Have you tried checking your tax transcript? It often shows your DDD before WMR updates. Did you file with any credits or deductions? Are you seeing any particular codes on WMR? What filing method did you use?

I was in this exact situation in February. Called the Taxpayer Advocate Service after trying the regular IRS number 9 times with no luck. They confirmed my return was approved and gave me my direct deposit date. Got my money 3 days later. The key was mentioning I had a financial hardship with my business expenses coming due. They prioritized my call because of the business impact. My refund was $4,800 and it saved my inventory order deadline.

The transcript system has been super glitchy this year. I couldn't view mine for 3 weeks after filing, then suddenly it appeared with a DDD. The WMR tool didn't update until after my refund was actually deposited lol.

When I was stuck in this situation last month, I got tired of waiting and tried calling the IRS. Spent hours on hold and kept getting disconnected. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get through to an agent in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was just in normal processing with no issues, and gave me my DDD which wasn't showing up anywhere else yet. Totally worth it to stop the anxiety of wondering what was happening.

Ah, the annual PATH Act waiting game! 🙄 Been there, done that, got the delayed refund t-shirt. Last year I was in exactly your position - filed January 23rd, got the PATH Act hold, and was checking WMR obsessively like it was my ex's social media. Finally got my refund on February 27th without any warning or updates beforehand. The system just went from "still processing" to "refund sent" overnight. The IRS works in mysterious ways, lol.

I'M SO FRUSTRATED WITH THIS TOO!! I need this money ASAP for medical bills and every day matters! Here's exactly what happened with my PATH Act return last year (I filed Jan 19): - Nothing on WMR until Feb 16 - Transcript became available Feb 17 with code 570 (hold) - Code 971 appeared Feb 20 (notice issued) - Code 846 appeared Feb 24 (refund issued) - Money in my account Feb 28 Total wait was 40 days from acceptance to deposit. The PATH Act is absolutely infuriating when you're waiting on important money!

I had this same frustrating experience last year when I first moved to the US. SBTPG's system is notoriously unreliable during peak season. After trying everything, I finally found that using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) helped me understand what was actually happening. It was able to analyze my tax transcript and show me exactly where my refund was in the process, including when SBTPG received it and when it was scheduled for deposit. This gave me way more information than either TurboTax or SBTPG's customer service. It helped me confirm that despite SBTPG's website showing nothing, my refund was actually being processed correctly.

Have you tried contacting TurboTax directly about this instead of SBTPG? Sometimes TurboTax can see information about your refund that isn't showing up on SBTPG's system yet. Also, did you check if your bank account information is correct in your TurboTax account? Sometimes the issue is that SBTPG has your information but there's a mismatch with what you're entering on their website.

Anyone seeing these patterns this year? • Filed January with credits • Accepted immediately • No WMR updates for 30+ days • Transcript shows processing date but no refund date • Cycle code ends in 05 Trying to figure out if there's a pattern to the delays.

Back in 2022, I had a similar situation with MFJ and credits. Filed January 29th, no updates until March 8th. Last year was better - filed January 30th and received refund February 27th. This year I filed February 3rd and already received my refund on March 1st. The pattern I've noticed is that later January/early February filers often process faster than early January filers with credits. The system seems to work in batches rather than strictly first-come-first-served.
