Want to check your return status?

How quickly you receive your tax refund depends on when you file, how you file, how you choose to receive your refund, and whether you claim certain credits and deductions.

Most refunds are funded within 21 days of filing, according to the IRS. That clock starts after the IRS begins processing tax returns for the year.

Please note that due to tax laws in place to reduce fraudulent claims for refunds, taxpayers who claim the EITC or similar credits may not receive a credit or refund until at least mid-February for the prior year tax return.

Yes.  You may receive your refund as early as the same day it was sent by the IRS – up to two days earlier than standard direct deposit – if you chose to have it loaded onto an American Express Serve^® card.

If you chose direct deposit, your tax refund will be sent to your bank the same day the IRS sends your tax refund. It will typically take 3-5 days for your bank to process, depending on your bank.
