How long does it take to get a refund after filing taxes?

Modified on Wed, 19 Nov at 1:23 AM

If you file electronically and choose direct deposit, you can generally expect your refund within three weeks. Filing a paper return may take six to eight weeks. You can track your refund status using the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on the IRS website.
