make sure that your tax return has been accepted by the IRS.

sign in you will see the status of your return. If you need further information
from the status page, click Open My Return .Once you are back in
your return look at the Check Status message in the upper right
corner.Your return is either:
- Waiting
- Rejected, or

If your return is Rejected, you can fix your return and efile until

Tax Refund Status
- How your refund is released by the IRS depends on which refund method you selected
when filing your return.
- If you selected the IRS direct bank deposit refund option, your
tax refund will be transferred from the IRS to your bank; the bank you entered during
your tax preparation on eFile.
- If you selected to pay your tax preparation fee with your tax refund (DFFR:
Deduct Fee From Refund) your expected tax refund will be transferred from
the IRS to the eFile partner bank: Republic Bank Tax Refund Solution. The Republic
Bank will transfer your refund minus the tax preparation fee (for Premium service)
to the bank you entered during the tax interview. Between the Republic Bank and
your bank a bank transfer fee of $19.95 will be charged for this transfer. This
fee is not charged by eFile and is automatically deducted from your expected tax
refund.
Note: If you contacted the IRS and they informed you that your refund was transferred
to a bank or a bank routing number different than the routing number of your bank,
don't worry; the IRS and eFile are not a bank, thus the Republic Bank was instructed
(with a unique routing number) to transfer your tax refund to your bank.
- If you selected the IRS check through the mail
refund option please call 1-800-829-1954 to get a tax refund status update.
