Why does refund get delayed?

Did anyone who had their tax refund delayed to feb 24 get an earlier direct deposit date?

  • My tax refund dd was pushed to feb 24 last week and I wanted to know if anyone one elses date was changed that far. Also, if it was did they say anything about getting it sooner. That is a long wait. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    I got pushed from 2/3 to 2/24 and called the IRS today to find out why such a big push back. Couldn't give me any details but I had been pushed to the review department. A lot of people are having rough times and some people are trying to get what they can how they can so they are paying close attention to the credits people are filing for. Unfortunately as in many situations, some times the honest people get stuck suffering/punished for the not so honest people. Know that just because my date was pushed for that reason it does not mean that that is why your date was pushed. Call the IRS, you'll have to spend a little bit of time on hold but if it makes you feel better then it will be worth it.Some times it's the not knowing that drives us insane.

If you got the message that states you should receive your refund by 2/24, it really means that it will be direct deposited 20th. Deposits only come on Fridays. Checkback on Wednesday, because that's when the IRS updates the system. At that point, you will get the message"Your return is scheduled to be deposited on....." There could have been changes to your return and that could be what pushed it up. Hope this helps!

nope i was asking the same question because I did not know what was going on, I got my state refund already and now they keep changing my federal refund because I had all the same dates as you did, so in a way it's comforting to know that it's not just me, because I was kind of nervous at first.

There are so many questions regarding the delayed refunds I hardly know where to post! I e-filed on Jan.16 and had my state refund the middle of the following week. The IRS first gave me a date of Jan.30, then it changed to Feb.10, and the "where's my refund" site now says Feb.24. Well, surprise, surprise!!! The deposit is in my account TODAY!!! Gee, and I thought they only did direct deposits on Fridays! I hope all the other folks whose refunds have been delayed are happily surprised today.
