If it makes you feel any better, I'm in the exact same situation but with Current Bank instead of Varo. 3/19 DDD, still nothing as of this morning (3/20). Called Current and they said they haven't even received it from the IRS yet. So frustrating!
Has anyone else noticed that the deposit times have been getting worse every year? I used to get my refund within a week of filing back in like 2015. Now it takes 6+ weeks even when there are no issues. The whole system needs an overhaul.
IRS is understaffed and using computers from the stone age. They're literally still running some systems on code from the 1960s. No wonder everything is so slow.
yup i remember getting my refund in like 8 days back in 2016. now im lucky if i see it within a month π
Anybody else notice that the WHERE'S MY REFUND tool is absolute garbage? It's still showing "processing" for me even though the money hit my account this morning. π€¦ββοΈ
It's the worst! Last year mine never updated at all. Just went from "Return Received" straight to the money being in my account. Never hit the approved or sent stages.
WMR is a joke. I check my transcript instead - at least it shows actual codes and dates.
I'm so confused about my transcript. It shows code 150 with a date of 3/25, then code 806, then code 570 dated 3/25, then code 971 dated 4/1. No 846 code yet. Anyone know what this means or when I might actually see my money?
Thanks! This is so helpful. The waiting is killing me but at least now I have some idea what's happening.
I had these exact codes and was going crazy trying to decode them. Used taxr.ai and it instantly told me they were adjusting my return due to a math error, predicted when it would be fixed, and was spot on about my refund date. Best decision I made this tax season.
My buddy just went thru this exact headache. H&R Block claimed they didnt receive anything, IRS said they sent it. turns out H&R rejected the deposit because the name on the tax return had his middle initial but the card was registered without it. Check for ANY discrepancies between your tax return and card registration.
The whole system is designed to be confusing on purpose i swear π€ Ive been dealing with this for 3 years in a row. One thing that helped me recently was using taxr.ai to actually understand my transcript - it explained all the codes and told me exactly what was happening with my refund. Saved me hours of googling random IRS codes.
It basically takes all the tax jargon and explains it in normal human language. You upload your transcript and it tells you exactly whats going on, if theres any issues, and when youll actually get your money. It spotted a problem with mine that I never would have caught myself!
I was stuck in the same exact situation with my state refund last tax season. After trying everything imaginable, I discovered taxr.ai and it completely changed the game. I uploaded my state return and within minutes it explained exactly why my refund was delayed - I had incorrectly reported a credit that triggered additional review. Once I understood the real issue, I was able to fix it and my refund was processed within days. Seriously, check out https://taxr.ai - it's like having a tax pro decode everything for you.
Can this handle complicated tax situations? I have multiple state returns and self-employment income.
Absolutely! It's actually designed for more complex situations. It can analyze multiple returns, notices, and documents together to give you the full picture. I've recommended it to several self-employed friends who were all impressed.
Nobody seems to be mentioning this, but have you checked if your state has a local office you can visit in person? I had a similar issue and was getting nowhere by phone, so I just showed up at my state's regional tax office. Had to wait about an hour, but finally talked to someone who resolved my issue on the spot. Sometimes face-to-face is the only way to get results in this broken system.
That's a good idea - I checked and there is a regional office about 45 minutes from me. Might be worth the drive at this point.

Anyone else think its INSANE that in 2025 the IRS still cant process a simple tax return efficiently?? Our tax dollars fund this broken system. The irony is PAINFUL π€

β’they're still using computers from the 1970s for some of their systems. I'm not even joking.

β’meanwhile they expect us to have perfect documentation and if we make one tiny error they pounce on us with penalties. The double standard is ridonkulous.

OP, go to taxr.ai - literally saved me from the exact same situation last month. It explained my transcript, showed me what was happening with my refund, and even predicted the correct deposit date. Way better than guessing or stressing about it.
