In this video, I explain how the IRS Where’s My Refund tool ACTUALLY works: Where to find the official tool What info you need to log in (and why “close enough” doesn’t work) When it updates (checking 10x/day is pointless) What the 3 status bars mean: Return Received / Refund Approved / Refund Sent What “still being processed” usually means (and when it’s time to call) The common Tax Topic messages (including 152/151) Key transcript transaction codes (150, 806, 846, 570, 971) What to do if your refund is reduced/offset Not tax advice.
