How to Check a Refund Status in Ohio

1). Enter your Social Security number and your birth date into the Ohio Department of Revenue refund status check website (see Resources).
2). Change the dropdown menu option on the third line to "School Tax" if you want to check your School Tax refund rather than your income tax refund. Check the box if you amended your income tax return using either form IT-1040X or SD-100X. If not, continue to step 3.
3). Click "Submit" and your refund status will appear on the next page.
4). Call the Ohio Department of Revenue at 800-282-1780 to check the status of your refund over the phone rather than online.
