How long does it take to get my tax refund from the government?

Question

The government owes me about $400, my accountant mailed my taxes for me about a week ago, when should I expect to get the check in the mail?

Answer 1

you file a complete and accurate tax return and you are due a refund, your refund will be issued within six weeks from the date we receive your return. If you filed electronically, refund checks will be issued within three weeks after the acknowledgment date. Refunds from amended returns will be issued within 8–12 weeks. Injured spouse claims can take longer, depending on the circumstances. Refer to Topic 203 for more information concerning Injured Spouse Claims.

To check the progress of your current year refund, go to www.irs.gov "Where's My Refund" or call the Refund Hotline at (800) 829–1954. Please allow 4 weeks after you mail your return before calling this automated system. When you call, you will need to provide your Social Security number, your filing status, and the exact whole dollar amount of the refund shown on your return.
