How can I check to see if my income tax return is in process?

The “Where’s My Refund?” tool on the IRS.gov site is the best way to track your income tax return. States with an income tax usually have a similar tool as well, which can be found on your state’s official government website for revenue or taxation.

You’ll need your Social Security Number and some additional information from the tax return you filed to prove your identity when you use online tracking tools.
