If you file your return electronically and you requested to receive a paper check this only adds a few extra days for processing. Now if you mailed your tax return and requested a paper check that processing time is about 6 weeks. Once the IRS accepts your tax return and processes it, it takes about 3 weeks to receive your refund.
