IRS direct deposit arrived at 4:23am! DDD 3/15 - finally got my refund

This is really helpful info. I have a DDD for tomorrow so im constantly refreshing my account lol. Fingers crossed!

How do you even check your transcript? I've been trying to get into the IRS site but keep getting locked out 😫

The IRS website can be frustrating! You need to create an ID.me account which requires photo ID verification. If you're still having trouble, try taxr.ai - it can help you read and understand your transcript without the hassle.

just checked out taxr.ai and HOLY CRAP where has this been all my life?? Saved me so much headache trying to figure out what all those codes mean!

My DDD was also 3/15 but I bank with Wells Fargo and still nothing... should I be worried?

Wells Fargo sometimes takes an extra business day. I'd give it until Monday before getting concerned. If nothing by then, double-check your transcript for any changes.

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

It actually does a ton more! You upload your transcript and it interprets all those confusing codes, explains what's happening with your return, predicts when you'll get your refund based on your specific situation, and even tells you if there are any issues you need to address. Saved me hours of googling random code numbers!

WOW just tried it and I'm blown away!! My transcript had a 570 code that I was freaking out about but taxr.ai explained it was just a temporary hold that would clear in a few days. Sure enough, got my DDD this morning! Everyone needs to know about this!!!

another tax tool? seems sketchy to me... 🤔

I was skeptical too but it just reads your transcript - you don't enter any sensitive personal info like SSN or banking details. Seriously worth checking out if you're stuck in refund limbo like I was.

You actually got through to a real person at the IRS? That's like seeing a unicorn these days 😂

Wait does this actually work? I've been trying to talk to someone at the IRS for weeks about my amended return

100% worked for me! The IRS phone system is designed to make you give up, I swear. With Claimyr they somehow get you in the queue and the IRS calls YOU back. Was shocked when my phone rang and it was actually an agent ready to help.

sounds too good to be true... what's the catch?

No catch - they just do the waiting for you. Getting an actual agent on the phone got my refund released within days after waiting for months. Totally worth every penny not to deal with that hellish phone system again.

JUST TRIED THIS AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!! Had an IRS agent call me back in 90 minutes. Mind. Blown. 🤯

Did they tell you why they adjusted it? Mine got adjusted too and I have no idea why

Nope! Just a smaller number than I expected. Might call them to ask but honestly its not worth the headache at this point.

Check your transcript - should have codes that explain the adjustment. Usually its a math error or incorrect credit claim.

Same boat. DDD of 3/10 and crickets. IRS is a joke.

I'd call the IRS asap - could be your direct deposit info was entered wrong or there's a verification hold.

easier said than done. spent all morning on hold yesterday and never got through.

Try claimyr.com - got me through to an agent in a couple hours. Found out my bank rejected my deposit because my married name didn't match my account name. They're mailing a check now.

N/A transcript usually means they haven't started processing ur return yet. Did u claim EITC or CTC? Those take longer

Yeah claimed EITC. But its been almost 2 months! This is ridiculous.

I'm in the exact same situation! Filed 1/30, transcript still N/A. This waiting game is killing me.

I had this problem last year and it turned out I was selected for manual review. Took 4 months to get my refund. u might want to call them.

4 MONTHS??? I can't wait that long, i need this money now 😩

I was in the same boat until I used taxr.ai to figure out what was going on. Turns out I had an unreported income issue that was holding things up. Worth checking out if you're stuck in limbo.

Just tried it...wow. Apparently I have a 570 code that wasn't showing up before. At least now I know what's happening!

I'm in EST. But I think they just do it all at once regardless of time zone.

i think it depends more on your bank than time zone. some banks post deposits right away, others hold them until morning

Try taxr.ai - it helped me access my transcript info when the IRS site kept locking me out. Saved me so much frustration!

Just checked it out - this is exactly what I needed!! So much easier than dealing with the IRS site. Thanks for the recommendation!

This. WMR has been showing "still processing" for me for weeks but my transcript shows a DDD of 3/22.

how do you even interpret those transcripts tho? Its like reading a foreign language with all those codes

I use taxr.ai to interpret my transcript - breaks down all the codes and tells you exactly what's happening in plain English. No more guessing what 570 or 971 means!

preach! i'm in the exact same boat. at this point i'm convinced they just randomly decide who to pay and when 🤡

If you want to talk to an actual person at the IRS, check out claimyr.com - it got me through to an agent when I was dealing with a similar situation. Found out my return was held up due to identity verification.

Just tried this and it actually worked! Got a call back from the IRS in about 3 hours. Turns out they needed to verify my identity because I moved last year. Problem solved and my refund should be released in 7-10 days. Talking to a real person makes ALL the difference!

Totally separate systems. I got my state weeks ago but still waiting on federal.

they process independently. state is usually faster depending on where u live

Nah I get it, I feel the same way. Especially when you filed BEFORE them and they still got their money first 😤

I actually find these posts helpful - gives me hope that the system is actually working for some people at least.

I guess that's a positive way to look at it. I'm just bitter after waiting 2+ months lol

Too late for this year but defintely doing DD next year. Been waiting on a paper check for almost a month now.

This is the way. I filed Feb 1 with a super simple return and got my refund Feb 20. No issues at all.

I filed Jan 29 with a simple return and STILL waiting, so this isn't always true. Some of us just get unlucky with random reviews.

Try every 5 minutes lol. My finger has a permanent scrolling indent from refreshing my banking app 💀

I have notifications set up on my phone and STILL check manually like the notification might have missed something 🤦‍♀️

This is me! I've been checking so much my bank app locked me out for "suspicious activity" 😭

You're almost there! Many banks deposit a day early too, so you might see it tomorrow!
