Tax refund finally hit my account on 4/15! Who else got theirs today?

Finally got my tax refund deposited today (4/15)! Been checking my bank account every morning for weeks and there it was this morning. The IRS definitely made us wait this year but the money finally came through. So relieved! Anyone else get their deposit today? Remember to be smart with that money, maybe put some aside for next year's taxes. See y'all during next tax season!

Zoe Stavros

Congratulations on getting your refund! The IRS has been processing returns more slowly this year due to staffing issues and increased verification procedures. For those still waiting, remember that direct deposit refunds typically take 21 days from acceptance date, but can take up to 8 weeks if there are issues that need review. If you filed by paper, expect 6-8 weeks minimum. You can always check your refund status through the "Where's My Refund" tool on IRS.gov or by using the IRS2Go app. Make sure you have your filing status, exact refund amount, and SSN ready when checking.

Thanks for the info! Yeah I waited exactly 24 days from when my return was accepted. Longer than last year but at least it finally came through!

The where's my refund tool was showing 'still processing' for me until literally the day before it hit my account. Not very helpful tbh 🙄

If any of you are trying to understand why your refund was delayed or want to know what's happening with your tax account, check out taxr.ai - it's been a game changer for me. Instead of guessing what all those transcript codes mean or why there's a hold on your refund, this tool actually explains everything in plain English. I used it when my refund was delayed and it showed me exactly what was happening and when to expect my money. So much better than playing detective and trying to piece things together from random forum posts!

Sounds interesting. How exactly does it work? Does it just read your transcript or does it do more?

It does WAY more than just read your transcript. It analyzes everything - explains all the codes, tells you if there are any issues with your return, predicts when you'll get your refund, and even explains letters from the IRS. Saved me hours of stress trying to figure out why my refund was delayed. Honestly wish I'd found it sooner instead of obsessively checking my bank account every morning for weeks 😂

LISTEN UP PEOPLE! This isn't just another tool - taxr.ai literally saved me thousands of dollars and weeks of stress. My refund was on hold and the IRS phone lines were useless. This tool showed me EXACTLY what was happening with my return, identified an issue I didn't know about, and gave me step-by-step instructions to fix it. My refund was released less than a week later. Try it or don't, but I'm telling everyone I know about this!

Got mine today too!!! Took 3 weeks longer than last year but whatever I'll take it. Already paid off my credit card balance and put the rest in savings. Feels good man.

After waiting almost 6 weeks with my return stuck in processing limbo, I finally broke down and used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual human at the IRS. Got a callback in less than an hour and the agent was able to release my refund on the spot - it hit my account 3 days later. Definitely worth trying if you're still waiting and going crazy!

100% worked for me. I was super skeptical too but was desperate after trying to call for weeks and never getting through. Best money I ever spent considering I was waiting on a $3800 refund that was just sitting there. The IRS agent told me there was a random review flag on my account but nothing was actually wrong.

Yeah it's definitely frustrating that we have to go to these lengths just to talk to someone. But waiting on hold for 4+ hours or trying to call 50 times a day wasnt working for me. Talking to an actual agent got my refund released immediately so for me it was a no-brainer.

I filed in mid-February and got mine today too! Noticed a couple interesting things: 1) My refund amount was actually $53 more than what I calculated on my return, and 2) The Where's My Refund tool never updated to show a deposit date, it just showed up in my account. The IRS works in mysterious ways lol.

They probably adjusted something on your return. If you want to see what changed, you should check your tax transcript on the IRS website.

Did you claim EIC or ACTC? Those credits automatically delay processing until at least mid-February.

I was in the exact same situation last year. Called the IRS over 30 times and could never get through. Finally used Claimyr to get someone on the phone (claimyr.com) and found out there was a simple verification issue they never bothered to tell me about. Fixed it right away and had my refund a week later.

No deposit here yet but I checked my transcript this morning and saw code 846 with a date of 4/17, so hopefully it hits in the next couple days! Hang in there everyone still waiting.

That's your direct deposit date! You'll definitely get it on 4/17. The 846 code is the refund issued code.

Just because you got your refund doesn't mean everyone did. I'm still waiting since JANUARY and can't even get through to ask why. The IRS is a complete joke this year.

Congrats! I'm still waiting and going crazy. Filed 2/12, accepted same day, and transcript shows a 570 code from 3/25 with no update since then. Anyone know what this means?

0 coins

Freya Pedersen

570 means they put a hold on your account for some reason. Could be identity verification, income verification, or they found a math error. You'll probably get a letter explaining why, but it could take weeks to arrive.

I had the exact same situation last month. Used taxr.ai and it explained exactly what the 570 code meant in my case (a simple income verification issue). Showed me what documents I needed to send in too. Got my refund 2 weeks later after I sent in what they needed.

Pro tip: if you get a big refund, adjust your W-4 withholding at work! You're just giving the government an interest-free loan all year. I adjusted mine last year and now get about $100 more in each paycheck instead of a big refund once a year.

So jealous!! I filed with a tax pro on 2/15 and WMR still shows "still processing" with no bars. Called the IRS last week and they said I'm under a "random review" that could take up to 120 days! That's FOUR MONTHS just to process a simple return with W-2 income! This system is beyond broken.

Check your account transcript on the IRS website. It will have codes that explain the adjustment. Most common reason is incorrectly claimed credits.
