After the IRS has approved and sent my refund, how long does it take to deposit into my account?

It can take up to 5 days before the deposit will show on your bank account.

Awesome, I appreciate the fast response! I guess I should have read the full details... I was thinking 21 days after it was sent. Thank you for the response.
