IRS Tax Refund Schedule 2025: $3000 Refunds Arriving Soon

The IRS has begun processing tax refunds for 2024 returns, with the average refund amounting to around $2,939, and eligible Americans can expect to receive an average refund of around $2,945 in June 2025, depending on their filing method and date.

The refund timeline varies depending on how taxpayers filed their returns, with e-filers receiving refunds sooner than paper filers. Those who filed between May 1-15 can expect refunds between June 26-July 10, while those who filed between May 16-31 can expect refunds between July 11-25. E-filers with direct deposit can receive refunds between May 22-June 4 or June 6-19, depending on the filing date.

The IRS offers a "Where's My Refund?" tool to track refund status in real-time, allowing taxpayers to stay up-to-date on the status of their refunds. However, refund delays can occur if returns are filed by mail or via paper check, taking up to two months to process. External factors such as tax debts, child support, or student loans can also delay or withhold refunds.

Electronic filing with direct deposit is the fastest option, with refunds processed within days. Taxpayers who filed near the end of tax season using paper methods may not receive their refunds until mid-June. The IRS has started paying tax refunds, with some checks reaching nearly $3,000, and those who haven't received their refunds yet can contact the IRS for an explanation.

As the IRS continues to process tax refunds, eligible Americans can expect to receive their refunds in the coming weeks, with the average refund amount expected to be around $2,945 in June 2025. Taxpayers can use the "Where's My Refund?" tool to track their refund status and stay informed about any updates or delays.
