Filed 1/15 HRB
Accepted 1/19
WMR Bars, TT, all info gone around the 1st of Feb.
Rec’d ID letter – Verified on 2/15Today? Still nothing. No transcripts, no bars, no anything…
In all of the years I have filed, it’s never been this f$&#*d up. This has been the biggest klusterf@&k of a tax season since I started filing. (I’m in my late 30s)
Single guy with no kids, don’t own a home, and don’t have my own business. It’s the same f#&$&g 1040EZ I’ve done every year! Never had an issue with stolen identity or anything with my taxes. This is the first time ever that I don’t have my refund before the 2nd week of Feb. Dumbasses!

For those of you still without a DDD or any real answers at all, I would strongly suggest contacting a Tax Payer Advocate. They’re wheels turn somewhat slowly as well, but not nearly as excruciating as the IRS and at least their good faith effort is in your favor. In my experience they are able to significantly speed up return times, especially if you can demonstrate some sort of economic hardship.

Hello ur not alone in filed on the 19 accepted on the same day.
No tax topic
No bars
Generic topic “still processing ect……
I’m still unable to process either transcript. -
Filed 1/20
Accepted 1/20No bars. No tax topic code. I’ve called numerous times now and they tell me no need to verify. No letters. No errors. No review. Just being told there was a system glitch that delayed my return and to keep waiting. How much longer? The reps didn’t know. Just keep waiting. Wtf.
-
Anyone out there still being processed with no other info? No tax topic no letters no straight answers..feeling fed up!

Accepted 01/19, bars disappeared 01/30. Called on 02/09
and was told “return still under review-call back in 30 days if you don’t hear from us”.Called again on 02/17 and was told the same story and informed that I already called on 02/09-why was I calling again? She then told me that the IRS “does random reviews
each year”, I asked how random is it if the same thing happened to me last year. I didn’t receive my refund until May. Same job/address for over 16 years, single deduction,no identity fraud.I told her that this was a hardship, she told me that if it was a “true” hardship that I should call a Tax Advocate (no help). Great customer service…They didn’t ask me to ID verify either (which was the reason for my second call to see if they needed that).
So now I wait until March before I can call again. What a nightmare, I’m filing a paper return from now on. -
I was accepted 1/19
Lost my Bars for two whole weeks and had to id verify last week
Was told I had to wait 9weeks to either get a letter or refund.
Got my bars back today and approved with DDD of 2/8 -
Efiled 1/15
Accepted 1/19
No bars
Called today and was told the system is down that I could wait 30 days for a call back. Anyone else here anything about systems being down? -
Hello I just check for a update no progress on WMR
So I call the IRS “due to heavy call volume ect…. was my message. I also was accepted on 1/19 my new address still has not been processed properly, so I’m unable to request transcript. -
Did anyone else receive any updates over the weekend? Ours still says “Your return is being processed” TT152. (efiled and accepted 1/19). Nothing changed over the weekend. Our calls to the IRS end up with the person telling us that something in our return is being reviewed and we should receive a letter within 30 days. They can’t find a letter on file at this time though. I have no idea if this is a stall tactic or if we really will be getting a letter. Wouldn’t our TT change if we were getting one? Anyone have any insight on that? Thanks!
-
I am a 19er and I was finally able to order my return transcript on Friday but still do not have a DDD Here is when I ordered the Return Transcript..
http://postimg.org/image/688jw9elj/
So does this mean I am finished processing? and HOPEFULLY getting a DDD?
-
I filed on 1/19 and accepted on 1/19 I have no bars” sill processing date will be provided ect…. no DD
I am still unable to process my return transcript with my new or old address. I even tried idverify.irs.gov. To identify my self unable to accomplish that task as well. With my 21 day falling on the 9th I’m onlyrics 6 days past due. I want my refund but
The IRS are 10 days behind schedule with the heavy volume of e-fileing. -
Anyone else have no bars, no return transcript and still waiting for a DDD?
-
And Tada Refund Approved..
Your tax refund is scheduled to be mailed by February 22, 2016. If you do not receive the refund by March 21, 2016, please contact us again. We are unable to take any action until then.
Bars went Missing on 2/6
Bars came back 2/12
Approved 2/13Why it is getting mailed I do not know.
But did I do anything special No.
Did I complain No
Did I blow up the phone lines NO -
I filed 1/17 using TT and was accepted 1/19 bars disappeared 2/7 called IRS tax advocate 2/9 and was told no problems with my return and that it was pulled for random review and I would have my return by 3/28. I was not satisfied with the answer so I called the IRS today and was informed I had to verify my identity and told to call 800-830-5084 and I did and answered some questions regarding my return this year and last year. So now I just wait I was told 9 weeks but it looks like people are receiving DDD within 10 days from verifying!! Fingers crossed
-
I am sorry for everyone still waiting! I know it is hard to hear other people are getting their money.
I filed 1/19 accepted 1/19
ID check 2/9Scheduled for DD 2/19.
-
Filed and accepted 1/19. Bars disappeared 2/6. 21 days up 2/9. I just got off the phone with the IRS. This time they told me that our refund is being held and that a letter will be going out to me, but that she cannot tell what the letter will say or which code they will send me. She said I should receive a letter within 30 days. WTF!?!? She claims she can’t see any information other than that.
-
I did my tax’s on Jan 19. So I should have gotten my return on Feb 9. When I didn’t I called. I never got a letter or even a notice on the website all it ever said is your return is still being processed. A return date will be update when avaible.
When I finally got someone on the phone after saying I wanted to make a payment I was told a security hold had been placed and I need to call 800-830-5084 to verify my identity. I did and I was told it could be up to 9 weeks. I really hope not, if you got this too and have gotten your return or even a dd please let me know!Today My WMR Status has changed from ” Your refund is still being processed” to “We have received your tax return and it is being processed” the funny part is if it look it up under my husband’s ssn his hasn’t changed and we filed joint.
I need this return, so I am trying to be hopeful I will post if I get it soon. -
Filed 1/19/16 had bars for processing up until last saturday 2/6/16 gave it a few days as advised and nothing changed…called irs today and was told i was selected for random review i asked for what reason and was told keep checking wmr the next couple WEEKS for a letter or my status to change…smh a bunch of bs
-
I filed on the 18 IRS received my taxes on th19th @1:34 also was accepted at 3:34 pm on the 19th no bats on WMR as well. After reading everyone situation and different reply from the IRS reps. I just don’t have any more energy to call to receive more tail chasing news.
Reference from taxdelay.com”We contacted the IRS yesterday and were told that many who filed last month will not see tax refunds until next week due to new fraud protections in place.
We will let everyone know once we have solid proof of a payout date for some January filers.”

