IRS payment schedule after March 15
Many taxpayers have filed their tax return after February 22, therefore, they will need to wait for about 21 days to get their IRS direct deposit. If you have not filed a federal income tax return yet, the deadline to do so is April 15.
Those citizens who need extra time, will also have until April 15 to pay taxes and to get an extension of time to file. IRS does not recommend requesting paper checks because they are not as safe or as fast as direct deposits. To know when you will exactly receive your deposit, visit the IRS tool “Where’s my refund?”.
