How long will it take to get my savings bonds?

Your savings bonds are ordered after the IRS completes processing your tax return. Once ordered, it may take up to three weeks for your savings bonds to arrive in the mail. If you’re having a portion of your refund deposited directly into your bank account, you may receive your refund before your savings bonds arrive by mail.

What if there’s a mistake on my tax return?

If you make an error that increases your refund, the additional amount will be sent to you in the form of a check. If your error results in a decreased refund, the entire refund will be sent to you in a check.

Whom do I contact if I don’t get my Savings Bonds?

The first step is to check the status of your refund by going to the Where’s My Refund feature on www.irs.gov or calling 1-800-829-1954. You can generally get information about your refund 72 hours after the IRS acknowledges receipt of your e-filed return, or three to four weeks after mailing a paper return. If the IRS has processed your refund and placed the order for your savings bonds, you will need to contact the Treasury Retail Securities Site in Minneapolis at 1-800-553-2663 to inquire about the status of your savings bonds.
