update- I recommend the early jan filers that have not got their money yet to get a advocate to help you out cause with me I’m a early jan17 filer they been holding my return in errors and resolution dept this whole time and wasn’t telling me the problem after all my constant calling and never got a letter so I was tired of waitn on them and decided to contact a advocate. Fyi they say you need to be in hardship but they don’t check or ask proof of your hardship, At least the advocate who helping me didn’t. My advocate called me tues 21st said she will contact me after she got info from the irs which was Friday 24th(fast) and it was a mistake my tax preparer made on my return so I will update once I get more info or my refund. Since its the weekend I won’t be able to fax what the irs needs till Monday.

Kari or anyone–did you end up owing them money? We have to ammend ours too. But, i was told by a friend i can claim it next year? There a w2 missing on my finances return and a 1099 from oil spill on mine. What do you think i should do? Because i don’t want to be delayed next year. :-( could that be the reason my return was held for further review/processing this year? Maybe?

TRANSCRIPTS: please see the various posts in our forum about this topic. here is my speech:
Ordering transcript can only definitively mean you exist to the IRS. However, it has been a theory around here that after transcript success, you have made some progress and are likely o get a hard DD soon. But please kep in mind that it has also been reported that after success at transcript, you could still be held up for various reasons.
I just don’t want this site to ever lead someone down the road of rejoicing or exploding based on us providing “definitive” type information that could be inaccruate. Please if you are offereing your advice or experience, whether it be re: transcript or any other matter, to ensure that you communicate to people that your comments are your experience or opinion. I want people to be able to come here and read everything, and then chew the information around to make their own informed decisions or theories. Please do not tell people “you should” or “that means”, without a disclaimer… lol

TRANSCRIPTS: I don’t see the need to order them one reason, its a burden on an already overburdened system. While it may mean you are out of processing it doesnt mean you are getting a HDD in fact your return may still have other issues, some who have their transcripts still have no money and no HDD, others have received blank transcript with no info on them. So I don’t recommend ordering them. But the choice is yours.

@kj My apologies for not seeing your question below. I was told that it could take up to three weeks….she did explain that it is a standard answer and hoped that it could be resolved and I would have it this week. I did finally get a ‘by 3/6′ notice.
I left a message for my advocate on Friday, so hoping for a return call and more info today.

Here it is…dated feb 20, 2012
The Internal Revenue Service has been having more problems with delayed tax refunds.
Early in tax-filing season, the IRS warned that taxpayers who had filed prior to January 26 might see delays of a week beyond the projected date shown in the online “Where’s My Refund” tool (see IRS Warns of Tax Refund Delays).
However, since February 15, the “Where’s My Refund” tool has displayed a message indicating further delays. “We are aware that some taxpayers who have filed electronically and received an acknowledgement from the IRS are concerned when they visit ‘Where’s My Refund’ and are told that we have no information regarding their return,” said an update message on the page five days later. “This is a temporary situation, and we expect to resolve the matter in a few days. At that time, taxpayers will be able to get an expected refund date when they visit ‘Where’s My Refund.’”
Part of the problem appears to be with the new filters that the IRS installed this tax season to combat identity theft fraud, and which were blamed for causing the delays last month (see IRS Steps up Efforts to Combat Identity Theft Fraud).
The IRS asked taxpayers not to repeatedly call the agency to inquire about their refunds, but apparently many taxpayers are concerned about the delays, especially when they are getting mixed signals from the “Where’s My Refund” tool.
“If a taxpayer received an acknowledgment message that their e-filed tax return has been received, they can be assured that the IRS has the tax return even though ‘Where’s My Refund’ does not reflect that,” said the IRS. “Taxpayers should not call the IRS unless specifically directed by ‘Where’s My Refund,’ as there is no new information to give them.”
The IRS apologized to taxpayers for the situation and said most of the refunds would be issued within 21 days. “We expect the vast majority of tax refunds to continue to be issued within the historical range of 10 to 21 days,” said the IRS. “The IRS is taking steps to update information so .

From ABC news:
If you’re one of the early birds who got your taxes done already and are looking forward to that tax refund, you may need to wait a little longer.
A computer problem has caused a nationwide delay with tax refunds being released.
According to the Internal Revenue Service most of the refund affected are the ones filed between February 2 and February 7.
Normally tax payers can just go online and check the status of their refund but even the “Where’s My Refund” page of the IRS website is not correct.
Up to 60% of all refunds filed during this time period are delayed affecting millions of taxpayers nationwide.
The IRS says this problem is temporary and they are working to resolve the problem. If you have a question about your return, you can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.

