You probably know by now that you can use the IRS online tracker "Where’s My Refund?" to find out just where in the system your tax return is.
Well, here’s its companion: A nifty little table the tax agency put together telling you when you can expect a refund if you e-filed.
Now you know exactly what date to start bugging Uncle Sam about your tax cash!

Tax filing season is also peak time for tax scams. Be on the lookout for…
Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)

This year practically every taxpayer is owed a refund by the IRS of an illegally assessed telephone excise tax. But, last month the IRS reported that in January nearly thirty percent of early filers failed to claim their due refund. Approximately $20 billion ought to be refunded to individuals and organizations. Yet, what is not claimed will be forfeit, and remain in government coffers. A new website explains the history of this tax and offers free instructions and calculating tools for determining and obtaining the exact refund owed. Check out this little YouTube video about it:
