I called the IRS toll free number and my federal tax refund is due 2/12/08. Have you heard of any processing delays? Thank you for responding.

My son e-filed on 1/18 his federal will hit 2/1. Most IRS software lets you go back into your return to see when to expect refund. Or there is a phone # (see tax book) but I think they tell you to wait to call till 6 weeks- however they usually know by now. They are running 10 to 14 days.

Nope… no delays… you JUST missed the cutoff for direct deposit. Here’s the IRS refund cycle briefly:
Return Accepted by IRS between: Jan 24 and Jan 31 2008
Direct Deposit sent: Feb 8, 2008
Check Mailed: Feb 15, 2008
Return Accepted by IRS between: Jan 31 and Feb 7 2008
Direct Deposit sent: Feb 15, 2008
Check Mailed: Feb 22, 2008
Return Accepted by IRS between: Feb 7 and Feb 14 2008
Direct Deposit sent: Feb 22, 2008
Check Mailed: Feb 29, 2008
Return Accepted by IRS between: Feb 14 and Feb 21 2008
Direct Deposit sent: Feb 29, 2008
Check Mailed: Mar 7, 2008
And then however long it takes for your bank to process the direct deposit after they send it is when you’ll see the money. So, 2/12 seems about right.
Hope this helped.
