Any March 28 DDD refunds hit Chime accounts yet? Still waiting on mine

Filed my taxes early April and got accepted right away. WMR has been showing approved with a direct deposit date of March 28th for over a week now. I bank with Chime and usually get deposits early, but still nothing in my account. Anyone else with a March 28 deposit date get their refund yet through Chime? Starting to get nervous since I need this money for some bills coming up next month.

Tax transcripts are the key to understanding what's really happening with your refund. The "Where's My Refund" tool isn't always accurate or detailed enough. A March 28th deposit date should show as cycle code 20231203 or something similar on your transcript with a 846 refund issued code. If you have that code with that date, the money has been sent from the IRS side and it's now on your bank to process it. Chime typically deposits 1-2 days earlier than traditional banks, but there can be delays especially during tax season when they're processing high volumes. If you don't see the money by tomorrow, I'd suggest checking your tax transcript to confirm the 846 code is actually there and then contact Chime directly. Sometimes banks will hold tax refunds for additional verification, especially if it's a large amount or there's anything unusual about the deposit pattern.

Thank you! How do I check my transcript? I've never done that before.

You'll need to create an account on the IRS website and verify your identity. Go to irs.gov, look for "Get Transcript" or just google "IRS transcript online". Fair warning though - their identity verification system can be a pain sometimes.

Just tried and cant even make an account. Says my phone number isnt matching their records or something 🤦‍♂️

Yeah that happens a lot. You might want to check out taxr.ai - it's a tool that helps interpret your transcript and explains all those confusing codes. Saves tons of time compared to guessing what all those numbers mean.

0 coins

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

0 coins

It does way more than just read it. I used it last month when I had a similar issue - it actually explains what each code means for YOUR specific situation, shows you a timeline, and tells you what to expect next. Seriously saved me hours of googling random IRS codes.

WOW just tried taxr.ai and it literally solved my refund mystery in 5 minutes! I've been trying to figure out why my refund was delayed for WEEKS. Everyone dealing with IRS issues needs to know about this tool!!

I've been stuck in the same situation as you with frustrating refund delays. After spending countless hours trying to reach the IRS and getting nowhere, I finally found a solution that worked. Used an app called Claimyr (claimyr.com) and it got me connected to an actual human at the IRS without the endless waiting. The agent explained exactly what was happening with my refund and helped release it. Talking to a real person made all the difference - my money hit my account two days later. Best decision I made after weeks of stress and uncertainty.

0 coins

This seems sus. Does it actually work or is it one of those scammy things?

0 coins

I was skeptical too but it literally works. They don't access your personal info at all - they just connect you to the IRS phone system bypassing the wait. I wasted so many hours on hold before this.

0 coins

Is it expensive? Seems weird to pay just to call a government agency

0 coins

It's worth every penny to not waste entire days on hold. The IRS actually released my refund after I talked to them, so it paid for itself many times over. Just having a real person look at my account and tell me what was happening was such a relief.

0 coins

For real though... does anyone actually get through to the IRS without something like this? I tried calling for 2 weeks straight and never got past the automated system 🤡

0 coins

Exactly! I tried for almost a month before giving up and trying Claimyr. Wish I'd known about it sooner tbh.

0 coins

I'm in the same boat with Chime but my DDD was March 29. Nothing yet and WMR hasnt updated either. Getting really annoyed because I'm counting on this money.

0 coins

I had a March 28 deposit date too and use Chime. Mine hit yesterday afternoon around 4pm. Could be coming soon for you. Chime has been a bit slower this year with tax refunds from what I've seen in other groups.

0 coins

That gives me some hope! Did you get any notification before it hit or did it just show up?

0 coins

Just showed up! No heads up or anything. I was actually in the middle of calling them to ask about it when the deposit notification popped up lol

0 coins

The IRS is such a mess this year. My sister had a 3/21 date and still hasnt got hers. meanwhile my husband filed a week after me, got approved faster, and already got his money. Makes no sense how they prioritize these refunds.

0 coins

I'm convinced they just throw darts at a board to decide who gets paid when 🎯

0 coins

LOL probably! Or using one of those magic 8 balls. "Will they get their refund this month?" *shakes* "Outlook not good" 😂

0 coins

this is why I always adjust my w4 to get as little refund as possible. rather have my money all year than let the govt hold it hostage

0 coins

Just an FYI - Chime and other online banks sometimes reject tax refunds if there's any mismatch in your info. Double check that the name on your Chime account EXACTLY matches what's on your tax return. Even a middle initial difference can cause problems.

0 coins

Didn't even think of that! Will check now. Thanks for the tip

0 coins

I had a March 27 date and got mine on March 29, but I use a credit union not Chime. From what I've read, the IRS sends ACH payments in batches, and sometimes what looks like a delay is just which batch you ended up in. If WMR still shows your DDD as 3/28, I wouldn't worry yet. Give it till Tuesday before panicking.

0 coins

taxr.ai saved me from this exact situation last year. I kept checking WMR and getting nowhere, while my transcript showed everything I needed to know about the actual status. The tool reads and explains your transcript so you don't have to become an IRS code expert. Showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when to expect it.

