The IRS claims that tax refunds are processed within 21 calendar days. Most returns are actually processed sooner, but some take much longer.

If you are waiting more than 3 weeks, it could be for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the main issues:

1. You claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Child Tax Credit (CTC), which resulted in a refundable portion, referred to as the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). The IRS won't release these refunds until March.
2. Your tax return contains an error or is missing a required schedule or form.
3. You entered incorrect direct deposit information for your refund. PLEASE doublecheck your bank details (routing number, account number, and bank name) before efiling your tax return.
