IRS2Go app shows approved refund but warns about offset for past due debts - should I wait for BFS notice or take action now?

Received $2,150 refund deposit but was expecting $2,680 - why is my refund amount different?

I checked my bank account this morning and saw the IRS deposited my refund finally, but the amount is off. I was supposed to get $2,680 according to my tax filing in April, but they only sent $2,150. That's $530 less than what I was expecting! I double checked my tax return and the amount is definitely showing $2,680 as my refund. I haven't received any letters from the IRS explaining why they reduced my refund. Could this be because I have outstanding debt with the state? Or maybe they found an error in my return? Has this happened to anyone else? How do I find out why they took $530 from my refund?

Credit Karma Money app showing 'Yikes! We're having trouble loading your data' error for 5 days, blocking access to tax refund status

Anyone else having issues with Credit Karma Money app? I've been trying to check my tax refund deposit for almost a week now but keep getting the same error message saying 'Yikes! We're having trouble loading your data. Please try again in a few minutes.' I keep hitting the "Try again" button but nothing changes. I can see the app interface with the tabs for "Overview", "Spend", "Save", and the bottom menu with "For you", "Cards", "Loans", "Insurance", and "Money", but I can't access ANY of my actual account information. The error message just sits there in the middle of the screen. I've tried everything - logging out and back in, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing cache, restarting my phone, checking on different networks (both LTE and wifi), everything! Every time I open the app around 2:47, I just see this error message blocking me from seeing my account. I've called their support line twice and both times was told it's a "temporary issue" and to just wait, but it's been 5 days now! I'm getting seriously worried because I think they might be processing my refund deposit but I can't even access my account to check if it's arrived. My tax refund is pretty substantial this year and I need to confirm it was deposited correctly. Has anyone else experienced this specific error on the Credit Karma Money app or know what's going on? Is there any other way to check if my refund has been deposited without being able to access the account through the app?

Anyone in FL with DDD 3/18 using SoFi received their refund yet?

So I got my DDD of 3/18 on my transcript last week. I bank with SoFi and usually they deposit 2 days early for direct deposits. I'm getting anxious checking my account every hour and still nothing. Anyone else in Florida with SoFi got their refund yet? Starting to worry something went wrong.

Amended return stuck for 7+ months after removing fraudulent fuel credit - $8,365 balance frozen since February

My brother filed his 2023 taxes and just found out his tax preparer fraudulently added a fuel credit to his return. He filed an amended return back in August to fix this mistake, but everything seems frozen since then. I've got his transcript from this year and I'm trying to figure out what's happening with his refund. The transcript shows the following: ACCOUNT BALANCE: -$9,455.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: $0.00 AS OF: Feb. 25, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: $0.00 AS OF: Feb. 25, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): -$9,455.00 ** INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED ** EXEMPTIONS: 01 FILING STATUS: Single ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: $69,836.00 TAXABLE INCOME: $55,986.00 TAX PER RETURN: $7,723.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: $0.00 SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: $0.00 TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: $0.00 RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 15, 2024 PROCESSING DATE May 13, 2024 TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION | CYCLE | DATE | AMOUNT 150 Tax return filed | 20241705 | 05-13-2024 | $7,723.00 806 W-2 or 1099 withholding | | 04-15-2024 | -$3,568.00 810 Refund freeze | | 02-08-2024 | $0.00 766 Credit to your account | | 04-15-2024 | -$12,520.00 971 Amended tax return or claim forwarded for processing | | 07-23-2024 | $0.00 977 Amended return filed | | 07-23-2024 | $0.00 I'm confused because it shows a refund freeze from 02-08-2024, which is before he even filed his taxes. Then there's this large credit of -$12,520.00 to his account, which I'm guessing includes the fraudulent fuel credit. His amended return shows as filed and forwarded for processing on 07-23-2024, but there's been no movement since then. It's now been over 7 months since the amended return was filed and everything still appears frozen. The account balance shows -$9,455.00 which means the IRS thinks they owe him money, but he knows that's not correct because of the fraudulent credit. Why would there be a refund freeze BEFORE he even filed? And why is there no additional activity after the amended return was processed? Is this typical for fraud cases? What should he expect next? Any ideas why this is taking so long or what might be happening? Thanks for any help!

Where on IRS website can I see who withheld money from my taxes?

I need help finding information about who withheld taxes from my paychecks this past year. I'm trying to reconcile some discrepancies in my 2024 return and noticed some withholding amounts don't match what I expected. Someone mentioned there's a place on the IRS website where you can look up exactly who submitted withholdings on your behalf, but I can't find it anywhere. I've been through the IRS portal and my online account several times but no luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to find this info? Trying to get this sorted before I have to amend.

IRS refund posted to SBTPG on 2/25 but still not received in my account after two months

IRS holding my 2023 refund after Form 8862 saga - They keep 'leaving notes' but no money

Has anyone else been caught in this endless loop with the IRS refusing to release their refund? I'm at my wits end here. This is regarding my 2023 tax return. Initially they rejected it because I needed to submit Form 8862. I filed that form and they accepted it. Around November they told me my refund would be processed and sent out. Since then, every time I call, all they do is claim they'll "leave a note for the representative working my case" - a note saying I called asking about MY money. Jump to February this year and the agent said all she could do was leave ANOTHER note telling the mysterious case worker they've missed their deadline to release my funds by the end of January. Now it's mid-April and still nothing. They absolutely refuse to let me speak to this supposed representative handling my case. How do I actually talk to someone who can release my refund? I'm completely fed up. If I owed THEM money, they'd take it from me in a heartbeat. I've called literally every month for updates. This isn't even my first rodeo with them. Back in 2021, my child's father incorrectly claimed our son on a year when I had court-documented right to claim him. The IRS didn't catch this for years, then blamed ME for it. I provided all the court records proving I was supposed to claim him that year. Know what they said? Not good enough! They wanted receipts for clothes I bought and doctor's notes (we rarely go to doctors unless absolutely necessary, and he had no visits that year). I ended up owing the IRS over $9,500 and they took my entire next year's refund. I haven't received a tax refund since 2021. Now this year we filed our taxes and they immediately rejected them saying someone else already claimed our child. So we had to mail in paper forms. I'm completely over this nightmare.

Got email from TurboTax about refund being sent - how long until it hits my account?

Filed my taxes through TurboTax about 2 weeks ago and just received an email today saying my refund is on the way. Has anyone gotten this email before? How long does it typically take after this notification for the money to actually hit your bank account? I'm planning some home repairs and need to know when I can expect the cash. The WMR tool still says processing when I check it, which is confusing me even more.

Has anyone with 7/31/2025 DDD actually received their federal refund? State refund status?

Just curious if anyone else with the July 31st direct deposit date has actually seen their federal refund hit their bank account yet? My transcript updated last week showing the 7/31 date but nothing has shown up in my account. Getting a bit anxious since I really need these funds. Also wondering about state refund timelines - filed my Missouri return same time as federal (back in April) but haven't heard anything about that either. Anyone in the same situation or already received their money?
