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

jonesta2018 · ‎June 6, 2019

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???

@TurboTaxEbonyALO ?^

EbonyA · ‎June 6, 2019

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.
