Anyone with Direct Deposit Date of March 24th/H&R Block/Emerald Card - Refund Received Yet?

Have you checked your H&R Block account online to see if there are any pending transactions? Sometimes the IRS shows a DDD but there might be processing delays on the bank's end. Are you getting any notification emails from H&R Block? Did you have any fees taken out of your refund that might cause additional processing time?

I just went through this exact situation last week! My DDD was March 17th with H&R Block and Emerald Card. It showed up exactly 24 hours after my DDD - but it was one business day later because my DDD fell on a weekend. If your DDD is the 24th and that's a business day, you should see it today or tomorrow at the latest. I was checking my account every hour until it finally appeared!

Here's how to resolve this systematically: Step 1: Check your IRS transcript to confirm the DDD is actually March 24th (not just WMR showing this) Step 2: Call H&R Block's Emerald Card customer service at 1-866-353-1266 Step 3: If they can't help, call the IRS directly The IRS phone lines are impossible right now - wait times over 2 hours. I used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) last week when my refund was missing and got through to an agent in about 20 minutes. They confirmed my refund was actually sent and helped me track down where it was stuck in H&R Block's system.

I've been through this with Emerald Card for 3 tax seasons now. Here's what typically happens: • IRS sends refund on the DDD (March 24th in your case) • H&R Block processes it (usually takes 24-48 hours) • If you had fees deducted, add another 24 hours • Funds finally appear on Emerald Card My experience this year: • DDD was March 15th • Money appeared March 17th around 2pm • No advance or fees in my case

OMG same boat! DDD 3/24, H&R Block, Emerald Card, and still nada. I finally checked my tax transcript using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) and it showed my refund was actually sent but there's some kinda hold on H&R Block's end? The site explained all the codes on my transcript and showed my refund was def processed and sent by IRS. Helped me figure out it's not an IRS issue but prob just H&R Block being slow af with processing.

Has anyone noticed if direct deposits to regular bank accounts are processed faster than these prepaid cards? It's like the difference between express shipping and standard - wondering if I should switch methods next year if Emerald Card is consistently slower than direct deposit to a traditional bank.
