Anyone Accepted on March 19th or 20th Get a DDD Date or Transcript Update Yet?

I was accepted on March 19th at 2:17pm EST and just got my transcript update yesterday (April 9th). My cycle code is 20241405 with a DDD of April 17th. For reference, I filed with H&R Block, claimed standard deduction only, and had W-2 income with minimal interest income. My WMR updated this morning to show the approval bar, but transcript updated first as it typically does.

Are you checking your transcript online or calling? If online, here's what you should do: 1. Access the IRS website and log in to your account 2. Navigate to "Get Transcript Online" 3. Select "2023" as the tax year 4. Choose "Account Transcript" 5. Look for Transaction Codes 150, 570, 571, and 846 The 846 code will show your refund date. If you see a 570 (hold) but no 571 (release) yet, that's why there's no DDD.

I'm in the same boat - accepted March 20th and nothing yet. I'm skeptical of all the "just wait" advice. After three attempts to reach the IRS and waiting on hold for over 2 hours, I finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get through to an agent. The agent confirmed my return was still in processing with no issues flagged, just normal delays due to high volume. At least I have peace of mind now rather than wondering if something was wrong. Worth the service fee to not waste an entire day on hold.

The mid-March filers seem to be experiencing longer waits compared to February filers this year. Last year my March 18th acceptance took 16 days for DDD, but this year people are reporting 21-25 days. There's definitely a processing backlog right now. The good news is that unlike the 2021 tax season when some people waited months, the current delays are still within reasonable timeframes. I've been tracking the r/IRS megathread and most March 15-21 filers are just now getting updates this week.

Anyone else with March 19th acceptance see TC 570/971 combo on their transcript? Got those codes last Fri but no update since. Getting kinda worried since I need this $ for next month's rent...

Based on current processing trends for March filers, here's what you should expect: • Acceptance March 19-20 → Transcript update typically April 8-12 • WMR updates usually 1-2 days after transcript • Direct deposit generally 5-7 days after transcript shows code 846 • Current average processing time: 22-24 days (slightly longer than February) • Returns with credits taking approximately 3-5 days longer The IRS is currently processing about 96% of returns within their 21-day guideline, but that remaining 4% includes many mid-March filers.

Just to clarify some confusion in this thread: the March 19-20 acceptance batch appears to be updating in the system now. I work with tax data and can tell you that exactly 78.3% of our clients with those acceptance dates received transcript updates between April 8-10. The remaining 21.7% will likely update by April 12 based on current patterns. This is precisely 3 days slower than the same period last year.
