key tax return and refund dates
When can you file your taxes?
You can submit your tax return before the IRS begins processing as early as the first week of the year with many tax preparation providers. You don’t need to wait until the IRS begins accepting tax returns but you must have the proper forms and paperwork. Some forms are not available until mid January. Tax returns filed before the IRS officially opens sit in a āqueueā and are held until the IRS officially begins accepting tax returns.
Your tax return may be selected in a test batch. If you e-file early and it sits in queue, your return may be sent to the IRS early. This can result in early direct deposits depending on the payment provider you select. Our cycle chart will update with key dates including test batch dates.
When does the IRS accept tax returns?
The IRS usually opens around the third week of January each year. They announce the opening date early in January.
The IRS will begin accepting tax returns in 2025 on January 27th.
When is the IRS test batch?
If you file your tax return early, it may be sent to the IRS in a test batch before the IRS has officially opened for the year. It is usually a week before the date the IRS begins accepting tax returns. This has resulted in refunds in the past that can be posted by direct deposit as early as the day after tax season opens.
When will I get my tax refund?
Early filers whose returns are accepted in a test batch can anticipate a tax refund as early as the day after the IRS opens the January filing season if your return was in the test batch. The day that the IRS deposits refunds varies for regular returns but we notice trends based on the method you chose to file and select to direct deposit. You can use our tax refund calendar or refund cycle chart to help find out when you will get your tax refund.
Where is the IRS refund cycle chart?
The official tax refund cycle chart published by the IRS has been eliminated and replaced with IRS FAQ. Refund cycle charts are now published by independent websites and vary slightly.
A good reference to use is the When To Expect My Refund cycle chart that is published early each year by the College Investor.

Hello there!
Anyone with Credit Karma received there refund? DDD-2/23. Fees taken out
@Sweetz: thank you so much
@Sarah24: I didn’t update either…IRS say I owe them for 2019 tax year..so you know what? F em..I’m not going to stress myself out this year about these damn taxes..they’re going to take it even if I do update in the next few weeks…I’m still going to stay positive I’m still going to make money, I’m still going to Disneyland in a two months. It is what it is
@Michael: yeah I know that part, sucks but my transcripts have changed in other parts. Like giving a March 3rd date for processing and some other things so I’m just curious if that mean they are moving it along or will it take till April like it initially said. Or hell do any of these dates mean anything lmao. Just want this to be done is all and scratching for any clue I can get out of it.
Question I had an offset and they took my state and some of federal is that possible if my state covered what I owed Iām confused š so they took 700 more than expected
@I GOT MY REFFFUUND: got my DDD of 2/23 today via transcript, do you have a general idea perhaps as to when republic bank will receive it?
People who had dd for 2/22 and had fees taken out by sbptg have you all receive your dd. If memory serves me this is the first republic bank is releasing funds early like this. Maybe sbptg would do the same. Please respond.
@moe the 150 code I have 0.00
Path lifted! 2/23 date ddd
@Curious Fella: 570 is a hold code

@Ashley: You’ll have to contact them to ask who they used.

They do a lot of e-collecting for filing fees.
@Trinitydestany1: go to republic taxpayer put in ur information like you would on wmr
@Sweetz: how do you find out if republic has it?
Hello Guy I received my deposit not even knowing it came early this morning just checked my Netspend account..Even though my status on wmr still only sits at accepted..(one bar)I filed Jan 30th accepted Jan 31st
@Tigerlili_1: M sharp tax pro
Just an fyi, refund posted to my account, prepaid card. Wmr never updated. Didnāt check transcripts. Good luck!š
@Tigerlili_1: I think my preparer goes through EPS Financial.
For those paying fees from their refund who filed through Jackson Hewitt and used their SERVE card (can not speak on any other card!) there is a possibility of early deposits as several others yesterday with DDD 2/22/23 did receive deposits yesterday but if you used turbo tax and are going through SBTPG for fees or advance it will not even be acknowledged in their system til 2/22/23 for those that are still asking.
@Tab: fingers crossed you get yours today.
@MOE: I have up above a “processing date 03-06-2023”
Then the 570 code where it states “additional account action pending” and a date of 03-06-2023 and followed by the amount of 0.00. I’m wondering if that means I’ll be processed on 3/6? Does yours have a date there with the 570?
Liberty tax …Using the Deep blue card…anyone has have a deposit?
