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.
To date, the IRS has issued nearly 40 million refunds worth $120 billion, with the average refund worth $2,800. This is slightly more than than last yearâs average refund at the same time. More than 96 percent of refunds have been paid through direct deposit directly into taxpayer accounts. The tax agency still estimates that 9 out of 10 refunds will go out within 21 days from when a return is filed.
