Past Due Refunds
If you filed your return and are expecting a refund, you can go to “Where's My Refund?” at https://sa2.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp to find out whether the Internal Revenue Service processed and sent your refund.
To determine the status of your refund, you will need to provide the following information as shown on your return:
• Social Security Number (or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)
• Filing status, (Single, Married Filing Joint Return, Married Filing Separate Return, Head of Household, or Qualifying Widow(er))
• Exact refund amount shown on your return
If you have not received your check within twenty-eight days of the mailing date shown on “Where’s My Refund?”, you can begin a refund trace online. You can also change your mailing address online if “Where’s My Refund” indicates that your refund was returned as undeliverable.
