New Delhi, Feb. 16 -- If an American taxpayer has already submitted the federal income tax return (ITR) and is anticipating a payment, the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) indicates that funds should arrive in the bank account shortly - though the precise schedule relies on the date the return was officially accepted, as reported by WAFB.

Notably, the Internal Revenue Service is strictly utilizing direct deposit for all disbursements this year. The agency has discontinued the issuance of paper checks for tax refunds.

Refunds sent via direct deposit may appear in the taxpayer's bank account as quickly as 10 business days after the IRS accepts the electronically filed income tax return.
