The first week of the 2026 tax filing season shows a slower start for tax returns and IRS processing, but early filers are receiving larger refunds than a year ago.

“Average refund amounts are strong,” the IRS said in an explanation of the data.

Early IRS data shows fewer tax returns processed and few refunds issued through Feb. 6, but the average refund amount is up.

The average tax refund is up 10.9% compared with the same period a year ago, according to early filing data from the IRS.
