The IRS refund schedule is basically a listing of dates that define the amount of time between when the IRS completes the processing of a tax return and the date that a refund check or direct deposit will be issued. One important distinction to make is that the date of completion on the refund schedule is the day that the IRS actually completes and files the tax return, not the date that it was mailed by the filer, or the date that it was received by the local IRS office. Additionally, the schedule itself not absolute, and the IRS makes it very clear that it is just a guideline and does not unconditionally guarantee that the schedule will be accurate for each person.

One of the largest factors that can affect the times on the IRS refund schedule is the method of filing. Using traditional mail and requesting a printed refund check can extend the period of time from submission to payment by a week or more. Filing a tax return electronically, on the other hand, can mean that the completion date is the next business day, especially if the electronic filing was prepared by a tax preparation professional.

The requested method of payment for the refund amount can affect the length of time within the refund schedule as well. According to the actual schedule, a direct deposit or electronic funds transfer will take place at the end of the week that occurs after the week in which the tax return was completed. If a paper check is requested, then two additional days are added to the payment date, after which the check is only mailed and will be received afterwards according to normal postal delivery times.

The IRS refund schedule provided only applies to Federal tax returns, and is not usually the same for local and state tax returns. In some situations, especially with electronic filings, a professional tax preparer can arrange complex tax returns in a way that allows them to be processed and completed by the IRS quicker than paper or personally filed returns. Certain professional services even offer loans for the amount of the refund at the time the tax return is submitted, allowing the filer access to their tax refund money immediately.

If you owe the IRS can you still get a rapid refund?

I don't understand your question. A refund (rapid or otherwise) occurs when you have overpaid your taxes and the IRS owes you money. If you owe the IRS money, you will not be getting any kind of refund. If you are talking about the situation where this year's tax return shows a refund, but you still owe unpaid taxes from last year, do NOT apply for a rapid refund. The IRS will keep your refund to pay your back taxes and the rapid refund company will still charge you a fee for processing the rapid refund even though you won't be getting any refund. You've waited this long to get a refund. Even if the IRS wasn't getting your refund, is it really worth paying $100 or $200 in fees just to get your refund one week earlier? well that answer is not totally true if you owe the IRS does not mean will not get any refund back because they could have still owed it from the year before and the IRS will deduct what is owed and send out the difference
