By all reports tax return processing and refund payments for the 2024 tax season are going much smoother thanks to IRS investments in technology and no new stimulus payments or tax credits to administer. However further security controls and PATH act restrictions (see below) could delay potential refund payments for some filers.
When Can I Expect My Tax Refund in 2024?
According to the IRS refunds will generally be paid within 21 days. This includes accepting, processing and disbursing approved refund payments via direct deposit or check. This is regular days, not business days.
This was the basis for the estimated 2024 IRS refund schedule/calendar shown below, which has been updated to reflect the Jan 29th, 2024 start date of IRS tax return processing this year.
The refund processing schedule is organized by IRS’ WMR/IRS2Go processing status‘. The listed dates are just week ending estimates and your refund could be paid anytime during the week based on your IRS cycle code (see more on that in sections below).
Further, as many tax filers have found out over the last few years, actual refund payment dates could be much longer if your return is pulled for mandated PATH, additional identity fraud/security checks, special handling or manual agency reviews.

The estimated IRS refund payment dates in the chart above should not be construed as official IRS payment dates. To get the exact date of your refund payment check the IRS’ Where is My Refund (WMR) site or your IRS transcript.
How to read the IRS refund processing schedule
The estimated refund payment dates in the table above are based on past years and IRS processing guidelines. It shows the date your refund will be processed and paid based on the week your return is accepted and refund is approved by the IRS.
The federal IRS refund processing schedule is only for electronically filed returns (e-file) done thorough online tax software providers and assumes your tax return was in order. I.e accepted by the IRS via the WMR tool and status is equal to “Return Received”.
Once your tax return is successfully processed by the IRS, it will go to the “Refund Approved” status, after which it goes to refund sent when the payment is disbursed by the IRS.
Paper filed returns can take considerably longer and could take 1 to 2 weeks longer than the direct deposit payment dates.
Average IRS Refund
Based on the latest statistics from the 2023 tax year the IRS processed over 160 million returns with the average refund payment being $3,089. This was 5% lower than the prior year.
Why Your Refund Payment Could be Delayed
There are many reasons your tax return processing could be delayed beyond what is shown in the standard schedule above. This includes submission errors, IRS reconciliation issues or security/fraud related issues.
This is why many filers are see the “Return Processing Has Been Delayed Beyond The Normal Timeframe (Tax Topic 152)” message during tax season.
Note that as in previous years, if you claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) your refund may have been delayed beyond the standard processing times due to the PATH act provisions.
This is to allow for fraud and dependent verification on these dependent related tax credits. See sections below for more on the PATH act and refund release timeline.
For those experiencing ongoing issues or delays with their refunds check out this article on “Why is it taking so long to get my refund.”
IRS Test Batches – Early Refunds
A week or two prior to the IRS officially accepting and processing tax returns, they will often run several test batches with various major tax software providers to “test” and “verify” their systems are integrating externally and processing returns correctly.
This will result in WMR status updates for a small subset of tax payers picked in these early test batches, but refunds won’t be paid until after the official IRS processing date.
Note that early refunds paid as a result of test batch processing are not the same as those via refund advance loans.
When Should Taxpayers contact the IRS?
The IRS has said that phone and walk-in representatives can only research the status of your refund if it has been 21 days or more since you filed electronically, or more than 6 weeks since you mailed your paper return or if the IRS WMR tool directs you to contact them.
You can also see earlier updates from prior tax seasons and the thousands of comments below this article around dealing with delayed tax refund processing issues!
So stay tuned and subscribe to get the latest updates and helpful articles for the upcoming tax season. I also post regular Youtube video updates on tax related topics.
Help! My WMR status bar has disappeared
As many folks have commented, the WMR tracker status bar may disappear or not be shown if your return falls under IRS review after it is received (Status Bar 1: Return Received) because additional information is needed for your return.
This can happen even if you previously checked WMR and it showed the status as “Return Received.” An explanation or instructions will be provided depending on the situation (e.g. PATH message or Tax Topic 152 as discussed below)
But don’t panic when this happens. The IRS still has your return but things are essentially on hold until the IRS gets the additional information from you to continue processing your return . You will either get directions on WMR or IRS2Go or the IRS will contact you by mail. See more in this video.
Follow the provided instructions and return any additional information ASAP to get your potential refund and reduce any further delays. Talk to your accountant, tax advocate or tax professional if you are not clear on what the IRS is asking for or you don’t get an update after 21 days.
