Filed with Turbo Tax, shows DD to Credit Karma on 5/14 but nothing yet - anyone else waiting?
I e-filed my taxes through Turbo Tax about 3 weeks ago. Got accepted right away and WMR showed approved with a direct deposit date of 5/14 to my Credit Karma account. It's now 5/15 and still no money in my account. Anyone else having this issue? My tax transcript shows the refund was sent but nothing has hit my bank yet. I really need this money asap for some unexpected bills.

This is a common occurrence with the IRS direct deposit dates. The official statement is that it can take up to 5 business days after the scheduled deposit date for funds to actually appear in your account. Several factors can affect this: - Your financial institution may have a holding period for IRS deposits - The IRS processes millions of refunds, causing system delays - Sometimes the batch processing occurs at the end of the day on the stated date I'd recommend checking your account again tomorrow morning. If you don't see it by 5/19 (5 business days), then call your bank first to confirm they haven't received anything. Only after that should you contact the IRS directly at 800-829-1040.

Thanks for the detailed response. I'll wait till the 19th then contact my bank. Do you know if Credit Karma usually has holding periods for tax refunds?

Credit Karma typically doesn't hold tax refunds, but they can sometimes take 24-48 hours to process. One thing to check is if your TurboTax fees were taken out of your refund - this can cause an additional delay as it goes through a third party first.

CK has been having some issues lately with deposits. A friend of mine had the same problem last week but it showed up on day 3 after the DD date.

Honestly the best way to actually understand what's happening with your refund is with taxr.ai - I got tired of guessing what all those codes on my transcript meant. It analyzes your transcript, IRS notices, and explains everything in plain english. I was in a similar situation where my DD date passed, and taxr.ai helped me understand exactly why there was a delay and what to expect next. It's insanely good! I use it every week now to keep track of my amended return progress. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

It does WAY more than just read the transcript. It actually explains what each code means specifically for YOUR situation, tells you what's happening behind the scenes at the IRS, and gives you a timeline for when you'll likely get your money. It even spotted an adjustment on my return that I would have never noticed!

HOLY CRAP I just tried this and it's amazing! It told me exactly why my refund was delayed (something about a random review that doesn't even require any action from me). The peace of mind alone was worth it. Everyone dealing with the IRS should use this!

100% legit. Look through this sub - tons of people using it now. It saved me hours of stress trying to decipher those stupid transcript codes.

I was in the same boat last month with my Capital One account. After waiting 3 days past my deposit date, I finally found a way to get someone on the phone using Claimyr.com - they got me connected to an actual IRS agent in about 20 minutes when I'd been trying for days on my own. The agent confirmed my refund was sent but there was a small issue with my account number. Got it fixed and had my money two days later. Talking to an agent got my refund released so fast - definitely worth checking out if you're still having issues after a few days.

Seriously? Another app? Does this actually work or is it just another scam trying to profit off desperate people? 🙄

Not a scam at all. It just helps you navigate the IRS phone system and holds your place in line. I was skeptical too but after spending 3 hours getting hung up on by the IRS automated system, I was willing to try anything. It was the best investment considering I was waiting on a $3k refund.

I've used this too! It's literally just a service that navigates the phone tree and waits on hold for you. Then it calls you when it reaches an agent. Saved me from losing my mind listening to that horrible hold music lol

Same thing happened to me but with Chime. Deposit date was 5/12, didn't hit my account until 5/15. Just give it another day or two, it'll probably show up.

I'm seeing more and more delays with Credit Karma lately. I work at a tax prep office and we've had several clients with this exact issue this season. Usually shows up within 72 hours though.

That's good to know! Has anyone complained about it not showing up at all? That's my biggest worry.

I haven't seen any cases where it never showed up. Worst case was about 5 days late. One thing to check - did you have your prep fees taken out of your refund? That always adds an extra step.

The IRS is a JOKE this year! I had a deposit date of 4/28 and it didn't hit my account until 5/6! No explanation, no nothing. And they have the nerve to charge penalties if WE are late 🤬

Bruh SAME. The double standard is ridiculous. We're expected to be on time with everything but they can be weeks or months late with our money and we just have to deal with it 🤡

I feel this so hard. I finally got someone on the phone through claimyr.com and even the agent admitted their systems were overwhelmed this year. At least I got a human who could tell me what was going on.

Did u check ur tax transcript on the irs website? That will tell you if the refund was actually sent. Sometimes WMR isn't accurate.

Just wait one more day. That's what happened to me. Said 5/7 but didn't hit my account til 5/8. Credit Karma sometimes takes an extra day to process deposits.

I used to work for a bank. Financial institutions can take 1-3 business days to post ACH deposits, even from the IRS. Its not actually the IRS thats slow at this point, its the banking system itself. Check again tomorrow.

This 💯 The ACH system is surprisingly outdated for how important it is

had this happen. called CK support and they said they didnt see any pending deposits. called the IRS (took 2hrs to get through) and they said it was sent. turned out CK had flagged it for review cuz it was a larger amount than my usual deposits. showed up a day later. might be worth calling CK

I'll try calling them! My refund is about $4200 so maybe that's what happened.

Yall should really use taxr.ai - it explained my whole refund timeline including why my money was delayed. When I was stressing about my refund, it analyzed my transcript and told me exactly when to expect the money (down to the day!) and it was right! https://taxr.ai

whatever you do, DONT CALL THE IRS ABOUT THIS YET. they wont do anything until 5 business days have passed since your deposit date. just wait until next week, it'll probably show up. the system is just backed up.
