    direct deposit or check? DD takes maybe a week or a week and half depending on the dat submitted. paper, they say can take up to three weeks, but I did taxes for someone else who got their in less than two weeks. heavens...it just depends. wish i had a better answer, but that is how it it works = just depends on when it gets to IRS and how fast they process it.

    Eight to 15 days if you file electronically. That is calculated from the date the IRS accepts your return. The IRS has a schedule of dates that they pay out the refunds and they are normally on Fridays. If you are expecting a direct deposit it will be on time but if you requested a paper check then you have to wait for the mail to arrive.

    Depending on whether you e-filed or mailed in your tax return.

    For e-filing usually 8-15 days from the date IRS accepted your tax return. And if you mailed it then 4-6 weeks from the date IRS received your tax return.

    I mailed mine in on Feb 27th and requested the refund to be direct deposited into my checking account, and the refund was in my checking account today(Friday).
