I went through this exact scenario three weeks ago. Here's what happened step by step: 1. Filed my return on February 10th 2. Got letter about ID verification on March 1st 3. Called IRS on March 5th, was told verification was reversed 4. Transcript updated with code 571 on March 10th 5. DDD appeared on transcript on March 12th 6. Money in my account on March 14th Total time from being told verification was reversed to money in account: 9 days. Hope this helps set your expectations!
Word of caution: I had this happen last year and thought everything was fine, but then my return got flagged for a different issue two weeks later. The reversal of ID verification doesn't guarantee smooth sailing. In my case, they reversed the verification but then selected my return for a random review of education credits. This added another 45 days to my processing time. Not trying to worry you, but just be aware that one hurdle cleared doesn't mean you're completely in the clear. The IRS has multiple layers of review that operate independently.
I've been through this frustration. Here's what I learned: β’ Cash App deposits aren't processed any differently by the IRS β’ Filing after mid-February puts you in the high-volume period β’ International status sometimes triggers additional review β’ The "Where's My Refund" tool often doesn't update properly β’ Transcripts give more accurate information than WMR I filed 2/15 and just got my refund yesterday. Patience is unfortunately the only solution unless there's an actual error.
I've been tracking refund patterns for several years now. On March 12th, 2024, the IRS announced they're experiencing higher than normal processing times due to increased fraud prevention measures. Returns filed on February 22nd typically would process by March 14th in normal years, but this year we're seeing 30-45 day timelines becoming standard. April 5th would be your 43-day mark, so I'd expect movement by then. If April 8th comes with no update, that's when I'd recommend contacting them directly.
I was in the exact same situation on March 15th last year with my Credit Karma advance. The TPG status stayed on "unfunded" for almost 5 days after my WMR showed approved. Everyone else I knew had already updated to funded. I totally understand how stressful it is - I remember checking constantly! The community wisdom seems to be that Credit Karma advances specifically have longer processing times with TPG than other banks. Hang in there, it's probably just working through their system!
There's actually some additional information about this specific issue on the TPG help center. They're experiencing a synchronization delay with Credit Karma advances due to an API update that happened last week. Have you tried calling their automated status line instead of checking online? Sometimes the phone system has more updated information than the website. What date did your WMR change to approved? And does your transcript show code 846 with a direct deposit date?
What you're experiencing is likely a result of the somewhat unusual timing in the ACH network processing schedule. TPG probably received what's called a "pre-notification" of incoming funds, which is essentially a heads-up that money is in transit. In most cases, though not all, these pre-notifications are indeed followed by actual deposits within 24-48 hours. I would suggest, perhaps, checking your bank account around mid-day tomorrow, as many financial institutions process incoming ACH transfers in batches throughout the business day.
Dealing with TPG is like trying to get a straight answer from a magic 8-ball sometimes. Last year they told me my refund was coming "tomorrow" for THREE DAYS IN A ROW. The money was basically stuck in financial purgatory between TPG and my bank. Each blamed the other. If I were you, I wouldn't count on that money until it's actually in your account. TPG is just the middleman taking a cut of your refund for the convenience of letting you pay your tax prep fees later. They're not exactly rushing to get your money to you - it's like expecting the toll booth operator to help you get to your destination faster.

I had the exact same codes on March 12th. Got a letter dated March 15th asking to verify my identity. Called the number in the letter on March 18th, verified myself, and my refund was deposited on April 2nd. The 03 cycle code typically means your account updates on Wednesdays, so check your transcript again tomorrow. If you don't receive a letter by April 15th, I'd definitely call to see what's happening.

Got the same codes back in Feb. Freaked out at first ngl. 570 showed up first, then 971 a week later. Then boom - got a 571 (release of hold) and 846 (refund issued) exactly 14 days after the 971 appeared. DD hit my acct 2 days after that. Hang tight, prob just CTC verification. Super common this yr.

β’Did you have to do anything to get the hold released or did it just happen automatically?
