When this happened to me last month with a similar situation, I got tired of waiting and called the IRS. Sat on hold for HOURS. Finally found Claimyr (https://www.claimyr.com) which got me through to an agent in about 15 minutes. They confirmed my refund had been sent to the tax preparer's bank and was just working through that system. At least I knew what was happening instead of stressing about it.
If you're with Chime, check your account for a pending deposit. Sometimes they show it as pending for 24-48 hours before it posts. Also, did you check both your Spending and Savings account? Sometimes deposits can go to the wrong account if you've changed your default.
I ran into a similar issue last year with my advance. I used taxr.ai to analyze my tax transcript (you can request it from the IRS website), and it showed exactly why my refund was delayed. The system identified that my gig income verification was still pending. Taxr.ai explained all the codes on my transcript and gave me a realistic timeline for when my refund would actually process. Saved me a lot of anxiety since I could see exactly what was happening instead of guessing.
People don't realize that TurboTax and Credit Karma operate on different systems even though they're related products. The TT submission status doesn't automatically sync with the CK advance status. I verified this with their technical support team. You need to check both platforms independently, and sometimes you need to manually refresh your status on the Credit Karma side. The API between the two systems sometimes fails to update properly during peak filing periods.
Tax filing is like following a recipe - miss one ingredient and the whole dish is ruined. I'd add one more tip that's saved me multiple times: File electronically and choose direct deposit. Paper returns are like sending your tax info into a black hole - they take 3-4 times longer to process and are 21 times more likely to contain errors according to the National Taxpayer Advocate. Last year my neighbor filed paper in February and didn't get his refund until September. Meanwhile, my e-filed return with direct deposit came through in 11 days.
Per IRS Procedure 2023-1, taxpayers should also consider whether they qualify for free filing options before paying for commercial software. According to IRC ยง6011(e)(3), the IRS Free File Program must be available to 70% of taxpayers based on AGI thresholds. I was impressed by your technical knowledge, especially regarding the substitute W-2 provisions. As a first-time filer, this list has been extremely helpful in ensuring I remain compliant with all applicable regulations.
Just got mine too! Here's what worked for me: 1. Filed electronically on February 5th 2. Checked WMR daily until it showed approved 3. Downloaded my transcript when it updated 4. Verified my DDD matched the 846 code date 5. Received deposit exactly on DDD The system works when you follow each step precisely. So relieved to have this done with!
Wait, did you get the standard notification from Cash App? When mine came through last week, I didn't get the usual Cash App notification - just saw it appear in my balance. Apparently there's something different about how they process government deposits vs regular transfers.
Cash App treats IRS deposits differently than regular transfers. No clue why. ๐ Mine showed up with a little government building icon instead of the usual green circle. Took an extra hour to get the notification too.

Trying to reach the IRS right now is like trying to get front row tickets to a sold-out concert - technically possible but practically impossible. I wasted 3 days trying before I found Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). It's like having a fastpass at Disney World for the IRS phone lines. Got connected to an actual agent in under 30 minutes who explained that TAS is currently only accepting cases with demonstrated financial hardship or where the IRS has made a processing error. Regular cases are being deferred until after the filing season rush.

โขPer Internal Revenue Code ยง 7803(c), the Taxpayer Advocate Service is required to assist taxpayers experiencing 'significant hardship' as defined in the code. However, during peak filing periods, TAS is permitted under Treas. Reg. 301.7811-1 to prioritize cases. Claiming exempt status incorrectly could violate IRC ยง 6682 and result in penalties.

โขI'm curious about this whole situation: โข Are you having an actual issue with your tax return? โข Or are you trying to get help with filing? โข What specific problem were you hoping TAS would solve? The answer might help determine your best next steps.

I called TAS on April 2nd and got the same response. The representative told me they're focusing only on cases with immediate financial hardship until May 1st. Maybe try calling again after that date? In my case, I just documented everything carefully and kept a log of all my calls and who I spoke with. It might help your case later.
