2025 Tax Refund Schedule and Calendar: When You Will Get Your Refund: Where’s My Tax Refund?

This article includes an easy reference chart that taxpayers can use to estimate how soon they may get their income tax refund.

Isaac M. O'Bannon

Updated: Feb. 12, 2025.

The income tax filing season is just starting, and many people are receiving their W2 and other tax forms. Now that taxes are back on the mind, so are tax refunds! Will President Trump’s second term, new cabinet secretaries and other things affect the taxes you’re filing now? Well, probably not this year, since tax filing season is already underway. Although it is possible that some IRS hiring issues could mildly affect refund processing times.

If you’re wondering how long it may take to get your refund when you finally submit your income tax return, you’re not alone. In fact, for almost 15 years, the question we get the most often has been: “When will I get my tax refund?” Nobody can give you an exact answer, especially this far out, but we can give you a pretty good estimate based on a few factors, and the 50-year collective experience of the CPA Practice Advisor team.

Right now, you want to know: “When can I expect to get my tax refund?” – Just scroll down if you want to see the easy chart refund date estimator.

First, keep in mind that you need to wait to file until you receive all of your tax forms from your employer, as well as colleges, mortgages and other documents. If you have complex finances, got married or divorced, had a child, retired, bought or sold a house, own crypto or foreign assets, those will make things more complex. In these situations, you should definitely seek the advice of a tax professional like a CPA or EA in order to make sure you are complying with tax laws and also taking advantage of new or lesser known tax deductions and credits that could benefit you.

But most Americans have pretty simple taxes: A job or two (form W-2), maybe a side gig (forms 1099 or 1099-NEC), some child tax credits, maybe a mortgage or a few minor additions. The chart below is for you.

w2-form-300x2001

Short Answer: Depending on when taxpayers file their returns, they can often receive their federal tax refund payment (check or direct deposit) within 10-21 days. If the IRS starts accepting returns at the end of January, as is usual, that means that someone who is able to file right away and are a due a refund, can often see the refund as early as mid- or late February if they have it direct deposited. That’s without an expensive “tax refund loan” or other similar product.

If you have multiple forms of income or certain assets, or certain family situations, you will likely have to wait a bit longer for all of your tax documents to come in before you are able to file. In particular taxpayers might have to wait a little longer if they have:

  • The Earned Income Tax Credit,
  • Child Tax Credit,
  • And a few other credits that require confirmation.

So, here’s the chart you were looking for. If the IRS announces any changes to tax law or potential date changes, we will update this chart. And remember: This is only an estimate of when to expect your refund.

Do not take these dates as exact predictions, as all taxpayers have different tax returns, documents, incomes, and other situations. Note that the first column is when the IRS “accepts” your return, which can be 2-3 days after the day you submitted it electronically, and the IRS will notify you of the actual date on which the agency “accepted” your return (usually by text or email). Mailing in a paper return can result in 3-4 weeks’ extra delay at the beginning of the process, since the IRS will need to enter it into their computer systems manually.

Estimated 2025 IRS Income Tax Return Chart

If the IRS Accepts an E-Filed Return By:Then Direct Deposit refund may be received as
early as 10 days after e-file accepted.
(E-filed, but paper check mailed apx. 1 week after that):

** = Returns with EITC or CTC may have refunds delayed until March to verify credits.

*** = Filing during peak season (late March through April 15) can result in slightly longer waits.

Apr. 28May 9 (May 16)
May 5May 16 (May 23)
May 12May 23 (May 30)

If your IRS income tax refund is delayed after you’ve filed, ask your tax professional, or simply use the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on the IRS website to check the status of your refund. Or you can download the IRS2Go app to check your refund status. It’s a good idea to e-file your tax return as soon as you have all of your tax documents (like your W2, 1099s, mortgage and student loan interest, and other items) as e-filing generally ensures a faster turnaround time.

Several factors can determine when a taxpayer might receive his or her tax refund, including:

  • How early the return is filed;
  • If the taxpayer is claiming certain credits (especially EITC and CTC);
  • Whether the return is e-filed or sent by mail;
  • Whether the taxpayer has existing debts to the federal government.

Be Safe – Hire a Professional

Taxpayers who use a professional, such as a CPA or EA, can ask that professional for the estimated date of their tax refund, and they can be more confident that their taxes have been properly (and legally) filed. (And you can often save, or get a bigger refund, by using a professional.)

