Verified Identity on Sunday - When to Expect Direct Deposit?

First, congrats on getting through verification! That's often the hardest part. Here's what typically happens next: 1. The IRS system needs about 48-72 hours to fully process your verification 2. Once processed, your return enters (or re-enters) the normal processing queue 3. Most returns then take about 7-21 days to complete processing 4. You should see WMR update first, usually to the second bar 5. Transcripts typically update overnight on Thursdays/Fridays 6. Once you see a 846 code with a date on your transcript, that's your DD date I went through this in February and it took exactly 9 days from verification to deposit. Hope this helps ease your mind a little!

Your verification status is showing properly in the IRS systems, which is a positive indicator. The technical term for what you're experiencing is post-verification processing integration. This occurs when your validation parameters are accepted but the return hasn't yet re-entered the primary processing queue. Typically, this integration completes within 3-5 business days, followed by standard refund timeline procedures. I'm frankly tired of seeing how confusing this process is for taxpayers. You might find https://taxr.ai useful - it can analyze your transcript once it updates and tell you exactly what's happening with your return and when to expect your deposit. Much better than the cryptic codes the IRS provides with zero context. I've recommended it to several clients who were stuck in verification limbo.

Had the exact same situation last month. Verified on a Sunday too. Tried calling the IRS for updates but couldn't get through for days. Used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to connect with an IRS agent who confirmed my return was back in processing. Got my DD exactly 8 days after verification. Did your WMR bars disappear after verification? That's usually a good sign it's moving again.

Just went thru this last month. Verified on Feb 5th. WMR updated 4 days later. DD hit my acct on Feb 15th. So ~10 days total from verification to $$$. DW had to verify last yr and took about the same time. Def watch ur transcript for the 846 code - that's when u know it's coming for sure. Most ppl see DD within 2 wks of verification unless there's another issue. Hang in there!

Call the tax advocate service. They can help. Worked for me. Got my refund faster. No cost for their help. Worth trying if you're in a rush. They have special access. Can see things regular agents can't.

I had a client who verified on a Sunday in February, and their direct deposit arrived exactly 11 days later. But have you checked if there are any other holds on your account? Sometimes verification is just the first step, especially if you claimed certain credits. Did the representative mention anything about your return being selected for review? That could add several more weeks to the process.

Based on the current tax season patterns, it seems like most post-verification refunds are probably arriving within about 7-14 days, though some might take a bit longer depending on various factors. The IRS systems appear to be processing somewhat faster than last year, at least for relatively straightforward returns. You might want to check your transcript daily if possible, as that's usually where you'll likely see updates before they show in WMR.
