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!
