By law the IRS must give your refund within 45 days. Any longer then they have to pay you interest.

I usually file electronically the first week of February and have my refund in less than 2 weeks. The IRS issues returns once a week. If you mail your return on April 15, it may take a month just to be entered into the IRS computers. Until that happens, they don't even know if you filed.
Judy mentioned "Instant Refund" loans. I thought they had to stop calling them that. I misled to many people.

Depends on when and how you file it. Electronic returns filed early - like January or February - usually come back in two weeks. If you mail it in it takes longer, like 6 weeks.

If you file electronically, you get it in about two weeks. If you file by mail, it takes around six weeks.
Some tax services will give you and "instant refund", but it's essentially a short-term loan, and they charge you a lot to do so.

around 6 weeks if mailing it and if filing electronicly then about 2 weeks unless you do an express filing at a tax business then you can get it in a day or two.

Depends on when and how many people file at the sametime.
Telephone and email are the fastest and you should get it in a week or under 2 weeks.
