If none of the answers suffice, the only way to know the exact delay would be to contact the IRS directly.
To call the IRS: 800-829-1040 hours 7 AM - 7 PM local time Monday-Friday
- Listen to each menu before making the selection.
- First choose your language. Press 1 for English.
- Then do NOT choose the first choice re: "Refund", or it will send you to an automated phone line.
- Instead, press 2 for "personal income tax".
- Then press 1 for "form, tax history, or payment".
- Then press 3 "for all other questions."
- Then press 2 "for all other questions." It should then transfer you to an agent.
