Did you receive your e-file acceptance notification from your tax software? That's different from IRS correspondence and usually comes within 24-48 hours of submission. I'm curious if you're expecting a refund or if you owed taxes this year? The correspondence timeline differs significantly between the two scenarios.

You should definitely check the Where's My Refund tool instead of waiting for mail. I filed on January 18th and got my refund direct deposited on February 8th without receiving any physical mail whatsoever. If you're waiting for a physical check, those typically go out on Fridays, and you'd see a scheduled date on the WMR tool about 5-7 days before it's mailed. April 15th is coming up quickly, so you'll want to verify everything is processing correctly!

According to the IRS Operations Status page (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-operations), they're currently experiencing "intermittent issues with certain online applications" which likely includes the ID.me integration. The IRS Modernized e-File (MeF) Status page also shows some authentication services as degraded. This might explain why you're getting the runaround - the systems might be partially offline for maintenance. The community wisdom here is to try again after their next scheduled maintenance window, which should be this coming Sunday morning, or use alternative methods like transcript by mail in the meantime.

Be extremely careful with how you proceed here. A colleague of mine had this same issue and after multiple failed attempts to resolve it, his account got flagged for potential identity theft concerns. This triggered a manual review process that delayed his refund by over 4 months and required in-person verification at a local IRS office. If you're expecting a refund or have any pending matters with the IRS, I'd recommend documenting all your communication attempts and considering professional assistance rather than repeatedly trying different self-service options that might trigger security flags.

Cash App deposits are usually very reliable for tax refunds. Have you verified your account is fully set up? Do you have all verification steps completed? Most issues come from incomplete verification or incorrect numbers. You should see the money exactly on your DDD or possibly earlier. Cash App doesn't generally hold funds like traditional banks might. If it doesn't arrive by end of day on your DDD, you should contact both Cash App support and the IRS to ensure there wasn't a rejection.

Using Cash App for tax refunds is like using a sports car for grocery shopping - it works, but there are specific things to be aware of. My deposit was scheduled for March 8th last year, and while my friend with a traditional bank had to wait until exactly 8am on the 8th, mine hit Cash App at 9:30pm the night before. The system isn't perfect though - my cousin had his refund rejected because his name on Cash App didn't exactly match his tax return (he used a nickname). Make sure every detail matches your tax forms exactly.

I had Transaction Code 840 appear on my Account Transcript last filing season, followed by TC 846 three days later. The system flagged my return for the Refund Hold Program due to identity verification, but the 840 code meant the verification cleared. What's interesting is that the IRS's Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) processes these codes sequentially, not simultaneously, which explains the gap between approval and issuance. Didn't realize tax processing was so complex!

I just went through this exact situation last week and got my refund! Here's what happened: • Code 840 appeared on Tuesday • Code 846 showed up on Thursday • Money hit my account Monday morning The system worked exactly as intended. If you provided direct deposit info and don't have any offsets (like back taxes or child support), you're getting DD. The paper checks are usually only sent if you didn't provide banking info or if there's a problem with the account you provided.

Per Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1.4.7, refund checks are issued through the Treasury Department's Bureau of the Fiscal Service, not directly from the IRS. This creates an additional processing step that extends delivery timeframes. Furthermore, Treasury Regulation 31 CFR 240 stipulates that government checks remain valid for 12 months from the issue date. I'm as frustrated as everyone else by these delays, but it's important to understand the multi-agency process causing them. If your check doesn't arrive within 4 weeks, call the IRS refund hotline at 800-829-1954.

Based on community reports, checks dated March 3rd, 2025 are starting to arrive as of March 17th, 2025. Most people are reporting 12-18 day delivery times right now. If you don't receive yours by March 24th, you should call immediately as March 25th is the cutoff for the next batch of replacement check processing. Missing that date could push your replacement into mid-April. The Treasury Department confirmed on February 28th that they're experiencing higher than normal paper check volumes for this tax season.

