IRS Update on Refund Checks

IRS to phase out paper tax refund checks starting with individual taxpayers

IR-2025-94, Sept. 23, 2025

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service, working with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, today announced that paper tax refund checks for individual taxpayers will be phased out beginning on Sept. 30, 2025, as required by Executive Order 14247, to the extent permitted by law. This marks the first step of the broader transition to electronic payments.

The IRS will publish detailed guidance for 2025 tax returns before the 2026 filing season begins. Until further notice, taxpayers should continue using existing forms and procedures, including those filing their 2024 returns on extension of a due date prior to Dec. 31, 2025.


The change is designed to

· Protect taxpayers: Paper checks are over 16 times more likely to be lost, stolen, altered, or delayed than electronic payments. Direct deposit also avoids the possibility that a refund check could be returned to the IRS as undeliverable.

· Speed up refunds: Electronic refunds give taxpayers faster access to refunds, with payments issued in less than 21 days if filing electronically, choosing direct deposit and there are no issues with the return, whereas nonelectronic payments may take 6 weeks or longer for refunds sent by mail.

· Cut costs: Electronic payments are more efficient and cost less than paper.


What this means for individual taxpayers

· Filing stays the same: Taxpayers should continue to file their returns as they normally would, using one of the existing filing options.

· Refunds go digital: Most refunds will be delivered by direct deposit or other secure electronic methods.

· Help for those without access to bank accounts: Options such as prepaid debit cards, digital wallets or limited exceptions will be available.

· Act now: Taxpayers should make sure they know their banking information or consider opening a free or low-cost account. Visit FDIC: GetBanked and MyCreditUnion.gov for account options.

Most individual taxpayers already receive their refunds by direct deposit into their bank accounts. During the 2025 tax filing season, the IRS issued more than 93.5 million tax refunds to individual income tax filers, and 93% of those, almost 87 million refunds, were issued through direct deposit. Only 7 percent of individual refund recipients received their refunds by check through the mail.

Next steps

Executive Order 14247 also applies to payments made to the IRS. Taxpayers should continue to use existing payment options until further notice. Additional guidance and information for filing 2025 taxes will be issued prior to the 2026 filing season.

The IRS will share updated guidance on IRS.gov and through outreach efforts nationwide.

🚨🚨Off Season Notes🚨🚨

Now that tax season has officially started to “semi-slow” down & school is out for the summer, so my wife & little man have a little more available time for family activities, as well as we are heading up the Pre-K & Kindergarten T-Ball league. I will be in & out of the office much more often than I was previously during tax time.

I have a lot of works in progress that I will be finishing up over the coming weeks, along with setting up appointments here & there with others who have extensions or prior years to file.

Please note that if you need to get a hold of me, the best way is to shoot a text to (319) 427-0226 or an email to [email protected] (email may be getting updated within the next few weeks if the website domain is acquired)

Thanks for your understanding.

I’m am fortunate enough that most of my clients understand I have a family that takes priority when taxes begin to slow down & extensions are in place & I hope that continues to remain the case!

Here’s to family summer fun with some work mixed in 😎

For those who've been asking:

"FinCEN Suspends BOI Reporting Requirement

Reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information (BOI) reports with Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), but the agency will continue accepting voluntary reports. FinCEN limited reporting to voluntary submissions in response to last week's ruling by a Texas federal court, which found the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and its information reporting requirements to be unconstitutional. FinCEN added that it has filed notice that it intends to appeal the decision.

FinCEN noted that the court injunction barring enforcement of the CTA's penalty provisions and BOI reporting deadlines is only one court decision, and several other federal courts are addressing challenges to the act. Additionally, several federal courts have found the CTA to be constitutional. NATP will provide members with updates on the status of the CTA and BOI reporting as we receive new information."

NOTE: FinCEN INTENDS TO APPEAL...this does NOT mean you DO NOT have to file, it just (for the time being) means the deadline is NOT 12/31

I will keep you posted as I can