There are also apps for Apple, Android and other devices that help track refund status.

What If You Can’t File Your Income Taxes By April 15?

Any taxpayer who can’t file their return by April 15 for any reason (such as they don’t have all of the paperwork needed in order to file their taxes) can easily file an extension form, â€śForm 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.” (Link to IRS Form 4868.) Any tax pro can help you with this, as well. This will give the taxpayer until October 15, 2025, to file the federal tax return. No reason or excuse is needed to receive this extension, and as the title states, it is automatically granted. Be sure to check the extension rules for your particular state as the extension date may differ from the date for the federal return extension.

Note that if a person will owe taxes with the tax return, it is still that taxpayer’s obligation to pay those taxes by April 15, 2025, even if an extension to file has been requested. A tax professional can assist with this payment process. Those who are due a refund generally only need to file the extension request by April 15, 2025. Any tax professional and most do-it-yourself tax programs can perform this task.

thank you. can i get taxes done with a cpa. or volunteers to help

Katerin RochetJanuary 24 2025 at 4:31 pm

Not true my taxes got accepted in the 22nd This calendar is off

JenniferJanuary 24 2025 at 5:33 pm

I did my taxes yesterday 01/23/2025 and just got email notification from TurboTax stating that my Federal return was approved/accepted on 02/24/2025 which is today... So. How does that work when the IRS doesn't start accepting until 01/27/2025?

Tara MJanuary 24 2025 at 6:12 pm

My taxes got accepted already according to Turbotax. I received an email for both my state and federal taxes saying they had been accepted.

Kristal DarnellJanuary 24 2025 at 11:54 pm

My federal was accepted January 17th 2025

Elise McGillJanuary 25 2025 at 12:19 am

It looks like the IRS is on their a game this year with my return being accepted today which was Friday January 24th. Off to a good start let's keep those vibrations rollin. #IRS

DouglasJanuary 25 2025 at 11:18 am

Just because it was approved doesn't me they are processing it. Approved just means they check your social and other info. They won't start working on your taxes until the 27th

Your grandmaJanuary 25 2025 at 11:23 am

The irs accepted it but will not process it till they open....

SKDJanuary 25 2025 at 8:44 pm

The returns were likely just accepted by the tax service that you used, but they won't go into the IRS until Monday Jan 27th 2025. And for the gentleman who asked if he could get help with his taxes, check the IRS free file section, and if you fit the income and age requirements, you can file your federal for free, and sometimes there is a charge for preparing your state return, but it's usually pretty inexpensive. Some are even free for the state too, but not all of them are. It's better than spending a couple hundred dollars, if you only have to spend around $25!

Meghan BrownJanuary 26 2025 at 7:28 am

My Taxes were accepted early this year, but it also states that they will not start being processed until January 27th.

Mrs.TJanuary 27 2025 at 9:56 pm

Everything seems to be going with ease this year upon checking of my transcripts, I got some good dates. I will keep you guys updated. I know that they initially started processing on the 27th by the way, my E.D.D is February 11th

MelanieJanuary 28 2025 at 4:29 am

After I filed my refund and it was accepted on the 17th it told me my expected day to receive my refund would be the seventh a couple days later I checked it and instead of the seventh it just says refund delivery. Does anyone know why?

ChrisJanuary 28 2025 at 9:38 am

You can prepare and file your Federal and State taxes for 100% free using Cashapp which is a product of Intuit, the same company that owns TurboTax! I have been using it for over three years now and have never had any issues with the service and they offer free Audit Support and Max Refund Guarantee!! Just thought I would put that information out there for the person who was inquiring on getting assistance with their tax preparation!! - Chris

DannyJanuary 29 2025 at 1:07 pm

IRS is playing games, they must have 1 employee doing tax refunds for the entire USA, they accepted my taxes electronically on Feb. 12, 2024 for direct deposit and I still have NOT RECEIVED MY REFUND!!!!!!! and it's almost Feb/2025 now, total nonsense. You can't talk to anyone at the IRS and if you do, they put you ON HOLD AND THE CALL DROPS AND HANGS UP, so worthless to even call, IRS is bigger crooks than anyone can imagine. I will never overpay the IRS again while I'm still working or alive, I'll file my taxes from now on and owe the IRS for not paying enough taxes and file for IRS payment forgiveness the rest of my life, I'm done overpaying for the rest of my lifetime.

