To get to your personal refund information, be ready to enter your:

Social Security Number (or IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number)
Filing status (Single, Married Filing Joint Return, Married Filing Separate Return, Head of Household, or Qualifying Widow(er))
Exact refund amount shown on your return


That's it!

Answer 2

If you want to check the status of your refund, here is the link:
https://sa1.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp
They update that page every Wednesday so keep checking back for an actual direct deposit or mail date of your refund check.
