Processing Date Pattern: DDD Always 3 Days Later - Anyone else notice this trend?
I've been tracking my tax transcript dates over multiple years and noticed something interesting. My Direct Deposit Date has consistently been exactly 3 days after the processing date. Not sure if this pattern means anything for this year since theres a holiday tomorrow. Anyone else notice similar patterns in their transcripts?

This is actually a pretty common pattern. The IRS typically processes refunds in cycles, with deposits usually occurring within 2-5 business days after processing. However, holidays and weekends can affect this timeline. Keep in mind that the 2024 filing season has some unique processing changes that might affect these traditional patterns.

•Each case is different depending on credits claimed, verification needs, and your bank's policies.

Hey everyone, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund and it's been a game changer. Instead of trying to guess patterns, it actually analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly when to expect your refund. Only costs a buck too! https://taxr.ai

•Yeah it's legit! It reads your whole transcript and explains everything in plain English. Shows all possible delays and gives you exact dates 💯

Federal holidays usually add 1-2 business days to the normal processing time. Your looking at probably 4-5 days this time around instead of the usual 3.
