One month into the tax filing season, the average federal tax refund was $3,120, the IRS said Thursday. 1  As of Feb. 20, the agency said it paid out $125 billion in refunds and processed about 50 million tax returns. 2  And a large majority of those returns - 83% - have qualified for a refund.
Connecticut taxpayers recorded an average IRS refund of $3,218, the nationâs highest in 2011. Nevada ($3,192), Texas ($3,112), New Jersey ($3,099), New York ($3,071) and Louisiana ($3,006) also all exceeded the $3,000 mark. If we factor in those taxpayers not receiving refunds, averages drop a few hundred dollars. By this measure, Nevada registered the highest refund, with an average of $2,651. The smallest refund checks appear to be delivered to mailboxes in rural states: Montana, Maine, Vermont and North Dakota.
