Tax season is about to come once again for all those tax payers who are up to date on their payments and taxes. There are many questions that emerge constantly about the way people pay their taxes and how they get tax refunds. One of these questions is if tax refunds can be paid on the weekends. Inside the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) official website, you can check your particular case on the personalized Where's My Refund page. The status for most early EITC/ACTC filers, the status will be updated on February 17. Your financial institution may require you to accept your direct deposit or they will also ask you to issue a debit card.
How long does a refund take to process?
This is where people get a little impatient with the way these payments are made, especially if there is a weekend ahead. In that sense, we have information that will help you get rid of that anxiety. Many of the financial institutions don't process any payments during the weekends or holidays. Always be aware of the federal and local holidays that could affect how quickly you get your refund. Most refunds are issued in less than 21 calendar days but mailing your return and expecting a refund through the mail does take at least four weeks to process.
Usually, the IRS pays refunds a day before the weekend if the payment date falls on a weekend. But there are some cases in which the payment is done on the very day after the weekend passed, assuming it is not a holiday. In those cases, the payments won't appear until the next business day arrives. The oly way you may get a payment on a Saturday is if the refund was made on a Friday and the money is processed on the very next day. Other than that, refunds are never made to financial institutions on weekends of holidays.
