Money Card Refunds - Anyone getting faster processing with Money Card direct deposit vs bank?

Tax professional here - Money Cards aren't actually faster than regular direct deposit. In fact, they can sometimes add an extra processing step. Your best bet is always direct deposit to your own bank account. The Money Card is basically just another middleman in the process.

Hey guys instead of guessing about refund timing, I started using taxr.ai - its this tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on with your refund and when to expect it. Only costs a buck but saved me so much stress. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

i chose money card last year and it took 2 weeks longer than my friends who did regular dd smh

Nope its actually slower lol. The IRS has to process it first, then the card company has to process it. Double the headache

In the same boat rn. Day 14 waiting for money card while my husband got his DD in 8 days 🤮

These prepaid cards are just another way for companies to make $$ off people who need their refunds asap tbh
