IRS Agent Released My Return - How Long Until Direct Deposit?

Just got off the phone with an IRS agent who released my return from hold. They mentioned 6-8 weeks for mail but faster with direct deposit. Anyone know how long it usually takes to get a deposit date after a release?

Tax pro here - typically after a manual release, you should see movement on your transcript within 7-10 business days. Direct deposit usually hits 5-7 days after you get your DDD (direct deposit date). Keep checking your transcript daily for updates!

Look for code 846 - that's your refund issued code. When you see that, you're golden! 💯

Hey guys! Instead of playing detective with transcripts, I've been using taxr.ai and it's been a game changer. It costs $4.99 but tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your money. Way better than guessing tbh https://taxr.ai

Pro tip: check your transcripts at like 3am-6am EST. That's when they usually update the system
