How long can it take to get the tax refund after getting the prepaid debit card

If your return was accepted less than 21 days ago, hang in there. It can take anywhere from a few days to 3 weeks to go from acceptance to approval. This timeframe is unrelated to how, where, or when you filed and isn't connected to how quickly you got your refund last year. Please click here for more information.

How long can it take to get the tax refund after getting the prepaid debit card

No money goes on any cards until the IRS actually issues the refund.   The IRS is seriously backlogged due to all the new tax laws and extra stimulus filings, as well as unprocessed 2019 returns left over from the COVID shutdown.  Lots of other folks are still waiting, so please continue to be patient.
