Check on your Refund #IRS #IRSRefund

From the impact of #COVID19 on our daily lives, keeping up with an IRS refund is a must. 

The IRS maintains a Where's my Refund Tool that allows taxpayers to track and verify that its headed to the intended destination. 


Taxpayers will need three things to use the tool:
  • Their Social Security number
  • Their tax filing status
  • The exact amount of the refund claimed on their tax return
Once the taxpayer enters that information the tool will display the progress of their tax return through the following stages:
  • Return received
  • Return approved
  • Refund sent

Great information to keep handy as your go through the return process.

Your COVID-19 Relief Check is in the Mail! (Well, maybe. It depends.........)

President Trump signed the massive coronavirus relief bill last week. Money will be distributed to the public by the IRS. So will the IRS offset what I owe against the check? What about my spouse? Here are some specific takeaways that you need to know now, and take appropriate action: 1. The government is using the IRS to distribute the checks only. They will not offset any IRS debts against the checks as this is not an IRS matter. The government is just using their infrastructure. 2. However, the only exception to this rule is child support obligations. If you owe back child support, it will come out of the check. This is the only exception at this time. 3.
