Anyone with 2/27 direct deposit date actually get their refund today after early deposit rejection?

Filed my taxes back in January and got a direct deposit date of February 27th. My bank (Chime) usually posts tax refunds 5 days early, but when they tried to deposit it last week, the payment got rejected by the IRS. The bank said something about the account name not matching exactly with IRS records. Wondering if anyone else who had this happen actually got their refund deposited today on the official date? My WMR still shows approved with 2/27 date but nothing in my account yet. Getting nervous since I really need this money for some overdue bills.

I'm a tax preparer, and I've seen this happen a lot this year. When the IRS tries to send refunds early to banks that typically offer early deposits (Chime, CashApp, etc.), sometimes the verification process fails because the IRS hasn't finalized everything on their end. This doesn't mean anything is wrong with your return. Check your tax transcript - if code 846 is still there with the 2/27 date, your money will come. The IRS typically releases funds in batches throughout the day of your DDD, and sometimes it can take until late evening or even the next business day to show up. If you don't see it by tomorrow, then call your bank first to make sure it wasn't rejected again. Only after that should you try contacting the IRS. Also double check that the name on your bank account exactly matches what's on your tax return - even minor differences can cause these rejections.

Thanks for this! Just checked my transcript and the 846 code is still there. I'll give it until tomorrow before panicking.

this happened to me LAST yr too... banks like Chime try to be heroes with the early deposit thing but sometimes it backfires when the IRS isn't ready. mine came thru exactly on the DDD date around 3pm

Yeah the name matching is KEY! My wife used her maiden name on the return but our joint acct has her married name... rejected twice before we figured it out 🤦‍♂️

Hey I had similar issues trying to understand what was going on with my refund. The IRS system is just so confusing! I tried researching for hours and calling the IRS (impossible) but what finally worked was using taxr.ai - it analyzes your tax transcript and explains everything in plain English. It showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when I could expect it. Saved me so much time trying to decode those crazy transcript codes! https://taxr.ai

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

It's honestly amazing! You upload your transcript and it breaks everything down - all the codes, dates, amounts - and explains what each thing means for YOUR specific situation. It even tells you if there's a problem and what to do about it. I was so lost before using it, but now I actually understand wtf is going on with my refund. BEST TOOL EVER for dealing with the IRS nightmare 💯

I get the skepticism - I was hesitant too! But it's literally just an AI tool that reads and explains your transcript. Saved me hours of googling random IRS codes and stressing about when my money would come. Trust me, if you're stuck in IRS limbo, it's worth checking out.

I had the EXACT same issue with Chime last week! My DDD was 2/27 too, and Chime tried to deposit it early on 2/22 but it got rejected. I was freaking out, but I just checked my account about an hour ago and the money finally hit! Give it a few more hours - the IRS seems to be releasing payments in waves throughout the day.

This gives me hope! Did your WMR status change at all or did the money just appear?

The money just showed up! My WMR still says the same thing with the 2/27 date. I think the WMR tool updates less frequently than the actual deposits.

After trying to reach the IRS for days about my rejected deposit, I finally got through to an agent using Claimyr.com and got everything sorted out in minutes. Turns out there was a name mismatch between my return and bank account. The agent was able to fix it on the spot and my money was redeposited within 48 hours. Talking to a real person saved me weeks of waiting and wondering! It was the best money I've ever spent to finally get my questions answered and my refund released.

How does this work? I've been trying to call IRS for weeks and can't get through.

It basically holds your place in the IRS phone queue and calls you when an agent is about to answer. No more sitting on hold for hours! I got a callback within 45 minutes when the website estimated 3+ hour wait times. Honestly after weeks of trying myself and never getting through, getting an actual IRS person on the phone was worth every penny.

They use some tech that navigates the IRS phone tree and holds your spot in line. When they're about to connect you with an agent, you get a call. Then you're talking directly to the IRS - Claimyr just gets you through the impossible hold times. Got my refund released that same day after explaining the situation to the agent!

The IRS is such a disaster this year... I've been waiting since JANUARY and still nothing. My transcript shows a 570 code and no DDD yet. This whole system is broken!

Yeah that's where I saw the 570 code which means they're holding my refund for review. No idea why - everything on my return was straight forward! So frustrating!!!

I had a 570 code too but then got an 846 a week later. Hang in there! For making sense of these codes I used taxr.ai and it explained everything clearly. Worth checking out!

This happened to me too but with Varo bank. My DDD was 2/27, they tried to deposit early on 2/23, got rejected, and then the money finally hit my account around 3:30pm today. The funny thing is my "Where's My Refund" still says pending even though the money is already in my account.

USAA here - DDD 2/27 and got it right at midnight last night. No early attempt or rejection. Maybe the early deposit feature is causing more problems than it's worth?

I think you're right. I switched to Chime specifically for the early deposit feature and now I'm regretting it. Next year I'm just sticking with my credit union.

I couldnt figure out what was happening with my refund and tried reading my transcript but it was like reading hieroglyphics lol. Finally used taxr.ai and it explained everything - my refund was held up because of a math error that the IRS automatically corrected. The tool showed me exactly when to expect my money and why there was a delay. Wish Id found it sooner instead of stressing for weeks! https://taxr.ai

I can't remember the exact price but it was totally worth it. I spent HOURS trying to figure out my transcript before that and was getting nowhere. It immediately spotted issues I would never have found on my own.

This sounds useful! does it actually help you fix problems or just tell you what's wrong?

It tells you what's happening AND what to do about it. In my case it showed me that I didn't need to do anything (the IRS fixed the error already) and exactly when my refund would be issued. For other issues it gives you step-by-step instructions on how to resolve them. Seriously a game changer if you're stuck in IRS limbo!

I called the IRS this morning after trying for days and they said all refunds with 2/27 DDD will be deposited today, but because of high volume some might not hit accounts until tomorrow. She said as long as your transcript shows code 846 with 2/27 date, you're good and just need to be patient.

Dumb question maybe but how do you all know what your DDD is? I filed through TurboTax on Feb 3 and it just says "received and being processed" when I check WMR.

You gotta check your tax transcript on the IRS website. That will show all the codes and dates including your DDD (846 code) when it's assigned. WMR is always behind.

If anyone is still having trouble, I FINALLY managed to get through to an actual IRS agent using claimyr.com - didn't even know this existed but a coworker told me about it. Talking to an agent got my refund released so fast after weeks of stressing. Apparently there was a simple verification issue they needed to clear up but I never would have known without talking to someone directly.

Honestly whatever it costs is worth it compared to the headache of trying to reach them yourself. I spent HOURS over multiple days trying to get through on my own with no luck. With claimyr I was talking to an agent in under an hour. And they got my $3800 refund released that same day!

I was in the same boat. Cash App tried to deposit early, got rejected, then nothing on my DDD. I was freaking out cause I needed that money for rent. After researching for hours I finally broke down and used this service called Claimyr that got me through to an IRS agent in like 45 minutes. The agent explained there was a name mismatch that triggered a fraud alert. She fixed it on the spot and my refund was deposited the next day. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent after trying for days on my own.