HY and JDP,
It is an insane process. I wish I had some suggestions. The lack of reliable information is truly maddening. I think my 13 year old son could create a better website then they provide. The crazy part is simple investment in technology would greatly reduce their calls. I was told I needed to verify my ID but I have no confidence that was the real issue. A website that shows 5 or 6 gateway check points would be so easy to create and update even with the amount of data they are processing. Good Luck!!!
-
Filed & Accepted 1/19.
Had 1 bar on WMR until 2/6 when it changed to “still processing” message with standard message TT152.
No changes since.
21 days was up 2/9.
Have talked to IRS twice – both times they gave us different answers. No letters have been sent out to us. Telling us they are still processing or reviewing our information.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any advice? -
E-Filed 1/15
Accepted 1/19
Still no update with TT or WMR
Called IRS and have been told they don’t know why its not processed. Seriously?? You don’t know!? I’m not really concerned over the money it’s the lack of information that’s driving me nuts. Anyone else still waiting? -
Had my appointment at my local IRS office. Was able to correctly identify myself and income (imagine that).
Was told 9 weeks. But I’m believing it’ll come sooner.
Good luck to all the other 1 out of 10’s out there!!!! -
GOT my $$$$$ in the bank today!
HR Block 1/19
changed from 1 to 2 bars last saturday with DD date of 2/10
still at 2 bars
woke up with the money in the bankgood luck yáll

Christine
I totally agree with you. If you are a 1/19 filer and you don’t have an update call the IRS. They did the same thing to me. The good news is if they told you they would release you for reprocessing I have been reading that it generally takes two weeks and not the nine they are saying. I am obviously no longer counting my chickens until they hatch but reading quite a few forums the turn around time tends to be pretty quick.
-
Anyone who is still stuck with no bars, no transcripts, no ddd…call the irs now because you might have been flagged for identity theft like i just found out i was. I had to verify myself and was told 9 weeks before i get my refund. I asked why i wasnt informed by letter she said she didnt know…so the longer i would have waited the long it would have taken my refund because the 9 week process wont start til you identify yourself….I am so angry right now!!! 9 weeks is rediculas!!!!

