Have you considered calling your bank directly? Many banks have specific departments that handle government deposits, and they can often see pending ACH transfers before they post to your account. I've found this approach to be much more effective than waiting or trying to reach the IRS. Most banks have extended hours for their ACH departments, and they can tell you if they've received the transfer notification from the Treasury Department. This gives you a definitive answer rather than speculating based on transcript dates which, as others have mentioned, are really just release dates rather than deposit guarantees.
Do you need any special information when calling the bank about this? Will they be able to see it under my regular account, or do I need to mention it's an IRS deposit specifically?
I tried this last year and it worked perfectly! The regular customer service couldn't see anything, but when they transferred me to the ACH department, they confirmed they had received the notification and told me exactly when it would post. Saved me days of anxiety.
Lol welcome to the "refresh your bank app every 5 minutes" club! ๐ I was in the same boat last week - transcript said 3/15 but didn't hit my account until 3/18 (Monday). Nearly drove myself crazy checking all weekend! From what I've seen on this sub, about 60% get it same day, 30% next day, and 10% take 2-3 days. Seems to depend on your bank and sometimes just luck of the draw. Hang in there - it's coming! ๐ฐ
Does anyone know if offsets are applied to amended returns as well? I'm curious because I'm filing an amendment that would increase my refund, but I have old child support arrears. Would they take the additional refund amount too? Also, is there a minimum amount they'll offset? Like if I only owe $50 in arrears, will they still go through the whole offset process or is there some threshold?
Yes. Offsets apply to amended returns too. Had this happen last year. Filed 1040X. Got approved. Never saw a dime. All went to back child support. No minimum threshold either. They'll take $1 if that's what you owe.
Tbh the whole offset system is kinda messed up. I've seen ppl get hit w/ offsets for debts they didn't even know about or thought were resolved yrs ago. Sometimes the agencies don't communicate well and you end up w/ an offset even after setting up a payment plan. Def call that TOP # to verify what's happening.
Be careful. My offset looked like child support. Wasn't. Was actually old state tax debt. Called TOP number. Got details. Had to contact state revenue department. Took six weeks to resolve. Paperwork got lost twice. Keep records of everything. Take names. Get reference numbers. Don't assume agencies communicate with each other. They don't.
Filed Feb 3rd and got my deposit on Feb 24th. Here's what happened with my WMR experience: โข First week: Only showed "Return Received" โข Second week: No change, still one bar โข Third week: Jumped straight to "Refund Sent" on Feb 22nd โข Money showed up Feb 24th Never saw the middle approval bar at all. My sister had the same experience. The system seems to skip steps sometimes.
Think of the IRS processing system like a busy restaurant kitchen during dinner rush. Some orders (simple returns) get prepared quickly and come right out. Others (with credits or deductions) need special preparation and take longer. And sometimes the kitchen gets backed up regardless of when you placed your order. The February 2nd filing date puts you in the early-middle of the rush - not first in line, but not late either. The amended paperwork is like adding a special request after your order was already in the kitchen - it might cause them to pull your order back for adjustment.
FYI - SBTG usually processes within 24hrs of IRS deposit. Their system runs batch processing overnight. If IRS confirms deposit to SBTG today, you'll prob see funds tmrw or next biz day. Depends on your bank too. Some post pending deposits, others wait til fully cleared.
This SBTG situation is way better than what happened with Republic Bank refund transfers a few years back. Those would take 5-7 days sometimes! I was pulling my hair out waiting. With SBTG, I've consistently gotten my refund 2-3 days after the IRS releases it. Just keep an eye on your WMR status - once it says sent, give it 2-3 business days and you should be good.

Here's what happens with the 570 code after PATH delays: Step 1: The 570 appears, freezing your account temporarily Step 2: The IRS reviews whatever triggered the hold (can be random selection) Step 3: If no issues are found, a 571 code appears releasing the hold Step 4: The 846 code appears with your refund date Step 5: Money is sent on that date (usually arrives 1-5 days later depending on your bank) This process typically takes 2-3 weeks from the 570 date. Since yours is dated March 4th, you should see movement by March 25th if everything goes smoothly.

I'd strongly advise against checking WMR more than once daily. While it doesn't technically affect processing, I've seen cases where frequent login attempts triggered security protocols that caused 24-48 hour lockouts. Given your documentation deadline, you can't afford to lose access to your account information. Have you tried calling the IRS directly? What about requesting a tax advocate since you have a deadline that could affect your employment?
