joanmcq Posted May 6, 2016 Report Posted May 6, 2016 Does anyone know how long it is taking to process paper returns these days? I've got one that has to be paper filed, and the client is asking about refund times. Quote
SaraEA Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 Last season it was about 12 weeks, sometimes less but don't tell the client that or they'll hound you. If identity theft is involved, much longer. Quote
Max W Posted May 7, 2016 Report Posted May 7, 2016 It is going to vary as to when it was filed, but my experience is 4-6 weeks. Early in the tax season and after the tax season will have shorter times than during the peak periods. It may also depend on the return, whether it is a simple W-2, or a more complex one with various schedules. Send the client this link- https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofgetstatus.jsp Quote
