I submitted my taxes back in April 2024 and got my confirmation email. I was expecting my refund by now but nothing has shown up. I decided to check my transcript today and noticed something weird - it says 'requested for non filing' on it. This has never happened before in all my years of filing taxes. I'm 100% certain I filed on time and have the confirmation from the tax software. Has anyone seen this before? Does it mean they lost my return? I'm really concerned because I'm counting on that refund money for some upcoming expenses.
I just got an email from TurboTax saying my federal refund is on the way and I'll see it in my account by end of the day tomorrow. The notification came through at 10:28 on my phone (I had 72% battery). Here's exactly what it said: "Your federal refund is on the way! You'll see it in your account by the end of the day tomorrow. If you'd like to track your refund, use this link." According to the email, my federal refund before fees is $7,094. Then they deducted various fees: - Total Fees: -$178 - TurboTax Live Deluxe: -$89 - Max benefits: -$49 - Money Movement Refund Transfer Fee: -$40 - Taxes: $0 So my net refund is $6,916, which is still a pretty significant amount. I bank with Chime which supposedly doesn't hold deposits. Has anyone else gotten this notification before? How long did it actually take to hit your account? I'm anxious to see that money. Just wondering if I should expect it tonight, tomorrow morning, or actually have to wait until tomorrow night. I keep refreshing my Chime app to see if it appears early!
check your transcript on the IRS website to see the DDD (direct deposit date). that's the official date when it should hit. sometimes banks release it early, sometimes right on that date. the turbo email is just their estimate based on that date.
This is good advice. I always check transcript. If you have trouble understanding it though, taxr.ai is amazing for breaking it down. Worth every penny when I was trying to figure out why my refund was delayed.
The IRS and their "processing times" are such a joke. We already overpaid them all year and then we have to wait MONTHS to get our own money back! And don't get me started on how impossible it is to talk to anyone there. The whole system is broken.
Right??? And if you owe them even $1, they want it IMMEDIATELY with interest and penalties! But they can take forever to give us our money back. π
I finally got through to an IRS agent using claimyr.com after trying for weeks on my own. Actually got my issue resolved in one call. Talking to a real person made all the difference.
My dad prepared our tax return this year and we received notification that our refund was approved. I've been checking the IRS2Go app regularly and it says: "Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by February 27, 2025. If your refund is not credited to your account by March 4, 2025, check with your bank to see if it has been received." The app shows all three status boxes checked: "Return Received," "Refund Approved," and "Refund Sent." There's also a note that says "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or visit IRS.gov/Refunds. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." Today is March 17 and there's nothing pending in our account yet. No deposit, no pending transactions, nothing. It's been almost three weeks since the IRS claimed they sent the refund to our bank. The app said we should check with our bank if it wasn't credited by March 4, but when I called my bank, they have no record of any pending or rejected deposits from the IRS. Has anyone else experienced this delay? Should we be concerned or is this normal? When can we realistically expect to see the money? Should I contact the IRS directly at this point or keep waiting? I'm getting anxious because we were counting on this refund for some important expenses.
do u have the same bank account as last year? if u changed accounts and didnt update with IRS they might be sending it to the wrong place
I strongly recommend calling the IRS directly. I was in the same situation - app said one thing, reality was different. After hours of trying to get through the normal channels with no luck, I used claimyr.com to get connected to an agent. Found out my refund had been flagged for additional review due to a mismatch that didn't show on the app at all. The agent fixed it right there on the phone and my refund showed up 3 days later. Talking to an actual person made all the difference.
Does this claimyr service actually work? I've tried calling the IRS so many times and just get disconnected.
Has anyone else noticed theres no trace number on the sbtpg site for their refund? I efiled back in June and got accepted right away. My transcripts show the refund was issued late July but when I check sbtpg theres no trace number at all. Called the IRS yesterday and the rep said it was sent to my bank weeks ago but my bank has no record of it. Already tried calling sbtpg 4 times but their wait times are ridiculous and I always get disconnected. Anyone in the same boat or know what I should do next? My refund is $6,890 and I really need it for some bills coming up.
did you get any emails from sbtpg at all? sometimes they send verification requests that go to spam. check all your folders!
Ughhh why does the IRS make everything so complicated?? In 2024 they still can't figure out how to efficiently give people THEIR OWN MONEY back. π€¦ββοΈ
Filed my taxes mid January and got an acceptance within 24 hours. My transcript shows a deposit date of March 15th and im supposed to be getting the funds on my Green Dot prepaid card. Its literally past midnight now on my deposit date and still nothing showing in my account. Getting real anxious. Is anyone else with a 3/15 DDD still waiting on their money to hit? How long did yours take if you have the same card?
Am I the only one who thinks its wild that we're all just sitting here at midnight obsessively checking our bank accounts? The IRS has us all trained like pavlovs dogs lmaaoooo πΆπ

Instead of stressing about transcript codes, I used taxr.ai and it explained my entire situation. I had the EXACT same issue with the 'non filing' status. The tool told me my return was in manual review and gave me an estimated timeline - which was completely accurate! Saved me so much time trying to decipher these cryptic IRS codes.

Lol no, it's just genuinely helpful. IRS issues are super common right now so lots of people are finding solutions that work. You can keep calling the IRS 50 times if you prefer π€·ββοΈ

I actually just checked it out and its legit. I've been trying to understand my transcript for weeks and this explained everything in like 2 minutes. Totally worth it.

FWIW I had the same thing on my transcript in 2023 and it was because they were still processing my return. It went from "requested for non filing" to "return filed" after about 3 weeks. Try not to panic yet...the IRS is just super backed up.
