​According to an article last week from Yahoo Money tax season is going well this year, and indeed there are bigger refunds being seen.  And it's going well, with the IRS actually ahead of where they were this same time last year.

The average refund this year is $3,352, compared with $2,967 this time last year — a 13% increase. 

​And remember if you can file electronically, do, because your odds are better for a faster refund, assuming you are getting one.
