Question: how long does it take for income tax refund to come in?
Answer: The best way to get your refund quickly is to e-file your return and elect to receive the refund by direct deposit. For the 2019 tax year (new filing deadline is July 15, 2020), the IRS has said that the vast majority of e-filers (who also use direct deposit for refunds) will receive their refund within 21 days.
