Only 7 percent of individual refund recipients received their refunds by check through the mail.

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.

Executive Order 14247 establishes a government-wide directive to transition to the use of electronic transfers for disbursing federal payments and collecting funds owed to the government.

IRS Free File
The public-private partnership known as IRS Free File will continue to operate. It was extended in 2024 through the 2029 tax season.
How it works: This program allows taxpayers with an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) below a certain threshold to use commercial tax software for free. For the 2025 filing season (for 2024 tax returns), the income limit was $84,000.
Availability: Eligible taxpayers can access the software from eight different companies by starting on the official IRS Free File page.
Who it's for: Taxpayers with an AGI higher than the income limit can still use Free File Fillable Forms, which are electronic versions of paper forms that taxpayers fill out and e-file themselves.
Other free tax-filing options
The IRS also offers other avenues for free tax preparation:
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA): Provides free tax help to people who generally make $67,000 or less, individuals with disabilities, and limited English-speaking taxpayers.
Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE): Offers free tax help for individuals aged 60 or older.
MilTax: A Department of Defense program that provides free tax preparation and e-filing software for military members and some veterans.
