I filed on 2/3 and have never gotten any information from WMR or the hotline. I filed at Jackson Hewitt and Republic can’t find me in their system either.

Hello! I filed on 2/3 and accepted within one hour. Have been a ghost until today. Checked the WMR site and finally had ” being processed and you should receive your refund by 3/6 unless,blah, blah. However, I was able to order transripts so I’m not sure if it is still processing or actually completed.

After I received a DD of 3/6 I rechecked WMR on 2/19 and had a hard DDD of 2/24 which has not changed. Keeping my fingers crosed!

@Sheshe, That is great that you have the 24th update! I hope it comes through for you! WMR is still giving me the same “by 3/6” message:( I wonder if you ordering your transcripts pushed it along a little faster for you? Idk if I should try it or not…kinda scared to irritate them & they never send them!

In 2005, the IRS tightened the rules for head of uohsehold.Previously, you could claim HOH if your adult child lived with you no matter how much money they made. Now, you must also be able to claim that child as a dependent and that meant their income has to be less than $3500.Previously (for 1 or 2 years *only*), you could even claim HOH if you had a child that you treated as your own living with you all year. Now, that child had to be a qualifying child related to you by blood or marriage. The child of a roommate, girlfriend or cousin does not qualify.While most preparers noticed and followed the rule changes, some didn’t. While most preparers quizzed their clients to ensure they actually met the rules, some simply heard I-did-it-last-year and did it again.As for HRB, did you have the extra cost insurance that said HRB would actually pay for the mistakes, including tax, or just the regular professional courtesy that they would try to assist with an amended return and consider paying the penalties?Ultimately, the tax return is your paperwork. Ultimately, the information on the return and tax bill are yours. If you owe higher taxes, then it’s yours to pay.
