It turns out that there is no set time schedule for when refunds have to be given to people who file taxes (and who qualify). This is probably not the answer that you wanted. at the present time, the IRS does not want to be contacted about refunds and warns against filing another return. The IRS was shut down for several months and now has millions of returns to process. They will pay you interest on your delayed refund which will probably come in a separate check.
