to Know if Your Return Has Been Filed"},"content":{"rendered":"\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Millions of Americans use tax preparation software to do their taxes because it saves them time and money.\u00a0 To file with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eztaxreturn.com\/ezrouter.html?action=start_return&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=returnfiled&amp;gid=returnfiled\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ezTaxReturn<\/a>, you must complete all the steps in the filing process.\u00a0 This means answering a series of questions, downloading your returns, and continuing through the program to e-file.\u00a0 As soon as we receive word from the IRS (usually within 24-48 hours), we\u2019ll email you to let you know whether your return has been accepted or rejected.\u00a0 If it\u2019s been a while since you \u201cfiled\u201d and you haven\u2019t heard from us, there\u2019s a strong possibility that either you didn\u2019t complete the filing process, or our email is in your spam folder.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-check-your-return-status\"><strong>How to check your return status<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eztaxreturn.com\/ezrouter.html?action=start_return&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_term=returnfiled&amp;gid=returnfiled\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ezTaxReturn<\/a> customers can check on their return anytime by logging into their account.\u00a0 On your myAccount page, the return status will say one of the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Not yet started\/In progress<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Ready to efile<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Accepted<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Rejected<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the IRS has rejected your return, there\u2019s no need to panic.\u00a0 We\u2019ll tell you why it was rejected and provide detailed instructions for fixing the issue.\u00a0 You can correct and re-file your return free of charge.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t resubmit your return, you may have problems filing in the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once your return has been accepted, you can start tracking your refund.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-track-your-tax-refund\"><strong>Track your tax refund<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/refunds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Where\u2019s My Refund?<\/a>\u201d tool on IRS.gov is the best place to find answers regarding your refund.\u00a0 E-filers can start tracking their money 24 hours after filing.\u00a0 If you mailed a paper return, it may be 6 months or more before you can start checking your status due to the IRS backlog.\u00a0 To use the \u201cWhere\u2019s My Refund?\u201d tool, you\u2019ll need your Social Security number or ITIN, filing status and exact refund amount.\u00a0 The tracker goes through three phases:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Return received<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Refund approved<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Refund sent<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind, you won\u2019t be given a specific refund date until the IRS has processed your return and approved your refund.\u00a0 The tracker is updated daily, usually overnight so there\u2019s no need to check often.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex
