FAQs

When will I receive my tax refund?

E-filed returns with direct deposit typically result in refunds within 21 days. Paper returns take 6-8 weeks.

Why is my refund different from the estimate?

Actual refunds may differ due to additional factors like unreported income, credits, or IRS adjustments. This calculator provides estimates only.

Is it better to get a large refund?

A large refund means you overpaid taxes throughout the year. Adjusting your withholding to break even gives you access to your money sooner.
