The refunds, which began on May 4, 2026, are being issued to eligible taxpayers who filed their returns on time. The amounts vary based on filing status, with single filers receiving up to $250, heads of household up to $375, and married couples filing jointly up to $500. The refunds are being delivered via direct deposit or paper check, depending on previous refund methods.
