Where’s My Refund?

Refund timing will vary based on a few factors not limited to: current vs. prior year filings, E-file vs. paper filings, direct deposit vs. paper check. IRS indicates most electronically filed current year returns with direct deposit should process within 21 days. State of Illinois simply states your refund will be received faster if you electronically file a return with direct deposit in lieu of paper filing.