PATH Act and Tax Topic 152
Two of the most common refund related messages showing up on the WMR tool after your tax return is submitted are the PATH message and to Refer to Tax Topic 152.
The PATH message on WMR/IRS2Go relates to the the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act of 2015) and is to notify you that the IRS is legally required to hold and further verify tax returns that include EITC or ACTC.
While the IRS can continue to process affected returns, they cannot issue refund payments until the PATH act lifts. This generally happens from mid-February. See more in this article on PATH act processing for the current tax season.
The PATH message does not mean your tax return is done and your tax refund is approved. It simply means the IRS systems have identified you are claiming the (EITC) or the (ACTC) on your tax return, and so further processing and payments related to your refund are held up for the statutory hold period (3 weeks after the start of tax season).
Once the PATH restriction is lifted, the IRS will process these returns and pay refunds per the above schedule. You may see Tax code 570 with a Notice 971 code (IRS review adjustment) if your refund is adjusted for other reasons.
When you see the “Refer to Tax Topic 152“ message it means your refund is being processed and the IRS is directing you its generic refund page for more information. There is not much you can do but wait to see if the IRS finds any issues or requires further verification of your identity or items in your tax return.
A Tax Topic 151 message simply means that you’re getting a tax offset which may result in your refund being less than you expected. The reason for this is that the federal government has “offset” or deducted monies from your tax refund to cover debts you owe other federal agencies. See this article to get more details on why your refund was offset.
You will get an official notice letter/report explaining the actual offset and adjustments to your tax return, and details on how to appeal this action – but likely it will delay you getting your refund.
While not great news, the silver lining here is that the IRS has processed your return and your adjusted refund (where applicable) should be on its way. You will see code 846 on your transcript when the refund has been issued.
What is the IRS Cycle Code on my Transcript?
While the above IRS refund schedule can give you an estimated date for you refund once approved (WMR/IRS2Go status) by the IRS, it may take a while to get there.
So some folks use their IRS tax transcript (free from your IRS account) which shows various tax processing codes and a “cycle code.” This is an eight digit number that indicates when your tax return posted to the IRS Master File (IMF).
The cycle code is updated regularly and when combined with the tax topic code, can provide insight into your tax refund status, processing stages and potential direct deposit date. You can see a deeper discussion on IRS cycle codes in this article.
If I can see current year processing details on my IRS tax transcript does it mean I am getting my refund soon?
This question comes up a lot and I have seen a few comments on this suggesting that that if you can see current tax season processing details on your (free) transcript then your refund is on the way. But this is not a factual statement.
The IRS is very clear that just being able to see processing details on your IRS transcript does not mean you will imminently be getting a refund and is among the common myths and misconceptions repeated in social media.
For the current tax season you transcript will update several times in line with your cycle code (discussed above) and IRS processing. The official IRS line is that checking the WMR or IRS2Go tool is the best and official way to check your refund status.
However I have read a number of comments here and on other tax sites saying that when WMR/IRS2Go provides limited information on the refund, your IRS transcript can be a good source to get more details. The is especially the case if your refund processing has been stuck for a while.
IRS system issues and refund delays
Every year the IRS has issues with processing returns in a timely manner and so a number of people see delays in getting their refunds or updates in the status of their refund on the WMR tool/app.
The IRS has said most system processing issues have now been resolved and new funding will be used to upgrade systems.
But given the various legacy systems in place and sheer volume of processing to be done, including prior season backlogs of paper and amended returns, I would not be surprised to see system issues arise again this year, which mean more delays in processing and paying refunds. See more around processing delays in this video.
See these articles for average refund amounts in past tax seasons and refund processing times by state
Amended Tax Return Refund Schedule
While the IRS promises to have regular return refunds processed within 21 days for nine out of ten tax payers, it does take quite a bit longer to receive a refund if you amended your tax return.
Generally you will have to wait up to 16 weeks more for the IRS to process amended returns since they prioritize regular returns. Also note that the standard”Where’s my refund” service from the IRS does not track amended tax return status’. You need to instead use the IRS tool, “Where’s My Amended Return.”
You can also access the tool via phone by calling 1-866-464-2050. Only call the IRS to follow up on delayed amended return refunds after 12 weeks. The number to call is 1-800-829-1040.
________________________
I filed mine January 31st and it was accepted 3 hours later. It says return received and still processing. Why? I’ve never had this problem before. And what’s weird I always get my federal first but somehow I got my state already.
