Refund Check Arrival Time

I received a notification that my refund check was sent on February 3rd, but it’s now mid-March, and I still haven’t received it. How long does it typically take for a refund check to arrive by mail? Does the time vary by state? I’m located in Washington.

If the IRS mailed your refund check on February 3rd, you should call them to request a trace. They will now consider it lost or stolen.

Hello, I’m a new member here. My refund check was mailed on March 17, 2023, but as of March 26, 2023, I still haven’t gotten it. California is where I currently reside. Does anyone else experience this issue? I’ve been browsing the internet nonstop, yet many people claim to have received it the same day or as much as three days later. I’m starting to feel a lot more anxious now. (I apologize in advance if this is not posted in the appropriate forum; I’m not sure how to post on this site or create a new thread.)
