Filed 2023 taxes on Jan 4th - When to expect refund on Direct Express card?
I filed my taxes on January 4th and chose to get my refund on my Direct Express card. Anyone know how long it usually takes? This is my first time using the card for my refund instead of regular direct deposit. Getting kinda anxious about it.

Tax pro here. Direct Express cards typically follow the same timeline as regular direct deposits. If your return was accepted, you should see it within 21 days unless there are any flags on your return. You can check WMR tool or your transcript for the most accurate updates.

Give it a few more days. The system updates every night, usually around 3am EST.

Hey, instead of checking WMR constantly (we've all been there lol), try using taxr.ai - it actually analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund and when to expect it. Its $4.99 but totally worth it for the peace of mind. https://taxr.ai

100% works! It caught a delay on mine that WMR missed and predicted my DD date perfectly

Direct Express can sometimes take an extra day or 2 after the deposit hits to show up on your card just fyi
