The reason it is taking so long for some folks is due to the surge in identity theft. The IRS is taking longer to process/review returns which is yielding success in reducing identity theft but also has a side effect: delayed tax refunds for many legitimate filers.
â¢ Youâll need to a llow about 24 hours for each 4 to 5 pounds of frozen turkey you plan to thaw in the fridge. Approximate times to defrost a whole turkey in the fridge: - 10 pounds â 2 days plus 12 hours - 15 pounds â 3 days plus 18 hours - 20 pounds â 5 days - 25 pounds â 6 days plus 6 hours.
With some turkeys approaching 20 pounds or more, they can take days to fully thaw at refrigerator temperatures. In general, a frozen turkey will require approximately 24 hours for every 5 pounds at or below 40Â° F to fully thaw. In cold water, a turkey will require approximately 30 minutes per pound to fully thaw.
