The quickest option is to file your return online and receive your refund via direct deposit. The 941 forms filed electronically had an IRS processing time of one month. Original forms 941 filed on paper are generally processed within 3 to 4 months. If your Form 941 request that you originally filed hasn't been reimbursed, it's time to contact the IRS or ask a professional to review Form 941 for potential errors in your request.
If you filed your tax return on paper, it may take 6 months or more to process your tax return. For details on the service delay, see Operations Status.
