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.
@Mike: My children are working full time college students. FASA counts them as dependent students. Which allows me to claim them and I have every year of their life.

Good morning everyone, my transcript updated sometime overnight. Everything’s filled in except 846 (pather). Cycle code is 03 and as off date is 2/13.
Report comment
Las year I got my refund on a Friday(2/18) and WMR still had me at one bar, after getting my refund i never went back to WMR to see when the DDD was but I’m hoping it happens again this year. Filed and accepted on 1/17 this year w/no credits, hoping I’m in the 1/27 group tho still at one bar. I use an NHB(Go2Bank formally Greendot). Anyone else with Greendot get a DDD from WMR already?
Report comment
@Jenny: That’s certainly different but who knows with these computer systems, lol. The “as of” date is the time frame the system sets to complete an action by. If you’re a pather, that date is not going to change until the path freeze releases that return on Feb. 15th, and it can cycle through and post the refund date.

@Mom2inOhio: I hope that works out for you because usually you can’t claim somebody as a dependent if they File the taxes separately I did the same this year for my son but I claimed them and I’m just gonna throw him some money

Congrats to the 2 bar 1/27 crew!

Hello again everybody! Just to keep y’all up to date, I woke up this morning and now I’m on the path act. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and I receive my refund early on my chime. Has anybody on path act received their refund earlier on chime? 🙏🏾

@Brittany Amador: @Gators352:
Thanks! I’ve claimed the EIC and child tax credit every year for the past 14 years and I’ve never had to wait for any kind of Path act. The last two years I’ve gotten my refund on February 3rd and February 8th. So hopefully I get it early again since where’s my refund doesn’t show a path message.
Report comment
My son filed 1/18 via HR BLOCK online was accepted 1/19 in a test batch and just got his DDD for 1/27. He is single and still my dependent. Hopefully mine goes just as fast in February.
Report comment
If you have path credits the “as of date” should be either February 13th … 14th or 15th (PATH RELEASE) .. as of dates usually let the system know when to update a return . So any path credits the return will just be held until 2/14 .. 2/15 like last year . I got the deposit on 2/18 a Friday morning paid fees up front last year early card
Report comment
@William Turner: check again in a little while. It should show a ddd if you aren’t on the path. Some people are showing a ddd of 1/30 now on their transcripts
Report comment
@William Turner: as of date is a date that the system generates every 7 days nothing to do with your refund being deposited
Report comment
So I just checked and I can now view my account and return transcript for 2022. It doesn’t have an 846 code on it yet, but it does show all of my credits as well as a 03 which means I’m a daily. The as of date shows February 13th, does anybody know what that means? Thanks!
Report comment
@Russ1000: there will no longer be a N/A next to your 2022 account and return. On your account ranscripts there is a 6 digit number ending in 1,2,3,4,5 1-4 is daily 5 is weekly

And how can I tell if I’m weekly or daily. This is the first time I’ve ever gotten access to my transcripts.

@vhasx3: I didn’t get mine yet but was able to piece it together from my marketplace bills and looking at last year’s forms…. It arrived on the marketplace last year in digital form on Jan 28….
Report comment
@Jenny: I think that response date just means the day you requested the transcript. It shows todays date cause you requested the transcript today.
Report comment
@ConfusedMomx4: Not sure, but if y’all had the advance last year, and that acct is closed! Per TT you won’t qualify, assuming y’all were MFJ and both consented. However, you can try and see if you prequalify. Just remember, the final decision isn’t made until after your taxes are accepted!

@2blessed: Chime card oh yes you will get it early like 5 day’s early I use chime last tax season

@Kisharai: do you have ACA insurance? I have Medicaid insurance…which isn’t the same I believe so I don’t have that form. I’m hoping it was just an error. I’m so bummed.
Report comment
@jt: That is the day you posted to the master file and processed. 04 week of the Irs tax year, 02 day of the Irs tax week, which was yesterday. This link can help explain the cycle code in more detail along with other codes and dates on your transcript.

@Jenny: The response/request date is the day you viewed your transcripts, which is today. Are you sure the “as of” date is Feb. 15th? As of dates are only on Mondays. A few have seen “as of” dates of Feb. 13th but the transcript is only showing 0’s.

Hello everyone. Wmr 1 st bar tax topic 152. I used a local preparation instead of online software this year. Does that mean my advance was denied. I filed on Friday and I believe I was accepted on Monday. But nothing from her about my advance being approved. Does it take this long to find out?

@kathyarzola: I believe it’s for tax year 2023 so we wouldn’t actually benefit from the increases until 2024 tax filing season.

@Brianne: I filed on Sunday, then Monday it showed as transmitted and recieved by IRS same day at 11:45 am. So 48 hours will be tomorrow at 11:45. BUT the lady I spoke to this afternoon told me they didn’t get sent until today so my 48 hours would be Thursday around noon. So someone doesn’t know what’s going on with my taxes…
