A number of these myths circulate on social media every tax season. The IRS wants to dispel some common myths about getting refund details or speeding up tax refunds.
A number of these myths circulate on social media every tax season, according to the IRS.Myth 1: Calling the IRS or visiting an IRS office speeds up a refund
Many taxpayers mistakenly believe the commonly held myth that speaking with the IRS by phone or visiting in-person at an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center will expedite their tax refund. The best way to check the status of a refund is online through the "Where’s My Refund?" tool at IRS.gov or via the IRS2Go mobile app. Alternatively, those without internet access can reach "Where’s My Refund?" by calling the automated refund hotline at 800-829-1954.
Myth 2: Taxpayers need to wait for their 2020 return to be processed before filing their 2021 return, or that all refunds are delayed due to the number of 2020 returns the IRS still needs to process. The reality is that taxpayers generally will not need to wait for their 2020 return to be fully processed to file their 2021 tax returns. They should file when they’re ready. People with unprocessed 2020 tax returns, should enter $0 for last year's AGI on their 2021 tax return when electronically filing.Ordering a tax transcript will not inform taxpayers of the timing of their tax refund, nor will it speed up a refund being processed.
"Where’s My Refund?" can be used to check the status of a tax return within 24 hours after a taxpayer receives their e-file acceptance notification. The "Where’s My Refund?" tool is updated only once every 24 hours, usually overnight, so there’s no need to check the status more than once a day.
