      I’ve had this ridiculous refund status on WMR and the hotline since Jan. 31. Filed on 1/17 and Accepted by IRS on 1/25. Only claimed EITC and Child tax credit for my 3 kids, like I do every year. Anyone have any idea what this means? It doesn’t say I’m under review like other threads I’ve seen, but was wondering if this message is a precursor to that. I feel like I’m in purgatory. Aggravating seeing people that filed almost 2 weeks after not only have deposit dates, but already have their refunds. I’m happy for them and all, but WTH IRS????

          Yep same boat as rest of you. Filed and accepted mid feb. Have seen this status every day since end of march. Well over 30 day mark now. Impossible to get anyone on the phone. Called all times of the day and the button sequence that used to get me to a live person now just says they have a high call volume and to go F myself.

          Wasn’t aware of the transcript thing; looking into it.

            I filed my taxes in the beginning of march and still have not gotten anything. I check the site and phones once a week for both on different days. it still says im being processed and will get a date when ready. I haven’t gotten any letters or anything from the irs. so is it really being processed or am I being garnished for some reason…(idk what though).

                  Casey,

                  Did you get a hold of a person at the IRS hotline? I cannot seem to get through to a live person. I filed in January as well, received an initial letter from IRS in February saying my account was being reviewed and then nothing else. My status has not changed once on the WMR. I also used Education Credit and have significant student loans. Any help would be appreciated.

                  I filed and got accepted Jan 27, 2014. I got a notice dated Feb 21 saying it was being reviewed for 1 of 4 reasons. Federal tax, EITC, Child Tax Credit or Business Income. It said if i have not heard anything or recieved my refund within 60 days, to call them. So i spent 90 minutes on the phone today, on hold most of the time. The agent tells me all she can do is send a referral to the processing department and to wait 30-45 days. What a crock. $9000 is my refund so im a little ticked off. I need that money bad! All this time, where’s my refund is giving me same response. It’s still being processed. A date will be provided when available.

                    I too am stuck with the “YOUR REFUND IS STILL PROCESSING A REFUND DATE WILL BE PROVIDED WHEN AVAILABLE” delay. I filed on January 31st and was accepted on January 31st. after 2 weeks I got that message. on February 17th I contacted the IRS because it was past 21 days, at that time I was told that there was an error on their part in the processing of my return and to give them another 6-8 weeks to which I had no choice but wait. well the eight weeks are up and I called them again today and was told the same bs. they have no information and I have to wait another 6 weeks from April 9th. they have no explanation, no information nothing just wait. I am seeking information from anyone who has experienced this or know someone who has. btw I took the liberty on the advice of an IRS agent and sent in proof of my identity, my w-2 and information to support my claim.

                        We are too in the same situation. Most of my family members. All claiming EITC. One received a letter stating he was qualified again for EITC and to wait 6 weeks after the letter was sent which the 6 weeks would be up sometimes end of April (WMR status also says the same “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.”) Another family member that have claimed EIC every year also has the “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” and have had this message for almost 2 months now. All have sent in returns and accepted since early February and have been waiting since…

                            The IRS accepted my return on 2/3 via efile. My son sent his NYS tax return paper based on 2/10. He just received his refund on 3/12. i am still waiting .

                            The website says “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.”. It has been like that for two weeks?? This is ridiculous. We are going on six weeks! I already got my state return which I efiled along with the fed. Like I mentioned, my son paper filed after me and got his state taxes yesterday. And I need the money! grrrr

                              I filed/accepted 2/18/2014. I have codes:
                              971 03/17/2014
                              570 03/17/2014

                              I pulled my trans and see that I claimed the Addtnl Child Tax Credit in error (I only have one child). The IRS already took the 630 off of my expected refund amount and it is updated in the AT’s. Under where it shows ‘Tax Return Filed’ on the AT, I have a Cycle Code of 20140905. I got curious about this and called the IRS yesterday. I got a very young sounding girl who did not seem to know much more than I did from the AT’s. She put me on hold and came back to say that ‘bc I filed MFS they are reviewing my Child and Dependant Care Expenses which could take 60days’. She also said there was a letter sent to me last week but that she didn’t know what the letter said or what it meant. I explained about the ACTC and she confirmed what I was seeing. I asked if that was in fact the issue that she was referring to and she said it could be. That led me to ask her if she could see the letter and she said no… I asked if she could see anything besides my transcript and she said basically, no. Then, I asked if it was possible that the ACTC was the issue and, since the IRS alrdy dealt with it, it was possible my refund could already be in process of release/DD and that the system/AT was just not updated yet… and she said that was possible. It seems to me the IRS reps just do not know what is going on outside of the recent AT’s which, to my understanding, are not updated more than once a week.

