When will I get my refund

Please note that MyFreeTaxReturn.com does not have access to your refund status. This information is only made available directly through the IRS. We recommend reading the following information below if you need assistance regarding your refund status. 

IRS Where’s My Refund

The IRS suggests that you track the status of your refund through the Where’s My Refund application directly on the IRS website. Please note that it may take the IRS up to 72 hours to post your return information after it has been accepted. If you have not received your refund three weeks after the date of your acknowledgment, or if you have any other return related questions, you may contact the IRS toll free phone number.

The IRS states that you can use their Where’s My Refund tool to check the status of your return:   

  • 24 hours after e-filing a tax year 2025 return

  • 3 or 4 days after e-filing a tax year 2024 or 2023 return

  • 4 weeks or more after mailing a return

Where’s My Refund? has a tracker that displays progress through 3 stages:

  1. Return Received

  2. Refund Approved

  3. Refund Sent

You will get personalized refund information based on the processing of your tax return. The tool will provide an actual refund date as soon as the IRS processes your tax return and approves your refund.
