          My story…Submitted taxes through TurboTax on 01/30/13. Finally accepted on 02/14/13 due to Education Tax Credit delay. Checked WMR for a few weeks and it stayed on processing. Checked again on 03/11/13 and received the dreadful notice that refund has been applied to past tax obligations. Filled out form 8379 on 03/13/13 and mailed it in. Form recieved by IRS on 03/15/13. Waited patiently until 05/10/13. I called on 05/10/13 and sat on hold for 1 hour. Finally spoke to an agent and he said that the system shows that all needed paperwork has been received, my case just hasn’t been assigned to anyone yet. He said that he’d go ahead and assign it to himself and take care of it that night or Monday. I called back on 05/31/13 and another agent researched my case and all paperwork that is needed is there but it hasn’t been assigned to anyone >.< He took my number and put in a referral. However, I’m not holding my breath since he said “they” have up to 45 days to call me back.

            Called TA for a referral and was contacted last Friday. We we’re told our money was “stuck” in the system. TA put a code in to force our refund to post back to the IRS from Financial Management and that it had to be done by June 4. Hoping it won’t take to much longer to be direct deposit to our account. TA said our injured spouse was assigned to someone over 6 different times. This has been a very frustrating process!!!!

              Hi All,

              I had filed electronically form 8379 by accident and did not realize this until I was told by IRS rep that I had this form which would take 11-14 weeks. My accepted date is March12th – It is close to 12 weeks and still waiting. Please let me know what actions I should be taking, not sure if I should order any transcripts and done by others in this forum – My IRS refund status shows as still being processed. rgds, prithvi

                Hello, I thought I’d share my latest IRS drama and see if anyone has some advice.

                We mailed our tax and injured spouse end of Feb. Injured spouse however didn’t show up until 4/4. Not quite sure how that happened but we we’re told that it was being processes as being received separate and was given an 8 week time frame. Called today and spoke with someone in injured spouse and was told that in the beginning of may our last names kicked out a red flag since they are different…..keep in mind we have been filing this way for 7 years. Then we are told that our 8 week wait will actually start today. Does anyone else think this is ridiculous? Time and time again we have been told that there are no problems with the injured spouse……time and time again we are told that we should have our money today. Does anyone think that the tax advocate service might be of some help?

                We don’t live in a community property state and my spouse is the only one that works. I just feel like we have been given the run around time and time again and it is soooooo frustrating!!!!!

                  Hi everyone,

                  I’ve been lurking for about a week now. We filed 1/29, accepted not long after (I’m blanking on the date I think it was 2/3) and on 2/17 WMR changed to say it had been intercepted and sent to debts.
                  We filed IS 2/18. A week later we received the letter that basically said they had what they needed, don’t call unless you have a question, we’ll be in touch etc.

                  We’ve been semi-regularly checking WMR but not obsessively because we expected we’d get a letter from the IRS. Randomly I checked on 5/19 and it changed to “We have received your tax refund and it is being processed.”

                  I called the offset number and it still says it’s been allocated to debts (totally the entire refund).

                  We’re going on 16 weeks from when we originally filed our return, 14 weeks from filing IS.

                    @lisa120484 I dont know your situation but you might want to try what I did because I am horrified to say they had an error in calculating my numbers! Read entire story below!

                    @KissMyAsthma thank you for your advice and I think my husband was on the same page as you although I had given up the idea of spending another hour or two on the phone with IRS.

                    Got home from work Tuesday and hubby was already on the phone with IRS for 45 minutes, he had already been transferred once. He said its best I talk to the next operator cause I prepped our taxes and know our numbers better. The operator was extremely rude and semi racist. She told me several times “I will repeat this one more time since you dont understand english well” “That is not a proper sentence” etc. I have an accent but most people around me assume I have been raised in the US since I am fluent at speaking English, so this was new to me. I think that was her strategy to make me feel bad and hang up. She kept throwing three numbers at me (which I realized probably appear on her computer screen and that is all she knows about my account) I kept repeating “the math doesnt add up!” how can someone who earned 89% of the income get less taxe refunded to them than someone who only made 11% of the income. She said its the education credits. I said we already subtracted that and it still has over a grand missing. She kept subtracting the education credits TWICE! Eventually when I said lets work the sheet out together she said she will transfer me over to another department “the ADVANCED Injured Spouse”. But she continued snickering and laughing saying “trust me you are not going to get a dime more. You owe a debt and you must pay it”
                    My luck at the other department was much better. The lady on the phone was really nice. She said she doesnt trust other people’s math and will do it all over again. She also had access to all my documents. Within 2 seconds of looking at it I kid you not she said “you have been underpaid, there is a mistake” She tells me I am getting well over a grand that was taken by mistake. Now here is the issue they need to fix something in their system IT related which will take 3 to 4 weeks. Then they will reenter my numbers and send me the difference. The lady was kind enough to give me her name and ID number and said she will put enough notes in my account so people will know what is going on.

                    Sorry for the long story but you can see how horrible it is that someone is rude to us and mistreating all of us and guess what they don’t even know what they are talking about. Their basic math is messed up and they cant add up numbers! I’ll say everyone please rework and verify your numbers!

                    Also the old nice lady said they didn’t touch most of the Injured spouse cases till May! So there you go it is confirmed that they just didn’t touch them! So much for telling us to wait 11 weeks! Might as well say we dont touch them instead of us making us wait on hands and knees everyday!

                      Hi everyone,

                      Just wanted to update… I checked WMR and it stated our refund was processed and we would be receiving our refund today and if it is not received by the 27th then to call our bank. I called the offset line after checking WMR to see how much was offset to the VA on my husband’s behalf and it gave two amounts… the amounts totalled our entire refund! So I guess it’s safe to say we wont get anything back. So depressing! Has anyone else experienced this or is there still hope we might get something? This was our first, and hopefully last, year filing injured spouse. In a way I guess it’s good if they take our whole return, though we could have used it definitely, but at least the debt will get paid off quicker (just trying to think positive), but were still pretty upset about it.

                        @s_m i would call them. ask for them for the following be. this is straight from their website. if you want to google it i typed in ” irs irm” then select “refund offset”. its like a manual for their people to follow. good luck

                        When the taxpayer disagrees or does not understand the injured spouse allocation by the IRS:

                        If you work at a remote call site, and you don’t have access to CIS to view the Form 8379 Allocation Worksheet or do not work injured spouse allocations, transfer the call to 92035 Application 35 if it meets the criteria in paragraph 8 below.

                        If you work injured spouse allocations, verify the Form 8379 Allocation Worksheet. After verifying the allocation is correct, send the taxpayer a copy of the Form 8379Allocation Worksheet. The Form 8379Allocation Worksheet should be on the CIS case file, if not pull the Form 8379 Allocation Worksheet.

                          So I got my refund!!! The date vanished and two days later it was in my hand which was Friday 17th of May.

                          Now I have to ask you all’s opinion on this one. My husband had education credits and his income was only 5% of our total income. I was expecting a certain amount after they take away the entire education credit. Turns out they took the same amount of refund away as the amount that got refunded to me. My confusion is how can someone who made 95% of the income gets the same amount as the person who made 5% and gave up their share to the govt? Am I being insane here? I am planning to contact IRS and ask them for an explanation but a part of me wants to just give up. What do you all think?

                            Thanks for the hope KissMyAsthma I have been thinking the same thing myself but cant hardly bring myself to wish too much… I just don’t understand why they do things so many different and confusing ways….????

                              TreeStone, from what i have heard when that message about refund date… is nolonger there you should be getting ur refund in a matter of days. it seems some people will be getting DD tomorrow. hopefully u will be part of that group.

                              FYI the irs will be closed this friday, their call center and all their agents. no returns or anything for that matter will be processed that day.

                                Yesterday was 2 weeks that my case was closed. I called last thursday and she told me that it was closed 5/6 and then sent to the computer 5/7 so today will make it 2 weeks today that it was in the computer. It was supposed to give me a DD date by today. Saturday my WMR changed and the italics about the date will be posted when available was gone and it said my return was being processed……. STILL NOTHING!!!!!!! Has anyone else dealt with the WMR not changing right? What does it mean?

                                  Update:

                                  Efiled & accepted: 02/28
                                  IS form mailed: week of 03/11
                                  WMR changed from offset info to “processing”: 05/11
                                  Rcvd letter from IRS stating new refund amount: 05/16 (letter also said check would arrive in 2-3 weeks)
                                  Check rcvd from IRS: 05/20

                                  WMR is still showing “processing” and was never updated again. I had originally asked for my refund to be DD but received a check instead. Good luck to all of those still watiing!!

                                    Well, at some point over the weekend, or Friday, the offset line is now showing the amount being sent to the DOE, and a date of the 22nd. I am hoping that that means that we will also receive our portion of the refund on the 22nd. Here’s hoping! So glad to hear that the battle is over for many of you, and I am still fighting with those of your who haven’t seen anything.

                                      Hi, I have been reading the post on this thread for a few weeks. We E-filed with H&R block (with 8379 form) on 02/16 …..the IRS accepted 02/20. We are now past our 13 th week….called and called. We got a letter from IRS yesterday with the refund amount we will be getting. Letter states give the payment 4 to 6 weeks to be sent. They must be nuts. This our first year filing IS so it has been a hot mess. Please let me know if anyone got same type of letter if so how long did it take to get refund sent to you. thanks in advance

                                            Update, finally! :)

                                            Summary:

                                            Filed electronically and accepted 2/8
                                            Referral requested at 11 weeks
                                            WMR updated 5/18 with a DDD of 5/22

                                            A few tips for those hitting the 11 week mark:

                                            When you call the IRS and ask for a referral, make sure you tell them you are having a monetary hardship, and give them examples (behind on bills, overdue on rent, etc.) …if they document these hardships with the referral, you will get a call back within 5 business days. If they do not document any hardships, you could be waiting 30 days for a TA to return your call. Once you do speak with a TA, as long as everything seems fine with your return he/she should tell you that they are giving the IRS a deadline to complete processing, along with a follow up date that they will call you back on, and another date that everything should be wrapped up by.

                                            As others have said, if your TA doesn’t call (or is a slacker like the IRS person handling your return) call your local congressman. Sometimes that’s just what it takes to put a boot in their arse.

                                            Anyway, a bit over 14 weeks but it looks like we’re all set. Hoping that the money shows up earlier than the DDD, like it did for a few last week.

                                            Hang in there everyone!

                                              I have been reading the posts on this thread for weeks now and just waiting for my return, but got tired today as it’s been 14 weeks since my return was accepted and no news. I called the irs through one of the numbers and ext listed above and the very rude woman told me that my refund with IS form had been processed on Monday and that I would see my return in 2-3 weeks. I tried to kill her with kindness and she was still irratible and short with me. Anyway, my question is has anyone been told the same thing, that their refund had been processed and they had to wait 2-3 weeks and it actually was true? I hate to get my hopes up only to be let down. Thanks.

                                                I started lurking around this forum a few weeks ago and am quickly growing concerned and intimidated as I read all of your “horror” stories.
                                                Let me preface that this is the first time I have ever had to file an IS Form. Our tax situation has some less than common elements and I thought a letter and supporting documentation might make my Injured Spouse claim that much stronger. As such, I **MAILED** our joint tax return along with the IS Form and supporting documentation on March 8, 2013. About a week later, the WMR tool updated with the standard message about my return being processed.

                                                I am wondering if there was anyone else crazy enough (I claim ignorance) to have paper-filed their return and IS Form and can tell me how long they had to wait or continue to wait for a refund.

                                                I have yet to make a single call to the IRS but after reading so many comments, I suspect I need to get on the bandwagon. What has been the most successful phone number that everyone has been calling?

                                                Thanks to everyone for their advise and support.

                                                  Well, spoke to my TA earlier. He said the IRS rep handling our case processed it by the deadline he gave them (5/8) but that he couldn’t see anything more, as it was “tied up” in the system. He said most things post between Wed-Fri each week, so he’s hoping to see an update with a DD soon. Unfortunately, he said it could takes weeks though for the system to release a date. Tomorrow is 14 weeks, he said he’d call us back on the 30th of this month, which will put us at 16 weeks since the return was accepted. He makes no guarantees that we’ll even have a DD at that time, it could take another few weeks beyond that point. So we may be looking at 20+ weeks for our return, which he assured us was error free and simply being held up because “the IRS is behind.” We’re not holding our breath anymore. Right now, we’ll be suprised if we get it by the end of summer the way things are going. This is complete nonsense.

                                                    Hi everyone! Like others, I have been following for some time now. Your comments have been such a help to me! I have decided to tell everyone about my story and hopefully some of you will be able to lead me in the right direction.

                                                    We filed on 2/6 but had the education tax credit so it was subbmitted to the IRS on 2/14. However, they didn’t accept it until 2/28. This being my second year filing IS, I knew it would take around 8 weeks…as it did last year. After not hearing from the IRS around 8 weeks, I decided to call them. THye gave me the same old “11 weeks” crap. That being said, today, 5/16 would be 11 weeks from 2/28. I called on 5/14 to make sure there weren’t any issues. THe rep I spoke with said on 5/12 someone was in my account and I sould receive my refund in 2-4 weeks. Say what??? You’re kidding right? So, I called back on 5/15 because I figured I could talk to someone more helpful. No such luck. They said to wait an additional 4 weeks. Thinking my check would be in the mail to today, it was a total let down when it wasn’t. I was like a little girl in the window waiting for our mailman. So I call the IRS again. The rep was so rude to me!!!! He said, “ma’am what did they tell you the last time you called?” Ummm…excuse me? I’m pretty sure my tax dollars are paying your hourly wage, so you work for me right? I was so frustrated that I hung up and tried to keep the tears from rolling down my face. I don’t want my 4 year old to see me this upset. As of right now, my checking account is in the negitive, we’re about to get evicted, and my sons birthday is on the 19th :(

                                                      Per the IRS and IS Offset they received monies yesterday which is strange because I have heard that the IRS only mails checks out on Fridays which I assume they will do this week. The Offset line say they received monies 5/15/13. I am not sure how the monies are disbursed to those debtors i.e. Student Loans are Child Support agencies if it is by wire or check. I have been told that the IRS sends out checks once a week and only on Fridays which means that they will mail out my check this Friday which is the 17th. I don’t understand how the offset place said a dollar amount was “applied 5/15/13” and the IRS Rep told me my IS portion was released 5/15/13. Totally confused as to when it was mailed. As of yesterday there was nothing in my mail but I am hopeful it will comes ASAP :-)

                                                        Thanks @tiredofwaiting99. I agree we should not have to go through this crap. I don’t plan on ever filing an injured spouse form again. I will do married filing separately from now on….Have you gotten your refund yet?

                                                          I am so happy for you @brokeandfrustrated you had to go through so much to get your refund. We are taxpaying citizens we should not have to go through this crap. It is no wonder that the IRS is catching hell now.

                                                            Good news finally! :) Our refund was in the bank this morning, as the TA told us it would be. Not that I am praising our TA, because she wasn’t doing crap until we got in touch with our congressman. Only then did she do her job. I highly recommend getting it touch with your congressman or senator. Had we not done that, we would not have even been aware that there was a problem with our return that the IRS didn’t bother to tell us about and it would still be sitting there untouched. Thank God this long wait is over!! Praying that everyone gets their money soon! God bless! :)

                                                              Congrats to those that have gotten their refunds!

                                                              Friday will be 14 weeks here. The WMR has not changed, and our TA is supposed to call tomorrow with an update. He gave the IRS until last Thursday to “wrap it up” but apparently the woman assigned to it is still painting her nails or something along those lines. Hopefully our TA has some good news for us.

                                                                UPDATE: I called the IRS yesterday and spoke to a nice lady named Mrs. Walker she told me that we should be receiving a DD on 05/15. She also told me two amounts, one is coming to us and the other is going to an offset amount. I explained to her why we filed the IS and that we have payment arrangements set up with the school loan department. She said that’s a misconception that people have. She said even though we have arrangements set up there is still nothing stopping them from taking the refund. She said there is a debt indicator attached to my SSN and if I can get them to take that off then they will not take our refund anymore.

