In the week ended March 27th, the average tax refund rose to $3,521, marking an 11.1% increase from 2025's $3,170, according to the IRS. The agency has issued 62.9m refunds so far this year, compared to 61.5m at the same time last year. Direct deposit refunds average $3,512, up from $3,236 in 2025, with total refunds reaching $221bn, up from $195bn. Despite this increase, the number of returns filed and processed has decreased by 1.3% and 1.1%, respectively. The rise in refunds is partly due to changes in the tax code from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which eliminated taxes on overtime and tips and increased the standard deduction. The White House anticipates average refunds will exceed $1,000 in 2026, although they have not yet reached that level. Taxpayers must file their 2025 returns by April 15th 2026, to avoid penalties.