Christi L ShackerfordJanuary 29 2025 at 1:20 pm

I did mine on January,27,2025 and the IRS expected and gave me a Do Date of 02/17/2025

chrisJanuary 29 2025 at 3:16 pm

I electronically filed both my state and federal taxes last night through Free Tax USA. It took 15 minutes after submission(s) and received 2 separate emails stating that my state and federal filings were accepted by the IRS. The IRS is efficient this year. I hope my refund will be in my bank account by next week.

MichelleJanuary 29 2025 at 6:26 pm

The Reason for the irs accepting returns early is they do a test batch run but was only until the 23rd so anyone after the 23rd would be accepted on the 27th

DamienneJanuary 30 2025 at 9:10 am

E-Filed my taxes thru HR Block on 1/13 and am still waiting for them to be accepted. Beginning to feel like going through "professional" services like theirs just aren't worth it if they are going to get held up not to mention it cost me over $100 to have both Federal and State done and filed.

MaleikJanuary 31 2025 at 2:20 am

I filed my taxes on Jan 21 and they got accepted on the 22nd. I've received my state taxes on the 29th but I'm still waiting for my federal taxes to be deposited.

IrmaFebruary 1 2025 at 9:21 am

i did my taxes January 25,2025 will anyone knows an exact day i will get mine

IrmaFebruary 1 2025 at 9:40 am

mine got processed on January 27,2025 but nothing has not changed yet when do yall think i might get mine i did my taxes January 25, 2025

Francine MarshallFebruary 1 2025 at 7:59 pm

So I paid to get it’s five days early It said I was getting my Feb tax on the 7th but now it changed to return delivery….i got approved on the 17th of January and my state tax approved on the 27th does any one no if we count weekends ?

Reann R LunaFebruary 2 2025 at 8:02 am

Well congrats to you all for getting your w-2s in early and getting your taxes filed. I received my last W-2 on the 31st of January went home I filed my taxes through IRS direct federal and state was free and within 10 minutes after submitting I received an email that my return has been accepted and that was the fastest I ever seen

PatriciaFebruary 2 2025 at 8:27 am

To Danny that has been waiting a year for return. My son was also waiting for a year. And he's military. So I got my state senator involved, and his return is in his bank account

Byron A Perry Betty r perryFebruary 2 2025 at 12:23 pm

Accepted 1/3/2025

Tenequia LefearFebruary 2 2025 at 12:29 pm

Just check your irs transcripts it will have a date mines says 2/19 but it usually comes a week before that date for me

Izzeldin MohammedFebruary 3 2025 at 4:38 pm

Yes

BrittneyFebruary 3 2025 at 11:48 pm

Mine where accepted on the 17th but nothing has changed dose anyone know why this could be

TriciaFebruary 4 2025 at 1:37 am

Okay....so why were my taxes accepted on January 16th???🤔

CindyFebruary 4 2025 at 6:14 am

I filed with H&R Block on 1/24 was accepted on 1/27! H&R Block is scam, the people they have working there upcharge and they messed our taxes up and by messing our taxes up cause they hardly speak or understand English so they get thing mos construed our taxes were rejected 2 times because Juliana in eustis fl. Store has no clue what she is doing. She claimed we had marketplace insurance and that’s not true so we were rejected cause they wanted proof, can’t give them something that not true! Than she kept getting kicked off our account for some reason while she was doing our taxes. Than she said she filed and did the advance which we have been approved for, the last 6 years at hr block in Ohio! We got denied… guess why, she didn’t file our taxes when she was kicked out the last time she said she filed, no she didn’t she went on the next day at 3:04 and tried to refile but couldn’t we got a text and than we called her boss Jeff and he fixed it but we have to go through this all the while paying $460! We will do our free through irs next year. Just a warning about my own experience with hr block in eustis Florida! Good luck everyone IRS is busy and have a lot of work ahead of them.

SerenaFebruary 4 2025 at 8:11 am

EIC and an additional EIC credits path Vt it's site clearly states March 3rd they will release taxes returns so don't get overly excited and accepted isn't the same as approved. Try going to where is my refund to track your refund on the IRS website and you can do the same with your state refund go to your state and say where is my refund and put it in and you can track your refund from there or check your transcripts

Heather HoustonFebruary 4 2025 at 12:21 pm

I done my taxes on Jan 22 they got accepted on Jan 24 . Now just waiting for them release them I always get them on Feb 13 or somewhere close to that date. H and r block has always been good to me .

