IRS Tax Examiner released refund - How long until deposit?

Finally got through to a tax examiner after waiting forever and they said they released my refund today! Anyone know typically how long it takes to hit your bank account after they release it? Getting nervous cause I really need this money.

Usually takes 3-5 business days after release for direct deposit. If you're getting a paper check, could be 2-3 weeks. You can check WMR (Wheres My Refund) daily, it should update to 'sent' status soon.

hey! instead of checking WMR constantly (which can be super unreliable), you should try taxr.ai - its only $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect the deposit. saved me so much anxiety during my wait https://taxr.ai

totally legit! it uses AI to read all those confusing codes on your transcript and explains everything in plain english. way better than trying to figure it out yourself
