How fast will your tax refund be?

How fast is tax refund?

The IRS sends nine out of 10 refunds in less than three weeks. Refunds are delivered fastest for electronic filers who want a direct deposit. The slowest refunds go to those who file on paper and expect a paper check.

Refunds for those getting the Child Care Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit will be somewhat delayed. Over $1.6 billion has been fraudulently claimed through those credits.
