How long does it take for federal return to be deposited into my bank account?

[ChelsiE2 · Accepted solution]

90% of taxpayers receive their direct deposit refunds within 21 days of their return being accepted by the IRS.

usually it did take 21 days but not this year, taking much longer for me, how about anyone else

@kathy726 Many taxpayers are reporting refund delays. The IRS is running behind this year. It's sending out the third stimulus checks every week while also processing refunds.

Many returns have mistakes, with taxpayers reporting the wrong amount of stimulus checks. The IRS is correcting those returns but that is delaying refunds of affected taxpayers.
