Where's My Refund?
To estimate your tax refund date, find the date you filed your taxes using the information below. Then, follow the corresponding timeline. Most e-filed returns are processed within 21 days, but this can vary based on filing method, accuracy, and whether you chose direct deposit or a mailed check. Delays may occur if your return requires additional review.
