The IRS has announced that taxpayers who filed their returns early in March 2025 can expect their refunds between March 17 and 23. Refunds typically take 10 to 21 days to process, depending on various factors. The tax season began on January 27, 2025, with direct deposits starting in mid-February. Delays may occur due to tax credits, verification requirements, or errors in returns. Taxpayers can check their refund status on the IRS website by entering their social security number, name, and deposit amount. Refunds for those claiming certain credits may be delayed until mid-February.
