State refund received - How long until Federal refund arrives?
Just got my state refund deposited today but still nothing from federal. Starting to get nervous since I filed both at the same time back in February. Anyone else get their state first? How long did you wait for federal after that?

State and federal refunds are completely separate processes. Getting your state refund has no bearing on when you'll receive your federal. Your best bet is to check your federal transcript for any updates or processing codes.

•Go to IRS.gov, click on Get Transcript Online. You'll need to create an ID.me account if you haven't already

Hey guys instead of trying to decode your transcript yourself, I've been using taxr.ai - its only $1 and gives you a really clear breakdown of whats happening with your refund and when to expect it. Saved me hours of googling random IRS codes lol

•100% legit! Just upload your transcript and it tells you everything - even caught some issues I wouldn't have noticed myself

I got my federal first actually. Took like 2 weeks, state took over a month. Seems totally random tbh

Protip: check your tax transcript instead of WMR. WMR is useless af these days

Same situation here! Filed both state and federal on Feb 3rd, got my state refund last week but federal is still showing "processing" on WMR. From what I've read, they really are completely separate systems so timing can vary wildly. Some people get federal first, others get state first. I'm trying not to stress about it but the waiting is killing me! 😅