                                                                This morning I looked in my bank account and the money was there :) FINALLY! But the wired thing is before I checked my bank account I checked the WMR website and it still said WE HAVE RECEIVED YOUR TAX RETURN AND IT IS BEING PROCESSED. Which is a complete lie because we have our money!!!!

                                                                So I called the offset number to find out where the other part of our refund went. And of course it went toward our school loans like Mrs. Walker said. So I then proceed to call them and told them that we are set up on a payment plan every month but our refund was still taken. The rep said that she will send us a financial hardship form to fill out and we may be able to get part of our money back. She also look at our account and said that she see that we are making payments and that will work in our favor. So I have another battle coming up. Hopefully we will get a portion of that back. Me and my husband talked about it last night and even though we should let them keep it so that can go toward our loans but will need some of that money back to pay our bills.

                                                                Filed electronic taxes: 02/20/2013

                                                                I want to wish everyone out there GOOD LUCK and hopefully you will receive you taxes as well!!!!!!!!!

When they receive the date the IRS will issue the allocation for the offset, you will also have a date available for your portion too. I called this Monday and got the information on the offset number that will receive $$$$$ May 15th. I also called 1-800-829-0582 ext 362 or 462 number yesterday and they told me my portion amount and a date of May 15th that it would be released. I am assuming checks are mailed Fridays right.

                                                                    Keep checking the offset number. Until you hear “we have received an offset for” then you will not your portion is coming.

I am not counting on anything at this point, I will believe it when I call the bank in the morning and the money is there. After all the lies we have been told I don’t believe anything the IRS says, but it seems getting in touch with our congressman did help move things along, because the TA wasn’t doing crap until he got involved. Praying hard that our refund will be in our account tomorrow morning! Good luck to all of you still waiting.

                                                                        I mailed in my injured spouse form after the tax return was submitted. According to the IRS, it was in their system as of 03/10/13. I called once which is when I got that date and didn’t bother after that after reading these posts.

                                                                        I got a check in the mail today for the exact amount I was expecting. “Where’s my Refund” did change from “your tax return has been offset for past debt” to “your return is being processed” (which it still says). I am not sure when since I had given up checking a week or two ago.

                                                                        So, I think that may be a good sign when it changes!

I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing……I just hope we get some type of answer this week. More than likely I will be giving them a call on Wednesday!!!

That’s all it says, no amount or anything. I find it strange that child support doesn’t have their share yet since the congressman’s rep told me we will have our refund by this Friday. My husband is on a payment plan for his child support arrearage, is it possible they are not going to intercept his part of the refund because of the payment plan? I don’t know what to think now. I guess when the congressman’s rep calls me today I am going to have a lot of questions for her. She told me she would have the amount of our refund for us today, so that will tell us whether they offset it or not.

I am hoping there is a chance they will mail a check… the person i talked to last Monday told me it would be resolved in 4 to 5 days…. then i called back Thursday last week and that lady told me 3 to 4 weeks…. ugh…it’s even worse knowing that it is all done and STILL not here yet… i am going on 14 weeks now… Prayers would be greatly appreciated!!!

The italics telling me a refund date will be provided when available is gone. It still says return is being processed and the amount is still there. Is this a good sign? It is the first change since early March.

Filed first week of March and then received the offset notice on WMR. Mailed IS form on 03/11. Not counting the week that the form was mailed, this is just the end of my 8th week waiting. Today WMR changed from the offset notice to simply say “We have received your tax return and it is being processed.” All o the offset information is gone, yay! I hope that means that WMR will actually update again with a DDD. I also did receive the offset notice from the Treasury Dept in the mail shortly after filing.

It says I’m receiving full amount. The debt is from my wife’s student loans and she had zero income. I seen some others were in similar situations and I thought I’d share.

                                                                                                          Lois Lerner, the director of the I.R.S. division that oversees tax-exempt groups, acknowledged on Friday that the agency had singled out nonprofit applicants with the terms “Tea Party” or “patriots” in their titles.
                                                                                                          “We made some mistakes; some people didn’t use good judgment,” she told reporters on a conference call. “For that we’re apologetic”

                                                                                                          In IRS internal Revenue service manuals state that the 4th amendment doe not apply to email and admits to reading our emails . (if you dont believe me please simply google it)

                                                                                                          I wrote a script of the exact statement and question that I asked and here it is…

                                                                                                          ” Thank you for holding I do appreciate your patients, I don’t show that your return is being reviewed I actually show that your return is going to be deposited on the 15th of this month ” ….I then thanked her and politely ended the phone call.

                                                                                                          I had called the day before and was treated like a bothersome piece of garbage..
                                                                                                          I will update on the 15th when she said my deposit was due!

                                                                                                            i found this forum couple of days ago and just got around to register. my wife is behind on her school loans and had no other choice than to file IS form since we opened a small business and have our second little girl on the way. this is our first year filing the form with out return. it got accepted 2/25 and our 11 weeks should be this monday so here’s me crossing my fingers.

                                                                                                            thank you all for sharing all this info that has allowed me to set realistic goals as to when we might see the money.

                                                                                                                Just curious about something. I just heard a story on my local news where the IRS admits to requiring extra review of certain applications for tax exempt status based on the political nature of the organisation. For example, Tea Party advocates and conservative republican s were targeted for attack based on those political views. The IRS ADMITS TO DOING THIS WHILE STATING THAT IS WAS UNINTENTIONAL . Several major news organisations have also reported how the IRS regularly reads our email without concern fro the 4th amendment and believes that its OK to violate the constitution.
                                                                                                                I know this isn’t a political forum but I would like to pursue this further to determine if some of these ridiculous delays are possibly not legitimate delays but instead a deliberate attack against those who the IRS consider to be political dissidents..
                                                                                                                I would like to know if anyone else has an opinion about this. I would be interested and I believe that some of us might very well be part of the coming class action suit. This is in the national news today if you look..
                                                                                                                Give your thoughts. Are these delays ANOTHER political attack against dissidents.
                                                                                                                I intend to call the IRS today and ASK them if I am being targeted for political reasons.
                                                                                                                I will let you know what I find out.

Our TA is supposed to call us mid-week since the deadline he gave the IS employee assigned to our case was 5/8. Crossing our fingers (and toes!) that he has some good news, since WMR still hasn’t been updated.

She told me to call back next Friday to see if they could give me an expected date then….. seriously?!?

                                                                                                                  • #18534 Reply

                                                                                                                      They told me the IS agent working on my case has 45 days to respond to the inquiry
                                                                                                                      I don’t want to accept that as a response.

                                                                                                                      I’ve waited my 11 weeks….why should I wait another 6?

                                                                                                                      *Le Sigh*

Since talking to our congressman’s rep on Wednesday, there still hasn’t been any change on WMR, and I have been checking the bank and few times a day and no DD either. But the rep said we should have our money by May 17th. I have been told so many different stories I am afraid to get my hopes up. I have been checking the mail too because the rep told us that the IRS person she spoke to didn’t see where we had given the information for direct deposit of our refund to our bank. Which I told her wasn’t so, we did give the lady that prepared our taxes our bank information for direct deposit. I don’t know why the IRS lady couldn’t see that. But I have read on here that others that have elected direct deposit wound up getting a check in mail instead. Praying that this nightmare ends soon for all of us!

                                                                                                                          Filed 2/18/2013 called once or twice always got the standard issue bologny 11 weeks response from the lazy IRS employees, waited the 11 weeks and called yesterday and was fortunate enough to get a guy who only spoke pidgeon english. I guess the IRS is now outsourcing its phone reps from india like every other unproductive company in the world. The rep I talked to told me that is was finished, then told me that it was still processing then told me anyday then I should wait…4 MORE WEEKS ! then he hung up. I called a tax advocate who said that if I got an advocate it might take even longer !!!
                                                                                                                          Now im mad I have since written 2 United States Senators and One Congressman, The congressman had me fill out the consent form from his website and mail it for consent to inquire on my behalf. Congressman Doug Lamborn’s office response to me sending the consent form was to send me an exact copy of the SAME form and fill out the same information and send it to the same addresse again. Of the TWO senators I have written only one has responded. Michael Bennet’s office responded immediately and assigned a constituent advocate who sent me another consent form..I have filled it out and will keep you posted I am in my 12th week. I hope a Senator can help me as any employee of the IRS is basically a waste of good human skin.. I will update soon

I called monday morning and they sent in my referral and i swear she said it would be resolved in 4 to 5 days but after reading all these 45day remarks i am questioning if i heard her right…. ugh…. i am so sick to my stomach over all of this…. so i plan on calling AGAIN today to hopefully get on of those reps….. can anyone lead me that way????

The lady I talked to did put my on hold to check our status… so I’m wondering if maybe she was just picking her butt like that other rep said, lol. She just said that our IS form was accepted on 2/25 and they have 77 days to work on it so they should be doing it very soon and hopefully be done with it by next week. So I suppose I will attempt to call back then. I don’t know, I’m just thinking maybe I will forget about this stupid tax refund and then maybe when I get something months from now I will feel some type of excitement?

                                                                                                                                        Also, going back to what you guys were all talking about earlier about receiving and offset letter… we havent gotten anything and I think that is so weird! In the past we have gotten an offset letter when we didnt even know we would be getting an offset on a military star card my husband had. We didnt file an IS form and it wasnt a huge amount so it really didnt effect us. But why did we get a letter then and not now?

                                                                                                                                      • #18524 Reply

No updates on WMR or anything else. I am attempting to call the IRS right now… thinking it shouldnt be too bad at 7:30am, but my wait time is estimated to be 30 minutes. Yay.

She could not tell me the amount of the refund but said she would have that information for me on Monday when she calls the IRS to follow-up and she will be calling me back Monday as well. And she said to start checking our bank account everyday. So this is good news IF it actually happens. We have been waiting so long and have been told so many lies I am almost afraid to count on anything, but hopefully since the congressman is involved we will have our money by next Friday. Fingers crossed and praying hard!!!!!!

                                                                                                                                                  thanks katmill2369, wonder why they did that? makes no sense… I actually talked to a lady today at IRS and she reassigned my case to herself and completed it right on the phone, I was really shocked since I have had such a run around with them lately. She said she processed it and within 7-14 days we should recieve our refund. so crossing my fingers, I hope it may come sooner even…

                                                                                                                                                  And this from frustratedsteph…katmill2369, I called the 800-829-4933, pressed 1 then 0000 directed me to a person then he directed me to Individual accounts, I talked to a Mrs.Jones, she counted the weeks I was 13 weeks passed she says here I will reassign this to myself and process this right now if you have 10 minutes, I said I have 30 whatever it takes lol. She processed it right there and wala! I have called several times last time I talked to someone they did a referrel but that was it, which could take 45 more days he said and he told me not to call back there wasnt anything they could do to speed it up. Well I didnt listen and actually found someone that wasnt lazy and took the time to finish it. Also instead of being on hold for 1 hour it was only like 20 minutes. Hope that helps!

                                                                                                                                                  Call this number see if you can get Mrs Jones . If not tell them Mrs Jones did it for someone, can they do the same for you.

But then when I checked again about a half hour later that part of the message was in italics again. Well it was nice to have a short period of hope anyway….

Everyone I talk to either gives me some bullshit date that isn’t right or tells me it’s still processing!! Ugh, wtf?! Glad ya’ll got your money, I need to talk to one of these helpful reps. What number are you calling??

I called and they finished the return right there on the phone with me and said that I should have my money in 3-4 weeks. Checked the WMR yesterday and I have my orange bars back and it says that the money is to be released to my bank tomorrow! This is the first year filing IS form, after all the hassle I am thinking I am going to change my withholdings so that I break even, or bite the bullet and let them take the return at least then I don’t have 11 weeks of the stress of waiting.

No changes here, have the same message on WMR and I still haven’t heard from the congressman’s caseworker that has been assigned to help us. I faxed the authorization form a week ago. This is bullcrap!! I am contacting the congressmans’s office again this morning. Today is my birthday, it would have been nice to have our money. :(

It’s may 7th and still no updates, same WMR status. Does any of this mean anything? Said 4/27 was my 11 week date called on 4/29 they said they would send out a referrel which could take up to 45 days! I am so tired of waiting….

                                                                                                                                                                        • #18507 Reply

After waiting about 30 minutes, I actually got a nice lady on the line. She checked on the status and said it was complete this last week, gave me my refund amount and said it was put into the system for the refund to be sent. She couldn’t give a date but said I should receive it in 2-3 weeks. She said to call back next week if I haven’t received anything. I’m hoping it will come sooner than that!

I would hound their @sses everyday, I would ask for supervisors the whole nine yards, this is past ridiculous. I am old and have filed taxes for a long time and I have never ever seen things so bad as this. It has never been this way before where people are begging for their own money. They have paid their tax liability. People are just given one excuse after another. This is happening to a lot of people all over the country. All the reps are saying the same thing. It make me wonder if they have been told to delay as long as possible.

                                                                                                                                                                              I am just speculating here, but too many people are saying the same thing. My wmr status has not changed and I doubt it will. This happened last year. I got my money and the wmr still said it was processing. What a crock!

                                                                                                                                                                              @brokenandfrustrated I just don’t understand what the hell is going on. I have been reading a lot of tax community sites, post after post of the same thing. Delay, lie after lie.

                                                                                                                                                                              We are all hardworking taxpaying citizens. I am seriously considering never voting for anyone ever again. Politians are suppose to be for the people not for themselves. This is a time for them to fight for these problems. Not one person who has contacted their congressman has gotten a positive result.

                                                                                                                                                                              Bolderdash! @#%$#@!%

                                                                                                                                                                                I called IRS last Wednesday the the 1st of May. The not so nice lady told me my 11 weeks was up on that friday, 2 days later (filed and accepted 2/15), and that I would have to wait until Monday to call back and find out.

                                                                                                                                                                                So, I spent an hour on hold yesterday to talk to them. The gentelman I talked to was VERY VERY nice and as helpful as he could be. He agreed that the 11 weeks were up and put in a request to the employee working on my case to either solve/wrap up the return or to contact me if he needed anything.

                                                                                                                                                                                Here’s the kicker!

                                                                                                                                                                                When I asked how long he had to respond and when I should call back if I haven’t heard anything, guess what he said….you’ll never guess….6 FLIPPIN WEEKS!!!!

                                                                                                                                                                                He was very apologetic, but needless to say I am PISSED to the point of fuming. I already gave them 11 weeks, now I have to wait another 6??

                                                                                                                                                                                This is ridiculous!

Case was assigned to our congressman’s aid four days ago and she will be in touch when she has information. We haven’t heard a word. Sorry to hear you aren’t having any luck either. :(

My hubs talked to that lady last Thursday and she did NOT put in an inquiry as she told us she put in a referral. So the IRS basically gave themselves a 30 day extension. As of today when I called they were still working on it. :( SO GLAD yours is finally closed tho! Yay!!

We have not received our taxes yet! We have called numerous times and the reps were not helpful at all. So I called the IRS today and spoke with a really nice rep who told me that it has been going on the 11 week period and we should have a answer. She then transferred me to the Injures Spouse Department (I was on hold for 1 hour 10 minutes) where another rep told me she didn’t know why I was transferred to her because there was nothing she could do UNLESS we are in desperate need for the money like pass due bills, etc. She said that their department is behind on processing taxes because so many was filed this year and we would have to wait. So I told her that we are in need and are bills are getting to the point of being past due (which they are). She put me on hold for 15 minutes and said that she was able to help me and get the form process and we should have our money within 2 to 4 weeks and if we don’t get it by the fourth week to call them back. We shall see!!! Unfortunately the original amount we were told we were getting is way less than what we will be receiving which sucks!

She said it often happens faster though. Deep down, I’m hoping that they mail our check this Friday, but I know that probably won’t be the case. We aren’t ‘behind’ per say on bills, but we have been robbing Peter to pay Paul in a sense for the last 3 months.

