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.
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.
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/modernpayments and through outreach efforts nationwide.

Individual information returns or withholding tables for 2025 under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act
The Internal Revenue Service announced that, as part of its phased implementation of the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act, there will be no changes to certain information returns or withholding tables for Tax Year 2025 related to the new law.
Key points for TY 2025 relating to OBBB provisions:
•Form W-2, existing Forms 1099, and Form 941 and other payroll return forms will remain unchanged for TY 2025.
•Federal income tax withholding tables will not be updated for these provisions for TY 2025.
•Employers and payroll providers should continue using current procedures for reporting and withholding.
These decisions are intended to avoid disruptions during the tax filing season and to give the IRS, business and tax professionals enough time to implement the changes effectively.

Important reminders for extension filers
Individual taxpayers who requested an extension to file their federal taxes have until Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025, to complete and file their federal tax return. Those who already have the forms and information they need should file now – there's no advantage to waiting until the deadline.
There are a few things extension filers should remember as they get ready to file.
File by the deadline
Extension filers should file by Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025. Taxpayers should file electronically and choose direct deposit for their tax refund – it's the fastest and safest way to receive their money.
Payment options
Those who owe taxes and can't pay their balance in full should pay as much as they can to reduce interest and penalties for late payment. The IRS has options for people who can't pay their taxes, including applying for a payment plan on IRS.gov. Taxpayers can view payment options or check their account balance online.
