How long does the IRS refund take?

According to Notícias ao Minuto, this year's IRS refund process is designed to be quick. Predictions indicate that taxpayers who submit their declaration through Automatic IRS will receive their refund in their account in less than two weeks. For those who submit the declaration manually (Model 3), the average waiting period is between three weeks and three and a half weeks.

More than one million families have already submitted their income tax return.

According to data from the same publication, the adherence of the Portuguese has been massive in the early stages of the campaign. More than one million families have already submitted their IRS statement on the Finance Portal.

Of this volume of submissions, the vast majority (over 800 thousand declarations) relate to taxpayers declaring exclusively income from dependent work (salaries) and pensions. The remaining submissions belong to families with other types of income. With this rapid flow of submissions, the Tax Authority is already processing the data to begin the first bank transfer orders.
