Tax Year 2011 IRS e-File Refund Cycle Chart

The IRS does not guarantee a specific date that a refund will be deposited into a taxpayer's bank account.   

To check the status of a refund, call the IRS Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1954 (toll free) or check the official IRS website "Where's My Refund?" by clicking here. You will need to provide them with your Name, SSN, Filing Status, and anticipated refund amount. The following is the official IRS Refund Cycle Chart.

The IRS deposits money directly to your bank account. We do not transfer the money.
