Question: Has anyone checked www.irs.gov and verified that your 2006 refund has actually been processed?

Does “where’s my refund” actually tell you a date that your 2006 refund has been mailed or will be direct deposited on a certain date?

Answer: Yes. I e-filed my taxes on January 17th, using Tax Cut. I chose direct deposit, because it is the fastest way to receive my refund. This morning, I went to www.irs.gov, to check up on my refund status, even though they recommend waiting a week to do this. When I entered my information, it said that the irs were processing my information, and that assuming that there were no errors, I would receive my refund by January 30th.
