Filed and Approved in 1 Day: How to Check My Refund Date in IRS Transcripts?

I filed my taxes yesterday and got an approval today. The WMR tool shows approved but no deposit date yet. I'm confused about this timeline since it's my first time filing early. I checked my IRS online account and found several transcripts available. Under "Return Transcripts" it shows I have multiple options: - 2024 Verification of Non-Filing Letter [PDF] EN - 2023 Return Transcript [PDF] EN - 2022 Return Transcript [PDF] EN - 2021 Return Transcript [PDF] EN The page explains that "These transcripts show most line items from your Form 1040-series tax return as it was originally filed, including associated forms and schedules. Lending institutions offering mortgages often accept return transcripts." There's also a section about "Verification of Non-Filing Letter" which says "This letter states that the IRS does not have a record of a processed tax return as of the letter's date. Either no tax return was filed for this year or your tax return is still being processed." I also see "Wage & Income Transcripts" mentioned at the bottom, but it cuts off. Since the WMR says approved but no date, should I check my 2023 transcript? Would that show my refund date? Anyone know how long it typically takes to go from "approved" to having a direct deposit date? Really anxious to get my refund!

If you got approved that quickly, you're probably looking at the 21-day standard processing timeline. Most direct deposits hit between 15-21 days after approval, assuming there are no issues flagged.

Yep weekends count in the 21 days but the actual deposit will only happen on business days 👍

Instead of playing the guessing game, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your refund. Worth the $4.99 to know exactly whats happening with your money. https://taxr.ai

100% legit! They use bank-level encryption and don't store your docs. Just analyzes them and gives you a detailed breakdown