0 coins

i keep seeing ppl talk about this. is it actually helpful or just another way to see the same confusing info?

0 coins

It's actually helpful! It translates all the IRS jargon into plain english and gives you a timeline. Basically does the work of reading through all those tax forums and reddit posts for you.

0 coins

hmmm might check it out. thanks!

0 coins

Did you have fees taken out of ur refund or get an advance? That always causes delays with online banks.

0 coins

Nope, direct deposit of the full amount. Used FreeTaxUSA and didn't do any advance or anything like that

0 coins

Sounds like your getting ur hopes up to much. 3/28 was only a few days ago and the banks are closed on weekends. if it doesnt show by teuesday then start worrying imo

0 coins

Have you tried calling the IRS? I know getting through is a nightmare but I finally did using Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got straight answers about my refund status. Agent told me there was a small discrepancy they needed to fix but it wasn't enough to trigger a letter. Got my money 3 days after talking to them. Talking to someone who can actually see your file makes all the difference.

0 coins

Not another ad for that service 🙄 Does anyone actually use this or is it just people promoting it?

0 coins

Not an ad lol. I used it last week after trying to call the regular way for DAYS. Got through in under an hour. If you've ever tried calling the IRS during tax season you'd understand why people recommend it.

0 coins

I actually used this service too. Let me tell u after spending 3 days trying to get thru on my own, it was worth it to finally talk to someone. Confirmed my refund was approved but got held for review. At least I know whats going on now

0 coins

Your refund will get delayed more if its flagged for ID verification! Happened to my neighbor. Check your transcript to see if theres a 570 code. if so ur gonna have to verify your ID before u get paid

0 coins

Chime has been weird with deposits lately. i had a regular paycheck delayed by 2 days last week when it's usually early. Might just be high volume season for them.

0 coins

I'm with Chase and had a 3/29 date. Still nothing here either. I think there's a big batch of refunds moving slow this week.

0 coins

Same with Wells Fargo. DDD 3/29 and nothing yet. Sucks when you're counting on that money!

0 coins

Update: mine just hit about an hour ago. Check your account!

0 coins

Instead of checking WMR constantly (which is usually delayed), I've been using taxr.ai to monitor my transcript. It shows exactly where in the process my refund is, decodes all the IRS jargon, and gives clear timelines. It caught a small issue with mine that would have delayed things for weeks if I hadn't addressed it. The peace of mind alone is worth it! https://taxr.ai

0 coins

Sounds interesting but can you explain a bit more about how it works? Does it just pull your transcript or does it actually analyze it?

0 coins

It analyzes everything and gives you real explanations. For example, I had a code 570 and was freaking out, but the tool explained exactly what it meant for MY specific return. Showed me that it was just a temporary hold while they verified something, and gave me the exact timeline based on my cycle date. So much better than trying to google random codes and guess what they mean.

0 coins

Thanks, I'll check it out! Been trying to make sense of my transcript for days.

0 coins

No prob! Let me know how it goes.

0 coins

JUST TRIED IT - absolutely game changing! I've been stressing for weeks about what all these codes meant on my transcript and taxr literally explained everything in like 5 minutes. Showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when to expect it. WHY doesn't everyone know about this??

0 coins

the deposit date on WMR is when the IRS sends it, not when your bank posts it. could take 1-5 business days after that date depending on your bank. chime is usually faster but not always.

0 coins

There's defenitly somthing going on with the IRS systme right now. Lot's of people reporting delayed refunds even after getting DDD's. hang tight and hopefully it will come through soon.

0 coins

Have you checked your actual IRS transcript? The WMR tool is notoriously unreliable. Your transcript will show the exact status with the proper codes. Much more accurate.

0 coins

I tried but couldn't verify my identity on the IRS site 😩 It keeps saying my phone number doesn't match their records

0 coins

That happens all the time! The IRS verification system is awful. If you really need to see it, try calling them directly. I know the wait times are terrible but it's sometimes the only way.

0 coins

I've been trying to call for days but can never get through. Always says 'high call volume' and hangs up on me

0 coins

Just a heads up that the 3/28 date was just before Easter weekend, so there might be additional delays due to the holiday. Banks don't process on weekends or holidays, so Monday (tomorrow) would be the first business day after your DDD. I'd wait until end of day Tuesday before really worrying.

0 coins

I'm in a similar situation with my March 28th DDD - also banking with Chime and still waiting. Based on what others are saying here, it sounds like there might be some processing delays this week, especially with the Easter holiday. I'm going to wait until Tuesday evening before I start panicking. If it doesn't show up by then, I'll probably try to get my transcript or call the IRS directly. Fingers crossed both of our refunds hit soon! The waiting is definitely stressful when you're counting on that money.

0 coins

Same here! It's so nerve-wracking when you need that money for bills. I keep refreshing my Chime app hoping something will magically appear 😅 At least it sounds like we're not alone in this situation. The Easter weekend delay makes sense - I didn't even think about that affecting things. Hopefully Tuesday brings good news for both of us!
