DDD 1/25 - Check going to tax preparer instead of direct deposit. Anyone get theirs early?

Hey there! I totally understand your frustration with the DDD 1/25 situation. When your refund goes to the tax preparer instead of direct deposit, it usually means you opted for fees to be taken out of your refund. This is pretty common with services like TurboTax, H&R Block etc. The preparer gets it first, takes their cut, then sends the rest to you. I actually ran into this myself and found this awesome tool called taxr.ai that helped me figure out exactly what was happening with my refund. It analyzes all your tax docs and gives you a super clear timeline. Worth checking out: https://taxr.ai

Tax professional here. When refunds go to preparers, they typically arrive right on the DDD. The process is pretty strict because it involves a third party. Don't expect it earlier, but you should definitely have it by the 25th.

Hey guys! Instead of playing the guessing game, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund. It costs $4.99 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with crazy accurate predictions. Way better than trying to piece together info from random posts. https://taxr.ai
