Anyone with Chase Bank who filed through Jackson Hewitt - any updates on refund status?
Filed my taxes through Jackson Hewitt back in May and chose direct deposit to my Chase account. Been waiting for about 2 months now with no updates. Checked my transcript yesterday and it just says "return received" but nothing about processing or a deposit date. Called the IRS automated system and it says my return is still being processed. Has anyone else who filed with Jackson Hewitt and has Chase seen any movement? Just wondering if this is normal or if I should be concerned at this point.

Tax refund just direct deposited - 3/15 DDD - No advance fees deducted
Just checked my bank account and my tax refund hit literally 5 minutes ago! My direct deposit date was 3/15 so right on time. I was worried because I had chosen to have my tax prep fees taken from my refund but it looks like they didn't take anything out - I got the full amount! Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned or just take the win?

Pro tip: if you don't want to pay those advance fees next year, just pay for the tax prep upfront instead of taking it from your refund. The "convenience" of having it taken from your refund usually comes with an extra fee of $30-40 on top of the regular prep cost.
This! I learned this the hard way. Paid $39.95 extra just to have the fee taken from my refund. Never again!
Thanks for the tip. I didn't realize they charged extra for that option. Will definitely pay upfront next year.
Anyone else notice refunds coming faster this year? I filed 3/1 and got mine on 3/12. Last year it took over a month!
Complete opposite for me. Filed 2/15 and still nothing. Last year I had my refund in 9 days.
I think it depends on what credits you claim and if your return has any "review flags" that slow it down. Simple returns without EIC, CTC etc seem to process faster.
Anyone received their DDD 3/19 refund yet?
I got my direct deposit date for March 19 and I'm wondering if anyone who had the same date already received their refund? I know it's still a few days away but I've seen people get theirs early before. I've been checking my bank account like a crazy person. Filed through TurboTax on February 12, got accepted same day, and WMR updated with the 3/19 date last weekend. Getting kinda anxious about it since I really need this money for some bills coming up.

To answer your original question - yes, got my 3/19 DDD today with Chime. They always deposit as soon as they get the money, usually 2 days early. One of the main reasons I switched to them from traditional banks that hold your money.
I'm having serious anxiety about my refund too. I keep checking my bank account every hour like a psycho. The IRS really has us all traumatized 💀
Right? I've literally been checking my account multiple times a day. My partner thinks I'm being ridiculous but we need this money!
I'm right there with you! I have my banking app notifications turned on and my phone volume maxed out so I don't miss it 😩
Filed March 10th but IRS transcript shows 'No Return Filed' - when should I expect processing?
I submitted my federal tax return on March 10th. It's now almost May and I checked my transcript online and it's saying "No Return Filed". My return was accepted right after I e-filed through TurboTax and I got the confirmation email. Is this normal? How long does it usually take for the IRS to process returns this year? Anyone know when I should expect to see movement on my transcript or get my refund? I was really counting on that money coming in by now.

Do you have access to your Account Transcript or just your Return Transcript? The Account Transcript will show if they've received your return even when the Return Transcript says "no return filed".
I can access the account transcript too. It shows my old info from last year but nothing for 2023 tax year.
Dealing with the IRS seriously makes me want to pull my hair out. I spent so much time trying to decipher my transcript and figure out why it said no return filed when I definitely submitted months ago. I finally broke down and used this thing called taxr.ai and it was a game changer - explained everything in plain english and gave me a timeline. Beats staring at transcript codes trying to play detective lol
Anyone know when the next IRS transcript update happens this week?
I filed my taxes in mid-March and the WMR tool still shows "processing". I checked my transcript last Friday and there was literally no change from the week before. I'm expecting around $3,700 this year and really need it for some car repairs. My friend who filed in early April already got her refund which is super frustrating. Does anyone know when the IRS updates transcripts this week? Is it every night or just certain days? I've heard some people mention Wednesdays and Fridays but idk if that's accurate. I'm so tired of checking every day and seeing nothing change.

I know waiting sucks but from all the tax forums I follow, March filers are just now starting to see movement. The IRS is still catching up from all the returns they got in January/February (which were delayed because of the PATH act). Hang tight - as long as there are no errors on your return, you should see movement in the next 2 weeks.
Thanks for the encouragement. Just frustrating to see April filers getting theirs already while I'm still waiting from March.

pro-tip: NEVER use a tax prep company's bank product to get your refund faster. always direct deposit straight from irs to ur bank. jackson hewitt/hr block/turbotax all add days to the process when they act as middlemen for refunds. plus they take fees out. the PATH act delays are bad enough without adding more delays.

AuthorI didn't use their bank product, just had them file for me and put my Chase account for direct deposit. But good advice for next year!

oh ok thats good! still, next year consider using freefile on irs.gov - its literally the same software JH uses but without paying them hundreds of dollars.

I was in your exact situation last month. Try checking your tax transcript rather than the WMR tool. I found a tool called taxr.ai that explained my transcript codes for me and told me exactly why my refund was delayed and when to expect it. Turns out there was a simple review happening but no issues. Got my deposit about 15 days after I checked. They don't always send notices for routine reviews which is why you haven't heard anything.
