The IRS Where’s My Refund? tool will not give you a date until your tax return is received, processed, and your tax refund is approved by the IRS.

The time it takes the IRS to process your tax refund is based on how you chose to file your tax return – either e-file or by mail.

- E-filed tax returns with direct deposit:
E-file with direct deposit is the fastest way to get your federal tax refund. Typically, the IRS expects to issue nine out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days after acceptance if there are no issues. - Mailed paper returns: Avoiding a paper return is more important than ever to avoid refund delays this year. The IRS cautions if you need your refund quickly do not file on paper. Due to COVID-19, the IRS still expects further delays for paper returns. Usually the IRS says to allow 4 weeks before checking the status of your refund, and that refund processing can take 6 to 8 weeks from the date the IRS receives your return, but paper returns are taking even longer.
