SUCCESS! Filed 2/14, transcript updated today with DDD of 4/9! For anyone still waiting, I highly recommend checking your transcript instead of WMR. My WMR still shows only the first bar, but transcript has all the details including the 846 code with the direct deposit date. According to the r/IRS megathread, most 2/14-2/16 filers are seeing updates this week. Check https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript if you haven't already!
Got mine this morning! Was starting to think the IRS forgot about me or maybe my kids suddenly became tax-ineligible overnight š Seriously though, I was freaking out because I'm counting on it for daycare payment. Checked my account obsessively for days and then BOOM - there it was this morning, a week later than usual. Hang in there, it's probably coming soon!
It's like waiting for water to boil - the more you check, the longer it takes! My payment was delayed last month too, felt like watching paint dry while bills were stacking up. This month was right on time though.
Check for offsets. Child support? Back taxes? Student loans? Government takes these first. Happens automatically. No warning sometimes.
You need to act ASAP if you haven't received it by now! Follow these steps immediately: 1. Log into your IRS account 2. Download your account transcript for 2024 3. Look for code 290 (indicates processing) 4. Check for code 846 (indicates payment sent) 5. If you see code 570, your payment is on hold If you don't see code 846 for April, call the dedicated CTC hotline at 800-908-4184 before 4PM Eastern TODAY. They're closing cases for this payment cycle at end of day!
I would caution against assuming there's a problem just yet. The IRS processing times have been... unpredictable in recent years. While most returns might process within the standard 21-day window, many perfectly fine returns take longer, especially during peak filing season. It might be worth checking your transcript if possible, though sometimes even that shows nothing until processing is complete. The mortgage interest and property tax deductions probably aren't causing delays unless there's a significant mismatch with what your lender reported.
Been trying to call the IRS to check on mine (also Chime, also NC) and it's impossible to get through. Spent 3 hours on hold yesterday before getting disconnected. Anyone know a better way to reach them?
I was in the same boat last week and used Claimyr.com to get through to the IRS. They called me back when an agent was available instead of me sitting on hold for hours. Actually spoke to someone who confirmed my refund was approved and gave me the exact deposit date. Worth every penny since I needed that info for planning some bills. Here's their link: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c
Just got mine today! Chime user in Greensboro. Filed Feb 3rd, had the PATH Act delay, but it finally came through. Hang in there!

Does anyone know if this applies to amended returns as well? I filed my original return on February 15th but had to submit an amendment on March 10th. Should I expect the same timeline, or does the amendment restart the clock entirely?

ā¢When you filed your amendment, did you receive any acknowledgment from the IRS? I'm in a similar situation and wondering what to expect.

ā¢I amended my return last year on March 5th after filing the original in February, and it took exactly 16 weeks to process. The IRS says to allow up to 20 weeks for amended returns, and in my experience, they use most of that time.

Let me clarify something important about these deposit dates. The DDD on your transcript is the date the IRS releases the funds, not necessarily when you'll see it in your bank account. Depending on your financial institution, it could be same-day or take up to 5 business days. This is different from tax returns filed in January, which often process faster because the volume is lower compared to February filings.

ā¢This is really helpful information! I was wondering why there seemed to be a discrepancy between when people report getting their refunds versus the dates on their transcripts.

ā¢If the DDD falls on a weekend, does the IRS release funds on the Friday before or the Monday after? Anyone have experience with this?
