Refund Processing
Time varies depending on how you filed.
• E-filed tax returns with direct deposit – e-file with direct deposit is the fastest way to get your federal tax refund.
The IRS states that 9 out of 10 e-filed tax returns with direct deposit will be
processed within 21 days of IRS e-file acceptance.
• Mailed paper returns – Refund processing
time is 6 to 8 weeks from the date the IRS receives your tax return.
It
will take a few days even if the IRS states a refund has been sent to your
bank.
Please
see this from an IRS FAQ:
What is happening when Where’s My Refund? shows my refund’s status as approved?
We’ve
approved your refund. We are preparing to send your refund to your bank or
directly to you in the mail. This status will tell you when we will send the
refund to your bank (if you selected the direct deposit option). Please wait 5
days after we’ve sent the refund to check with your bank about your refund,
since banks vary in how and when they credit funds. (It could take several
weeks before you receive a mailed refund check.)
