Can you check WMR? Shows IRS status. Not preparer status. Might show "sent" already. Would confirm it's with preparer now. Not still with IRS.

I went through exactly this last year with my military move. Think of it like your refund taking a detour through another city before reaching you. I called my preparer on day 3 of waiting and politely asked for the status. Turns out they had actually received it already but hadn't processed the transfer yet. Like a package sitting in the warehouse waiting to be loaded on the delivery truck. A friendly call can sometimes move your "package" to the front of the line. I got my deposit the next day after calling, which was two days before their "official" date they had given me.

I'm seeing the exact same pattern as last year. Filed February 2nd with EITC, transcript showed N/A for weeks, then suddenly on March 10th my transcript updated with codes 570 and 971 dated March 18th. Last year when this happened, I received a letter requesting verification of my dependents about a week later. After I sent the documentation, it took another 3 weeks to get my refund. The technical term for this is 'manual review' and it's much more common with PATH Act returns. Check your transcript for these hold codes.

For anyone still waiting on PATH Act processing, here's what I've learned from 3 years of this: • Check transcripts NOT WMR - transcripts update first • Early February is when most PATH releases happen • Look for Transaction Code 846 - that's your refund date • Bars disappearing on WMR is NORMAL • Code 570 means temporary hold • Don't panic if you get code 971 - often just a notice I'm down to the wire on some bills that need paying ASAP! Anyone know if the PATH Act processing is faster or slower this year compared to 2023?

I believe there might be some confusion about how the deposit system works. From my understanding, the IRS releases funds to the financial institutions according to the DDD, but then each institution has their own processing schedule. Cashapp tends to be relatively quick, but there are no guarantees about exact timing. It would be prudent to allow at least 24-48 hours after your DDD before becoming concerned. The Treasury processing system follows specific protocols that are outside the control of both the IRS and the receiving financial institution.

I've tracked my refunds like a meteorologist tracks storm patterns for the past 8 tax seasons. What I've found is that Cashapp typically posts deposits between 11am-2pm Eastern on the actual DDD. It's like waiting for a train - the schedule says 2:00, but sometimes it arrives at 1:55 and sometimes at 2:10. Traditional banks often show pending deposits a day early, but Cashapp doesn't show pending - it just appears when processed. Check your account around midday today, and I'd bet it will be there.

Just got my refund this morning with the same setup as you. Credit Karma with 2/25 DDD and fees taken out. My SBTPG never updated until after the money was already in my account. Much faster than last year when I used TurboTax - that took almost a week after DDD. For me, the SBTPG website was completely useless but the money still came through. Bank shows it was processed at 4am today.

I'm in a similar boat with DDD of 2/25/25 but I'm using TurboTax. My transcript updated on February 19th, but nothing has shown in my account yet. Called my bank on February 22nd and they said they don't even see a pending deposit. Really worried because I've read horror stories about refunds being stuck at SBTPG for weeks! Especially concerned since I filed on January 29th and it's already been so long.

IMO ur fine. IRS is super backed up rn. Lots of ppl w/ same issue. The Jan filers seem to be in a weird limbo this yr. My bro filed 1/29 and got his DD yesterday, but I filed 1/22 and still nothing. Makes zero sense tbh. The system isn't FIFO like they claim. Just hang tight a bit longer before stressing.

I filed on January 19th, 2024 and was in exactly the same situation until February 15th when my transcript finally updated. I checked every morning at 6:00 AM for 27 days straight with no changes. Then on February 16th my WMR updated to approved, and I received my direct deposit on February 21st. Based on the dates, it seems the IRS is processing January filers in batches, and they're taking about 4-5 weeks this year instead of the usual 2-3 weeks. I'd mark March 1st on your calendar - if you don't see any updates by then, that's when I'd consider calling.
