Check Your Federal Tax Refund Status
Wondering when you will receive your income tax refund? The answer depends on how you filed your return. The IRS should issue your refund check within six to eight weeks of filing a paper return. If you choose to receive your federal tax refund through direct deposit, you should receive it within a week. If you e-filed your returns, IRS would issue your refund between two and three weeks.
