Track Your Refund

The time it takes to get your tax refund depends on how you filed your return. If you mailed a paper return, it usually takes about six to eight weeks to receive your refund check. If you opted for direct deposit, you could see your refund in as little as a week. For returns submitted electronically through e-file, refunds are generally issued within two to three weeks. You can track the progress of your refund anytime using the federal or state refund tracking tools.
