IRS is Reporting Bigger Tax Returns

(Undated) — You may be seeing a larger tax refund this year. According to the IRS, early filing data shows the average tax refund is up nearly eleven percent. The data shows that through February 6th, the average refund has reached two-thousand-two hundred-ninety dollars compared to two-thousand-sixty five-dollars at the same point in 2025. They say the average is expected to rise in the weeks ahead since the current figures do not include millions of Earned Income Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit refunds. Tax cuts included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act are projected to boost refunds for millions of taxpayers this year.