                                                                                                                                                                                        @agarrett29 My husband and I are the same boat. My husband is the sole income earner and the debt is all mine (student loans that we can’t afford to pay back right now) It’s not complicated at all, but they try to make it sound like it is. Our return was filed on February 2nd, and accepted on 2/7 and our case was just closed Friday.

We e- filed on 2-8, accepted on 2-10. We have no offsets, no education credits. We only had that annoying IS form attached to our return. I have put in 3 calls to the IRS and no one can give me answers except the last call giving a referral to the IS dept because our 11 weeks are up. We filed an AMENDED return last year with an IS form and it only took 6 weeks! I simply do not understand what the hold up is. Our return is a no-brainer. I had ZERO income and the debt is 100% mine! It isn’t rocket science! I say it’s time we petition the government to audit the IRS. I want a detailed description of what the heck they do all day. I guarantee there is alot of sitting around doing absolutely NOTHING. We are in desperate need of that money. Our septic tank has to be replaced, we are living with my mother because of it, and I am way behind on all our bills. I tried to get a TA, but she said it might delay our refund, so she didn’t recommend it. Why can’t anyone at least tell me SOMETHING at this point? I am just plain mad.

They closed my case 5/2/13 got the allocation for me and the rep said check would go out in 3 weeks. Have you called yet? what is your status. Maybe they closed yours last Thursday too.

Jeeze! That seems like an excessive amount of time given that your case is already closed & just basically waiting for some idiot to push a button on their computer to release YOUR money. Ugh! I don’t understand their (IRS) logic at all!

Unfortunately she said it could take 3-5 weeks to be released though. I won’t complain since at least we’ve made progress.

No changes for me this morning. WMR says the same old thing. I did hear from a rep in my congressman’s office on Friday afternoon. She has been assigned to our case and told me she would call as soon as she has some information to report. So more waiting. Sigh……

My return was accepted on 2/19 and also didn’t get started on in IS until April 25 as well!

                                                                                                                                                                                                        I sincerely hope one these jerks has to go through something similar to this at some point in their life. Maybe then they can see how doing their jobs “when they get around to it” , treating people badly, & knowingly withholding information or not going that little extra step when you know you’re the one person who can maybe just be a little better than adequate at your job & help make someone’s day a little easier by making the effort to get REAL information, not just the same old lazy BS. Maybe then they’ll take it a little more to heart & realize how these things truly affect people’s lives & livelihoods!

                                                                                                                                                                                                        Sorry to rant. It’s just infuriating to think of the possibility that people’s returns have just been laying around someone’s desk because of their laziness or that somehow we should be punished and have to wait as long as possible because they feel we should pay this debt RIGHT NOW even if it means taking the food out of the mouths of our children or the roof over their heads.

Actually, up until about two weeks ago the WMR site mentioned it updates no more than twice per day. I think they recently changed the message, though, as it seems that too many people checking causes the system to temporarily crash. I know there have been a few occasions where my message goes from “processing” to “please verify the information you’ve provided”…basically telling me it doesn’t exist, lol.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Just an update to my last post: I called the IRS back on 5/3, as it was the 12 week mark. After holding for 45 minutes and then finally getting through and speaking with another clueless person, I had another call beep in. Turns out it was my TA. He was fantastic! Told me there was nothing wrong with my return, and that it was simply a case of someone slacking that needed a boot in their @ss. I had filed 2/8 but they didn’t send the form to the IS department until 4/25. Guess it got lost in the mix or something. Anyway, my TA is giving the individual handling the IS form until 5/8 to wrap it up, so hopefully we’ll get a DDD soon. Hopefully!

I am guilty of checking “at least” twice per day. Usually I do it online & also through the phone line. I’ve seen people on here who have checked in the morning with no updates & then check late in the day & their status has changed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          • #18487 Reply

Last night WMR updated and gave me a ddd of May 8! My 11 weeks was up either on April 23 or 25th depending on who you talked to. On the 23rd I talked to a really nice man at the IRS who put in a referral for me (he said it could take up to 30 days), I called back on the 29th and was told that they completed im IS on the 25th and it could take up to 4 weeks to get my refund, I called again yesterday and was told May 8th and this am the WMR was updated. So a total of about 13 weeks for me as long as it does get DD. Good luck everyone!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  As tax season heads towards the home stretch, hundreds of thousands of taxpayer refunds have been delayed. While taxpayers expected minor glitches associated with a late start to the tax season, the magnitude of the delays, especially those involving the form 8863 for education credits, took the tax world by storm. Angry taxpayers have been complaining about unusually long wait times and, perhaps most frustrating, a complete lack of information about the delays and the next steps. The form was delayed for processing initially by two weeks, a wait time that Forbes writer Janet Novack suggested could have been avoided.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Last year, the IRS opened tax season early, on January 6, 2012, and accepted e-filed returns as early as January 17, 2012. Since April 15, 2012, happened to fall on a Sunday and Emancipation Day in Washington D.C. was marked on April 16, 2012, tax season was pushed all of the way out to April 17, 2012. Adding yet another day? It was a leap year. The result? An embarrassment of filing riches. The tax season was officially open for 102 days (the season for e-filing was open for 91 days).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Contrast that to 2013. Tax season didn’t open until January 30, 2013. No leap year, no holiday. The due date for returns remains April 15, 2013. The result? Tax season is open for 75 days. Same number of returns (more or less). About 75% of the available time.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Once tax season opened, almost immediately, the IRS noticed problems with some tax returns claiming education credits and issued a series of alerts. The problem didn’t get better, however, and taxpayers continued to report problems with the credits. Most of those problems appeared to be related to returns filed with H&R Block. H&R Block, for its part, remained quiet throughout much of the controversy, offering statements and updates to taxpayers on its Facebook page. This weekend, H&R Block CEO Bill Cobb issued the following apology:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Let me set the record straight about the Form 8863 issue that has affected you, our valued clients: we made a mistake when the tax return was sent to the IRS. And you deserve an apology, an explanation, and to know what we’re doing about it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Here’s what happened: this year’s tax season started later than any in history (January 30th), followed by a further delay in form 8863 not being accepted until February 14. Not good for everyone. When the IRS began accepting the form, we immediately sent your returns, with the intention of getting you your refund as quickly as possible. In our zeal to move so quickly, we missed a step. Specifically there was a disconnect in the transmission of form 8863 from our delivery system to the IRS E-file system, and this caused the delay many of you are experiencing. We fixed the transmission issue right away, but couldn’t undo it for those that had already been sent.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I want to make it clear that this was absolutely not the fault of your tax professional; your return was prepared accurately. This was an issue with the form transmission. This was our mistake — and I sincerely apologize. I want you to know that we hear the frustration of those impacted by this issue loud and clear, and we’re working every avenue we can to get your refund to you as fast as possible.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  We have been and remain in daily communication with the IRS, who are doing everything they can to speedily process all returns. We know that clients are beginning to see progress, funding dates are being communicated and refunds are definitely being funded. But we also recognize that in an already delayed season, it’s still not as fast as we want, and we’re not letting up until every client has his or her refund.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  We are also committing to more frequent and regular updates with you as we have news to share, and we know we can do a better job here too.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Finally, I know an apology won’t put your tax refund in your hands right away, and many of you still have questions. But right now, our singular focus is to get you that refund, and we have all hands on deck to help make this right.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  So, no update, but an apology. Will it be enough to satisfy taxpayers? You tell me.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  and this….

The IRS said 600,000 returns were affected, but wouldn’t say how many of those are from the H&R Block.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) spokesman Gene King said that the company is aware of the problem and that it will not be an issue for additional tax filers. He said the company is working with the IRS to expedite a solution for the people who were affected and to find a way to keep this type of situation from occurring in the future.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I wonder if Turbo Tax had the same 8863 for glitch that H&R Block had.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  My heart goes out to everyone that had a tax return with forms 8863 and 8379.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I suspect that the IRS is stalling for time. We must fight for our money!

Filed 1/30, accepted 2/14 due to ed. credits. I ordered transcripts finally, I’m in the 0805 group…whatever that means. No updates on WMR or offset hotline. The most frustrating part is that I’m fighting my debt right now to prevent this next year, some sort of error made when I separated from the military put me in the offset system. So I’ve been on the phone about that all week. I haven’t called the IRS about the IS claim…from reading all these posts it seems like a waste of time. I figure they will get around to it when they do, so I just keep waiting…

Not so surprisingly, here I am. Waiting a bit over 8 weeks now. We desperately need this money so I got a TA last week and faxed my paperwork over last weekend. She called me today to tell me that the case is closed but she couldn’t give me a DD until the computer updated and that shed check on kn me on May 17!?! MAY 17!!!! That’s all she could tell me. I’m not sure if she really helped me out or not. She can’t seem to tell me anything and May 17 would just about be 11 weeks. Unbelievable!!

I filed my return with TT and my IS form electronically with it. It originally was accepted 2/8 but the ed. Credit made it 2/14. So i have been waiting 12 weeks actually. I call the IRS once a week and get the same go around. There seems to be no problems but it’s still processing. From what I see the whole problem lies with that ed. Credit and the IS. It looks to me like all those who filed IS and had the ED credit in that time frame are still waiting. That is just so frustrating. You would think that they would get those out first. But everyday i still check the WMR to find no change. I can’t help but think it’s so very close but my heart just can’t take all this waiting. So please know how good it’s been to see others with the same situation and feeling the same way. Thank you guys for at least letting me know I am not alone.

Yet, this year they still haven’t. So you might find out why they haven’t ever sent one to you.

The offset line gives no information other than our return is subject to offset. We live in Ohio. I haven’t asked to speak to our TA’s supervisor yet, I want to see what the congressman is able to do to help first. I haven’t heard from him since I faxed the authorization form to him Wednesday morning. I am getting ready to email him to ask if he received the form.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                          • #18476 Reply

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I’ve been sitting back reading the replies here for a few weeks, so I figured it was time to chime in. Our tax return/IS were both filed electronically by H&R Block and accepted 2/8. Today is the 12 week mark. We’ve made quite a few phone calls, and up until this week got nowhere. Each time they told us they had no information, and to call back . WMR still shows the same message it has for months, that our return is being processed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Imagine my frustration when the woman I spoke to this week told me that there were NO notes on our account, and that it had not even been LOOKED AT yet! We know there are no issues with the return, this is our second year filing IS and nothing has changed. She claimed “they must really be falling behind over there” and then proceeded to tell me that she would file a referral. She then said “hopefully” we’ll get a call from them in seven business days.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I could scream right now…they have had our return for almost three months and it hasn’t even been looked at. How is that possible???

So yes, our true 11 weeks was up TODAY.

Our TA called a bit ago and had a really bad attitude with me on the phone. Said she got our documents and would send them right over to the IRS and then would call me on May 14th to update me on the status of our refund. She was trying to rush me off the phone but I wouldn’t let her. I said I have a question, since we were never notified of a problem and there obviously was a problem all along are we now going to have to wait another 11 weeks and she said no not that long, but of course couldn’t tell me how long. Then she tried to tell me that the reason we weren’t notified of a problem is because it wasn’t a math error, that if it were a math error the system would have caught it, but since it was a different kind of error it wasn’t discovered until the return got to the IS department and they started to manually process the injured spouse claim. I am sorry but I am not buying it and I told her so. She didn’t like it much but oh well. Then she got snotty and repeated “well all I can tell you is I will call you back on May 14th unless I need something else from you before then. I sure hope my congressman can move the process along. Maybe the TA is aware the congressman is involved now and that is why she had such a crappy attitude with me on the phone. Who knows? I wish I could call an IRS rep just to see what other lies I will be told, but I guess once you have a TA they won’t help you. All I know is that the IRS is a huge boil on the butt of humanity!!

I remember you saying that you dates were close to mine. So you are saying here that the May 2nd date which is today is our true 11th week. Did you call the 1040 number and got this information? I can’t believe they are lying about putting you on hold.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        • #18469 Reply

Not WMR, not the offset line, not the 1040 number.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            So, hubs talked to a VERY helpful rep (must have the magic IRS touch IDK) and was told that yes, are dates are right, ours funds should have been released TODAY. She put in an “unofficial” inquiry (an email to someone she knows) and took our number and said she would call us early tomorrow morning. She also told my hubs that A LOT of ppl working there don’t give a s**t and will say anything to get you off the phone. They are getting a lot of calls from angry IS filers. She also told him that if anyone is putting you on hold to “check your account” they are full of shit. They are picking their butts.

Be proactive and bug the crap out of them. This was our 3rd call today.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            @tiredofwaiting99, I don’t want a TA or my congressman involved for the same reason. It seems to delay things. Or it’s really hit and miss and depending on who you get it will help or hinder you!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I hope everyone gets their money soon and gets some damn help from these ppl!

LOL love it. I think that I am going to change my W4 now and bring my money home now. I will aim to break even so won’t get a cent out of me. Just bought a new house last year. I pray that they don’t take the mortgage interest deduction from us.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I called last night and the rep. at 1800-829-0582 told me that they get an update only once a week and not daily but that the wmr is more recent. Liar He saw that I called this past Monday and said that he had now new update it is still being processed. This was strange he said that they can only “see” when it was received and if there was an Offset they can only “see” that date. Funny I never heard that one before. I really don’t want to get an TA because they will use that as an excuse to prolong giving us our money. Try not to stress anymore because it is not good for you. BTW have you checked wmr? did you see any update?

The second rep was much nicer but told me the same “new” story of my 11 weeks being up next week.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I have now sicced my hubby on them. He is calling back w/every intention of ripping them a new one and getting a supervisor on the phone. I don’t know if it will do any good but it might make me feel better.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I just feel as IS filers we are treated as second class. Lord help you if you had kids and qualified for EIC, or went to school to better your situation and had those god damned ed credits that WE HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE ACCEPTANCE DATE. I am so, so angry with how this is being handled. It is like because we have a debt of some kind we can be pushed to the side and ignored. My case, as has many, many others, been reassigned countless times, we’ve been lied to repeatedly, misinformed, straight up rudely spoken too and generally treated like garbage. I wonder if the agents handling our cases are being judgmental and their “decisions” to reassign a case is because they feel as if we are undeserving in some way of our refund? I can’t afford to pay back my student loans right now, my family being provided for comes first. I shouldn’t have to justify having qualified for EIC, a tax break THE GOVERNMENT offers me.

I just find it all so shitty. Having really gotten to know a lot of your stories and life issues this year, it really hits close to home.

