April and refunds: what many Latinos don’t know

With the arrival of April, the focus changes. It is no longer just about filing, but about what comes next: refunds. 

Within the Latino community, more taxpayers are paying close attention to when they will receive their money, especially in a year where processing times may vary depending on each case. 

At this point in the tax season, questions begin to arise such as: 
• Has my return already been processed? 
• When will I receive my refund? 
• Why is there still no information available? 

Where can you check your refund? 

The IRS has an official tool to verify the status of your refund: 

https://sa.www4.irs.gov/wmr/es/refund_status 

Through this website you can: 
• Confirm if your return was received 
• See if it is being processed 
• Check when your refund was sent 

The only thing you need to know the status of your return and refund is to have the following information on hand: your Social Security Number or ITIN, the year you want to check, your filing status, and the refund amount you are expecting. 

An important detail that many people are not aware of. During the waiting process, there is something that causes confusion: the IRS no longer sends most refunds by check. 

Currently: most refunds are issued through direct deposit. 

Checks are less common and usually apply in specific cases, generally when the amount is $10,000 or more than $10,000. 

April does not only mark the end of the season… 
it is also the moment when many people begin to understand how the refund process really works. 

And having the right information at this point can make all the difference. At Toro Taxes, guidance is provided throughout the entire process, offering clear support in Spanish.
