Anyone in Florida with Chime get their tax refund yet? DDD 4/15 but nothing showing up
I'm gettin anxious here. IRS website says my refund was supposed to hit my Chime account today (April 15). It's already 5:43pm and still nothing showing in my account! Anyone else in Florida with Chime experiencing delays? This is my first time using Chime for my tax refund and I'm starting to wonder if that was a mistake. My WMR tool says sent but my account says nothing.

I'm in Florida too with Chime. My DDD was 4/12 and I got it around 10:30am on 4/12. Sometimes banks can take until midnight to process the deposit. Give it until tomorrow morning before panicking. The IRS deposit system can be finicky. If it doesn't show by tomorrow afternoon, I'd call Chime and ask if they see any pending deposits to your account.

Thanks for the reassurance. Tomorrow at noon I'll call if I don't see anything. I'm just nervous cuz I really need that money for rent next month.

I hate to tell you this but sometimes Chime can hold the money for a day or so especially if its ur first time. I had the same problem last year 😫

No prob! And yeah @profile 3 is right - first time deposits sometimes get extra scrutiny from online banks. Just how they operate.

I was in the exact same situation last week! Instead of checking WMR a thousand times I finally used this tool called taxr.ai that gave me a complete breakdown of my transcript and explained exactly why my refund was delayed (had nothing to do with Chime). It gave me peace of mind seeing the actual IRS codes explained in plain English instead of trying to decipher them myself. I've been recommending it to everyone dealing with refund anxiety https://taxr.ai

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

It basically takes all the confusing IRS codes and dates on your transcript and translates them into actual English. It showed me that my refund was actually being processed normally despite the WMR tool showing nothing. Saved me hours of stress and googling random tax codes.

WOW I just tried it and this is actually incredible! It showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when I should expect it. Can't believe I spent weeks trying to figure this out on my own. Everyone needs to know about this!

It's literally just reading your transcript and explaining it. No different than if you called the IRS and asked them to explain every code, except you don't have to wait on hold for 3 hours. Saved my sanity during tax season.

After waiting on hold with the IRS for FOUR HOURS last week about my missing refund, I found this app called Claimyr that got me connected to a live IRS agent in like 20 minutes (claimyr.com). The agent was able to release my refund right away - there was some stupid flag on my account. Talking to the agent directly was the only way I got it resolved and now my money is in my account. Honestly best money I've spent all year considering how much stress it saved me.

Yeah it worked surprisingly well. Basically they navigate the IRS phone system for you and call you back when they have an agent on the line. I was skeptical too but I was desperate after weeks of trying to reach someone.

Sure there are others but this one actually worked for me 🤷♀️ Better than burning another day on hold. The agent I talked to fixed my issue in like 5 minutes once I finally got through.

Chime is notorious for this. They advertise "get your refund up to 5 days early" but in reality they can sometimes be slower than traditional banks. I've been using them for 3 years and it's hit or miss. Last year my refund came a day late, but the year before it was right on time. The WMR tool isn't always accurate - check your transcript on the IRS site if you can access it.

I'm in Georgia not Florida but I have Chime too and my DDD was 4/10 and I still haven't got it yet. Called Chime and they said they don't see anything pending. Called IRS and they said it was sent. Now I'm stuck in limbo with no one taking responsibility. This is why I hate tax season 😡

Yeah finally got it yesterday! Had to call IRS 3 times but eventually they admitted there was an error on their end and resent it. Keep calling! Don't give up!

The best advice I can give you after going through this EXACT situation last year is to check if your bank account details on your tax return are 100% correct. I had one digit wrong in my account number and it caused a 3-week delay while IRS tried to deposit, failed, then mailed me a check instead. Log into your IRS account and verify everything right now.

Just checked and my account info is definitely correct. Triple verified it when I filed. That's why I'm so confused about the delay.

Not in Florida but I use Chime in Texas. In my experience they usually deposit around 3-5pm Central time on the DDD. If your DDD is today, I wouldn't worry yet. Give it until tomorrow morning before freaking out. If you don't see it by noon tomorrow, then start making calls.

I've had my DDD come anywhere from 2 days early to 3 days late with Chime. Their "up to 5 days early" is really just marketing BS. One thing to check - did you file jointly with a spouse? Sometimes that can cause delays if one of you has any kind of offset (child support, student loans, etc).

Nope, filed single. No dependents, no offsets that I know of. Super straightforward return which is why this is driving me crazy.

Hmm that is weird then. Might be worth checking your transcript on the IRS site to see if there's any hold codes or if the DDD is actually different than what WMR shows. I've seen those tools show different info before.

Did u check ur transcript??? WMR is trash and inaccurate half the time. Your transcript will show the actual codes and real DDD. I had a similar issue and my transcript showed a hold code that WMR didn't mention at all. Yah feel me?

No I haven't checked my transcript yet cuz I can't get past the ID verification on the IRS site 😩 Been trying for days. Maybe I should just call them directly.

Bruh the ID verification is the WORST. Took me like 6 tries. Make sure ur using EXACTLY the address on ur last tax return, even if u moved. And the phone number thing is case sensitive for some reason???

The IRS "Where's My Refund" tool is the biggest joke. It's been showing "approved" for me for 3 weeks now. I finally broke down and used taxr.ai to actually read my transcript and it turns out they had sent a letter requesting verification 2 weeks ago that I never received! Would have been waiting forever if I hadn't checked. Highly recommend checking your transcript somehow - either through the IRS website or using taxr if you can't access it directly.

With Chime for 4 yearz now. They deposit as soon as IRS releases the $$. If IRS says its sent but not in ur account yet, it might be hung up in ACH processing. Give it 24 hrs before panickin. If still nuthin by tomorro afternoon, CALL THE IRS not Chime. Chime cant do anything until they actually receive the $$$.
