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 best and fastest way to get your tax refund is to have it electronically deposited for free into your financial account. The IRS program is called direct deposit. You can use it to deposit your refund into one, two or even three accounts. Eight out of 10 taxpayers get their refunds by using Direct Deposit. It is simple, safe and secure. This is the same electronic transfer system used to deposit nearly 98 percent of all Social Security and Veterans Affairs benefits into millions of accounts. Combining direct deposit with IRS e-File is the fastest way to receive your refund. IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days. You can track your refund using our Whereâs My Refund? tool. Direct deposit is easy to use.