                              Has anyone else had this type of issue? I am trying to be patient and wait and I know the letter is on its way but I just cannot stand the mismanaged way this is handled every year.

                              Any thoughts and shared experiences are greatly appreciated :-)

                                I logged on for a transcript and they said it will be in the mail. What does that mean? Does that mean my refund should be coming soon?

                                    I filed and was accepted on Feb 12th. Still showing in process. BUT, I went in to order transcripts and when I clicked on the 2013 Account section (the second part), It showed my refund as deposited on March 17th….so I’m guessing that’s when they’ll deposit it. Try clicking on that and see if tells y’all anything….

                                        I really need some help with this issue. My WMR bar went away today! It states that my refund is still processing and a date will be provided when available. I’m shitting bricks because I need my money and this has never happened before. I filed through tax act like I always do, but now this happens. I don’t know whether to call or not. The irs still has until the 19th to approve my refund since that will be the 21 day mark, but I am worried. All my alerts cleared when I filed so I wonder what the issue may be?

                                                  I e-filed 2/1 and it was accepted 2/2. I STILL have the “A refund date will be provided…” black hole.
                                                  But I called the phone number listed below (800-829-0582 x 362) and found out that because of the Ed credit, we will receive our DD 4-6 weeks from March 11. Don’t know if that’s the same for everyone. That puts my DD between April 8-22; 9-11 weeks after filing. Very frustrating, but at least we have a ballpark date now to work with. She said that the “Where’s My Refund” is accurate so I guess I’ll start checking again in April. Hope you all get better info!

                                                    I filed my taxes electronically through FreeTaxUSA on Jan 17, my taxes were accepted by the IRS on Jan 25, although I know that they would not start processing until Jan 30. I began checking my status on WMR on Feb 3, and initially I had the “step bars” but within just a few days they were gone and it read “Your refund is still being processed etc…” I then realized that the Education Credit form would not begin being accepted until Feb 14, and it could be 21 days from then before I even got a deposit date. Here it is March 18, and I still have no money, and no deposit date! I called the IRS several of times and my answers consisted of “everything is filled out correctly, you just need to wait”, “we have no new information”, “maybe we are waiting to hear from the college or University”, “it can be another 6 weeks” (that phone call was made on March 11) and each answer was on different phone calls! Finally on March 13, I called a number I found on a different thread that has an extension to get a live person and I talked to a lady who explained that there was a processing error with the Education Credit (form 8863) and they had mailed letters out and to ignore mine if I got it. I explained the entire journey I have had with my refund and that I assisted a friend of mine with hers and she too had the Education Credit and she got her refund already. The lady I was speaking with asked if my friend filed before or after Feb 22, I said after and then she proceeded to tell me that because she filed after the 22 is why she had received hers, and because I filed in Jan is why I have not! Not once did the lady look up my information and although I asked her to, she still refused and assured me that thousands of people are going through the same thing, wait another 4 weeks before I call back and try not to check WMR, so that when I do get my refund I will be surprised! (WTF???) I don’t really understand how filing later speed up the process and the people who filed early are being punished! The number to call is 1-800-829-0582 ext.362. Also, if you can get a rep who actually likes her job and takes the time to show interest in your issues, I read that you can ask them to do a “referral update”. I know my answer is not going to come from this thread but any advice helps, and I hope that the info I have given helps someone else! As sad as it is, I know that I am not the only one going through this and I think it is crazy, but what can I do!

                                                              Gonna call HRB again see what they tell me. Ugh – Hope it just comes in monday cause my brain is going to explode.

