When you receive your refund depends on how you file (paper or electronically), how you want to receive it, and when you file your return. You can receive your refund as a paper check or as a direct deposit. Direct deposit is faster than a paper check.

E-filing reaches the IRS faster than paper filing. The earlier you file in tax season (January), the faster you'll receive your refund. According to Tax Topic 152-Refund Information, refunds are issued within six weeks of receipt of your paper return and within three weeks of your electronic return.

You can check on your refund in two ways. One, go online at www.irs.gov. Select "Where's My Refund?" from the right column. Two, call the Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1954. Also, Publication 2043 (IRs e-file Refund Cycle Chart) is available online at www.irs.gov by selecting Publication Number and typing 2043 in the Find bar. The chart gives an estimated date of mailing or direct depositing according to date of receipt of your return. For example, returns received between January 15 and January 21, 2010 will be refunded by direct deposit sent on January 29, 2010 and by paper check mailed on February 5, 2010.

I haven't filed my taxes for 3 years. do I loose the child tax benefit for those past years or will I get a refund for them?

You should file your income tax returns if you qualify for any of the refund amounts and see what happens. You can file for a refund up to 3 years from the due date of the tax return and receive the amount of the refund that you qualify for after that period of time the refund is no longer available to you. For the 2006 tax year income tax return the last day to file and receive the refund amount would have been April 15 2010.

You did not file 2005 tax return when should you do it?

Do so at the first opportunity! Depending when you asked this question, and followed through. You actaully only get a refund for the past three years. So if you did not file your return by April 15, then you will receive your refund, if you were due one. However, whether you were entitled to a refund or not, you still need to file your return to prevent further interest/penalties accruing.
