2/18 filers or close let's keep wack other updated!

Oh not well, waited the 21 days and called IRS, they told me they sent me a letter in the mail requesting additional info, haven’t received the letter yet but they said once I submit the documents/info they request could take an additional 6 weeks to process and see the refund. Oh well, good thing we weren’t counting on it for anything.

@Bill haven’t heard from you in awhile hun how goes it?

Ordered both transcripts 3/4
Woke up to DDD forc. 3/9
Finallly!!!! Im glad the wmr checking is overrr!
I will update when I see my DD ON NETSPEND

Goodmorning! I was able to order Both transcripts this morning!!! Praying for DDD update on WMR soon!! Most most people get update the next day!! Please let this be my 2 bar update!

Filed: 2/17
Accepted: 2/17

Still 1 bar as of this morning and can’t order either transcripts. Hoping, no praying tomorrow I wake up to something different for the big Sat update but seeing as I can’t order either transcript I don’t have a good feeling that its going to work out that way. Either way Ill update everyone tomorrow, hope some of the others here still with me had some better news about there transcripts being available?

@Crystal

Glad to hear you got everything and it went smoothly!

Hello everyone I just checked my bank account and my refund funded no issues. Hopefully everyone else sees some progress this weekend or early next week! Nice thing is it seems when people get a DDD it is within a couple of days which is better than waiter over a week for it to fund.

my gf filed on 2/23 and got her refund today. state and federl (california). i filed same day and nothing

Still the same no movement and still can not order any transcript’s neither

STILL @1 baar TT152. NO return transcript. Hopefully we see a DDD THIS saturday that would ease my mind tons…

Still at one bar, still no transcripts as of this morning. =(

Filed and accpt feb 19th no transcripts tt152…processing…filed with turbo tax…netspend card for deposit

@Bill Filed and accepted 19th cant order transcript with old or new address…hoping for DDD THIS WEEK…

@bill same here no movement. This is get discouraging.

@bill I’m sure you will be able to order your transcripts sometime this week latest Monday and get your ddd for next week

@Crystal – Congrats!

Still at 1 bar and still no transcripts available

Okay checked wmr got a ddd for 3/4 can already seeing it pending in bank to post on 3/4 finally I’m so excited I’m moving in two weeks so timing is prefect!

Ok update finally got dd on emerald card at 1:45 AM EST. best of luck n see u guysngals next year !

Finally got federal on emerald card at 1:45 EST. good luck everyone!

Nothing new to update, ddd 3/2 it’s his pending on emerald card but I guess it’s not gonna update till around 3 am tonight. Maybe I’ll take a nap set my alarm and make sure I get my cash!!

I am not getting that much back littler over 2000 is it and still NO movement. I cant order transcripts with new address either. Hopefully I can order transcripts soon and get a DDD. This is just nuts I field and accepted 02/18 I have never had to wait this long before.

If you can order your return transcript, then your return is done being processed and one of three things have happened…

1. You’re approved and WMR will update soon
2. Your refund was pulled for manual review
3. You’re being audited (Highly unlikely)

But the fact that you can order your transcripts is a good thing, your return is done processing and you will probably be getting your refund in a few days.

Hopefully this helps everyone. My tax preparer filed my taxes August 16th but it didn’t show up on wmr until August 19th. So I’m not sure when it was actually accepted I assumed August 19th because that was when I could see it in the system.

@Bill I’m getting a little bit more than you back so I don’t know if it is the amounts or if they do only a certain amounts at a time.

I could order my return transcript this morning but not sure if that mean much. Will find out.

Im still at one bar filed feb 19 accepeted 19th still cant order transcripts ugh im starting to see everybody get ddd and im sitting here like wth

The waiting is the hardest part. Come on 3:30am!!!!!

@Bill

I filed 2-18 and was approved last Saturday… And since your refund hasn’t had any significant changes, that shouldn’t be an issue. But, its possible to get pulled randomly for review… which would really suck..

@Josalyn
Thanks, I appreciate and feel better when I know others are with me on this and I’m not alone, although I hope its just a matter of time. I’m praying tomorrow or Saturday for an update, after that I guess its time to call. Just curious does the refund amount make any diff? I’m expecting about $7500, but its been the same every year for 5 years, and never had a delay. I heard smaller returns get processed quicker.

Also I will say looking at the 2/11 filers a lot were just given an WMR update last Saturday, so if we’re in step with them it could just be a matter of a few more days.

Here’s hoping and positive. Luckily I didn’t bank on getting my return for anything so i can be patient, but its torture none the less.

Anyone else still not approved with no transcripts?

