Answer:

Within 24 hours of when an e-file return is filed, the status can be checked using the Where's My Refund Tool: https://www.irs.gov/refunds.

You can also check it with the Where's My Refund App: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs2goapp.

You will need your social security number or taxpayer identification number, tax filing status, and the exact amount of the refund claimed on your tax return.
