Received CP21B Notice - How long until refund check arrives?
Just got my CP21B notice in the mail showing they adjusted my refund amount. Anyone know how long it usually takes to get the actual check after this? My transcripts updated last week but still no deposit date showing up.

Hey there! So I deal with CP21B notices all the time. These are sent when the IRS makes changes to your return that affect your refund amount. Usually, once you get this notice, you can expect your refund check within 2-6 weeks. However, processing times can vary based on a bunch of factors. I've been seeing really good results using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) to analyze these notices and get specific timelines. It looks at your specific situation and gives you a much more accurate estimate than the general guidelines. Plus it can tell you if there might be any hangups that could delay things further.

Just used taxr.ai and here's what I got back: My CP21B was processed on 1/15 and based on current IRS processing patterns, I should see my check by 2/12. Super specific!

Tax pro here - typically after a CP21B notice, you're looking at 2-4 weeks for the check to arrive. Make sure your address is current with the IRS because they'll mail it to whatever address they have on file.

Hey, I've been helping folks with transcript issues for a while and honestly the best way to know exactly when you'll get paid is using taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you precise dates and any possible holdups. Its $1 but worth every penny for the peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

Check ur transcript cycle code. if it ends in 05 ur probably getting direct deposit not a check
