The 2025 tax return filing season started on January 27, with the IRS reporting over 13 million returns filed and more than 3 million refunds issued by January 31. A tax refund occurs when taxpayers overpay their taxes, which can mean too much withholding from their paychecks. Taxpayers are encouraged to use the IRS' Tax Withholding Estimator to adjust withholding for future tax years. The average tax refund for the 2024 season was $3,138, and refunds typically take up to 21 days if filed online. The Bureau of Fiscal Service provides further resources for taxpayers.
The 2025 tax season began on Jan. 27, with over 13 million returns filed by Jan. 31, indicating a robust start for taxpayers seeking refunds.
