Actually, the money goes on the card when the IRS (or state) actually issues your refund. The IRS goal is 21 days. And, State refund times vary.
However, last year, 9 out of 10 e-filers received their IRS tax refund in less than 21 days, and we expect the same this year.
- If you e-filed, start by checking your e-file status. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
- Once you've received confirmation your federal return has been accepted, you'll be able to start tracking your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site..https://www.irs.gov/refunds
Paper-filers: The IRS asks you wait 4 weeks after you mail your return before looking up your refund at Where's My Refund? https://www.irs.gov/refunds