Thanks to the fiscal cliff. I had no idea that this would delay everything, that the IRS started accepting returns 8 days later than usual because of Congress they had to get certain forms update…

The reason: Programming IRS computers and printing forms and instructions were delayed by congressional wrangling over the fiscal cliff — a combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that briefly became law on Jan. 1.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    About 120 million individual taxpayers will be able to file Jan. 30, the IRS says, and most people will get their refunds on time. “We have worked hard to open tax season as soon as possible,” IRS acting Commissioner Steven T. Miller said in a news release. “This date ensures we have the time we need to update and test our processing systems.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    CHANGES: Tax preparers say they’re prepared for changes

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    IMPACT: Deal means taxes will rise for most Americans

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The issue was not higher tax rates for wealthy individuals, because those go into effect for the 2013 tax year. But tax rules that Congress had to extend for 2012 stalled the IRS, because it has to program its computers for those changes. Congress didn’t reach an agreement until Jan. 1.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    “There was not a lot of acrimony on large pieces of the tax packages,” says Gary Schatsky, a New York financial planner. “If Congress could have come to grips with them early, people would not have had uncertainty about what large portions of the tax code looks like, nor would people have had to put off filing as soon as they desire.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Those with the most common “extenders” — the Alternative Minimum Tax patch, and deductions for higher education, state and local sales tax, and out-of-pocket expenses for educators — will be able to file by Jan. 30. TurboTax says it’s accepting e-file returns and holding them until the Jan. 30 filing date.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    But some people won’t be able to start filing until late February or March because of the need for more extensive form and processing systems changes. This group includes people claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits, the IRS says.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Because filing season starts eight days later, will the April 15 filing deadline be pushed back eight days? Not a chance. You’ll still have to have your return postmarked by April 15 to avoid late-filing penalties.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    We are paying more taxes (payroll taxes up 6.2% from 4.2%)and we have to wait longer for our money. Go figure. I really had no idea that the fiscal cliff would hit us this way.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Just to remind you again:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Read this:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Hoping to get your tax refund soon? Don’t hold your breath.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Congressional dithering over a fiscal cliff fix could force the Internal Revenue Service to delay the start of the filing season. So those expecting to file their returns in mid-January, when the agency usually begins accepting them, may have to wait several weeks.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    If Congress doesn’t approve a patch for the alternative minimum tax in the next few days, then up to 100 million taxpayers will not be able to file their returns — or collect refunds, if owed — until late March, said Steven Miller, the agency’s acting commissioner. (The AMT itself would hit nearly 30 million filers with higher tax bills, and returns of the others would be held up while the IRS reprograms its systems.)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Filing and refunds would also be put on hold by the uncertain fate of a dozen other provisions, including the deduction for state and local sales taxes and the $250 tax break for teachers who buy their own school supplies.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    This isn’t the first time the IRS has had to deal with this. Two years ago, it took until mid-December for President Obama and lawmakers to reach an agreement on many of the same issues. That delayed the opening of the tax season by four weeks to mid-February, affecting some 9 million taxpayers.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Most of them were likely owed refunds, since that’s who files early, said John Lieberman, managing director of Perelson Weiner, an accounting firm in New York. They are often folks whose income is just from wages and who take the standard deduction, making their returns fairly simple. Many are low-income families who file for the earned income tax credit.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    “They need that money back to pay Christmas bills, for a downpayment on a car or a security deposit on an apartment,” said Lieberman.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Related: Fiscal cliff confusion on Form 1040

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    This year, the situation is even more dire since we are only days away from the start of 2013.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    While the IRS has published the Form 1040 for 2012, several lines are listed as “reserved.” The designation is a “placeholder” for provisions that have yet to be passed, an agency spokesman said. The IRS has yet to publish an instruction booklet for filling out the tax forms, leaving tax preparers in a holding pattern.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    “How they are going to handle this?” said John Roth, senior federal tax analyst for CCH, a tax services company. “We are in virgin territory.”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The IRS spokesman declined to answer questions on how the Congressional delay will affect taxpayers, but said more information would be available shortly.

Today is the start of the 11th week.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Update. I got a letter from my TA stating the case es closed. The check I got was all I will receive. I expected $4000.00 more than I got. The letter stated that she sent the TA report with this letter but it wasn’t in there, I’d like to know why she got that amount for me. I will right her to receive it.(the letter stated the best way to reach her is by writing her).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        So there is my story, closed. Put in a good fight ladies and gents but beware that you may not get it all. The amount I did get helps me out of a bad situation but how disappointing.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Now to think about next year…let them keep it? I have adjusted my exceptions but I don’t want to owe them either.

Just letting you all know so you don’t rely on WMR being accurate.

What is the IRS’s problem, do they think 11 weeks is some magic number or something? Well we are all painfully aware that it can take up to 11 weeks to receive an injured spouse refund, but that doesn’t mean that it will, or even that it should, (and it shouldn’t in my humble opinion!!) I have a really big problem with them telling everyone to call back at the 11 week mark. They use that as an excuse to take the whole 11 weeks to process and get refunds out. Basically stalling tactics so they can sit on their behinds and not do the job they are paid to do. Inexcusable!!!!

Called and talked to someone, as today ismy11weeks. Of course was told that NO May 9th is my 11weeks. WTF? Over it. Just over it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Just checking in. I don’t have anything to update. No changes on WMR. I just called the offset line and it still just says that we may have an offset from the Dept of Veteran Affairs, but no amount or anything. Hopefully in the next week or two we will start to see some changes. Next Thursday will be 11 weeks since filing. I still have to call the IRS to find out exactly when it was received by them and when everything finally made it to the IS dept. I’m just waiting until the 11 week mark so I dont just get told to call back at 11 weeks.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I’m glad some of you are starting to see your returns.

Thank you for doing that! :) I don’t have anything new to report this morning. My husband and I went and faxed everything to the TA and the authorization for our Congressman yesterday morning. I left a message for the TA both yesterday and this morning asking her to please let me know if she received the documents. She has not called back of course, which doesn’t surprise me. I emailed the Congressman’s office this morning also to ask if they had received the authorization form so they can proceed with an inquiry with the IRS on our behalf. So now we wait I guess. I just pray that it is not a long wait and something can be done to get us our refund quickly. Good luck to all of you still waiting. Praying for everyone!

I am at my 12 week mark tomorrow, so I called today and was transferred right to the actual department where they process the claims and finish the process. The people I spoke to were very pleasant, I have not had such good luck in the past however. So she sat there with me and went over every single box on the form i had checked 1 box incorrectly and that’s what set the whole thing in motion. The woman fixed the problem and finished my refund right there on the spot. She gave me the “wait two weeks to see the funds” speech and with a click of the mouse finished my return!! I have had to file it IS form for 4 years now and NEVER have I had to wait this long, I did however mess up this year so maybe that’s why it took so long. I am very sorry for all of you who have not had such nice people. But I have had to call back a few times in 1 day to get a person who actually cared or knew what they were doing. So now I have 2 weeks or less until I get the money, my husband is active duty military and we are on the verge of losing our only vehicle we have to park it in the garage every day in hopes that they will not come to repo it. I am disappointed in how this whole thing has played out, and how not only the men and women who server our country are being screwed but normal everyday tax payers as well. It’s sad to see how the government repays my husband for missing his sons birth, countless Christmas’, Birthdays and anniversaries, just so he can put his life on the line for them.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Please go to this website and look at all of the people waiting for their injured spouse tax return allocation, people have been waiting for weeks, with little or no cooperation from the IRS Reps. Some are very rude. We have been waiting the 11 weeks that Congress has said we must wait. But for some people the 11 weeks have come an gone with no help in sight.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I can’t believe that is where some of our tax dollars are going. We are tax paying citizens and we deserve better than this. If we owed money to the IRS they would not hesitate to get it from us.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Please go to “I GOT MY REFUND GRAPEVINE FORUM” or to “FACEBOOK” Injured Spouse Forum. There are over 2000+ people on facebook with this problem. You will read heartbreaking story after story from tax payers all over the United States. I am from Los Angeles, CA. I hope we can get some help. Even the Tax Payer Advocate Service. Only delays the time by doing a inquiry to which they do not have to respond for an additional 30 days.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Please Help.

Some are very rude. We have been waiting the 11 weeks that Congress has said we must wait. But for some people the 11 weeks have come an gone with no help in sight.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I can’t believe that is where some of our tax dollars are going. We are tax paying citizens and we deserve better than this. If we owed money to the IRS they would not hesitate to get it from us.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            agree @tiredofwaiting99. I think we should all send this site and the 2000+ member FB page to Congress. It’s ridiculous. That and the lack of consistent, relevant, helpful, KIND service by the IRS reps. Not ok. We pay these people. We should at least not get the run a round.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I did call back, this rep said my 11 weeks was counted from the 21st when IS received it (BS) and to call back Tuesday if there is no refund by Monday. I did specifically ask if someone was working on it. He told me “it’s bounced around a bit but it’s in someone’s hand, they are manually working on it as of now. They were assigned the 25th of April.” I know this is the case with a lot of IS forms this year and I kind of want to know why? Why are they essentially being refused and re-assigned? Then we are told bs stories and “well, you have to wait the allotted time.” Why? So lazy IRS workers can’t put off doing their jobs until the last minute? The we basically get our refunds AFTER the “allotted time?” I don’t get it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Anyhow, everyone have a good day. I will try and be happy despite the SNOW again here in CO LOL.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            am sitting here angry and sobbing. Our TA did call back today at around 4:30 and told me the IRS needs more information from us. Are you kidding me??????!!!!!!!! I was told by an IRS rep that there were NO PROBLEMS at all with our return two weeks ago when I called, and was also told by the TA last Monday that there were no problems and that it was finished processing and just sitting there. Now she tells me the IRS needs more info? And why didn’t the IRS bother to let us know that there was a problem? She didn’t have an answer for that or for why she told me last week that our return was finished processing when it obviously wasn’t. We have gotten no letters from the IRS whatsoever. I am livid!! Apparently the woman who prepared our taxes forgot to check a box on my injured spouse form. So she wants me to check the box and fax a copy to her, plus a copy both my and my husbands 1098T forms for our education credits. The tax lady also forgot to include my husbands 1098T when we e-filed. And because of the unchecked box on my injured spouse form they need to see my 1098T again to to figure out how to allocate the education credit. Personally I don’t think the TA or the IRS have a clue as to what they are doing. TA said she needed all this faxed to her within three days. Well we can’t fax it until Wednesday because we don’t have the money to fax it. It will cost four dollars and we only have three dollars in the bank and won’t have any money to fax it until I get my small check on the 1st. So yeah, I am sitting here crying my eyes out. We are in such financial hardship, and need our refund, and now that the IRS needs this information it will be God knows how long now before we receive it. I asked the TA how long did she think it will take for us to get our refund after she gets the information from us and she said she won’t know until she has the information and sends it over to them. Then she can give us some idea of the time frame but I have a feeling it will be another six or eight weeks. She did say that once she has the information and gets it to them she can push the refund through but at this point I don’t believe a word she says. We have been lied to by the IRS and the TA and I am talking to my congressman tomorrow. We need this money so badly. I am heartbroken. :(

I just read through all the posts and glad to see some are getting refunds. I called the IRS yesterday, one day after the magic 11 week mark. The nice lady said our IS form was processed on April 26 and to call back in 2 weeks. Does anyone know what the next step for the IRS is after the form is processed and why I should call back in 2 weeks?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            • #18450 Reply

We filed 2/13 with IS form and were accepted 2/15. Our 11 weeks is this Friday. I called the irs a week ago and she said it was STILL processing but our 11weeks was May 3. Called today and she Said it could take up to 14 weeks . But i thought that was only for people who mailed theirs. She said its looking more like mid May. I really am so frustrated with this!

I am with ya, I too hope tomorrow will bring a change, however I don’t have any confidence in the wmr because last year I finally got my refund and wmr was never updated it still said “still processing…blah blah. I stopped checking after a couple of weeks.

It is just a few of us who responded to this. I can’t even remember how I stumbled upon this site. But I know this sight should be given to someone in Congress to look at. I am in California and will probably try to send it to our Congressman today.

He also said that he did see a request for the release of the hold from 2008, since we did not owe anything that year. He said once the inquiry is sent that the IS has 30 days to contact me, but he told me to keep calling back. He wad very helpful, or as helpful as he could be with the information. He also encouraged me to contact the main office of my TA department if my rep didn’t call me back.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      On a funnier note, he mentioned that some of thr IRS reps were lazy and didn’t want to look information up, and that if I got one like that to keep calling back. Too bad we don’t get the extensions of these nice people, would sure make it easier….

NOTHING here. Nada. Tried calling the offset number this morning, talked to a rep, was told they have no info as the IRS hasn’t released anything yet. Called the IRS, talked to a bitchy, rude rep who told me I had to wait my 11 weeks (duh) to which I responded well, that’s tomorrow hunny, she put me on hold and was like yes it is so call back tomorrow. I asked if there were any updates on my account she said the last update was April 25th. I asked if that meant that was when they started working on it, as I was told it was finally assigned last week, she told me “I don’t know, we can’t see that kind of information.” Then hung up on me. Ugh.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        On an interesting note, I don’t know if ya’ll remember my once a week on your cycle date theory, but April 25th was a Thursday and my cycle date is a Thursday….so I’m hoping tomorrow will be an update on WMR. If nothing else I’ll call back and hopefully get a nicer rep.

Also faxing the documents to the TA that she claims the IRS needs. The documents that we were NEVER told that they needed because there was NO problem with our return. Lol :) Heading out to do some faxing, have a great day everyone!

I have been following this post for awhile now and figured i would share my story. my husband and i filed our taxes with h&r block on jan 31st. we sent in the injured spouse form with it (this is our first year). the injured spouse department did not get a hold of it until feb 14th, but was also told that it wasnt assigned to someone until feb 19th. was told 2 different things…that the 11 weeks was counted from feb 14th and also from feb 19th. i have been calling pretty consistently for a few weeks now. i called twice last week and this past monday just to get all the same answers “its still being processed they have untilt he 11 weeks to finish”. then i called today because i got very angry haha. i did however receive different info today. the lady told me that its in the final stage as of april 25th and that a check is usually mailed out 7-10 days from that date. why no one else could tell me that the other times i called i dont know. lets hope this is true….

So many people here have posted about the different stories they have gotten from the various IRS reps and TA’s that they have spoken with. I totally despise dishonesty! People that work for the government make very good money for the most part. They don’t get paid to sit on their behinds and lie to us!! I heard back from a rep in my Congressman’s office a bit ago and she emailed the consent form for the Congressman to be able to make an IRS inquiry on our behalf. So I will fax that to his local office tomorrow along with the documents I have to fax to the TA. I am praying that he can help. It is totally inexcusable for the IRS to tell us two weeks ago that there is no problem with our return and we should have our refund soon, then the TA to tell us last week that it’s processed and just sitting there and she will expedite the refund, then for TA to call us back a week later and say that there is a problem. They need to get their stories straight!!! Ugh!!!

I contacted my congressman this morning. We will see if he can help. I told him everything, dates of calls, what we have been told, etc. I pray he can help us. I also let him know of all the people on here on this website who filed way back in January and still haven’t received their refunds and how our local news actually reported on how “smoothly” the IRS said tax season is going this year, which all of us here on this website know is a lie. I really appreciate everyone’s prayers for those of us who are having serious financial hardships. Your prayers mean a lot. Thank you. God bless all of you!

They may be able to help you with out a TA or if they think you need a TA assign one to you and get the ball rolling faster than you applying. That is just mho. If you read my post yesterday you can see why I say that.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        @brokeandfrustrated & aoldenburg83 & tat2dmusicgurl heart felt prayers for you and your families. The only advice I have is don’t give up! Call everyone, who cares if you annoy them this is your life and it’s bs that they can’t get you at least some of your money to get you out of the situation. Tell the TA, congressperson, or senator that you need at least some of the refund to be able to live.

Hang in there it is coming. :)

I would be happy to do so.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          I was having a great deal of problems with the IRS. The second to last time I called them I told them that I was having financial issues (my gas was going to be turned off). The IRS person started the process for a TA including filing out the TA forms and put in an order for a TA from St. Louis to call me with in 5 days that was on a Friday. That following Monday a TA called me and asked me about my situation, gave me a fax number to send the shut off notice to, and told me she would start having the IRS expedite my account and that they had 5 to 7 days to finish. I sent the notice. The TA then called me back that day and confirmed that she got the notice and was having the IRS process my account as fast as possible. That all happened around the 15th of this month. I kept contact with the TA she would call me back with in one business day. On the 19th I called and she said the next Monday or Tuesday the account would be finished and the system should DD into my account. She told me to call if the DD didn’t show up? I called her Monday and said the DD did not post. She then returned my call on the 24th and said that a check was cut and would be sent. She explained to me that the check was faster because a DD would take up to 2 weeks to process and she wanted me to get relief sooner. My TA said that it should only take 2 to 3 days to get to me since the check was processed in my city (Kansas City, Mo), but she had to tell me to wait 7-10 days. I waited and the check didn’t come in 2 days so I called the IRS. The IRS did confirm that a check was cut on 4/23. I looked on the internet and found that the IRS neglected to tell me that the check would not be mailed until that Friday the 27th. I got my check this Monday the 29th.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The best I can say is be your own advocate and also I was very lucky. My TA was helpful and compassionate. I am afraid that many may not be. I hope this helps. I have posted a link regarding finding the local TA office in your state last week. If that doesn’t help you, please let me know. I will try to find phone numbers for you. Hang in there. Also if you live in a community state their may be a great more headache. I am lucky I live in Missouri, which has a faster processing time…

I can’t believe this, one excuse after another. This is beyond ridiculous. Those TAs just saying anything to get you off of the telephone. I am happy for all those who have recently received their refunds. Is there a local IRS office in your city that you can go too? and fax your information from there? They will do it free I am sure if you explain what is going on.

