Answer:

21 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The IRS finishes processing electronically filed returns within a 21 day period and releases most refunds by that date. You have to start counting the days after January 29, since that is the first date when the IRS starts processing electronic returns. On the other hand, manual filings generally take about 6 weeks to be processed (twice as much time).
