            I used TT. Filed on the 15th using education credit,. still pending. spoke to the IRS and like most of you I was told everything looked okay and to wait until the 21 days. So, I do NOT think it is a HRB issue but an IRS delay they are not telling us about………..

              I got this information from HRB facebook page, it was posted on Thursday 2/28/2013.

              Some taxpayers are receiving letters from the IRS informing them their returns are now under further review. Some of these letters are related to Form 8863 (Education Credits).

              Rest assured your return has been prepared accurately and your estimated 21-day refund cycle has not changed.

              Here’s what has happened:
              This year the IRS changed the way it processes and accepts answers to some ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ questions on Form 8863 as transmitted by H&R Block. Once we learned of this IRS change, we worked to comply with the new IRS process.

              We do apologize for the inconvenience to our clients. The IRS has reassured H&R Block and our impacted clients these additional reviews will NOT impact estimated refund dates.

              Please note: Others who have filed Form 8863 have also received letters from the IRS asking for additional information. Clients must provide these details to the IRS in order for their return to be processed. If your return was prepared in an H&R Block retail office, please contact your tax pro to help you.

                I filed 1/29 with education credits like everyone else, and I also filed with HRB…and I was told like all of you that I had to wait til 2/14 to process..and it was accepted the same day..here it is 3/2 and still one bar..I did speak to a nice man at the IRS and he said that my 21 days wasn’t up yet (it will be up next week), and that I SHOULD be
                getting my refund then…I sure hope so…I am so tired of waiting!

                  I filed 1/29, recieved a letter 2/4 about education credits, was accepted on 2/15 and have heard nothing since. I called the IRS and spoke to a guy who said all he could see on his end was that my return had been recieved and is still processing. He told me to call back the day after my 21 day end date for more information.

                    I heard the HRB transmission to the IRS was garbled and that caused us to be delayed. Someone posted that info on the main discussion thread of this site. She said she got that info from a friend who works at HRB. that would explain why TT folks have their refunds and we don’t. I wish HRB would come out and say that if its true.

                        Same here filed 1/30 HRB waited until 2/14 due to the 8863 and have been processing ever since. I did call the IRS they said that there were no issues with my return and I should have a dd within 21 days…….

                          I filed 1/30 with HRB Online, Ed credit, received the email about waiting and my return was accepted on 2/14. I too have the one bar on WMR with no change. No info since has been given. I haven’t called anyone. It does seem strange that TT filets got their refunds with form 8863 and we didn’t. Notice the ones of us who did file later when the forms were actually ready got their DDD. I read somewhere that the additional delay was caused by programming problems so maybe HRB didn’t get it right on their end. Whatever the reason, I will never use HRB again. This has been the worst tax season ever. The lack of communication by both HRB and IRS is disturbing.

                              I filed jan 30th h&r sent me email saying they were holding it until the 14th also couldn’t file state till federal was accepted. Feb 14th mine was accepted but WMr still only one bar and says within 21 days yada yada but… My state which I was able to file on the 15th (finally ) has a dd of 3/5 so who knows what’s going on! Fingers crossed something changes tomorrow

                                Seems like the only 8863 filers to get dd dates are those who used turbo tax….not sure why there’s are getting ran through and ours aren’t….hopefully all of ours will be going through in the coming days!

                                  filed 1/28 through HRB
                                  Accepted 2/14
                                  still one bar “processing”
                                  transcripts still unavailable as of yesterday (usualy try at the end of the day)

                                  The poster above is the first HRB 8863 filer I have heard of getting a DDD.

                                        I’m in the same boat. I used H&R Block, they held my tax return until Feb 14th and got accepted the same day. I had the education credits and EIC….I’ve been stuck on processing for the last two weeks. It’s frustrating to see a lot of other people who had the 8863 issue get dd dates or there refunds already….what a mess.

                                          I used HRB software and filed on 2/8, on 2/9 got a email that stated I had to wait until 2/14 due to form 8863. Still no DDD. I called IRS last night as I need my transcripts for school and the gentleman first told me my return had not even been recieved, then he said it hasnt been processed and to allow 3 to 6 weeks, only to turn around and tell me that if I haven’t heard anything by 3/8 to call them back. Just checked WMR, still no change.

                                            I also used HRB, filed Feb 9, accepted feb 15th with education credits. still only one orange bar “received”.
                                            I called HR, same thing, “wait the 21 days’. I hope i wake up to good news sooner than that!

                                              Almost the same. Still waiting and today is 2/28, just checked and no change (yet). Filed before the 14th of Feb, got message 2/14 saying IRS accepted (I had been waiting on Ed Credit forms) and so I hoped that now that is has been 2 weeks from then, it might finally show as accepted, but it still has not. My boss used Turbo Tax , also had ed credits and filed on the 14th and already got her refund this past Friday. It is so frustrating to not see progress or an explanation. All we can do is hope and pray and wait and see. Please post if your status changes and I shall try to do likewise.

                                                        Find out if your refund is being offset by any debts 1-800-304-3107

                                                        I called the above number just to be sure and I am not being held for any offsets. DDD would really ease my mind.

                                                          I filed my taxes on 1/30 and accepted on 1/30. I have been processing every since No change in situation, same return filed last year. I filed my daughters return on 2/1 using HRB online and her situation had completely changed, she got her refund today 2/8!!!! I don’t understand the hold up. I am used to waiting 10 days to get my refund but when others who filed after me have already received theirs it’s irritating! I havent called the IRS, I thought I would get a DDD day today but I am now considering calling just to see what the hold up could be.

I paid my fees upfront so I wonder if maybe they are just behind on sending the texts. I was all excited hopibng for a dd date today but still says processing. Tried ordering transcripts but it would only let me order the account ones and not the returns..not sure what that means. Last year we had to wait almost 4 weeks for our refund and was hoping this year it would be faster:(

                                                                            • #5121

                                                                                When I call the HRBlock hotline it tells me the IRS has accepted my returns and they are reviewing my refund for their fees. Does this mean they have the money now or does it just mean they are still waiting it for it? WMR goes back and forth between pending and not having my info. I was just able to get transcripts last night at 2am.

                                                                              • #5084

I paid my fees myself when I filed. Self employed daycare provider, same info as the last 12 years of filing. Stuck at the first bar :(

Got an email from H and R this morning.. ugh

I bet that message was h&r letting us know they got our refund and we have to wait on them to process them without actually saying it. I got the same message my fees are being deducted.

                                                                                        • #4987

I never got a single email or text though…? btw, those of u who don’t know,if u have the emerald card u can get refund info by caling number on back :)

He says the IRS did some last minute BS regarding e-filing on HR Blocks home services and it could be an extra 48 hours before it is processed.. and not to worry.. im still worrying.

HR block sent me an email the 30th saying it sent it out to NJ and to federal. On the HRBlock website its still saying processing… and no updates over over 48 hours.. smh.. IRS website can’t find me and is saying HRBlock never processed it thru again.. ugh.
