For taxpayers whose refunds have not yet arrived, the IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool is expected to undergo significant data updates from Wednesday, February 18 to Sunday, February 22.
This window is often used to resolve simple error codes and release holds on returns requiring identity verification. If your status has been stuck on “Received” for more than 21 days, this specific timeframe is when many taxpayers see the status bar advance to “Approved.” Daily checks during this window are highly recommended.
Disclaimer: Tax refund timing can be affected by various factors including errors, incomplete information, or suspected identity theft.
