Have you called the IRS directly about this? They can tell you exactly what will happen with your refund. Ask specifically about the remaining balance and whether the 846 amount will be adjusted. Request they check if the state payment has been fully applied to your account.

On April 12th last year, I had an identical situation with almost the same amounts. My transcript showed code 846 for the full refund amount ($3,200), but when the deposit date of April 19th arrived, they had reduced it by my remaining balance ($750). The IRS systems don't always talk to each other in real-time, so what you're seeing on your transcript today might not reflect what will actually happen when they process the final payment.

Here's how to check your actual status: Step 1: Go to IRS.gov and access your tax transcript Step 2: Look for the account transcript for 2023 Step 3: Check for transaction codes like 570 (refund hold) or 971 (notice issued) Step 4: Look for code 846 which means refund issued If you see code 570 without 846, your refund is on hold. If you see 971, expect a letter. If you see 846, it shows the direct deposit date.

Has anyone from the 2/15 group received a 60-day review letter? I just got one yesterday and I'm freaking out because I need this money. The letter doesn't even explain what they're reviewing!

Have you tried calling the IRS directly? Of course you have, and we all know how that goes... endless wait times and disconnections, right? I was in the same boat last month and finally used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to get through to an actual human at the IRS. They confirmed my refund was actually sent to the wrong account (transposed digits) and helped me start the trace process immediately. Would have taken me weeks to figure that out on my own. Worth every penny to not waste hours on hold.

I believe it might be worth checking if you're affected by the PATH Act, which can delay refunds that include certain credits. Also, if this is your first time filing in the US, sometimes there are additional verification steps that can cause delays, especially for international bank accounts. You might want to check if your bank has any policies regarding international tax refunds or government deposits... some banks have special procedures for handling these types of transactions for new residents.

Be careful with how you proceed! I filed February 15th last year, transcript didn't update for 8 weeks, and when I finally got through to someone, they told me my return had been flagged for identity verification but they never sent the letter! I had to complete the ID verify process which took another 3 weeks, and then wait another 9 weeks for processing. By the time I got my refund it was JULY! I'm concerned about your situation because the timeline is similar to mine. Have you moved recently or had any life changes that might trigger extra verification?

Filed February 12. Transcript updated March 19. Refund deposited March 24. No explanation for delay. No special codes. Just slow processing. Don't panic yet. System is backed up. Keep checking once a week. Calling doesn't help unless you're past 45 days. They'll just tell you to wait.

OMG I HATED EzTax with a passion!!! 😡 Their interface is so clunky and outdated! I switched to TaxSlayer this year and it was like night and day difference. EzTax couldn't properly import my Uber tax summary and I had to manually enter EVERYTHING. Plus they charged me an extra $39.99 for the "gig worker package" that basically just added a few extra forms that should have been included. I was literally yelling at my computer trying to find where to enter certain expenses. Never again!

I think I might be the only one who had an okay experience with EzTax? It's not amazing or anything, but it got the job done for my DoorDash income. The interface is a bit... old-fashioned, but I managed to figure it out. Just make sure to double-check all your entries because it doesn't have the best error checking. I'm so relieved I'm not the only one trying to figure out the best way to file gig work taxes.
