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!

mine were refiled on Jan 27th. Where’s my refund says they were received, been waiting for approved since still nothing….
Hi Michelle,
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 did my taxes on jan16 and the IRS received them on jan22 and the approval bar has moved. When should I expect them.
Hi Jamie,
Based on the date that your return was approved, take a look at the chart in the above article to see the estimated direct deposit date. Please keep in mind that these dates are approximate based on prior year tax refund cycles.
I filed on the 21st and it was accepted on the 21st. According to the IRS Pay Cycle, I should have received my refund TODAY, the 5th. However, I have not and the “Where’s My Refund” tool is still saying Processing. What the heck is going on? It has never taken 15 days to get my refund and this wait is frustrating me!

Has anyone received their refund? We filed our taxes on the 22nd of January. It was also approved the same day. However, it still shows it processing when logging into the “Where’s my refund” site.
I filed 1/22/15 when should I get my refund?
Hi Ervin,
As stated in the article, you will need to wait for your return to be in the approved stage and then you can use the chart to estimate the approximate date you will receive your refund.
