To check the status of your electronically-filed return, just go to the link below:

Electronic Filing Status

You will see a screen similar to the image below:

To obtain your Electronic Filing Status:

Enter your Social Security Number AND your Federal Refund/Owed amount.
Click on the "Check E-File Status" button

This will return the status of your filed return.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you cannot find your return status:

You may be entering the wrong Refund/Owed amount.
- The Federal Refund/Owed Amount is required.
- Your state electronic filing status is also keyed off of the Federal Refund/Owed Amount.
You may be entering the wrong Social Security Number (SSN).
- The SSN entered should be the primary taxpayer SSN for the return (first SSN listed on the 1040). You cannot locate a return by the secondary taxpayer or a dependent.
- There may be a typo in the primary taxpayer's SSN. Please verify the information entered in Basic Information.
You may not have successfully completed the electronic filing process.
- You may have progressed as far as printing but have not actually submitted electronically.
- You may have unknowingly selected to paper file instead of electronically file. To successfully complete the electronic filing process, you must complete all steps and click the "Submit" button. If the submission was successful, you will see a screen indicating that your return was submitted.

If it has been more than 24 hours, you have not received an e-mail confirmation, and you do not see your return listed, your return has not been received by our e-file server. Repeat the electronic filing steps to submit your return. If you continue to have difficulties, we encourage you to contact Electronic Filing Support by selecting the link below:
