How Often Is Where's My Refund Update?

Once the tax return is processed, Where's My Refund" will tell a taxpayer when their refund is approved and provide a date when they can expect to receive it. "Where's My Refund" is updated no more than once every 24 hours, usually overnight, so taxpayers don't need to check the status more often.

Does Where's my refund update everyday?

Note that the IRS only updates tax return statuses once a day during the week, usually between midnight and 6 a.m. They do not update the status more than once a day, so checking throughout the day will not give you a different result. Should I call the IRS to check my federal tax refund status?

What day of the week does IRS update refund status?

The IRS only updates your refund status information once per week on Wednesdays. If you e-file your tax return, wait at least 72 hours from the date the IRS confirms receipt of your return before checking your refund status, and at least three weeks if you mail the return instead.
