Are you eagerly awaiting your tax refund? Wondering when it will arrive? Fortunately, you can easily track your refund status using the state and federal refund tracking systems. Here’s what you need to do.
To check your Michigan tax refund status, visit the state treasury department’s refund tracker or search for “Michigan” and “Where’s My Refund?” in your browser to access the portal. To obtain information about your refund, you must provide your last name, Social Security number, tax year, adjusted gross income or total household resources, and filing status. If you filed your returns electronically, wait two weeks after receiving confirmation of your e-filed state return before checking your refund status. For paper returns, you can start studying after six weeks.
Use the IRS’ “Where’s My Refund?” tool to check your federal tax refund status. You can check your refund status 24 hours after filing a current-year return electronically or four weeks after filing a paper return. You must provide your Social Security number, taxpayer ID, filing status, and return amount. The tool is updated once a day.
According to the IRS, refunds for e-filed returns arrive within 21 days. However, amended or paper returns sent by conventional mail may take four weeks or more, while returns requiring corrections or extra review may take a little longer. It’s worth noting that the “Where’s My Refund?” tool has had its fair share of criticism in the past, but more money has been invested in improving it after Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act.
So, while the Super Bowl might be the main event for some, tracking their status is a top priority for those eagerly awaiting their tax refunds. Follow these simple steps to keep tabs on your refund status easily.
