Last year they also said people shouldn't expect refunds till the 27 of February I got mine on the the 22nd with my approved message on the where's my refund tool on the 18th showing the 22nd as my deposit day they do that so impatient people aren't blowing up there phone lines 9/10 people get paid withing 21 days of there tax return being "accepted" and the irs takes that very seriously... for example you know how when you get/send mail they say 7-10 business even though it's there in 2-4 most of the time there giving thereself time (for mistakes, holidays, slow days, ect)..... expect your refund "The week of 27th" is what they actually say on the website (the 27th is a weekend btw) not the 27 and after... BTW the 18th is presidents day this year so don't get mad at me when you check on the 18th and go but he said last year the 18th, no!!! that was me and it wasn't a holiday everyones circumstances are different. If you efiled likeep me you will more than likely get a e-mail 1-2 days before telling you your refund is on its way. #BePatientItsComing
