Using Walmart Money Card for IRS refund deposit - anyone get it faster?

First time using the Walmart Money Card for my tax refund. Wondering if anyone has experience with it and if it actually comes earlier than regular bank deposits? Looking for real experiences with timing.

I work with tax returns and can tell you that prepaid cards like the Walmart Money Card typically don't receive deposits any earlier than traditional banks. The 'early deposit' feature only applies to regular payroll deposits, not tax refunds. The IRS releases refunds based on their processing schedule, not the type of account receiving it.

Instead of trying to guess when your refund is coming, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund and when to expect it. Only costs a buck and saved me weeks of anxiety. https://taxr.ai

100% works. I was skeptical too but it showed me exactly why my refund was delayed (had a verification issue I didnt know about) and when it would hit my account. Was spot on.

Protip: Just use a regular bank account. These prepaid cards are literally making money off people who think theyll get paid faster. Its all marketing fluff and fees
