The IRS has aimed to have a more normal tax season in 2022 than we have had in 2020 and 2021. This means Americans should see their refunds in a timely manner.
Everyone will need to have their taxes filed by April 18, 2022, unless they get an extension or reside in an area where a disaster occurred.
You should see your refund within three weeks if the return you submitted is completely correct.

When will I see my refund from the IRS?
Different factors determine when filers will actually see their refunds.
How early you submit refunds plays a part.
If you claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit, it may take longer to verify you’re entitled to those claims.
If you e-file you’ll see your return quicker than if you sent it on paper by mail.
Existing federal debts could lower or eliminate your refund entirely.

Dates you’ll see your refund from the IRS
If you filed your taxes electronically on the first day you could, Jan. 24, then you’ll see your refund by Jan. 31.
If your e-filed return arrives by Jan. 31, you’ll see your refund by Feb. 11.
Marca reports dates that your refund will arrive by depending on when you filed it.
These dates are correct for direct deposit. You can add a week for paper checks.
