Just wanted to add another option - I've been using that free open source tool called "Beancount" to handle my investment tracking. It takes a bit of setup initially, but there's a plugin that can directly import from Robinhood and then export in formats compatible with most tax software, including TaxAct.

I've been dealing with this exact same headache! What finally worked for me was a combination approach. First, I contacted Robinhood support through their app (like StarSailor mentioned) and requested an alternative format - they sent me a CSV file that had most of my transaction data in a cleaner format. However, I still had to manually reconcile the wash sale adjustments from the official 1099-B PDF. What I did was create a simple spreadsheet where I imported the Robinhood CSV, then added columns for the wash sale adjustments by cross-referencing the PDF. It's not perfect, but it cut my manual entry time from 6+ hours down to about 90 minutes. For anyone going this route, make sure to double-check that your total gains/losses in your final import file match what's on your official 1099-B before submitting to TaxAct. The IRS cares about the official document numbers, so any discrepancies could cause issues later.

Sorry to butt in with another question, but this raised another concern for me. Is the $750 possibly for some kind of commercial vehicle tax rather than PUCC? Like maybe a Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax (Form 2290) that they're passing on to you? I'm wondering because that amount seems high for just a PUCC calculation on a single paycheck.

That's a really good catch about the $750 amount - that does seem unusually high for a typical PUCC deduction on a single paycheck. PUCC taxes are usually calculated as a percentage of the vehicle's annual lease value spread across pay periods, so even for an expensive truck, you'd typically see much smaller per-paycheck deductions. I'd definitely ask your payroll department for a detailed breakdown of exactly what this $750 represents. It's possible they're applying some kind of retroactive calculation (like if they decided to suddenly tax the whole year's worth of personal use), or as Alina mentioned, it could be an entirely different tax like the Heavy Highway Vehicle Use Tax that they're incorrectly passing through to you. Either way, given the permanent equipment and clear business use of your truck, you should challenge this. But understanding exactly what type of tax they're applying will help you craft the right response.

Just to clarify something important - the date you see on WMR is when the IRS releases the funds, not necessarily when they'll hit your account. Think of it like the IRS putting your refund in the mail on that date (electronic mail, but still 😂). With H&R Block's fees being taken out, there's that extra step where they get the money first, take their cut, then send the rest to you. I learned this lesson the hard way last year when I'd already mentally spent my refund before it arrived! The good news is it's almost certainly coming, just on bank time not IRS time.

Same situation here! Filed with H&R Block on 2/1, got accepted immediately, and WMR shows 2/25 deposit date. Still checking my account obsessively but nothing yet. Reading through these comments is actually really helpful - I had no idea about the MetaBank middleman process. I thought the IRS just sent it straight to my bank account minus the fees. Now I understand why there's this extra delay. Definitely going to stop refreshing my banking app every 5 minutes since it sounds like this is totally normal. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences!

Has anyone actually received interest on their delayed GA refund? They're supposed to pay interest after 90 days but my refund finally came and no interest was included.

I'm in the exact same boat! Filed my Georgia return in March and still showing "processing" on the DOR website. It's so frustrating seeing federal refunds come through quickly while state just sits there. I've tried calling the 877 number multiple times but either get a busy signal or sit on hold for hours before giving up. From reading all these comments, it sounds like Georgia really messed up their system this year with the new fraud detection. Some people are waiting 4-5 months which is absolutely ridiculous. I'm going to try some of the suggestions here - maybe the taxr.ai tool to see if there's an issue with my return I'm not aware of, or possibly reaching out to my state representative if it goes much longer. Has anyone who filed around the same time as me (March) actually gotten their refund yet? Just trying to gauge if I should expect to wait until August like some others mentioned.

Let me share what I've learned from handling dozens of these cases. The 45-day timeframe is their standard line, but in my experience, most refunds come much sooner after the review is completed. I had a client last year in your exact situation - return under review, worried about bills, first-time joint filer. Once their review was completed, the refund was issued in just 8 days. The key is that March 15th date - that's when you should see your transcript update with either a refund approved code (846) or a notice issued code (971). If you see code 846, you'll typically receive your refund within 5-7 days of that date. Keep checking your transcript daily after March 15th!

I'm going through something very similar right now! Filed my joint return in early February and got the same "under review" status. The waiting is absolutely torture when you're counting on that refund for bills. One thing that helped me was setting up account transcripts online at irs.gov so I could check for updates myself instead of calling constantly. The hold times are insane right now. Also, I read somewhere that filing jointly for the first time can sometimes trigger additional verification because they're matching up two tax histories that weren't previously linked. Hang in there - from what I've seen in this community, most people get their refunds way before that 45-day worst-case timeline they give you. Sending you positive vibes that yours comes through quickly after March 15th! 💙
