Chime tax refund direct deposit says 2/24/25 but nothing showing up?

I was expecting my tax refund direct deposit today (2/24/25) according to my transcript but nothing has shown up in my chime account yet. I checked my transcript this morning and it shows 846 code with today's date. Filed through freetaxusa on January 25th, accepted same day. WMR shows approved with estimated deposit date of 2/24. Checked my chime notifications every 30 minutes but nothing so far. Has anybody had their chime deposit come later in the day? This is so stressful cause I really need this money for rent next week

IRS refund deposits typically follow a specific schedule. The 846 code on your transcript indicates the refund has been issued, but there can be a delay between when the IRS releases the funds and when they actually appear in your bank account. A few things to know: - Banks like Chime may take 1-2 business days to process deposits even after receiving them - The 2/24 date is when the IRS sends the payment, not necessarily when it hits your account - Since today is 2/24, you may not see it until tomorrow or the next day - Sometimes Chime releases funds early, but not always I'd recommend waiting until at least tomorrow before getting too concerned. If nothing shows by Wednesday, then you should contact Chime to confirm they haven't received any pending deposits.

Thanks for ur help. Just seems weird because last year it came the same day as the 846 date. My friend got hers at 10am this morning and we have the same date.

Every situation can be different. The IRS sends refunds in batches throughout the day, so your friend might have been in an earlier batch. Also, if your friend has a different bank or even a different Chime account setup date, that can affect timing too.

Lol this happens to me EVERY year and I always panic. Give it till midnight tonight, and if not then defintiely tomorrow. The IRS and banks move at different speeds. My chime usually hits mid-afternoon.

Hey, had a similar issue - I was freaking out and couldn't understand what was happening with my refund. Ended up using taxr.ai and it was a game changer. The tool analyzed my transcript and explained exactly what was going on with my refund and when to expect it. Saved me hours of stress and confusion trying to decipher those crazy IRS codes. https://taxr.ai is what got me the clarity I needed.

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

It does way more than just read the transcript. You upload your transcript and it breaks down every code, date, and amount in plain English. It told me exactly why my refund was delayed and gave a pretty accurate prediction of when it would actually hit. Also helps with notices and other tax forms too. Honestly never going back to guessing what those codes mean.

Just checked it out and WOW. Where has this been all my tax-filing life?? Finally something that actually explains what's happening with my money instead of me trying to google random codes and dates. Everyone dealing with IRS refund stuff needs to try this!

Totally legit. I was skeptical too but it's just a transcript analyzer - you upload your transcript and it explains everything. Been recommending it to everyone in my family.

After dealing with a similar situation and getting nowhere for days, I used claimyr.com to actually get through to a live IRS agent. Got a callback in about 30 minutes when I'd been trying for DAYS on my own. The agent confirmed my deposit was sent and explained exactly why it wasn't showing in my Chime yet. Best money I've spent all year considering how much anxiety it saved me.

For me it was 100% worth it. I was wasting hours on hold only to get disconnected. The peace of mind from talking to an actual human at the IRS who could see my file was priceless. They helped me resolve my issue in one call.

sounds like some scam service 🤔 the irs doesn't do callbacks

It's not the IRS doing the callback - Claimyr just navigates the phone system for you and calls when they reach an agent. Then you get connected. Not a scam at all, just saves you from the hold music hell.

Used this last week when my refund was showing as "still processing" for over a month. Got a real IRS agent who found the issue immediately. Refund arrived 3 days later. 10/10 recommend if you're stuck.

Chime is usually really good with early deposits but they've been weird lately. I've noticed my deposits sometimes come in waves - like certain times of day they process a batch. Try checking again around 3-4pm and 6-7pm, that's when I've seen most of mine drop.

Same boat. Freaking out over here. Chime account showing NOTHING but transcript says 846 with today's date. My rent is due on the 1st and I'm starting to panic. Will update if anything changes.

Sometimes it depends on ur specific chime account. My husband and I both have chime but his always hits earlier than mine even when we have the same deposit date 🤷‍♀️

Chime can be a day or two off from the actual IRS date sometimes. I've used them for 3 years, and its hit or miss whether they're early or on time. Last yr my 846 date was 3/15 but I didn't see my deposit til 3/17. Annoying but normal.

i work for a bank (not chime) and heres what happens: the irs initiates the ACH but it has to go through the federal reserve clearinghouse then to chimes processor then to ur account. all that can take up to 24-48 hours. if the 846 date is today, give it till weds before panicking.

trust me i get the stress. fwiw most of our customers see their deposit within 24hrs of the 846 date. just depends on when the irs batch processes run.

the wmr tool and transcripts are a joke. both said my refund would come 2/17 and it showed up 2/20. the irs cant even keep their own systems in sync. just wait a couple days before freaking out.

Have you checked if the routing and account numbers on your return match your actual Chime account? I had this happen once where I typed one digit wrong and my refund got rejected back to the IRS.

THIS IS WHY I STOPPED USING CHIME!!! switched to Capital One and get my deposits consistently on the same day as my 846 date. Chime used to be good but they've gotten so unreliable recently.

That's not really fair. I've used Chime for 4 years and NEVER had an issue. They're usually early with my direct deposits.

the IRS is a disaster this year. I had an 846 date of 2/10 and didn't see my refund until 2/14. Then got a random letter saying they adjusted my amount by $2 😂 Make it make sense! Just be patient for a few more days.

try calling the tax advocates line at 877-777-4778. they might be able to tell you if there's an issue with your refund that's not showing up on transcript yet. sometimes there are holds that don't show up right away.

Good luck getting through on that number! I tried for 3 days straight before giving up. The advocate system is overwhelmed right now.

I was having the same problem getting through, but used claimyr.com and got a callback in 45 minutes. Tax advocate confirmed my refund was fine and explained exactly when to expect it. Saved me days of frustration.
