how long does it take to get tax refund if mailed
Taxpayers who file a return that has been deemed incomplete or must be amended can expect to receive their refund within 8-12 weeks after the confirmation of filing is provided. If you file a Form 8379 (Injured Spouse Allocation), expect your refund to take even longer depending on the situation. Check Status of Tax Refund. All taxpayers can check the status of their refund money via the Internet or by calling a toll-free hotline. Taxpayers must wait at least 72 hours after an electronic tax filing before they can check their refund status. Individuals who have filed via mail will need to wait at least 3 weeks after making in the form. The refund information system is automated.
