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.
Which means that if you have a 15 pound turkey, it should take 75 hours, or a little over 3 days, to defrost. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 2 to 3 hours (depending on the size of the bird) before cooking to allow it to come closer to room temperature. The turkey will cook more quickly and more evenly that way.hich means that if you have a 15 pound turkey, it should take 75 hours, or a little over 3 days, to defrost.
