DDD 4/2/25 with Chime Bank - let's track our refund status updates!
Filed my taxes early February and finally got my expected deposit date of April 2nd 2025! I'm using Chime for my direct deposit and checking WMR obsessively. Anyone else with the same DDD particularly with Chime? Would love to know when people actually receive their funds so we can figure out if it comes early. My refund amount is around $6200 which includes EIC and CTC. Transcript updated yesterday with the 846 code. Let's keep each other updated on when funds actually hit accounts!

I'm a tax professional who works specifically with refund issues. When you see a direct deposit date (DDD) of 4/2/25 with code 846 on your transcript, that means the IRS has scheduled your refund to be sent to your bank on that date. Banks like Chime often release funds as soon as they receive them, sometimes 1-2 days earlier than traditional banks. For those wondering about the process: - The IRS sends the payment on the DDD (not before) - Your bank may have a processing time (0-3 days typically) - If you have offsets or debts, that could affect the amount - Tax preparation fees being deducted can delay things slightly If you don't receive your deposit by 5 business days after your DDD, that's when you should contact the IRS directly. The Where's My Refund tool won't provide additional details beyond what you're seeing now.

That's super helpful, thanks! Do you know if Chime typically deposits these funds at a specific time of day? I'm checking like every hour lol

chime is usually pretty quick with releasing funds, ive seen them release as early as 2 days before the official DDD. they dont have a specific time pattern though - some people get it 2AM, others midday. just depends on when the ach transfer gets processed.

I've had Chime for 3 years and they usually post my deposits between 11 am and 4 pm eastern. Last year got my tax refund exactly 2 days before the DDD.

Guys I was sooo frustrated trying to figure out what all my transcript codes meant. I finally used a tool called taxr.ai and it explained everything right away. It translated all the jargon and told me exactly what each code meant for my refund timeline. Saved me hours of googling and stressing. Honestly changed the game for me since I was so confused about why my refund was delayed and what the different dates meant. It basically reads your transcript and explains it in normal human language lol. https://taxr.ai

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

It's amazing! You just upload your transcript and it breaks down every code and explains what's happening with your return in plain english. It even predicted my DDD accurately before it showed up. No more searching random forums trying to decode what 570/971 combo means or why there's a date next to TC 150. Seriously the best thing I found this tax season!

You upload your transcript that YOU download from the IRS. The whole point is it reads YOUR specific transcript, not just general info. It saved me so much time instead of posting screenshots and hoping someone explains what's happening. EVERYONE SHOULD BE USING THIS!

I was in the exact same boat, but my DDD is 4/4/25 with PNC bank. I had the most frustrating time trying to reach the IRS about why my refund was taking so long. Couldn't get through for weeks. Finally used the Claimyr app and got a call back from an actual human at the IRS within 20 minutes! The agent explained everything and even released a hold on my account. Definitely check out claimyr.com if you're trying to talk to someone - it's the only thing that worked after weeks of busy signals and disconnects.

Yep 100% real. I was ready to throw my phone out the window after trying for days. The callback came so fast I wasn't even prepared with all my questions lol. Best decision I made - talking to an actual agent got everything cleared up in one call instead of me guessing what the holdup was.

honestly it was the best money I've ever spent to get my questions answered. Would've paid double considering how much of my time was wasted trying to call myself. My sanity was worth way more than what it cost!

Please do! I'm hopeful for early but not counting on it. Did your WMR update right away last year?

WMR didnt update until the actualy DDD date last year but the money was already in my account lol. The IRS systems are always behind the actual money movement 😂

Same DDD but with Wells Fargo. They NEVER release early 😑 Always exactly on the DDD or sometimes even the next day. Whyyyy did I choose them again? Traditional banks are the worst for tax refunds.

Anybody know if having offsets affects when Chime releases? I have a student loan offset but already accounted for that in my expected amount.

I had child support offset last year and it still came 2 days early with Chime. The offset is handled before it even gets to your bank.

I'm so tired of this process every year. Why can't the IRS just build a decent system that gives accuate information? Spendng hours trying to decipher codes on transcripts like we're solving some kind of davinci code or smthing. same ddd as you btw

The IRS is actually upgrading their systems with some of the funding from that bill passed in 2022. But it's gonna take years to implement. Until then... we suffer 💀

Not Chime but I have cashapp with 4/2 DDD. Filed 2/7, accepted same day, had a 570 code for a while that had me worried. Then got 571 followed by 846 with 4/2 date. The wait is killing me but at least we have dates now!

Anyone know why some people get theirs early and others don't? Is it just random or is there something in the transcript that indicates early vs on time deposit?

It depends entirely on your bank. The IRS sends the money on the DDD, but some banks (usually online ones like Chime, Current, CashApp) release it as soon as they see the pending deposit. Traditional banks tend to hold it until the actual date.

FYI for everyone - I got my tax transcript explained by taxr.ai and it was incredible. Showed me exactly what was going on with my return and predicted my DDD accurately. No more guessing or panicking about delays. https://taxr.ai saved me so much time and stress.

Yeah but worth every penny. I spent weeks trying to figure out what my codes meant and why my refund was delayed. This broke it all down in seconds and even told me what to expect next. I'll never go back to guessing or posting screenshots hoping someone will explain them.

You should really call them. I had the same issue and found out there was a simple verification they needed. Used claimyr.com to get through to an agent - solved in one call what had been pending for 6 weeks!
