If you’re waiting for your tax return to arrive, either through direct deposit to your bank or as a paper check, don’t file a second tax return or call the IRS (per a statement on the agency’s website). Instead, use one of two tools available through the IRS website and/or its mobile app to check the status of your return.
IRS2Go is the official mobile app of the IRS, which you can use to check your refund status, make a payment, find free tax preparation assistance, sign up for helpful tax tips and more. The app is available in Spanish and English, and you can download it from Apple App Store, Google Play or Amazon.