Bill

But my bars haven’t disappeared so I guess that’s avoid sign.

@ bill I understand your pain I’m in the same boat still at 1 bar and can not order transcript’s neither of them I’m starting to get worried

@Greg

That would make sense last year I filed right at the end of tax season and got them back fast. This year filed earlier and it is taking longer.

Another thing I learned was that the majority of people having problems with their tax returns were early fillers, like myself. I learned that most people that file fraudulent returns are early filers, therefore they are more scrutinized and closely watched by the IRS. I will NEVER file early again.

WHAT THE FUCK

If you lose your bars on WMR, and your refund is still processing… Then most likely your return was pulled, possibly randomly, for manual review. I know that nobody wants to hear that, but 2 years ago, I was unfortunate enough to have my return pulled for review and had my ‘bars’ on WMR disappear. I had a simple return, wasn’t getting allot of money back, and my income nor employer had changed.. I also filed early…. I didn’t get my refund until almost May, and everyone else that shared my unfortunate problem had also lost their bars on WMR. Anyone that doesn’t get a refund, doesn’t get their return approved, or loses their bars on WMR after 21 days should order their transcripts and should absolutely start calling the IRS frequently and regularly. Your transcripts will give you info on your return’s status. Your return could be waiting for manual review, or worse yet, waiting to be audited.

Also, talk to others online that are having similar issues, especially before acquiring a tax advocate. I learned that most people that got a tax advocate in 2014, had the process complicated, resulting in them having to wait longer for their refunds to be issued. Having your review pulled for review is extremely frustrating, but patience goes a long way. I waited till nearly May for my refund, however, the majority of people that had tax advocates had to wait much longer…

@crystal I hear that!! Can I also add that since I got my ddd of 3/2 on Saturday the last 3 days just have dragged all day and night (getting a pretty large deposit that I really need). Anyway best of luck and keep us in the loop, I’ll do the same when I get my dd.

Filed: 2/17
Accepted: 2/17

Again, still at 1 bar this morning, and still no transcripts available, I’m getting a bad feeling now

@Jen Thanks! I sure do hope so. If so this year almost took the whole 21 days which as long as I get it within the 21 days not so bad but it is torture waiting for an update!

Congrats crystal!! You will probably update Friday for a ddd next wed 3/9ddd? !! Anyway that’s awesome hang in there it’s coming!!

Hello everyone I just checked wmr it says the same thing one bar processing refund. However I was able to finally order my return transcript! So hopefully if the whole transcript this is true I will see a DDD this week!

Hey guys ddd 3/2 no deposit yet. I guess what everyone is saying is true that I’ll get my money around 3:30am est. tomorrow night. One more day!! Yay!

Still at 1 bar….only able to order account transcrpt with old address….return transcript not available…new address wont work at all…so Im still waiting….I hope this is the week baby!!!!!

@Bill yup still in your same boat
@ Ron yes I did mine online but I have always done mine on line last year was the first year ever having a problem. I had to get a tax advocate I was in review for two months they finally released it in the end of april. But my thing is this everything checked out to be correct so why in the hell are they putting the same ppl back in review. So far I have no review but it still is taking forever. I don’t think I will get reviewed I think they are just behind. But they ate behind because of the way they are set up. If I review a person last year and their return was correct I’m not going to review them again the next year because they are obviously doing their taxes accurately and truthfully but if keep putting the same ppl thru review I’m going to get behind. I mean think about it not this many ppl can be on review they don’t have the man power to handle it. I think we just have too be patient we will start to see movement this week. There are still a ton of ppl firm jn and the beginning of Feb that do not have movement no holds and still are on 1 bar.

Return Transcript ordered – 2/26
DDD update on WMR – 2/27

Getting my refund 3/2. So it seems the predictions are RIGHT. Once you can order RETURN scripts, the next day you will get your DDD on the IRS website. My husband didn’t even have a orange bar and I only had 1 bar highlighted. Now we both have a 3/2 deposit, was able to order on Friday. Saturday WMR updated!!
WOOHOOO good luck to everyone :) happy tax season

Well another disappointing day, woke up and still at one bar, and still no transcripts available for 2015 to download.

Anyone else left in same boat?

MIne has said this the entire time since 02/19 I filed 02/18

We have received your tax return and it is being processed.
You should get your refund within 21 days from the date we received your tax return.

Please check here or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go, to check on your refund status.
Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 152, Refund Information

Filed and Accepted 2/18 (Turbo Tax)
Approved 2/27 on WMR with DDD of 3/2

@Ron no I have a tax preparer same one I have used for 10 years.

Crystal and Jocelyn did u both use an online tax service? I know A lot of them are being reviewed this year because of issues with fraud.

