2015 IRS e-file Refund Cycle Chart

This has not been and will not be published by the IRS. They have adopted a standard of issuing refunds for the most part within 21 days of your return being accepted. However, many sites now try to estimate dates when refunds will be sent and the IRS e-file Refund Cycle Chart for 2015 with Direct Deposit and Check dates are only estimates. 

Here are the latest dates published:

Prediction as to when you will get your tax refund can be difficult; and, now the IRS sticks pretty tight to a general statement “21 days” wherein they ask you to wait this time frame before checking the status of your refund.  But the dates you will find will not all be the same.  Why?  The official Refund Cycle Chart published by the IRS is no more.

While we near the end of the year and approach the next tax filing season, many people start to pop the big question, “When will I get my tax refund in 2015?” and with this we will find more and more of these best guess date charts.  Some of the “estimated refund cycle charts” are based on guesses, some educated; and other refund charts you might find are just from prior years with dates that have been slightly adjusted.  

Since an official IRS refund calendar is a thing of the past, when taxpayers can expect to receive their tax refund in 2015 remains a mystic idea; and as always there will be glitches with one process or another at the IRS which could delay your refund.  As always, we stress to you that pre-spending those beloved refunds is playing with fire, wait for that direct deposit to hit in 2015! IGMR will post any estimated tax refund charts here that we find credible or to have plausible time frames.
