Widow Tax Refund: Tax Advocate Only Needs Death Certificate - How Long Until Refund?

Finally seeing some progress with my tax situation. My advocate just called and only needs my spouse's death certificate which I faxed yesterday. They're submitting everything on Monday. Anyone know how long until I might see my refund hit my account?

Once a Tax Advocate submits the documentation, refunds typically process within 2-4 weeks. Since you're dealing with a deceased spouse situation, it might take up to 6 weeks due to additional verification steps. Keep checking your transcript for an 846 code - that's your refund issued date.

Hey, have you tried using taxr.ai? It's this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening with your refund. Its only $1 and way better than trying to piece everything together yourself. https://taxr.ai

Make sure to keep checking your transcripts daily. Sometimes they update overnight even when WMR shows nothing