I don’t want anymore delays either.

Believe it or not the check is faster this year. My TA insisted for me to have a check because a DD would take an additional 2 weeks to process in the system. The checks can be cut at an office close to you and send to you within 2-5 days. It makes no sense so make sure they send you a check…

Has anyone else had this happen, should I call back and inquire as to why its being mailed? Anyone that got it back in check form how long was the wait for the check? Thanks guys think I’m getting closer on week 11.

I am so thankful for my TA. Like I said before the checks are only sent out on Friday. See is the IRS processing location near you can print off the check to expedite the process. Also I would strongly urge any of you that have a TA that isn’t responding to contact the supervisor and also try the US Senator’s office. The Senators have a great deal more weight and can get the investigation going a great deal faster. Let me know if you all have any questions.

Happy Tuesday I hope you are well :-) i am good , I have been trying to find out more info for folks with TA’s, but it’s pretty hit or miss..some people see rapid results due to a diligent hardworking TA, and some see and hear nothing for weeks…this is no news to you all :( I did however find something that may help those of you trying to get a TA but get turned away because you don’t have a hardship…see if you interpret this the same way I do and let me know what you think http://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov//userfiles/file/TAS_change_case_criteria_6_12_12.pdf

Unbelievable. @maximo2 congrats!!! @charbelle great news!!

I’ve seen it called a referral too, but from what I’ve seen from then on they don’t touch it again until a few days before the 30 days are up so I am *trying* to be patient and just wait the a$$holes out LOL .I called yesterday but have no updates today, I think I’ll give it till Thursday or Friday if nothing changes.

She told me we would have it this week but if something should go awry, to call back on Monday. This would all be good news for us-since the last time I called all anyone could tell me was that our case was ‘open’. No letters in the mail to date. No change to the WMR status to date.

I was just checking the status of our return because I haven’t heard a word from ya’ll—–this seems to work well enough as I’ve never had a rude agent :)
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          PS. Our refund is in both of our names , but the bank account is in my hubby’s name only-I’ve heard that this was a potential issue with returns getting sent back to the IRS…so we called his bank & they said as long as the routing number was correct-it would be deposited without any problem….something is telling me to get both of us on the account though —just in case…..

Thank God for my home based business for the repeat residual income I get around the 18th of the month. I work from home getting paid daily and month after month plus I get home office tax deductions that most people don’t get for working from home. I also help people get affordable discount health benefits…this is what makes this wait bearable. Next year I plan on going back to filing MFS.

I too was told that everything was wrapped up, and I receive a letter in the mail today from our TA saying that there was something missing from our 2008 return (which has now been filed three years different years…), so I went in, made the change, and it did NOT affect the bottom line of the 2008 return, but somehow the date has gone from expecting our refund on May 17th (I filed and was accepted on 2/14) to July 5th. We have just been evicted by the City, so now I have to figure out how to move 5 people with no money… I am starting to think getting the TA was the worst decision I have made so far… So don’t feel bad @brokeandfrustrated, I am laying here crying now too :(

I got check even though I filed for DD. WMR and info line still both say processing like they have since 2/7. I’m relieved its finally over, and pray for all still waiting.

Thank you so much. I am just devastated. :( Seems like my dear husband and I just can’t catch a break. He has been unemployed for a year and a half. I went to school last year for medical billing and coding and graduated last Sept. and I can’t find a job. I did have a job interview this morning but I have been turned down for every job I have applied for so far. I just keep trying to remember that the Lord doesn’t give us more than we can handle. Sometimes it sure seems that way though.

Like I said, I don’t think the TA knows what she is talking about.

Our TA did call back today at around 4:30 and told me the IRS needs more information from us. Are you kidding me??????!!!!!!!! I was told by an IRS rep that there were NO PROBLEMS at all with our return two weeks ago when I called, and was also told by the TA last Monday that there were no problems and that it was finished processing and just sitting there. Now she tells me the IRS needs more info? And why didn’t the IRS bother to let us know that there was a problem? She didn’t have an answer for that or for why she told me last week that our return was finished processing when it obviously wasn’t. We have gotten no letters from the IRS whatsoever. I am livid!! Apparently the woman who prepared our taxes forgot to check a box on my injured spouse form. So she wants me to check the box and fax a copy to her, plus a copy both my and my husbands 1098T forms for our education credits. The tax lady also forgot to include my husbands 1098T when we e-filed. And because of the unchecked box on my injured spouse form they need to see my 1098T again to to figure out how to allocate the education credit. Personally I don’t think the TA or the IRS have a clue as to what they are doing. TA said she needed all this faxed to her within three days. Well we can’t fax it until Wednesday because we don’t have the money to fax it. It will cost four dollars and we only have three dollars in the bank and won’t have any money to fax it until I get my small check on the 1st. So yeah, I am sitting here crying my eyes out. We are in such financial hardship, and need our refund, and now that the IRS needs this information it will be God knows how long now before we receive it. I asked the TA how long did she think it will take for us to get our refund after she gets the information from us and she said she won’t know until she has the information and sends it over to them. Then she can give us some idea of the time frame but I have a feeling it will be another six or eight weeks. She did say that once she has the information and gets it to them she can push the refund through but at this point I don’t believe a word she says. We have been lied to by the IRS and the TA and I am talking to my congressman tomorrow. We need this money so badly. I am heartbroken. :(

I bet you get the rest in a week or two, if your TA doesn’t call you back I would call first thing tomorrow and ask for her supervisor. I’ll see what I can find out about partial refunds involving injured spouses using TA’s and ill let you know what I discover enjoy the show..if you have a bottle of red wine in the back of the cupboard grab it and celebrate your 1/4 refund..if not me and my friend will have a glass for you :) enjoy the show!

I called the TA main line (1-877-777-4778) and I found a super nice man named Peter. He told me the TA received my hardship forms on 04/19!!! They were faxed a 3rd time (last time I faxed them) on 04/08. He told me a check was mailed out Friday 04/26 for the amount I received. He said the case is still open and to call the TA again to find out what is going on, if I am receiving more. He apologized many times for her not calling me. Unfortunately she still has to call me back which she has not in the past month.

( we are having a girls night and watching the season finale of The Following) anyways, she said no it didn’t state that it was a portion it only stated that final review was still in progress and her TA actually confirmed for her that it was only part and she would receive the rest later.

When I saw the letter amount my gut was telling me this wasn’t the whole amount I was getting back, that it was a portion. The letter does not say either way but the amount would be darn close to cover the amounts on the hardship paper work I needed to send in. Did your friend’s letter say anything particular about it being a portion of it?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Don’t get me wrong, I am happy to squeak by it’s better than the alternative.

The reason I ask is because I had a friend that filed injured spouse last year, she got a TA and the IRS released enough money to help her with her hardship and once they finished complete processing about 3 weeks later, they sent her the rest. I’m glad you at least got enough for rent congrats :-)

Checked the mail and 2 letters from the IRS stating changes to our 2012 Form 1040a. Refund due:…it was 1/4 the amount expected. The check was in the mail also for the amount stated in the letter. The letter “Notice Date” is May 6, 2013.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        OK. I am very happy to have the money because rent is due in 2 days and it pays it but 1/4 of what it was suppose to be?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I did call the TA and left a VM on my way to work and no call back. This was the worst experience I have ever had with the IRS.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        And for kicks and giggles WMR no update, and offset phone line no update it still says original amount of entire refund to be applied to husbands defaulted student loans.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        I will keep checking in to see if I may be of help to anyone and I will update if I find out anything else.

I left a message. My husband said give her the rest of the day to call back. She works until 6:00. If we don’t hear from her, then I will call the main TA number tomorrow plus get in touch with our congressman. Her message on her voice mail says she will return our call in one business day, but I am not giving her until tomorrow because I already called her last Wednesday and left a message and she still hasn’t returned that call, so she had her chance at the “one business day.”

Is this where you would get a TA? My return was “assigned” to someone over 2 weeks ago. Go figure. If anyone else has got the same “Received by the IRS Date 2/14/13” please let us know if your status has changed on wmr.

My return FINALLY got assigned someone last week! My rep was really nice and said that it *should* be done this week and if there was no change on WMR or the offset line to call back on Monday ( I’m calling Friday since that is one day passed my 11 weeks hehe) and they can “officially” put in the inquiry. I’m trying to avoid it as it gives them another 30 days to get it done. My rep did say that they are trying really hard to get everyone’s stuff done in the 11 week time frame so I should at least see a change in status this week. 2-3 weeks after that for the money…..

She said that she could see that my return was being processed by the department that is doing the IS but she did not see an “Allocation and Date” which means it is not closed yet, but there were no other problems with my return.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Is this the same crap you are getting? She told me to call next week and they would see why it was not closed. She also said there were no reasons why my allocation has not be made before now. If I call next we and it is still open only then will they do something. Boo! Hoo! Karnsarnit and Dag-nabit, Heavens to Murgatroid!

I am calling back Friday! I don’t understand why this is taking so long. Our returns are in limbo seems like. Why would they not just complete and close the return.

WT heck is going on with these TA’s? If it were me and they weren’t calling me back, I would call the TA main office and literally refuse to hang up until someone helped me. Maybe it will freak them out enough to get you a supervisor and maybe she/he will be freaked out enough to take action. Something I also saw this weekend was that people are going to the White House website and sending letters to the President…just some food for thought. I hope you all have a happy Monday, and I hope the IRS has a productive Monday.

Has anyone got an updated message this year for IS that the offset has occured?

I know last year I got my IS refund and wmr did not update.

I was told to call the main TA line through the IRS and tell them that the TA assigned to your case is not in contact with you and you would like to know the status of your refund. If they don’t answer you call the congressman, be ready to fax a consent form back to them, just telling you so you can get it done in 1 day instead of that taking days as well.

We filed on February 2, and our return was accepted on February 7. Our official 11 weeks was up last Friday but when I spoke to someone they refused to push through a referral until today because they had until ‘the end of business’ that day to get it done. It’s no surprise that our return is ‘still processing’ this morning. She put in our referral earlier this morning and said that they now have another 30 days to even contact me! I’m so upset and stressed. My daughter’s birthday is this weekend and we are flat broke! Our house payment is only current because we borrowed money from family. I tried getting a TA, but they refused to help us because we can’t PROVE hardship. :(

We filed the end of January, filed our IS form a couple weeks later and had our money by mid-April.

You can google the community property states, but I believe they are Louisiana, Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Wisconsin might have forgotten one so please look it up to be sure good luck to you :-)

TA did not return my call last week. I am going to call her this afternoon and if I get her voice mail then I am getting in touch with my congressman. I am so tired of this. :( I second your “ugh” @katmill2369.

This thursday will mark our 10 week point. I am off of work next week so I think I will call the IRS then.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                We filed our taxes through HRBlock 3/8, and the were accepted a couple of days later. A couple of weeks later we found out about the offset. They are for my student loans, but I didn’t work at all last year so we mailed in the IS form on 4/4 (I know, I have quite the wait ahead of me). My question is this, what do you think I can expect my refund to be? Do they still use part of the earned income credit/ child tax credits to go toward my student loans, or would we still get the full refund since my husband was the only one employed? And also, do the returns get processed faster if you mail the IS form in after you file the original return? Does it come by check, or DD? I know we have a long ways to go, I just wonder what I should expect when/if the money actually comes. I ordered my transcripts tonight, so hopefully they will give me some useful information.

Quick question: our 11 weeks is up May 7th & we called yesterday bc nothing has changed on the WMR site since the orange bars went away or the offset line at all. WMR continues to say Return being processed blah blah….refund date blah blah blah & I filed the IS form with return thru TT electronically so the offset line has always said Found current debt, return MAY BE offset. When we called yesterday the guy said it had just been worked on Wednesday 24th, but he couldn’t tell what had been done. He told us, as well as another agent 2 weeks prior, that we should see something by May 7th. Anyone care to speculate what may have been “worked on”? Will the offset line change status or just stay the same since it never went into offset mode bc of filing IS with the return?

It’s sooooo frustrating! I am totally empathetic & sympathetic to everyone’s frustration & financial hardships. I am glad to see that some of the group are finally seeing some progress & refunds. We filed 2010 & 2011 back in October & both of them only took 42 days & 63 days.

Everytime I called I got that same response you need to wait 11 weeks. Finally I got a guy who actually looked at it and told me he was putting in a referral that could take up to 30 days. grrrr this is so frustrating! This is my fifth or sixth year doing injured spouse and the second time it has taken past the 11 week mark. Mine should have been simple to do. My husband has the debt and only I had income not community prop state no education credit or home credits. I e-filed, sent my form with it and it was accepted Feb 5th or 7th. Depends on who you talk to. I talked to a woman at about 9 1/2 week mark and she said it was just waiting to be released. This is just crazy

The wmr page just changed last night from offset to We have received your tax return and it is being processed. …..I am hoping that this is a good thing and the wait is almost over, anyone get this message just before their refund and if so how long after was it received? ….optimistic but not hopeful

The extension that I meant was if the IS dept. doesn’t get it done in 11 weeks, they give themselves another 8 weeks. At least that’s how I understood it yesterday. As for your issue, I would call like Weds of next week and see what the deal is. It’s your 11th week technically and they should have SOME info. That’s what I plan on doing anyway.

What is the purpose of having the TA? When I called last week injured spouse department had it but it was still “open” I am not sure what that means. My 11Th week is May 2nd. Her words to me were if you have not “received” anything by then to call back.

I will not call back until 5-3-13 if I have not received anything.

According to her, and the rep I talked to yesterday, NOTHING has been done on my return. They accepted it and sent it to IS and that’s it. Nothing else. My 11 weeks are up May 2nd but I’m starting to feel like I’ll be one of the ones they stick another 8 weeks onto for an “extension.” Oh well. Moving on. Maybe something nice will happen next week but I’m not holding my breath.

You if we owed money to the IRS they would not hesitate to get their money from you and charge you penalty and interest for not paying on time. I am encouraged by @whatthebleep said that it may be a bad day not a bad life, we are in the land of the living so there is hope for all of us.

They lost everything and it will take months to rebuild. I am grateful that nothing like that has every happen to me. Or think about those people in Boston who lost limbs.

Just focus on the positive things you have going on. The times we are in right now are quite scary and uncertain, but look for the good in every situation. Delay is not denial it will come. You may have 3 dollars in the bank, but if you look closer you will find that you have much more to be thankful for. I pray that your money will come soon, and for everyone else who is waiting.

And I don’t get my monthly pension check (which isn’t much) and my hubby doesn’t get his VA check until the 5th or 6th. Desperately need our refund, and the IRS could care less…..all I can do is pray.

Was just hoping to at least have some hopeful news before the weekend. If she doesn’t call today I will try her on Monday. Her supervisor will be my next step if she doesn’t call me back.

Didnt someone say they got some answers by calling their TA’s supervisor? Or maybe that was on a different forum. Either way i know you can call the TA 800 number and ask to speak with your TA’s boss and they should be able to help.

I’m gonna tell the TA not to bother…..if they ever call.

He told me, definitively, that you count the 11 weeks from when your return was ACCEPTED. So 2/14 for me, and that unfortunately for me my return has not been touched thus far. My 11 weeks is up on May 2nd. He also said that the IRS is super backlogged this year, mainly because of the education credits, and are trying desperately to catch up. So if you guys want try calling I would seriously recommend this guy. He was seriously wonderful. Hope everyone has better news later/tomorrow.

Not very happy this morning. This is beyond frustrating. :(

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            I just spoke with a IS rep today 4/25/13 She was very nice. But they only can tell you if they got the money for the person who has the offset only (my husband) they had not received anything from the IRS as of the today. But you can speak with a live person. if you follow the options above. So after the 11 weeks are up then I will begin calling the 800-304-3107 once you hear that an “offset was sent to” whatever agency it should go to, the IS portion will be sent out at the same time by the IRS. :-)

The check was cut and sent in the mail yesterday. I should get the check in a day or two, but I have to wait up to ten days. The check was sent out in my city so it shouldn’t take that long. I hope the best for everyone else. My prayers are with you all.

