Question: How long does it take to get a past years 2008 IRS Tax Refund, if paper filed with direct deposit option?
Filed 2008 last year IRS Tax and California State Tax returns late, obviously past the April 15th 2009 deadline as it’s now the following February 2010. We sent using the “paper file” option with “direct deposit”, as efile was not allowed after October 2009. We used Tax Act Online to file this 2008 past year return, and it was filed, printed, and sent Priority Mail on “February 19th 2010 . Wondering how long it takes to get refund for Federal and State returns. Could only find info on paper return with mailed check, or efile with direct deposit. This is a “paper return” mailed priority with “direct deposit”. Can’t use the “Where’s My Refund” tools for IRS or California because it seems set up only for current year returns. I know there is a hotline to speak to reps but curious is anyone in the community has just a knowledge of this type of return? Thank you.
Answer: I am in the same situation, and I have a sort-of answer for you. I mailed my 2008 tax return on Feb 4, 2010 and marked the direct deposit option. As of today, Feb 24, I went to “Where’s my refund?” on the IRS website, and it said my refund is going to be mailed to me on March 5. So the “Where’s my refund?” DOES work for past year’s returns, but it seems that you cannot have it direct deposited. But who knows, maybe it will be. Hope this helps!
