  • When will I receive my tax refund?
    Most tax refunds arrive within 4-6 weeks after the IRS accepts your tax return. You should contact your tax professional if it has been longer than six weeks. However, there are some rules that most Americans need to learn. First, suppose you expect to receive any refundable tax credits, most commonly known as child tax credits, earned income credits, or American opportunity tax credits. In that case, your refund will be processed in mid-February. This is because it is illegal for them to do so. To find out if the IRS has processed your refund click here: Where is My Refund?
