Chime Early Direct Deposit for Tax Refund - Path Act lifted on 15th/17th
My transcript shows path lifts between the 15th and 17th. Anyone know how many days early Chime usually deposits refunds? Keep hearing 5-6 days early but not sure if thats accurate anymore with all the delays this year.

Tax pro here - Chime typically releases funds as soon as they receive the ACH from IRS. Generally 2-5 days before your DDD (direct deposit date). But remember, the Path lift date isn't your DDD - you'll need to wait for your transcript to update with an 846 code to know your actual deposit date.

ā¢Exactly! Path lifting just means they can start processing. Could be quick, could take another week or two

Hey instead of playing the guessing game, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund. It costs $1 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your deposit, even predicts if Chime will release early. Way better than trying to decode all these dates and codes ourselves. https://taxr.ai

ā¢100% works! It predicted my exact deposit date down to the day, even factored in my Chime early deposit. Best $1 I spent this tax season fr
