Where's my 2023 tax return? Here's when you'll get your refund

The deadline for employers to give their employees their 2023 W2 was Jan. 31, so might've already filed your tax return by now.

If you did file, you might be wondering where your refund is. Here's everything we know.

When will I get my tax refund?

Taxpayers can expect a tax refund in less than 21 days of filing, if there were no errors on their return, according to the IRS.

For the status of your refund, use the "Where's My Refund?" tools for federal tax refunds or the resources available at Oklahoma's Taxpayer Access Point.

When are 2023 taxes due?

Tax returns for federal and Oklahoma state income taxes are due April 15.

To file for an extension, taxpayers can fill out Form 4868 by April 15, giving you six more months to complete your tax return.

Taxpayers can file a late return without an extension, but you may be charged a penalty for filing late if you owe taxes.

When will I get my tax refund if I claimed the child tax credit?

People who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit can expect their refund by Feb. 27 if they filed online, chose to get their refund by direct deposit and had no issues with their return.

The IRS is required by law to hold EITC and ACTC refunds before mid-February, including the entire refund, not just the credit claimed on the tax return.

If the IRS needs more information about your return, they'll send a letter.
