Call the IRS immediately. I know from experience they won't do anything until you contact them. I spent weeks waiting before I finally got through using Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). They got me past the hold times and connected to an agent who manually triggered my check to be mailed. Had it within 5 days after that call. Don't wait for the automatic process - it can take months during busy season.

Have you possibly filed a change of address form with the IRS already? It might be worth considering whether the check will be sent to your previous address if that's what was on your tax return. Also, did you by chance set up direct deposit information in your tax software that might override what the IRS has on file?

Try checking your account details. Verify routing number. Confirm account number. Check for bank mergers. Look at transcript for code TC846. See if amount matches expected refund. Check for offsets. Verify filing status. Most deposits post by 5pm. Some banks delay until next business day. Hope this helps.

I believe most of us with today's DDD will probably see our deposits appear throughout the day, though I'd suggest not worrying too much until the end of banking hours. In previous years, my credit union has sometimes posted IRS deposits as late as 4pm, while my partner's bank typically posts around midday. The banking system seems to process these in waves rather than all at once.

Has anyone here actually had success getting through to their state tax department by phone? It's like trying to find water in a desert for me. I've been trying for weeks with my state (Illinois) and either get disconnected or told the wait time is over 2 hours.

Have you considered reaching out to your state representative or senator's office? Their constituent services can sometimes cut through red tape with state agencies. It's free and they often have direct contacts at the state tax department. Worked for me last year when my state refund was stuck for months.

Listen up - I worked at Jackson Hewitt in Florida for three tax seasons. DO NOT call their customer service about your refund timing. They have ZERO insight beyond what you can see yourself on the IRS Where's My Refund tool. They'll just tell you to be patient. Instead, create an account on the IRS website and check your transcript directly. This will show exactly where your return is in processing. Many Florida JH offices are franchises with different owners, so quality varies dramatically by location. Next year, consider filing yourself and save the $200+ they're charging you for basic data entry.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the Florida-specific processing issues this year! I was stuck waiting too until I tried these: • Check if you're affected by the PATH Act (this delays refunds with certain credits) • Request your tax transcript directly from IRS.gov • Use the "Where's My Refund" tool with your EXACT refund amount • Contact your local Taxpayer Advocate Service if it's been more than 21 days The Jackson Hewitt refund tracker is notoriously inaccurate compared to the official IRS tools. Who knew tax refunds could be this complicated?

I completed my phone verification exactly 23 days ago! It was surprisingly easy. The agent asked me 6 verification questions that took precisely 12 minutes to answer. My transcript updated exactly 2 days later with codes 971 and 570, which then changed to 571 and 846 after 5 more days. My refund of $4,237 was deposited on day 9 after verification. I had prepared 14 different documents but only needed 3 of them. The whole process was much less stressful than I expected!

Quick follow-up question for you: • Did they tell you specifically why your return was flagged for verification? • Were you claiming any specific credits that might have triggered this? • Did you file with a tax preparer or self-prepare? I'm trying to identify patterns in who gets selected for verification vs. full-blown identity verification letters. This could help others prepare proactively next tax season.
