Yes, today Friday was my lucky day.
For the last three years it's been three Fridays after
mailing in a computer printed return.
I hear it is one Friday faster if you efile.

If you are looking for a good wine, you need to know whatl;s
a good vintage date for that wine.

But you are usually safe in avoiding a wine with a date of
"Friday."

Friday is your answer.

Returns that reach the IRS by early Thursday get into the
batch to be processed for direct deposit on the 2nd Friday
from then.

So if the IRS received it on Wednesday Feb 9th, then unless
there is some other reason to bounce it, they will deposit
the funds on February 18th.

The IRS usually makes direct deposits on Fridays. The money
may show up in you account a few days earlier depending on
the reporting your bank uses, but it will not be available
until Friday. The 8-15 day rule is due to the "cut-off"
time for weekly deposits. If the return has been submitted
AND accepted by the IRS by noon on Thursday the week before
it should be available in the bank the following week on
Friday. This is according to their schedule. I have the
link at work and can get it if you need it. I have found
this schedule to be right on, unless the individual taxpayer
has some kind of debt indicator at the IRS that will hol,d
the refund.

Last year someone told me that the IRS only does direct
deposit transactions on certain days and I remember that it
held true. I can't find anything except the generic 8-15
day wait for direct deposit. Can anyone help?
