It should take the same amount of time as any other tax return. The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in the normal time frame: less than 21 days.
However, it’s possible that some tax returns may require further review and could take longer.
IRS representatives can research the status of your return only if:
- It's been more than 21 days since you received your e-file acceptance notification,
- It's been more than 6 weeks since you mailed your paper return, or
- The Where's My Refund? tool directs you to contact us.
