IRS Says Tax Refunds Should Take Three Weeks
(Washington, DC) -- Today is tax day and the IRS says most taxpayers should be seeing their refund about three weeks after filing. If you didn't opt for direct deposit, and instead filed on paper or are waiting for a check, it could a take a bit longer. The IRS "Where's My Refund" tool allows taxpayers to check the status of their refund. It becomes available a day after filing a digital current-year return, three to four days after filing a digital prior-year return, and four weeks after filing a paper return.
