When does the IRS send me my refund in my bank

They begin receiving tax returns on January 29 this filing season. 

The estimated 21-day period to receive a refund is calculated from the date the E-File is successfully submitted to the IRS so the soonest that refunds will likely go out is around February 19. However, by law, the IRS cannot issue refunds claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February.

The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting on Feb. 27, 2018, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return.

For more information please refer to the IRS Website: 2018 Tax Filing Season Begins Jan. 29, Tax Returns Due April 17; Help Available for Taxpayers 

To track your Federal refund, see Where’s My Federal Refund? You may begin tracking at this link once you receive confirmation that your federal return has been received.
