While the Internal Revenue Service began accepting returns late last month, it still might be too early to expect a refund in your bank account. Luckily, you can track the status of your refund through the IRS’s “Where’s My Refund” tool.

If you have already filed your income taxes this year, you may be wondering when you’ll receive your refund. Last week, the Internal Revenue Service began accepting returns, and refunds are starting to be processed.

A tax refund is a reimbursement to taxpayers who have overpaid their income taxes, and so the government sends the money back. If taxpayers receive a large refund, they may well be having too much withheld from their paychecks by employers.