The address depends on whether you're including a payment or not. Unlike regular returns where you can just look up your state, amended returns have different routing: Without payment (Georgia resident): Internal Revenue Service Austin, TX 73301-0052 With payment (any state): Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 1214 Charlotte, NC 28201-1214 This is different from how regular returns are handled, where the address is purely state-based. If you recently divorced and changed your address, make sure your current address is clearly indicated on the 1040-X so any correspondence comes to the right place.

I successfully submitted my amended 1040-X for tax year 2023 last month from Atlanta. Used the Austin, TX address per the IRS instructions. The key was using certified mail with return receipt requested (USPS Form 3811). This provided me with definitive proof of delivery and receipt by the IRS. The tracking showed delivery within 4 business days. I appreciate everyone's input on this thread - extremely helpful for navigating post-divorce tax adjustments.

Think of TAS like the emergency room of the tax world - they triage cases based on severity. Your plumbing situation is like having a broken bone - serious, but not immediately life-threatening in their view. What you need is to frame your hardship in terms they understand - potential health hazards from water damage, inability to live in portions of your home, etc. It's not about waiting a specific time period, it's about demonstrating genuine financial hardship that can't wait for normal processing.

Based on my experience working with several clients in similar situations, the TAS has become much more responsive to hardship cases in 2024 compared to previous years. I've seen them accept cases as early as 2-3 weeks after amendment filing when proper documentation was provided. The key is submitting Form 911 with comprehensive documentation of your hardship AND proof that you've attempted to resolve through normal channels. I recommend calling the TAS intake line directly at 877-777-4778 rather than the general IRS line, as they can better assess your situation.

I literally just got my refund on my Serve Card this morning! My DD date was 3/6, and I was pulling my hair out waiting. I need this money for my car payment that's due on Monday. Called the Serve Card automated line about 20 times yesterday, and it kept saying "no pending deposits." Then at 6:17 AM today, I got the deposit notification. So it took 2 days after my official DD date. Hang in there - it's probably coming soon!

Be careful with these prepaid cards. According to IRS Publication 1345 regarding refund delivery, the IRS is only responsible for sending the refund to the financial institution. The timing of when funds are made available by the financial institution falls outside IRS jurisdiction. I had a terrible experience last year where my refund was delayed by 5 days on a similar card. The fine print in the Serve Card agreement states they can hold deposits for up to 5 business days for verification purposes. Check your cardholder agreement for the exact terms.

The IRS Where's My Refund tool (https://www.irs.gov/refunds) is your best resource for tracking. It updates once daily, usually overnight. The TurboTax advance is completely separate from the IRS process. Your refund timeline is determined by IRS processing, not by TurboTax or the advance you received.

You should understand that the Refund Advance Program from TurboTax is technically a Refund Anticipation Loan (RAL) underwritten by a third-party bank. The IRS processing timeline remains unchanged regardless of this product. The standard e-file processing sequence includes Transmission, Acceptance, Processing, and Disbursement phases. Your return is currently in the Processing phase, which typically concludes within 21 days of acceptance for non-complex returns.

I dealt with this exact situation on January 15th this year. The key distinction is between 'Home of Record' (military administrative term) and 'State of Legal Residence' (tax term). For tax purposes, your military income is only taxable in your state of legal residence. If you've maintained California as your legal residence (kept CA driver's license, still vote there, intend to return), then you file as a CA resident and MO nonresident. You'll need to file Form 540NR for California and Form MO-NRI for Missouri. On the Missouri form, you'll exclude military income under the SCRA exemption. The deadline for filing is April 15th, 2024, so you still have time to get this sorted correctly.

I was in a similar situation with Washington (home of record) and Virginia (stationed). Much easier than your situation though since Washington has no income tax! But the principle is the same as others have mentioned - it's about where you're legally domiciled, not where you're physically stationed. Just like when I moved from Texas to Virginia but kept Texas as my legal residence, you need to be careful about which state you've established as your actual legal domicile. So relieved when I finally figured it all out last year!
