With millions of Americans expecting a tax refund this year, the IRS has one request for those looking to get their money faster: File your return electronically and as soon as possible. Tax returns could be low for the 2021 filing year due to changes made by the American Rescue Plan. If you file electronically – as most taxpayers do – you can start tracking the status of your tax refund within 24 hours of filing using the IRS' Where’s My Refund tool. And they should file electronically with direct deposit if at all possible; filing a paper tax return this year means an extended refund delay." If taxpayers file an electronic return with no issues and opt to receive the refund via direct deposit, the IRS anticipates the money will arrive within 21 days.
