Social Security Clarifies Something Important About IRS Tax Refund in April: Note This, It's of Interest to You
Millions of Americans are receiving their tax refunds from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) this week. These payments, which are directly deposited into taxpayers' bank accounts, are eagerly awaited by many.
Important Notice from U.S. Social Security: How to Apply for a Tax Refund
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has issued a statement reminding beneficiaries that IRS tax refunds do not affect the benefits they receive. It is crucial for Social Security beneficiaries to know that these refunds do not count as income. Therefore, they will not impact eligibility or the amount of their benefits.
To receive a tax refund, it is necessary to file a tax return with the IRS. Even if there is no obligation to file, doing so can result in a refund if taxes have been withheld from your wages or if you are eligible for certain tax credits.
The fastest and safest way to file the return is electronically and to opt for direct deposit of the refund. This reduces the risk of errors and speeds up the process.
Key Dates in April: Watch the IRS Calendar
The deadline to file the tax return this year is April 15. However, for those looking to receive their refund between April 12 and April 15, pay close attention. It is essential to have filed your return electronically and chosen direct deposit by the end of March.
According to the IRS calendar, returns filed online on March 22 could result in refunds deposited today, April 12. The rest of the estimated dates are as follows:
Filing Date: March 23 → Estimated Deposit Date: April 13
Filing Date: March 24 → Estimated Deposit Date: April 14
Filing Date: March 25 → Estimated Deposit Date: April 15
Average Refund Amount
The average amount of tax refunds has varied in recent years. In 2024, the average refund was approximately $3,100. However, in 2025, initial figures showed a decrease, with an average of $2,252 as of February 14.
This reduction is due to several factors, including changes in tax laws and adjustments in withholdings. It is essential to remember that the refund amount depends on each taxpayer's individual tax situation.
IRS tax refunds are an important source of income for many Americans, especially for Social Security beneficiaries. Filing the return on time and opting for direct deposit are key steps to receiving the refund quickly and safely.
