What?  Only the IRS determines when and if a federal tax refund is Approved and Issued.

After the tax return has been accepted by the IRS the status of the tax refund will be on the IRS website within 24 to 48 hours - https://www.irs.gov/refunds

 

The IRS will not be receiving a 2019 tax return until on and after January 27

Your tax return will not arrive at your house. Your tax return is the form you send to the government that shows your income and calculates your tax. The money you expect the government to send back to you is your refund. The government does not send your return to you. You send your return to the government. After you do that, the government sends your refund to you.


Nobody, including the IRS, can tell you the day that your tax refund will arrive at your house. There are many variables that can affect how long it takes to process your tax return and issue your refund. Go to the following link on the IRS web site for more information about factors that can affect when you get your refund.
