$3,000 IRS Refunds Hitting Bank Accounts This Month – Here’s the Full June Schedule

If you filed your taxes recently, it’s time to check your bank account (and maybe your mailbox). The IRS has begun sending out refunds averaging $2,945, with many Americans seeing direct deposits of around $3,000 hit this June.

These payments are part of the routine tax return cycle for those who overpaid federal income taxes between mid-April and May 2025. And while some have already received theirs, others could be delayed due to common filing or processing issues.

Here’s what you need to know including the exact dates your refund could arrive and how to track it.

Who Gets the $3,000 Refund?

If you:

  • Filed your 2024 tax return between April 15 and May 31
  • Overpaid on your federal taxes
  • Chose direct deposit or requested a mailed check

…then you’re likely in line for a refund this June.

The average refund, confirmed by the IRS in May, is $2,945, but many taxpayers are reporting round amounts closer to $3,000 showing up in their bank statements.

IRS June Refund Schedule

Depending on how and when you filed, here’s when your money could arrive:

For tax returns filed between May 1 and May 15:

Filing Method

Estimated Refund Window

Online + Direct Deposit

May 22 – June 4

Online + Mailed Check

May 29 – June 11

Paper Filing

June 26 – July 10

 

For tax returns filed between May 16 and May 31:

Filing Method

Estimated Refund Window

Online + Direct Deposit

June 6 – June 19

Online + Mailed Check

June 13 – June 26

Paper Filing

July 11 – July 25

 

How to Track Your Refund

Use the IRS “Where’s My Refund” tool to get real-time updates:

  • Visit irs.gov/refunds
  • Enter your Social Security number, filing status, and exact refund amount
  • The tool will tell you if your return is received, approved, or sent

Pro Tip: Double-check your banking info, errors in account numbers or personal details are the #1 cause of delays.

Why Your Refund Might Be Delayed

Here are the most common culprits:

  • Paper filing instead of e-filing
  • Requesting a mailed check rather than direct deposit
  • Incomplete or inaccurate forms
  • Typos in Social Security or banking info
  • Claiming certain credits or benefits that require extra processing
  • Manual review triggered by system red flags

IRS staffing cuts and budget issues are also causing processing slowdowns, especially for paper filers.

IRS State Extensions for 2025

If you live in one of several states affected by natural disasters, you may still have until the fall to file and pay taxes. These states have automatic IRS filing extensions:

  • North Carolina: All counties — extended to September 25
  • California (Los Angeles County): Extended to October 15
  • Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia: Extended to November 3

A full list is available on the IRS disaster relief page.

Tips to Get Your Refund Faster Next Year

E-file instead of mailing paperwork
Request direct deposit
✅ Triple-check your banking and personal info
✅ Include all necessary documentation
✅ Avoid last-minute filing if possible
