"Where's My Refund?" tool updated

 The Rhode Island Division of Taxation's "Where's My Refund?" tool has been updated so you can now view your refund status in real time. 

The Division of Taxation has launched an updated version of the "Where's My Refund?" tool. It now provides detailed real-time information on the approval status of a refund, additional information a taxpayer might need to provide for their refund to be processed, and information on when they can expect their refund.

To access the updated "Where's My Refund?" tool, visit the Division of Taxation's website at https://tax.ri.gov, and select "Check Your Refund" which will bring you to the "Where's My Refund?" information page. Once there, select the "Check My Refund Status" button to access the tool.

Other ways to access the tool:

• Access the tool directly from it's new web address at https://taxportal.ri.gov/rptp/portal/home/wheresmyrefund/.
• Access the "Where's My Refund?" information page at https://tax.ri.gov/online-services/wheres-my-refund
• Access the tool through the website's "Online Services" menu's "Where's My Refund" option, available in the header on every page of the Division's website. 

 Please note: if you have previously bookmarked the Division's legacy "Where's My Refund?" tool at https://www.ri.gov/taxation/refund/, please update your bookmark as the tool will no longer be accessible at that address.
