Chart Shows Estimated 2021 Income Tax Refund Dates

Source: cpapracticeadvisor.com - Dec 3, 2020

The IRS usually opens income tax season on the last Monday in January each year. Although the 2020 tax season was significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the IRS extended the deadline past the usual April 15 date, there is no indication thus far that the IRS will delay the 2021 tax season (when taxpayers report their income from the previous year).

The below chart shows an estimated timeline for when a taxpayer is likely to receive their refund, based on the information we have now, and using projections based on previous years. If your IRS income tax refund is delayed after you've filed, ask your tax professional, or simply use the "Where's My Refund?" tool on the IRS website. Or download the IRS2Go app to check your refund status.
