When will my returns be direct deposited?

Check the IRS Where's My Refund? site to see if your refund was approved and if there is an estimated deposit date listed.

 

It generally takes the IRS 21 days to issue refunds.  If it's been more than 21 days since your return was accepted, we suggest contacting the IRS directly to inquire about your refund. Go here for tips on reaching a live IRS agent when you call.

 

Keep in mind, "It takes additional time for refunds to be processed after leaving the IRS, and for financial institutions to accept and deposit them to bank accounts and products like debit cards. Also, many financial institutions do not process payments on weekends or holidays, which can affect when refunds reach taxpayers. "  Reference:  IRS.gov - Refund Timing
