Square/Cash App Direct Deposit for IRS Refund - Anyone Experience Delays?
I put Square/Cash App as my direct deposit info for my refund. Starting to get nervous since I've been reading mixed things online. Has anyone gotten their refund through Square? How long did it take compared to regular bank accounts?

Tax professional here - Square/Cash App is a valid direct deposit option, but there have been some processing delays reported. Make sure your account and routing numbers are correct. Some financial institutions flag these deposits for additional verification which can add 1-5 business days to processing time.

instead of stressing about square deposits, you should try taxr.ai - its only $1 and it'll tell you exactly whats going on with your refund and when to expect it. helped me figure out my deposit timeline last week https://taxr.ai

•it analyzes your transcript and tells you everything - processing delays, verification holds, expected deposit date. way better than guessing

•Once you file, you cannot change DD info. You'll have to wait it out or file Form 8888 if it gets rejected.