I just got of the phone with the IRS I called 800-829-1040 and I finally got someone to look into my account. I filed on 1/19 and recieved approval the same day and I lost my bars on 2/6, however the IRS stated they didn’t accept it until 1/21. I was also informed that there was a delay with most of the taxes filed on 1/19 and I should expect my refund by 2/25. UGH
-
Filed HRB 1/7 Accepted 1/16 No bars not Tax code.
Called yesterday Option 2 and then waited Did not answer next option. Got a live person. Was told owed past tax which I knew and it’s a small amount. Was told takes 1-3 weeks for computers to release refund of balance due. Some kind of automatic system. Just have to wait.
-
Jamie,
I think you are talking about the “innocent spouse rule” but based on my (admittedly limited understanding of tax law) it would not really apply.
DEFINITION of ‘Innocent-Spouse Rule’
A measure of relief built into the tax code that allows a person, if eligible, to avoid paying his or her spouse’s tax if it was reported incorrectly. The innocent-spouse rule applies to a spouse that can prove that he or she did not incur the tax bill and did not somehow benefit from the failure to pay.Ultimately, this rule is designed to protect people from liability for taxes incurred as a result of evasive or dishonest financial behavior by their spouses, or from divorces where one person fails to pay tax on the income he or she earned and intends to leave the other spouse with the bill.
Did he have the loans before you were married or after? Who earns more money? There is some grey area here but you would need to pay a tax attorney likely to have a shot. You can see what a tax advocate says but I think you have an uphill battle. Sorry.
-
Well guys after the long wait my taxes were garnished because my husband never set up pymt for his student loans. I’ve heard about an injured spouse claim but I’m not sure if I will qualify. Anyone know if student loans are considered joint debt?
-
Got my refund thus morning at 4 am
Sorry for all the people who havent got theirs yet. Its been a stressful month. Hopefully you get it soon. See u all next year. Dont file early again lol. -
Filed 19th
Accepted 19th
Still processingCalled the 1040# was told everything looked ok but they needed to verify my identity
He gave me the 800 number to complete it
Called the number and they were unable to verify me over the phone.
She said I had to go to an office in person but they’re appointment only.
Was able to get an appointment for 230 same day…but I didn’t have a copy of my return so that trip was just practice. The real showtime starts today at 930
But first of all let me say I live in DC and I expected the office to be flooded. It was a ghost town while they keep you looped in phone queues -
@Taramg5: Sorry to hear that. I know I would be calling ever 4.3 minutes just to piss them off.
-
Well I just called the irs earlier. Filed 1/13 accepted 1/14. No bars, no return transcripts tt152. Yep, I’m under review they need to verify employment/tax withholding/ss taxes. Such BS!! I called and got an advocate right away and event with their help it will be at least 6weeks……I feel like crying
-
Filed 1/15 with TT…accepted 1/19…return trans ordered 2/5…wmr updated 2/6 with ddd 2/10. Normally the bank TT use is SSBT, checked my forms today the bank being used is Civista Bank. Anyone else have Civista Bank? I’ve never saw this bank being used. How can I check to make sure my refund will be deposited tomorrow? I see people checking SSBT for their deposits… Please help…
-
@Buehler Buehler Buehler Anyone?: So were you ever approved?
-
OK Guys So I just called and spoke with Mr. Young at the IRS. Very Very Nice Guy! He basically told me that we are all screwed because we filed early. I am an AZ resident. I e-filed on 1/14 using TT and was accepted by IRS on 1/19 I was able to order my 2015 return transcript on 2/5 however I had 1 bar until 2/6 at which point I lost all bars and went to tax topic 152 your refund is being processed. So basically Mr. Young said that it would have been better for me(and all of us) to file on the 19th as opposed to early because about a quarter of tax filers who filed early this year are experience a 1 Week Delay in their funds being approved. He did say it is only 1 week and Not 6-8 Weeks. He said that refunds should be expected on or before February 19th this issue. So that’s what I just found out a few minutes ago calling the IRS 1040 #. I am still going to check my account tomorrow & probably Friday too with fingers crossed for a miracle. LOL
I guess we have to continue the waiting game more….. :( I’m bummed. My moms birthday is Friday & I won’t be able to take her out. :(
-
Anyone else bank with boa, I know my refund isn’t scheduled till tomorrow to deposit, but I’m getting anxious! They said they don’t leave anything pending when they get it I get it so I’m hoping tomorrow since that’s technically the day :) I guess we’ll see!
-
So I filed and was accepted on the 19th.. one bar until the 30th when it went to “Being Reviewed” and Topic 151. Got thru to a person today but she had zero info on why I’m being reviewed and told me my letter explaining why was going out on the 15th! It takes two weeks to “prepare” a letter apparently. So here I sit. I really thought it might be related to my information differing from what I claimed to what was on the 1095B I received. (I didn’t know I was going to get a 1095B or I would’ve just waited for the darn thing) But she couldn’t tell me one way or the other. Oh well, at least this year I wasn’t really desperate for my refund for a change.
-
@suzi what did you find out?
-
Yay!! 22 minutes and I got a live person!!
-
I am on hold using (800)829-1040 and choosing option 1 then 5 then 3 (because I am wondering if the stupid form 1095B for Obamacare that I received 2 weeks after I completed my taxes might be causing my delay). It said my wait time would be 15-20 minutes
-
Christine:
(800) 829-0582 Ext. 652
-
Can anyone who talked to a live person about returns give me the number you called, options pressed…i called the 1040# and only get recorded message that my return is still processing with no chance to talk to someone in person.
Thank you
-
SBBT is Santa Barbara bank and Trust the company that Turbo Tax uses as a third party to take the fees owed if you choose to have it taken out of your refund. This morning SBBT sent the money to my account around 8 but nothing in my account yet
-
So I filed 1/19 showed excepted same day. Just got off phone with irs because my bars and taxtopic went missing over the weekend. It said still processing.
She said I wasn’t really accepted till the 21st.
That my return is now on a hold could take an additional 6-8 weeks. She said it is because last year my identity was used to file, and yes it was. That they are taking additional steps to verify. What those are I do not know. She said I may or may not get something in the mail.Hope that helps some.
-
What is sbbt?
-
.P.S. My bars disappeared Saturday and Tax Topic 152/Ad Date … appeared.

