What You Will Need
When Will I Get My Refund?
Should You Call the IRS?
The IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, although some require additional time. You should only call if it has been:
- 21 days or more since you e-filed
- 6 weeks or more since you mailed your return, or when
- "Where's My Refund" tells you to contact the IRS
You can use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator to help make sure your withholding is right for 2020.
