How long does it take to receive a refund from TaxAct?

The timeframe for receiving a refund from TaxAct depends on several factors. Generally, if you choose direct deposit and file your return electronically, the IRS processes refunds within 21 days. However, if you choose to receive a paper check or file a paper return, it may take longer, typically up to six weeks. It's important to note that these timeframes are approximate and can be affected by various factors, like the accuracy of your return and any potential errors or issues. TaxAct provides tools and resources to help you track the status of your refund, allowing you to stay informed throughout the process.
