What IRS Says on This Year’s Tax Refund
In accordance with the Internal Revenue Service, the reason refunds could be smaller is that taxpayers didn’t receive stimulus payments this tax year.
According to a published post by The Hill, the refund you receive is based on taxable income calculated by subtracting itemized deductions from your gross income. With this in mind, IRS is also reminding taxpayers not to rely on receiving their tax refunds by a certain date, especially when making major purchases or paying bills.
For you to receive your refund faster, an error-free return should be electronically filed and payments should be requested via direct deposit says IRS.
