How to Check on Your Refunds

Unfortunately, we have no other means of checking on your Federal or State refunds than you do as a taxpayer.

CPAs have no private access to your filed tax returns, so we offer you the
following links. These are the same websites we will use if asked to check on your
refunds.

For Federal refund status:

The IRS provides Where's My Refund. You will need the following information:

  • social security numbers of filers (you and your spouse if filing a joint return
  • filing status
  • amount of refund due to you

Where's My Refund has the latest information on your return. If you don't have internet  access, call the automated refund hotline at 800-829-1954 for the current year.

For GA Refund status:

Go to the Georgia Department of Revenue (Georgia Tax Center) and scroll down to Check my Refund Status. Be prepared to provide:

  • social security number
  • expected refund amount

For states other than Georgia, visit the Department of Revenue website for the specific state.
