irs.gov I would like to know when i can expect my tax return in the mail?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you mean when can you expect your tax refund in the mail? If so, go on the www.irs.gov website and look for "Where's my refund". That will tell you when you can expect to get your refund check, what you will need for information is, your filing status, taxpayer's social security number, and amount of your refund you expect to get back. If you want to get your refund faster in the future, you can always have it direct deposited.

Answer 2

Hi There,

I'm really confused about your question. The thing confusing me is are you talking about paper filed tax return through postal mail or tax refund. Let me tell you about both, thinking that you might be curious to know.

1. If you are expecting a return back from IRS:

If you have filed a return with IRS, it would never come back, until it's rejected. So if you are pretty sure that you have filed an incorrect return, then it would surely come back... ;)

2. If you are expecting for IRS refund:

IRS would never pay you back. Once the amount is given to IRS, it would always be adjusted in your overpayment credit and will carry forward to next year and when you pay the next year taxes, that amount will be deducted in the calculation of tax payments.

Hope this helps!

Let me know if you have any other thoughts or questions...!!

Answer 3

It shoud take 6-8 weeks to receive a refund in the mail if you file your return via mail, 3-4 weeks if you e-filed. If you are talking about receiving a paper copy of your return, I believe the irs website says 6 weeks.

If the website says your check has been mailed, give it about a week from the mailing date for the post office to deliver it.

Answer 4

Hello, Connie! If you mailed in your return, your refund should be mailed out within six weeks of the date the IRS receives your return. If you e-filed, the refund check should be issued within three weeks of the acknowledgment date. Just remember that once the IRS has sent your refund, from there it's up to the US Postal Service.

To verify that your retun was received, call the IRS at 1-800-829-4477 or visit the first link below to check your status online. Good luck! :-)

Answer 5

Call toll free at 1-800-829-4477 and go through the menu; it will tell you where your refund is in the system.
