Looking for a refund?

If you haven't yet received your tax refund from the IRS and you have a moment to try and track it down, head to a new division of the IRS Web site called "Where's my refund?".

Supposedly, as long as you know your social security number or taxpayer ID number, your filing status and the exact amount of your refund, you should be able to trace your check if it hasn't arrived within 28 days of the original IRS mailing date. You should also know the approximate day you filed and how (paper, electronic, etc.) you filed your return, as these were follow-up questions when I tried it out.

In order to perform the check and change your mailing address or other information, if need be, you need to visit the site via a browser with 128-bit encryption and enable both cookies and JavaScript on your computer. Also, some of the tracing services aren't available at certain hours.

If you successfully trace your refund -- or if you provide all the correct information but the IRS still can't track it down -- let us know.
