The IRS estimates most taxpayers will receive their refund via direct deposit within 21 days after acceptance.

You can track your return by checking the Where's My Refund website located here.

If you elected to have your fees deducted from your refund, the IRS will send your return to Santa Barbara Bank, where they will deduct the fees and then deposit any remaining refund into your account.

Thank you! About how long does it take to get approved? On the 6th it will be 3weeks without an approval. I don't owe the IRS so it should be directly Depositing into my account. It has never taken this long is what's got me worried.

Even though the IRS issues 9 out of 10 tax refunds within 21 days, it's possible your return may require additional review and take longer to process.

During processing, the government reviews your refund. During the review process, they look for math errors on your return (extremely rare in TurboTax) and they also check if you owe back taxes, unpaid child support, or other debts.

If they need to make any corrections, they may offset (reduce) your refund. In some cases, the correction might even increase your refund.

Once that part's done, the government approves your refund, which means it's ready to be deposited or sent. At that point the IRS site will update with a direct deposit date.

Why do some refunds take longer than others?
