One month into the tax filing season, the average federal tax refund was $3,120, the IRS said Thursday. 1  As of Feb. 20, the agency said it paid out $125 billion in refunds and processed about 50 million tax returns. 2  And a large majority of those returns - 83% - have qualified for a refund.
But for many taxpayers, tax time is also great â it's the one time of year when the government sends you a big check. At the end of last tax season, the average tax refund was $2,847. And by April 25, 2014, the IRS reports it had doled out over $224 billion in tax refunds. So if youâre like many Americans, youâre looking forward to that giant check.