It updates for some and not others? So many mysteries behind the IRShovenstuff.

Thank you for all of your answers. You know I did electronically file my 8379 along with my tax return. Last year I did it at the same time, but got the IS refund back earlier. Do you remember that too? Last year on the WMR status I did get that 800-829-0582 Ext. 362 specifically called them regarding my return. This year I got no such message. Don’t know if thats good or bad just saying the differences between this year and last year.

Why does it not show the progress bars on WMR for IS processing?

So like in @maximo2 I don’t know, but I bet his cycle date was something like 20130605 or anything smaller before it changed to 20131105..but these are just my opinions..nothing else :-)

From jan 1 it’s feb 19, 2013. I’m going to tell you what I’ve been thinking but only take this with a grain of salt because I’m no tax expert, I’m thinking the cycle date is the last time your return was “cycled” through the IMF system. I think it only tracks processing through IMF and IMF alone. The other processing date march 4, represents the day that your return was picked up by a person in the injured spouse department and began the manual process to calculate what you should receive. The midlle 3 digits in the number under code 150 are your Jillian date. For this you will calculate 440-365= 75 which if you count 75 days from jan 30, you get April 15, which in a theory I recently found means the IRS has until march 6, to get you your refund if they stay inside the 21 day window allotted for normal refund processing, which is what you enter once your Jillian date is up if you e-filed you form 8379, if you mailed it in then then your Jillian date is probably much higher…please do not base any financial decisions on this or think in any way that what I am saying is absolute truth these are just my opinions, and mine alone , nothing more and nothing less. I hope some of this makes sense to you..

I called the IRS today and was told they finished processing my injured spouse claim and that the case was closed. Was told I would have to wait 2 – 4 weeks to receive my refund. Will I really have to wait this long? As anyone else been told their case is closed received their money before then. Thanks.

Some say it starts jan1st and it is only the day your return was received, but I have seen several cases where this is impossible and the math does not work..for example @maximo2 accepted 2/14 but cycle date is 20131105.. Which proves that theory completely wrong..others say it starts as of jan 30- so if yours was 20131005 it would be 10 weeks from jan 30 and 05 means thurs. what they represent no one knows for sure? It has to mean something, but I have been told its only for irs use and are of no use to us….sorry so long :-)

The first time I spoke with a rep using the 800-829-0582 ext 362 number she told me the IRS accepted 2/14/13 and my 11th week is May 2nd which happens to be on a Thurdsay. Could someone please give me an overview of what the cycle dates mean. I am going to my po box today and will need this information when I look at my transcript.

There are diligent workers vs the lazy bums who pretend they are working. If your case got picked up by some lazy bum he/she might take forever vs someone who is super efficient and picking up everyone else slack. Who knows? I guess we are coming up with theories to vent our frustrations :)

I received mine 8 weeks 2 days after being accepted. Accepted 2/23, irs said started actual processing on 2/28 and then went to injured spouse dept on 3/18..got money 4/22. Maybe we should all post our dates again? It would probably help a lot of people so they don’t have to go back through all of the old posts?

Unless you want some new form of BS each day. I mean come on! I’ve had several reps tell me that they can see in my “notes” on my account what others have been telling me…..then they tell me something different! I still haven’t heard from the TA, I’m beginning to wonder if this isn’t a good thing?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            So, just for shiggles……you guys know how last year things were done on a weekly basis? I believe it was WMR was only updated on Wednesdays or something? Anyhow, do you think that our cycle dates have anything to do with WHEN they process our returns?? Mine is an 05, so a Thursday and all my paperwork that I’ve gotten from the IRS is Thursdays, 11 week dates land on Thursdays……just curious is this is happening to you guys? Maybe wishful thinking as tomorrow is a Thursday and I’m hoping for a change LOL.

They have no power over the process at all. They are not able to speed it up in any way other then use the same tools the IRS already has in place(the referral that is available after week 11). I saw someone today say their TA put in an “expedited” on their return and I started laughing out loud. Sure ya did. However they couldn’t give an answer as to when it would be completed.

We will see if she calls back in one business day or not. I just want more answers than what she was able to give me on Monday. She said we would have our refund “very soon” but didn’t give a real time frame of what that meant. She did tell me that our return had been finished processing for quite some time and was just “sitting there” and that she would expedite our refund. She was really nice and got my hopes up, but after two more days of no update and no money in the bank, I want more specific information about exactly how long “very soon” is.

It sucks because I know of times that I called and I could tell the agent wanted to tell me more, but couldn’t kinda like the whispering lady that @buttons16 had who told her what her dd was…

That’s the first i have heard of any kind of alert on injured spouse returns. That’s pretty disturbing, I hope it’s not true.

I called the telephone number 1-800-829-0582 Ext. 362 and was told that my return is still processing and it should complete between the 11-14th week. If I had not received my tax refund by the 14th week to call back. What he did tell me that there is a recent alert for the injured spouse processing, because of the cuts it may now take 18-20 weeks to process injured spouse returns. He checked for me and that alert was not on my return. Has anyone else heard of this? Has anyone received there tax return for IS before the 11th week? I don’t trust the system, last year I got my tax refund (check mailed) and the WMR said it was still being processed.

She then informed me that this was only the 9th week after I told her that tomorrow marks 10 weeks since it was accepted *eyeroll* and that I should call back if I haven’t receieved it in 2 weeks. I guess I’ll call again next Thursday exactly at 11 weeks. I must have been luckier the last year or two because those reps were much more helpful and informative.

The IRS is everything, but consistent and reliable, oh and polite too. Not polite, at least to me they haven’t been. Keep at it… Don’t lose hope.

It is so frustrating to be told something different every time you speak with someone. Honesty is all I ask for. Going to be a riugh month. :(

Called again and got a different answer, again. Was told at least no refund date as of yet and to count the 11 weeks from 2/21. So….May 2nd. IDK. So frustrated. My son’s bday is May 4th so we are hoping to have it right before then if nothing else. I know that it will end at some point, I’m just hoping sooner rather than later.

If your TA doesn’t answer your call with in one business day I would call the TA Office in your state and find out what is going on. Go to: http://www.irs.gov/uac/Contact-a-Local-Taxpayer-Advocate click on your state and call the number. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Unfortunately, with the IRS saying that my husband had back taxes owed, it is making the process take longer, because I had to refile the year in question and prove we should have gotten a joint refund that year. Ugh…

Are you sure that if you filled your IS after filing return, by paper, that you get a check? 1st TA said they would make sure it is dd but new TA still hasn’t returned any calls (last one made yesterday) so I have know idea.

I know some people say the IRS deposits any day except Sundays, and at anytime, but I bank with USAA and our money no matter where it’s coming from if its a dd it hits between 6 and 7 am…that being said, if it were me and I had quick access to my checking throughout the day I would still check often, especially considering the TA’s comments. Either way Im just happy you have somebody going to bat for you, maybe give her another 24-48 hours and if nothing happens by friday call her.

Not sure what time they do deposits during the day, if they just do them once on several times. I am definitely going to call my TA today to see what is going on. She told me that we would see our refund very soon and that we will be pleased that we have her help, well that remains to be seen.

No update on WMR and no deposit. Damn. Maybe the TA will call today.

It’s not looking like it. Will check the bank again later and if nothing is there will call her. Question: can we still call the IRS to check on things even though we have a TA?

Who knows? I think you will see something soon, but it wouldn’t hurt to call again today to see if someone can dig a little deeper for a dd… :-)

We were told 2-3 weeks for payment. WMR still says refund was applied to irs debt. Will WMR change to the amount I was given on the 18th before we get our refund? Thanks for any help.

I have way too much time on my hands since my hubby is deployed.. :-) I’m sure there are a lot of people this formula makes absolutely no sense for, but when I found it i couldn’t resist comparing the numbers with you all

What I failed to mention in my rant, lol, was that this idiot rep told me that you have to count 21 days for the original return THEN start counting the 11 weeks. That’s how she came up with May 23rd. Really? I’ve been filing IS for 3 years and this is the first I’m hearing of this. I was always under the impression you count 11 weeks from when you got accepted. Anyone else been told this BS?

So, looks like according to her calcs. 11 wks from 3/15 is 5/31. She advised me due to holiday on 5/27 that to call in on 5/28 and they should have a ERD (expected refund date) for DD. There is no way one person can file their IS form before or after the tax return because they have to have a return to process with. Even if processed and IS is mailed in after, it would subsequently take longer because it goes by the date IRS received IS form. You would need to e-file your return with IS in the first week of Feb in order to expect your refund at end of April. You file in Mar, your screwed, don’t expect your refund until May. Strongly thinking of MFS next year as I did the previous year…only because I also live in CA a community property state and because my husband had an offset with them, and they are broke as a joke, they snagged my entire refund of $239 to pay his debt prior to our marriage. Can’t file IS because it doesn’t exist. They only have Innocent Spouse Relief for divorce/legal separated and if debt was for child support. — that’s my tussle with IRS today.

Will it take that long, or can i expect it sooner. BTW the injured spouse claim was accepted Feb 23rd.

She said we would probably have our money before she calls us again. We will see, at this point I don’t trust what anyone says…..

WTF?! We filed 1/30, accepted 2/14 (effing education credits) and have been told by a TA that May 1st was D-day. So…..what is going on?! Every time I call I get a different answer!!! I am so beyond frustrated. If you count from my original file date I’m at 12 weeks, the damn education credits date 10 weeks! I am so irritated I can’t see straight. I understand that we have a debt, so we filed the proper form and all that crap, we waited, patiently for the most part, but it’s OUR MONEY.

I will continue to wait with the rest of you. I filed 3/4,accepted 3/6. Tomorrow will start my 7th week of waiting. WMR says “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” This is my second year filing injured spouse. Last year it took alot longer due to an amended return. This year I am just anxious to get my money. I called the IRS and was basically told that it will take 11 weeks and to call back if I haven’t received anything. Looks like I have 4 more weeks to go. I am hoping for something sooner, we shall see…

Just checked WMR… no change in status. We are going on our 9th week of waiting. I havent had the desire, or time really with being at work all day, to call the IRS. I’m going to give it until the 11th week and then start calling like crazy if we don’t see anything before then. I’ll also be off on maternity leave then too, so I will be able to call more often.

Do you think if my husband calls the VA they might be able to give him some information on what has gone on behind the seens with the money?

Very nice lady and she said basically our return is pretty much done and just sitting there, so she is sending over a request to expedite our refund. She didn’t give me a time frame but said that we would probably have our refund very soon. She also told me that she filed an injured spouse form herself and hers was just sitting there too so she knows how we all feel. Anyway, I am very cautiously optimistic. Praying all of us get good news soon.

Praying for everyone else to get DDD soon. I was looking on Facebook ant there is several people who are past the 11th week and still waiting. Irs does say o call back and ask to have a referral put on account to try to get it moving faster. But they say it can take up to 30 days for referral. Some also say to keep calling to see if you get a nice representative that will work on your return while you sit on the phone. That is what I did I finally called is department and had a nice representative who unfrozen my refund and I received with in 9 days. Also read that a TA will take your refund to be delayed if your near or past 11 weeks.

My 11 weeks is up next week, and we got a TA because we are being forced to move, and I wanted to try to expedite our return. Now the TA is telling me the earliest to expect anything is May 28th…

In a few instances a TA can actually DELAY your return. Just read on Facebook yesterday about a TA who put in an inquiry and when the person called on the progress of the return, they were informed that the funds were ready to be deposited, however they are now frozen until the inquiry is completed.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Also, once a TA takes your case, the IRS agents are no longer required to discuss your case with you, and the majority will not.

I suppose a TA can call them every single day, but I really doubt it speeds up the return.

And thank you for your prayers. I am seriously considering emailing my senator. We are in dire straights financially and simply cannot keep waiting for our refund. The lady at the IRS told me last week that we really can’t expect it until the 11 weeks is up on May 16th but I told her we can’t wait that long which is why she put in a referral for a TA for us. Well the TA has yet to contact us and I am fed up!

Was given paper check to be sent 4/26, I guess maybe thats because I paper filed IS form after e-filing return. So I’m hopeful, but I’ll believe it when it gets here, but I did ask him if that is a definite date and he said yes a check will be mailed out on 4/26. So heres to hoping for everyone. Seems this week is good for all us spouses. By the way e filed 1/31, Is form received by IRS 2/07.

Well he just told me that technically even if you have a dd they aren’t supposed to tell us over the phone. He said that some people told their dd on the px are calling in irate because they haven’t received it as told, so now they can only tell us to watch WMR, even if they see a dd is coming…crazy huh? Makes sense, but sucks too. Just thought I’d share.

Return and IS submitted electronically on 1/30 but not accepted until 2/14 due to education credits. I haven’t ordered transcripts (not that I know what that means), WMR still says the same boring message and the offset hotline has not updated saying anythings been applied yet. Does anyone know of anyone thats received their refund with education credits? entering week 10 here, only took 8 weeks last year :(

Thats correct. I found this theory on a turbotax community thread so it’s no guarantee or anything but I wanted to see how the numbers were playing out for everyone that did get a dd. mine was 423,it was really close for me so maybe it will be for everyone else too? I’m supposed to get my refund tomorrow morning and I will update everyone as soon as I do.

Called three days ago for a TA and they told me it would be up to 7 days before I am contacted by a TA. I am so fed up and if there is no change on WMR tomorrow morning I will be calling the IRS again. This is ridiculous!! We have virtually no money in the bank and payday is still 9 days away. :(

I requested the help of a TA 3 days ago. I was old I would hear from one Monday. My wife told me to “just leave it alone, you can’t rush them” Well this time i’m hoping my wife is wrong. Wishing with all those that haven’t received their refunds that this week is the one.

I have the orange bar now. States refund is scheduled to be sent April 24th. My blood pressure is starting to come down. I think I’m on board with some of you.

So you would subtract 445-365=80.. Then count 80days from jan30th and then 21 days from there you should get your refund.. but that would make today your day 80, which would mean between now and 21 days from now the irs has to get you your refund…make sense? I dunno how valid it is but I thought it was pretty cool? :-)

Praying we have our money soon. Still haven’t been called by a TA and it’s been three days since I requested one…..

For one their computer system was down so that was causing a bunch of problems, and I got my first consistent answer of May 1st….at the latest. She also said that WMR is more often than not NOT changing so to start checking the bank account daily. As of next week. She couldn’t give me a DDD but she did recommend checking the account next week so….maybe next week? At least the rep and the TA have both said that the refund will be here by May 1st. My son’s birthday is May 4th so, fingers crossed LOL.

I finally received my refund in my bank this morning, very happy this is over with. My WMR did change to DDD of 4/19 on 4/17, this morning bars are still showing as approved they have not moved to sent.

If I was given a DDD and it past with no DD. That is crap. I am so sorry that you have to go through this! Wow.

Will keep updated pray for us all.

Their system is so jacked up. I am from this time on going to owe the IRS… I can make payment arrangements and make them wait for their money… Like they make us wait. This is so stupid!

Some of us have gotten good info, some of us have gotten nothing. It sucks you guys didn’t find out anything but I would still keep calling, I’ve spent a lot of time on the phone with the IRS, some wasted, some not, but in the end worth it..to me.

They don’t care and they have no answers and I agree, the government bureaucracy and red tape is ridiculous. Nothing is updated in the computer and no notes left to let the other agents know at what stage the returns are at. And it’s apparently impossible to just pick up a phone and ask.

The only thing you can do is sit, and wait, no matter how long it takes. (our first return filing IS took right at 6 months).

I too just wasted 40 minutes of my life. I broke my own rule and called the IRS. After endless elevator music, the kind lady told me my IS claim was still being processed. I explained to her that it has been 11 weeks, to which she replied “should be by the end of this month”. REALLY!!!!! SHOULD BE????? With all the technology we have, I would think my tax money would get me something better than a “should be”.