My was accepted the 22nd and still says processing.
I filed 1/20/2017 was approved 1/23/2017. And i have no bars my WMR says “Your tax return is still being processed” with nothing else. UGH so frustrating. I have tried calling and I cant seem to get a human.
I filed February 4th and they were accepted same day. It’s been 22 days and still stuck on return received and still processing. I have never had these issues I’m confused as to what is going on? My friend filed February 17 and already has and expected drop date of March 1st. I’m not sure what to think at this point and the phone operators at the IRS don’t see anything wrong. So why is it taking so long?
I filed my taxes on Jan 23 and with the delay I still see people getting there taxes after the 15. My return is still showing processing. I dont see how people are getting there’s before me
Same here . I filed recieved and accepted on Jan 03 . Just got mail date Feb 24 so I’m hoping for tomorrow !!!
I filed mine the 24th and mine is still processing. I called them and they said the same thing, still processing.
Ugh! Same here.. If u mean February 24th. Did u also claim kids?
IM going through the exact same thing
See now I don’t understand I filled the 7th of feb.and it was accepted that day.but I have 2 children and mine has been stuck on return received and being processed and it’s been like that for 2 weeks now..So now I’m starting to get really worried that something is wrong with my return…Any help or words of hope would be great…
May be under review for the two children . Call Call Call !
Sorry Laura – here is the best # to call for help 800-829-0582 ext 652 . Call them first thing Monday morning !!!
I file 2/9 was accepted the same day I had one bar it had updated to it saying being processed. This morning woke up to it updating to take action your refund is delayed. It had no reference code it just said call if you have any questions… Has anyone else got this? Can someone tell me what it means? Or give any advice on what to do?
I filed the same day as you and I was excepted and the checked and received the same message they said it’s because of EIC and you can’t speak to someone until it has been 21 days so I’m in limbo as well hoping to get answers by 3/1 because that would be 21 days
I have not had an update in WMR since the 15th of February…its been the same message “We have received your tax return and it is being processed”. I have called the IRS 4 times since the big update on the 18th of Feb, (reason being because most people I know who filed the child credit and filed after me, had already been given a date for the 23rd…where as I filed the 24th of Jan with child credit and still no date) and they thoroughly researched my account [[of course after persistently not accepting their generic reason of why mine could still be held up, and answering some simple id verification questions,]] and stated that there was nothing that posed as a red flag, nor did they see a notice being mailed out to me for verification…in other words, I should still be receiving my refund with no issues. So I asked then, why havent I gotten an update at the very least? If my account is so normal, I should have had a date as well, if not, my whole refund at this point…so again they tried to tell me there was nothing i can do except wait until the 27th for an update, or that wed for an update…until then its all a waiting game….I filed the freakin 24th of last month and its still nothing! Way past 21 days i feel like im in Limbo!
Hi Joana and to anyone who this may apply t. I myself have claimed the EIC and the ACTC. I filed on the 14thof Feb and my WMR did not change until last night or early this morning. The IRS updates the WMR only once a day and believe it or not its not until after 3am. I didn’t believe it either but I checked mine after midnight around 1am and nothing. Then I remembered hearing about the whole 3am thing and I got up at 3:44am and checked and sure enough it changed from Return received to Return accepted. And also said that the funds will be deposited by March 1st. So I’m hoping by the 27th or 28th. But shit even if I have to wait until Mar 1st. Better then another few weeks to a month awy.
I’m experiencing the exact same issue. This is horrible.
@joana I filed on feb 13 it was accepted same day. And it finally moved to refund appoved on Sat 2/25. It now says ill have my direct deposit by 3/1….since you filed 2 days after my you should get your ddd mon/tue…good luck
I greatly appreciate the support…hopefully monday yields great news! Im tired of waiting! If i can just get an update, thats all i need at this point for reassurance….ugh!
Going through the same thing, and was told the same thing when I called.
So, my WMR bar and code 152 disappeared after a week (was accepted on 2/17), the IRS identity verification website keeps rejecting my info saying it is incorrect (so i can’t be verified to order a transcript), this is my 1st time submitting as single (divorced late last year), I still owe from last year’s amended tax making monthly payments–with no late ones. There’s so much conflicting info on various discussion boards…can anyone offer some insight? I have a bad feeling about this…please HELP!!! (thanks)
Got approved says it was sent but still isn’t on my card
I got my refund today via check but I was suppose too get it derict deposit it was suppose to be deposited on the 15 of February got it today via check on the 24 of February of this helps any1
Filed taxes on 2-1-17 and still says processing. Friends and family have already recieved respective refunds and filed with ctc and eic as well.
