Do weekends count in IRS 21-day processing timeline for tax refund?

Getting anxious about my refund. Been counting the days since I filed and wondering if weekends are included in the IRS's 21 day processing timeline? Just want to know exactly when I should start worrying if I don't see anything.

Yes, the 21-day processing timeline includes weekends and holidays. The IRS processing systems run 24/7, so every calendar day counts towards that timeline. However, keep in mind that 21 days is just the standard timeline - some returns might take longer if they need additional review or have certain credits.

Hang in there! Most returns do come through within that window. Have you checked Where's My Refund?

Hey guys just wanted to share something that helped me - I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript and it gave me an exact timeline of when to expect my refund. Its only $1 and way better than guessing. Check it out: https://taxr.ai
