You can check the status of your refund in as little as 24 hours after the IRS receives your payment.
The IRS is open Monday through Friday, 8 am to midnight ET. If you wait for a check to clear before contacting them, it will be an additional 24 hours until they have time to get back to you.
The IRS processes payments within 24 hours of receipt.
The IRS processes payments within 24 hours of receipt.
The IRS can process payments within 24 hours of receipt, depending on the price. For example, if you filed your return electronically and had an ACH debit from your bank account, you could expect your refund in just 4-6 weeks (depending on where you live). If you filed a paper and paid with a check or money order, it may take longer for the money to clear through our system and any additional processing time needed by other banks involved in processing this transaction.
If you bought most items with a credit card, you should receive your refund in 5-6 weeks.
If you bought most items with a credit card, you should receive your refund in 5-6 weeks.
If you bought most items with a debit card or used your employer or other benefits to pay for stuff, it could take longer: up to 8 weeks. This is because the IRS has to process all of those transactions and do some research before sending out any money.
The sooner you file, the sooner you’ll get your money.
If you want your money faster, there are three ways to do it:
New Yorkers owe the IRS over $30 billion in unpaid taxes yearly!
The IRS is a government agency that collects unpaid taxes from all of us. They do this by sending out tax refunds, but they also can help you with other issues related to your taxes. You can call the number on their website or write them a letter if you have questions about how long it will take to process your request, what forms are needed and where they can be found online.
The IRS has offices in every state, which means it can help people all over America! If you live outside of New York City and need assistance with filing an individual return or filing Form 1040A (which covers individuals who aren’t required by law), then consider contacting one of these offices instead:
Getting them as soon as possible is essential if you owe them money.

If you’re like most people who have just recently filed their taxes and are waiting for the refund, this is one of the first things that comes up when you Google “how long does it take for a tax refund.”
Section: If you had a bad year, the IRS is here to help.
Takeaway: If you need help paying, they’ll be happy to help!
Section: The IRS will work with you if you need to pay more than your tax bill.
Takeaway: You can always contact them and arrange payment plans.
Section: The most common reasons people file for bankruptcy are not having enough money or getting into debt. You don’t want either of those things to happen to you!
Takeaway: Don’t let the IRS make your life harder than it needs to be by taking too much from you. File early and often!
Section: The IRS can withhold up to 30% of your refund if they think you owe them money. This is called an “underpayment,” and it happens every day across the country. It’s also why we’re all so angry about this program!
Takeaway: When filing for a tax return, do yourself a favor and check your underpayment status before handing over any more money until you’ve gone through the process entirely. Indeed even our worst enemy only gets audited sometimes every year!!
