Income Tax Refuned Estimated Day Of Arrival

Has anyone received their income tax refund back who filed online? In past years mine has arrived in about 10 days, but the online filing site said it would be about 21 this year. I heard that the fiscal cliff at the end of the year delayed things. It was another one of those things Obama sneaked it without the public realizing what he was doing until it was too late. I heard all during the end of the year about the fiscal cliff, and the fact that the tax withholdings would take a bigger bite out of our paychecks. I remembered that it was a temporary thing when they reduced the withholding a year or so ago, so I didn't consider it a great big deal. What Obama DIDN'T tell us though, was that this would push our ability to file our income taxes back a month. I have bills such as my Norton anti-virus renewal that I routinely pay out of my income tax refund the middle of February, but I had to scramble to pay it out of my normal budget since my tax refund isn't back yet. I'm wondering now just how long it will take to get my refund, and if any other mylot users have any idea of the time frame.

It was slower this year as they didn't even start accepting them until the end of January.. and certain credits had to wait even longer. I didn't get mine until the end of February where normally we get them mid-February.
