If you have the IRS direct deposit your refund, you may receive your refund in 8 to 10 business days. There are cases where it can take 21 days or longer, maybe up to 10 weeks if the IRS is doing further review.

It is one of the unknowns of the universe. I have called the IRS several times on delayed returns only to get the response, “the taxpayer’s refund could take up to 10 weeks for a review.” The IRS employee can offer no explanation as to why, because their system does not have the answer. Often there is no notice sent to the taxpayer. The IRS will only send a notice if more documents are required.
