TurboTax + Cash App Direct Deposit: How long for refund after fee deduction?
Filed my prior year return using TurboTax and chose Cash App for direct deposit. Anyone know the typical timeline for getting the refund after fees are taken out? I regularly use Cash App for other deposits so I know its reliable, just wondering about IRS refund timing specifically.

Using Cash App for tax refunds is perfectly fine. The timing is exactly the same as any other bank - typically 21 days for current year returns, and 6-8 weeks for prior year returns. The fee deduction happens instantly when the IRS releases the funds, you won't have any extra wait time because of Cash App.

For prior year returns, the timing can definitely vary a lot right now. The IRS is still catching up on older returns, so while the standard timeline is 6-8 weeks, some people are seeing longer waits. Cash App itself won't add any delay - once the IRS releases your refund, it should hit your account within 1-2 business days max. You can check your refund status on the IRS website or set up account transcripts to track progress if you want more visibility into where things stand.
