The IRS "Where's My Refund" tool is utterly useless. It just says "approved" with no details on when it was sent. After spinning my wheels for weeks, I finally used Claimyr.com to get a callback from an actual IRS agent. The agent could see details that weren't visible online and explained exactly where my refund was in the process. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent without spending literally all day on hold.
It works! They just navigate the IRS phone system and get you in the callback queue. When the IRS is ready, a real IRS agent calls you. Saved me from listening to that awful hold music for hours. I spent weeks trying to get through on my own with no luck.
THIS IS WHY I STOPPED USING TURBOTAX! They add so many extra steps to the process. Next year file directly with the IRS using their free file program, or try FreeTaxUSA. You'll get your refund faster and won't have to deal with SBTPG as a middleman.
Yeah def looking at other options for next year. The convenience isnt worth the anxiety of waiting for my money.
yall are making me jealous. filed 1/29, accepted 1/30, still nothing. called IRS multiple times but cant get through. feel like my return got sent to a black hole somewhere š³ļø
cant access my transcript cus id.me verification is a nightmare. tried 5 times and it keeps failing.
After weeks of not being able to reach anyone at the IRS, I used Claimyr and got a callback in 40 minutes. Found out there was a simple issue with my return they needed to verify. Worth every penny not to wait hours on hold or call 100 times!
Are you claiming any credits like Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit? Those automatically delay processing until at least mid-February due to the PATH Act, even if you filed in January. That might explain the discrepancy in what you're seeing.
Yes I am claiming EIC. But my WMR is showing the DDD of 3/12 so I think I'm past that PATH Act hold period now? Just wondering why TurboTax hasn't caught up.
If you have a DDD, then yes you're past the PATH Act hold. TurboTax just sucks at updating status - they don't actually have real-time access to IRS systems so they're always behind.
You guys need to stop obsessing over these apps and just wait for your money. Checking 10 times a day won't make it come any faster.
I get it, but the stress isn't helping anything. The IRS runs on their own timeline regardless of how much we check.
i never trust the apps that offer "faster refunds" or take fees from your refund. They always take longer in my experience. I'd rather wait for direct deposit to my actual bank account.
Update from my end: DDD 3/15 with Venmo, just deposited at 3:35pm. Hope everyone else gets theirs soon!
Just checked and mine arrived too! FINALLY

I spent 3 hours on hold with IRS yesterday trying to figure out why my direct deposit was delayed. was just about to hang up when I remembered claimyr.com from another thread here. Got a call back with an agent in 45 mins! Found out my refund had a small error that needed clearing. Got it fixed and my deposit hit this morning! talking to an agent got my refund released so fast.

LPT: If you really need your refund fast and reliable, just select the paper check option. SIKE! That's even worse š
