After you file

The IRS doesn't send refunds once your refund has been approved... Approved is just stating the your Tax Refund is complete and correct. It usually takes them 4-5 days to issue your check, once your check is issued then then IRS update WMR to Refund sent. That's the day the IRS will send you your check direct deposit or by mail. What ever one you prefer. Now certain bank account will have you believe that you'll get your refund early but they dont tell you your two days starts when the check is sent not approved. Checks that are over $150 will usually take a couple of days to clear in your bank account with it most likely taking a 1-3 days to clear depending on your major bank institute, unless it's an H&R Block Emerald Card or a Jackson Hewitt Serve Card, with those cards your most likely 90% guaranteed to get your money on the day the IRS sends your refund......Hope this helps yous understand!!!!!
