When to expect my taxes

No one can tell you when you'll receive your refund on an accepted return. What does the IRS website say? 

When to expect my taxes

The IRS says that most people who efile and choose direct deposit will get their refunds within 21 days.  But that leaves a significant number people whose processing takes longer for a number of reasons.    Two weeks is not a long time.

 

First, if you efiled, be sure your efiled return was accepted.   If using Online TurboTax, you can check at the Tax Home page.   Does it show as accepted, rejected, printed, started, ready to mail, or something else?

 

If that showed your return was accepted for processing, you can track your Federal refund at the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool.

The IRS normally uses 3 stages:

  • Return received and is being processed.
  • Refund approved.
  • Refund sent and an expected deposit date.
