RefundPulse

RefundPulse is a mobile + web app that gives taxpayers a clearer, more actionable view of their tax refund timeline than the standard “Where’s My Refund” check. Users connect their IRS account (or manually enter key filing details) and the app tracks status changes, expected processing windows, and common delay triggers (ID verification, missing forms, offsets, mail checks). It sends smart alerts when something actually changes and provides a plain-English checklist of what to do next, including phone scripts, required documents, and links to official forms. The app also helps users estimate potential offsets (child support, student loans, prior taxes) and suggests realistic next steps instead of false promises. It’s not a tax filing product; it’s a post-filing refund tracker and action hub built for people who are anxious, cash-strapped, and tired of vague government portals.
