By LIZ WESTON of NerdWallet There may never be a good time to draw the IRS' attention, but this year you really want to avoid extra scrutiny.
If you file electronically, you can begin tracking the status of your refund on the IRS site within 24 hours , says CPA Lei Han, associate professor of accounting at Niagara University in Niagara Falls, New York. If you file a paper return, tracking typically won't be available for four weeks, Han says.
If you invest outside a retirement account, beware: Brokerages are notorious for sending out"preliminary" 1099-B forms — which track investors' gains and losses — to meet the IRS mid-February deadline , and then sending corrected forms a month or so later. If you rely on the preliminary form, you may end up having to file an amended return , which would have to be manually processed and could delay your refund for months.
