Federal Income Tax Refund Schedule for 2009, 2010
Are you wondering when to expect your refund or where your federal refund is?
Once you have filed your tax return you will be given a date as to when to expect your return based on the tax refund schedule. This schedule is based on the date range your return was filed and accepted by the IRS.
Also the schedule will give you an estimated date for a direct deposit transaction if you elected to have it direct deposited or an estimated date of when the paper check will be mailed.
If your looking for a faster return for your refund, e-filing and direct deposit are the fastest options available.
However, there are online services available to check the status of your return. You will need the following information to access the status of your return:
- Your Social Security Number
- Your Filing Status
- The Exact Dollar Amount of Your Return
If you have e-filed your tax return you can check the status of your return within 72 hours after it was accepted. However, if you mailed your tax return you will have to wait 3-4 weeks from the date it was accepted by the IRS.
We suggest using an online tax service such as TurboTax to file your tax return for guaranteed accuracy and access to check the status of your return. This service will provide you with the date your return was submitted, accepted by the IRS, and the expected date of your refund.
