This is a general IRS refund timeline, not a promise.
Most refunds are issued within 21 days after filing.
Timing varies based on your return, how you filed, and any verification needed.
If you claimed CTC or EITC, refunds wonโt be released until after February 15 due to the PATH Act.
Always use โWhereโs My Refundโ for the most accurate updates.
SAVE this for reference.
