The 2025 Oscar winners have already been announced in the United States, but the truth is that other Americans may win a more important prize in their lives, which the IRS will send them.
This other prize we’re talking about isn’t a prize; it’s a stimulus check they deserve for paying more taxes than they should have in the previous year.
And because this payment is not the same as the Social Security payment, we should double-check our eligibility for both checks, as they may arrive without issue.
This IRS check is a Tax Refund, and you can only receive it if you are eligible. To do so, a number of requirements must be met, but the most important thing to remember in this case is that we must always be able to check whether we have sent the necessary documentation in order to receive it.
In this way, it is mandatory to send the Tax Return. If we have already sent the Tax Return, the IRS could have us on the list of Americans who will receive the first wave of Tax Refund payments.
It is true that United States citizens have been receiving these payments since mid-February, but it is also true that there is still a long way to go before we can get them.
When will the 2025 Tax Refund payments from the IRS arrive?
If our Tax Return is accepted and we are eligible for a Tax Refund, we may receive the funds as soon as possible, depending on when we submit the documentation.
We can check this using the following sample calendar:
- January 27: direct deposit could be around due on February 17
- January 28: direct deposit could be around due on February 18
- January 29: direct deposit could be around due on February 19
- January 30: direct deposit could be around due on February 20
- January 31: direct deposit could be around due on February 21
- February 1: direct deposit could be around due on February 22
- February 2: direct deposit could be around due on February 23
- February 3: direct deposit could be around due on February 24
- February 4: direct deposit could be around due on February 25
- February 5: direct deposit could be around due on February 26
- February 6: direct deposit could be around due on February 27
- February 7: direct deposit could be around due on February 28
- February 8: direct deposit could be around due on March 1
- February 9: direct deposit could be around due on March 2
- February 10: direct deposit could be around due on March 3
- February 11: direct deposit could be around due on March 4
- February 12: direct deposit could be around due on March 5
- February 13: direct deposit could be around due on March 6
- February 14: direct deposit could be around due on March 7
- February 15: direct deposit could be around due on March 8
- February 16: direct deposit could be around due on March 9
- February 17: direct deposit could be around due on March 10
Remember that these dates are not exact, but rather indicative. The chosen collection method also has a significant impact, so Direct Deposit is the best option for receiving this payment as soon as possible.
If we haven’t received the payment by the end of March but have sent the documentation on time, we should use the IRS tool to find out where our refund is.
