IRS tax refunds will start arriving in thousands of homes in the United States during the first days of April. For many recipients, these payments may coincide with other income, allowing for better management of the family budget at this time of year.
The IRS sends out tax refunds according to each taxpayer’s situation, so the exact arrival date varies. However, if you have already filed your tax return and everything is in order, it is very likely that your refund is on its way. Regardless of the amount, getting this payment can be a significant financial relief for many citizens.
Although some Americans will not get a very large refund, the fact is that this payment reflects the taxes paid during the previous year. The IRS will ensure that each eligible refund is processed and sent out fairly and efficiently.
When do IRS refunds arrive in April?
The IRS does not have a fixed schedule for sending out tax refunds, but it is possible to estimate the dates when payments might arrive if the return was filed in February or early March. If you have submitted all your documentation correctly, your refund could arrive in the first few days of April.
Below are the estimated dates for tax refunds for those who filed their returns between mid-February and early March:
- February 15: direct deposit estimated for April 5
- February 16: direct deposit estimated for April 6
- February 17: direct deposit estimated for April 7
- February 18: direct deposit estimated for April 8
- February 19: direct deposit estimated for April 9
- February 20: direct deposit estimated for April 10
- February 21: direct deposit estimated for April 11
- February 22: direct deposit estimated for April 12
- February 23: direct deposit estimated for April 13
If you sent your tax return a while ago and you still haven’t got your refund, you can use the IRS tool “Where’s My Refund” to check the status of your payment. This tool is very useful for finding out if your refund has already been processed or if there is a problem with your tax return.
Remember that refunds tend to arrive faster if you chose direct deposit as your payment method. Also, if you filed your tax return electronically, the IRS money could reach your bank account in less time. Keep an eye on your bank or the IRS tool to find out the exact date you’ll get your refund.
