How long will it take to receive your Ohio, IRS tax refund? See the estimated schedule
While tax season is over for most Americans, the Internal Revenue Service continues to process refunds after the filing deadline. Depending on how you file can affect how long you'll have to wait for your refund. If you're owed a tax refund, it helps to know the IRS refund schedule. Here's when you could expect to see your money. If your taxes were electronically filed and accepted by April 7, it is estimated that you may see a direct deposit federal refund from the IRS by April 28, or June 6 by mail. If you filed your taxes electronically and they were accepted by April 15, it is estimated that you may expect a direct deposit federal refund from the IRS by May 6, or June 16 by mail. Ohioans who want to track state refunds can do so through the Department of Taxation's eServices Tool. It provides information for IT 1040 or SD 100 forms and is available for the current year and the past two years. If you already filed and are expecting a federal refund, it takes about 21 days to receive it from an e-filed return, and four weeks or more if mailed to the IRS. You can keep track of your federal refund through the IRS' "Where's my refund?" tool, the IRS2Go mobile app. You'll need to enter your filing status, social security or individual taxpayer ID number (ITIN), and exact refund amount. Submitting your return is not the same as the IRS accepting your return. Once it is accepted — you will know it has if you see a "Refund Sent" alert when you check your tax return status online — you won't have to wait too long for the funds to show up in your account. Once the IRS approves your refund, it could hit your bank account within days via the direct deposit option.

Where is my tax refund? Check status in Ohio; major change may affect 2026 refunds
Now that Tax Season is over, many Americans await their tax refunds. But big changes are coming to the way the Internal Revenue Service sends and receives taxpayer funds. An executive order signed by President Donald Trump requires the IRS to implement electronic payment options, effectively putting an end to paper checks, which the White House claims are 16 times more likely to be reported lost or stolen. The move to end the circulation of federal paper checks is effective Sept. 25. Next year's tax season might look different with the absence of paper checks, but there are other methods available to taxpayers. Do you use paper checks? Where is your refund? Here's what to know. If you already filed and are expecting a federal refund, it takes about 21 days to receive it from an e-filed return, and four weeks or more if mailed to the IRS. You can keep track of your federal refund through the IRS' "Where's my refund?" tool, the IRS2Go mobile app. You'll need to enter your filing status, social security or individual taxpayer ID number (ITIN), and exact refund amount. Ohioans who want to track state refunds can do so through the Department of Taxation's eServices Tool. It provides information for IT 1040 or SD 100 forms and is available for the current year and the past two years. The federal government will phase out paper checks for all disbursements, including tax refunds, starting in September 2025. The Trump administration claims that this is to reduce fraud, theft, costs, and delays, USA TODAY reports. Outside of the soon-to-be-ending paper checks, refund payment methods also include direct deposit (fastest), prepaid debit card, Mobile payment apps, or an existing IRA account.
