To find out the status of your taxes, you’ll typically want to check the following:
1. Federal Tax Refund Status (U.S.)
- Visit the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool: https://www.irs.gov/refunds
- You will need your Social Security number or ITIN, your filing status, and the exact refund amount shown on your tax return.
- This tool updates once every 24 hours, usually overnight.
2. State Tax Refund Status
- Each state has its own tax department website with a refund status tool.
- Search “[Your State] tax refund status” (e.g., “California tax refund status”).
- You’ll usually need your Social Security number and the refund amount.
3. If You Mean Tax Payments
- Check your bank or payment service records for confirmation of payments made.
- For federal payments, you can log into your IRS online account: https://www.irs.gov/payments/view-your-tax-account
4. If You Haven’t Filed Yet
- You can file your taxes electronically through IRS Free File or tax software.
- If you owe taxes, you can pay online via IRS Direct Pay or other IRS payment options.
If you provide more details (e.g., country, whether you mean refund or payment), I can give more specific guidance!
