The IRS releases most refunds within 21 calendar days after the e-file has been accepted (received), not 21 days from the e-filing date. Wait 24 hours after your federal return has been accepted before looking it up at Where's My Refund? 

If Where's My Refund states that the funds have been deposited and you have not received them into your designated account, contact an IRS customer service representative to correct any agency errors by calling 800-829-1040 (toll-free) Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., local time (8 a.m. to 8 p.m. in Puerto Rico, local time). Unfortunately, this may result in you receiving a paper check.
