The IRS is moving at glacier speed this year. i filed in February and just got my refund last week. the system is broken beyond belief.
Same! Filed in January and just got mine. Beyond ridiculous.
Call the IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can sometimes help when refunds are stuck like this. Number is 877-777-4778. Better than the regular IRS number.
Taxpayer advocate is even harder to reach these days. They're so backed up they're only taking "hardship" cases now.
Ur overthinking it. I did the same thing thru CK this year. Got my advance on 2/22, then the rest of my refund hit on my DDD (3/5). Nothing to worry about! Just be patient.
Hey quick question for anyone who used Credit Karma and took the advance - did you have to pay any extra fees when the full refund came through? I'm seeing mixed info online.
after 4 years of dealing with irs nonsense i finally got through to a real person using claimyr.com and it was life changing. talking to an actual agent got my refund released within days after months of weird status changes and zero communication. sometimes you just need to talk to a human being who can actually look at your file.
how long did it take to get through? i've been trying for weeks
Okay so this is gonna sound weird but check if there was a full moon when your status changed. I SWEAR the IRS systems go haywire during full moons - it's like a known thing in the tax prep community. Status often changes back a few days later.
Dead serious! My tax guy has tracked this for YEARS and swears there's a correlation. Their systems do maintenance during certain lunar cycles and it messes with the status displays. Sounds crazy but š¤·āāļø
I work in IT and this is actually more common than you'd think. Many scheduled system updates happen on preset lunar calendar schedules dating back to old government protocols. Sounds insane but it's real!
While you're waiting, make sure your banking info is correct in the IRS system. I had my DDD but the deposit got rejected because my account number was off by one digit. Took an extra 3 weeks to get a paper check š Just double check everything is right in your tax return!
The DDD is not a suggestion, it's a promise (for most people)! You'll get it on 3/12 give or take a day depending on chase and what time they process deposits. But don't expect it much earlier than that.

Omg I had to wait 11 months for my amended return to process last year. The IRS is completely overwhelmed with these. Don't trust any timeline they give you.

ā¢Worked for me! They basically wait on hold for you and call when they get an agent. Saved me hours of frustration and the agent I spoke with was actually super helpful. My return was processed within 2 weeks after that call.
