2025 Tax Season: What's everyone's Direct Deposit timeline looking like?
Filed my taxes last week and wondering what timeline everyone else is seeing for their direct deposits. This is my first time e-filing and I keep checking my transcripts every hour lol. Anyone get theirs yet?

Tax professional here - typical processing time is 21 days for e-filed returns with direct deposit. However, if you claimed EITC or CTC, there's usually a mandatory hold until at least March 1st. Best way to track is through your transcript updates, which happen weekly usually between Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

•That's not unusual this year. We're seeing longer processing times due to the new tax law changes and increased verification procedures.

Hey guys instead of checking transcripts constantly like I did (legit wore myself out 😅) try using taxr.ai - it costs a buck but it actually tells you exactly whats going on and when you'll likely get paid. Saved my sanity fr https://taxr.ai