After the rather non-helpful response we got when we called Tuesday, I decided to wait a couple days and called the IRS again this evening. After giving the lady my info, she confirmed that yes indeed, it was STILL PROCESSING and we were beyond 11 weeks.

Now that won’t affect the actual return time, however if it does take that long, that would be week 16. If I’m still here by then I’ll be talking to myself haha.

Also @charbelle go ahead and call the IRS with those numbers given and order the transcripts that way if you want, but I warn you my transcript really didn’t tell me anything that I already didn’t know. Good luck on your refund. Let us know if you need any help. We are here to help each other. I know that this group has helped me a great deal. Take Care.

I don’t think you need transcripts it’s up to you. If you read further up the forum there are numbers we have been calling to get what info we could. Good luck hope you get some info :-)

I’m keeping up with what everyone is posting & my confusion & fear is getting the best of me :( the last time i called in i was told to wait the full 11 weeks and then call back-which would be on the 29th of April. I filed IS and our taxes via TT-for the first time ever on Feb. 11th. I was told they were rec’d on the 13th. In the meantime I called the automated system & found two offsets-for my student loans. My husband worked all year and I only worked a few months. The student loans were prior to our marriage. I guess my question is: what questions do I need to ask to get some information?! I am highly concerned that I may not have filled out the form properly. I would also like to know if we are getting his amount of our refund back. Do I need to mail in a hard copy? I requested transcripts via the automated line & was told our address didn’t match up with what they have on file-which blows me away because I checked & re-checked that along with our SS#’s every year that i’ve filed. How can I get transcripts-do I need them? Do they have info that can help me figure out the secrets of the IRS IS dept?!!! haha! Any help would be much appreciated! I’ve got my dialing finger all ready-but no where to go.

Can anyone tell me about how long it took for you at this stage?

Not sure if this helps or not, the whole process is turning into an insane mess. :(

I am confused. I hope that won’t happen to me? Now I am concerned.

This has been the longest I had to wait. I am in Missouri and My husband owes a great deal of money, but he has been trying to work with everyone to pay them back. I still haven’t got a letter saying that his money is offset, which really makes me mad because we probably could have gotten the money sooner, but oh well.

Our return is very straight forward. I agree that the IRS isn’t very organized this year. They are not on their J-O-B. Good luck to you. I am not holding my breathe that my refund will get in soon.

My TA just called (requested march 23rd) to make sure I got our refund I said yes so I asked her why they took 95% of our refund to pay my husbands debt she said because he made 95% of the income, I asked about the child tax credits because I have seen other people get those back she said that because it was mostly his income supporting our house that they can take those :( I didn’t even get back what I paid in I’m glad this is the only year I will have to file this since now we over paid them but that’s a whole new battle ugh good luck to everyone else still waiting

We did get a letter last year. When I called the offset line, the recorded message said we did have an offset, but gave no amount. So I don’t know what’s up with that. The lady I talked to at the IRS yesterday said that everything was processing normally and there were no problems, but she could not tell me how much of the refund was taken. Or ever if any of it was taken, she said she didn’t have access to that information.

Once they finish that, then it is manually put into the system and after processing is completed a Ddd generates within one to two weeks- he said it can take longer for mailed returns because they have to wait for the person you have the offset with to send the money back which can take up to 4 weeks but normally doesnt- if you mail your 8379 you get a paper check- you efile your 8379 its possible to get paper check and direct deposit- he said what takes longest is the processing by the computer- I just called this morning and made them explain this to me lol luckily the guy had been working with inj spouse claims for over 10 years- I know it’s not much but it’s something…

I have called the automated offset line and when I check under my husband’s ssn it does state the VA as his offset, but it doesnt give an amount or anything. I checked under mine too, just to make sure, and it didnt find any offsets for me, which is good. Just wondering if when you are closer to getting your refund if it will give you the offset amount or what? I just really want to know the status of something here, but like someone else has said… calling the IRS just adds to my frustration.

Like many people, I have been keeping tabs on this site for over a month now. I filed on 1/30 and was accepted 2/1. E-filed my return and injured spouse form the same day. This friday will be 11 weeks!!!! Figured I would “join” the club and wait with you all. I have been filing injured spouse for 6 years now. This is by far the longest it has ever taken. I have learned that calling the IRS only adds to my frustration. Every year my check comes in the mail even though I sign up for DD. I have friends who live in the same state as me , but they get their’s thru DD. Never can figure that one out.? I hope you all will post when you get your check. It has been my experience on other sites in the past that people stop posting when the money comes in, leaving the rest of us to sit and wait. Good luck to you all!

And I did not receive my refund until late fall. It was August or September.

I search around the internet and people are saying “Oh I got mine in 4 weeks with IS”. I just want to spit. It takes the longest possible time every year.

The IRS lady on the phone says they received my return 1/28 and started processing the IS on 2/6 so the refund SHOULD be here before the end of April but she had no idea bc it was still processing.

Received a letter from the Seattle Taxpayer Advocate office, after trying to expedite my return due to hardship. The letter says that the earliest the case will be resolved is May 28th, and my return was filed and accepted on 2/11/13. So it would seem that for some reason, having the advocate is going to make the process longer than the 11 weeks, looks like about 15 weeks at the earliest, and the whole point of getting the advocate is because our city is requiring us to move by May 1st. I have never been so terribly frustrated…

Then ask them when your return was received in the IS department and if it is being processed. I’m seeing in different sites that this year has been the longest it has taken for several people. It sucks that we have to wait so long!

I don’t know why I am having such a hard time understanding why no one has any info when we call or how we get such different info every time? Do you think their goal is to make us so miserable that hopefully we won’t file IS the following year? LOL. Only half kidding.

I don’t get why it takes so long. Very frustrating. Lisa120484 I was told you count the 11 weeks from the date the IS dept gets your paperwork….so whatever date that is. Every time I call and talk to someone it’s a different date so I don’t know how accurate that is. Every time I call I have NEVER been able to get any kind of concrete info out of anyone. Congrats to those getting DDDs !! Let the rest of us know how it goes!

I had the IS form taken off since I did not need it. I was told that after the 11th week that you needed to call back and ask for a TA. I did have the freeze code on my transcript of 570 as whatthebleep indicated. When the IS form was removed they told me they were removing the freeze on my return. I was also told it was 11 weeks form acceptance date and then form 2/14 then from the date my returns was accepted by IS department on 2/25. I did read in the IRS website that it is from acceptance date but who knows… Know lets hope I get it on 4/19 and not have to wait the 3 to 4 days after as was indicated to whattthebleep. I hope you all get your DDD soon.

I talked to a lady who did not help me one bit. She basically said the average time is 9 weeks or something. 9 weeks from what date… the filing date… the acceptance date… what? Geez… I dont understand why they can be so rude and keep their jobs. I guess I will start calling daily as well. I just want an estimated date. We’re expecting a baby in 3 weeks and our refund would be nice to have.

The lady was super nice bud said that we won’t even reach the 11 weeks until May 9th? WTF? I so don’t understand anything about the dates this year. Called a TA, he said he for sure saw that the IS dept got our stuff on 2/18 so refund no later than May 1st…..so….I have no idea. LOL. Goodluck to everyone else today.

Each of the previous 2 years it has taken the full 11 weeks. This year is a bonus however. We passed 11 weeks on Friday and after calling the IRS last night, her bounty of information was, “It’s still processing. Call back if you haven’t received it by the end of April”. Also WMR hasn’t moved from “our tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” in 2 months.

I just have the hard copy of the transcript that I ordered via mail. Is there an updated transcript you can look at online?

She took my information and referred me to a TA, who will contact me within 7 days. So more waiting. *sigh* And there is no guarantee the TA can help. She could not give me the amount of my refund after the offset, she didn’t have that information, but said there were no problems with our return and everything is processing normally. She also gave me the standard “injured spouse takes up to 11 weeks,” and that would put us at getting our refund by May 16th. I told her there is no way we can wait that long. Behind on our car payment and they want their money soon and we only have the one car. She was puzzled why the lady in the TA dept. transferred me and didn’t go ahead and take my information and get things started. I told her I was puzzled by that too. Oh well, it’s the IRS…nothing they do surprises me anymore.

That’s one fact I have been able to substantiate in this debacle, and I just wanted to share.

I’ve been stalking for awhile (creepy I know)! I was a participant last year and was trying so very hard to be patient this year as we have had to file IS for 3 years now but UGH it’s getting ridiculous. So, here’s my story. E-filed on 1/30, accepted on 1/31 except we had damn education credits so not really accepted until 2/14 I guess? WMR changed about 2 weeks after that and then NOTHING. Started calling around the end of March and been getting the usual 11 week run around, as well as a different date from every rep we talk to. They have been unusually rude this year as well. Some tell me to count the 11 weeks from when we originally filed, some from the 2/14 date, some from 3/11? So I have no idea what’s going on. My hubs is a police academy student and I’m at home with the kids so needless to say we need the $$ as badly as anyone else…..I’m currently on hold with the “advanced individual account dept” thanks to whatthebleeps great tip!!! Hopefully I will get some answers and will be able to update with good news. So, 11 weeks THIS week if we count from the original file date and 9 weeks from the education credits acceptance date…..ugh. Stupid IRS. Thanks for listening to the whine guys!!

We e-filed on 2/21 with the IS form, so it will be 8 weeks tomorrow since we filed. I don’t remember when it was actually accepted through the IRS as I didnt keep notes… I should have though. I did order our transcripts, but it doesnt give much information. On the “Received” line… should that be the date that they received the refund? Because ours says 4/15, which is odd I think. But who knows, I reallyd ont know what I am looking at there.

I havent called at all yet as I was trying to be patient and wait out the 11 weeks. Our offset is due to my husband’s overpayment from the VA for the GI Bill. Maybe that’s why it’s taking so long?

I still have not seen any change on my WMR. My funds were unfrozen on 4/10 but still no update. My return was forward to IS department on 2/25. Hopefully we will see a DDD this week.

She was really nice and she is getting my account expedited. I am so thankful. Thank you everyone for all the great information. Hopefully this will help. If anyone else has real bad problems call the advocate line they are really helpful. Their number is 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TTD: 1-800-829-4059. Call they have been so helpful so far.

From now on I am not filing an injured spouse form until they send a letter. Also I now would rather owe the IRS rather than have the IRS owe us. It’s so stupid. All the people I have spoke with from the IRS have no answers except that I have to wait till May the 4th to the 8th to finish processing the paperwork. WHY? It isn’t rocket science… SIGH.

So when they had the DD ready they had no clue who to send it to, he is resubmitting it in the morning he says…..hopefully two week wait and not another 8.

Im usually very good about keeping notes. Im not even sure when i sent the form out. It still shows the offset information. Being that its worst time to call right now ill wait bit more. Havent gotten a thing in the mail. Thanks

I filed my taxes back on 2/1 and was accepted 2/2 the Irs however has me being accepted 2/5. I can’t seem to get anything but the same old 11week spill. This is my third time filing as an injured spouse I never really counted the days. This year has been super tough financially on my family so I am on edge as to when we will receive our $$. I see some that have filed after me yet they say they have received there DD.

She said that they have had cases where it has taken 3-10 days after deposit date for people to actually have money in hand, so she wanted me to be prepared in case it happens to me. I don’t know the reason behind it, and she could only tell me it was to do with their deposit system. I bank with USAA so I’m not too worried about any issues on my end. I am also extremely flustered by all of the IRS’s huge failures at communication, and disorganization, and I’m a pretty easy going gal :-) the way I have looked at it is this : it is what it is. No matter what I do, they are going to do what they do, and my money is going to be released when they release it. A TA is out of the question for me because I’m not financially struggling,so all I can do is hope that someone there is doing their job. For all of you out there that do rely on this refund to balance your budget, you are not alone we have all been there and that’s why we come back to this site over and over because two minds are better than one, and the more knowledge we share the more informed we are on what lies ahead.

I thought that the money is supposed to go into our account on the exact DD that they give us….It is so wrong how IRS jerks us all around. I know one thing, after going though the long wait this year I will think twice before filing an injured spouse form again.

I’m hoping that applies to you too, and that you will receive funds this week. The rep I had was extremely helpful and nice I’m assuming because calls have slowed down, so if I were you I would call again oh and I also only waited on hold for 7 minutes.

I filed with TT but mailed in IS form and they received it 2/7. They have been telling me for the last month that refund is there just waiting for DD but ITS BEEN SITTING THERE FOR A MONTH. I’m starting to think it somehow got forgotten by their system, but I’m scared to ask for a release of funds cause they say that can take up to 30 days which may delay longer. But I’ll probably hear the same thing when my 1-2 weeks is up. Do you call IRS, what have they told you?

Anyway, no change for me on WMR, was really hoping and praying to see a DD this morning. I have read on other sites that a few people that filed around when I did are getting a DD for this week. Please Lord, we need our money badly. Praying that everyone gets good news soon. :)

Accepted 1/31. Told a few weeks ago check would be issued 4/9, then told DD by 4/15. Still nothing. Just called “well its sitting there ready for DD but hasn’t been through that part of the system yet, should definitly have it in 1-2 weeks” what BS. Any injured spouse people got theirs yet?

Yes, it does suck that we have to wait but at least its not just me! Here’s my story: I filed and was accepted 2/22 (Friday) with the injured spouse form through TurboTax. I have been looking every day at WMR and it changed about 2 weeks after I filed to “its being processed and you’ll get a refund date when available” blah blah blah. I went online today and checked WMR and the status has changed to “we have received your refund and it is being processed”. What I’m hoping is that, based on others experiences via reading this forum, that my family will get our refund within this week. I’ll keep you posted! Fingers crossed!

They are telling me May the 4th. I got my transcripts and it says that they finally processed our refund on March the 11th, but they got the return on February 16th. I am so upset right now. I am so upset to about how the IRS personnel or so rude and inconsiderate. Wow… Good luck to all of you.

Got orange bar thingy that they received but the last week and half it changed to no bar, just a message: Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” Did call in to many phone # and finally spoke to an actual live person…told me that they received my return & it’s been assigned to someone for processing. Status: well, told could take to the end of May to complete a return w/IS attached. Our tax dollars at work…they can take our money faster but that can’t process it due to bureaucratic BS (debt ceiling, fiscal crisis, etc) We’re basically paying for them to all sit in DC with their finger in their butts.

We found out that our house is now being condemned, so thankfully the FB group was able to tell me about tax advocates. I called them, and was informed not only did we have an offset with the Department of Education, but now the IRS is saying that we owe $2800 is back taxes from 2008, which is ridiculous. I called the IRS and was able to straighten it out, but so thankful to the advocates, because otherwise I would never have known. Plus, they are working on an expedition of our refund for hardship, since we will have no place to live in 2 weeks. I definitely recommend them if you have an imminent problem and you need your refund to get to you faster. My plan had been to wait it out, unfortunately that is no longer an option…

I was accepted 1/24 , I had education credits so waited till 2/14. I was told that my return went to IS department on 2/25 and I had to wait 11 weeks from 2/25. He said if I did not have my refund by then to call back and ask for a TA . He did say my return is still being proceeded, since I do not need the injured spouse I asked him if there was anything I can do. He then just told me to hold and reviewed my account and he took the time to take off the freeze off my account, he told me to hold on the line till he finished unfreezing my funds. He then told me I was all set. I have called 4 other times since I filed to let the IRS know I did not need the form and they all told me I had to wait it out and there was nothing I could do. I did ask to speak to the inured spouse line and when representative came on line the first thing he asked if I filed injured spouse claim. So I’m guessing only the injured spouse department can remove form since this is the only time I asked to speak to someone in insured spouse department. Does anyone knowhow long it would take after they unfreeze funds to get DDD? I forgot to ask I was just so happy that he removed form.

