Unfortunately, no one can tell you that with any specificity. Only averages and estimates. Sometimes it's very quick, for others very long, depending on how much processing is required and if the IRS investigates anything.
The IRS says 9 out of 10 filers who efile and choose direct deposit will get their Federal refunds within 21 days after being accepted. Some returns are processed fairly quickly, while others require additional processing due to specific items in the return. Some are pulled at random for more thorough investigation.
