After you file

Oh Lord.  I think it can be awhile.  I mailed in my son's tax return in February, wasn't amended, and he just got his refund today.  So it took 4 months roughly.  Oh wait.  That was his federal, which is sent to a CA address.

 

His state refund only took a couple of weeks.  They're usually quick & then if a problem will notify you months later.