Mine says it to and I filed 2/7.ugggg I wish I knew what was going on.getting worried
I filed on 2/7 with Turbo Tax …said it was received same day….how do I know if it was approved? WMR says it has been received and is processing and a refund will be sent when date is available….. But everyone around me filed after and have a refund or a date already!! Why is that?
I was approved on 2/5… Deposit date says 2/22..still received NOTHING!! The offset line says there was no offset…
I was processed Feb-17th. I am still waiting to be approved for a refund it is feb-25th . does it usually take this long to be approved?
I filed on 2-13-17 but still haven’t got approved message?
Mine was accepted 2/16 and it was just approved Sat 2/25.
I filed mine on 02/02/2017 and have not got anything back ???
Tiffany: r u waiting on a paper check?
They sent my out yesterday , should get it Monday . My WMR bar went to sent today .

I’m waiting for paper check . WMR went to sent . They sent it yesterday so I should get it Monday . Always send out on Friday and recieve on Monday . Been like that every year for me . I do my own taxes so it comes straight to me .
Me I filed Feb 9 it’s not updated or nothing my son birthday March 1 my page still it can’t give me further information
My taxes were accepted on Feb. 14 then approved just last night Feb 24 with a ddd of 3-1-17. My advice to everyone is to follow the tax time table on acceptances approvals and ddd. If yours isnt approved near the posted date the irs tool gives then your probably going to be waiting longer due to an issue. Hope this helps!
my status went from received to take action there has been a delay but no letter with reference code 1541 should i worry
I’m in same boat. Can’t find anything out.
WMR finally went to sent . I filed on 1/03 and accepted same day . What a long wait ! I will continue to pray for all of you still waiting . I feel your pain and frustration ! It’s gonna happen – stay strong my friends !!!!!
Any1 who is down get at me all yaw been helpfull its the least i can do
Its been fun talking to all yaw next year but b4 that drinks on me every1
I offered to buy drinks about a week ago while we were all still waiting but no one took me up on it !
What r we drinking
Damn bob we trying to be nice guys and no 1 is taking us up on it lol
So i received my letter today, the irs had to verify my employers health coverage plan. The letter shows everything has been correct and i have a small fine so hopefully i will receive my return soon. I also called customer service irs return dept she just repeated “wait for lettah” so hopefully this is a good sign
Did he tell you on where’s my refund that you were mailed a letter?
Well they are holding my return saying I didn’t file in 2012. At that time I had a tax offset so I wouldn’t have even bothered to check on refunds due so I didn’t have any clue they didn’t receive my return until today. I’ve had to get transcripts due to my daughters college 2013 forward so I knew those were processed and they issued my refund offset just fine, yet they wait until now to send me this? Ok so I need to find those old documents and file it I need my refund this year but I now can’t claim any of the dependent credits it looks like which pretty much forces me to owe them plus fees I’m sure, the credits are a big part of my overage on my return. I am so upset right now I don’t even know what to do. If anyone knows what credits I would be able to claim plz let me know just ugh
I checked wmr today at 6am it said sent 2-23-2017, my bank hasn’t seen anything yet neither has my online banking app or the main banking branch headquarters but I understand that it may take five days to become available apparently.
Try calling who you Filed with and get the account number it Was Supposed To Be sent to. They probably have the wrong account number . This happened to me today.
I have and everything is correct, I will just be patient and wait I guess that’s all we can do.
I’m literally dealing with the same problem, my WMR? Says it has been sent to my bank but my bank has not recieved anything . I called my bank and they said they don’t see anything .
Literally having the same issue!!!! Mine was to be deposited on 2/23 and has not been!
I filed on 2/4/17 and was accepted the same day i had one bar saying accepted now today no bars with a message saying refund accepted and being processed other people have filed after me and received their taxes anyone with the same problem this is so frustrating….??????
You should receive letter. But if irs does not have current address I.e you moved since last year you have to call them and update address.
Im having the same issue this has never happened to me
I have the same problem. I filed on the 3rd of February and when I checked WMR it says the same as yours. I have not received any letter or anything. Have you received one yet?
