👋 Where is my IRS Refund?
After your FIRPTA-related tax return has been filed, you can check the status of your refund directly with the IRS.
🔎 Check Your Refund Status Online
Go to:

(Official IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool — opens in a separate window)
🧾 Information You’ll Need
To check your refund status, enter:
-
Your SSN or ITIN
-
Your filing status (as shown on your tax return)
-
The exact refund amount requested
⏱️ Processing Timeframes
-
E-filed returns: Typically ~3 weeks
-
Paper-filed returns: Typically 1–3 months or longer
Processing times may vary depending on IRS backlog and case complexity.
⚠️ Important Notes
-
FIRPTA-related filings are often separate from standard tax returns — even for married individuals

Even after the IRS shows a refund as “issued,” it may take up to 30 days or more to receive the check
