In the midst of tax season in the United States, thousands of taxpayers who have not yet filed their tax return have begun to wonder, how much money will I receive as a refund?
According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the process of receiving tax returns has started "slowly" this year. Compared to the same season in 2024, there has been a 7.7% decrease in tax obligations.
Nevertheless, despite this factor, the IRS itself points out that, up to now, average refunds of 2,065 dollars have been issued during the first two weeks of this year's tax season. This figure also represents an 18.6% increase compared to refunds issued during the same period in 2024.
Despite how beneficial it may seem, the truth is that filing your 2024 tax return does not result in a larger amount of money unless the tax obligation is lower than the taxes paid.
Nevertheless, according to the IRS, a large number of taxpayers usually file their tax returns during the early weeks of tax season because they may receive their refund in less time.
As stipulated by the IRS, the most important thing is to file your tax return before the deadline, which is April 15.
According to the IRS, the average time to receive a refund can range from 48 hours to a couple of weeks after taking this action. Therefore, the agency recommends filing digitally, as the refund process will be faster.

If you file by mail, there may be delays of several days. As for those taxpayers requesting refunds for income from work or the additional child tax credit, they should also anticipate delays according to the IRS.
As disclosed by the agency, these individuals may receive their refunds before March 3 as long as they file online, opt to receive the refund directly, and encounter no issues with their tax return.
To check the status of a refund, the IRS has enabled, on its official website, the "Where's My Refund?" tool, which allows the taxpayer to know the status of their refund once they have filed.
