I work for a tax office (not one of the big chains) and we actually try to discourage clients from having fees taken from their refund precisely because of these extra charges. But about 70% of people still choose that option anyway, and then get mad when they see the final cost. š©
I think this speaks to the economic reality that many Americans don't have $300-400 available at tax time to pay upfront. So they're stuck paying the extra fees.
This whole system is a joke. They expect us to pay on time but take 6+ months to send refunds? And then charge interest when we're late but don't pay interest when THEY are? Make it make sense.
The interest they pay is nothing compared to what you could have done with that money if you had it on time. It's a scam.
Everyone saying 'just call the IRS' has clearly not tried calling the IRS lately 𤣠I spent TWO WEEKS trying to get through. Finally used claimyr.com to get connected and found out what was wrong with my return. Worth every penny to get it resolved and get my refund.
Wow, I literally came here to post this exact question! I have a TurboTax card with 3/15 DDD and nothing yet. Called their customer service line and waited 47 minutes just to be told "it can take up to 5 business days after the DDD to show up" which is NOT what they advertised when I signed up for the stupid card. Never again.
Ugh that's so frustrating! Did they tell you anything else helpful or just to wait?
Just to wait š Total waste of time. The rep couldn't even see if the deposit was pending or anything.
If u got a DD of March 15th n u r going thru TurboTax it could take 3 to 5 days. I know its annoying but just hang in there. Same thing happened to me last year and I got it exactly 3 days after my DDD. The banks like to hold onto our money for a few days so they can make interest on it. sucks but thats how it is
Dude i just went thru this exact same thing last week. State came fast, fed was supposed to deposit wednesday. Checked transcript, had 846 code. Nothing came wednesday or thursday and i was freaking out. Finally on friday morning i wake up and boom, there it was. Just give it another day or two, im pretty sure you're fine.
Ok you're giving me hope! Really hoping it shows up tomorrow š

Not sure if this will make you feel any better, but I have Chime and my status changed to pending right before my deposit hit last year. My refund was around 9k and it posted about 36 hours after the pending status appeared. Just be patient!

Double-check your bank account info on your return. My friend had this happen and it turned out she had one digit wrong in her account number. Her refund got sent back to the IRS and she had to request a paper check which took 6 more weeks. Hopefully that's not your situation but worth checking!
