If you're looking to save some extra money or maybe pay off some debt, a tax refund could help. Here's how to track your tax refund.

The IRS “Where’s My Refund” tool lets you track the status of your money. Information is updated once a day, overnight – in other words, there’s no need to check multiple times a day. To find where your money is, you will need your Social Security or individual taxpayer ID number, filing status and exact amount of refund on your return.
