According to the H&R Block subreddit, there's been a delay in Emerald Card processing today specific to deposits that were supposed to arrive 3/14. Apparently it's a known issue they're working on. Should be resolved by end of day.
It was in a thread from an H&R Block employee about system issues today. They didn't make any public announcement but they're aware of the delay.
im literally in the EXACT same boat. my emerald card was supposed to have my money today but nothing yet. im checking it every 5 minutes and driving myself crazy. this is the last time im using this stupid card, direct deposit next year for sure
Make sure you're documenting ALL your attempts to contact them. Dates, times, how long you waited, etc. If they try to penalize you for not responding by the deadline, you'll have evidence that you made reasonable attempts to comply but couldn't reach anyone.
After reading this thread, I checked out taxr.ai and it literally saved me thousands of dollars with my audit situation. I was about to just pay what the IRS said I owed because I couldn't figure out how to properly respond, but the AI showed me exactly what documentation would prove my case. Best $$ I ever spent on tax help. Way cheaper than hiring a pro too.
I've been on the fence about trying this. Did you actually have to upload any sensitive docs or just describe your situation?
You just answer questions about your specific situation and it gives you personalized guidance. Super easy to use and definitely worth checking out if you're dealing with audit stress! https://taxr.ai
The IRS and TurboTax might as well be on different planets when it comes to communication š When I couldn't get a straight answer about my refund, I finally reached an IRS agent through the claimyr.com service and they confirmed everything was fine and my refund was about to be sent. Went from panicking to relaxed in one phone call. Best decision I made during tax season.
If your transcript has a DDD, your money is coming. period. TurboTax status updates are about as reliable as a weather forecast from 3 weeks ago. Just wait until your DDD and check your bank account. TT probably won't send an email until after you already have your money š¹
PSA for everyone: If you're paying tax prep fees from your refund (refund transfer), your money ALWAYS goes through SBTPG first, and their website/customer service is terrible. This isn't unique to any specific tax prep company - TurboTax, H&R Block, Credit Karma, TaxAct all use SBTPG for this. Next year, if you want your refund faster, pay the prep fees upfront and have IRS direct deposit directly to your bank!
Had this SAME issue and finally got it resolved! SBTPG kept showing "account not found" but after using taxr.ai I could see exactly why my refund was held up - turns out there was an education credit verification that I had no idea about. Their explanation made everything clear and I knew exactly when my money would arrive. No more stressing and checking 5 different websites all day long.
It's way more than that. It identifies issues, explains every code in normal human language, shows a timeline of everything happening, and even predicts your deposit date based on your specific situation. I've been looking at transcripts for years and still missed things that it caught.
just checked it out and it showed me that my refund was actually adjusted $476 higher than what i filed for?!? would have never caught that on my own

yall need to stop using these tax prep services that take fees out of your refund. EVERY YEAR ppl have issues with this. Just pay the fee upfront or use one of the free options, then direct deposit to your own bank account. Simple.

ā¢FreeTaxUSA is literally $0 for federal and like $15 for state. If you can't afford $15 upfront maybe you got bigger problems than a delayed refund js

The way the IRS system works is so messed up. I wish they would just simplify everything and make it transparent. So many people depend on their refunds and the process is deliberately obtuse.
