1 Choose to have your refund direct deposited into your bank account or deposited on to an H&R Block Emerald Card. 2  If the IRS mails you a check, it could take up to 10 days to receive a check through the mail.
If you paper file, it will take three to four weeks for the IRS to process the return and acknowledge your refund. If you e-file, you will get a notice of arrival within 24 hours and confirmation of refund within 72 hours.. Request Direct Deposit. Once your tax return is accepted and the refund approved, you can choose to have your money directly deposited in your bank account within a week. If you choose to have a paper check sent through the mail from the IRS, this option will add at least another two weeks to the process.
