Where’s My Refund?
When does IRS accept tax returns in 2020?
IRS e-file Open Date is January 27, 2020.
This is the date the IRS will begin accepting tax returns. You can submit now and they will sit in queue until 1/27.
When Can You File Taxes in 2020?
Most tax preparers will allow you to enter and submit your tax return beginning the first week of January 2020. You don’t need to wait for the IRS to start accepting tax returns to start, but you must have the proper forms and paperwork. Some forms are not available until mid January and some even later. When you submit your return before the IRS begins processing, it will sit in a “queue” and be held until the date that the IRS will officially accept tax returns. If you e-file early and it sits in queue, your return may be sent to the IRS early in a test batch. This has resulted in early direct deposits in the past, but also major glitches because they are tests after all.
Where is the IRS Refund Cycle Chart?
2020 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 2020 tax season (2019 tax year) have been updated with 2020 direct deposit and check mailing dates.
When to Expect My Refund?
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.
The refund calendar by the College Investor is a good reference which has been updated for 2020 here: When To Expect My Tax Refund.

@Blessed: no, it shouldn’t be a problem at all. A lot of people, including myself, have filed with both w2s and a 1099.
I need an ip pin for file my return, but the site is down. Does anyone know when it should be back up to request a pin?
@Blessed2020: I have seen some people in the test batches without the child credits see their refunds as early as the 1st of February. A lot depends on how quickly they get processed and if they are dailies or weeklies.
@Sonny: i am supposed to get it i just filed today though my return hasnt been accepted by the irs yet
Who received the TurboTax advance
@Blessed2020:
The PATH credits are the Earned Income Credit and the ADDITIONAL Child Tax Credit.
@Pmedina: freetaxusa, turbo tax are two I’ve seen
@Nikki_1220: perfect. Glad she got it figured out.
@Blessed2020:
They are definitely test batches.
@Nikki_1220: they are, so if you have credits it should be feb 15th and after.
@Sheila_33: haha me too
Anyone other than taxact get accepted today?
I filed a week ago and i was accepted by irs today!! Used taxslayer
Anyone is this true my tax preparer said that they weren’t doing the path this year but isn’t that law I’m confused
@Sheila_33: ok so she spoke with all companies and they informed her that one will be accepted and the others will be rejected and it won’t cause a Flagg because it will automatically rejected
One of my managers from my old job at the goodwill said I will be getting a 1099 instead of a w2. Do you think that may cause a delay? I normally just have w2s. This year will be w2s and a 1099. 😐
Does anyone know when the ip pin site will be back and running?
Thanks, So more than likely these early acceptances without path are test batches? When will they receive their first approvals or ddd’s? 😪 @Mbry0625: @Sheila_33:
Greetings all! Welcome back for our yearly adventure! I efiled on 1/10/2020 and was accepted by the IRS today – 1/13. I have EIC, so I know I’m PATH, but here’s hoping for a DDD of 2/21!

Filed at 1:00 this morning and just received email that my return has been accepted by irs
@Mbry0625: I was thinking it meant that it was accepted.
Filed 1/11/2020 accepted today around 3pm … turbo tax still says pending but on where’s my refund I do have 1 bar . I do have earned income credit … no child tax
@Nikki_1220: should be fine then.
@Mbry0625: just got my email from free tax lol. Little do they know I’m obsessed and stalking them.
@Nikki_1220: yeah hopefully it rejects then. I would think so but I don’t want to give the wrong answer.
@Blessed2020: yes eic is path.
@Sheila_33: yes she screenshot the where’s my refund and shows one bar and tax topic 152 so I’m guessing the others will get rejected
@Blessed2020: just returns with the eitc and actc are held by the path act.
@Blessed2020: yes, it’s the EIC and actc
@Mbry0625: that’s what she did one canceled and she waiting on the other one but I know one year I filed with 2 different tax places and one was rejected and my taxes came well that of course was before the deadly path but I didn’t get flagged but I know you guys give good advice so I wanted to double check with you guys
@Nikki_1220: As long as only one was efiled, and its showing up on the wmr, then it will be fine. If the other two were efiled, they will probably be rejected and hopefully not be flagged for verification.
@Mbry0625:@Sheila_33: Hey is the IRS holding the EIC as well? Earned income credit? I know thats different than the other 2. But its not the path is it??!🤔
@Sheila_33: she was told by one tax place they cancel transmission for her return and won’t submit it to the irs and she is still waiting on the other company to see if it was rejected or accepted by the irs
@Nikki_1220: she should call the other two and see if they filed her stuff.
Did anybody file with turbotax and get accepted the same day? I just filed today
@Sheila_33: no just one
@Stheresa: if it shows one bar I think that means it’s been accepted.
@Sheila_33: lol! Ok
@Sheila_33: ahh ok so probably don’t start processing until that week.
@Mbry0625: let me ask those wiser than me lol.
@Mbry0625: I have one bar on wmr . I have also had my taxes done by a tax company this year I filed my own.
@Mbry0625: I updated on the Friday after opening day. It did the same thing the year before when i got that 424 code too.
@Sheila_33: hmm I wonder if anyone knows this answer.
@lilred44 (15th): right I wish this job would hurry up lol
@Nikki_1220: was she able to get the loan at 3 different places?
@Stheresa: yes, a lot of these ppl filed like last week.
@Mbry0625: I’m not sure about how that works exactly but I do know if a duplicate social pops up, it flags it. The IRS has a system of stages. And if something triggers a flag it holds and it won’t move to the next stage until it resolves. I’m just not sure if it rejects, or not.
@Kimberly1: and to add WMR shows one bar and tax topic 152. Hopefully, this year goes better for all. But it’s on me a bit since I’m once again risking delay filing early.
WA: Filed 01/08/2020, Accepted today w/HR Block, no path or etc
Woohoo! Got one w-2 today. Waiting on 1 more.
@Mbry0625: Last night.
@Sheila_33: if you file in multiple places does it get rejected or can they accept them all?
@Nikki_1220: hmm that’s going to get her flagged for sure I would think. Idk if it would reject her.
@MaryB: yay! So exciting
@Mbry0625: I think she filed with all 3 but won’t it be rejected if they transmit it or they all gonna go thru
I just got notified my return was accepted by the IRS.
@Stheresa: When it’s accepted, it will say accepted. Also, you will probably get an email and text as well. When did you file?
@CAquel20: Congrats!!! kids
@CAquel20: I have not received the email from TT but checked mine and it says received.
@Nikki_1220: As long as she only filed with one she should be OK.
@Sheila_33: question my friend went to 3 different tax company to try and get a loan and now she’s been accepted with one bar what’s gonna happen
@Sheila_33: Did you update the same Friday you were accepted or the next week?
@Mbry0625: yes. I was processed and done by the first weekly update. Just had to wait for the freeze to lift. I’m hoping it goes that well this year
@Sheila_33: holy moly did you have an easy year last year? besides PATH
@Mbry0625: I went back and looked at last years comments and saw where I posted that I never got an email, but was accepted. Same day as last year…what are the odds? lol
@CAquel20: Yes. Congrats!
If anyone is interested, I Just got the email from turbo tax that my federal return was accepted. Wmr is on one bar “return received”. Guessing that means I’m part of the test batch?
@Sheila_33: yay! finally!
Tax act filed 3rd accepted today
@Nikki_1220: No email but I went and checked my return and it was accepted an hour ago. FreeTax did the same thing to me last year.
@Monee: yay!
I have been accepted!!! Woot woot! Even tho I’m on path lol
@Sheila_33: hey was your return accepted yet
Back to this lovely site for the 3rd year in a row! Hope everyone is doing well :)