Squeaky wheel……
-
Hi everyone we are in a fine mess huh… So much for a jump start & not being evicted…
I know 2 bits of intel from researching like a librarian and after one HORRIBLE experience that sent me to a supervisor and then BACK to the HORRIBLE creature who HUNG UP ON MY ^&^ and then over to the 1040# and a VERY KIND MAN…get the pic what a nightmare yesterday, DAY 20 ,was…IF YOU HAVE EDUCATION CREDITS (American Opportunity) or EARNED INCOME CREDIT your return MAY be delayed one week or two… The DOJ has SERIOUS eyes on these two credits as the SCAMMERS evidently exploit these items.
The other situation that I THINK may have occurred is that I submitted on 1/14. I thought it strange that the ACCEPT did not come till 1/19 but I got it so just moved on….well after 3 calls to Turbo Tax I was informed that on 1/14 the “SYSTEM” rejected the return(s)? and I believe in addition to Education Credits I was Resequenced because of the REJECT and I am now 1-2 weeks out….
-
@jesseh
Thank you. SBBT showed ach done on 2/9. Hopefully my bank gets it soon!
-
@kristie Im in the same boat, at first sbbt only said ACH deposit then it showed the routing and account number. My bank still has not recieved it but it could take a few hours. By 3pm you should see it.
-
SBBT shows they transferred my money today 2/9 to my bank. but my bank doesn’t show it and I called them and they said there is nothing pending.
Anyone else in the same situation?? Im worried. :(
-
So my ddd is 2/10
I’ve check Republic State Bank and Santa Barbara and neither of them recognize my information what do you guys think???? -

accepted 1/19
ordered transcripts 2/5
only one bar on wmr until 2/6
bars all disappeared on 2/7
morning of 2/8 refund approved saying I would receive it on 2/10 in my bank account
sbbt received the money and transferred to my bank today but it has not hit my bank account yet.fingers still crossed and wont be able to breathe until its in my account.
-
Why’s everyone freaking out, we have DD dates of 2/10. Mines never earlier than the date the WMR tool gives me and its usually that afternoon, yes this year took almost two week longer than the last 10 years I’ve used TT. I saw netspend card holders got theres early but it was advertised that way, they’re probably gov’t cards used for spying ;)
-
Earlier sbtg said to call the irs because it was past 2/9. Now i checked and they have taken their fees. Im guessing we all wont see it till this evening. I saw a chart on turbo tax thats says if sbtg takes the money before 8:00 pm they send it to your card same day if they send it after 8:00 pm they send it next business day. They run on cst so us east coasters wait a little longer. However after they do either its up to your bank to release the funds to you. From the reviews im seeing with account now when it comes to tax refunds they might freeze my account because in getting a large amount. I have a three month old daughter and i hope they dont. I have had enough already with this tax season i want my money and i want this over with.
-
Waited for like an hour to be transferred to someone else put on hold for over 20 minutes for the lady to tell me they don’t know whats wrong it’ll be 6-8 weeks.
-
I filed 1/17 using turbotax was accepted 1/19 lost bars on 2/7 called tax advocate line today and found out I was pulled for a review on 1/29 and that it would be 6-8 weeks and if there are no issues I should have my return by March 25th!! I am pissed same return every year
-
I spoke with a very nice man at the IRS today too. It does however appear that their new stall technique is to tell you that they need to verify your identity now that we are past 21 days. I got no letter had no code on where is my refund other than the generic “152” (direct deposit) and suddenly they need to verify my identity.
Please keep in mind I have worked at the same job 17 years. I have lived at the same house 17 years. I have filed the same dependents for 13 years and I am getting almost to the dollar the exact refund I got last year.
I have seen other people post about this so i don’t know if they really needed my ID or if they just wanted to use that as the reason for the delay.
-
After waiting on hold for an hour and half….I just spoke to a super nice IRS lady.
I filed and was accepted 1/19, via TT…..she so politely informed me that TT was inaccurate, and they didn’t accept my return until 1/21!!!!
WTH TT??!!
The lady apologized profusely that she couldn’t look up anything else on my status, but asked that I call back 2/11 so that it COULD be accessed if my WMR doesn’t update…..
Fyi, no bars, no movement in WMR since 1/27. -
1/15 filed HRB
1/19 accepted
No WMR bars, no tax topic, no return transcriptsI just spoke to a very nice lady over at the IRS.
She told me she couldn’t see exactly why, but it’s just taking a while to process. She told me it could be 6-8 weeks from Feb 1st (no idea where that date came from) but that it could always be sooner. She advised me to keep checking WMR and if I had not seen my deposit by March 28th-29th, to call back. *sigh*
First time this has happened to me.
-
So I spoke to someone at the IRS actually two people this morning about the status of my refund and the first one told me I needed to call another 1-800 number to speak to the ID check people to answer a few questions.. well apparently she gave me the wrong number because that lady told me NO I do not need to answer anything about my ID I need to wait until my EMPLOYER verifies my wages so I can get paid and that they have yet to do so. However she did not give me any number for my employer to call to verify so this sounds like the run around to me! Did anyone else get this kind of push back? I guess I will wait until tomorrow and call again. This is BS.
Info so you know
Filed 1/18 through Tax Slayer
Accepted 1/19 before noon
No DDD and lost status bars on Saturday with tax topic 152.
I do have to pay penalty for no health insurance but that hasn’t changed from last year… I do not understand! -
Still nothing for me. I got a DD of 2/10 but sbbtpg says we have not received any money from the irs and your date of 2/9 has passed. This sucks so bad. I lost my job 2 weeks ago and was really counting on this as I am a single income home and have 3 kids. Why is this happening to me now of all times
-
FINALLY!!
SBBT has updated this morning!!
Filed through TT with fees taken out
2/10 DD
SBBT transferred ACH to my bank account sometime between 5:00 and 7:00 CST this morning.
The rest is up to my bank!
This has been the most stressful refund cycle EVER. 10 years or better of filing my own taxes and never has it taken this long.Good luck to all of you! Hopefully SBBT has updated for everyone today.

