WASHINGTON -- Tax refunds are expected to start hitting bank accounts in the coming weeks as the Internal Revenue Service continues to process millions of returns. However, a pair of executive orders signed recently by President Donald Trump might cause some delays in getting those refunds paid out, according to Newsweek.

Most taxpayers receive refunds and money has already started being issued. There are ways to find out information about the status of your filing.

Refunds are typically received within 21 days of the IRS accepting your return, but some issues can delay that timeline.

With tax season underway, here's what you need to know about tracking your tax refund and your new 2025 tax brackets.

The "Where is my refund?" tool is an IRS tracking system for filers to get updates on the status of their tax refund. Those looking to keep an eye on their money can log in online or via the IRS2Go mobile app and check back daily to see when they can expect their funds.

A combination of resignations, cuts to taxpayer assistance programs, and current lack of senior leadership and staffing could slow down the IRS processes

President Trump signed an executive order last month enacting a hiring freeze for federal employees. The memorandum is set to expire in 90 days for every department and agency besides the Internal Revenue Service.

Since taking office, President Trump has issued numerous executive orders affecting federal agencies, potentially impacting taxpayer services. With tax season underway, these changes could lead to delays and reduced assistance for millions of Americans.
