Claim Your Tax Refunds Within 21 Days

The Internal Revenue Service has already announced that next week will be the tax season. Beginning Monday, the agency expects that millions of Americans across the country will file their income taxes either personally or electronically.

According to a published report in Yahoo News, filers can claim their tax refunds within 21 days if they filed electronically and there are no errors or changes in their information. CPA Practice Advisor, a publication for tax pros, which each year publishes a refund timeline also said that the average number of days is 21 to receive the refund.

However, the publication also added that the refund could take longer during the peak season which is April. It is the reason why they suggest to file income tax as soon as possible. They also clarified that Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit can’t be issued until mid-February by law.