Sbtpg just updated! They took my fees out already. They are sending it to my bank 2/9 with a DDD of 2/10. So maybe I’ll get it later today or midnight tonight.
Just checked them 30 mins ago and it was not there. NOW IT’S UPDATED! Go check yours out.
HAPPY HAPPY DANCE!
Bank: usaa
Turbotax: deluxe with fees taken out -
DDD of 2/10, still no deposit, still on 2 bars….I’m so over this year. This has been such a joke. I filed with taxslayer and I was having them take the fees out of my return. But the fact that they haven’t even sent it, makes me furious! Ugh!
-
I still havent got my dd yet either.No pending deposits. I had tt take out fees so i might not get it today. I’d like to but, its only one day. However deposits can come in at multiple times during the day. So its just a waiting game at this point. I also have account now and i read they steal peoples tax refunds. I had them for almost two years for my job dd. So i hope they dont screw me over. Im done with taxes.
-
Getting annoyed its 5am and still no direct deposit but most of you already got yours early. Dont get me wrong im thankful to have a DDD but im so over this tax season I just wanr my refund and i want to put this tax season behind me!! Any chance it could deposit later today?
-
Anyone that received a DD on 2/8 did you buy the deluxe TT and if so did you take the money to pay for it out of your refund? If not, that’s good and still gives me hope for 2/9 since it has to transfer to another bank on 2/8 to remove the money to pay for Deluxe TT then should get a DD on 2/9…I hope.
-
Ironically I have been locked out of WMR. I checked only once today. lol
-
Nothing is wrong with the majority who flied on 1/19. The IRS messed up and wont admit what really happened.
Just in case anyone is planning on calling tomorrow, you are going to get the following answers:
A. Your refund has been approved, we cant give any more information.
B. Your return was selected for additional review and this can delay it up to a week, which has pushed back your 21 days to 28. Please call on the 16th for more information.
Good luck!

Accepted 1/19. got my second bar 2 days ago and said DD date 2/10. so frustrating, i filed on the first day they get accepted and literally everyone I know that filed a week or more after me has their money by now. is something wrong with the returns of people who filed on the 19th?
-
Our daughter filed with TurboTax on 1-22-16 and she also got her direct deposit today on netspend card and was not scheduled for DD until 2-10-16.

