When will I get my tax refund?

In 2018, 9 out of 10 e-filers received their refund less than 21 calendar days after their return was received by the IRS.

That’s not an IRS promise or anything. But in general, you can expect to get your tax refund 3-4 weeks after filing your return. That being said, these are unprecedented times. It’s impossible to say when you’d get your tax refund in 2022.
