Where can you find the IRS tax refund schedule?

Websites such as Refund Schedule provide consumers with a complete IRS refund schedule each year. However, consumers can also visit the official IRS website and use its Where's My Refund tool in order to determine the exact date that their refund should be deposited or mailed.

The IRS also states that most refunds are issued within 21 calendar days; however, receiving a refund via paper check can take longer to receive than those issued via direct deposit. The IRS also states that calling does not speed up a consumer's refund, and that refund status can be checked 24 hours after a return is electronically filed or four weeks after a return has been mailed.
