Have you done your taxes yet? I am planning on doing mine this weekend and like many people as soon as I finish, I like knowing when my refund check is going to be deposited.
The quickest way to get your refund
It is probably common knowledge that you will get your tax refund quicker when you choose the direct deposit option. You also should eFile your tax return if possible and as I mentioned in a post I did about getting free state tax filing you should submit it before Friday, since they only process the eFiled returns once a week. Of course, if you don’t really care when you get your refund, take your good old time.
So when will you get your refund check?
1. If you eFiled, check the status to be sure that it was accepted by the IRS.
2. You can also check the status of your tax refund on the IRS website. This should tell you when you will be receiving your check. Although, it is good to keep in mind that the IRS doesn’t guarantee any dates, they are all approximations.
Approximate tax refund schedule
Assuming you filed your taxes properly, the below schedule should give you a good estimate of when you can expect to receive your paper check from the IRS or the money in your account if you chose the direct deposit option.
