t have any magic way to obtain an answer to this question. There is no back door we can use to look at the IRS and tell you when they are going to get to any specific return.

Fortunately, though, the agency does have some tools available to everyone so you can at least get an idea where things stand. The easiest way to do this is with the web tool at www.irs.gov/refunds. There you will enter some personal information to find out where your return is in the process. There is also an option to use your individual online account at irs.gov and opt in to receive email notifications when there is an update to your refund status.

Overall, most returns and refunds are processed within 21 days. Of course, this is only most, and there could be many reasons for your refund being held up. At this point, many on-time returns are coming out of that window, so we may only be able to recommend patience. It is very nice when everything works well and quick, but it is also important to remember that even when things take time it doesn’t mean there is going to be a bad answer at the end of the road.

Just know that if you did process your tax return with us, we will be with you every step of the way until you get a final answer to that original question that is burning so bright for many. 

Warmly,

Josh Bousquet
