Probably the same in Spain too. What I was aiming for is "do they actually refund the money within the century?"

Neko_Ali:
Yes. Relatively quickly even, by government measure. The whole concept around in in the US is you pay into a fund during the year for your tax obligation. At the start of each year, when your fill out your tax reports, they will then refund you whatever you have over paid them. Or conversely you own whatever you underpaid. A lot of people have a little extra taken out of every pay check as sort of a 'forced savings' program so that they get back a bigger refund. It normally take a few weeks. And a lot of places now will 'pre refund you'. Basically when you get them to fill out your return (or sometimes bring them your return), they pay you most of what you would have gotten back right then in exchange for you signing over your refund. Them keeping the difference as a fee.

In the end it works out all the way around for the government since you are basically giving them money, which they hold onto (and make use of) until up to a year later, at which point they return a small portion of it.

Or audit you if you cheat on your taxes

My mind, she is blown. My dad's still waiting for the 2013 refund.

cesium133:
Yeah, it only took a week for me to get my refund. I didn't go through an agency, either, just used the IRS's online forms.
