It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, I’m not talking about Christmas; I’m talking about tax refunds.

Whether you’re planning to throw your refund into your savings, or splurge on a nice and well-deserved vacation, it’s important to know when to expect your refund to arrive in your bank account (or, if by snail mail, in your mailbox).

According to the IRS, every nine out of 10 refunds should arrive within 21 days of filing your taxes, if it doesn’t require any additional review.

It’s important to note that if you decide to receive your refund by mail, it will take a week longer to process and get to you. The fastest way to receive your refund is by filing taxes online and selecting direct deposit as your method of payment.

You can also track your refund using the “Where’s My Refund?” feature on the IRS website.
