If you’re like many taxpayers, the burning question on your mind is how you can get your tax refund as quickly as possible. The fastest way to get your refund coming to you is by filing electronically and arranging for direct deposit of what the IRS owes you. If you’ve done that and still haven’t gotten what you expected, you can check your refund status using several tools from the IRS, including the IRS Refund Hotline and the Where’s My Refund online website.
