The IRS has issued 3.2 million refunds for the 2025 filing season so far. As of Jan. 31, the average refund amount was $1,928, which covers the first four days of the filing season. The agency sends most refunds in less than 21 days.

Even though the 2025 tax season has only been open less than two full weeks, the IRS has already been busy processing tax returns and issuing tax refunds. Not mine — I'm still a ways away from sitting down with my W-2 forms and the 1040 instructions and a calculator and all that.

According to a study conducted and published by GoBankingRates.com, the average refund issued in the Keystone State — as gleaned data from tax season 2023 — is $1,760. This number was calculated based on the total number of refunds issued during that time (9,279,255) against the total dollar amount in refunds ($16,327,099,000).

The "Where is my refund?" tool is an IRS tracking system for filers to get updates on the status of their tax refund. Those looking to keep an eye on their money can log in online or via the IRS2Go mobile app and check back daily to see when they can expect their funds.

April 15 is the filing deadline for 2024 federal income tax returns for most people. Others in states hit by disasters have until May 1 or Oct. 15.
