Is anyone still waiting for the deposit in their emerald card??? Filed taxes on 02/05/2018, and have not received anything yet!! Still saying processing

Yes, rtbartonie I was told the same exact thing. by tax prep. I asked which way was fastest because I have bank, and netspend and amex. but he said emerald was fastest route. well now after reading everything I feel really angry that I was lied to sfter all the money we all paid to have early but most of all to get helped and get true answet’s. idk I’m waiting my ddd was 28th. last year I had by now in my bank account. ugh

H and R block does an electronic file that has all the info on it. They basically put a lean on your taxes for the agreed amount. When the irs releases your funds on your ddd date your goes to you. Theirs go to them. They don’t receive all of it. Why do you think when you file you can have your money put in up to 3 dif accounts. There fees go to their bank. The remaining refund goes to your same process. Just a diff account holder. H and r.

The Bluebird card is the way to go. Not just for tax refunds, but any direct deposit be it from your job or social security. My direct deposit date on where’s my refund was 2/22/18 and my money showered up late on 2/16/18 :). I have a family member who gets her social security direct deposit on Bluebird 6 days early each and every month. Bluebird is thru American Express. Can order one for free online, or pick one up at Walmart for $5. I”ve always got my deposits early with them and they don’t charge you any fees to use your card like NetSpend & others do. Bluebird is free to load at Walmart & direct deposit is free. Bluebird doesn’t charge an ATM fee. Some banks do tho, so be sure to use an ATM without a surcharge like at Weigel’s.
Also, I never pay any shady companies like HnR block or anyone else. The truth is that the vast majority of those people don’t know a thing more about taxes then anyone else does. I always file free thru Taxslayer. I like them because I can view my actual tax forms. There’s plenty of other free file companies like turbo tax and even HnR Block. On iirs.gov website is a list of all the free file companies. Doesn’t matter which one you use. Companies like HnR Block and Liberty just take advantage of the fact that people are so broke that they’ll agree to high fees, just to get $100 today.. Honestly I don’t think these companies should be allowed to charge like they do. There should be laws limiting how much they can take. They use the same exact software that you can use for yourself free of charge. If you make a lot of money, there may be a small fee, but it’s very small, like less than $20.

I have user HR block for many many years and moving forward will not be a returning customer. I will also be making it very clear to everyone that Hr block is full of false advertising and lies. I can’t believe I paid $400+ to do my taxes through you. Grrr very unfortunate that your words used to be honorable.

you people be bugging out for no reason , like cut it out u bug out to see a deposit date they tell u the 22nd and you guys are mad u have to most likely wait till thursday like come on now get a grip. u act like its weeks went by and u havent recieved ur money when it was due , u cannot be sitting around spending tax money before u get it , u never know if u will be audit or have to id verify so thats a no no . and emerald card do not hold the funds irs does and when they take the hold off emerald send its to ur account ive been using them for 5 years now and always got my money the day before or on the ddd irs said , alot of people who got money upfront was because the bank they card come froms up front the money after they see its approved . like come on now we all need money be have some patients
-
I hav never used the hr block card and thank to all the info on here i wont ever be! Lmao but i can say this much. I use walmart moneycard who goes through green dot. They dont hold funds but every year when i get my redund they fight me having access bc they say its an irregular deposit. No i havent gotten my dd. My ddd is the 22.
-
The reason you have not received your refund yet for MOST people. IRS sends the DD to HRblock so they can take out the fee’s and what not. Then HRBlock bank has to send the remaining balance to your bank/ Card. They will hold it right up to your DDD. They do this so they can get interested off of that money before they deposit it. Banks have to make money too.
-
Dont use HRB Have used for tax return and work direct deposit for last 6 years.My work direct deposit used to come a few days early now comes on exact day it is scheduled.People I work with still get theirs early by other cards. Just talked to three people at work who file same day and after me with DD of 22nd like me.They all have their money and all used other cards not HRB. Called HRB woman new nothing spewed about has to be 21 days from filing and Path line.I explained already had DDD she didnt know what I was talking about.Did taxes in HRB office this year for advance they charged 250$ for one w2 and one dependent. Never again changing direct deposit also.
-
Emerald card wont load until the scheduled DDD. They don’t front the funds like other prepaid cards.
-
thats not true dont listen to that u can always call the number and talk to a rep they will even tell u there’s no wait once they receive it they disburse it trust me every year and if u u can even go to they website hr block bank of internet thats the bank they use
-
@9966 so what about that 3-5 day wait they keep chirping about
-
relax people i have used hrb for years and always got my money the day of or a day before also they dont hold funds whenever irs release them the nak load them onto ur card within an hour . it just depends when the irs let the hold off your account .. heres a link from the bofl bank
The Bank does not hold funds from Tax Returns. We invite you to determine the date your tax refund will be delivered by checking the status of your return online at: https://www.irs.gov/Refunds.
You can contact an H&R Block agent that would be happy to help you identify the date you will receive your Tax Return at (800) HRBLOCK or (800) 472-5625

how do you check to see if HRB have a deposit?
-
Since 2013 I have used EZTAXRETURN.COM ..But since the tax act junk I have to count on Santa Barbara bank..its ridiculous. Gonna make some changes next year. We cannot afford to wait AND WAIT for our money like this,its a hardship.
-
Meant that for Aaron lol..my bad..
-
rtbartonie…and thats why I stopped using HRB back in 2012 and wouldnt even recommend them to my enemy. They dont work to get you the most refund back in the first place…either ignorant or something..maybe they just want their fees. What happened to you happened to US twice with them. At one time they were goo,but over the years the banks have given them their marching orders and control everything they can do with refunds. They are greasing each others palms while the tax payer gets whats left over when they decide to give it to you. They are actually trained this way. So what you ran into is the norm now. Next year I’m going to use netspend and going to pay my fees up front to avoid Santa Barb. bank altogether.

