Checking on your federal income tax return is the process of verifying the accuracy of the information you submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and determining the amount of refund you are due or the amount of tax you owe.
Checking your tax return is important because it ensures that you have filed correctly and that you are receiving the correct refund or paying the correct amount of tax. It also helps you identify any errors that may have been made in the preparation of your return and allows you to correct them before the IRS begins its audit process.
