Tax season is underway. The IRS has debuted a new online tool to help taxpayers check the status of any refund they may be entitled to.

Visit the tracker page on the IRS website and click the Check your refund button. Once directed to the Refund Status page, enter your details and click Submit. You should be directed to your refund status. Note that it takes 24 hours after you e-file your return or four weeks after you file a paper tax return for your status to appear.

If you're as impatient as we are, you'll want to know how soon your tax refund check will hit your bank account. Here's how to do that in Kentucky.
