IRS Releases 2013 Refund Information as Tax Season Approaches

The IRS has just alerted the public that they expect refunds to be processed as quickly in 2013 as they were in 2012. In 2012, 90% of taxpayers received refunds in less than 21 days. The amount of the average refund was $3,000.
To see if you are going to get a refund you can use the new IRS system “Where’s My Refund?” on the IRS web page or click this link http://www.irs.gov/Refunds/Where’s-My-Refund-It’s-Quick,-Easy,-and-Secure.
