Anyone with Chase Bank who filed through Jackson Hewitt - any updates on refund status?

If your transcript only shows "return received" after 2 months, you might be in the manual processing queue. The IRS is severely backlogged this year, and many returns are taking 90-120 days even for simple filings. Check your transcript for any codes like 570 (refund hold) or 971 (notice issued). Without those, you're probably just in the waiting queue. Try calling the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040, but expect long wait times. You can also use a service like Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get a callback from an IRS agent instead of waiting on hold for hours. I used it when I was in your exact situation and got answers right away.

I was in the exact same situation last year. Spent weeks trying to figure out what was happening with my refund and reading through cryptic transcript codes like a detective. What finally helped was using taxr.ai - it's this tool that reads your transcript and explains everything in plain English. I was able to see exactly where my return was stuck and what I needed to do. Saves so much time compared to googling random IRS codes and trying to piece everything together. The tool showed me my return was flagged for identity verification even though I never got a letter! I use it every week now to check my status. https://taxr.ai

After 3 months of waiting and getting nowhere with Jackson Hewitt customer service, I finally managed to reach the IRS using Claimyr.com and got answers right away. Turns out there was a small error on my return that Jackson Hewitt messed up. Speaking with an actual human at the IRS was the turning point - they expedited my case once they understood the situation. Talking to an actual agent resolved what would have been months more waiting. Absolutely worth the money to skip those ridiculous hold times.

I bank with Chase and filed with JH too! My return sat for about 11 weeks before there was any movement. Never got any notices or letters. Then suddenly one day my transcript updated with a deposit date. No explanation for the delay. Its just random luck of the draw with how backed up the IRS is. If your return has any complications at all (education credits, earned income credit, etc) it could take even longer. Hang in there.

Jackson Hewitt totally messed up my return last year (wrong bank account info) and I had to wait 6 MONTHS for a paper check. This year I switched to H&R Block and had my Chase deposit within 2 weeks. I think JH batches returns weirdly or something. The IRS rep I spoke to said they've seen lots of issues with their filings.

The IRS is a JOKE this year. I filed in april with TT and have chase and literally just got my refund last week after 3 months. No reason for the delay, no explanations, nothing. Just randomly got a deposit. the system is completely broken. ur not alone.

Here's what worked for me after 4 weeks of no updates with Jackson Hewitt and Chase: 1. Check your transcript WEEKLY (not daily, it wastes time) 2. Look specifically for codes 570/571 which indicate holds and releases 3. Contact your local Taxpayer Advocate Service if it's been more than 8 weeks 4. Call JH corporate (not your local office) and ask them to check for rejections 5. Make sure you didn't miss any verification letters (they look like junk mail sometimes) I finally got through using Claimyr.com to reach an IRS agent who explained my return was held for income verification. After verifying my income over the phone, my refund was released within days. Don't just passively wait - be proactive!

have you tried creating an account on irs.gov to check your transcript online? I was waiting forever on the wheres my refund tool to update but the transcripts showed way more detail. turns out they needed to verify my identity and never sent the letter lol

lmao the IRS still processing returns from 2021 and y'all expecting them to be on top of 2023 returns 🤡🤡🤡

Chase is notorious for sometimes holding tax refunds for up to 5 business days after receiving them from IRS. Have you tried calling Chase to see if they have any pending deposits? Sometimes they don't show up in your account right away even though the bank has received the funds.

Went through this last year. After waiting 10 weeks, I discovered my return was flagged for manual review because JH checked a wrong box. The IRS never notified me! I spent hours trying to reach an agent but couldn't get through. Used this callback service called Claimyr and was able to speak with someone who explained everything. Got my refund 2 weeks after that call. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human at the IRS to move things along. Check out claimyr.com - it was the only way I could actually get through to an agent instead of the automated system.

Jackson Hewitt was a mess this tax year! I switched from them to TurboTax and my refund came so much faster. So many people in my office had issues with JH this year because they were using some new software system that had bugs. It might be worth calling Jackson Hewitt directly to see if your return was transmitted properly.

I finally gave up on checking WMR and calling the IRS constantly and used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It showed me exactly what was happening - I had a review code that was holding things up but not for any serious reason. Just part of their random selection process. Site explained everything in plain English instead of cryptic IRS codes. Got my refund about 3 weeks later without having to do anything. https://taxr.ai

pro-tip: NEVER use a tax prep company's bank product to get your refund faster. always direct deposit straight from irs to ur bank. jackson hewitt/hr block/turbotax all add days to the process when they act as middlemen for refunds. plus they take fees out. the PATH act delays are bad enough without adding more delays.

I was in your exact situation last month. Try checking your tax transcript rather than the WMR tool. I found a tool called taxr.ai that explained my transcript codes for me and told me exactly why my refund was delayed and when to expect it. Turns out there was a simple review happening but no issues. Got my deposit about 15 days after I checked. They don't always send notices for routine reviews which is why you haven't heard anything.