Ordered return transcript 2/5/16
Received DDD 2/10/16 on 2/6/16I see many people got their deposit early with DDD of 2/10 on their NetSpend cards. Hopefully those of us who chose direct deposit get ours early too!
-
@me again: Yeah, it can take longer for them to mail a check. I don’t think it would be 3 weeks. They probably just say that to cover their butts. I would expect it within a week from 2/10
-
So what if u didn’t get direct deposit? I was approved 2/6/16 and they said I’d receive it by 2/10 but the tax place I filed at said it might take 3/more weeks is that true or does anyone know

I live in Louisiana and i got my DDD for the 10th

The Right to Quality Service
Taxpayers have the right to receive prompt, courteous, and professional assistance in their dealings with the IRS, to be spoken to in a way they can easily understand, to receive clear and easily understandable communications from the IRS, and to speak to a supervisor about inadequate service.Tax Payer Bill of Rights…..
-
Now the IRS will not even let you hold to talk to someone. It simply says call volume is to high and hangs up. Nice really nice.
-
@sara and others. As I stated in one of my earlier posts, most credit unions and a very few banks will release your direct deposits as soon as they get them. Fortunately, I am a member of one of those credit unions. My direct deposit hit this morning and my cu deposited it to my account at 8am. Funny, though, that WMR doesn’t show the last bar saying my refund was sent. So, some of you, if you don’t have eAlerts for direct deposits, might want to check your bank account balances instead of relying on WMR.

RIGHT OFF THE INTUIT ANSWER FORUM
Asked by jrstars ProSeries Professional 2015, United States 3 days ago
why are returns transmitted on the 20th of january 2015 not being processed?Return was transmitted and accepted by the IRS on the 20th of january, 2015. The Where’s my Refund says it was accepted but still has not been processed. What is the hold up? Any ideas?
I have transmitted a dozen other returns starting on the 25th of january and they have already received their refunds.

POS …In 1/2 the time it took the NO CUSTOMER SERVICE GOVT MAN to tell me all about IRS.GOV LAME web site & TOMORROW NOT TODAY, even though TT FAILED to tell me returns submitted on 1/14 were rejected once and resubmitted, is day 21
he could have looked it up told me (what I already know I am sure…) I could have gone out for cigarettes and a drink, smoked one w/ my drink and been back on the phone…WOW

“SCREW YOU” THE MOTTO OF THE CURRENT UNITED STATES GOVT….It doesn’t matter what was said about your refund because you don’t matter…I mean, what recourse does a TAX PAYER REALLY HAVE?

Just a little advice for you guys in the future. Always have the $$ loaded onto a netspend card (you get it way before the actual refund date) and then do a cash advance at your own bank and deposit into your actual bank account.
-
I’m still at 2 bars. So there is still hope for the people who have not had a direct deposit today with a DDD of 2/10 on WMR. I have netspend and it was deposited on 2/7 @9:44pm.

Isn’t it strange how several States are not refunding until March-April and groups dated 1/13-1/20 have been delayed with no explanation as 1/25-2/1 refunding enough to quiet the storm…..Transcript lines are now having “difficulties” ….
Where’s the money why no statements and “Systems Down” like they work on battery packs LOL It is the GOVERNMENT and when was the last time you believed ANYTHING ANYONE remotely connected said????
Sorry I just know the entire system is glued together with the greed and lies of EVERY participant Look up Roll Call The wealth of Congress It will BLOW your mind

@danielle
Wmr should tell you when your refund will be sent -
How long does it usually take for the irs to send your deposit? I’ve been approved, but it hasn’t been sent.
-
Filed and accepted 1/19. Bars were missing for 2 weeks and had tax topic 152 the whole time. Finally with last nights update got bars back with refund approved. I requested to have direct deposit but for some reason wmr states refund will be mailed by Feb 16. Not sure why but at least it is coming.

DDD 2/10*IP PIN used* for ID Theft since 2013
First in three tax seasons not having a delayed refund until April/May!!!Keep hope alive!
What would help is if you update your address with the IRS if you have moved using Form 8822..
Ordering transcripts are pointless
Some are pulled for audits and/or flagged randomly.If the IRS has a office in your city, it is the best way to submit forms and communicate with them. Please have patience with the whole process and do not make immediate plans with your refund unless you have a DDD.
It takes the minimum 4 weeks for things to be processed, so continue with life as normal until your big payoff comes through!

@Cute:): It is not a federal holiday, so yes.

So inept…I read yesterday the Tax Code is over 4 MILLION words 7 times Tolstoys War & Peace 2 times the length of the King James Bible So yea f they think anyone BELIEVES they “LOST EMAILS” they will not be able to provide a legitimate reason for what is OBVIOUSLY a whole group of 1/19 filers just sitting on a desk somewhere…
I’m sure the fact their budget has been cut 2% each year since 2010 and they only received a 1.3% RAISE this year (how many of you got raises?) they are making the statement they said they would….we need more $$$$ too provide service -
I filed on 1/17 using TT accepted 1/19 had one bar until last night now they are GONE!! Tried ordering transcripts but unsuccessful. UUGGGHHH!! I am just torturing myself checking everyday BUT this is the LAST time I will be filing early! Good luck to all!