My return was accepted 1/26 and my status still shows processing. I thought waiting until the week of the 27th was bad but if it were coming I think it would at least show as approved by now
Can anyone who has called tell me the number they used and then options chosen that got you to someone that could actually help? I’ve either got stuck in a loop of automated options that get me nowhere or transferred around all over but ran out of time on my break and can’t hold just to be transferred again.
I needed this money badly for my electric arrangement, so stressed out
See this article – > https://savingtoinvest.com/how-can-i-actually-speak-to-a-real-person-or-agent-at-the-irs-phone-numbers-that-work/

I waited maybe one minute yesterday
I filled my taxes on 1-23-17 and was accepted same day called IRS and said mines was has been pick for review so who knows when I will get it and today is 2-24-2017
same here. filed and accepted on january 23, 2017 and told its been selected for review and the time frame is 60 days. today is 2-24-2017
Yes same thing they told me
Wow, I was told the same thing as well
Yep. I was sent a paper that said i was required to do nothing and that i was being reviewed. I also filed in january, accepted by the irs on the 28th. today is feb 27th and still no answers. I love how i can loan the feds money all year, interest free, and when I try to make it easier and faster on them by efiling and using direct deposit it blows up in my face. never again will i be responsible and swift with my filing. this is unbelievable because it sounds like by reading this forum that anyone who filed in the month of january are actually being punished. never again
Chris,
I don’t believe that this delay is apllying to those who filed in January. I filed Feb 1st and still haven’t received any more information other than still pending. I think it has to do with all of the changes being made in our government and not mention all of the identity theft is affecting everyone. At first, I honestly did mind the IRS taking the extra precautions. I was a victim of tax identity theft when I e-filed last year with Taxslayer, in which I had used for the past 7 years without any problems. But I think this waiting without any valid explanations is terrible!
I filed on January 23, received the same review letter dated February 3, 2017 (before they were even processing EIC returns…and it says “up to 60 days” which I find quite humorous since I went under a complete audit 2 years ago because my ex also claimed the children on my year, got a letter I was all set for the next 4 years….seems I’m not all set. I would agree, those of us that fied earlier are the ones they’re pulling, holding our returns. 60 days in this day and age is a ridiculous amount of time to review anything when they have all information they need and they are working 24-7…it should take a day to ‘review’ information, ask for anything else they need.
Wmr says sent 2/23..still not on my emerald card today. Did anyone get theirs a day late and late evening?
I filled my tax on February 8 but when I entered the information on t where is my refund it says there is no information available about my refund . I want to know what the hec is this and what is going on. Anybody has a similar case
Mine was sent on 2/24 and nothing yet in my account
Everyone try to remember once the WMR says “sent” that it doesnt mean we will have our money that second or day or next. The financial institutions everyone chooses to do business with ALL have different processing times themselves. Almost everyone that gets their refund approved dd will see 2 dates. Like mine says will be sent on 3-1-17 but dont really expect to use it til 3-6-17. The banks need time to do the pending transfers and everything that goes with it! Kk. Hope this helps
Same. I have checked everyday and they say there is no imformation available. As if I never sent efile.
Check it o see if your amount matches up. Whole dollar amounts, no cents
Did you e-file? If so, you should have gotten an email confirmation saying they were received at the irs. If not, you might have to resend them.
Me like still nothing
Mine is saying the same thing…no information available and it was filed on feb. 15th
Anyone file on or around 2/14/17 EIC was accepted and still no ddd?
I am obsessed with checking WMR….
We filed on the 13th, and ours is still in the accepted stage. But we had alot of changes this year, due to getting married and my husband claiming my children along with both of us filing joint, we are hoping to see it approved soon.
I did. And i checked this am and have a ddd date of 3-1
Yeah I did and it was approved with eic. It’s says by the 8th I’ll have my money.
I did. But you wont see a ddd date til it actually says refund approved. Which is the second bar on wmr. Once its approved you be given 2 dates actually. Mine are 3-1-17 and 3-6-17
I spoke to irs rep yesterday she stated my return was under review and they mailed off letter last friday 2/17, said she doesnt see where they are asking for anything but im still worrried, does this mean i’m being audited? i filed through TT and accepted on 2/12 single no dependents. ANYONE with any info plz help???
No it don’t mean being audited I ask the same thing because that’s what I’m going Thur she said it’s just being reviewed some ppl got selected
Quick question I got the same message saying that I have a got a letter sent to my house any updates on ur guys case
We all will have are refunds the week of 2/27 it does take the for banks to approve incoming deposits.