Diana CervantesFebruary 4 2025 at 1:09 pm

My said the I have to wait 21 if I filled electronic but nothing and yes h&block charge alot and they sell you a insurance for alot money but they don't do nothing to help you if you have a problem with the irs

HunterFebruary 4 2025 at 3:30 pm

I filed with H&R Block, Des Moines, Iowa on the 11th and mine was accepted on the 21st also have earned income tax credit or whatever those credits are for the children is the IRS accepted but it’s been since the 11th and I still haven’t received anything yet - anybody have any opinions or answers on this?

Help deskFebruary 4 2025 at 8:58 pm

YES YOUR RETURN CAN BE EARLY accepted. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A GOOD THING! IT MEAN YOU HAVE BEEN PLACED IN WHATS CALLED THE TEST BATCH. The use it to test their system and to make sure things are running smoothly. But for those in the test batch it means you will more than likely have a lot of trouble getting your refund approved. Being accepted is one thing but you still have to go through processing and then get your refund approved. Look up irs test batch for more information. GOOD LUCK! YOUR GOING TO NEED IT.

Felecia Y WalkerFebruary 5 2025 at 4:42 am

What can you do if you haven't received your w2 and can't contact the company's HR department?

Donald PetersonFebruary 5 2025 at 2:11 pm

CourtneyFebruary 5 2025 at 4:58 pm

I did my taxes on the 23rd they was accepted on the 24th..the dest. Date I'd February 14th...but when I went and checked calender days it says February 7th with February 14th in ()...what does that mean

HeidiFebruary 6 2025 at 3:35 am

Mine was accepted on Jan 17th. Turbo tax says I should have it by the 8th. It's app says it's not approved so I have no clue

MsThomasFebruary 8 2025 at 12:35 am

I believe it's after February 22 dates will be available for eitc ,so yes people that don't have certain credits (eitc) for sure can receive date or refund before then

Laura HubbardFebruary 9 2025 at 2:34 pm

I fileddo H&R Block I have the unearned income tax credit and the child tax creditI got accepted early like the 12th or somethingit's been unacceptedforever now. so I'm not sure how to check my transcripts but I'm going to and I'll keep you updated. alsoalso last year they said that we weren't going to receive our taxes the people with child tax credit until like the end of February and we got ours on February 14th so I don't knowdoes anybody who has the child tax credit and who went through H&R Block and has it under an income tax credit have a date when they're deposit will show up yet

Genevieve EstradaFebruary 11 2025 at 1:39 pm

I have done my taxes on tax act on the 24th of jan and it got Federal Electronic Return Accepted and i still have not gotten my taxes yet and when i went to where is my refund and it still have not been approved and last year i got mine lest then a week :(

preciousFebruary 13 2025 at 7:52 pm

Had my taxes done professionally January the 21st, 5 days later received the advance part that I was approved for, yet its now Feb 13th and I havent been approved from what I can see on the irstogo app. And my tax preparer tells me distributions want happen til the 27th of Feb and this is so frustrating. Im not understanding how I get approved for the advance but havent gotten any other approval or refund

Sweetie1973February 13 2025 at 11:08 pm

We did ours the 29 of January IRS accepted them February 1 st. And still nothing. Idk. But please if anyone has a clue on there schedule. And HAND R Block charged us 425.00 crazy

Sweetie1973February 13 2025 at 11:11 pm

RayFebruary 14 2025 at 8:05 am

I filed and was accepted on 1/21 and a refund date by 2/11. I’m set for direct deposit but im still waiting and irs tracker can’t find me in the system. Smdh

KLoveFebruary 14 2025 at 8:50 am

PLEASE READ IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!! You could file early but the IRS DID NOT!!! Start accepting the taxes until the 27th of January. Your taxes was just sitting until the date, once they started on the 27th of January you can now go back and check you status of the refund. Child tax credit has changed from the 25th of February to March 3rd, or the end of February. Please be patient, not a worker but I check every year due to changes. They will start issuing the refund in 21 days as stated unless there is an issue with the taxes.

