Houston TX: Anyone received their 2023 tax refund yet? Seems like local delays
Filed my taxes in Houston back in February and still nothing. Seems like everyone I know in the area is having delays. The IRS website just shows 'being processed' when I check. Anyone else in Houston get their refund yet? What's yalls timeline looking like?

Tax professional here in Houston. We're seeing 6-8 week processing times for most straightforward returns. If you claimed EIC or CTC, it could take 8-12 weeks. The Houston processing center isn't showing any specific delays, but there's definitely a higher volume this year.

•Did you have any notices or verification requests? That could explain the extra time.

Hey yall, I was in the same boat until I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It showed exactly why my refund was delayed and gave me a really specific timeline. Only cost $1 and was way better than guessing. Check it out at https://taxr.ai