So I filed February 10,2017 so will I get my refund on 02/27 to…
My son did his on the 11th and has a date for the 27th..
My DDD was 2/23 my refund was released yesterday I called the IRS and they told me it was released it showed up on the site last night checked my card and h&r block site nothing I called emerald card they don’t see it they said to call the IRS again anyone else having this problem
Same thing here. Still not credited to my emerald card alough it says it was sent to the bank yesterday
Check the offset line they may have too it for a past debt
Same thing is happening to me , my direct deposit date was the 23rd when I checked yesterday it had not been sent out , this morning when I checked it had been sent out but nothing was credited to my account yet
Same thing is happening here says sent out to bank for direct deposit but nothing is showing in account
Same exact issue , same dates . What’s the problem ?
I am having similar issue. Wmr states that they sent dd to my bank 2/23 I have not received any thing it’s 2/24.
It can take up to a week for the direct deposit to be in your account !
I am having the same exact issue, I find myself keep checking my card. I’m getting anxious.
My refund was supposed to be released on 2/23, wasn’t release until 2/24, still no pending deposit or anything to my account!!
We filed on 2/4 and it still says they received it and are processing it. We did receive the EIC and claimed 2 children. I’m so upset it hasn’t even been accepted yet, we need this money so badly. Any insight please?
@MShea. I filed 2/3. Called yesterday and was told they sent a letter weeks ago that I have to verify my ID. Told them I never received it. Nothing.
This morning I called again. Tried to make an appt at the local office. “You need the letter”. I do not have the letter you supposedly sent weeks ago and will not send another. “Well you need it to verify your ID”. Once again. I never received it. You won’t send another. I work for a Hosp so getting off of work to make an appt is difficult. “Oh well you need the letter” and she hung up
If they recieved it and now proccessing , then it was accepted . Bet you get a DD on Wednesday WMR update ! Good luck !!!
So mine says sent to my bank on the 23rd but bank says they haven’t received anything yet,Is this an issue???
I have the same problem Irs is saying refund has been sent but the bank is still saying they have yet to receive.
Same! Mine showed approved as of 2/20 and to expect by 2/23. Still nothing as of 6:30 PST 2/24. But since they stressed the actual deposit may not show until 2/27, that could be why.
Try Calling who you Filled with and make sure that they have the correct account number just had this problem and the wrong account number and I just had to fix it.
I’m having the same problem my DD was 2/23 I called IRS yesterday they said they released it that day finally showed on the site last night called emerald card they have no record yet told me to call IRS I know it’s there they just need to put it on my card already I’m new at this and it’s my 30th birthday I was hoping it would be on by now
Yes mines was to be released to me also on 2/23 but it didn’t come.So today i check on the IRS2GO site now it saying sent ,and still my bank says that they don’t see anything pending. Also who is direct deposit with rush card?
The US Treasury should pay us interest on our over payment of estimated taxes. They use our money for an ENTIRE YEAR…then F around with all kinds of excuses on why there is a delay getting MY MONEY BACK INTO MY ACCOUNT….If we owe them money, by God they will charge us a PENALTY and INTEREST. They should pay interest on the money we over pay since it is basically a loan to the government. What’s good for us is good for them!
Was supposed to receive mine the 23 of this month filed through h&r block it says funds will be loaded to my emerald card Feb 23rd haven’t recived anything claimed 1 kid. Head of household. Also gave them my account number for dd nothing there either. And I got an email from h&r block that a check was being mailed to me .. anyone else have this going on ?
(From Jazzy) Paper check are only delayed by 2 extra days than Direct Deposit. Usually paper checks are mailed on Friday’s and you usually get within 1 week; the following Friday or sooner. The US Postal usually don’t deliver Refund checks until Saturday morning to prevent someone watching your mail and stealing the check. Most people are home on weekends and know what time their mailman comes on that day to check for their refunds. If, you have yet to receive your check it should be in your mailbox Saturday morning; but it could be today. Never know if the post office still use this practice as they did when we ONLY could do PAPER Return way before this efile came about. Did not find anywhere in the manual that is ONLY mail them out on Friday’s….but that is the norm.
