If you filed your 2024 federal tax return early this year, there’s good news: many taxpayers will receive their IRS tax refunds this week—June 9 to June 15, 2025. Here’s a detailed look at who’s getting paid, how much to expect, and what might delay yours.

Who’s Receiving Refunds This Week?

The IRS processes refunds based on the e‑file and direct deposit method, using a 21‑day average turnaround. Here’s a summary:

E‑filed by May 31 → Direct deposit arrives June 9–15
E‑filed earlier (May 1–15) → Many already got refunds May 22–June 4
E‑filed with paper check → Most mailed June 13–26
Paper‑filed returns → Typically processed slower, up to 8 weeks

Refund Schedule Overview

Filing Method	Accept Date	Delivery Method	Typical Arrival
E‑file	May 1–15	Direct deposit	May 22 – June 4
E‑file	May 1–15	Paper check	May 29 – June 11
E‑file	May 16–31	Direct deposit	June 9 – June 15
E‑file	May 16–31	Paper check	June 13 – June 26
Paper file	May 1–31	Direct deposit	June 26 – July 10

If your return was e‑filed and accepted by May 31, expect your direct‑deposit refund between June 9 and 15.

How Much Will You Get?

Refund amounts vary, but the average refund this June is around $2,939, up slightly from last year’s $2,869. Your specific refund depends on your:

Total withholding during the year
Tax credits claimed—like EITC or Child Tax Credit
Filing accuracy and deductions

What Affects Your Refund Timing?

While most refunds arrive within 3 weeks, some may face delays due to:

Errors or incomplete info on the return
Claims of EITC or Additional Child Tax Credit—these are held until mid‑February and processed slower
Identity verification issues or mismatches
Outstanding debt, like back taxes or child support—these may be offset
Paper filing or choosing a mailed check
IRS processing delays due to staffing or technical constraints

What to Do If You Haven’t Received Your Refund

Follow these steps if it’s past 21 days since your return was accepted:

Use the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov or the mobile IRS2Go app. You need:
- Your Social Security Number or ITIN
- Your filing status
- The exact refund amount
Check your status daily—it’s updated nightly.
If still processing after 21 days (for e‑file) or 6 weeks (for paper), and status doesn’t update, contact the IRS at 800‑829‑1954.
Respond immediately to IRS letters requesting info.

Tips for Getting Your Refund on Time

E‑file and use direct deposit—fastest method
Double-check bank and routing numbers
Avoid claiming unverified credits if possible
Respond promptly to any IRS requests
Avoid paper filing—choose e‑filing

As of June 9–15, 2025, many taxpayers who e‑filed and opted for direct deposit are receiving refunds—likely around $3,000 on average. Delays may still occur for errors, identity verification, or tax credits like EITC.

If you haven’t received your refund yet, check “Where’s My Refund?”, confirm your details, and allow at least 21 days before contacting the IRS.

Stay proactive—track your refund daily, fix any issues fast, and your refund should arrive as scheduled. Here’s to a smoother tax season and timely financial boost!

FAQs

When will I receive my tax refund?

If you e‑filed and chose direct deposit by May 31, expect your refund between June 9 and June 15.

What if I claimed EITC or Child Tax Credit?

Your refund may be delayed—these credits require extra review, which often pushes processing into late February, but may still affect timing in June.
