There are lots of reasons why your tax refund may be delayed. Get out your tax return and let's look at a few things.

Check your name, Social Security Number, and address. Any discrepancies, such as typos, will delay your refund.

If you have moved, your refund might have been returned to the IRS.

The best way to find out is to check the status of your refund using the IRS web site. Or you can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
