1/25 filers!

I’m assuming everybody got their money?

What other tax blogs are out there

Honestly, I was in your boat. I filed 1/18 and was accepted as part of the test batch. I called on 21 days and the woman said no returns were processed before 1/23 and that’s when I had to count my 21 days starting so I did l. I knew I’m a weekly filer from years prior and I was getting so nervous. Monday would have been 21 days and I woke up yesterday to a refund approved and instead of a DDD date a message saying they are mailing my check 2/17/16 because it’s over 10k. I also lost bars on 2/4 so don’t loose hope!

Should be there 2 days earlier than you DDD says… From what I have been reading it’s been 2 days .. If you have a netspend card you should get it immediately

Has anyone ever received the direct deposit BEFORE the DDD on the IRS WMR page?

I filed 1/25 accepted the same day within minutes. No Eic or any other deductions. Lost bars on 2/3. I knew it was under review. I haven’t received ANY correspondence or letters from the irs. I’m unable to order transcripts. I had to verify my identity last year and because of my new address change I was certain since I lost my bars I was going to have to do it again.

Frustrated I called the irs and pretended to have recv’d the letter. I called the id verification line. I gave them all of my info and she began to ask me a series of questions (confirming my suspicion my refund was flagged to verify my id).
I haven received the letter yet I just thought I could bypass getting the letter.

Well I was wrong after answering all of her questions the agent (who was very nice and helpful btw) asked for the control #. She couldn’t go any further until she had that info. It’s the most ridiculous thing I couldn’t keep the lie going so I thanked her and told her I would call back.

It’s aggravating! I am still waiting for the irs to send me the damn letter. I know it’s just been 2 weeks but I had a simple return and I when I called to verify my id (without the letter) I was able to answer all the questions.

When bars go missing it’s never a good thing. If u are lucky it’s a quick fix. However they are cracking down on fraudulent activity. But honest tax payers are inconvenienced in the process.

They need to hurry up and send the letter so that I can get my money

Ddd for the 15! Finally!

Married-joint

Nice sized refund
Just was able to view account transcript
Code 846-refund issued
Cycle 20170605

@Kristen1983 I am in the same boat. Simple return, no dependents, no EITC, none of my info is any different from past 3 years. Filed 1/25 and was texted saying my federal taxes were accepted before I even left H&R block. My tax preparer was still putting together the paperwork they give you as you leave when I got the text. From what I’ve been reading, a lot of people are saying that in years passed, WMR did not update until after they already received the direct deposit. Crossing my fingers for that. My refund has never taken this long, not even when I was still receiving paper checks!

I’ll cross my fingers for us all in this boat!
Also, how would I find out if I am daily or weekly? What do those terms even mean?

Are any other 1/25 people seeing no movement??? Filed and accepted 1/25. One bar still able to order account transcriptt last week. Still can’t order return and still one bar!

Filed/accepted 1/25: No eic or other credits. 1 bar but can’t order either transcript yet.

Y’all are not alone. Good luck & patience for all!

Filed 1/25
Accepted less than an hour later.
1 bar WMR
Hr Block online. No EIC

My DDD has never been right. In fact, last year, I received my DD a week before WMR updated. Same with the year before. It was exactly 3 weeks after I filed that I received it the last two years filing with HR Block online. Be patient folks. Looks like we will get them next week.

Still waiting my self no credits or letters in mail just on one bar since the 25th/26th 1 w2 married joint simple return

Filed and accepted 25th/26th still at one bar I might just scream if I don’t update Friday night simple 1 w2 easy married joint return wth is taking so long no credits

Still waiting… filed 1/25
Not one peep of an update except to PATH… smh

Good to hear @Joe.

See you next year, think I’m a ‘weekly’ so I’ll be here all… the time. The whole time. 😞

Accepted 1/25

Received DD into my account overnight.

Good luck to you all still waiting.

filed/accepted Wednesday 1/25

approved Wednesday 2/8 (today)

DDD Friday 2/10

AOTC (education) Only w/ w2

Hey guys. Single filing, 1/27 and woke up to an approval and DDD of 2/10. Hopefully everyone else comes soon

Filed/accepted 1/25 with both credits, able to order account transcript 1/31 and able to order my return transcript 2/7. 2/8 WMR updated to PATH message

Still no updates for me. Stuck at one at l bar and tt152. Ordered account transcripts last week but still can’t order return. Uuugggghhhhb

I am in the same boat. I filed 1/25, was accepted about 5 min later. No dependents no EITC. The refund schedule that the IRS put out originally said I would receive my refund direct deposit on 2/3.. The WMR is still on 1 bar, no path act message. Wtf is going on this year?

Filed/accepted 1/25 with both credits, able to order account transcript 1/31 and stuck on 1 bar tt 152. Finally able to order my return transcript tonight. I hope I see positive movement in the morning.

Ok i received both my transcripts in the mail today cycle 20170405
Processing 02-13-2017
But no DDD yet

I filed & accepted 1/25
Have both credits
Still only 1 bar and tt 152
Can only order return transcript for about a week now
Hopefully I see positive movement in the morning.

