Based on your transcript, you should receive a refund of $5,158 ($1,800 + $4,313 - $855). The code 150 shows your tax liability of $855, while codes 766 and 768 are credits that exceed what you owe. Your processing date of March 3rd means you're likely looking at getting your refund within 21 days from that date, so potentially by late March. The April dates you see are just system posting dates and don't affect your actual refund timing. Keep checking "Where's My Refund" on the IRS website for updates!
This breakdown is really helpful! I'm in a similar situation and was wondering - does the "Where's My Refund" tool usually update pretty quickly once processing starts? Still trying to figure out how all these dates work together π€
Just went thru this! Used taxr.ai and it explained everything - apparently 570/971 combo usually means they adjusted something on ur return. The AI told me exactly what changed and when I'd likely get paid. Saved me so much stress
how accurate was it? thinking about trying it
dead accurate! predicted my ddd within 2 days. best dollar i ever spent ngl π―
I'm dealing with the same codes right now! Got my 570 about 2 weeks ago and just saw the 971 appear yesterday. Still waiting for that notice in the mail but honestly the waiting is killing me. Has anyone here had their refund released without having to send in additional documents? Really hoping it's just a simple verification thing and not something more complicated.
Think of the IRS like a giant cruise ship - it takes a long time to change direction. They've taken your money (turned the wheel) but the ship is still moving along its previous course for a while (showing the old balance). If you need immediate proof for your refinance, don't wait for the website. Call the IRS Practitioner Priority Line at 866-860-4259 and request a 'Record of Account' transcript to be mailed to you. It's like getting the captain's log instead of waiting for the passengers to notice the ship has turned.
Just wanted to add my recent experience to help with your timeline expectations! My refund was offset on February 14th this year, and here's exactly what happened: - Feb 14: Refund disappeared from "Where's My Refund" tool - Feb 21: Account transcript showed the offset (Transaction Code 826) - Feb 28: Received the official offset notice in the mail - March 5: Online account balance FINALLY updated to show $0 owed So about 3 weeks total for the website to catch up. The frustrating part is that first week where your money is gone but nothing shows it was applied! For your refinance situation, definitely get that account transcript ASAP. Most lenders will accept it as proof even before the main website updates. The transcript updates way faster than the balance on the main IRS site. Good luck with your refinance - at least you'll have that tax issue behind you! π β¨
This is super helpful! I'm in almost the exact same situation - my refund was offset on February 20th and I'm still waiting for everything to update. It's reassuring to see your timeline because I was starting to panic that something went wrong. The fact that your transcript updated within a week gives me hope that mine should show up soon too. Thanks for sharing the specific dates - it really helps to know what to expect! π
For anyone confused about the Gas Tax Refund program, here's a basic breakdown: - Most states collect taxes on each gallon of gasoline (varies by state) - When gas prices spike dramatically, some states issue refunds - Eligibility typically based on income level, residency status, and having a registered vehicle - Amount usually calculated based on estimated average fuel consumption for your household - Most states make the process automatic if you filed taxes - Generally not taxable on federal returns (some exceptions apply) - No need to save receipts or track mileage for this program - Different from business mileage deductions on Schedule C
Do you know if these refunds are available in other states too? I'm in Arizona and have never heard of this.
Arizona doesn't have a Gas Tax Refund program like California's. Each state handles fuel tax relief differently - some issue direct refunds, others temporarily reduce gas tax rates, and many don't offer relief programs at all. Arizona tends to have lower baseline gas taxes compared to California, so they haven't implemented similar refund programs. However, they have occasionally suspended or reduced gas tax rates during price spikes rather than issuing retroactive refunds. If you're curious about what tax relief programs Arizona offers, I'd recommend checking the Arizona Department of Revenue website or calling their taxpayer services line. They sometimes have other types of rebates or credits that might apply to your situation, just not specifically for gas taxes.

I went through this EXACT situation last month. According to IRS Publication 2043, once a Direct Deposit Date is established, the IRS initiates the transfer but is not responsible for banking processing times. My Credit Karma deposit took exactly 30 hours after my DDD to appear, despite them advertising "early deposits." What finally worked was checking my account at precisely 3:14am when their overnight processing completed - suddenly there it was! The most frustrating part was that their customer service couldn't see it as pending either when I called them. For what it's worth, my brother-in-law had the same experience with his refund through Credit Karma two weeks ago.

β’Same thing happened to me! My DDD was March 22nd, and the deposit finally hit my Credit Karma account on March 23rd at 4:30am. I was refreshing constantly and losing my mind, but then it just appeared overnight.

β’I got my refund through Credit Karma today even though my DDD was yesterday. No notification or anything - just suddenly appeared in my account around noon. First time filing with them as my deposit bank.

I'm dealing with the exact same situation! My DDD was today (April 17th) and still nothing in my Credit Karma account. Reading through these comments is actually really reassuring - sounds like this is pretty common with Credit Karma this tax season. I didn't realize their processing could take an extra day or two even after the IRS sends the money. Going to try checking my account early tomorrow morning like Tyrone suggested. It's frustrating that they advertise early deposits but then take longer than traditional banks for IRS refunds. Has anyone here actually contacted Credit Karma support about this specific issue, or is it just a matter of waiting it out?