Here’s my convo with HRB
Me:
My tax transcript just updated to refund issued 2/22. I habe a refund transfer with direct deposit. Usually I get my return before the date. Will that happen with the RT?HRB
Aaron, thanks for reaching out to us. It depends on when the IRS actually release the funds. Once the IRS release the funds, they send it to us. We take out any fee’s owed then 3-5 days to post to your account. Thanks. -TBMe:
So the fees where just deducted from my state return which I’ll get Tuesday. Does that mean the federal comes direct now or does it still come to you first?HRB
Aaron, the Federal refund will still come to us. If no fee’s need to be deducted it will post to your account in 3-5 days. Thanks. -TBMe:
I’m just a little concerned where the extra time comes in since my state was released immediately and BofI says the don’t hold refunds. Sorry to be a pest. Just trying to get a more definitive answer.HRB
Aaron, That’s the instructions we received from the bank. We work closely with the bank. I apologize you are getting conflicting information.The 3-5 days delay was just put into effect this year. Thanks. -TBMe:That’s not cool, and not what the tax pro said when my taxes were done.
Mind you I’ve gotten response since. Shady practices in my opinion.

Yeah I will never use HRB again. I was told by the agent on Twitter that the 3 to 5 day hold is a new policy this year. Funny it was never mentioned when I had my taxes done. I was told I’d have my return by the third week of February. Total bullsh*t.
-
-
Apparabtky 3-5 days to take their funds out.. In office i was under the impression it was released at the same time. H and r are straught up liars.
-
I’m hoping for good news. Why would it take 3 to 5 days after they receive it?? That scares me
-
@Amy My state was released this morning according to the tax office and when I talked to my bank they said I have a pending deposit for 2/20 which makes sense because of the holiday. I talked to HR Block on Twitter and they said it takes 3 to 5 days after they receive it but it’s only being delayed one day.
-
@aaron how long did you wait for the state? The day of the actual date or early at all?
-
@rtbartonie No I’ve never used them before. I got the error of not being able to efile with TurboTax so I bit the bullet and went with hr block. I’ve always gotten my DD before the DDD date with TT. They’re killing me with the hold.

-
HR Block took the fees out of my state for the refund transfer so now I’m wondering if my federal will come direct.
-
Filed 1/29. Accepted 1/29. DDD 2/22..
I have wells Fargo bank. Not showing anything pending. Wish I used bluebird this year . Anyone use wells Fargo? -
Oh and I forgot to add. Ive always gotten it the day of, or the day before. to my HR block card. I have never got it early. your IRS DD gets sent to their bank. They take the fee’s out. Then they release it close to your DDD
-
Yeah I stopped using HR block emerald card and any of their paid services. I only use the HR block Free service. They try to upsale you but you don’t need any of that crap. Then they try to charge you for putting the money on the emerald card. Thats just pure BS. This year I did the Free service and set up DD to my bank. no sense in giving my money away to someone else. Will let you know if I get it before my DDD of 2/22
-
I just updated to DDD 2/22, I guarantee it’s there before then.
-
This is the first year of me using the Emerald Card and possibly the last depending on how this goes.
Nothing pending yet.
If fees are taken out does BofI operate on weekends or holiday?—

EIC
WMR-received to path message to my bars disappearing to the processing message yesterdayCheck your bank, credit union, or cards for direct deposit dates.
After reading the comments I truly thought something was wrong with my taxes because I got the processing message with no bars. I checked last night my online account from my credit union
Yes a direct deposit from the IRS for date of 2/22/18
-
By gosh Ive used HRB for 8 years, Ive never had to wait the 21 days and ALWAYS got my money before the DD when I got one. Why argue ? Sorry you’re unlucky.
-
@tax time stud In my experience funds are released early every year. The dates on transcripts are never accurate.
For instance; this year my processing date was 2/19.. I’m weekly 0505. I processed yesterday.
Last year my processing date was 2/27 0605.. My dd date was 2/23. Got my return last year on the 19th.
Transcript dates are rough estimates. Once 846 hits they send your money.
IRS has no provisional code to hold a refund after code 864 goes on your master file..
-
You seriously going to argue with people, maybe it doesn’t for u but you have NO idea what happens with others, don’t be ill because you need your $$ to get caught up on bills and get drunk.
-
no it never comes early
-
I’ve always got mine early, and before the wmr ever updates.
-
they dont release funds early it will be on the scheduled DDD
-
-
On HRB app on my phone, and on the Emerald card part of it where I see my transactions etc, it has a block that says direct deposit. I clicked on it.
-
-
Where do you see pending robin?
-
I used HRB and got Emerald Card, Im showing a DD pending but it doesn’t show a date.
-
I’ve had h&r for a few years and I’ve gotten dd on the day of.

Just spoke with h and r block via Twitter, they told me those with refundtransfers will not recieve money until 2-3 days after funds are issued unfortunately. Never again will i use h and r. Went simply for the advance. Normally I use a credit union…would have had money by now
