It depends on when you submit your return in relation to the processing cycle. http://www.efile.com/tax-refund/where's-my-refund. Asp has a list of estimated IRS refund dates and the return submission dates.
Direct deposit times vary from paper checks as well. The e-file website (irs.gov/efile/) says in as little as 10 days via direct deposit.
I received mine in about 2-3 weeks. The later you file, the longer it may take.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
