Check your bank account, not TurboTax. TurboTax doesn't always update correctly. I filed March 2nd. My refund hit my account yesterday with no warning. WMR still shows processing. Transcripts updated last Friday. IRS doesn't follow their own timelines anymore.

In my experience with filing on March 1st for the past three tax seasons, there's a pretty consistent pattern. Last year I filed on March 1st and saw my refund exactly 17 days later. The year before was 21 days. This year I filed March 1st again and just got my deposit yesterday - so 20 days total. The community wisdom is that early March filers typically see 17-21 day processing times unless there are complications with credits or verification issues. Your state refund is definitely a good sign! I always tell friends that the transcript is your best friend during tax season - it updates way before WMR does.

Have you considered the possibility of an ERS hold? Self-employment returns often get flagged for Error Resolution System review, especially with dependent-related credits. The Integrated Automation Technologies system might have your return in queue for manual verification. The transcripts showing blank with a March 24 date suggests possible IDRS cycle code assignment without transcript generation completion. Did you receive CP05 notice requesting additional verification?

I think everyone's overthinking this. Have you checked if your return is affected by the PATH Act? This happens with certain credits and causes a mandatory hold until mid-February. Did you claim EITC or ACTC with your dependents? Also, have you tried checking your account transcript instead of just the return transcript? Sometimes one updates before the other.

Oh gosh, I've been through this exact situation! The 570 code with an 'as of date' usually means they're reviewing something specific on your return. Based on the timeline you've shared: - Paper filed on Jan 27th ✓ - Processing started Feb 4th ✓ - Current date is mid-March ✓ - As of date shows March 24th ✓ I'd expect one of two things to happen: 1. The hold resolves automatically (look for code 571 followed by 846 with your refund date) 2. You'll receive a letter requesting additional information Since it's been about 6 weeks since processing began, I'm worried you might be cutting it close for getting the refund by month-end. The fact that it's a prior year return (2021) filed on paper means it's likely going through additional verification. I'm feeling anxious for you because I know how important this is for your remote work setup!

I just went through something similar with my 2021 paper return! According to the IRS.gov website FAQ section (https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions), the 570 code means there's a temporary hold while they review something. In my case, they were just verifying my identity because I hadn't filed for a couple years. My timeline was: - Filed paper return on Dec 20, 2024 - Processing started Jan 15, 2025 - 570 code appeared Feb 10 with "as of date" March 5 - 571 code (hold released) appeared Feb 28 - 846 code with refund date appeared March 7 - Refund received March 12 Does anyone know if this sounds similar to what might happen with OP's return?

Stop using tax prep services that offer bank products. They're almost always a bad deal. Next year, file directly with the IRS and get direct deposit to your own bank account. You'll get your money faster and avoid these middleman delays. Republic Bank is just a pass-through that adds another layer of potential problems. If you need your refund now, call Republic directly at their customer service line and ask for a trace on your check.

Just to clarify something important - Republic Bank isn't actually sending you an IRS check. What's happening is the IRS sent your refund to Republic, then Republic takes out any fees you agreed to, and THEN Republic issues you their own check for the remaining amount. This is way different from getting a direct deposit or a check straight from the IRS. That's why when you call the IRS they'll just tell you the refund was already issued (to Republic, not to you). Republic's customer service is notoriously worse than even the IRS during tax season.

I believe I might be able to help explain what's happening with your specific situation. The state and federal refund systems operate on completely separate processing schedules, which is why you received your state refund first. For Chime accounts specifically, there appears to be a potential pattern this tax season where: • If your DD date falls on a Tuesday (like your 3/12), deposits typically arrive Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning • The system seems to process batches around 10am, 2pm, and 4pm Eastern • Some users report that checking your Chime account too frequently can sometimes delay the notification It's perfectly normal to still be waiting, and I wouldn't be concerned unless it hasn't arrived by the end of day tomorrow. I hope this helps ease your mind somewhat during this waiting period.

According to the IRS2Go app and several reputable tax forums, Chime's early deposit feature works differently with government refunds than with regular paychecks. The IRS sends refunds in batches, not continuously throughout the day. If you check the Chime subreddit, you'll see most people with 3/12 dates are still waiting too. The real pattern I've noticed from tracking these posts is that your state's processing efficiency has little correlation with federal timing. Don't stress unless you pass your actual DD date without receiving funds.
