  • Track your paper refund check from the IRS to your mailbox with this one easy tool.

The article from CNET outlines the simplest methods for tracking a paper tax refund check from the IRS. It explains that while the IRS does not provide a direct tracking service for paper checks, taxpayers can use the IRS's "Where's My Refund?" tool online or the IRS2Go mobile app to check the status of their refund. These tools require personal information like your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, your filing status, and the exact refund amount. The article notes that these tools will indicate if the refund has been processed, approved, or sent, but they won't specify if it's a paper check or direct deposit. For those expecting a paper check, it suggests waiting at least four weeks after filing before contacting the IRS for further assistance, as checks can take longer to process and mail. Additionally, it advises checking with your bank or the post office if there are any issues with the delivery of the check.
