Because tax rules change from year to year, your tax refund might change even if your salary and deductions don’t change. In other words, you might get different results for the 2019 tax year than you did for 2018.

When to check the status of your tax refund?
You can check the status of your refund within 24 hours after the IRS notifies you that it has received your e-filed tax return (or four weeks after mailing your paper return, if you’re old school). In a given tax year, you may want to know how big your refund will be so you can plan what to do with it.
When is the earliest you can get a tax refund?
The IRS is not even providing an estimate for how long. One tangential thing to remember is that the IRS does not accept tax returns before a certain date. The earliest you could file a 2020 tax return was Jan. 27, 2020. So the earliest date anyone could expect to get a refund this year was Feb. 17.
Is there going to be another tax refund scare?
Boost your withholding, and you’ll have too much tax taken out of your checks — and that’ll come back to you at tax time. With few major tax changes this year, it’s unlikely there’ll be a repeat of the tax refund scare that taxpayers dealt with last year.
What’s the difference between refundable and nonrefundable taxes?
Refundable tax credits go into your tax refund if they exceed what you owe. By contrast, some tax credits are nonrefundable, which means they have the power to reduce your tax liability down to zero but can’t be refunded to you if they exceed your liability.
