IRS sending tax refunds: Who will get their refund by June 15? Check eligibility and more
The IRS is still giving tax refunds to people who sent in their 2024 tax returns in the first half of 2025. If you filed online by May 15, your refund may be sent to your bank between June 9 and 15.
Refunds are sent based on how and when you filed. If you filed online and asked for direct deposit, you usually get your money 21 days after the IRS accepts your return. If you asked for a paper check in the mail, it might take up to two months. The IRS says if you filed by April 7 and picked direct deposit, your money should have come around April 28. If you picked a paper check, you may get it around June 6.
If you filed around April 15, which is the usual deadline, and picked direct deposit, your refund may show up between June 6 and 19. If you wanted a paper check, it might come between June 13 and 26.
But keep in mind, these are just guesses.The real date could change if your return is more complicated, if you claimed special tax credits, or if the IRS is very busy.The real date could change if your return is more complicated, if you claimed special tax credits, or if the IRS is very busy.

Even though the IRS tries to be on time, many things can slow down your refund. A common reason is a mistake on your return. This might mean an IRS worker has to look at it by hand. If you asked for the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Child Tax Credit, your refund may be held longer, since the IRS checks these to stop fraud. Other things like problems with your ID, someone using your Social Security number, slow banks or mail, or if you owe taxes or child support, can also delay your refund.
If it's been over 21 days since the IRS said they got your online return and you still didn't get your refund, use the 'Where's My Refund?' tool on the IRS website. This tool gives updates every day. You will need your Social Security number or ITIN, your filing status, and the amount of your refund. If it's been more than 21 days and still nothing, you can also call the IRS at 800-829-1954 to get help.
Filing online and asking for direct deposit is still the fastest and safest way to get your refund. Paper forms can take much longer, especially when the IRS is very busy.

Retiring soon? Here are 13 states in the US that don't enforce taxes on retirement, take a look
You may have paid a substantial amount of taxes to the government during your professional life, but it does not mean that you will stop paying taxes once you retire. There are states that tax your retirement income, too, other than a few. Here's a look at some of the US regions that do not tax your retirement income. No one in Alaska pays state taxes, as the region does not levy an income tax. This clearly means that you will not be taxed for the retirement benefits received, including the likes of Social Security benefits, pension income, or 401(k) or IRA distributions, according to a USA Today report. However, local sales taxes in Alaska can reach as far as 8%, and therefore, you need to make your necessary calculations before making a move. Florida comes next, with no state tax on 401(k), 403(b), or IRA distributions, pension distributions, and more. Even for estate or inheritance tax, as well as for essential products like groceries, Florida does not issue any kind of state tax, which is a major relief for the residents. However, public transportation issues and rising insurance rates in the region could be a major problem there. Illinois has a reasonable taxation rate of 4.95 per cent on income, but the best part is that it does not levy any taxes on retirement income.

Rs 3200000000000000: This huge amount is giving US president Trump sleepless nights, he is now begging before China due to...
Rs 3200000000000000: This huge amount is giving US president Trump sleepless nights, he is now begging before China due to... Difficult days are ahead for Prsident Donald Trump as US's national debt has crossed $37 trillion (about Rs 32 lakh billion). This has rung alarm bells in the financial and policy world. The cost of paying interest on the debt is reaching about $1 trillion every year. This level can soon cripple the federal budget. It can stop the essential work of the government. As of June 20, the US government owes more than the country's entire economy in a year. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that if there is no major reform, the debt will reach 156% of GDP by 2055. Currently, an annual deficit of $2 trillion is increasing the debt. This is happening due to increased spending and slow growth in revenue. The biggest threat is the interest bill. About a quarter of the federal tax income is now being spent on repaying the debt. This means that less money will be left for programs like Social Security, Medicare, national defense and infrastructure. Millions of Americans depend on these programs. The debt of $37 trillion is a matter of great concern for US in many ways. It affects US's economic policies and global relations. It is also considered to be the reason behind Donald Trump's softening of tone against China in the trade war. This loan can create many problems Budget cuts aren't the only threats. Economists say this debt route could reduce private investment, raise borrowing costs and hamper economic growth. The CBO estimates that if the debt is not brought under control, GDP could be reduced by $340 billion over the next decade, it could lose 1.2 million jobs and slow wage growth. Raising interest rates would worsen the damage. As global lenders demand higher returns to finance the U.S. deficit, borrowing costs will rise for businesses, homeowners and the federal government. Threat of financial crisis is increasing on US The risk of a financial crisis is increasing. If investors lose faith in the government's ability to manage finances, there could be a sharp rise in interest rates or a collapse of the dollar. This could weaken economic stability. There could be global shocks. However, the US economy is still growing. But its pace has slowed down considerably. This year GDP growth is estimated to be just 1.4%–1.6%. Unemployment is rising. Inflation is still above target. The margin for error is shrinking. The old sayings of economists, business leaders and people like Elon Musk are now coming true. If America continues on this path, not only will future generations pay the price for it, but this crisis may come very soon.

Aflac finds suspicious activity on US network that may impact Social Security numbers, other data
Aflac says that it has identified suspicious activity on its network in the U.S. that may impact Social Security numbers and other personal information, calling the incident part of a cybercrime campaign against the insurance industry. The company said Friday that the intrusion was stopped within hours. 'We continue to serve our customers as we respond to this incident and can underwrite policies, review claims, and otherwise service our customers as usual,' Aflac said in a statement. The company said that it's in the early stages of a review of the incident, and so far is unable to determine the total number of affected individuals. Aflac Inc. said potentially impacted files contain claims information, health information, Social Security numbers, and other personal information, related to customers, beneficiaries, employees, agents, and other individuals in its U.S. business. The Columbus, Georgia-based company said that it will offer free credit monitoring and identity theft protection and Medical Shield for 24 months to anyone that calls its call center. Aflac is not the only company to deal with an incident recently. A string of recent cyberattacks and data breaches involving the systems of major retailers have started affecting shoppers. United Natural Foods, a wholesale distributor that supplies Whole Foods and other grocers, said earlier this month that a breach of its systems was disrupting its ability to fulfill orders — leaving many stores without certain items. In the U.K., consumers could not order from the website of Marks & Spencer for more than six weeks — and found fewer in-store options after hackers targeted the British clothing, home goods and food retailer. A cyberattack on Co-op, a U.K. grocery chain, also led to empty shelves in some stores. A security breach detected by Victoria's Secret last month led the popular lingerie seller to shut down its U.S. shopping site for nearly four days, as well as to halt some in-store services. Victoria's Secret later disclosed that its corporate systems also were affected, too, causing the company to delay the release of its first quarter earnings. The North Face said that it discovered a 'small-scale credential stuffing attack' on its website in April. The company reported that no credit card data was compromised and said the incident, which impacted 1,500 consumers, was 'quickly contained.' Meanwhile, Adidas disclosed last month that an 'unauthorized external party' obtained some data, which was mostly contact information, through a third-party customer service provider.
