How to Track Your IRS Refund

You can check your refund status directly on the IRS website using the following link:

https://www.irs.gov/refunds

  You will need the following information:
  • Social Security number or ITIN
  • Your filing status
  • Your exact refund amount
  To find this information:
  • Your Social Security number and filing status are located on the first page of your 1040 tax return.
  • Your refund amount is on the second page of your 1040 tax return, line 35a.

Refer to the example below to locate these details on your 1040 copy.

The IRS website provides the most up-to-date information regarding your refund status. OTM Taxes and other tax offices will not have additional information beyond what is available through the IRS’s “Where’s My Refund” tool.
