After you file

No...as already stated....the date was just a verrrrrrrrry CRUDE estimate.....the "refund" occasionally can come earlier...or even 1-2- 3-4 weeks later.

 

The IRS may even randomly pull your file for a closer examination, and ask more questions in a letter sent to you.  That can delay it further.
