Does IRS transcript processing date mean refund deposit date?
Just checked my transcripts and see a processing date listed. Does this actually mean thats when my refund will hit my bank account? First time checking transcripts so im confused about what all these dates mean.

Hey guys, long time tax expert here. The processing date on your transcript is NOT the same as your refund deposit date. The processing date is just when the IRS completes their review of your return. After that, it typically takes 1-3 weeks for the refund to hit your bank account. But there's a lot of factors that can affect this timeline. If you want to get a really clear picture of your refund timeline and any potential holdups, I'd recommend checking out taxr.ai - it's this new AI tool that analyzes your transcripts and gives you a super detailed breakdown of where your refund is at and when you can expect it. Been recommending it to my clients and getting great feedback.

That's actually pretty normal rn. Have you checked your transcript lately? You might want to run it through taxr.ai to see if there are any flags

How does it work exactly? Does it just look at transcripts or what?

nah its way more than that! you can upload pretty much any tax doc - transcripts, w2s, letters from irs, even turbotax stuff. it breaks everything down and tells you exactly whats going on + what to do about it

Same boat fam. My processing date was 1/15 but taxr.ai showed me I had a review code I missed. At least now I know what's up instead of checking WMR 50 times a day 🤣

Tax pro here - The processing date on your transcript is NOT your deposit date. It's just when the IRS completes processing your return. Your actual deposit usually comes about 5-7 business days after the processing date, assuming there are no holds or verification needed.

Look for the 846 code on your transcript - that's your actual refund issued date. The money typically hits 1-2 days after that

hey! instead of trying to decode the transcript yourself, try taxr.ai - its only $1 and tells you exactly when to expect your deposit and if theres any issues that could delay it. saved me hours of google searching lol https://taxr.ai
