IRS direct deposit may still be arriving for some taxpayers, which are $3,034 on average as of May 9, 2025. Some citizens have qualified for the June 16 deadline automatically because they are outside the United States. Others may have received a larger window to file because they are victims of a natural disaster. Whatever the reason is, if you filed your 2024 tax return on June 16, 2025, the Agency may send your refund within 21 days.
Of course, if your tax return is accurate, complete, and you request a direct deposit and file electronically, you may get your payment in less time. Sometimes it may only take 8 or 10 days. The IRS also warns that not all banks or financial institutions have the same processing times. For example, it is advisable to wait for 5 days to see the refund in your bank account.
