The IRS has posted a list of common refund myths on its website. For example, if the online Where’s My Refund tool or automated hotline doesn’t specify when a refund will be approved, there’s no point in calling the IRS. The tax agency won’t have additional details yet.
Also, don’t assume that Where’s My Refund is wrong if the refund amount is less than anticipated. The IRS may have adjusted your refund. If so, it will send you a letter explaining the adjustment.
While most refunds are issued within 21 days, some may take longer because the IRS requires additional information. If so, the agency will contact you.