@josalyn I’m a federal employee also last year I had mine within 10 days and so far no progress I hope it is this week.

@Bill were in the same boat maybe we will see. Something Monday. Still at one bar still can not order transcriptions either. But I went thru this last year sobi pray its not a repeat. And the thing is I work for the govt everything always checks out to be correct and I have never had identity theft kept personal health care thru my job so I would think it would faster to process but we haven’t received any letters so i guess that’s a good thing let’s just keep praying because I really need this money. My money. Starting life over with two little girls and being by yourself as adult is never easy so this money would really bless our situation. I mean were not down and out but it sure would lighten the load. Ya know!

Hey guys forgot to update I finally have a ddd for 3/2. Next year I’ll get net spend but this year I’m waiting for Wednesday. I’ll let u know when I get another update.

Well misery loves company at least I’m not alone. Anyone else still waiting for approval?

Update. Filed & accepted 2/19, ordered transcripts 2/26, WMR updated this morning with a DDD of 3/2

@bill

I feel you! I know we all want our tax returns but it has only been a little over a week. We have to wait the 21 days before calling. Hopefully next week will be our week, we might have just been the ones they picked not to get our refunds early. I’m sure we will receive them within the 21 days. Although it would really suck if something was wrong!

Filed: 2/17
Accepted: 2/17

As of this morning still 1 bar, no movement, ad still can not order either account or return transcripts. Has anyone tried calling? Is it too soon?

Still at one bar filed in 02/18 what gives?

3/2ddd!!!!!

Good news. Filed accept. 2/18 hnr emerald w fees, ordered return trans today. 1 bar but called emerald card and message said congratulations fed returns are complete we will notify you once funds are loaded. Last year I got my funds on my ddd at 3:30am eastern and it was before wmr updated to refund sent. So tonight should be a big update w ddd’a for 3/2!!

I filed 2/18,
accepted 2/18

Wednesday 2/24 my 2015 transcripts were unavailable. I didn’t check yesterday, however, both transcripts are available today (Fri 2/26)

I am still at one bar on WMR, However, last year I received my refund before WMR updated to “Approved.” It wasn’t until the following day that it updated with a DDD of the next day. It skipped approved all together for me… I’m hopeful, but not hopeful because I don’t want to jinx myself. lol

The reason why you cannot order transcripts online anymore is because last year “criminals” accessed the website and attempted to steal 200,000 transcripts, but were only successful in retrieving half.

Here’s a statement that the IRS released on the matter…
https://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Statement-on-the-Get-Transcript-Application

Filed 2/18 accepted 2/18 Hnr block emerald card w fees coming out, I was able to order return transcript, I’m at TT 152 return is being processed. Here’s to an update tonight for ddd 3/2!!

I still have no update cant order transcript with new adress.. I have always always gotten the update Saturday with DDD for Friday so im assuming tomorrow will update. Im still at 1 bar and process stuff… I got the DD for my state of 02/25 but i dont have it yet

Why are transcripts not available to view online this year? I filed/was accepted 2/19 and was able to order both transcripts today, but will have to wait for them to come in the mail to see what they say. Is it a good sign that I was able to order both today? This was my first time trying this year so far.

@wck&me THANK YOU for the optimism.. I will update everyone on tomw morning, Looking for that DDD!!!! Happy Friday all

@Tima–being able to order refund transcripts is a good thing! I’d bet WMR will update tomorrow with a DDD date for you. Yay!

I was finally able to order my transcripts and my hubbys. Still NO movement on WMR since the day I filed on 2/16. Im hoping that since I was able to order return scripts today my DD date should be coming soon!! does anyone concur?

Husband still has the “received and processing” note, with no bars but I was able to order his transcripts so im hoping tomw we wake up to a DDD..

Anyone else in my boat?

Wow EO u got yours fast!! Hopefully we will all see DDD’s on Friday night/Saturday morning for next wed!!! Cmon money!! Next week should be great!

Filed 2/17 Approved 2/18 (evening) with Direct Deposit Scheduled to be sent 2/25 Today

Current bar status is stuck at Approved but money was deposited this morning to my bank.

Wife filed 2/17 , bar status stuck at Return Received 2/17 ( no update)

I’m hearing that the irs is having some major delays. I’m assuming it is due to Obama care and identity issues creating a back log. Hoping they are not having funding problems. I also read February has a high volume of tax returns being submitted which probably doesn’t help.

