No one can tell you how long it will take the U.S. postal service to put it in your mailbox.

It will be mailed as first class mail--so the usual time for a piece of first class mail.  It does not have any sort of tracking number, so you just have to watch your mailbox for it.

For mailed returns, allow 5–6 weeks from the postmark date to receive your refund.  

Please see the TurboTax FAQ below for additional information:
