Most tax filers who submit tax returns online can expect to receive their refunds within 21 days, the IRS said. That means those who e-file on Jan. 27 may be able to get their money as early as Feb. 17. Those who file paper tax returns by mail will have to wait at least four weeks, according to the IRS.
