Current Events > IRS says I won't get my refund check for 3-4 weeks

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is it always 3-4 weeks or can it possibly happen in like 5 days?

---

A check? Yeah 3 to 4 weeks is likely.

---

I called the irs though and they said they sent the check out on the 5th. It's for a prior year tax return.

---

I checked irs website and it said i had ti file my 2nd stim on my taxes. So i did. And then the stim came in. -_-

---

They dont start accepting returns until the 12th and even for direct deposit it can still take until the end of the month to get it if nothings wrong with the return.

If you're getting a physical check, i wouldnt expect it until mid march at the earliest

You must have errors or something. I always file at the beginning of January and get it a week and a half after it gets accepted at the beginning of February.

I feel like they want to delay ther refunds because they're worried about the value of the dollar crashing even further with these multiple stimulus checks.

This is also why they delayed processing the tax returns to February 12th as well

Just some of my thoughts

Thats not how that works. Tax dollars being returned dont cause inflation, and those that are claiming their stim checks are a relatively small group.

Never had errors.I just get the "its accepted" notification around mid Feb, and about a week or two it's in my account.Never have gotten a return back before Feb 15th no matter how early I file.

So please someone answer my question it's a prior year tax return and I called the irs and they said they sent the check out on the 5th of February. Thanks.

Any large influx of cash causes inflation. But under normal circumstances those return checks are probably offset by other aspects of the economy

and those that are claiming their stim checks are a relatively small group.

That's not true it's a huge group. And financial analysts all over are sounding the alarm on the effects its having as far as devaluing the dollar. Even though I feel its still neccessary because people need to eat and be able to survive and maintain their lives
