It should be said that it’s impossible to predict exactly when a specific taxpayer will receive their tax refund.

The main thing is that to guarantee a fast refund you should get your W2 online and file your taxes using the e-file system and opt for ‘direct deposit’ as your payment method of choice.

In the past, the IRS used to provide guidance on the first day to file taxes and when taxpayers could expect to receive their refunds. However, they have since discontinued this practice, so it’s only possible to make a prediction based on previous years.
