Jackson Hewitt Serve Card Users - Any 2023 Refund Deposits Yet?

IRS Confirms EITC/ACTC Refunds Expected by March 3rd - WMR Updates Begin February 22nd for Early Filers

Just saw the IRS update about EITC and ACTC refunds. The IRS website specifically states: "If you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), you can expect to get your refund by March 3 if: - You file your return online - You choose to get your refund by direct deposit - We found no issues with your return" However, the IRS also mentions that "some taxpayers may see their refunds a few days earlier." I've been checking Where's My Refund (WMR) every day, but according to the IRS site, "Where's My Refund should show an updated status by February 22 for most early EITC/ACTC filers." One thing to keep in mind though - the IRS clearly points out that "your financial institution may need time to accept your direct deposit or issue a debit card. Many institutions don't process payments on weekends or holidays. So, if you file early, be aware of federal and local holidays that may affect how soon you get your refund." Plus, there's an important legal restriction they mention: "By law, we can't issue EITC or ACTC refunds before mid-February. This includes your entire refund, not just the part that's related to the credit you claimed." Anyone else planning around this March 3rd date? Getting tired of checking WMR everyday, especially knowing they won't even update most statuses until February 22nd. I'm just trying to be patient but it's hard when you're counting on that money!

Need to amend return? Declared 1099 income as cash but just got the actual 1099 form

I already submitted my 2023 tax return and included all my income, but I just got a 1099 in the mail for some side work I did. I had included this money on my return as cash income but didnt have the actual 1099 info when I filed. Do I need to go through the whole amendment process or am I good since I already declared the income?

Pattern from 2019/2020 transcripts showing exact DDD dates - proof included

I've been tracking my transcripts across multiple years and noticed something interesting. Looking at my 2019 return (processed in 2020), I received a deposit date of 2/26 with transcript update on 2/17. The dates are lining up exactly the same this year. Anyone else notice patterns in their transcript dates across different years?
