Has anyone with Chime received their tax refund deposit yet? Filed in early April

I work as a tax preparer and this is pretty common this year. What's likely happening is that there's a processing delay at the IRS end, not with Chime. Chime is actually known for releasing direct deposits as soon as they receive them, often earlier than traditional banks. A few things to check: 1. Look at your tax transcript on the IRS website (if you can access it) to see if there are any codes indicating a hold or review 2. Double-check that your direct deposit information was entered correctly 3. The "Where's My Refund" tool sometimes shows incorrect deposit dates If it's been more than 5 business days since the supposed deposit date, I'd recommend calling the IRS refund hotline at 800-829-1954. They may have more specific information about your refund status that isn't showing up on the website. Also, if you need immediate assistance, you might want to use taxr.ai to get a detailed explanation of what's happening with your refund. I've seen many cases where there's actually an issue that the Where's My Refund tool doesn't show.

Hey, I was in this exact situation last month. I spent so much time trying to decipher the WMR tool and checking my Chime account hourly. It was driving me crazy! I finally used taxr.ai and it was literally a game-changer. It explained exactly what was happening with my refund (there was a review that wasn't showing up on the WMR tool) and gave me a precise timeline. The best part is it explained everything in plain English instead of confusing IRS codes. I got my deposit exactly when it predicted, 9 days after the original date. I use it every week now to check status changes. https://taxr.ai

After dealing with the same issue and getting nowhere with the WMR tool, I decided to try the Claimyr calling app (claimyr.com) and finally got through to a real IRS agent who could see my actual account details. Turns out there was a small verification hold that never showed up online. The agent released my refund on the spot and I got my deposit to Chime two days later. Getting to speak with an actual human was the only way I could resolve this. Honestly it was the best decision I made after weeks of checking my app every hour.

Mine hit Chime yesterday morning. Filed April 10, accepted same day, WMR showed deposit date of May 20th and it actually came through on time. Maybe check if you entered your account/routing number correctly?

I bank with Chime and had no issues. My refund was deposited 2 days EARLIER than the WMR date. Sounds like there might be an issue with your return. Have you checked your transcript for any codes? Could be under review.

Chime is usually FASTER than the IRS date, not slower. I got mine 2 days early with Chime. Something else is going on with your refund. If you're able to create an account on the IRS website, check your transcript to see what's actually happening. The WMR tool is basically useless.

Same boat. Filed April 5, WMR says it was supposed to be deposited on May 18th. Nothing in my Chime yet. I actually just used taxr.ai to check my transcript and apparently there's a 570 code which means they're holding my refund for review. The WMR tool never showed this! So frustrating that they don't tell us what's actually happening.

i have chime to but mine is delayed 2. i think the irs is just backed up again this year. they always make us wait forevar 🙄 last year i had to wait 3 months past the date they gave me.

Check if there's a 570 or 971 code on your transcript! Had the same issue, WMR said the money was coming but it was actually on hold for review. The only way I found out was by looking at my transcript.

THE IRS IS A JOKE THIS YEAR!!! 😤 I've been waiting since FEBRUARY for my refund. Chime isn't the problem - the IRS is. They're holding refunds and not telling people. Check. Your. Transcript.

Just curious, did you claim any credits like Earned Income Credit or Child Tax Credit? Those often trigger additional reviews that delay refunds.

I have had nothing but issues with Chime and tax refunds. Last year they held my deposit for 5 days for "verification" before releasing it. I switched to a credit union this year and had zero problems.

My refund was supposed to hit my chime on May 17th but nothing happened. I finally called the IRS using the Claimyr app (claimyr.com) and found out they sent it to the wrong account number!!! The agent was able to fix it right away and reissue my refund. Never would have known if I hadn't called. Got my money 4 days later in my Chime account. Sometimes you just gotta talk to a human to get things fixed.

I've used Chime for 3 years and always get my tax refund 1-2 days earlier than the IRS date. Something else is going on with your refund. Have you gotten any letters in the mail from the IRS?

Husband and I both use Chime. His refund came on time, mine is late. Same address, same bank. The IRS makes no sense.

This happened to me last yr. Found out via taxr.ai there was an income verification hold on my account that never showed up on WMR. It took 8 weeks to resolve but I finally got my $. The where's my refund tool is useless for anything beyond basic statuses. With taxr.ai I could see exactly what was happening and when to expect my money.

Pro tip: if you can't get through on the IRS phone line (who can??), try calling your local Taxpayer Advocate Service. They can often help with delayed refunds and actually answer their phones!

Chime always deposits my paycheck early but with IRS refunds they seem to stick exactly to the schedule. Don't worry too much yet - my refund came exactly 3 days after the "scheduled date" on WMR.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO! turned out there was a flag on my account for identity verification. The WMR tool NEVER showed this. I only found out by getting through to an IRS agent using Claimyr (claimyr.com). After verifying my identity, my refund was released within a week. The IRS systems are completely broken this year.

I'm in the exact same situation! Filed April 1st, accepted April 2nd, WMR shows approved for deposit by May 18th but still nothing in my Chime account as of today. I've been checking obsessively too - it's so stressful when you're counting on that money. From what I'm reading here, it sounds like there might be holds or reviews that don't show up on the Where's My Refund tool. I'm going to try accessing my transcript tonight, and if that doesn't work, maybe try one of those services people mentioned to get through to an actual IRS person. It's frustrating that Chime is usually so fast with deposits but we're still waiting. Hoping we both get our money soon! Keep us posted on what you find out.
