When should I expect my return

In general, the IRS says that returns with refunds are processed and payments issued within 21 days. However, for paper filers, this can take much longer.

  1. If you e-filed, start by checking your e-file status.
  2. Once you've received confirmation your federal return has been accepted, you'll be able to start tracking your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site.

Paper-filers: The IRS asks you wait 4 weeks after you mail your return before looking up your refund at Where's My Refund?
