No that would not be the way that it would work when you file your income tax return and it is completed correctly and accepted by the IRS as you filed it. After the IRS accepts your income tax return as you filed the refund check will be issued to you by the IRS and the return period will depend on the way that you filed your income tax return and the way that you requested you refund amount to be be sent to you. So depending on the above it could take from about 110 days to six weeks for you to get your refund amount if it is by mail.

Generally you have three years in which to file a tax return for a refund. After three years, the IRS refund statute doesn't allow for issuing a refund. The three years starts on the due date of the original return for the particular tax year.For more information, go to www.irs.gov/taxtopics for Topic 153 (What to Do if You Haven't Filed Your Tax Return).
It depends on whether the IRS is actively seeking for your unfiled returns to be filed. If the IRS does not have a reason to believe that you were required to file a return, then you will probably get your refund without any problems. However, if the IRS shows that you are missing some past year tax returns, and they have enough income reported to you that leads them to believe that you should have filed a return, they may hold your refund until you can get it filed. The IRS is also authorized to prepare a return for you if you fail to do so yourself. This is known as a 6020(b) return, or a "Substitute for Return". The IRS may have already done one of these based upon the income that was reported to you, and typically their estimates of what you would have owed are much higher than it would have been if you had filed the return yourself. If the IRS has done this, then they may already think that you owe them money on that Substitute for Return -- if that has happened, they will keep your refund and apply it towards your debt. If the IRS has done a Substitute for Return, you can still file your own return and provide the correct numbers by going through a "SFR Reconsideration" process. The IRS can take 4-6 months to process the actual return, though, so this could again delay your refund until they sort it all out.
