    Right now, they issue refunds on Weds and Fridays. However, it can take your bank 1-5 days to record the deposit.

    I have seen deposits every day of the week. Check the IRS site for the progress of your refund....

    They issue your return on Wednesday and Fridays. A max of 21 days after your return is accepted. Its quicker to have your return direct deposit.

    Your bank will no allow the deposit to go into your account if your husbands name is not on the account also. The bank will reject the deposit and then your husband will have to wait for the funds to be sent back to the IRS and then they will issue him a paper check to be sent in the mail via USPS (Regular postal service). I only know this because my mother in law had this issue and luckily she added her fiance to the account before it was sent so there was no issue. The bank told her that all banking institutions work this way and will not allow deposits with out the receiving party being listed on the account because it would be a form or fraud and anyone could take someone elses money. Hope this helps someone avoid this from happening. I know this post is old but im sure someone else will have the same issue.

    Where is my refund?  I efiled on Feb. 27, and received a IRS reply on the same day, accepting my efile.  The IRS is shorthanded,which may delay the refunds.

    I have checks deposited to my husband's bank account all the time and my name is not on the account so this shouldn't be a problem.  However some banks may not allow this.  Check with your bank to find out.  Hope this helps! 🙂

    Only the IRS will know exactly when you will receive your refund. 

     

    You can track your return by checking the Where's My Refund website located here

     

    If you elected to have your fees deducted from your refund, the IRS will send your return to Santa Barbara Bank, where they will deduct the fees and then deposit any remaining refund into your account. 

     

    You can track your refund at the Santa Barbara website by clicking here

     

    You can view the amount of your refund when logging into Turbo Tax.

    There is no specific day of the week on which the IRS transmits direct deposits. 

     

    You can check for an estimated date for your economic impact payment here: Get my Payment. If no status is currently available for you, it does not mean you will not get a payment.  The tool is still being updated nightly.

     

    You can check to tool up to once per day to see if your status has been updated, and once the IRS has determined the best way to send a payment to you and set a date for it to transmit, you will find that information on their site.

    Because of all the “drops” people are doing (it’s also called fraud- people use dead people’s info or steal other people’s identities ) banks are cracking down... the big name banks anyways... as for credit unions and military accounts those are different I believe.... military accounts allow it usually if you have the same last name as the person or if your listed as a spouse or sibling in the account.. it does not have to be a joint account to have an authorized person on the account with specific types of accounts but if your an authorized person then the bank can allow it but now days things aren’t the same like they use to be..,. I’m with Wells Fargo and I even had to have a joint account with my husband in order for him to deposit his paycheck into the account.. the bank manager told me without him on the account it wouldn’t be allowed especially if the check is from a different bank then Wells Fargo... things are sooooo complicated now it seems

    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: 

    https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/efile-status-lookup/

     

    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 2022 Form 1040) of your federal refund to track your Federal refund:   

    https://www.irs.gov/refunds

    To track your state refund:

    https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901548-why-do-some-refunds-take-longer-than-others

    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.

    OR——if you filed by mail, expect a long wait.   It is taking the very backlogged IRS six to nine months to process mailed returns.   Until a human opens your envelope and enters the data into the system, nothing will even show up on the refund site, so you will have to be very patient.

     

     

    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.
