E-File Your Tax Return with RapidTax and Receive your Refund Within 21 Days!
In the past, the IRS released a refund cycle chart. This chart allowed tax filers to know exactly when they would receive their tax refund. Sounds helpful, right?
Unfortunately, the IRS no longer posts the refund cycle chart. Luckily, there are charts out there which give a pretty accurate prediction on when you’ll get your refund.
You may want to know how long it will take to receive your tax refund once you file your 2014 tax return. Luckily, we’ve provided a refund cycle chart below.
Keep in mind however, these dates are NOT definite. They are only expected dates, based off of previous year trends.
Track Your Refund on the IRS Site
Once your 2014 tax return is e-filed, you’ll be able to track your tax refund using the IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool. The site will give you status update on the whereabouts of your tax refund after you’ve entered the following information;
- social security number
- filing status
- refund amount
You’ll also be happy to hear the RapidTax team is available to answer any refund or tax return questions you may have before, during or after filing your tax return!
Get Ready for the 2015 Tax Season
Tax Day (the IRS due date for 2014 tax returns) was April 15th. If you’d like to receive your refund sooner rather than later, it’s best to e-file your 2014 taxes as soon as possible with RapidTax!
So what are you waiting for? Create an account and get your 2014 Taxes out of the way today!

I filed on march 6th, and its just about 3 weeks. When am i getting my money?
Hi Tracy,
If you e-filed and elected to have your refund direct deposited, you should have received your refund from the IRS within 21 days (from the date of acceptance). If you’re still waiting on your refund, I would suggest reaching out to the IRS. Their number is 800-829-1040.
If you used RapidTax to file your 2014 tax return, feel free to reach out to our tax team by phone, email or chat with any further questions you may have!
Best of luck!
My taxes were accepted on 1-27 yet all I see on the where’s my refund site is they are being processed. How can I find out what’s going on?
Hi Sarah,
The IRS has announced that it is experiencing high traffic on Where’s My Refund as more tax returns come in. The heavy volume of refund inquiries means that the IRS anticipates both the “Where’s My Refund?” tool and the refund feature on the IRS2go phone app will have limited availability during busier periods.
Due to the large number of inquiries and to avoid service disruptions, the IRS strongly urges taxpayers to only check on their refunds once a day. IRS systems are only updated once a day, usually overnight, and the same information is available whether on the internet, IRS2go smartphone app or on IRS toll-free lines. While “Where’s My Refund” is updated nightly, your account will not change that frequently.
I filed on the 8th of February, my status says no information available, this is 2 days later. How long before I get an approved status?

I filed on 1/31. It was accepted on 2/2, I still have no approval or direct deposit date. Shouldn’t the 10th have been my direct deposit date?
