IRS refund payments may still be on their way in certain cases. Most taxpayers who filed before the April 15 deadline may have already received and even spent their tax refund in 2025. As a matter of fact, the latest date, by United States law, taxpayers can claim their federal income tax refund or a tax credit for a specific tax year is 2 years from the date you pay the tax or 3 years from the date you filed your tax return.
Besides, some taxpayers may have had extra time to pay and file their tax return because they are disaster victims. So, the IRS may send a refund to eligible taxpayers in June as well. Generally, the Internal Revenue Service delivers direct deposits within 21 days. Some Americans can even receive them within 8 days, but they must have filed an accurate, complete return, filed electronically, and requested a direct deposit instead of a paper check.

From June 5 through June 15, some taxpayers will be receiving their tax refund. On average, the direct deposits are worth $3,034 as of May 9, 2025. Depending on your personal circumstances, you may receive a lower or higher payment amount.
