If Taxes were owed: It shouldn't take more than 7-10 days past the payment date specified for the funds to be withdrawn. If your payment has not been processed, you will need to call IRS e-file Payment Services at 1-888-353-4537.

However, if you're expecting a refund: The IRS states that most refunds are received within 21 days from the time a return has been accepted and a refund option is selected. The IRS will hold the refunds claiming EITC and ACTC- related returns until Mid-February.

If your Federal return has been accepted please, wait 24 hours before looking it up at Where's My Refund? Sometimes it may take a little longer to show up in their system.
