Filed through TurboTax on 01/29, accepted 01/31. I’m a PATHer and up until just a bit ago I had all code except 846. Now 846 is showing on transcript with DDD 03/09. I know the date is just about irrelevant and I always get my deposit up to 2 weeks earlier than the listed date, but I was wondering if SBTG always updates with “FUNDED” before you see the money in your account. Choose 5 days early and expected to deposit into my Credit Karma account.

Got some news, I saw that SB has received the money finally because they already credit my advanced as paid and other fees. So is being able to access our info earlier was just a pre-note that money is coming. Now it’s actually there

Same. But I will say, (and I wish I could attach a screenshot on this site), but if you go to IGMR’s FB page and read through their most recent post, you’ll see a few posts stating that they were also told the 23rd by SB, but it surprised them by coming early! I saw the first one about 50 comments down, FYI. lol. Went scrolling on my lunch break. Okay, back to the grid. Good luck and many blessings!

So, maybe it’s just a CK thing? I don’t even know at this point. I’ve seen people on FB saying that SBTPG released the $$ the same day as they received 846, but then I’ve seen some saying that their refund was being held until the 23rd (fees or no fees, advance or no advance—doesn’t seem to matter). I don’t even have my 846 yet, so now I’m concerned I may be waiting until the 25th. 😠

I thought I posted this here earlier, but I guess it didn’t go through. I saw the post below on the live feed.
“I got my 846 yesterday and received my deposit around 9:00 last night. I filed with JH, had fees and advance taken out through SBTPG, and the deposit hit on my Serve card last night. Definitely didn’t expect it the same day as my 846 since SBTPG is notoriously slow, but was pleasantly surprised this year 😊”

@willbeas
I use to work for a bank and they can hold funds until the date on the check. But as far as SBTPG holding the funds until the 23rd should be illegal. But the representative at SBTPG Kevin, agent no. 527 indeed told me they have already received my federal refund and it’s processing and they will send to my bank on 2/23. -

They release funds soon as they receive , they probably got a pre-note from the IRS telling them when the deposit will be sent! No bank purposely hold funds !! That’s illegal

When I login to SBTPG it shows they have not yet received my tax return. On WMR it says my ddd is 2/23.
I just called SBTPG and the representative said that they have received my refund and it’s processing and they will send it on 2/23. That’s crazy how they can hold your refund like that. It would be a nice surprise if they released it early.

I just saw a post in the live feed from someone who said they called SBTPG, and they said they were holding her refund until Monday. 😤 But I’ve also seen a lot of people say they got in the same day or the next day after the 846. It may be something to do with the amount, etc. Grrrrr!

@skiqueen There are absolutely early deposits with SBTPG. Yes, they’ve had issues in the past with holding money (I’ve been through it!!), but I’ve not seen anything but good stuff this year. People have received their deposits the same day as receiving the 846, with it going through SBTPG. I will say that it may depend on your bank as well. I’m also using CK, so I’d love to know if you receive yours today. :)

Same timeline with 846 code I see Info at SB but it’s unfunded I say give it to tomorrow.

From previous years of being on here and experiences myself from previous years, I’ll say yes SBTPG always will update before anyone started to see anything deposited ! I haven’t seen one year that it’s been different! Always the same, if your money goes through them there is no early deposits!

I’ve seen people say the website isn’t always up to date and that they should call 1-877-908-7228 for more up-to-date information.
