The last day to claim an IRS tax refund<\/strong> will be April 15, 2025. Bear in mind that it is mandatory to pay any tax liability<\/strong> before the due date. If you do not pay on time<\/strong>, you may have to face a fee or penalty. Therefore, you will need to pay interest<\/strong> and it will be negative for your finances. Before this happens, pay all your taxes<\/strong> or agree to a payment<\/strong> plan (which may also have interest).<\/p>\n

The good news is that both average refund amounts<\/strong> and direct deposit refund amounts<\/strong> are higher in 2025. One of the reasons why this may be possible is because the IRS has updated some tax credit<\/strong> amounts. So, this may have pushed up amounts. What is more, the Agency<\/strong> has also delivered more money than in 2024. A total of $195.189<\/strong> billion has been refunded, up from $185.641 billion.<\/p>\n

IRS average refund amounts and deposits<\/h2>\n

As of March 28, 2025, the average refund amount<\/strong> has increased by 3.9% if compared to the amount on March 29, 2024. A taxpayer can receive on average $3,170<\/strong>, up from the lower amount of $3,050 in 2024. The average direct deposit amount is $3,236<\/strong> in 2025. It is true that average payments are becoming closer to the 2024 amounts but they are still considerably higher.<\/p>\n

If you are receiving this year an average direct deposit<\/strong>, it is about $66 more than an average refund payment. To make sure you make the most of your 2024 tax return, check your tax credit eligibility.<\/p>\n

The IRS<\/strong> offers a great deal of tax credits<\/strong> like the EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit), the Child Tax Credit, or even the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. Hire a tax professional to get rid of this tax paperwork or look for help if you qualify for VITA or TCE.<\/p>\n
