- If you mailed a check, mailing time plus opening, moving to banking area, prepare and finally post the check. It could be a week from the time you mailed it, or more.
- If you selected direct debit, the date you selected is the earliest the IRS can withdraw the money. It usually takes a few days after accepting your return for them to make the debit.
