Your refund should come on the date specified by the IRS but it can bee sooner or a little later due to your financial institution.

It can come earlier than the date the IRS provided you because when a company is sending money to your banking institute via direct deposit... in order for it to be available on the date it is posted for... they have to send the electronic transmission at least 24 hours in advance but most send it 48 hours in advance. That transmission will have a post date attached with it on when the funds are to be paid out. However, most prepaid credit/debit cards and some banks will release the funds to you as soon as they get the electronic transmission regardless what the post date says. A lot of the major banking companies will not release the funds early. You will see it pending in your recent transactions but it will show the date that it will be available which will match what the IRS said your deposit date would be.

What about paper checks?

HeatherPLO

If you will be receiving a paper check, it can take 4-8 weeks or longer to receive your refund.

It may also take longer due to other reasons, such as the particular forms that were filed, or due to the PATH Act. For more details, please see the Help Article here.
