June 11, 2026
The IRS recently issued its 2025 Data Book, a report that provides a statistical overview of the agency’s operations and the work employees performed to meet statutory responsibilities.
The agency reported that roughly 45% of individual tax returns filed during the 2026 filing season claimed one or more of the new tax benefits from the Working Families Tax Cuts Act: no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on car loan interest and/or the enhanced tax deduction for seniors. The average refund on a return claiming one of these deductions was over $3,200, as of May 27.
The IRS processed 271.4 million federal tax returns and supplemental documents, including almost 162.8 million individual income tax returns. The agency said the revenue collected exceeded $5.3 trillion. See more highlights.
