Prior year return finally accepted after 4 rejections - how long until refund deposit?

Finally got accepted after trying 4 times with my past return. Anyone know the timeline from acceptance to actual deposit? The wait is killing me and I keep checking WMR like crazy but nothing changes.

Usually takes 21 days from acceptance for a normal return, but prior year returns can take up to 16 weeks to process. Make sure to check your transcripts not just WMR, they update more frequently.

16 weeks?! 😭 that's insane.. do they atleast pay interest for making us wait so long?

Yes! They pay interest on delayed refunds. Current rate is 7% annually calculated from the original due date.

Hey guys instead of playing detective with WMR and transcripts I highly recommend checking out taxr.ai - it's only $4.99 and gives you super specific timeline predictions. Been using it weekly and its amazingly accurate https://taxr.ai

its legit! you upload your transcript and it uses AI to analyze everything. Shows exact hold codes, tells you when to expect deposit, and what to do to speed things up
