IRS mailed refund check Feb 7 - how long until delivery?
My transcript shows the IRS mailed my refund check on February 7. Still haven't gotten anything in my mailbox. Starting to get worried. Anyone know how long it usually takes for a paper check to arrive?

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

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