On what days are IRS refund checks mailed?

1. If you efiled, it's much faster. If you mailed it in, they do it on a first come, first served basis.
2. It depends when you filed.
3. http://www.irs.gov/ Got to the IRS site. Click on Where's My Refund (under online tools). Enter your info and you'll find out if/when your check has been mailed!
4. I work in an accounting firm and I know for a fact that they are direct deposited only on friday's. Which i will assume means that they are also only mailed on friday's. the state check doesn't have a set day. they come whenever.
5. Processing time for refund returns depends on the method used for filing. If you e-file opting for direct deposit and have not received your refund within 3 weeks after filing your return (eight weeks if you filed a paper return opting for a paper check), you can check your refund status by clicking on "Where's My Refund" then go to "Get My Refund Status" (after inputting the required data). Or, you can call the Refund Hotline at (800) 829-1954. Be sure to have available a copy of your current tax return because you will need to know your social security number shown on your return, the filing status and the exact whole dollar amount of your refund. If you have requested direct deposit, the refund should take one week less time to be issued as opposed to getting a paper check.
