There's no way to know exactly when you will get your refund. There are many variables that can affect how long it takes to process your tax return and issue your refund. The IRS says that they pay 9 out of 10 refunds within three weeks. Yours could be the one out of 10 that takes longer. If you are getting the Earned Income Credit (EIC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit the earliest you can get your refund is the first week of March. Go to the following link on the IRS web site for more information about the factors that can affect when you get your refund, and a link to check the status of your refund.
