When will irs mail checks

The IRS typically starts mailing tax refunds in late January or early February, but the exact timing can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the return, the method of filing (paper or electronic), and the time of year.

Here are some general guidelines on when you can expect to receive your tax refund:

• If you filed electronically and chose direct deposit, you can expect to receive your refund within 2 weeks of the IRS processing your return.
• If you filed electronically and chose a paper check, you can expect to receive your refund within 4-6 weeks of the IRS processing your return.
• If you filed a paper return, you can expect to receive your refund within 6-8 weeks of the IRS processing your return.

Keep in mind that these are general estimates, and the actual timing of your refund may vary. The IRS typically updates its "Where's My Refund?" tool on its website with the latest information on refund processing and delivery.

Here are some additional tips to help you track your refund:

• Make sure you have filed your return accurately and completely.
• Check your bank account or credit card statement to see if the refund has been deposited.
• Use the IRS's "Where's My Refund?" tool on its website to track the status of your refund.
• If you have not received your refund after 6 weeks, you can contact the IRS or visit a local IRS office to inquire about the status of your refund.

Remember to always verify the authenticity of any communication from the IRS, including emails, letters, and phone calls, to avoid falling victim to scams.
