I was just wondering how long it takes to get the check for a tax refund, I didn't do the direct deposit option so I'm getting it sent in the mail. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for it to come in (arrive?)?

uuuummm, I'm afraid to ask now but when did you send your stuff in? (to get your tax refund back?)Not So Tuesday said:I never got mineQuiet Stranger said:
I'm not getting one this year, anyway. But it all depends on when you filed. If you filed on April 15th, it'll come after everybody else's. It comes in the order they received it.
I already got my tax refunds (a whopping 24 flippin dollars combined between state and federal) and i got them about two to three weeks after having the forms filled out, and it was before April 15
The timing of when you get your refund is dependent on when you filed. If you filed in April, it's going to take at least 6 weeks for them. The earlier you file, the less busy they are and the sooner you are processed and get a refund.
One time, I didn't get a refund until November, so I got interest on it. But then they reassessed me and decided I shouldn't have gotten a refund. Which made sense, since I originally calculated it as me owing them about 2 grand. So I had to pay the refund back, PLUS the interest that they deemed I owed them. Stupid goubberment, stupid mcguinty.
Should add - I don't do direct deposit either. Also, if you netfile and they feel they want to look at stuff, you'll have to send that in before you get a refund or anything.

2 years ago, but I moved during that time so it probably just got lost in the mail. I don't really care though, it was worth about $12.Quiet Stranger said:uuuummm, I'm afraid to ask now but when did you send your stuff in?

That was mostly because I had some small business income, as well as unusual medical expenses (a couple years with no medical, then suddenly about 5k to claim) so I got audited, and then they failed in their ability to add.
Usually though, if I file in April, it has taken about 6 to 8 weeks from when I filed. I haven't filed yet this year as I have until June 15th, and a refund as small as what I've calculated isn't worth the time yet.
