Once your tax return is accepted, they will process it, and any assessed refund shall be sent or credited to your bank account. That means from 23rd January 2023, if you digitally file the tax return, the IRS system will start processing the tax return. In other words, the faster you file the tax return, the faster the refund will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tax_Refund_Date_Estimator\"><\/span>Tax Refund Date Estimator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This online tool for estimating processing and refund credit dates is based on past estimated data.

The earlier you file, the earlier you get a refund. If you claim certain types of credits, for example, Child Tax Credit, your tax refund will be a bit late because the IRS scrutinizes those credit claims by taxpayers. Here&#8217;s a list of reasons the IRS may delay your tax refund might be delayed:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Your tax return has errors or is incomplete.<\/li><li>IRS suspects identity theft or fraud concerning your refund claim.<\/li><li>You <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irstaxapp.com\/earned-income-tax-credit-calculator\/\">claimed earned income tax credit<\/a> or additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irstaxapp.com\/2022-child-tax-credit-calculator\/\">child tax credit<\/a>.<\/li><li>IRS selects your tax return for further review.<\/li><li>Your return includes\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/f8379.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Form 8379<\/a>\u00a0(PDF), injured spouse allocation &#8212; this could take up to 14 weeks to process.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IRS_tool_Wheres_My_Refund\"><\/span>IRS tool <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irstaxapp.com\/wheres-my-refund-3-ways-to-know\/\">Where\u2019s My Refund?<\/a><\/em><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days. IRS also provides an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/refunds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online tool<\/a>, <strong><em>Where\u2019s My Refund?<\/em><\/strong>, to check the status of your refund.
