You can check the status of your e-filed tax return through the IRS website, where you'll be able to track the progress of your refund or any potential issues with your return.
The IRS will send you an email notification once your return has been processed, and you can also check the status of your refund on the IRS website or by calling the IRS phone number.
You'll need to have your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, as well as the exact amount of your refund, to check the status of your e-filed tax return online.
The IRS typically takes 6-8 weeks to process e-filed tax returns, but this timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of your return and the workload of the IRS.

If sufficient time has passed from that date, call our Refund line. We usually process electronically filed tax returns the same day that the return is transmitted to us.
If you receive a notice from the Revenue Administration Division indicating that a change was made to your return, review the notice carefully and contact us if you have questions. Please have the notice available when you call.
Here are some common reasons why your refund may be delayed:
- You owe money for past taxes, child support, to another state or federal agency. Those monies will be deducted from your refund until the debt is repaid.
- You tried to claim an ineligible dependent. There are specific regulations regarding claiming a dependent. Any dependent you are not legally able to claim will be disallowed.
- You failed to include the Form 502B, Dependents' Information. You must include this form with your Form 502 to claim any dependent other than you and your spouse.
- You tried to claim a dependent whose social security number has already been claimed by someone else.
- You did not provide a valid Social Security number or ITIN.
- You tried to claim a deduction for which you are not eligible. Ineligible deductions will be disallowed.
- You claimed a credit without including Form 502CR and/or any required documentation with the return.
- You forgot to calculate the local tax along with the state income tax.
- Your W-2 or 1099 has been altered.
