It might be worth contacting your bank directly to see if they can check for any pending deposits or rejected transactions. Sometimes, particularly with certain financial institutions, they might possibly have received the deposit but placed a temporary hold on it due to various verification requirements. Additionally, you could potentially request that they specifically look for any incoming ACH transfers from the Treasury Department, as these might occasionally be processed differently than regular deposits.

I just learned something important about this year's refund processing that might help explain your situation: Step 1: The IRS is batching refunds differently this year. Some deposits that would normally go out on Wednesdays are now being processed on Fridays. Step 2: The Treasury Department has implemented new fraud prevention measures that can add 1-3 business days to the processing time after your DDD. Step 3: Many banks don't process incoming government deposits on weekends, so if your DDD was a Thursday or Friday, it might not hit until the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Step 4: If your refund amount was over $10,000, additional verification is automatically triggered, which doesn't show up in the WMR tool but will delay your deposit.

This is SO FRUSTRATING!!! I'm in the exact same boat and I need my money NOW! Filed January 23rd the minute the system opened, accepted same day, and I'm still waiting with the same codes you have! I've planned everything around getting this refund by mid-February and now I'm having to put car repairs on credit cards! I've called the IRS 14 times and can't get through to anyone! I'm checking my transcript every single morning at 6am hoping to see that beautiful 846 code!

Got accepted 1/23. Had 570/971 codes. Waited 3 weeks. DDD appeared last Thursday. Money deposited Tuesday. No contact from IRS. No changes to refund amount. Just normal processing. Path Act doesn't apply to me either. System works slowly. Just wait.

I think I might have some helpful information about this... I had an 810 code this filing season and verified through ID.me on March 2nd. My transcript didn't update for about 12 days, then suddenly showed a 971 notice issued. Four days after that, I received code 846 with a DDD. So approximately 16 days total from verification to having a deposit date. From what I understand, there's generally a 9-21 day window for processing after verification, but it can sometimes be faster or slower depending on your specific tax situation and whether there are any other issues they need to review.

OMG this whole process is INSANE!! 😡 I had no idea what I was getting into with this 810 code! I verified my identity last week and I'm STILL waiting for any updates. My rent is due next week and I'm freaking out! Has anyone tried calling the Taxpayer Advocate Service instead? I heard they can sometimes push things through faster if you have a hardship situation? I'm seriously considering that route because this wait is unbearable!

I was in the EXACT same situation on February 18th. Filed on 2/2, verified on 2/11, and my WMR changed just like yours. My transcripts finally updated on March 2nd and I got my refund on March 5th. The system IS working, it's just painfully slow this year. And yes, people who filed after me got their refunds first too, which was super frustrating. Just hang in there - based on my timeline, you should see movement very soon.

I've been tracking my tax return processing for the last three years, and I've noticed some patterns that might help explain what's happening: 1. First, check if you claimed any credits (EIC, CTC, etc.) as these automatically add 2-3 weeks 2. Next, look at your filing method - did you use a tax preparer or DIY software? 3. Then consider if you had any unusual deductions or income sources 4. Finally, did you opt for direct deposit or paper check? In my experience, the simplest returns with no credits, standard deduction, W-2 income only, and direct deposit get processed first regardless of filing date. It's not fair, but it seems to be how their system prioritizes workload.

Have you tried contacting the Taxpayer Advocate Service yet? They can often intervene when there are these kinds of communication breakdowns within the IRS. What exactly did the first agent tell you about the verification process? And did either agent provide you with a reference number for your case?

I feel your pain! Last year I was stuck in identity verification purgatory for THREE MONTHS. 😩 They kept telling me they sent a letter that never arrived. What finally worked was calling at exactly 7:00am Eastern (when they first open) and specifically asking for the identity verification department. The morning staff seemed to have more authority to help, oddly enough. Had to provide my driver's license number, last year's AGI, and answer some questions about my credit history. Refund showed up two weeks later like magic! Hang in there - it's frustrating but solvable!