Woke up at 7 am. Filed 0n 1-19 accepted 1-19 and today WMR has a DDD of 2-10. My daughters refund is also DDD of 2-10 and I did not file hers until 1-22 and accepted 1-22. So the IRS did not go in order of when people filed or my daughter’s would not be the same day as mine. Something had to have happened to the returns filed near the 19th and they just did not tell us anything. I hope that everyone gets theirs very soon!! Good Luck!!
PS I did order my transcript by phone yesterday. It would not allow me to put my info in typed in, it claimed my address was not on file. I do not know if this did help to get a DDD or not. I did not do the transcript for my daughters and she is DDD of 2-10 also! -

i filed on the 19th still onebar an still cant order nothing helppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

@Alyusha (and others). I bank with a credit union and they always release my direct deposit funds early (State pension and SS pension) – as soon as they get the electronic transfer which is 2 days prior to the official DDD. Every other non-credit union I’ve banked with has held my money until the official release date. I’m hoping my cu releases the funds Monday…Tuesday at the latest.
Good Luck to all of us 1/19ers!!
-
I have wells Fargo and this is what their site says
Tax refund direct deposit dates depend on your bank or other financial institution. If your account is with Wells Fargo, we will add your direct deposit amount to your available balance on the same business day we receive your deposit from the IRS. The cut off time is 4:00pm Monday-Thursday and 6:00pm Friday, local time.
-
filed 1/19 accepted 1/24 . was on first bar until this morning but last night around 9 pm i was able to order both transcripts . gave me a DDD of 2/10 i have been seeing people getting there money earlier then date . Does that depend on the bank you have i guess ???
hope everyone gets a good update soon !!!!! -
I have not abandoned all hope yet. This site says the following:
WMR updates daily with mass updates on Sundays and Wednesdays.
If they plan on 2/10 DD that is normally sent 2 days before that would allow time for them to pick up more people in the Sunday update. I know it is a pipe dream but I am hoping. With that said I will likely be calling them Tuesday..
-
I open my eyes at 6 this morning and log into IRS2Go, and BAM! 2/10 DDD!
I’m so happy I don’t know whether to smile or kick a field goal!
“Snow White”, mama’s coming, baby! Just hold on!
*hugs everyone with 2/10 DDD*
I knew it would be soon! Thanks again, everyone, for your continued support!
I’ll be seeing you guys next year, and remember not to file early again! XD
Much love,
Ty’Eira Marie Morrison-Osteen -
@lesly: It is possible. Some people are saying that they have received it early with traditional banks. Some using prepaid cards will get it early. I think it has to do with if you paid your fees or filed for free and so on.
For the netspenders who get DDs 2 days early, this is the trend I seen.
Those of them who filed for free or paid fees upfront, got the DD 2 days early. Those who had fees come out of refund only got it 1 day early or not early at all.
WMR does say “by” 2/10 So I do think it is possible we will see our DDs by Monday or Tuesday,.
-
Yeah guys Im curious, is it possible that we could get it before DDD of 2/10?

omg this has been the longest tax season ever after filing my taxes on 1/19/2016 I finally received a ddd for 2/10/2016. Like most of you have said I will never file early again. If I didn’t wake up to a ddd date this morning I was going to lose my mind, I have never waited this long for a ddd ever. But what I want to know is what’s going on with state returns. I’m in California and have always received my return within two days and still nothing. I called Monday and was told if I didn’t have it by Friday to call them back so on Friday I gave ftb a call and was told it can take up to 12 weeks to process. She told me that most people receive it in 7-10 days if you efiled but some of us got pushed back and have to wait up to 12 weeks and they don’t tell them why. I know this year California is offering eic so maybe this has something to do with it. Anyone else waiting on a California return who is getting eic?

@Impatientlywaiting: https://www.irs.gov/Advocate/Local-Taxpayer-Advocate
It is by a state by state basis. or the toll free number is 1-877-777-4778
FYI I tried calling them the other day and they were less helpful than the IRS. Good luck though!

@Stef: Is this your first year filing? It is kinda strange that it says that if not. There were several times I called it and it said the same for me. I just tried again and it worked. Seems that the system misses a number here or there.
Also, if you filed joint, it needs to be the primary filers SSN, not the secondary.

@mattinindy
Matt in Indy
More than likely you should be able to order your return transcript sometime between Tuesday and Thursday next week… But by then you’d pretty much already have the answers your looking for after calling the IRS Monday morning! I for damn sure would be calling first thing Monday morning. The fact you have bars missing should’ve at least prompted them to give you some sort of an explanation to what’s going on… Have you even called to speak with someone? Im like so pissed off for you not to mention I’m still upset that I had to wait this long… But it looks like they’re trying to really catch up and if your not in the next batch that is straight bullshxt! I’ll keep you in my prayers good luck keep and if you receive any update please post it as it would be hope for others -

@Matt in Indy–
As for your transcript– try calling the automated line to order them.. I tried to do it online with no success for days until I called the automated line and was able to order my return transcripts.. that’s how I knew it was coming. Maybe if you can order the transcript, you can explain that to the landlord that the refund is coming if the transcript is approved.

