How to Use “Where’s My Refund?”

Using the “Where’s My Refund?” tool is relatively straightforward. You’ll need some specific information on hand, including your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, your filing status, and the exact refund amount shown on your tax return.

The IRS2Go Mobile App

For taxpayers on the go, the IRS also offers a mobile app called IRS2Go. This handy app provides the same information as the “Where’s My Refund?” tool and is available for both iOS and Android users.
