As a matter of fact, the average refund amounts are much higher than in the previous year. Actually, the average refund amount is 3.3% higher than in 2024. This is the latest update as of April 18, 2025. In 2025, taxpayers receive<strong> $2,942<\/strong> on average for their refund, up from $2,850.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Direct deposits<\/strong> are still higher than average refund amounts in 2025. However, they have not increased so much if compared to the average direct deposits issued by the <strong>IRS<\/strong> last year. An interesting fact is that the increase in the average direct deposit is very similar to the Social Security COLA increase for 2025, <strong>2.6%<\/strong> while COLA is just 2.5%.<\/p>\n<h2>IRS Estimated Payment Schedule<\/h2>\n<p>For your information, there are no fixed payment dates for 2024 tax refunds. The <strong>IRS<\/strong> cannot confirm when your tax refund <strong>payment<\/strong> will be delivered if you qualify for one because there are different factors. For example, when you see a sent date, it could take up to five days to receive your money due to banks&#8217; processing times.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is possible to know when a <strong>tax refund<\/strong> could possibly arrive if you meet these requirements. Generally, <strong>IRS tax refunds<\/strong> are delivered within 21 days if you filed electronically, requested direct deposit, and submitted an accurate, complete, and signed tax return.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 1: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 10<\/li>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 2: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 11<\/li>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 3: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 12<\/li>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 4: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 13<\/li>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 5: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 14<\/li>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 6: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 15<\/li>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 7: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 16<\/li>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 8: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 17<\/li>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 9: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 18<\/li>\n<li>Estimated tax refund payment on May 10: taxpayers filed their tax return on April 19<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Which taxpayers will receive a payment from the IRS in May?<\/h2>\n<p>Actually, this will depend on your tax liability and the tax credits you qualify for. The <strong>IRS<\/strong> always pays what each taxpayer qualifies for if they claim all the tax credits they may be entitled to.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is important to take into account that <strong>$3,023 is just an average direct deposit<\/strong> amount. So, the Agency will make a tax refund payment made to measure for each taxpayer.<\/p>\n<p>The thing is, you should check your eligibility for any tax credit available. Here are the most common ones:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Child Tax Credit<\/strong> (CTC) \u2013 For taxpayers with qualifying children.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Earned Income Tax Credit<\/strong> (EITC) \u2013 For low- to moderate-income workers.<\/li>\n<li>American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) \u2013 For undergraduate education expenses.<\/li>\n<li>Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC) \u2013 For postsecondary education costs.<\/li>\n<li>Child and Dependent Care Credit \u2013 For childcare or dependent care expenses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saver\u2019s Credit<\/strong> \u2013 For contributions to retirement savings accounts.<\/li>\n<li>Premium Tax Credit (PTC) \u2013 For health insurance purchased through the Marketplace.<\/li>\n<li>Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit \u2013 For qualified energy-efficient home improvements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adoption Credit<\/strong> \u2013 For qualified adoption expenses.<\/li>\n<li>Foreign Tax Credit \u2013 For taxes paid to a foreign country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IRS keeps updating the average refund amounts during the 2025 Tax Season.
