Generally, the IRS sends out their Direct Deposits on THURSDAYS, so that they are credited to the apprpriate accounts by Fridays. There are times when the refund gets sent early, but this is rare. They have deposit cycles. If a return is acknowledged by the IRS by noon on Wednesday, the earliest the refund is expected to be in the taxpayer's account is the Friday 9 days later.
The due date of the deposit depends on the payday. If the pay day is Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday then you must deposit the tax liability by the following Wednesday. If your pay day is Saturday, Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, you must deposit the taxes by the following Friday. Banks no longer accept payroll tax deposits, they must be remitted online.
