2024 IRS Refund Payment Calendar
More than 90% of tax refunds are delivered less than 21 days after tax returns are processed. The tax refund payment calendar below offers a rough estimate of when to expect a tax refund by direct deposit (approximately 14 days) and paper check by mail (approximately 21 days).
Refunds may be delayed if filed in mid-March through April due to the high volume of filings the IRS receives around this time.
