The IRS does not have specific days designated for mailing out refund checks, as the timing can vary based on several factors, including the method of filing and the complexity of the return. Generally, taxpayers who e-file and choose direct deposit can expect their refunds within 21 days, while those who file paper returns may wait longer. Refunds are processed continuously rather than on specific days, so it’s best to check the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool for real-time updates.
The IRS sends them out on Fridays. Depending on where you live should be a monday or tuesday.

The IRS will start accepting claims for refunds on January 17th, 2012
It is important to know that you are not guaranteed a federal tax refund. If you believe you will receive a refund after filing your taxes, you can check your status about three days after you file to confirm whether or not your file was accepted or not from the IRS if you do it online or a couple of weeks if you mail it in. You can go to "where's my Refund" on the IRS website to track your refund as well. Refunds generally take longer to receive the closer to tax deadline (April 15th) as well.

The IRS uses the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, a part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, for processing tax payments and refunds.

IRS refunds should come within 21 days of you submitting your tax return. If you do not hear from the IRS in this time you should ring the tax office at once as this has possibly been just missed and not processed or even lost in the post.
