A grapevine for taxpayers, by taxpayers.
Ask all of your tax refund questions.
The most frequently asked question we have is when will the IRS WMR update and what day are tax refund deposits. Use our calendar to find out what day you can expect to receive your tax refund.
Now! When you submit your return before the IRS begins processing, it will sit in a “queue” and be held until the date that the IRS will officially accept tax returns. If you e-file early and it sits in queue, your return may be sent to the IRS early in a test batch. This has resulted in early direct deposits in the past, but also major glitches because they are tests after all.
The IRS begins begins accepting tax returns this year on January 23, 2023.
2023 Refund Cycle Chart
The most recent tax refund cycle charts have already been published. The official IRS tax refund cycle chart has been eliminated and replaced with IRS FAQs. The IRS says the best way to check the status of your refund is using the Where‘s My Refund tool. However, various websites with refund calendars for the 2023 tax season (2022 tax year) have been updated with 2023 direct deposit and check mailing dates.
IRS Refund Schedule Charts typically show that early filers whose returns are accepted before the end of January can anticipate a tax refund direct deposit as early as the first week of February. The day that IRS deposits refunds varies but we notice trends that help you determine the time and days WMR updates and when your tax return is processed. This is an explanation and FAQ about when the IRS updates, WMR and Transcripts.
The refund calendar by the College Investor is a good reference which has been updated for 2023 here: When To Expect My Tax Refund.
Transcripts are showing a little movement

@Sheila_33: oh no what I mean the update from last year. Not the current one. Sorry for the confusion.
Report comment
@Sheila_33: Thanks, transcript is blank.
Report comment
@RhansTax: Thanks for sharing, it definitely helps us keep track of the updates. Congratulations!

On my notes: Daily update mine with 846 code @ 10pm Pacific the day that supposedly update. Just so you know if someone here waiting for transcript update.
Report comment
@Tab: Some of the early batch weekly acceptances are seeing some movement, but its really nothing special. Since you were accepted yesterday, it’s very possible you could see some movement on Friday.
Report comment
@Monee: I personally like being the problem child weekly lol. My daughter, on the other hand, does not.
Report comment
@Sheila_33: mine is like that too. Ugh. We almost made it into daily this year. Lol
Report comment
Accepted yesterday afternoon .
Transcripts are all NA. I was a weekly last year so I assume I’m still a weekly and it just hasn’t updated and won’t until Friday.
Is that correct?
Report comment
Filed at 2am this morning… federal return was just accepted. I have two dependents . I am also a PATHer….again
Report comment
Filed yesterday afternoon and its still pending/transmitted on TT and no info on WMR. I know I have at least a month wait but it would be nice for it to get accepted!
Report comment
This can help explain the differences and processing times for daily and weekly processing.

My first check in for the tax season.
Hi everyone!
Report comment
@Monee: Hers is showing n/a for the top right account and 0’s for the Feb. 13th, 2023 as of date for the lower left account transcript. My assumption is that its showing its received and perhaps waiting to be populated on Friday since there’s not a cycle code.
Report comment
MY MA return was accepted yesterday a few hours after filing it. Now MA website updated to say RECEIVED in Green.
Report comment
@Monee:Lol. Wouldn’t it be nice if you became a daily? I’ll check my daughters. She’s a weekly too and accepted in the test batch.
Report comment
@Jenny: What is your cycle code?
Report comment
Filed last night with TT got accepted this morning
Report comment
Woke up today just my account transcript is up but says as of feb 13th. I’m a weekly though 😊 good morning y’all!
Report comment
@Sheila_33: I have always been weekly. Maybe the system realized it was processing the wrong person.
Report comment
And don’t be alarmed if the wage transcript doesn’t fill out. Sometimes those don’t populate until they’re reconciled with what Social security updates.

Why is my return still pending?
SOLVED•by TurboTax•695•Updated 1 week ago
We noticed something in your tax return that could have caused it to be rejected. We are doing an extra review to assess the reason it was flagged, resolve it for you, or identify what you need to do to ensure everything is accurate and your return is accepted.
What does it mean when my return is pending?
Pending means that we have your tax return but it has not yet been filed and accepted. While we are doing this extra review, your return will show as pending.
You should receive an email from us within 48 hours confirming that your return has been filed, or with instructions for any additional steps that need to be taken.
Report comment
@Monee: Check back in a little while. Its possible it’s just not finished filling in yet.
Report comment
@Pet2022: Most likely not finished populating yet. Transcripts populate in stages so you might want to check later this morning.
Report comment
I have a 2022 account transcript but the amounts are all 0.00 and it says no return filed. Is that normal?
Report comment
My account transcript is available with daily cycle code..I’m a panther though so no refund code…return script isn’t available, should it be??

