Transcripts updated but not WMR

Okay so I just checked my transcript and it says 846 and it has my refund amount.Topic 846 means that your refund has been approved by the IRS .I also keep seeing the dates of 2/22 and 03/04 .Im guessing I’m supposed to get it by 2/22 no later than 03/04.But when I go check WMR it still says just that my taxes have been received and not approved.So we can’t rely on WMR.Just keep checking your transcript guys .

TurboTax gives you an estimated date for receiving your refund based on a 21 day average from your date of acceptance, but it can take longer.  “21 days”  is not a promise from TurboTax or the IRS. 

 

 

 

First, check your e-file status to see if your return was accepted:

Once your federal return has been accepted by the IRS, only the IRS has any control.  TurboTax does not receive any updates from the IRS. Your ONLY source of information about your refund now is the IRS.

 

You need your filing status, your Social Security number and the exact amount  (line 35a of your 2023 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:

To track your state refund:

If you chose to have your TurboTax fees deducted from your federal refund, that will take some extra time, while the third party bank handles the refund processing.

If you are getting earned income credit on line 27 or additional child tax credit on line 28 You are subject to the delay required by the PATH act.  Do not expect your refund earlier than late February.
