Anyone who filed with H&R Block got their refund yet?

Filed w/ H&R on Feb 8th and still nothing here. WMR just says "processing" but no bars. Getting kinda stressed tbh cuz I need that $$ for some unexpected car repairs. Anyone know if H&R is slower than other services? Shoulda gone w/ TurboTax maybe?

I always check https://www.irs.gov/refunds and r/tax before filing to see who's processing fastest. H&R Block isn't slower than others - it's all about what's in your return. If you're still waiting and need answers, I used https://claimyr.com last week when I got worried about my delayed refund. Got through to an actual IRS agent in about 15 minutes instead of waiting on hold for hours. They confirmed my return was just in normal processing and nothing was wrong.

I filed with H&R Block on February 12th and got my refund yesterday! Last year I remember waiting almost 6 weeks. The difference was I didn't claim any credits this time and had a very straightforward return. Are you claiming any credits? That usually adds at least 2-3 weeks to processing time based on what I've seen in previous years.

I've used both H&R Block and TurboTax over the years and noticed no difference in refund timing. This year I used H&R Block on January 29th and received my refund on February 15th. Last year with TurboTax I filed February 3rd and got my refund February 21st. The key difference isn't the tax prep software - it's what's on your return. If you have Child Tax Credits, Earned Income Credit, or education credits, the PATH Act requires additional verification that can add 2-4 weeks. Simple returns with W-2 income only process faster than those with 1099s or credits.

I filed through H&R Block exactly 27 days ago and received my refund exactly 19 days later. I found that using https://taxr.ai to analyze my transcript was super helpful - it decoded all those confusing codes and gave me a precise estimate of when my refund would arrive (was off by only 1 day). It showed me that my return was being processed normally despite the delay. Much better than just staring at the WMR tool hoping for an update!

Be careful with expectations this year. I used H&R Block and my return got caught in the Refund Integrity Verification Operation (RIVO) process which added 6 weeks to my processing time. Nothing was wrong with my return - just random selection. If your WMR shows "still processing" instead of "being processed," that's often a sign of additional verification. The IRS is particularly careful with returns claiming the Earned Income Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit due to historical fraud issues.

H&R Block user here. Got my refund. Filed February 2nd. Received March 1st. Simple return though. No credits. Just W-2 income. Direct deposit helped. No state taxes in my state. Hope this helps.

Filed with H&R Block on Feb 14th and got my refund deposited this morning! Took exactly 21 days. We're also newly married and filed jointly for the first time - no issues there. I think the key was keeping it simple - just W-2s, standard deduction, no credits. The acceptance email came through same day we filed. Don't stress too much @Ellie Lopez - sounds like you're right in the normal timeframe! The IRS 21-day processing window is just an estimate and can vary. Check your transcript on the IRS website if you want more detailed info about where your return stands in the process.

Filed with H&R Block on Feb 5th and still waiting here too! Also filed jointly for the first time after getting married last year - seems like there are a few of us in the same boat this season. My WMR tool shows "still being processed" with no bars filled. I've been checking obsessively but trying to remind myself that 21 days is just an estimate. Seeing everyone's different timelines is actually pretty helpful - looks like it really does depend more on what's in your return than who prepared it. Fingers crossed we both get good news soon! The waiting game is definitely stressful when you're counting on that money.

Filed with H&R Block on Feb 6th and got my refund deposited yesterday! Also filing jointly for the first time after getting married - seems like there are quite a few of us newlyweds in the same situation this year! 😊 My timeline was pretty standard at 22 days. We had a straightforward return with just W-2 income and took the standard deduction. The "Where's My Refund" tool was stuck on "being processed" for most of the time, then suddenly updated to "refund sent" and the money appeared the next day. Don't lose hope - it sounds like you're right in the normal processing window! The IRS really does seem to stick pretty close to that 21-day estimate for simple returns.
