After you file

IRS will gladly pay interest on your money.  Actually it is automatic, even thought it might come in a separate check.

 

A long-standing law requires the IRS to pay interest to those who received their tax refunds late — notably 45 days after the typical filing date of April 15.  The interest refund checks aren't necessarily a big windfall of money in your pocket, but you can still make the most of the extra cash.
