This is a reminder that everyone’s situation when it comes to filing taxes and receiving refunds is different.
Yesterday, people started receiving their refunds in their accounts without any update or date showing on the IRS website. Refunds were hitting based on different programs and financial institutions, but they definitely started coming through.
No warning.
No “Where’s My Refund” change.
The money just started popping up in accounts.
This is exactly why stalking Where’s My Refund and transcripts all day does not change anything most of the time. Your refund will come when God and the IRS are ready for you to receive it.
Stay patient. Stay calm. Stay encouraged.
Happy Funding Week for Taxpayers and Tax Pros!