File on the 25th accepted within 2 minutes, one bar until the 27th or 28th then went to PATH message. I ordered both transcript on the 30th by mail other than that just waiting.

I’m hanging put in PATH act limbo. The unknown gives me anxiety, lol. Just now knowing if the 16th will bring approved, a DD or something else. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly and nothing breaks, lol.

Heya guys just checking in.

1/25 Filed (and accepted).

2/03 Bars disappeared.

2/04 Able to (finally) order Account Transcripts. Still can’t order return.

Was finally able to order oh transcripts late last night and woke up with a DDD of 2/8!

Okay I was able to order account transcript yesterday. But no update today. What does that mean. No credits no kids just simple return. I’m assuming I’m a weekly and won’t get my dd until Friday. Last year I got it on a Friday. So confused

Just checked wmr and got a DDD of 2/8! I can also order all of my transcripts today, when I couldn’t last night. I was cycle 20170505, so I didn’t change from last year

Was able to order transcripts but no movement on wmr. Ugh

DDD: 2/8 updated this morning.

Filed 1/25

filed the 25th accepted same day, just got DDD now for 2/8

Just finally ordered both transcripts.. from my understanding, we should have our ddd tomorrow am, don’t recall from years past. Assuming no earned income or additional child tax credit that is.

You have inspired me.

http://alienstoner.com/rants/taxquest.html

What does it mean exactly when we can order our transcripts?

@bob

Just keep checking! It should change tonight.

What does it mean if I can order return transcript but not account?

Yes! Finally able to order account transcript!

Filed on the 25th no credits, accepted 1 hour later. Just able to order my transcripts February 3rd at 5 30 so should get DDD later today or tomorrow

I just ordered my refund transcripts. That’s a good sign right?? That means I should be seeing my DDD in the morning. Oh I hope so! Im hoping this means I was approved and will be getting my deposit on 2/8. We will see in the morning, god willing.

Y’all pray and keep checking! He is listening.

@ Brandy I read it off of several refund help forums. They all said that today, throughout the entire business day, transcripts will be updated for most people to order. If you check and can’t order them, try back a little later as it will continuously update throughout.

The wmr site will have a HUGE update for Saturday (tomorrow) morning around 3-5 a.m. This should include most of us 1/25 filers and before. It should update to two bars with a DDD of 2/8.

I really really really hope and pray this is it!

Filed & accepted 1/25

1 Bar :/

No credits.

Married joint, 3 kids (plain ctc only), no eic, no actc, filed real late 1/24, accepted real early 1/25, only 1st bar, neither transcript allows me to order.

Now I am getting nervous! :-| I filed 1/25 & was accepted 1/25, about 2 hrs after filing. No dependents or EITC, everythings the same as years past. The schedule the IRS put out said I should have the deposit in my account on 2/3.. Right now it’s 5:50 am EST, and I still only have one bar. I think I saw somewhere that the updates are in Pacific time (3 hrs behind EST) and that the IRS updates between 3 & 6 AM. Hoping this is true as I am getting REALLY nervous!! Does anybody have any idea if they really do update on Cali time?

Hello
@Hannnnnnah, where did you read online about the big update on Saturday?

Filled 1/25 TT Free Edition
Accepted within an hour
DDD 2/1
Received 2/1

Best wishes everyone!

IRS works really fast this year. Filed 1/25, got DDD 2/3 for federal and state

Just read online that there’s a huge update coming Saturday. People without the credits will get a ddd of 2/8. Everyone PRAY we all get a good update. I’m driving myself CRAZY.

Filed and accepted on 1/25, one bar tax topic 152. Hoping to see movement tonight when WMR updates.

It’s odd . I haven’t seen anyone who filed on the 25th with bars are a ddd. I’m not saying there is absolutely no one that doesn’t have a date yet. However based on the website u follow I haven’t seen anyone from Jan 25 with no Eic have a ddd or even received refund! It’s only been a week so
I won’t bother the irs but I still find it odd no bars and no date filing Jan 25

Just checked, one bar, no transcripts still. It sucks seeing that someone who filed on 1/29 already received a DDD of 02/03 :(. Where’s my refund IRS?? 😭

Filed and accepted 1/25. Still 1 bar. No love.

I filed 1/25, got a text that federal taxes had been accepted about 2 hrs after filing, state got accepted about 2 days later (Massachusetts). I am still at one bar… Really hoping it moves. According to the schedule the IRS put out, it’s saying it should be deposited onto my h&r block emerald card on 2/3 (fri). REALLY hoping it comes through by 2/3! It seems like the last few years my federal was back extremely quickly. Ofcourse, I was not as anxious about receiving it in the past; I did not really need it by a certain date to pay anything important. This yr is a little different as Im on LOA from work for the next few weeks, and need the money as quickly as possible! Has anybody who both filed & were accepted 1/25 received their direct deposit yet? Crossing fingers for tomorrow or Friday! No dependents or EITC. My tax preparer told me that the IRS usually deposits on a Thurs or Fri.. But I have heard all different days. So not sure about that, but am wishfully thinking! :) Keep us updated if anybody has already received or does receive their federal direct deposit!
Thanks!

