Has anyone with H&R Block Emerald Card gotten their refund deposit from 2/27 DDD yet? Still waiting...

H&R Block Emerald cards typically take 1-3 business days after your deposit date to actually receive funds. The 2/27 date from the IRS is when they release the funds, not necessarily when your bank processes it. Since 2/27 was just Tuesday, I'd wait until Monday before panicking. The IRS and banks don't count weekends as business days for processing. If you don't see it by Monday, call the number on the back of your card to check if there are any pending deposits. Sometimes they put holds on large deposits for security reasons. You can also check your tax transcript on the IRS website to see if there were any changes to your deposit date or if there's any other codes that might explain the delay. Also, make sure you're checking the actual Emerald Card app and not just your regular bank app - sometimes people look in the wrong place.

I was in this exact situation and tried everything until I found taxr.ai. It's this tool that actually reads your transcript and can tell you exactly whats happening with your refund. I was trying to be a detective piecing together all these weird codes and dates but taxr just explained it all for me instantly. Apparently my DDD wasn't actually final because of something the system found, and taxr picked that up when I couldn't. Now I can actually track whats happening instead of guessing. https://taxr.ai saved me so much stress.

I also had a 2/27 DDD with H&R Block Emerald and mine hit at 4:30pm yesterday. Have you checked your account this morning? Sometimes they do overnight processing. If you don't have it by Monday definitely call them.

My H&R Block Emerald Card hit exactly 2 days after my DDD. So with a 2/27 DDD you should see it today or tomorrow. But honestly, I got tired of the waiting game and uncertainty with the IRS. This year I used Claimyr.com to actually get someone on the phone at the IRS who could tell me exactly what was happening with my refund. The waiting and uncertainty was killing me until I talked to a real person who confirmed everything was fine and gave me the exact timeline. Been using it every tax season now - best money I've ever spent on tax help.

H&R Block is THE WORST with timing. I stopped using them after they held my refund for 4 days last year. I switched to using my own bank account for direct deposit and got my refund exactly on my DDD this year. If you can, never use the Emerald Card again next year and just get direct deposit to your regular bank.

Had a 2/27 DDD and got mine this morning around 6am on my H&R Block Emerald. Might be coming in batches. Check the actual Emerald Card app and not just the text alerts - sometimes the alerts are delayed.

I work at a tax prep place (not H&R) but I can tell you most banks including H&R typically take 1-3 business days after the IRS date to process deposits. If you filed with them, you should call your specific H&R office - they often have more info than the general customer service line. Don't panic yet!

Make sure you don't have any offsets or garnishments? Child support, student loans, or old tax debt can cause delays or reduce your refund. Check your transcript for code 898 which would indicate an offset.

not to freak you out but my emerald card got hacked last year and someone took my refund before i could get to it. make sure you check if there were any transactions or withdrawals you didn't make!!

The WMR tool is notoriously inaccurate this time of year. Mine said 2/20 but didn't hit until 2/23. My sister is still waiting on hers from 2/15 lol. The whole system is a mess. They're probably just backed up with all the early filers.

Try checking your status on the IRS site directly instead of using the WMR tool. Sometimes WMR doesn't update but your transcript will show what's actually happening. Go to irs.gov, create an account if you don't have one, and view your account transcript for 2023.

Similar issue happened to me. After days of trying to figure out what was going on, I finally used Claimyr.com to get someone on the phone at the IRS. Turns out there was a small discrepancy in my filing that was causing the delay, but it wasn't showing up anywhere on the website. The agent fixed it on the spot and I got my refund 2 days later. Talking to an actual human at the IRS was the only thing that worked - best tax decision I've made in years.

Definitely not alone. I'm in the same situation with the same dates. H&R Block is always slower than other banks. My friend with Chase got her refund a day early from the same deposit date. It's frustrating but I'm giving it until Monday before I start calling and complaining.

This happened to me last year. It was super frustrating, but I randomly got a deposit notification at like 11pm on a Friday night, three days after my scheduled date. The H&R block system is weird with timing. If Monday comes with nothing, definitely call, but I bet it shows up over the weekend.
