You can get three pieces of information on Where’s My Refund?: confirmation the IRS has received your federal tax return, approval of the refund and issuing date of the refund. Information for returns from tax years 2021, 2022 and 2023 are available.
This year’s version also includes upgrades designed to reduce the need to call the IRS, the agency said. Those upgrades include messages with detailed refund status provided in plain language, access on mobile devices and with the IRS2Go app and notifications indicating whether the IRS needs additional information.
