What are the 2015 Refund Cycle Dates?

E-File Your Tax Return with RapidTax and Receive your Refund Within 21 Days!

In the past, the IRS released a refund cycle chart. This chart allowed tax filers to know exactly when they would receive their tax refund. Sounds helpful, right?

Unfortunately, the IRS no longer posts the refund cycle chart. Luckily, there are charts out there which give a pretty accurate prediction on when you’ll get your refund.

You may want to know how long it will take to receive your tax refund once you file your 2014 tax return.  Luckily, we’ve provided a refund cycle chart below.

Keep in mind however, these dates are NOT definite. They are only expected dates, based off of previous year trends.

  1. I filed 1/25 and it’s still processing. No transcript no updates. They can’t say obamacare isn’t to blame. Have you guys heard anything new?

    1. Hi Nicole,

      The IRS has announced that it is experiencing high traffic on Where’s My Refund as more tax returns come in. The heavy volume of refund inquiries means that the IRS anticipates both the “Where’s My Refund?” tool and the refund feature on the IRS2go phone app will have limited availability during busier periods.
      Due to the large number of inquiries and to avoid service disruptions, the IRS strongly urges taxpayers to only check on their refunds once a day. IRS systems are only updated once a day, usually overnight, and the same information is available whether on the internet, IRS2go smartphone app or on IRS toll-free lines. While “Where’s My Refund” is updated nightly, your account will not change that frequently.

  2. Hi everyone!

    I have a question that seems to not be able to get answers. Please help!

    My husband and I both owe taxes to the IRS. This year we filed married filing jointly. The amount of refund that we will be receiving will be enough to cover what I owe in taxes. So the remaining amount would it be refunded to me or would the IRS take it and put it towards his balance? Even though my name is first or should I say head of household on the income taxes. Does this make sense? Can anyone help me answer this? Thank you!

    1. Hi Cindy,

      If you are filing a joint return, then both spouses are responsible for the total income amount and the amount owed. If you are worried about being responsible for your husband’s amount owed, I suggest filing as “married filing separately”. This option still reports your and your spouse as married but you will each be responsible for your own income and amount owed.
