When do I get my refund?

Tax season is upon us!

Taxes must be filed by April 17, 2012 unless you file for an extension.

Many clients ask how long they must wait for their refund after they file. Well, wonder no more. According to the IRS you will receive your refund within 10-21 days of filing electronically. You can even check the status of your refund online! Check out the video below which explains the process of receiving your refund from the IRS.

Before you start thinking about refunds though, start thinking about getting a jump on completing you tax return. Gather relevant documents to help yourself or your accountant complete your return. Getting everything together earlier rather than later will allow you some extra wiggle room in case you are missing something or need to request a certain document from an employer or from your investments, loans, etc.
