Does IRS deposit refunds on Sundays/Federal Holidays? Need exact deposit timeline

I'm scheduled for a refund this week but its showing the deposit date falls on a Sunday. Will they actually deposit it then or do I have to wait till Monday? Also what about holidays - do deposits go through on those days?

The IRS never deposits refunds on weekends or federal holidays. The actual deposit will hit your account on the next business day. If your WMR or transcript shows a Sunday deposit date, you'll receive it on Monday. For federal holidays, same thing - it rolls to the next business day.

Hey guys just wanted to share something thats been super helpful - I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund status. It analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect the deposit, even accounts for holidays and weekends. Only costs a buck and saved me hours of confusion https://taxr.ai

Sounds interesting. How accurate is it? Does it just read dates or actually explain whats going on?

Its crazy accurate! It breaks down every code and tells you if theres any delays or issues. Even caught a hold on my account I didnt know about
