IRS Direct Deposit Date 11/08 - Is this mailing date or arrival date for paper check?
My transcript shows a refund date of November 8th for a paper check. Anyone know if thats the day they actually mail it or the day I should expect it in my mailbox? Been waiting since February and just want to know when I can actually expect to see this money.

That's the date they mail it out. Usually takes 5-7 business days after that date to receive it in your mailbox. Sometimes longer depending on your local post office and where you live.

hey! i actually found this really helpful tool called taxr.ai that breaks down all your transcript codes and gives you exact dates. its only $1 and it tells you everything about your refund timeline. saved me hours of googling and guessing https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: sign up for informed delivery with USPS. You'll get pics of your mail before it arrives so you'll know which day its coming!

Been through this exact same situation! The 11/08 date is definitely when they mail it out, not when you'll receive it. I'd expect it to arrive anywhere between 11/13-11/17 depending on your location. Also keep in mind that if there are any postal holidays during that time it might add an extra day or two. The wait is brutal but you're almost there!