AlyciaFebruary 14 2025 at 9:06 am

Read every comment. I filed on the 23rd, approved on 24th. Given a DD of 2/14 (today) on Turbo tax using the Credit Karma card (as they state to get return 5 days early- my 2nd year using this card for refund deposit) No refund yet. IRS tracker doesn't even say approved yet. Every site I read simultaneously states that if you filed for EIC or the other child credit- refunds will be delayed and Feb 22nd is when the status will show true dates of deposits. Hoping it happens within the week. Feb 17th is a holiday and they dont count weekends for deposit dates...don't hold your breath!

AmandaFebruary 14 2025 at 1:24 pm

My tax transcripts don't say nothing telling no taxes have been filed yet but the IRS except my taxes on January 28 2025 my tax account said I should be getting a 14 digit confirmation number in the mail I must enter before my taxes will be finished processing so I called and they said I will have wait for that paper and they will not be sending them out until after the 21 of February and it can take up to 3 weeks to receive them and a additional 3 weeks to process if they don't find anything else they may need from but each letter they send out can't take up till three weeks to get ...my problem is they have done something like this to me every year for 4 years now I do get my taxes till August September most of the time and I get everything I filed for I just don't get why the keep messing with me ...

Kimmy spearsFebruary 14 2025 at 1:44 pm

I filed mine on the 1/21 got accepted on the 22 but now it's feb14 and still nothing

Angela MillerFebruary 14 2025 at 2:58 pm

Angela MillerFebruary 14 2025 at 3:04 pm

SamanthaFebruary 14 2025 at 5:21 pm

Susie SmithFebruary 14 2025 at 6:41 pm

Tiwan A MeadeFebruary 14 2025 at 10:08 pm

Just wanted to know when will I receive my refund

Destiney madrigalFebruary 15 2025 at 7:58 pm

You guys omg I em a high school drop out no high school diploma and I have read over these comments omg it makes me laugh IRS DONT START EXCEPTING REFUNDS TIL JAN 27 OK SO WHEN YOU DO THEM With TURBO OR ANY OTHER TAX SITE THEY DO NOT APPROVE YOUR TAXES THEY ACCEPT THEM and SEND THEM TO IRS SO THIS ESTIMATED SCHEDULE IS RIGHT OMG PLEASE STOP BEING DUMB.

Mona KingFebruary 16 2025 at 9:19 pm

We be income tax

AndiswaFebruary 17 2025 at 9:56 am

Thanks for the information regarding Turbotax filing, very helpful!

Jonathan Patrick CarswellFebruary 17 2025 at 2:27 pm

I filed my taxes on 02/02/2025 and still waiting for my refund. My daughter filed her taxes on 02/06/2025 and got the refund on 02/12/2025. How is it possible?

David V.February 18 2025 at 5:59 am

Dates are estimated broadly in order to prevent anxiety and calls that the IRS deems unnecessary. More likely than not everyone should get their refunds in less than 21 days if there is nothing that places holds on your return. Just disregard any date provided you and expect to get it between 10-21 days. After the 21 days lapse then call the IRS and inquire about it. This is applicable year in year out for most of us. Oh, I think it's time to sue H.R. Block. They're just waiting for a class action but since their business is so lucrative they don't care. by the time they are sued it's already paid for. and they welcome Class Actions. they can wash their hands in one go. Consumers/victims get pennies and a 3rd of it will be given to the REPS. Lead litigants/victims will get an extra 7000. Want to fix the predatory practices? everyone get in line and sue individually.

SaraFebruary 18 2025 at 7:58 am

I files mine Jan 16th got approved by the 21st. Got both emails accepting them get a date of 2-11 that I should have mine still nothing. What day will they actually be sending out people's that have child tax credit or earned income credits? Bc I still don't have any updates

KasiFebruary 18 2025 at 10:17 pm

I filed with TurboTax on 1/27 and still not even an approval. They are so quick to take our money but They take their sweet time giving what we're owed! The IRS needs to be updated and drained.