We used a CPA this year (loads cheaper than JH) and he sent our stuff in via e-file on the 30th of Jan. We had 1 W-2, married filing jointly, EIC, and 2 children-one born in early 2012. It was a sizeable return, just over $9000 because my husband opted to have more taxes taken from his wages so we could get this big return. As per the WMR website, I waited a full 24 hours to check my status, and it was showing as accepted, processing, 21 days, blah blah blah on the 31st of Jan. And it stayed that way until this past Monday morning (2/18), when it changed to Your return is being processed, a refund date will be given when available! We’ve had nothing about a review or a problem or anything, called and spoke to an IRS rep who, true to form, gave us the generic ‘we can’t do anything until 21 days are past’ shpeel, but DID tell us if there was a problem that WMR would show it. STILL can’t order transripts (neither account or return) as of this morning and tomorrow is the magic day of 21! I’ve noticed that alot of people are still waiting, but most are at least able to order transcripts?? As luck would have it, we desperately need this money (like most everyone else) and since we need it so badly, it’s NOT COMING!! :-(

I’m so happy! Now I’m gonna be a total stress-monster waiting for it to actually happen, especially since I’ve seen a few posts of people saying they did not get their refund on that date. So I hope I’m not jinxing anything by posting lol!

                                                                                                But anyway for those still sitting on this message, there is hope. My details:
                                                                                                Filed on approx 1/24, entered into wmr as accepted on 1/30, although I have reason to believe that I wasn’t “actually” accepted until 2/1. Sat on the first bar with 21 day message until 2/7, when the bar went away and went to the “date will be provided when…” message. No education credit, mfj, 2 kids (1 born in 2012), eic, no offsets, dd to a regular bank. I never tried ordering any transcripts or calling any representatives, too afraid of messing something up.

                                                                                                Hoping to see a bunch more replies on here of good news! Good luck to all!

                                                                                                  My understanding on that is being able to order the transcripts means your taxes have been processed. Idk how long after that you have to wait to get your refund…but all the same… I’m happy there’s some change.

                                                                                                  My reccommendation is for you to try to order your transcripts everyday, so you know if it’s made any progress. You won’t get much of anywhere with IRS representatives on the phone. Believe me, I called at least once a day every day this week.

                                                                                                  People are saying they get DD’s right after being able to order their transcripts. So, give it a shot. Sorry! It sucks for all of us this year!

I think that most people on here including myself will get approved tomorrow (I know tomorrow is saturday, bare with me), and will have a dd date of 2-13. I filed on the 29th and got accepted on the 29th but been stuck in processing since. So hang in there everybody, got a feeling we are getting our money Wednesday.

I did see someone post that they got their refund on 2/2 which was a Saturday. That would be nice to wake up to un the morning. I bank with Bank Of America. I wondered if anyone else out got a deposit on A Saturday this year or previous years. I can definately say from all the posts I read that WMR is not reliable.

                                                                                                          Oh well, still got that message again today. I was so sure I’d wake up to a ddd this morning. Got my fingers crossed that I’ll see something tomorrow.

                                                                                                          I saw a lot of people on the feed saying that even though wmr is not showing anything yet for them, they are calling and being told ddds of 2/13. I’ve also read that those that were being held up with the education credit are going to start processing on the 14th… so maybe there is some truth to the ddd of the 13th for those of us that don’t have education credit? Maybe they want to get all of us out of the way before they start tackling those?

                                                                                                          Again, wild guess, making stuff up, but anything at this point to help me keep staying positive!

This is my last year and I graduate in April so this is probably the last year that I will get the education credit. It seems as if the same problem is occurring again this year: having to verify that I am indeed going to school online, although you have to wait to get your from 1099 T from your school in order to put on the tax form the school code and the tuition figure. Ugh I just don’t get it. Today is day 29 for me excluding weekends and President’s Day.

I started seeing this message today, and there was an error on my return that was corrected yesterday. I called and the rep seemed very positive that I would be receiving my return “very soon”, she couldn’t give me a date though.

Like if the resulting deposit date would have been a weekend, or if they’re still trying to validate the bank info.

                                                                                                                Totally just a wild guess, obviously, but in the absence of any other theories, I figured I’d throw that out there.

Did that this morning and found that we were placed under review :/ I was accepted on 01/24. Goodluck guys
