What's the website to check if refund has been deposited/fees deducted?

You're likely looking for the IRS 'Where's My Refund' tool. Have you tried accessing that through the official IRS website? What specific information were you hoping to find about the fees being deducted?

Think of your tax refund like a package delivery - Where's My Refund is like the tracking number that tells you where it is, but not what's inside the box. If you filed with a preparer like H&R Block or TurboTax and chose to pay fees from your refund, you need to log into THEIR portal to see fee deductions. And you need to check NOW because the tax tsunami is about to hit and all these sites will crash from traffic!

Be cautious with the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) portal some are suggesting. It's specifically for checking if government agencies have claimed part of your refund for outstanding debts. It's NOT for tax preparation fees. I've seen multiple users misinterpret this and get unnecessarily worried about refund amounts. The TOP portal requires personal verification that may expose sensitive information unnecessarily if you don't actually have offsets.

For tracking your refund status, the IRS offers the Where's My Refund tool at irs.gov/refunds. However, this doesn't display fee deductions. If you're experiencing difficulty reaching the IRS to clarify this, Claimyr.com (https://claimyr.com) can help you connect with an IRS agent in approximately 15 minutes instead of the typical 2-3 hour hold times. I was facing a similar issue with fee discrepancies on my refund of $3,742 and needed clarification on which fees were legitimate versus potential errors. The agent was able to provide a complete breakdown of all deductions.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the different options for checking your refund status! There are actually multiple ways: • Where's My Refund (WMR) - Shows basic processing status • IRS2Go mobile app - Same info as WMR but on your phone • Online Account at IRS.gov - More detailed tax account information • Tax transcript - Shows all transactions on your account None of these show preparer fees though - that's between you and your tax preparer!

I think I might know what you're referring to. If you filed through a service like TurboTax or H&R Block and chose to have your preparation fees taken out of your refund (sometimes called a Refund Transfer or RT), then you would possibly need to check your tax preparer's website, not the IRS website. For example, if you used TurboTax, you might need to log into your TurboTax account to see the status of your refund including any fees that were deducted before the remainder was deposited to your account.

Sounds like ur looking for the BFS (Bureau of Fiscal Service) offset checker maybe? That's where u can see if govt took $ from ur refund for old debts. Go to fiscal.treasury.gov and look for TOP (Treasury Offset Program). It won't show prep fees tho - that's diff. BTW the phone # is 800-304-3107 if u don't wanna use the website.

To check your refund status with the IRS: 1. Go to IRS.gov/refunds 2. Click on the "Where's My Refund" tool 3. Enter your SSN, filing status, and exact refund amount 4. The system will show if your return is received, approved, or sent However, this doesn't show fees deducted by tax preparers. For that information: 1. Log into your tax preparer's website (TurboTax, H&R Block, etc.) 2. Look for "Refund Status" or "Order Details" 3. Check your bank account for the final deposit amount Hope this helps!

As of April 12, 2024, the IRS Where's My Refund tool is still the official way to check your refund status. If you filed on March 1st or earlier, you should see your refund information there. However, if you're looking for information about fees being deducted, that depends on how you filed. On February 15th, I learned that if you paid your tax preparer using your refund, the IRS doesn't track those fees - your preparer does. The IRS only shows the full refund amount they issued.
