Checking Your Tax Refund Status
If you’re one of the lucky ones who are getting an income tax refund this year, you can track your refund status online directly with the IRS.
The IRS cautions you NOT to try to track the status of your tax refund with any links or offers you get in your email. The IRS is NOT going to send you an email, and it’s a perfect opportunity for scammers to try to get your social security number and other private information about you so they can steal your identity.

You WILL have to give the IRS your social security number and the exact amount of the refund you claimed in order to check status. However, this page is secure and it is the ONLY page you should be using if you want to check your refund status.
