Want Your Tax Refund Sooner? Do This

If you commonly get a sizable tax refund from the IRS, and your financial situation didn't change substantially in 2022 compared to previous years, then you may be in line for some money back this year. When you mail in a paper tax return, someone at the IRS has to go through it. It typically takes the IRS 21 days or less to issue refunds for tax returns that come in electronically, whereas the normal turnaround time for refunds on paper returns is six weeks.
