Anyone else think its wild that we have to jump through all these hoops just to pay our taxes? Like, take my money already! š
Right?? It's like trying to give someone a gift but they make you solve a Rubik's cube first š
Just wanted to add - if you're doing this over the phone, make sure you're in a quiet place with good cell reception. I had to restart my verification call twice because the connection kept cutting out and they couldn't hear me properly. Also, have a pen and paper ready to write down any reference numbers or next steps they give you. The whole process is stressful enough without having to worry about technical issues!
I had my DDD on April 3rd, 2024 with CashApp and it actually hit at 1:23am that morning! Much better than last year when I had a May 17th, 2023 DDD that didn't arrive until 4pm. The IRS has been processing refunds faster this year with most people seeing deposits early morning of their DDD. One tip: make sure your CashApp is fully verified with all identity documents submitted or they might delay deposits.
I've been using CashApp for tax refunds for 3 years now and here's what I've learned about DDD timing: ⢠Midnight deposits are rare - most hit between 2am-6am ⢠CashApp doesn't show "pending" for tax refunds like they do for regular deposits ⢠If your transcript shows 846 code with tomorrow's date, it's definitely coming ⢠The IRS releases funds in waves throughout the day, not all at once Last year my DDD was on a Wednesday and it hit my CashApp at 4:47am. The year before it was around 2:15am. I'd recommend checking first thing in the morning rather than staying up until midnight. Also make sure your CashApp app is updated - I've heard some people had issues with outdated versions not showing deposits immediately. Good luck! The wait is almost over.
To all those having trouble reaching a human at the IRS. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/wMf29SmRU-I
I received a 4464C letter last month and was initially worried, but it turned out to be routine verification. The IRS just needed to confirm some information from my W-2s and 1099s. I responded within the 30-day timeframe they gave me, and my refund was processed about 3 weeks later. Don't panic if you get one - just make sure to respond promptly with the requested documentation. You can also check your account transcript online at irs.gov to see any updates on your case status.
Unpopular opinion: maybe we should all just adjust our withholdings so we don't get big refunds? Then we wouldn't have to deal with this stress every year. Just a thought š¤
easier said than done my friend. some of us rely on that refund to catch up on bills or make big purchases. not everyone can just adjust their budget on a whim
I'm in the same boat - filed in early March and still waiting! One thing that helped me was setting up IRS account online at irs.gov. You can see more detailed info about your return status there than just the basic "Where's My Refund" tool. Also, if you have any dependents or claimed certain credits, those can add processing time. The IRS website says they're still working through a backlog, so unfortunately we just have to be patient. But definitely keep checking every few days - sometimes the status updates suddenly!

Pro tip: Take a picture of your envelope with the address written exactly as the IRS provides it BEFORE you send it. Also take pics of everything inside. I've had the IRS lose my documents multiple times, and having proof of exactly what I sent and how I addressed it saved me from penalties.

I went through this exact same frustration last year! That address format is so confusing when you're used to regular street addresses. What worked for me was going directly to the post office counter with my 1040X in a regular envelope with that exact address written on it. The postal worker didn't even blink - they see these IRS addresses all the time. I paid for certified mail with return receipt requested (about $8 total) and got my tracking number. One thing I wish I'd known earlier: you can actually call your local post office and ask them to confirm the address format before you go. They're familiar with these government routing addresses and can put your mind at ease. The zip code 73301-0052 is specifically for IRS amended returns, so USPS knows exactly where it goes even without a street address. Don't stress too much about the weird format - it's designed that way on purpose for their processing system. Just write it exactly as shown and you'll be fine!
