I chose to have my refund mailed to me instead of direct deposit and have a dependent. It said it was sent on the 26th how long do I have to wait to receive it?

According to the IRS, returns that are mailed via paper check takes approximately 6-8 weeks. Please take a look at the link below.

This timeframe is from the date the IRS receives your return.

[jonesta2018]

It was accepted on the 12 of feb. so does that mean I have at least two wks to wait

It would be roughly 6-8 weeks from that date. You may feel free to track your refund by using the link below.

Oh okay thanks! I thought they said it takes that long only if you mailed not electronically.

[jonesta2018]

I have all my mail forwarded to my po box. Will they still forward my refund check to my po box even though my head of household address is different and goes to my po box???

[jonesta2018]

@TurboTaxEbonyALO ?^

[EbonyA]

So you e-filed? If that is the case then your should receive it within 3 weeks after the IRS accepted it. The 6-8 weeks that I was referring to was if you mailed your return.

[EbonyA]

Give them a call at the number I provided to make sure that any concerns with the address are resolved.

[jonesta2018]

Yes I e filed. The 12th. But I read that usps will not forward any mail from irs and all of my
Mail is fwd to my po box. I’ll call

[EbonyA]

Yes...definitely give them a call.
