When will i get my income tax refund

We understand you would like to know when you will receive our tax decision upon filing your return. Unfortunately there’s no way to indicate when exactly that will be.

Officially the processing time for your return may take as much as 3 years. We must have definitively imposed the income tax return for 2021 by 31 December 2024 at the latest. However, usually it won’t take that long at all.

Have you had a postponement for filing your tax return?

If so, we will add the period of postponement to the period of 3 years within which we must send you a final assessment.

Haven’t you heard anything yet, even though you expect to get a tax refund? You may receive interest on top of your refund as well.

You are entitled to receiving repayment interest from 1 July after the tax year you have filed your return for. Have you filed your return for 2021? You will receive repayment interest over your refund as of 1 Juli 2022. Read more about it under Belastingrente (Dutch only).

Please send us your personal income statement if you haven’t done so yet.

We can’t process your tax return without having received your personal income statement. Read more about this personal income statement on page How to obtain an income statement?

If you file electronically, most refunds are processed within 21 days after the receipt.

If you mail your paper return, it may take up to 4 weeks to get processed.

• Simply enter your Social Security Number, filing status, and the exact refund amount.
• You can check the status within 24 hours after IRS has received your e-filed tax return, or 4 weeks after mailing in your paper return.
• This information is updated once every 24 hours, usually overnight.
• Once IRS approves your EITC refund, you will see the actual refund date.

Do NOT call the IRS unless it has been:

• 21 days or more since you filed electronically;
• More than 6 weeks since you mailed your paper return; or
• The Where’s My Refund? tool directs you to contact them.

Be sure to use the same information used on your return: Social Security Number, Tax Year, and Refund Amount.

If you submitted your return electronically, please allow up to a week for your information to be entered into our system.

Receiving Your Refund

The Department issues $825 million in individual income tax refunds per calendar year. The majority of these refunds are issued before the end of May.

Various things can delay return processing. A few examples are mailing a paper return, not choosing direct deposit, having errors on a return, missing documentation, and returns identified for additional review.

"Where's my tax refund?"

Ever wonder what happens between e-filing your tax return and receiving your refund?
Here is what really happens when you press that green button and transmit your tax return.

• First, we "stamp" the return with an electronic postmark, and then we send it to the government.
• Then we both wait 24 to 48 hours for the IRS to accept your return.
• What are they doing? They are checking your personal information to make sure it matches their records.
• If everything looks good, the IRS accepts your return.

Once you are accepted, you are on the IRS payment timetable. Only the IRS knows the status of processing your tax return, whether you owe taxes or are due a refund. In prior years, the IRS issued more than 9 out of 10 refunds to taxpayers in less than 21 days last year. The same results are expected for 2022.

TurboTax Tip: You can use the IRS Where’s My Refund? tool or call the IRS at 800-829-1954 to check on the status of your refund, beginning 24 hours after you e-file. The IRS will provide an actual refund date as soon as your tax return and refund are approved.

• You can use the online IRS Where’s My Refund? tool (fastest option)
