IRS mailed refund check Feb 7 - how long until delivery?

Generally, IRS refund checks take 5-7 business days to arrive once mailed. However, current USPS delays could extend this to 2-3 weeks. Make sure your address is correct on your return. If it's been over 4 weeks, you should contact the IRS to initiate a check trace.

Instead of playing the waiting game, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on with your refund status, including mail times based on your location. Its only $1 and way better than guessing https://taxr.ai

In the same boat rn. Day 12 of waiting 🙃

bruh why dont they just do direct deposit for everyone? its 2025 ffs 🤦‍♂️

Mine took 3 weeks last year. USPS be playing games with our money frfr

Check if you can open a case with USPS. Sometimes they can track it down if its lost

Had the same issue last month - my check was mailed on Jan 15th and didn't arrive until Feb 3rd. That's almost 3 weeks! I called the IRS after 2.5 weeks and they said mail delays are super common right now. They can do a payment trace if it's been 4+ weeks, but honestly just hang tight a bit longer. The stress isn't worth it when most checks do eventually show up.