William SmootFebruary 19 2025 at 1:05 am

I got accepted on the 17th February 2025 I'm scared to check the website because I just got my check from last year about a week ago and it was only for $123.49 the people that did my taxes JB accounting in Mobile Alabama took 4,000 everybody please remember to read the fine print they would charge you anything and you were getting nothing please read the fine print

RyanFebruary 19 2025 at 7:08 am

It's the 19th of February and STILL NO update from my tax return! This is absolutely ridiculous!! I've never had to wait soo long for my money. The refund checker still says received and nothing else. Absolutely unacceptable

ColleenFebruary 19 2025 at 9:21 pm

Well it seems like WE ARE ALL still waiting. The only person who seemed to get their tax refund is Johnathans daughter which I'm sorry, I find that hard to believe seeing that everyone here filed end of January and are still waiting. His daughter liked in Feb and got it back in a week🤔 I filed 2/5/25 and still waiting too. I've NEVER waited this long. I've always gotten back a week later. Guess it's true, refunds won't be sent out till end of February. Like people say, they are quick to take your money but slow on giving you what's owed! Good luck to all of us!

Emily joy ColeFebruary 20 2025 at 7:39 am

I've filed on January 29th 2025 and I'm still waiting on my federal also as well and it said February 19th 2025

ValFebruary 20 2025 at 12:06 pm

My dad and I both got accepted Feb 6th. We both claimed dependents. He received his feb. 14 via direct deposit with no updates on anything until it was sent. I’m still waiting on mine and where’s my refund says received, my tax transcript says I haven’t filed. So frustrating when every tax return and every website you look for help from says something different.

SarakFebruary 20 2025 at 3:49 pm

I filed mine January 27th an got an email that it accepted january 31st . Then my h an r block tracker Said I should get my funds the 21st ( tomorrow) we will see .

CindyFebruary 20 2025 at 11:23 pm

I filed 1/27/24 and had a schedule C and earned income credit and it was accepted within 24 hours. Refund says still processing. I paid the $40 to get it 5 days earlier too My friend filed a week later with EITC and received her refund this week on turbo tax and paid the $40 to get if 5 days early too!..Wondering if it is because I had a schedule C it is taking longer but I see others are still waiting as well. Soo weird!

Lady TruittFebruary 21 2025 at 12:54 am

If I filed before the opening date why hasn’t federal came back yet???

HayleyFebruary 21 2025 at 7:21 am

Filed on January 25th, It was accepted the 27th. Still waiting on that refund and it's been almost a month. We have the child tax credit but it was never an issue before this year.

I filed on TurboTax on January 20th, IRS accepted it January 22nd, and my status on where's my refund changed this morning to accepted and says it will be in my account February 24th. I have EIC on mine so that's why it took longer. If you have that credit or the childcare credit, they legally cannot issue your refund until mid to late February, as per the PATH law. Oh, just btw, I used places like HR Block for years paying hundreds of dollars because I thought that was the only way to get a refund advance. Then I met my now fiance and he said he couldn't believe I was paying that much and introduced me to TurboTax, where the $29 fee is taken out of your refund so no upfront costs and I also got an advance of $750! I went from paying $627 a couple years ago to paying $600 less! I love my man! And... TurboTax! Lol

I filed on 1/27 with the eitc, was given a estimate refund date of 2/17. Then i received the email telling me because of the eitc, i would now have to wait until the 23rd. its now the 24th and still nothing. irs refund tracker doesnt even say accepted. ive never had to wait this long for MY money in my life

Hayley, historically this has always been the case. I have the EITC and the ACTC coming as part of my refund, and every year I file at the end of January and every hear their message is the same on the website: "The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act requires the IRS to hold refunds for taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) until after February 14, in order to prevent tax fraud." which means you would receive it mid to late February, which means you'll get it anytime before Friday 2/28.

I have the EIC and it said on the IRS website that most early filers would see an update on the Where's My Refund tool by February 22nd. This is now the 24th and nothing. What's going on?!!!

I filed mones and it was accepted on February 12 all it’s saying is that it was accepted. It will be 21 days on March 6. You can never talk to a live person

NettaFebruary 27 2025 at 4:54 pm

This is the longest I’ve ever had to wait for taxes. I filed on 2/3/25 & still nothing. This is absurd.

Martha DavisFebruary 27 2025 at 10:29 pm

I filed with Free tax USA and it was accepted on the 13th of February but I have not seen a update or anything from anybody.

I had to mail my taxes in, (personal reasons) i mailed them on March 3rd. how long do you think before they will show up as received on the IRS "Where's my refund"?

I live in SC but my taxes were prepared by a preparer in Fl this year, I called to see why I have not received my refund yet, I was advised there is a hold because I claimed hurricane Debby & Helene losses. please help me to understand this..
