If i filed taxes electronically, how long before i receive a refund?

Question

I gave them my bank info so they could make a direct deposit instead of sending a check.

Answer 1

Direct deposit: within 10 to 14 days. Check by mail: three weeks, or longer depending on any prior issues that may be on your account.


www.irs.gov for status of refunds. You only need your S.S. #, filing status, and refund amount. Check with your state's website to see the status of that refund, if applicable.

Answer 2

Hi,
HRBlock did my returns on 2/27 and I received my Federal refund today 3/9. Had already received my CT State refund on 3/1.
I was told 10 to 14 days. Checks take alot longer to receive than the direct deposit way.

Answer 3

General rule is about 10-14 days after they accepted it. If it's Fed they say to allow three to four weeks but you should get it sooner unless u make a ton of money that they examine your return longer for deductions. States vary but three weeks is more than ample time. The earlier you file it seems that both Fed/State refund quicker than when the mass of documents received April.

Speaking of refunds, if there is any way you can tuck it away in CD or towards a Roth IRA do it... when you get in your 50's 60's you'll thank yourself for planning ahead. Because things u buy breaks down, gets used up and you have nothing to show for it in the end. But a 5 % or 10% yield on your refunds over your work life will make a difference in your future.

Answer 4

Here is the IRS efile direct deposit schedule:

The IRS always does direct deposits on Fridays according to this schedule, and you can actually receive a refund within a week, depending on your actual efile date. Remember when you check your status on the IRS site that they initially give you a Tuesday refund date, and then update to a Friday deposit date the week of your refund.

Answer 5

If your return was accepted before 11 am on Thursday, it should be deposited on Friday of the following week if no problems are found.

Answer 6

If you filed electronically, refund checks will be issued within three weeks after the acknowledgment date.
