Tax Refund and Payment
If you paid more tax than you owe, you may get a refund. Even without paying tax, you might qualify through refundable credits. Getting your refund is simple—choose how you want it, and if you owe taxes, we’ll help with payment options.
Select your refund method
Refunds take up to 21 days for e-filed returns, 4+ weeks for mailed or amended ones, and longer if corrections or review are needed. You can receive your refund through the following methods.

Direct deposit
The fastest way to get your refund. Deposit into your checking, savings, or retirement account.

Paper check
Mail your check to the address listed on your return. Let IRS know immediately if your address has changed.

Prepaid debit card
Need to check with your bank or card provider to see if your card will work and which account numbers to use.
