Most taxpayers e-file tax returns with a big benefit of receiving refunds more quickly than if they filed through the mail. Those who electronically file their returns typically receive refunds within three weeks of the IRS's email acknowledging your return was filed. It generally takes twice as long for the IRS to remit refunds for paper returns. It's tough to keep that antsy feeling at bay when you know the cash should be coming any day.

If you're wondering where your tax refund is, simply head to the IRS website [1] and use the Where's My Refund? tool. The system should have an update on the status of your refund as long as it's 72 hours after e-filing your return, or three to four weeks after mailing your paper return.

Have you received your refund yet?
