My buddy just went thru this exact headache. H&R Block claimed they didnt receive anything, IRS said they sent it. turns out H&R rejected the deposit because the name on the tax return had his middle initial but the card was registered without it. Check for ANY discrepancies between your tax return and card registration.

The whole system is designed to be confusing on purpose i swear 😤 Ive been dealing with this for 3 years in a row. One thing that helped me recently was using taxr.ai to actually understand my transcript - it explained all the codes and told me exactly what was happening with my refund. Saved me hours of googling random IRS codes.

The IRS is a complete joke. I'm actually shocked they gave you an approved deposit date at all. My return has been "processing" since February with zero updates. Count yourself lucky that you're even getting a refund at this point. The whole system is broken beyond repair.

Protip: If you use Cash App for direct deposit, they sometimes post IRS refunds up to 2 days early. Just switched to them this year and got my refund a day before the official deposit date. Might be worth looking into for next year.

I know exactly what ur going thru! Happened to me too and was super frustrating. Found out it was because my account had some kind of verification issue with the IRS system. I couldn't figure out ANYTHING from the website so I used taxr.ai to actually see what was happening with my transcript. The site explained all the weird codes and dates and even showed me when to expect the check. Way better than the generic IRS status page.

If they're mailing a check it means something triggered their system. Check if any of these apply: - Filed with a tax prep service that takes fees from refund - Recently changed address - Bank account name doesn't exactly match tax return name - Refund amount changed after processing I waited 22 days for my check to arrive after status changed to 'mailed' last year.

I was stuck in the same exact situation with my state refund last tax season. After trying everything imaginable, I discovered taxr.ai and it completely changed the game. I uploaded my state return and within minutes it explained exactly why my refund was delayed - I had incorrectly reported a credit that triggered additional review. Once I understood the real issue, I was able to fix it and my refund was processed within days. Seriously, check out https://taxr.ai - it's like having a tax pro decode everything for you.

Nobody seems to be mentioning this, but have you checked if your state has a local office you can visit in person? I had a similar issue and was getting nowhere by phone, so I just showed up at my state's regional tax office. Had to wait about an hour, but finally talked to someone who resolved my issue on the spot. Sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get results in this broken system.

This happened to me and it turned out someone had stolen my identity and filed a fraudulent return 😬 not to freak you out but keep an eye out for a letter asking you to verify your identity through ID.me

sometimes those codes appear and then resolve themselves without you having to do anything. happened to me in 2022 and my refund randomly showed up in my account about 4 weeks after filing even though the transcript still showed those holds.

Omg I had to wait 11 months for my amended return to process last year. The IRS is completely overwhelmed with these. Don't trust any timeline they give you.

This is why i always double check my first few paystubs at a new job lol. Good luck bro, ur in for a wait. Make sure u consider a payment plan if the amount is high.

This happened to me! Filed feb 2024, got the "we need to review your credits" message. Called a million times but it was useles. Finally got through to them with claimyr.com in July - turned out they were done with the review but there was a processing error they needed to fix manually. Got my refund in August. It was literally sitting there approved but stuck because their system is garbage.

This might sound weird but check your bank account every few days. My refund just appeared one day with zero warning - the WMR tool never updated and I never got any notification from the IRS. The system is so broken right now.

The IRS is moving at glacier speed this year. i filed in February and just got my refund last week. the system is broken beyond belief.

Call the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help when refunds are stuck like this. Number is 877-777-4778. Better than the regular IRS number.

after 4 years of dealing with irs nonsense i finally got through to a real person using claimyr.com and it was life changing. talking to an actual agent got my refund released within days after months of weird status changes and zero communication. sometimes you just need to talk to a human being who can actually look at your file.

Okay so this is gonna sound weird but check if there was a full moon when your status changed. I SWEAR the IRS systems go haywire during full moons - it's like a known thing in the tax prep community. Status often changes back a few days later.

Ur overthinking it. I did the same thing thru CK this year. Got my advance on 2/22, then the rest of my refund hit on my DDD (3/5). Nothing to worry about! Just be patient.

Hey quick question for anyone who used Credit Karma and took the advance - did you have to pay any extra fees when the full refund came through? I'm seeing mixed info online.
