WASHINGTON -- Tax refunds are expected to start hitting bank accounts in the coming weeks as the Internal Revenue Service continues to process millions of returns. However, a pair of executive orders signed recently by President Donald Trump might cause some delays in getting those refunds paid out, according to Newsweek.

Taxpayers should expect to receive their tax refunds within 21 days of filing if they file electronically, but that money could be delayed this year.

Since taking office, President Trump has issued numerous executive orders affecting federal agencies, potentially impacting taxpayer services. With tax season underway, these changes could lead to delays and reduced assistance for millions of Americans.
