On its website, the IRS has posted a list of common refund myths (https://bit.ly/3FEnhoH). For example, if the online Where’s My Refund tool or automated hotline doesn’t specify when a refund will be approved, there’s no point in calling the IRS. The tax agency won’t have additional details yet. You’re advised to contact the IRS only if requested to do so. Also, don’t assume that Where’s My Refund is wrong if your refund amount is less than anticipated. If the IRS makes adjustments to a refund, it will send an explanatory letter. And, while most refunds are issued within 21 days, some take longer because the IRS needs additional information. If so, the agency will contact you.
