A grapevine for taxpayers, by taxpayers.
Ask all of your tax refund questions.
The most frequently asked question we have is when will the IRS WMR update and what day are tax refund deposits. Use our calendar to find out what day you can expect to receive your tax refund.
🚨 IRS Letter 6419 and Letter 6475 important for some tax returns to reduce errors and delays.
Check the mail for IRS Letter 6419 and IRS Letter 6475 to prepare your Tax Return. (Letter 6475 only applies to the third round of Economic Impact Payments.) The IRS stated information in the letters will help to reduce errors and delays. IRS started sending the letters to people who received the advance child tax credit payments and third Economic Impact Payments. The letter 6419 includes the total amount of advance child tax credit payments taxpayers received in 2021 and the number of qualifying children used to calculate the advance payments. The letter 6475 will help Economic Impact Payment recipients determine if they are entitled to and should claim the recovery rebate credit. The amount is needed to file tax return. Here is the statement from them about IRS Letter 6419 and 6475.
The IRS began accepting tax returns on January 24, 2022.
2022 Refund Cycle Chart
The most recent tax refund cycle charts have already been published. The official IRS tax refund cycle chart has been eliminated and replaced with an IRS Information Guidelines for the Tax Preparation Community publication and the IRS says the best way to check the status of your refund is using the Where’s My Refund tool. However, various websites with refund calendars for the 2022 tax season (2021 tax year) have been updated with 2022 direct deposit and check mailing dates.
IRS Refund Schedule Charts typically show that early filers whose returns are accepted before the end of January can anticipate a tax refund direct deposit as early as the first week of February. The day that IRS deposits refunds varies but we notice trends that help you determine the time and days WMR updates and when your tax return is processed. This is an explanation and FAQ about when the IRS updates WMR and Transcripts.
The refund calendar by the College Investor is a good reference which has been updated for 2022 here: When To Expect My Tax Refund.
Has anyone gotten their amended refund direct deposited this year ??

Can an amended return still be processed if only the first 2 pages of the 1040x were sent instead of all of the pages?
Report comment
Anyone dealt with a audit for 2021 return and gotten refund yet?

@StillWaitingOnMyTaxes: 570’s are usually holds for review but for some they lift on the next update. With the as of date moving to 10/3, and the advocate telling you that you should receive your refund by the 28th, I’m hoping that you’ll update to the 846 on the next update, fingers crossed. :)
Report comment
@Sheila_33: thank you I updated to code 570 is that a good thing or bad?
Report comment
My as of date updated on my transcripts to 10/3/22, I now have code 570 does that mean I’m under review? I have a tax advocate who is expecting me to receive my refund by the 28th

I filed my appeal back in July (they said I couldn’t claim my college student) and I got a letter today saying they received my inquiry and to give them another 60 days to work on it. I sent the original amendment back in April so I’m 5 months in so far.

@MelloDello53: Can’t tell with the IRS. I’ve got my hopes on these amendeds starting to work thru, but manually inputting them back into the system slows everything down unfortunately.
Report comment
@StillWaitingOnMyTaxes: I’m hoping so. :)

Hey Shelia. My as of date on my transcripts is 9/5/22, do you think they will be updating soon?
Report comment
@Sheila_33 WMAR is down. What the crap is going on IRS? Who knows.
Report comment
@MelloDello53: I have seen a few amendeds moving but it’s been slow. Hopefully, they’ll get a wave of them worked up and put back in the system to cycle thru and update soon.
Report comment
@Sheila_33 Well 22 weeks and counting on amended return. The WMAR site is not working maybe updating? More than 20 weeks the IRS website says so we just wait folks. I know patience is a virtue.
Report comment
Good morning all,I filed my amended March 4,2022. I called the tax advocate last week or week before last(877-777-4778)they said even with the backlog I shouldn’t have had to wait as long as I did because everything is correct. They said I should have it between three to four weeks. So even though the agent told me it probably wouldn’t update online which it hasn’t I called the actual irs number(1800-829-0582)the agent told me my amended case was closed (they words not mine)and I should have it by the 25th.

@Sheila_33: Thanks so much

@Sharon.O: 570’s are usually holds so perhaps it’s just a verification check and it will be released soon. I’ve seen those 570’s update within a week to a 571 in the past for some, so fingers crossed, you’re in the final stages of finishing up.

