Returns filed and accepted by Thursday (early in the day) of one week have their refunds deposited on Friday of the following week. States have their own schedule. I got my state return in three days last year.

A larger return has more pages to it. I guess a tax preparer could submit a Form 1040 instead of 1040-EZ to make it "larger" but that won't make a dime's difference in your REFUND. A tax return is the forms and schedules that you file with the IRS. Any money that you get back when you file your return is called a REFUND. As to which way will put more money in your pocket, go with any free tax software, or grab the forms from the IRS website and do it the old-fashioned way, by hand. Your refund will the the same either way so you're $85 ahead by not paying for basic tax prep. The "creativity" of a true tax pro only kicks in when you have a complex tax situation. If you have questions like, "When should I sell my stocks to minimize the tax hit?" or "How should we handle this Net Operating Loss for the best tax benefit?" then a tax professional with extensive experience can be worth his or her weight in gold. Creativity on a simple return usually means disaster, such as a dishonest scam artist who probalby will have flown the coop by the time that the audit notice hits.

The software is irrelevant. When the IRS accepts the return (read it enters their computer system), the clock starts. If it is accepted by Thursday, the return is processed Friday of the next week. If you requested Direct Deposit, the bank is required by law to make the funds available the next day. If you requested a check in the mail, It will be postmarked the Friday it was processed. The post office will determine the actually date you receive the check.

I filed mine on their online site a few hours ago. It told me 10-16 days for the refund to be direct deposited into my account.