Good morning everyone, I hope this morning start off with updated transcripts, and acceptance.

everyone, having your child age out of your home sucks. emotionally for one, and for taxes. my 3-5k returns are a puny $698. that’s state and federal combined. she is only 18, and my income was 34K. Ill for sure be paying in next year (Cries in silence) lol.

@Tbatch: transfer to another account. I transferred to my Wells Fargo before receiving my card
Report comment
@Tbatch: you can use the digital/virtual card on your spend account and connect it to your cash app or apple pay it should show your routing and account numbers and virtual card numbers

Is there a way to withdraw from credit karma spend account without receiving the actual card first?
Report comment
@Firsttimer898: I would think so because that 19 year old is now a adult dependent since she or he is a full- time student don’t forget to get the school tax credit for them especially if he or she’s in college

I have a 19 year old full-time student who I am claiming as a dependant. Is her deduction the same amount as my 13 and 11 year old?

Good luck, everyone I hope everything works out for you.

@Brianne: Yeah…I’m not worried about it. It will update when it updates.
Report comment
Weeklies only have Wednesday direct deposit dates, unless there’s a holiday that bumps you to Thursday.
Report comment
@Tommy D.: If the direct deposit date on the Wmr was for that Friday, then you were a daily.
Report comment
I use Go2bank an NHB and last year I got my refund on a Friday no credits. So does anyone know if that makes me a daily or weekly?

@loucy29: it did, WMR is at 1 bar

Anyone else not able to log into hrblock app

@JilDillpickle: hi did yours show accepted on wmr
Report comment
Yeah! Just got accepted and my advance hit! It’s been “pending” since noon.
Report comment
@Tigerlili_1: thats weird. dont see that too often. at this point, i would just be happy getting the one bar & waiting on the advance. at least i know the advance will eventually come but not even getting accepted yet when my return has been sitting for weeks, its driving me crazy.
Report comment
@Brianne: Me either! Just throwing my hands in the air!
Report comment
My Turbo Tax still hasn’t updated but I got my advance just now
Report comment
@MSRazorbackPhD: thanks! i see it now-i had to click on efile details. mine says received by irs on 01/20 but shows transmitted today & still not accepted. i wish i would have just waited to file because i was really trying to get in the test batch & that didnt happen & now its not looking good on opening day either. i have never had problems any other year.

for the ones that havent been accepted with tt but it says transmitted today-where are you seeing the time that it was transmitted? the app or website doesnt show me a time for today, it only shows the time when i originally filed it.

@Yandyy: Yes. Daily also.

@Sharon. O: Yes. Test batch got accepted on the 17th. Not on PATH only 1099R.
Report comment
I just filed this morning around 730 est through turbo tax. Usually I get a notification from them saying it was accepted, but I haven’t. I just checked IRS.GOV and it’s on the first bar and says they have received it and it’s being processed. I’m a daily I believe and I have EITC. So, I’m on PATH, but last year I could see my Transcripts fully filled out w/o 846 code online a week before the lift. Curious to see how this year will work itself out.
Report comment
@Emily: yes I did get the email from turbo tax, and on where’s my refund it already had one bar before I was accepted.
Report comment
@Doughboy: congrats. Hopefully the rest of us early TT filers will follow suit quickly behind.
Report comment
Accepted. Filed 1/22
Report comment
@Doughboy: did you get the email from Turbo and was WMR showing accepted already
Report comment
Just got accepted 2 minutes ago… Just hang in there it’s coming
Report comment
@Brianne: LMK if you get some GREAT news…I’ll do the same!
Report comment
@Sheila_33: Thanks so much. I’ve been a weekly forever so I’m pretty sure I will be again. It would be a great surprise but I’m going with weekly most likely
Report comment
@Sharon.O: If you stay a weekly this year, you’ll most likely process Thursday and update Friday on transcripts and a direct deposit date on Wmr Saturday. But, if you have eitc and/or actc path credits, you won’t see a refund until the freeze lifts Feb 15th, and your messaging Saturday morning will most likely be the path credit freeze message.
If you happen to change to daily, you might be processing today, update tomorrow on transcripts and have a Ddd on Wmr Wednesday. That’s as long as you don’t have the path credits.
Report comment
@MelloDello53: Were you in a test batch. I’m a weekly and this is the first time in a test batch do I was wondering is there a chance of an earlier refund then
Report comment
@refundfriend: congrats! im still waiting to be accepted. filed with tt weeks ago. have a feeling those of us that filed weeks ago are hung up somewhere because everyone else seems to be getting accepted.
Report comment
@Dewy: ive already filed. filed through tt on the 6th but still waiting to get accepted
Report comment
@Brianne: Not sure but I believe they accept at all times. If you have it ready to file might as well do so.. As far as transcripts…… refunds etc.. those are on a strict schedule but acceptance seems to be any time…
