Refund Status

What does my refund status mean?
There are 2 refund statuses: sent and rejected.
Sent - If your refund status is accepted, this means the IRS has processed your return and will be sending your refund
according to the timelines below:
If you e-filed your return and chose direct deposit, you can generally expect to receive your refund within 8-15 days.
If you e-filed, and chose to have your refund sent by check in the mail, you will get your refund check in the mail within 3
weeks.
H&R Block can't be held liable for the exact deposit date of your refund. Be sure to verify that your refund has been
deposited into your bank account prior to using these funds.
Rejected - If your refund status is rejected, this means the IRS is having difficulty getting your refund to you.
If you are a direct deposit customer, your bank may have rejected the electronic transfer for numerous reasons, such as an
inaccurate account number, account type, routing number, or other possible issues on your bank's end. When this happens,
H&R Block will receive notification from your bank that the direct deposit was rejected and issue a check by postal mail.
Allow 1 - 2 weeks for delivery of your refund check.
If you are a check-by-mail customer, you may have input your primary address incorrectly into H&R Block At Home™ resulting in your refund
check to be returned to the sender, causing the delay. You can contact the IRS Refund Hotline at (800) 829-1954 to resolve
this issue.
