After you file

The IRS typically issues federal refunds within 21 days, for e-filed returns, and 6 weeks, for mailed returns.  The IRS suggests waiting at least 4 weeks after mailing your return before checking the refund status using the IRS Where's My Refund tool.  

If it's been longer than 6 weeks and you haven't received your return, we suggest contacting the IRS directly to inquire about the status of your refund.  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3302084
