IRS Check Mailing Time - January 31st Issue Date
My transcript shows a refund issue date of January 31st but I still haven't received my check in the mail. Does anyone know the actual time it takes for the IRS to mail out checks? Starting to get worried since its been a few days already.

The IRS typically takes 5-7 business days to mail out checks after the issue date. If you're outside that window, you might want to call them. Keep in mind that USPS delivery times vary by region, and some areas are experiencing delays.

hey! instead of playing the guessing game, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - its only $1 and it analyzes your transcript to tell you exactly whats going on with your refund and expected delivery dates. saved me tons of stress https://taxr.ai

I'm in the exact same boat! Issue date of Jan 31st and still waiting. The 5-7 business day thing seems to be more like a guideline than a rule based on what I'm seeing here. At least we're not alone in this wait 😅
