After you file

If they are sending a direct deposit the average time is 8-21 days.  For checks in the mail the typical time frame is 3-6 weeks.  The IRS is the best source for the exact timing but I imagine you don't want to be on hold another hour! 

 

However, the IRS is not operating with full staff currently so many things are taking longer than the typical times we are used to.