Accepted 1/25

still 1 bar

Filed and accepted 1/25 at 9pm est. Refund was higher this year and had switched back to old address. Not sure if that’s causing delay but still stuck on one bar! Really thought it would be a 2/3 DDD

I pulled my taxes last year to check my cycle, and it was 20160505, and I recieved my deposti on a Monday (I was in a test batch that kept getting re-sequenced :/) so if it will be the same this year, then I expect to be in cycle 20170505, which will put my processing date starting tomorrow and hopefully a DDD by 02/13 at the latest. I hate being a weekly :(

Any 1/25 filers that have eic or other credits affected by the Path act receive a DDD today?

As of this I can order Account transcript but not return. Every year I’m able to order my account transcript first, a day later the return, and the deposit is normally in my bank a few days later. I guess I’ll be waiting until the 15th this year since I have both of the credits.

1/25 accepted

1 bar unfortunately.

If there is a tax topic 152 on my wmr, does that mean I wont get my refund until after the 15th?? I checked my tax thing and there’s no number beside the EIC box meaning I didnt claim anything there I think and I don’t have any children to claim> Can someone please help me? Because I am FREAKING out worrying about when Ill get my DDD date.

Thanks for any and all help/

File 1/25 have the credits
Accepted 1/25
1/29 – 1 bar tax topic 152
Can’t order transcripts yet. Hoping to see positive movement tomorrow then just wait for deposit to be released on the 15th.

Still one bar :( Usually update sat-Sunday so was hoping for the 2/1 ddd but guess next Saturday is the day …

Still showing 1 bar over here, lucky Iowa getting a DDD already. I remember last year that my taxes took forever to get the DDD, but I was part of the test group that kept getting pushed back until the IRS realized what was happening…..I’m hoping I see some movement soon with a DDD of 2/5. Hoping I don’t have to wait until 2/10. I’d like to be one of those quick refund people for once! No EIC or ACTC, but I do have education credits (last year I can claim it :( )

I filed and was accepted 1/25, mine updated yesterday to a ddd of 2/1.

__________________________________________________________

I have never had a correct DDD date. I file with both H&R as well as Turbo Tax, depends on my mood! I believe I’m weekly simply because I don’t see the movement others do. Truthfully, I tend to get my deposit same time the WMR updates to tell me. I assume that’s because Netspend deposit the moment they receive it, with no delay. More than once I received my deposit beforehand with only 1 Bars showing on WMR. I depend on all of you for hope every year. Thank God for you guys! Like most of you, I awoke to a message about the path statement after having only 1 bar. I have religiously followed this blog for 3 years. I believe the path statement is positive because I have searched this year for anyone other than ” Land or Anna” that received ddd dates while claiming EIC I found none. Hang Tight, 2 weeks comes quicker than we think. God Speed to all those trying to hold family till then, I’m there. In the words of Anthony Hopkins ” What one man can do another can do!” Stay Positive!!! Follow you Instincts! We are all guessing but inside remaining positive.

I filed 1/25, accepted about 2 hours later. I was sitting at 1 bar and Tax Topic 152. Mine updated overnight to the PATH act message. I’m able to order both transcripts. I didn’t have the ACTC but I did claim EIC. I know it will be after the 15th but it’s a positive thing for me. Just wanted to share. Good luck everyone!!

I filed 1/25 accepted same day. Yesterday 1 bar this morning message about I will have to check back after 2/15. My son filed 1/25 and have DDD 2/1 he has no EIC

Filed 1/25 no EIC OR ADDITIONAL AND I WAS APPROVED SAME DAY. This morning DDD 2/1

Still one bar. At least they’re still there lol! I know from my transcripts last year (which as far as 20 mins ago I can’t order yet) my cycle code ended in 05 which meant I’m a “weekly” and only update Saturday mornings.. aka overnight tonight. I don’t remember when but I am sure last year it did update sometime over the weekend but once again I don’t remember that exactly lol. Guess we will see .. it’s only been 2 days but like I said I got mine in 4 days last year!!

Filed 1/25

No eic or actc

Three dependents and filing joint

Federal accepted within minutes

State was accepted in a few hours

1 bar as of now

Still at one bar on WMR aka the “it has been received.” People keep saying they’ve been accepted already and what they really mean is that the IRS has received it not approved. So still one bar .. I think it’ll be slower this year. I kid you not last year I got mine in FOUR days from the day I filed to the day it was in my bank! I claimed the education credits last year but not this year. Just a simple return but I bet it’ll be delayed still somehow. Go figure right lol

I now have 1 bar and it says processing! Yay!

Filed on 1/25 around 7 pm. My federal was accepted after an hour and state was accepted the following morning. One bar so far. Claim 1 dependent.

I filed yesterday 1/25/17 at about 4pm and received an email from HR Block stating that it had been accepted. I just tried going through the “where’s my refund” tool and there is 0 info, like they have not gotten it. I have 0 credits, nothing out of the ordinary for a filing. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks!
