Tax Tips: When Will I Get My Refund?

As soon as you hit “Send” on your tax return, are you asking “When Will I Get My Refund?” The IRS does need a little bit of time to process your return.

Chances are, if you e-filed and selected “direct deposit”, the IRS could send you your refund in as few as 10 days! If not, then most likely within 21 days. More than 9 times out of 10, taxpayers are issued their refunds in 21 days. So odds are high that your refund will be there soon.

There’s no need to call the IRS. If they need more information to process your tax return, they’ll contact you by mail. Something to keep in mind – the IRS does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email to ask for personal or financial information.

Now, if you’re trying to figure out the exact day you’ll get your refund, the best way to do that is to go to the IRS website and use the “Where’s My Refund?” tool. Or, if you have a smartphone, you can use the “IRS2GO” phone app to check on your refund.
