POST YOUR ACTUAL TAX REFUND EXPERIENCE HERE
This is a “user to user” site and the primary mode of support is peer-to-peer, meaning users helping other users. Admin and moderators are not always present or may not have answers to questions. Each user becomes more informed about topics the same way: the frequency at which we are here to read and comment. We are not a group of experts, merely taxpayers, and probably have learned more than we ever wanted to know about taxes.
Where is the 2013 Refund Cycle Chart? The refund cycle chart has been eliminated and replaced with an IRS Information Guidelines for the Tax Preparation Community publication. A personal finance blog at The College Investor has put together an Estimated Refund Date Chart based on last year’s tax refund chart that you may find useful: Estimated Refund Date Chart.

@hi is this a really good friend?
Was told by a close friend that a BIG UPDATE will happen tonight……………….heh
Has anyone had their return say we reacive your refund and it is now being process … How Long do you wait if they accept your return
We are all new slaves of this nwo …. Which mean they control us .. We pay our taxes and no one care aka the IRS .. Been waitan since feb 15 no school credit just my w2 smh …
@Anonymous: As a teacher, we are all emotionally upset by this news!
I was informed by my TA that processing was done on Friday but no DD date yet. She is ‘guessing” next Tuesday for Direct and Thursday for paper. I hope they Direct deposit since that is what I asked for. Please, I hope the end is near. 3 years in a row with this issue!!
After finding out about the tragedy in oklahoma.. Me waiting for this money is not that bad.
Just wanted to share my story…I filed 1/31, fthbc , Ed credit, accepted 2/14. Orange Bars came and went, generic mess appeared 4/01, processing -date when available. No letters, no calls to IRS. Called today rep said please hold, she came back with address to mail the paper return. She didn’t know the reason my return couldn’t be processed electronically, and why no letter was not sent to me. Tomorrow I will mail a paper return across the country, and she said 6-8 weeks after received for refund. I figured with all the errors and fixes my refund was just in line and I could expect any day now. I could use my $ just like everyone, but was never counting on it, good thing! I should have called a month ago! Don’t wait like I did, call!
Has anyone had the IRS call there work for verification?
Im praying for all of us who are still waiting.
Ok so I was interested in this furlough day coming up and didnt realize it but its this Fri….WOW.. ok so why is it my rep when called waited hold forever told me they would contact me about status on Fri???? Not gonna give up..trying to keep faith and patience but..you tell me what you’d be thinking :(
Right!!!1
I have made up my mind I’m not gonna let this confusion with the refund detour me from having faith in Christ. The refund is not my source but it was a resource. So whatever financial situation I’m having then I know the Lord will make another way. In the meantime the world needs to know, that’s this is only a brink of what the endtimes will bring. I am praying for everone on this site who are having issues and needed their refund to sustain them or bring them current. I’m praying that this situation doesn’t cause anyone anymore emotional distress that it already has, from the taxpayers, to the IRS workers, and to the decision makers of Nation. I pray that God brings peace to everyone and I hope everyone recieves their money soon or at least a peace of mind as they patiently wait. Be blessed all and have faith in the Lord he will see you through.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
@oc it’s not that no one don’t answer question if I haven’t experience it first hand I
rather not misinform anyone. If it’s a question that I can answer I will be more
than willing to assist. Lord knows this has been a very stressful tax season.
they are just holding you guys up for whatever reason..maybe the ones that are left are the ones being reviewed. I filed my 2012 taxes 1/30 accepted 1/31. DD 4/10/2013. Never filed a 2009 mailed it off 4/4/2013 they said that received on 4/15/2013. And I received a check in the mail today which was a total of only 4 weeks.
EFF the IRS.
isnt it nice how their furlough gives them a four day weekend!!
No I finally got a letter late march. I called every other day and they just kept giving me the run around. I sent the stubs then got another letter and i called to ask why they are asking for the same thing and she stated they needed more stubs. its all bs if u ask me. i have filed every yr with no gaps and never had a issue. even when i did owe them they took the money within 2 weeks top and it was end of story.
@essie LoL the country would go under!
furlough days??????????? SMH they should be adding days to clean up this mess and take the days off at the end of getting this mess cleaned up
I hope one day someone will audit the irs and how they are doing us.

@lomester5071 the hold was lefted 18 of may
@dearmyofone 6-8 weeks
@Kennyg – when did you file? Did you ever receive any of those letters?
@essie did they send you a letter to mail in ur paystubs and w2 – how did you know to send them?? or did you call and get a TA??
Showmethemoney never had to send in anything just had to wait.
@essie – Did they ask for your paystubs after a CP05 letter? or did you have a TA?
we bust our asses for our paychecks – sick of giving it away!!
@tackterry they called my cousin he got letter to verify and they called him but he gave them his number. nobody ever answers questions when u post them.
@essie – exactly – the money we have been throwing away donating to them from each paycheck we opening a ING account and we are having it directing deposited into there every week! It is ours and we are sick of giving it away and begging for it back!
@essie – exactly!! The money the threw away to them we opened a ING savings and we have been putting it in there!! Its our money and now we are keeping it!!
@showmethemoney nope no update yet on this end
Im not paying them if I ever owe them again. They talk to me as if im asking for a welfare check.
The IRS has the upper hand. No one can stop them from doing us this way
Im just giving up – been waiting since 2.15 – husband and I both changed our withholdings. Use to be we both had a little more withheld to get a nice refund back – the last 12 years. Not anymore. Changed our withholdings and next year we will file an ext. and not file screw the IRS!
@interestfreeloan – seems you cant win either way – evenone I have seen between this board and the turbotax board that got a TA or gave IRS directly what that asked for was still told another 6-8 weeks.
I was accapted 2/1 no ed credits. I have never been through so much BS.
hello all,
Im still waiting what the IRS is goung to ask for now. My last request was for more pay stubs since 6 was not enough smh. Why do they ask for stubs and W2. Im beyond pissed.
@kennyg did you ever had to send any info.
Showmethemoney woke up this morning with the money posted to my account. My dd was 5/22. Glad this saga is over. Good luck to all still waiting.

@waitingandwaiting: when did your hold come off?
@Showmethemoney: not I!
Okay talked to the TA again today after calling the IRS and was told that they didn’t see any hold being taken off my account. When you are assigned a TA don’t call IRS again because they will make you think that there is no progress on your account. But when I talked to the TA she told be that the hold had been taken off my account and I had to wait for the system to generate a refund date so to call her back Tuesday for the refund date. Lord knows I hope this crisis is over
