Filed my taxes back in February, got accepted within 2 days. Everything seemed fine until I noticed my WMR bar disappeared about 3 weeks after filing. Been checking my transcript regularly since then and I've got a cycle code of 0705. The last update was on April 24th showing processing date of May 9th, but here we are halfway through June with no 846 refund code showing up. My tax situation isn't complicated at all - standard deduction, W2 income, and a small education credit. No EIC, no dependents. Anyone else with a 0705 cycle code still waiting for their refund to be issued? How long did it take for your 846 code to appear after your processing date passed?
just echoing what others have already said but the ONLY way I was able to finally get my refund was talking to an actual IRS person. tried for 2 weeks to get through using the normal number. finally used Claimyr and got a callback in under 2 hours. turns out they just needed to verify one piece of info and the agent processed my refund right then and there. sometimes you just need to talk to a human to fix these problems.
I'm in the exact same boat with a 0705 cycle code and have been waiting since March! My transcript shows the 570/971 codes from May 2nd but still no letter has arrived. It's so frustrating because my return is super simple too - just W2 income and standard deduction. I've been checking my transcript every Friday morning like clockwork but nothing changes. Starting to wonder if I should just bite the bullet and try to get through to someone at the IRS directly since so many people here seem to have success once they talk to a real person. This whole process is mentally exhausting when you're waiting on money you're owed!
Just got my CA state refund authorized. The FTB website says it was approved on Friday, February 15, 2025. I checked the webapp.ftb.ca.gov refund status page and it shows my current status with three stages clearly marked: Received, Processing, and Issued. When I log in to check my refund status on the FTB website (webapp.ftb.ca.gov), I can see the full details under "Your Refund Results" section. It specifically states: "We authorized your refund on Friday, February 15, 2025." The site is telling me to "allow 10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or 25 business days to receive your refund by check." I opted for direct deposit, so I'm hoping it will arrive within those 10 business days they mention. The FTB page also has this note at the bottom that says "If we made any adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail." I haven't received anything in the mail yet, so I'm assuming my return was processed without adjustments. Has anyone else gotten the same authorization date (Feb 15)? I'm curious about others' experiences with how accurate these timeframes are. Did you actually receive your direct deposit within the 10 business days they promise? Or for those who got a paper check, did it really take the full 25 business days?
Just checked my transcripts and I'm SO EXCITED to see they finally updated!!! ππ But of course, Where's My Refund is still down and not showing anything useful. Typical IRS! I've been checking every single day since filing in February and it's been such an emotional rollercoaster. I'm trying to juggle summer camp payments for the kids, car repairs, and this refund would help with ALL of it. Has anyone else noticed their transcripts updating recently? I can see my refund amount and date now, but WMR still shows the first bar. I've documented every single change in my account because I'm not taking any chances this year after last year's disaster. Do you think I'll actually get my deposit on the date shown on the transcript? I need this money ASAP but don't want to count on it until it's actually in my account!
I've been tracking refund patterns this tax season, and I'm seeing a clear trend of transcripts updating 3-5 days before WMR updates. What specific codes do you see on your transcript? Have you checked for a 570 code (indicates a temporary hold) or a 971 code (notice issued)? If you only see the 846 code with a future date, that's very promising. Did you claim any refundable credits like the Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Credit that might trigger additional verification?
This is so relatable! π€ I'm going through the EXACT same thing right now - transcript updated showing my refund date but WMR is still stuck on that useless first bar. It's honestly infuriating how their systems can't sync up properly in 2025! From what I've learned lurking in this community, the transcript is definitely the more reliable source. If you see that 846 code with a date, that's typically when your deposit will hit. I've been documenting everything too after reading horror stories from previous years. The waiting game is brutal though, especially when you have real expenses waiting on that money. Fingers crossed both our deposits come through on schedule! π€ Keep us posted when yours hits - it gives the rest of us hope!
I noticed my transcripts just got updated this morning. My refund amount has been updated and it shows a direct deposit date for today 3/12/2025. Does that mean I'll get my refund later today or does it usually hit the next day? I'm with Chase bank if that makes any difference. Never had this situation before, usually I see the deposit date is a few days out.
It depends on your bank and sometimes the time of day the IRS sends it. Chase usually posts overnight, so probably tomorrow morning. But I've seen some people get it same day if the IRS sends it early enough. Either way, you're in the home stretch! If you check your Chase app regularly you might see it pending before it posts.
I've been through this exact same situation with Chase! When your transcript shows a DDD (direct deposit date) for today, it means the IRS has officially processed and sent your refund to Chase. In my experience with Chase, they typically post these deposits overnight between 2-4 AM the next business day. So if your DDD is today (3/12), you'll most likely see it in your account tomorrow morning (3/13). I always set my alarm early on refund day because there's nothing quite like waking up to see that deposit hit! The waiting is torture but you're literally hours away from getting your money. Chase is pretty reliable with posting IRS refunds quickly once they receive them.

Based on your transcript, it looks like you had a refund of $9,435 issued on 03-09-2026 (code 846), but then $5,300.70 of that refund was applied to a non-IRS debt on the same date (code 898). This means you would have received the remaining amount ($9,435 - $5,300.70 = $4,134.30) as your actual refund payment. The $5,300.70 went directly to pay off a debt you had with another agency (like student loans, child support, or other federal/state debts). You won't receive that $5,300.70 as a separate payment since it was used to satisfy the outstanding debt. If you weren't expecting this offset, you should have received a notice explaining what debt was paid.

Author@Tyrone Johnson the only debt i owed was $156 to child support so Iβm confused as to why they decided they were gonna take $5.3k i already called the offset line so this doesnβt make sense to me