This coming Monday is a federal holiday. As a result, unfortunately, the IRS will not release any refunds to any banks on Monday. As of today, looking at statistics of tax returns filed, here are some statistics from feb:
– for returns filed on 2/1, approximately 10% have not yet been released by the IRS.
– for returns filed on 2/2, approximately 50% have not yet been released by the IRS.
– for returns filed on 2/3 – 2/4, approximately 60% have not yet been released by the IRS.
– for returns filed on 2/5 – 2/9, approximately 40% have not yet been released by the IRS.
– for returns filed on 2/10, approximately 50% have not yet been released by the IRS.
– for returns filed on 2/11, approximately 60% have not yet been released by the IRS.
– for returns filed on or after 2/12, the IRS has released only a small number of returns

Here is a post I saw last night
I am an ETech (Electronic Technician) for the Internal Revenue Service. Code 9001 (in fact any 9000 series code) pertains to any system updates we perform. It does not mean you have been chosen to be audited, nor does it mean you have been selected for manual review. The only you can know if you have been audited is by certified USPS. The only way you can know you have been selected for manual review is to call and speak to a representative. Keep in mind that tens of thousands of people call daily. Some of them multiple times; in case you didn’t know, when you call your number is saved into our system as a point of reference (so we know when you last called and what you spoke to a representative about at that time). Also keep in mind that due to call volumes a lot of reps do not reference that info. *** We update our computer systems from 8pm on Friday(s) until 8am Monday(s). Your best time to call the AUTOMATED line is after business hours on Monday and Tuesday. The IRS does send out Direct Deposits on a daily basis, HOWEVER – with the system crash we had DD’s are being bundled. Most if not all DD’s will be sent out Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of the week. Hope this helps.

So how long did she tell u before you are able to get your refund. Our eviction is for 2/25.

I called the advocate office originally, last week. After giving a massive amount of info, they said an advocate would call me back by the 14th. On the 13th I was antsy, so I called, that is when I was given my case number and my personal advocate contact info. I called and left her a message, which she returned the next morning. All the info I faxed her has been received and she said that my return was put on top of others for fixing. Any returns pulled by advocate go before non-advocate errors.
I am going to call her today because of the long weekend. I do not expect her to be able to tell me anything except for that they are working on it. I am due for eviction and having my power turned off today (well last day is today, so monday or tuesday) and am going to ask her if I can give her info to them for verification. My return was accepted on 1/16

I wanted to share some info/warning about the tax advocate. I am someone who did need to get them involved, at the IRS suggestion….anyways, I found out tonight, through a series of phone calls that since my refund was more then 14 days late they (the reg. IRS) could have fixed my error but since the tax advocate had already pulled my case, it is now in their hands. This is not necessarily a bad thing for me but possibly if someone goes through them and are actually nearing some deadline, you will lose that deadline and start over in a new department. Of course, there are some things that the advocates can fix or speed up right away, but this is not always the case.
It was at an IRS’s rep suggestion that I call the advocate because after days and days and maybe a total of 10 hours on the phone, nobody was able to fix my issue. I called tonight and found out that I finally have a advocate assigned to my case but since they had already pulled my info, the IRS could not fix it, it had to be done with the advocacy office.
So, warning for those that think it will help them, it may not. They are a good place to get quick info, and help if you really need it but beware. Good luck to all =D

I contacted a tax advocate last night, and they are a valuable resource, BUT people need to realize that they are as limited as most CSR people. In my case they told me that I am under review because of EIC. They where shocked that I already have my transcripts as that is a signal that it is done processing. The very nice gentleman did mention that several sites have been telling people to call their line, and most just wanted a DD which they get frustrated about. He did tell me that if you are not at least at 3 weeks, they normally route you back to the IRS.

In regards to the Tax Advocates, I know this whole situation is very frustrating, but chances are most of you will recieve your tax return within a week. I have also seen people that filed just a little over a week ago talking about getting advocates. I dont’ think they realize the process that takes place when you get a tax advocate to work on a case for you. They will talk to your employers, and like firstjustme said, they will verify every single word of what you said, before you know it months have passed and you may very well still not have a refund, when to begin with you would have been waiting another week tops, if that long even. Now if you have been told that you a. won’t be getting your taxes, and you feel this is incorrect, by all means advocate it up, or b. have been told you are going to have a massive delay, and you really are struggling and absolutely need the money asap, then again advocate it up. But I can not stress the reprocussions of opening a case with the tax advocates if it is not very important that you do so. Not to mention, if someone were to open a case with an advocate, and in all reality they are just wanting their money faster so they can get that tv and all new living room furniture, they could essentially cause a family of 5, 3 of which are small children, to go unanswered by the advocates and ultimately get them tossed out of their home. Just a little thought to keep in mind when deciding whether or not it is a good idea for you to open a case with them :b

As I was saying this morning, the tax advocate is a valuable resource.IT IS NOT PART OF THE IRS!! It is for people who have gone longer then three weeks since being accepted AND have tried to resolve things with the IRS many times, advocate will check all call logs and info and when those issues have not been resolved, they may be able to have part of your refund released. They WILL have you verify everything you say and it is not a short process.
Some people have insisted on having an advocate and since they are not the IRS but a public help agency, they will open a case for you and have an advocate call you back. When you get the return call, they will have you confirm everything you have tried, ask you some VERY personal questions, and make you verify everything.
It was my suggestion that people not automatically think this is a solution to the IRS delays, just a last ditch effort to resolve things when there are no answers.
I understand that most people are desperate for their money but overloading a public advocacy group that is not part of the IRS, is not the way to do it.

