Your federal refund will typically be deposited on your card within 21 days after your e-filed return is accepted. If you print and mail your return, you should expect your federal refund in 6 to 8 weeks. To check the status of your federal tax refund, you can do one of the following: 1  Visit the IRS website at and select âWhereâs My Refund.â. 2  Call the IRS Refund Hotline at (800) 829-1954.
The fastest way to get your refund is by using direct deposit. Refund Sent means that your refund is on the way. If the IRS has sent your refund to your bank or other financial institution for direct deposit, it may take 1 â 5 days to deposit the funds into your account. If you requested a paper check, it could take several weeks for your check to arrive in the mail; the same time frame applies to debit cards.
