* total tax returns processed includes returns received in the prior or current year and processed in 2025. # total refunds issued represents refunds for returns received and processed in 2025, which reflects current year returns only. however, the number of direct deposit refunds represents refunds for both current and prior year returns processed in 2025, which makes this figure larger than the \u201ctotal number of refunds\u201d listed for the current year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

refunds are up; everything else is down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

by beth bellor<\/em><\/p>\n

the first week of tax season is over! cue the applause!<\/p>\n

some of you seem less than excited. we know it\u2019s early. all too early.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

still, it\u2019s time to begin our weekly tally of how things are going, starting with 13.2 million individual income tax returns received as of jan. 31, down 14 percent from the same period in 2024. the total returns processed was 11.7 million, down 15.8 percent.
\n
\nthe internal revenue service notes that large percentage changes in filing season numbers usually are seen at the beginning of tax season, then even out as more returns come in. and, of course, many taxpayers are still waiting for important tax documents.<\/p>\n

e-filings<\/strong><\/p>\n

electronic filings totaled 12.8 million, down 13.9 percent. of those, 4.3 million were submitted by tax professionals, down 11.5 percent, and 8.5 million by self-preparers, down 15.1 percent. to date, the pros have handled 33.6 percent of e-filings.<\/p>\n

website visits<\/strong><\/p>\n

visits to irs.gov<\/a> at 68.3 million are down 34.8 percent.<\/p>\n

refunds<\/strong><\/p>\n

there have been 3.2 million total refunds issued, up 23.5 percent, in the average amount of $1,928, up 38.2 percent. direct deposit refunds numbered 3.3 million, up 24.2 percent, in the average amount of $2,069, up 34.1 percent.<\/p>\n

how is this possible? because \u201ctotal\u201d isn\u2019t total in irs speak. total only refers to the current year, while direct deposit includes current and prior year returns processed in 2025. like most of these figures, the discrepancy will flatten as the weeks flow on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
