You might be wondering what the next steps are once you file your return with TaxSlayer. We’ve explained what happens when the IRS receives your return and how to keep track of your refund below.
1. File
After you submit your return with TaxSlayer, we time stamp your return and electronically send it to the IRS.
2. Review
Then, the IRS reviews your return to check your personal information and to see if you claimed any tax breaks that require further review, which can take up to 48 hours.
3. Accept/Reject
If your information matches IRS records, your return should be accepted.
If your information does not match IRS records, your return may be rejected. If this happens, you can make corrections in your TaxSlayer account and resubmit your return.
4. Refund
If you’re due a refund, you should receive it within 21 days or less once your return is accepted. You can use this IRS tool to check the status of your refund.
