IRS Refund Check Mail Date Question - Does scheduled mail date mean delivery date?
My transcript says refund check scheduled to be mailed on April 1st. Does anyone know if thats the day I'll get it in my mailbox or just when the IRS puts it in the mail? Getting anxious about this check tbh

The date shown is when the IRS will mail the check, not the delivery date. Once mailed, it typically takes 3-5 business days for delivery, depending on your location and USPS. Keep in mind that if you recently moved or your address isn't current, it could cause delays.

Hey! I was in the same boat last month trying to figure out my refund timeline. I ended up using taxr.ai ($1) and it was actually super helpful - gave me the exact timeline and what to expect. Way better than playing detective with these transcripts lol Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

Pro tip: sign up for informed delivery on USPS website. youll get pictures of your mail before it arrives and can track that check 👀

Same situation here! April 1st mail date on my transcript too. From what I've seen in this community, most people get their checks 3-5 days after the mail date. The USPS informed delivery tip from @Javier Torres is clutch - you'll literally see a photo of your check in the mail before it arrives. Takes some of the anxiety away knowing it's actually coming!
