Do state tax refunds get deposited on Sundays? Anyone get theirs on a weekend?
I'm showing my state refund is supposed to be deposited today (Sunday). Has anyone actually gotten their refund on a Sunday before? Or will it probably show up tomorrow? Getting antsy since I've been waiting almost 2 months now.

Yes, technically the funds can be sent by the state on Sunday, but it really depends on your bank. Most banks process deposits on business days only. Some online banks and credit unions do process deposits 7 days a week. You might see it pending today but it probably won't clear until Monday.

Hey everyone! Instead of playing the guessing game, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refunds. It costs like a buck but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect the money. Way better than refreshing your bank app all day https://taxr.ai

The IRS and state tax systems are literally running on computers from the 60s expecting us to live in their stone age world smh

Pro tip: sign up for informed delivery with USPS. Sometimes you'll see the check image before it even arrives if they're mailing it instead of direct deposit

I got mine last year on a Saturday with USAA! But like others said, it really depends on your bank's processing schedule. The state probably sent it out, but your bank might hold it until tomorrow. Two months is rough though - hopefully it shows up soon! 🤞

•USAA is pretty good with weekend deposits! I've heard they're one of the better banks for that. Fingers crossed it shows up for @Elin Robinson today since she s'been waiting so long 🤞

Two months is way too long! I'd definitely call your state tax department if it doesn't hit your account by Tuesday. Sometimes there are processing issues they don't tell you about. Also check if your direct deposit info was entered correctly - I've seen people wait forever only to find out there was a typo in their routing number.

•This is such good advice! I had a similar issue a few years back where I waited forever and it turned out my bank account number had a typo. Definitely worth double-checking all the direct deposit details if it doesn't show up by Tuesday. The state tax departments are usually pretty helpful when you call too.

I feel your pain on the waiting! I've been in the same situation before. From my experience, it really comes down to your specific bank's policies. Some credit unions and online banks like Ally or Marcus will process deposits on weekends, while traditional banks like Chase, Wells Fargo, and BoA typically hold them until Monday. If you have mobile banking, you might see it show as "pending" today but not available until tomorrow. The good news is that if the state says it's being deposited today, the money is definitely on its way - it's just a matter of when your bank releases it to your account!
