IRS Paper Check Mailing Time - How Long From Mailed to Mailbox?

My transcript finally updated and shows my refund check was mailed out yesterday. Anyone know how long its been taking for checks to arrive in the mail these days? Starting to check my mailbox like a hawk lol

Tax professional here - typically paper checks are taking 5-7 business days to arrive once mailed. However, I've seen some arrive in 3 days and others take up to 2 weeks. USPS delays can impact delivery times.

Instead of playing the guessing game, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your check based on your location and current USPS patterns. Its only $4.99 and totally worth it for the peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

interesting... how accurate is it? does it just read transcripts or what else can it do?

it does wayyyy more than just read transcripts. It can predict delays, explain codes, and even helps resolve issues. The AI is crazy good at finding patterns
