When should my federal return come back?

The IRS releases most refunds within 21 days of the date that the IRS accepts the return.  (exception: the IRS did not begin processing e-filed returns until 1/29, so if you filed before then, it would be approx. 21 days from that date). See below for information on how to track your refund.

When should my federal return come back?

The IRS states that most refunds are received within 21 days from the time a return has been accepted and a refund option is selected. The IRS begin processing returns on January 29, 2018 and will hold the refunds claiming EITC and ACTC-related returns until Mid-February and deposited no later than February 27, 2018.
