Where's your income tax refund? The 2020 tax refund season is underway - the IRS started accepting 2019 income tax returns on Monday, January 27, 2020. The chart isn't a guarantee, but it can help you predict when you will get your 2020 IRS federal tax refund, based on previous years and IRS policy.

The good news is, there's no reason to get a refund loan or similar services, which often include steep fees, since most taxpayers can get their 2020 income tax refund via direct deposit from the IRS in as little as 10-15 days if they file early.

The main factors that determine when a taxpayer may receive their return include:

How early you file
If the taxpayer is claiming certain credits (especially EITC and CTC)
Whether the return is e-filed or sent by mail
Whether the taxpayer has existing debts to the federal government
The IRS may add a 2-3 week delay to tax returns that claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Child Tax Credit (CTC), since these credits are the most abused. The additional time allows the IRS to verify that taxpayers qualify for the credits.

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, 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.