F/A 01/31. wmf switched from ddd to offset on 2/16. Didn’t know about IS until end of February. Sent 8379 to IRS on 3/01. Have been waiting since. Got a TA and talked to her on 04/01 (no April fools ). She told me the IRS has my IS but wouldn’t or couldn’t tell me when it was received. Faxed her my papers 2 times that week. Got a VM from a lady telling me she was taking over my case from the other TA and she can’t find my papers to fax them to he. Offset is from husband’s Dept ED from loans before we were married, Community Prop state AZ.OH, I ordered my transcripts yesterday when I found this group and saw that most of you had done that. Is there anything else I should do/have done?

Will update if I ever see any money!!!!

I then called the offset office, and it looks like the offset has already been received and dispersed to the Department of Education, so I know at least know what the amount of my refund will be, which is actually much more than I anticipated. Still no word on the timeline, but the 11th week starts on April 29th, so I am hoping to hear something soon.

This is my second year filing IS, but since my husband is the IS, and for tax year 2011 he had no income, we received our 2011 refund quickly, because there wasn’t much refunded.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        2012 is a whole different story. I filed our taxes on 2/11, it was accepted on 2/11. IS form was filed electronically with our taxes. The non-tax debt is defaulted student loans in my name. For 2012, my husband was the higher earner, which is good, but we also spent 6 months in Louisiana and 6 months in Washington, both of which have different community property laws, so I imagine this process is going to take a while. I have not heard anything from the IRS as of yet, but I also haven’t made any calls to them either. I will probably try calling them tomorrow, does anyone have a recommendation on which number to try?

Filed on 2/11 accepted on 2/13. i called in at about 5 weeks 800-829-0582 x362 and they basically told me to keep checking the website-which still says “still being processed- a refund date will be provided when available”. so i waited. today i called and upon hearing a human-i asked what ‘accepted’ meant-and was told that they run it thru a few quick checks, names, ss#’s additional filings-and if all is well it moves on-i then stated my file date & said i hadn’t heard a word via mail, email or otherwise and that i was terrified that i had done something wrong-being a novice at this-she laughed and said she would look up our filing-she came back with-oh i see you filed an injured spouse form and that takes 11 weeks-giving me the date of april 29th. she said that from what she could tell we hadn’t made any mistakes and that she had no idea what the offset dept was doing so that it was taking so long-but we should see a dd within a couple of weeks…that may sound like a long time but up until i heard that i was dealing with the time frame of never-forever….anyway she also stated that if i hadnt heard anything to be sure to call back so that they could escalate my filing and get a supervisor to figure why we had a delay-she asked how many times i had called before early in our convo-so this was also promising…i know i’m not giving a whole lot of help-but maybe just a little hope :)

Change much just the “a refund date will be provided when available ” disappeared about 3 days before deposit I got mine last Thursday and wmr still says processing, I’m guessing it because you original tax return is changed as the amounts are so it doesn’t update? Also some people get TA’s and that speeds it up a lot also your file date doesn’t have anything to do with how long you’ve been waiting even if you filed 1/1/13 the IRS didn’t open until 1/30 (they did run test batches) but when you have education credits it wasn’t accepted until 2/14 that means you are in the 7th week of waiting maybe the 8th tomorrow I am a 0605’er I got mine last week so maybe 2 more weeks but I also got a TA and 3 days later mine was processed

I called IRS yesterday and they told me if I do not have any changes on WMR by Friday to call them since my 11 week was Friday. I was previously told by IRS rep. I had to wait till end of April for my 11th week . My cycle date is 805, I did see on Facebook Injured spouse page that there is still people waiting for refunds with 605 and 705 cycle dates but there is some 805 cycle dates that have received there DDD. Also seems as not many people are getting DDD this week.

The VA over paid my husband when he was using the GI Bill last year and he was told they would deduct what he owes from our taxes… which would have been the whole refund.

Our WMR states that it is still processing and a refund date will be provided when available… so just like everyone else… we wait.

I filed an injured spouse form along with my return electronically. It was accepted on 2/28 and the injured spouse form was accepted on 3/5. I cannot get any answers from IRS as to what is going on. I had 2 representative tell me that it usually does not take 11 weeks and on an average 7-8 weeks, but they have to say it’s going to take 11 weeks This is my first year filing this form and I was hoping I would get my refund before the 11 weeks.

She said that it is a computer issue and was escalated to their code unit to determine what codes will let it pass thru the system, she also stated that it could be an additional 8-12 weeks….here’s to hoping the rest of you do not run into this coding issue. :(

Cycle date on transcripts of 20130905, I was told by BartD the cycle date doesn’t really mean anything.

April 6th was six weeks since we filed. I know that injured spouse refunds can take up to 11 weeks, but was really hoping that it would be a lot sooner. I think it is ridiculous that it take so long. Have considered getting a TA because husband and I are both unemployed with no health insurance and we both need to see a dr. for health issues and can’t until we get our refund. But then I heard that a TA can’t help you unless you are in danger of eviction or utilities being shut off. Ugh! Have any of your gotten your refund yet and how long did you wait?

He also asked for my number in case they had any additional questions for me, however I can not fathom with as hard as it its to get answers that they would have the time to call me back. I am considering calling back to see if I can get someone else that can elaborate a little more.

However, this is the first time I’ve seen it in an injured spouses case, did the agent say exactly what was wrong? For all we know it could just be a different way of saying you have to wait 11-14 weeks which is the irs estimated time frame to process injured spouse refunds.

I called on April 4th and was told it was in a transaction phase so no date could be given, but I could expect my return in within two weeks . I called back today on the 8th of April to see if I could possibly get a date for deposit. Upon doing so the person on the line informed me that the computer saw something it didnt like and when this happens they have to reprocess …he told me it could be an additional 6-8weeks ?!?!? This is for a school loan of my spouses that was offset which I am not responsible for, does that seem right that it would be another 6-8 weeks? …./depressingly yours waiting13

We did not get any interest for 2011, but we got about $300 interest on the 2010 check. What stinks is then at the end of the year the IRS sent us a 1099 for the interest & it actually had to be listed on this years IS form as income. Because the check was in both of our names, I had to claim $146 income (1/2 the amount) on the IS form. My husband is the IS & is only source of income so I hope that measly little $146 didn’t mess thing up.

Right now the system is down, so i cannot check the latest status. My sister in law was also told that the internet site and mobile app for WMR is not as up to real time as the phone hotline. I not sure, they both tell me that my tax return is still being processed and adate will be provided when available. Frustrating.

I called IRS on my 42nd day, which was a Monday. I was told that I would receive my refund on that Friday which would be day 45. I did not and still have not received it. I called this past week, which was my 62nd day and the lady told me that I needed to wait until day 77 (11 weeks) to call again. She said that they do not give our info until atleast week 11. I am so tired of the run around. It would be nice if everyone gave the same info. But each time you call, it could be 5 times in a row; each rep gives you different info. My status still shows that is is being processed. I filed 1/30-excepted 2/1 and according to a couple reps, it was sent to injured spouse claim department on 2/7. I hope they figure it out. And where do I find info regarding interest? I have never heard of that. Thanks

Filed 1/31 accepted, offset 2/7, mailed in injured spouse form 2/7. Just talked to helpful guy at IRS, Said everything was done processing and money was received back from Dept. of Education 3/9 but that automatic 4 week hold of funds after they get them back for all offsets. Money is scheduled to be released to me 4/9 but it won’t be DD it will be paper check, (he said all IS claims are mailed checks, but I’ve seen people on here say they got theirs DD, so I’m hoping for DD but I’ll be happy with a check by 4/15. Will update if I ever see money. Good luck to all of us, maybe our blood pressure will go down soon.

Well at 1AM my phone sent me an alert of not 1 but 2 deposits! Child Support didn’t even take my hubby’s return so we got the full amount this AM! I couldn’t go back to sleep and didn’t go back to sleep until 3AM all I could do was lay there haha. FYI my return was accepted on 2/2/13, my transcripts had a cycle date of 20130605 and the processing date was April 15th while the received date on the transcript showed 2/25/13.

File with the IRS or wait for the refund from dept of education? If I file a dispute and lose and the IRS holds the money longer we could end up over paying a lot more and having to wait for them to give the money back, I don’t really NEED the money I just wanted to do some home improvements

Just thought I’d let you know :) thanks for all of your help and information :-)

I am waiting for my refund. My husband has his refund offset. So we filed injured spouse with our return on 2/16. I know that it takes at least 8 weeks, but the waiting is hard. Last year It didn’t take so long, only 6 weeks. This time it seems like an eternity. I called the IRS and the first time was okay, but the second time the person was really rude. I am waiting for the transcripts now. We may just file separately after this… Not cool. I am, however, taking out the maximum deductions now out of my paycheck. I rather owe the IRS than wait for them to return my money. I mean thousands they owe me…

The man helping me was very nice but I think he was new because he kept asking someone,” Is that right?” or “Where do I get that information?” . He was not in the injured spouse department but was able to see that they had my form and said it looks like it is in the final stages. So I guess this isn’t an injured spouse specific number. Sorry about that! He also said most injured spouse forms are taking about 8 weeks this year. Oh! I also looked at WMR today and it had changed BACK to the message from before(Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available) and the number and extension from yesterday are gone now.

Please wait 4 weeks until after filing to call for information about your refund. I filed the 25th of Feb electronically with the Injured Spouse attached. It then said, ” If you would like additional information about your refund please call 1-800-829-0582 and ask for extension 362. Not sure if this is helpful!

At least we all have each other, or we would never find out anything! So the number you gave is also the number to find out if you have an offset, so it makes sense that we would be able to call them to see what f any progress is being made i think?. I’m going to try it! I’ll report back what I find out.. Thanks @pamela79 :-)

He also said that direct deposits are cycling a little slower than mailed returns this year as well, but he couldn’t explain why? Thanks for the info though, I’m sure they have lots of stories circulating out there! :-) good luck!

We filed our taxes electronically and they were accepted February 2nd. When we found that the return was being held for another debt, my husband filed an injured spouse form and it was mailed around the 13th of February. We received our check in the mail today (April 1, 2013) for the full amount of our refund. This morning, WMR still said that our return was being processed. We never received a date on WMR, but we did receive letters from the IRS in the mail at the end of last week that said we would be receiving the full amount of our return sometime in the next few weeks.

Accepted 02/28. WMR updated to “take action” on 03/05 and then changed to tell me about the offset on 03/07. Mailed IS form on 03/11. My question is, will WMR actually change again when they process my form so I’ll be able to tell something has been done? This is our first year filing IS. Thanks for any information!

He thought that because he was my spouse and that he is a disabled veteran (injured) that he was supposed to file that form. This was our first year filing on our own and we paper filed. It’s crazy because now we are waiting 11+ weeks and we really shouldn’t have to. I have asked many tax experts and they cant help. This is a burden.

I ordered my transcripts on 2/22/2013 had processing date of 03/11/2013 and cycle date of 20130805. I called IRS last week and they told me it will be awhile before I see a DD date.

It seems like those that filed theirs after being offset are getting done first. I have seen a few with cycle date 0505 getting their DD for the 20th. I am a cycle date of 06/05. Maybe that means soon but not going to bank on it.

And if so, what was your processing date and cycle date? my processing date is march 18, and my cycle date is 20130905 which is 9 weeks after jan 30th and the 05 means a Thursday .some people are getting deposits on their cycle dates..so if that’s the case I should hopefully be getting a deposit on April 4th..just wanted to see if we could all compare ? Thanks :)

I mailed in an injured spouse form on 2/6. Called yesterday (3/18) just to make sure they received my paperwork and the lady from the IRS (who was very helpful) said they did receive my paperwork and I have a DD date of 3/26.

Haven’t received a thing. Called this morning and was told not to even bother calling until 11 weeks were up. This is the first time I’ve ever had to file because I just got married this past year and I had no idea it would take this long. I have bills due that I planned on paying this month with my tax return because I am switching jobs. :( I hope that we get a refund soon!

My bars dissapeared in the middle of February. I sent the injuried spouse form in BY ACCIDENT, electronically, because Turbo Tax carried it over from last year (which we didn’t end up needing it and had our taxes within 4 weeks last year.)

At that point it’s only how long it takes to get DD or mailed. It should be DD so I am hoping a week after that. As long as I get it by April 6th.

I was told last year, even though some student loan stuff was fixed, to still file the form because they didn’t think it would be out of the system by tax time. I filed on February 20th and Recieved my refund in my bank by March 21st. Did not need the form. This year, even though there are no offsets it still needs to be processed and sit in the stupid department.

I e-filed my taxes this year through Turbo Tax online for free, I also sent the INjured Spouse form along electronically as well. Sumitted it on Feb.16th and it showed in WMR it was accepted Feb.18th. Then I lost all orange bars March 4th and now it is STUCK in Still Processing. I am still watching this site closely to see if ANYONE has received their REFUND this year that filed form 8379 with their taxes? I will check her daily for any update and if anyone can direct me to the Facebook page for INJURED PEEPS that would be great!

Filed the second, accepted the second. I have been told it was accepted on the 31st of January (rolls eyes) and the fifth. I was able to order both return and account transcripts and know it is in the IS department. First year it took 8 weeks (paper return). Second year efiled and that was only six weeks. Still in processing and have called once a week for the past 3 weeks.

The IS department received it on the 14th of February. On Monday I received a letter stating they increased the refund amount and I should get it within 2-3 weeks. I did call on this one to find out if that included the IS returns date. Was told it was set to be release on March 27 by 1 rep but it said it was in open control which implied IS still had its hands on it. So she sent me to IS department who said he only tells you if you qualify and it will take 11 weeks from the date on the letter. Called back the next day and to try and get a valid answer. The rep i could barely understand and was impatient and did not look anything up. Just said I would get it within 10 business days of the letter date. So I called again and the third rep was a little helpful but still no valid answers as to the actually date on that one.

Some hope is better than no hope and I do keep hoping I will see more getting their returns filed.

I e-filed it with our federal return through Turbo Tax myself. I filed & it was accepted on Feb 7th 2013…I am still getting the ‘your return is being processed’ message on the WMR site.

We filed in late January and are supposed to get the money on Wednesday. We e-filed, both return and 8379 together, direct deposit. Did the same method last year, had our return in 3 1/2 weeks. The previous year, e-filed the return, MAILED in the 8379…and got the money in 10 1/2 weeks. So it’s with what works for you personally, I guess. Congrats on getting a deposit date!

This morning, after “only” 37 days since filing (early), the WMR tool updated from “Still processing” to a deposit date of Wednesday. This notes the first time in years of filing that the WMR tool has EVER actually reverted back to a deposit date after denoting the offset/processing, although last year we received our refund back after only 3 1/2 weeks after filing the 8379 (WMR never reverted back to a DDD or anything). This year will have been roughly 2 weeks longer, but we definitely aren’t complaining!

I waited one week and personally mailed in my Injured spouse form. I waited two more weeks, called to verify that they recieved it. They had. And they said they already put in for a release of our money that was sent off to XXX. They said five days later that they will be releasing the money on March 11 2013 or before. So this year I’ve only waited six weeks total by mailing in my Injured spouse form. It always and I stress ALAWAYS took the 11 weeks if I electronically filed it with my tax return.

The theory is that if you can order the return one it is done processing. If you can and then order the account transcript it might give you more info. I have mine and it has a processing date of 2/25. I have been told that is my DD date but who trully believes what the IRS says.

He said that for people without IS forms that is the DD and for us it is the date that it will be released for DD. I guess we will see soon since my date is next Monday and I have seen some that have today as the processing date. Anyone called them yet this week?

Even after they process the return it has to go through the injured spouse process. I’ve not heard of an injured spouse receiving their refund yet or even having wmr updated past the normal processing message. Who knows if they’ve even began processing injured spouse forms?… For all we know they won’t even start until a later date.

It has helped, me a lot with questions.

My transcript says processing 2/25 but they told me that they have to do something before 2/18. I am not sure that I believe what the IRS says but it cant hurt to hope. We are 2 weeks into our 11 week (hopfully less) wait. I wonder what if going to happen this year. Keep us posted if you hear anything or get a DD.

I think its due to my address being different now.I found a great group on facebook just for injured spouse filers.you both should check it out.its nice to follow other people in the same situation and I can’t wait to see one of them get there refund so I will have hope of the irs moving things quickly
