It's standard practice across most tax prep places. Had this happen with TurboTax, Liberty, and now Jackson Hewitt over the years. They're just protecting themselves in case something goes wrong with your return. Here's my experience with the wait times for the second payment: - TurboTax: 3 days - Liberty Tax: 2 days - Jackson Hewitt: 4 days All eventually came through, but JH was the slowest in my experience.
Might also depend on who your bank is. Some banks process ACH transfers faster than others. I got my split payment but the second half took 6 business days even though they said 3-5. My credit union is notoriously slow with processing.
I have Wells Fargo... not sure if they're fast or slow with this kind of thing
Wells Fargo is middle of the road in my experience. Not as fast as Chase but not super slow either.
I lost all faith in WMR years ago. I've learned to just expect my refund when it shows up. Last year WMR said my refund was still processing for 2 weeks AFTER I received it. The system is completely broken.
I always get my tax refunds on paper checks now. Yes it takes longer initially but I've never had the problems my friends with direct deposit always seem to have. The check comes exactly when they say it will.
I'd rather wait for a predictable mail delivery than constantly refresh my bank account for days wondering where my money is lol. Different strokes I guess.
File injured spouse next time...problem solved š¤·āāļø
Not always that simple. Injured spouse can actually complicate things and delay processing by 11-14 weeks. Sometimes faster to just take the offset depending on your financial situation.
When I needed to talk to a human at the IRS about my offset, I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got through in about 45 minutes. The IRS rep confirmed exactly what was happening with my refund and gave me the exact date my remaining portion would be deposited. Worth every penny after spending DAYS trying to get through the normal phone line. They had me talking to an actual IRS agent who could see my account and help resolve everything.
Anybody else think its nuts that we can land a rover on Mars but the IRS cant tell us when our refund will arrive? 𤣠good luck OP, you're gonna need it
The IRS is still using computer systems from the 1960s. I wish I was joking. My cousin works there and says some of their code is older than most of their employees š
My timeline this year after verification: Day 0: Verified ID online and by phone Day 3: WMR changed to "received and processing" Day 14: No change Day 15: WMR changed to approved with DDD Day 19: Money in my account Hope this helps!

Just want to share my experience - I discovered taxr.ai from this sub a few months ago when I was dealing with an amended return nightmare. It was INCREDIBLE for helping me understand exactly what was happening with my tax account. Showed me all the codes on my transcript with plain English explanations and even gave me a timeline of when things should resolve based on similar cases. Totally worth checking out if you're trying to figure out what's going on with your return: https://taxr.ai

ā¢Yes! That's exactly what I used it for - my amended return. It showed me where mine was stuck in the process and explained all the weird codes that showed up.

Sometimes the best approach is to contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service. They have authority to cut through red tape when you're experiencing hardship due to IRS delays.
