Where is my tax refund? Check status in Ohio; major change may affect 2026 refunds
Now that Tax Season is over, many Americans await their tax refunds. But big changes are coming to the way the Internal Revenue Service sends and receives taxpayer funds. An executive order signed by President Donald Trump requires the IRS to implement electronic payment options, effectively putting an end to paper checks, which the White House claims are 16 times more likely to be reported lost or stolen. The move to end the circulation of federal paper checks is effective Sept. 25. Next year's tax season might look different with the absence of paper checks, but there are other methods available to taxpayers. Do you use paper checks? Where is your refund? Here's what to know. If you already filed and are expecting a federal refund, it takes about 21 days to receive it from an e-filed return, and four weeks or more if mailed to the IRS. You can keep track of your federal refund through the IRS' "Where's my refund?" tool, the IRS2Go mobile app. You'll need to enter your filing status, social security or individual taxpayer ID number (ITIN), and exact refund amount. Ohioans who want to track state refunds can do so through the Department of Taxation's eServices Tool. It provides information for IT 1040 or SD 100 forms and is available for the current year and the past two years. The federal government will phase out paper checks for all disbursements, including tax refunds, starting in September 2025. The Trump administration claims that this is to reduce fraud, theft, costs, and delays, USA TODAY reports. Outside of the soon-to-be-ending paper checks, refund payment methods also include direct deposit (fastest), prepaid debit card, Mobile payment apps, or an existing IRA account.
