Schedule for Delivery of the 2024 EITC Refund
The deadline for refunds for individuals who electronically submitted their taxes and got the EITC is February 27, 2024. NBC reports that the IRS typically processes refunds in four weeks. Refunds for EITC filers who were guaranteed to receive them by February 27, 2024, should be sent by then. Paper checks may take up to two weeks to arrive, but direct deposits arrive four to six days following the refund. You could get a paper check on March 10 and a direct transfer on March 2 or 3 if your refund is processed by February 27, 2024.
