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!

Filed my taxes on January 31 was accepted and now processing as of feb 10. Whats going on
Hi Robert,
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 online thru H&R block on 1/30 and was accepted the same day. For the first week I had the orange bars with only the first on filled in. When I checked on Saturday 2/7 I got a message saying… Your tax return is still being processed.A refund date will be provided when available. with no Tax Code below. I have not received a letter in the mail or anything. Should I be concerned? I did not file last year(had no income) but have filed in years before and have always had my refund in about a week. The same address is on this return as in years prior. I am single and am expecting a refund just under 1,000$. Let me know what you think, I have never had this message in years past.

I filed electronically on 2/1. I received confirmation that they were accepted that same night. I have been checking the WMR site and up until today I received the “You should receive your refund within 21 days from submittal”. Today when I check I received the message “your return is still being processed and a refund date will be given once available”. What exactly does this mean? Any idea when or if I should expect my refund? Does this mean I am being audited?
Hi Kelly,
The general rule is that the more allowances you claim, the less withholding you’ll have taken out of your paycheck each pay period. By following the instructions on the Personal Allowances Worksheet of your W-4 Form, you will calculate the maximum amount that you should claim (Keep in mind that this worksheet will not be given to your employer or the IRS). However, you can always claim less than that to ensure that enough will be withheld from each paycheck. If you claim zero, you’ll have the maximum amount withheld. If you claim a larger amount, you’ll have less withheld. The absolute ideal scenario is to have your tax liability or refund, at the end of the year, be as close to zero as possible.
I filed my taxes on Jan 28 and got accepted by the IRS that same day. It got approved by the IRS a week later on Feb 4. By when should I expect to receive my refund in the mail?
Hi,
As stated in the article, once you have the approval date, you can refer to the cycle dates listed above. However, please keep in mind that these dates are ESTIMATED based solely on prior year trends.

Hi Kendrick,
Once you are approved, the IRS will provide you with an approximate direct deposit date.
