How does it take for refund to be deposited into my account after being approved?

[CassandraLO · Accepted solution]

Per the IRS it takes approximately 21 days after acceptance to receive your refund. There is no set time frame when the IRS will update from approved to refund sent. The IRS updates every 24 hours, so I would keep checking it should update soon.

Once Where's My Refund says "Approved" the IRS will update and state "refund sent" and a date. 

Once your refund is sent, it could take up to 5 days for it to be reflected in your bank account, it all depends on the bank, how and when funds are credited.