@Jeff,
I prefer the latest is 2-29, if the money is not in your bank acct, then I suggest you to contact both bank and IRS to address the issue.
Good luck,
Kenneth

I filed – 2/16
Accepted – 2/18

and same with my husband. I am at ONE bar on WMR still, usually it updates within a week for the DDD. Im getting lets say frustrated. As for my husband this year he had a 1099 that brought his return a little down but we made up for it in gas used for the night job with receipts. Anyways he HAD one bar, a few days later it disappeared and only says the general statement, “your return is being processed,” no orange bar anymore. Both of us have the TT 152 as well.. Anyone with words of wisdom or hopeful news for 2/16 filers??

Filed 2/19 Accepted 2/10 No transcripts available, no change to WMR since being accepted, and of course no money in the account :-/

How do I know what address IRS has on file? I tried ordering transcripts via the website and it says info doesn’t match what’s on file? I haven’t filed a return since 2012 tax year. Do I go by that old address?

@Ray
Yes Ray, I hear you, however, your return transcript must be completed to consider your tax processing is finished. Then you have to wait for couple days before your Where is my return update to 2nd stage, which is called approved and your money should arrives to another days within that week.
Best of luck to all

I haven’t tried to order return transcripts this year because they only mail them, but in previous years I know as soon as I was able to order account transcripts that meant I was done processing and would get a ddd on the following major update. So I think it’s just a way to find out if u r done processing before WMR updates you.

Filed on TT: 2/18
Accepted: 2/18
WMR–still says accepted with topic 152.

Nervous because this is the first year I’ve filed a return since my 2013 divorce–I haven’t worked in a few years. Waiting is the worst! Hoping I don’t get flagged for identity verification. I need the money!

I actually googled the transcript thing and figured that out and went to the IRS page for it, filled out my info and submitted but it said both my 2015 transcripts are unavailable. Does this mean anything yet?

Same this morning 1 bar. What is this about ordering transcripts I see people writing about? And does it mean anything?

WMR still says processing with 21 day message and tax topic 152 with 1 bar. Hoping for a DDD update Friday morning.

Checked this morning to see if anything had been updated one bar refund is being processed and tt152 hopefully this week sometime can’t believe how long it is taking this year last year I had my refund in about 10 days

Just checkin in with my group, no change still at 1 bar TT 152 . I hope bc we waited a little longer to file that IRS has worked out the bugs and we get a ddd fri/sat for next Wednesday (7 days away!! – hey a guy can have dreams can’t he??).. Well my daughter filed 2-5 hnr block 4 w2s and an offset, on the 13th she got a ddd of 2/18 and damn if it wasn’t on her emerald card 3:45am EST. On her ddd! So there is faith even though we filed after the early filers that are all having issues that we could skate right past them while they are still having to Id verify and all that other stuff. BUT I do hope they all get their refunds fast or at the same time as us as long as it doesn’t hold our returns up. It really is ashame reading some of the people’s stories that are in a tough spot cause they relied on this money to cover this or that bill within 2 weeks. Just glad I didn’t file early and don’t think I ever will because I don’t want to be looped in with all the beginning “test” subjects Id rather roll in 3 weeks later once all the bugs have been fixed.

Filed 2/19 Accepted 2/19 used tt w/DD on netspend card I bar w\ topic 152….I hope I get DDD THIS WEDNESDAY!!! ????Fingers crossed!!!

I also filed the 18 got accepted at 1:22pm. Im still at 1 bar 152 topic. Im a weekly so Im guessing I will be updated on WMR tomorrow hopefully with a DD of Friday LOL or sometime. I cant order transcripts though.

Snaps couldn’t have said it better myself dd’s yes updates no perfect wordage.

Hey guys I have been reading the fb forum all morning and a bunch of ppl that was due to get their refunds on the 18 are the ones who got updated and refunds sent my guess is that the IRS is trying to get those early filers approved that are still waiting so its probably why we haven’t seen any movements. Their are some PPI with standard returns still waiting who aren’t even under review that filed in Jan and they still are on one bar smh let’s just hope that Fri they will have all of the jan and beginning Feb ppl finally squared away so us middle filers can finally get some attention.

Good point Jen neither have I from scanning the forums, curious if anyone did. Maybe the IRS took a personal day

my wmr has not updated yet either!

I haven’t seen one person that got an update last night.

Still no movement here either still at one bar good luck to everyone

Saw no movement as of 8am. Still 1 bar.

Well wmr updated and I’m still at one bar. Guess we gotta wait till Friday or Saturday for a next Wednesday deposit!! Oh well just 1 week away!

So will we see an update tonight for a ddd on Friday/Saturday or will we get updates Saturday with ddd for next Wednesday?

Let me know if anyone sees movement after midnight! I’ll do the same. Thanks guys/girls!!!!
