How to Check your 2021 Tax Refund Status

You’ll need to know the tax filing status that you used when you filed, as well as the expected amount of the tax refund.
Federal Refund Status
To get to your refund status, you’ll need to provide the following information as shown on your return:
✔️ Your Social Security Number or IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
✔️ Your Filing Status- single, married filing a joint return, married filing separate return, head of household, or qualifying widow(er)
✔️ The Refund amount – It is important to enter the refund amount exactly as it is shown on your return in order for our computer system to retrieve your data

I’ve been looking forward to my 2019 tax refund for a while now. I currently work as an accountant and I know that we do taxes for a lot of other small businesses. We tell them the amount of their potential refund and if they can expect it soon or not.
It’s always hard to see people become disappointed and realizing that the wait is going to be a little longer than expected. That’s not what happened with me though; I was surprised when I found out how much my refund was going to be! I was expecting it to be my standard $3,000, but my total refund ended up being $5,000.
I was so surprised! My friends all told me they were happy for me and knew that they would most likely get the same amount of money back if they got their taxes done by me too. They said that they’ve never heard of their accountant giving them $3,000 back!
I can’t wait to get the money in my bank account so I can finally do some Christmas shopping early this year instead of waiting for the very last minute.
