- 2). Click "Where's My Refund?" in the middle of the page. The next page directs you to enter your Social Security number, filing status and exact dollar amount of the return you are anticipating.
- 3). Read the next page to find out the status of your return. If the IRS has accepted your return, the page will also contain information about when you can expect your return. A mailing date will be listed if you requested a paper check. If you asked for a direct deposit, the anticipated date of the deposit will display.
