Where's My Refund?
You get a tax refund when you pay more taxes than you owe.
An income tax refund is the result of too much tax withholding (estimated tax payments) by a taxpayer throughout a tax year.
Tax refund processing times vary and depend on the accuracy of the original return, but you'll get your refund more quickly if you file your return electronically. Most refunds are issued within 21 days of the return being received. However, the process may take up to 90 days.
