How long does the process take to receive a refund after you've filed?
The processing time of a refund return depends on the method used for filing. If you have requested direct deposit, the refund should take one week less time to be issued as opposed to getting a paper check.
How can I check the status of my refund?
The fastest, easiest way to find out about your current year refund is to log onto www.irs.gov. Click on where's My Refund then go to Get My Refund Status or you can call Refund Hotline at (800) 829-1954. Be sure to have a copy of your current tax return available because you will need to know your social security number shown on your return, the filing status and the exact whole dollar amount of our refund. The IRS updates refund information every seven days.
Can I use my refund for paying other debts?
Your tax refund may not be refunded to you if you are delinquent in child or child and spousal support payments, have a past due Federal debt such as a student loan, or owe state income taxes. Your refund will be used to pay other debts you owe.
Can a person receive a tax refund if they are currently in a payment plan for prior year's federal taxes?
Any refund due you in a future year will be applied against the amount you owe. Therefore, you may not get all of your refund if you owe certain past-due amounts, such as federal tax, state tax, a student loan, or child support. The IRS will automatically apply the refund to the taxes owed. If the refund does not take care of the tax debt; you must continue the installment agreement.
If I lost my refund check, than how do I get a new one?
You can call the IRS at (800) 829-1954. If your refund check has not been cashed, they normally provide a replacement within six to eight weeks. You may need to complete a Form 3911 Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund, to initiate a claim. If your refund check has been cashed the Financial Management Service will provide a claim package which includes a copy of the check.