Hi Everyone
I filed 2/4 received 60 day notice about 3 weeks after that.
60 days came and went.. As of date switched to March 14 and never changed for month. Call Tax Advocate and they told me back in May that my husband had unreported gambling winnings. I didn’t know the amount at the time because my husband couldn’t remember..
Fast Forward… Beginning of August I reached bk out to the tax advocate people and this time they actually assigned me to an advocate Mr Parker in the Atlanta office is great. He told me the amount of the gambling winnings $4688 to be exact. He had me do an amendment. On August 13th. I showed up in the IRS system the following Friday. I faxed him a copy and a copy of my eviction notice on August 22nd.. He said he would call me 7 to 10 days.. He called the Friday before Labor Day Sept 2nd to tell me he had someone manually process my return and it would should show up in the computer as completed in about 3 to 5 days afterwards.. Knowing that I am a weekly I knew I would update this Friday.. Which I did…. Finally the big 846 for 9/14…
And the crazy thing is when I did my amended return.. my federal refund stayed the same.. and I received $23 extra from my state return…
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Just checked my return now it has gone to the one line. Your tax return is being processed.
Report comment
@Sheila_33: Hi Sheila. I submitted my amended and it was received 4/25. Each week my as of date pushes out a week. Today I saw a 570 with the same date as my as of date 9/26. No 971 just the 570. Also no amended received yet either. I was told this could be due to it not being processed yet. Do you know anything about this? Thanks
Report comment
@Help!!: I’d say it means it’s still in processing

Hello, I checked my refund IT WENT FROM PROCESSING TO STILL PROCESSING. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?

I have code 20222905 when should I receive my refund
Report comment
@Sheila_33: yes! There is a 971-notice issued- 9-19-22.
They audited me in 2012 , I didn’t get my refund until 2016 at no fault of my own! I’m sure that’s what my letter is going to say 👎🏻

Does anyone have any experience with an appeal? I claimed my college student and it says disallowed in my transcript. I sent in all of the info with their paperwork like 2 months ago but I can’t get anyone on the phone to check on it.

Do rushcard deposit taxes refund one or two days early if so I have a date set for Sept 8 when would I receive my refund
Report comment
@Babymama720: 424 is a request for an examination. Sounds like they may be wanting to verify income or your exemptions. If it changes to a 420, then you’ll need to have paperwork ready to send in to prove what you submitted on your return. Is there a 971 with a future date beside it?

@Thistaxseasoniscrap: what was the code you had for audit ?

I have been waiting since March 2022 for my amended tax transcript I have a irs advocate which took 4 weeks for a phone call 6 weeks ago she told me 2 weeks it’s been 2 weeks we are waiting to close on a house!

Is anyone else having trouble logging into transcripts tonight?
Report comment
@aris: Yes it sounds like your amended return is still being worked on. I have the same situation but with the premium health care tax credit. My second bar also is on the second. I was told from a representative that it was from the credit and could no longer track the amended that way so I’ve been calling in to check on amended.
Report comment
I did some digging and the 4-15 credit from my previous post was the plus up payment from the stimulus. Does that mean they still need to amend my return?
Report comment
I amended my tax return 6-12, I got my paper check on 8-15. Looking at the transcript on
4-15 I was given a credit for XXXX amount, this was the same credit amount that they put on code 846 for 8-12. I don’t even know where that amount came from, the number is not even listed on my amended return and I am pretty sure I saw that credit for 4-15 on the transcript prior to me even filing. is it possible they are still working on my amended return? As of date is 8-29 and the site is on second bar.
Report comment
@Aris: Not necessarily. If it’s a current year’s filed amended, then it can be direct deposited if there is bank information on file.

If you have a Friday date by your 846 that does mean check will be mailed, correct?

@ADJ: you received your amended return or regular return? was it deposited or paper check?

@Sharon. O:
I filed my amended return on 3/21/22, I had to get a TA that was pushed by a congressional person of my state. And it so hapthat this week was my 20th week.. also, I filed mine electronically and just received my money about a hour ago.

@ADJ: if you don’t mind me asking when did the IRS say they received your amended? I’m waiting on an amended and trying to guess a time frame

For amended returns, since everyone knows it’s a check. Will the 846 date be when check arrives or sent out?

So sorry if this has been discussed. Has anyone here filed a 3911 to trace missing stimulus money. IRS stated I received more than I actually received. If so, please tell me how long it took to get a response and if you received the missing payment.
