    It can take 4-6 weeks to receive your check via mail. This is after the IRS accepts and approves your return. If your original check was returned to the IRS for some reason, it will take longer for the second check to be issued because they have to ensure the first check was not cashed.

    Per the IRS,

     

    COVID-19 Mail Processing Delays

    It’s taking us longer to process mailed documents including:

    • Paper tax returns, and
    • All tax return related correspondence.

    We are processing all mail in the order we received it.

    Do not file a second tax return or call the IRS.
