Deductions & credits

Yes. The 21 days includes weekends. However, some refunds can take longer, specifically those with refundable tax credits. If you have Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, your refund could be delayed for additional processing. The PATH Act created extra due diligence by the IRS on returns claiming these credits. You can find additional information in the link below. You may also track your refund status with the IRS Where's My Refund tool.
