Important: If your 2020 tax return status filed in 2021 is still being processed after you have filed your return, the IRS has confirmed that they are backlogged on processing and issuing refunds.
When will get my tax return?
When the IRS processes your tax return and approves your refund, you can see your actual personalized refund date. Even though the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days after we receive your tax return, it’s possible your tax return may require additional review and take longer.
How can I check the status of my tax refund?
Taxpayers can view status of refund 10 days after their refund has been sent by the Assessing Officer to the Refund Banker. Status of ‘paid’ refund, being paid other than through ‘Refund Banker’, can also be viewed at by entering the ‘PAN’ and ‘Assessment Year’.
