Once the check is mailed, you should allow about 3-5 days to receive it.

You are asking us to predict how long it will take the U.S. postal service to deliver an envelope to your mailbox.   How long does any normal first class mail usually take to get to you?   Allow 7-10 days and be pleasantly surprised if it is sooner.  Watch your mailbox/

@Keyoina26  If your direct deposit went to a wrong or closed account it will take several weeks before you receive a check in the mail from the IRS.  No one can tell you exactly when it will arrive.   It will be mailed by first class mail without any sort of tracking so you will simply have to keep watching your mailbox for it.

If the IRS has mailed the check, you will receive it within 7-14 days. 

 

If you need to contact the IRS, you can do so by following the instructions here. @Marissa Renee

Ready to mail means that it was not e-filed and you have to print and mail the tax return.  You either selected to print your tax return instead of e-fling or your tax return could not be e-filed.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for how to print and mail a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/printing/help/how-do-i-print-and-mail-my-return-in-turbotax-online/00/26258

They mailed my check out on December 23th and still didn't get it

If you never received your mailed tax refund check from the IRS, you will need to contact the IRS for assistance.  Please see the below help article for information on how to contact them. 

How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?
