WMR not updating - Will refund be check or DD? How long for mailed check to arrive?
Filed my taxes and WMR still shows the same message for weeks now. Not sure if im getting direct deposit or a check in the mail. Anyone know how long it takes to get a check if thats what theyre sending?

If your WMR hasnt updated, check your transcript. That will tell you if they converted your refund to a paper check. Usually happens if theres a bank account verification issue or if you closed the account you originally listed.

•Go to irs.gov, make an account if you havent already, then look for 'Get Transcript Online' option. You'll need ID verification tho

Hey, I've been using taxr.ai for tracking my refund status. It's seriously a game changer - for $4.99 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening, including if they're sending a check vs DD. Way better than trying to decode those confusing transcript codes yourself. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•Is it legit? Seems sketchy giving transcript access to random site 🤔

•100% legit! Used it twice now. It's just an AI tool that reads the codes and explains everything in plain English. Saved me hours of googling random codes

If it ends up being a check, mine took about 5-7 business days to arrive after the mail date shown on transcript