What’s going on and what’s wrong?

The advocate didn’t help me either. They just told me “give it 3 weeks”. :(

It’s funny, I googled the 9001 code and found discussions and thread about it from 4-5 years ago too. It’s nothing new, but it is to me!

@Angie- EXACTLY, I keep going over and over in my head wondering if I may owe some inknown money or I filed something wrong 5 years ago. They have me so paranoid!

Tax Advocate doesn’t do crap, honestly. DIDN’T HELP ME AT ALL! Thanks for pretty much repeating what I already knew.
(Feb 9, 2012) Angie said:
I am with you Melanie. I have never had issues and since it IS the IRS it makes me a little paranoid. Especially with my refund being so much! It’s like the feeling you get when a cop drives behind you, but you know you aren’t doing anything wrong!
(Feb 9, 2012) Melanie said:
@Sue- they look up your info, tell you alot more about your refund and ecpected dates and are a hell of alot nicer in my opinion
(Feb 9, 2012) Frankie said:
Melanie I have almost same exact story as you!! First rep I talked to said they had a date of 2-24, second one said still processing, a week later than anticipated????
(Feb 9, 2012) Melanie said:
All I know is I have been filing the same way for years now and I have NEVER had these problems, WMR would showprocessing date then DD date then money came. What is up with this year?
(Feb 9, 2012) sue said:
what does the addvocate do?
(Feb 9, 2012) sue said:
this is just stupid some get processed some don’t & they can’t do anything about it ?
(Feb 9, 2012) Melanie said:
I did call IRS on Wed and was told I was pulled for review but she had no idea why and it would be 4 weeks, called irs addvocate and he said he showed NO review and that I was just processing, with expected DD 2/14 but they had until 2/21 to refund
(Feb 9, 2012) Angie said:
@Melanie- I wish it would be tonight, but I am not counting on it :( But, I will still say a prayer!
(Feb 9, 2012) Kyleigh said:
@Melanie says the same for me also.

(Feb 9, 2012) Frankie said:

(Feb 9, 2012) Kendall said:

(Feb 9, 2012) sue said:
I also got 9001 as of sunday when did you all file
(Feb 9, 2012) Kendall said:
Same situation, hubbys number brings up 9001, mine still says 2/14 even though I should have been in the 2/8 dd ~ Oh well found out my state taxes were completely offset, and so I’m on pins and needles now!

Same here. I check WMR daily but nothing has changed from 9001 since sunday. Originally it said I should have my deposit by 2/14. IRS wasnt very helpful either.

This is a temporary thread for those with the 9001 error because it’s a trending problem. If you got here by accident head back out to main page….

JoeRich I hope you are right!
(Feb 9, 2012) Frankie said:
Kendal wouldn’t that be nice. I’m the same as you. Said 2-14 but today is giving me nothing. When I check under my husbands SS I get the 9001
(Feb 9, 2012) Anonymous said:
JoeRich at least sounds like he knows what he is talking about. Very interesting.
(Feb 9, 2012) Kendall said:
:) does this mean we could get a deposit tonight? My estimated dd was by 2/14 but I locked myself out and havent been able to check. So whats the consensous? Think if you filed before 2/1 we could get paid tonight?

Created this as a temporary thread to discuss the 9001 error.
My research turned up this online by a user JoeRich who claimed he was an IRS employee.
“Code 9001 (in fact any 9000 series code) pertains to any system updates we perform. It does not mean you have been chosen to be audited, nor does it mean you have been selected for manual review. The only you can know if you have been audited is by certified USPS. The only way you can know you have been selected for manual review is to call and speak to a representative. Keep in mind that tens of thousands of people call daily. Some of them multiple times; in case you didn’t know, when you call your number is saved into our system as a point of reference (so we know when you last called and what you spoke to a representative about at that time). Also keep in mind that due to call volumes a lot of reps do not reference that info. *** We update our computer systems from 8pm on Friday(s) until 8am Monday(s). Your best time to call the AUTOMATED line is after business hours on Monday and Tuesday. The IRS does send out Direct Deposits on a daily basis, HOWEVER – with the system crash we had DD’s are being bundled. Most if not all DD’s will be sent out Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of the week. Hope this helps.”
