Are you wondering when to expect your refund or where your federal refund is?

Once you have filed your tax return you will be given a date as to when to expect your return based on the tax refund schedule. This schedule is based on the date range your return was filed and accepted by the IRS.

Also the schedule will give you an estimated date for a direct deposit transaction if you elected to have it direct deposited or an estimated date of when the paper check will be mailed.