3.30.123.4.9 (01-01-2017)
IMF Daily Processing
IMF Refund Payment Date -The IMF Refund Payment Date will be computed by IMF for both Direct Deposit and Paper Check refunds and will be listed on the refund transaction TC 846 in fields:
“RFND-PAY-DATE” on IMFOL, format MMDDYYYY
“RFND-PYMT-DT” on TXMOD, format YYYYMMDD
IMF computes this field as the posted cycle date PLUS four business days for Direct Deposit refunds; posted cycle date PLUS six business days for Paper Check refunds.
Thanks Andy !!!!!! You and Jazzy are the best !!!!!!!
Since feb.16,2017 where’s my refund has been saying that they have received my refund and it’s being processed. Now should I worry, cause everyone around is getting their taxes already
Same thing here
18008293676 live IRS number
This is crazy! I still have no date! I’ve checked WMR and it’s still saying that it’s still being processed…I called the IRS and after verifying some info, they told me there were no red flags and that everything looked fine and that I should expect my refund the week of the 27th…shouldn’t I have an update by now? I filed on the 24th of Jan with eictc claiming 2 dependents and still no update in WMR when some who have filed after me claiming dependents has already received their refund! I am so confused!
18008293676 this is the number for a live person at IRS good luck
We’re in the same boat. Extremely frustrating.
I have the same exact problem unfortunately
How long after I fads in the 8962 and 1095 in will I receive my refund. I filed on 1/27 They recieved it the same day I’ve faxed in everything I was asked to fax in bow after they recieved it will I get my refund.
Ok emerald card holders with H@R block..I know it’s easy to say when you already got your refund. But this card is the last minute thing or a day late thing…I had to call the irs ..now if you call irs and they say the done released it you will get it.but it’s still a wait..h @r block will say we don’t see your refund BS. It’s there..emerald card people will say the same..but it’s there…I got accepted Jan 17th and got it at 1:00pm..now when you get it you can only pull $3000 off a day that’s it until midnight then u can get $3000 more I went to net spend office. They charge $80 for $3000 it’s a check cashing place that has the net spend cards….
Ok I was wondering the I called the IRS yesterday they said they released it today it showed up on the site as sent called my card and checked the site nothing called the emerald card ppl they don’t see anything should I get my refund today h&r block said yesterday it would be last night or this morning
Filed 1-26 and still no DDD has a message been delayed with 1541 reference number, no letter from the IRS, called the IRS and was told I had no errors and it was just a delay
I got accepted on the 1-26 claiming EITC and ACTC and still do DDD, got a reference code 1541 called the IRS and they just said they don’t see any errors it’s just a delay. How long is it going to be delayed
My DD was supposed to be here yesterday 02/23. I check the IRS page and it wasn’t sent out. Now it’s 1am and I checked the IRS page it said it was sent but I still don’t see it on my bank account. Please Tell me others are having the same issue
I have the same issue
Same issue here, with account now visa gold pre paid. It shows sent after midnight, technically the 24th, b
ut nothing.
Same here Amy. Showed sent 2/24 midnight and account now shows nothing.. make matter worst, they are closed on the weekend
Same here sent 2-23-17 it’s 2-24-17 says sent but nothing my bank and the main branch nothing, my account nothing I claimed my daughter,
Is anybody filled 2/17 and got their refund in the bank already???
Is anybody file for 2/17 and got DDD on 23?
What is going on!???? I filed throgh H&R block .. The IRS page said My DDD is today (2/23) to my hr emerald card ..
and it is NOW 6:16 PM and still nothing!!!!! I’ve checked H&R site, IRS site, and called The card… And STILL NOTHING !!!!!!!!!
Same here! I did my through Turbo Tax, with direct deposit to my bank.. and still nothing!
I filed with H&R Block and my dd was 2/23 and got my funds loaded to my card at 12:00am this morning
Is anyone else who had their DD today, 2/23, still waiting? I am.. and I’m freaking out!
I had a dd of today but I’ve only received less than half of my return.
I have a deposit in my bank for less than half of my return but the it’s site still only says recieved anyone else have this issue? There’s no reason this year for them to take any of my return and if they did it would really throw a wrench in our plans cause we were counting on that for our move.
Sorry I mean the it’s shows my refund approved but doesn’t show its sent yet.
have u tried to call the irs or the person that did ur taxes maybe they will no what happen
I did them online and I haven’t tried calling the irs yet I was hoping the rest would be put in my account later but it hasn’t happened yet. So I’m gonna try to call some places tomorrow since most are closed for the night I think.
you should contact the offset hotline 800-304-3107
