If i get the 2009 new home-buyer's tax credit and am doing direct deposit when should i expect my tax returns?

Question

I bought a home in 2009 and filed my taxes in January 2010.  I did the direct deposit and still have yet to see the money. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You already filed your tax return.  Unless you made a serious error, you will never see it again.  Your tax REFUND could come at any time now.  I've personally seen them as quickly as 6 weeks though that appears to be the exception.

Answer 2

Be PATIENT!  It's a LOT of free money and IRS has to verify each of these tax returns.
Any paper return takes at least 4-8 weeks.
These typically run 8-22 weeks, and can take 6-12 months if you don't submit everything
These were running 18-22 weeks this summer.
Depends on whether you provided everything requested, whether they have to contact you, etc.

Answer 3

Tax RETURNS do not get deposited, they get sent to IRS files. But IRS does direct deposit TAX REFUNDS.  To find out the status of your refund call IRS at 1-800-829-1040.
Good luck, call early as the phone hold time could be very lengthy.
