*Note: Furthermore, the above given IRS tax refund chart is unofficial and is prepared based on previous years. The IRS currently no more publishes these tax refund schedules due to their auditing process.
How to use the tax refund table?
- The first column from the left side explains when your tax return will be accepted by IRS.
- The second column from the left side will explain the expected date when IRS will approve your tax refund.
- The third column explains what date is expected for receiving of tax refund via direct deposit
- The last column explains what date is expected for receiving of tax refund via paper check
When you e-file your taxes, you will receive a confirmation from the IRS that your tax return is accepted. However, if you did not file your tax returns through e-filing then this table will be helpful for you due to manual filing. Moreover, if you file tax returns after the due date of April 18, 2023, then you have to first apply for an extension in the filing of the tax return.
