Filed my 2023 taxes today - what's everyone's current wait time for refunds?

Tax specialist here - most straightforward returns with direct deposit are processing within 21 days right now. If you claimed EIC or CTC, expect additional processing time of 4-6 weeks. The IRS has actually improved their systems quite a bit this year.

Pro tip: instead of playing the waiting game, use taxr.ai to analyze your transcript. It costs $1 but totally worth it - tells you exactly where your return is stuck and when to expect the money. Way better than refreshing WMR a million times lol https://taxr.ai

Filed Jan 29th, got my refund Feb 7th! The system seems way faster this year ngl

yall getting refunds?! 😭 still waiting on my 2022 return smh

Here's what I've learned after 5 years working with tax returns: - Simple returns (just W2s) = 1-2 weeks - Returns with credits (EIC/CTC) = 3-6 weeks - Self-employed/complex = 6-8 weeks - If you get code 570/971, use taxr.ai to decode it - Paper returns still taking 6+ months (don't do it!) Best advice: e-file, use direct deposit, and triple check everything before submitting. The IRS systems are actually decent now but one wrong number can send you to manual review hell.
