IRS Tax Refund Calendar 2025: When is it your turn?
According to the IRS, 90% of taxpayers who file electronically and select direct deposit will receive refunds within 21 days.
MIAMI.- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS ) accepted electronic returns for the year 2024 as of January 21. The deadline for filing returns without an extension is April 15.
Taxpayers can request an extension to extend the deadline until October 2025. The declaration takes into account aspects such as gross income, marital status, age and whether or not the person is a dependent.
According to the IRS, nearly 90% of taxpayers who file electronically and select direct deposit will receive their refunds within 21 days. "The fastest way for you to receive your tax refund is to file electronically and choose direct deposit," the IRS says on its website.
On the other hand, declarations made in physical format, sent by post, may take up to 12 weeks to be processed.
Please note that some returns may require additional review and take longer to process when there are errors, missing information, or indications of identity theft or fraud, among other things.
Here is a reference schedule for refunds to taxpayers, depending on the date the documentation was sent and whether you requested to receive your refund through direct deposit or paper check:
If the online declaration was filed on January 29: the direct deposit could arrive on February 19 and, if it is a paper check, on February 26.
If you filed your online return on February 5th, direct deposit is expected on February 26th and, in the case of a check, on March 2nd.
If the online declaration was made on February 18: you will receive the deposit on March 11 and on March 18, if it is a check.
If you file online on March 3rd, expect the deposit by March 24th and, in the case of a check, by March 31st.
If you file your tax return online on March 12, your refund will be on April 3 (deposit) and April 10, if you file by check.
If the declaration is dated March 25, wait for the deposit until April 16, and if it is a check, its date is April 22.
Those who file online on April 15 will receive their deposit on June 6 and, if it is a check, on June 14.
IRS Refund Tracking
Taxpayers can check the status of their IRS refund through the “ Where's My Refund?” tool . This can track everything from the time the IRS receives the return until the refund is approved and sent.
