846 Code on Transcript but WMR Still Shows "Refund Approved" with No Direct Deposit Date - When Will It Actually Arrive?

Finally got the 846 code on my transcript after months of waiting. The refund amount shows up but still no direct deposit date. Getting my hopes up but not sure if I should. Been checking WMR every morning for months now! Just checked the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool again today at 3:28 with only 14% battery left on my phone. The status page shows: Refund Status Results: - Return Received ✓ - Refund Approved ✓ - Refund Sent (still waiting on this one) The message says "Your return has been processed and refund amount approved." They also mention "We have received your tax return and it is being processed. If you filed a complete and accurate tax return, your refund should be issued within 21 days of the received date. However, processing may take longer under certain circumstances." So my transcript shows the 846 code, but the WMR tool still doesn't show a direct deposit date even though it's marked as "approved." I don't understand why there's no date yet. Has anyone experienced this disconnect between seeing the 846 code but still waiting for the actual deposit date to show up in WMR? I've been checking this stupid app every morning for months and it's driving me crazy! Does this mean my money is finally coming soon? I'm trying not to get too excited after waiting this long, but it seems like I'm in the final stage before receiving it. Seems like the IRS is telling me to continue waiting but I'm just so tired of checking their website and app every day.

Yes! Code 846 is definitely the refund issued code - its basically the IRS telling you that your refund has been approved and is being sent to your bank. Usually takes 2-5 business days to hit your account after you see this code. If you want a more detailed analysis of your transcript and exact timing, check out taxr.ai - it's pretty amazing at breaking down all these codes and giving you precise predictions. I've been helping folks with transcripts for years and this tool is a game changer for understanding exactly where your money is and when it's coming.

Yes! 846 code means the refund has been approved and scheduled for release. Usually takes about 5-7 business days for the money to hit your account after the 846 appears. Congrats, you made it through the wait! 🎉

hey fyi - instead of checking WMR constantly, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect the deposit. saved me so much stress for $5. https://taxr.ai
