I filed early, but, due to the education credits… my return was rejected on the 30th.  I then resubmitted them, taking out the credits.  I will amend later.  My return was received on the 31st FROM the IRS.  (I think a lot of people get the wrong impression from the company they used when they get their first text, email etc. stating that there return was accepted)  My return in still in processing on Feb. 3rd.  I am hoping it changes by tomorrow.  I think with so many people not giving it a few days and calling, ordering transcripts, overloading the WMR site…  That systems crashed, answers are left unanswered and everyone gets nowhere.  My fear though is… FOR THE PAST 3 years, I have continually fell into some sort of problem with the IRS and their system that processes the returns.  I have read about the new MEF system and how it updates.  There ARE NO batching of filers anymore.  It is on a per filing basis.  The system will be running 24/7.  DD are suppose to be everyday (except Sundays).  I am personally nervous that WMR is still in processing mode.  Is anyone else in the same boat>  RECEIVED ON THE 31st and STILL PROCESSING?  Thanks….

Im lost, so many people i know filed Monday 2/4/13 and have been approved and received refunds. I filed 1/30/13 and in still being processed.i called to ask why i couldn’t check my status thru automated services and the first lady was rude and told me it hasn’t been 21 days so i need to wait. I called back and got another lady who was rude at first then became nice explaining to me that the system picks randomly and for me to check only once a day to keep the system from jamming.some people check several times a day and nothing has changed for them because the system only updates over night, those people are causing the system to back up. I then asked her why i couldn’t order my transcript and that i was told that if i couldn’t order them then something was wrong, she said that was not true. She then repeatedly that so many people are doing that and tattoo is jamming. So i guess im just left here with the system jammed and not know anything….ugh!
