The 2021 tax season kicked off around two weeks later than normal this year, due to recent changes in the federal tax law. However, the delay shouldn’t affect when your tax refund will arrive.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said it expects to deliver the first round of refunds during the first week of March, which is the same time frame as if filing season had opened in January.
Though it’s impossible to predict the exact day your tax refund will arrive, there are some factors that can influence your timeline.
