Updated: February 3rd 2025.

Income tax The filing season has just begun and many people receive their W2 and other tax forms. Now that the treasure is back on the mind, so are tax fusions! Will President Trump’s second period, new cabinet secretaries and other things affect the taxes you are filing now? Well, probably not this year, as the tax archive season is already underway (the IRS started accepting returns on January 27).

If you are wondering how long it may take to get your refund when you finally submit your tax return, you are not alone. In fact, for almost 15 years, the question we get most often has been: “When do I get my tax refund?“No one can give you an accurate answer, especially so far out, but we can give you a pretty good estimate based on a few factors and the 50-year-old collective experience of CPA Practice Advisor team.

Right now you want to know, “When can I expect to get my tax refund?” – Just roll down if you want to see the lightweight shortfusion date estimator.

First, remember that you have to wait to archive until you receive all your tax forms from your employer, as well as colleges, mortgage loans and other documents. If you have complex finances, got married or divorced, had a child, retired, bought or sold a house, own crypto or foreign assets, these will make things more complex. In these situations, you should definitely seek the advice of a tax professional like a CPA or EA to make sure you comply with tax law and also benefit from new or lesser -known tax deductions and credits that may benefit you.

But most Americans have pretty simple taxes: A job or two (form w-2), maybe a page concert (forms 1099 or 1099-NEC), some tax credits, maybe a priority loan or a few minor additions. The chart below is for you.

Short Answer: Depending on when taxpayers submit their returns, they can often receive their federal payment payment (check or direct deposit) within 10-21 days. If the IRS begins it directly deposited. It is without an expensive “tax loan” or other similar product.

If you have multiple types of income or certain assets or certain family situations, you will probably have to wait a little longer for all your tax documents to come in before you are able to archive. In special taxpayers may have to wait a little longer if they have:

• The earned income tax credit,
• Child tax credit,
• And a few other credits that require confirmation.

So here is the chart you were looking for. If the IRS announces changes in tax law or potential date changes, we will update this chart. And remember: this is only one discretion of when you can expect your refund.

Do not take these dates as accurate predictions as all taxpayers have different tax returns, documents, incomes and other situations. Note that the first column is when the IRS “accepts” your return, which may be 2-3 days after the day you have submitted it electronically and the IRS will notify you of the actual date the agency “accepted” your return (usually via text or e email). Sending in a paper return can result in 3-4 weeks of extra delay at the beginning of the process as the IRS will have to enter it in their computer systems manually.
