IRS Tax Refund Schedule 2025: As tax season continues in the United States, many taxpayers are eagerly awaiting the refunds they expect to receive from the IRS. The IRS has shared that most refunds are processed within 10 to 21 days after the tax return is filed, but this can vary depending on a few factors, such as how the tax return is filed, when it’s filed, and the tax credits claimed.
Tax Layer, a specialized website on taxes, explains that the IRS follows a set schedule to send refunds. For example, electronic returns are processed more quickly than paper returns, which means that taxpayers who file electronically will usually get their refunds faster. Choosing to receive the refund by direct deposit instead of a paper check can also speed up the process.

However, some tax credits, like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC), may cause delays in getting the refund. Even with these possible delays, many people are looking forward to receiving their refunds, which can provide a welcome boost to their finances.
For taxpayers who filed their tax returns electronically between March 31 and April 6 and chose direct deposit, the refund will likely arrive between April 21 and 27, 2025. This group of taxpayers can expect their payments to be deposited into their bank accounts during this window.

While the exact timing of refunds may vary, these general guidelines give taxpayers an idea of when to expect their extra income.
