Reply To: WMR Take Action Message

[madjon435]

Starting this thread to keep people updated who receive this message on WMR: Big red exclamation mark that says TAKE ACTION. Also says to contact them at 1-800-829-0582 x 319 and gives a reference #. No date regarding sending me any paperwork, so doesn’t seem to be same message as others are receiving regarding under review.

Background:
Had not filed 2010 or 2011 tax returns, received unemployment and did NOT have taxes taken out. I paper filed these with HRB when I filed my 2012 return. I owed almost $300 for 2010 nothing for 2011. I mailed these returns about 2 weeks ago and I am hoping that they have already received these, just not sure how long it will take to process these.
Filed with: HRB on the 1/19
Accepted: 1/30
WMR: Processing until today, received this awful update: TAKE ACTION
Order transcripts: Return transcript: Yes; 2012 on 2/1 No; 2010 (account transcript only), 2011 (neither)
Called offset # 1-800-304-3107 and has no record of offsets for myself or my husband.
Filling status:
2012: MFJ, 2 dependents, EIC and child tax credit
2011: MFJ, unemployment 1099 no dependents
2010: MFJ, unemployment 1099 no dependents

My situation is tricky and was somewhat prepared for a delay, but am still scared because I really need money right now.

I’m sure your going to already, but definitely call the IRS on Monday. They should be able to give you a time frame if this is what is happening. I wouldn’t expect them to be done for at least 6-8 weeks if that’s the problem and wouldn’t be surprised if it was longer, since its tax season. Prior year tax returns are always put to the side for current years. But, I wouldn’t worry about it until to speak to someone and find out first.
