After you file

Actually,  the money goes on the card when the IRS (or state) actually issues your refund. The IRS goal is 21 days. And,  State refund times vary.

However, last year, 9 out of 10 e-filers received their IRS tax refund in less than 21 days, and we expect the same this year.

  1. If you e-filed, start by checking your e-file status. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/
  2. Once you've received confirmation your federal return has been accepted, you'll be able to start tracking your refund at the IRS Where's My Refund? site..https://www.irs.gov/refunds

Paper-filers: The IRS asks you wait 4 weeks after you mail your return before looking up your refund at Where's My Refund? https://www.irs.gov/refunds