Ordered return transcripts yesterday
Got a 2-10 deposit date. Hope everyone else gets good news! -
Ok, this officially sucks so much. I am seeing all these people that filed early are now able to get their return transcript’s and are getting DDDs of 2/10. I filed mine on January 6th this year thru TurboTax. I’ve used them for probly 7 years now, and they said it was accepted on Jan. 11th. Now I know they didn’t start processing til the 19th so I gave extra time before I started checking. Actually really didn’t start checking til a week after I goty state return back. At first the WMR would have the 1 bar and now it has had no bars on mine for over a week. It just says it is still being processed and they will post a date when available. I file a 1040EZ form, which is the most basic and I’m getting a little less than $1000 this year. I lost my job a month ago and was relying on this to keep a roof over my head until I got another one. I have had a few promising interviews but got an eviction notice over 2 weeks ago now and was hoping to avoid it with this money. My court date was last Wednesday and my landlady gave me an extra week. I thought for sure it would be here latest this coming week. Now I still cannot order my return transcript’s and am stressing so bad I want to go there and go postal. Just kidding bit wtf? I have been patient. I filed a month ago now and figured since I was an early filer that I would get it before a lot of others. Now I’m seeing people who filed the 31st getting their returns already and almost everyone else got their DDDs this morning when it was updated. I don’t have any offsets and TurboTax said nothing is wrong with my return so I really am confused. Last year I had my return in 7 days and I have never gotten state before federal until this year. I’m seriously gonna be homeless and I know they say not to rely on your tax return but its my money and I really needed it this year. Why couldn’t you have done this last year when I didn’t need it so bad. I am so worried and lost and don’t know what else to do. I’ve tried calling the IRS and they gave me the 21 day crap. I just need to know what’s going on. Being in the dark about it is the worst part. If I knew a date I could talk to my landlady and see if something can be worked out. As of right now I have til Wednesday of this coming week and then I will be homeless. Don’t have anywhere else to go and feel so helpless. I have the money coming but I figured I would have had it before now. Please help someone. Who can I call and find out what’s going on. I know of you can order your return transcript that it’s been processed. I was really hoping I could at least do that and then I would have known it was at least coming soon. Really stressing this year. Don’t know what’s going on over at the IRS but its screwing a lot of people and we pay their salary. It’s money that is mine. I don’t understand why they wouldnt just do things first come first serve. Wouldn’t that make the most sense with soany people filing at different times. Have a stack for each days date and go stack by stack. Seriously, how do they do this? What kind of organization is there? If one date has a lot of returns then split it up into a few days and then jump to the next date as soon as all those are done. This is the worst tax year to date and I just wanna give up. Can anyone help or explain to me what’s going on? What’s all this resequencing stuff that’s going on? If that’s what they are doing mines been looked over several times now. So frustrated at this point.

Woke up to my 2nd bar and a DDD of 2/10.NEVER EVER EVER EVER FILING EARLY AGAIN.
Am I relieved? Yes. Am I still super pissed? YES. Can you imagine if WE took our time getting our taxes to the IRS? We’d be arrested. But ask for your own money back and they take their sweet ass time and you can’t do anything about it.
Anyways, so glad this is over and good luck to the rest of you waiting.

morning guys– I actually checked this forum first when I woke up to see where we were at.. and then checked WMR.. finally moved to the second bar with a DDD of 2/10.. if anybody is still stuck, it’s coming..
I was curious based on experience in the past.. how long it took from the approval bar, did it take to hit SBBT? Does anyone know? I know it’s based in the west coast (I’m in the east) and checking them would be pointless until after noon but would they post it today or?

Yaaass!! Finally DDD of 2/10. I’m not going to stop worrying until I have the money in my bank!! Lesson learned I will not file on opening day again.
The IRS must think we are not that bright, of course they had a system failure so they can shut down and work on all people who filed on 1/19-1/22.
My anxiety level went from 100 to 0. Now just waiting for this deposit! I hope soon everyone will start seeing their second bars!!

As of right now, I finally have a DDD of 2/10.

Once you can order your return transcript, the next day you should have a DDD.
Hang in there guys…money is coming.

Thanks for all the info! :) Happy refund to you all!

Bars gone “Your Refund is still being processed A refund date will be provided when available.”
Tax Topic 152
Could this POSSIBLY BE A GOOD SIGN?
-
Refund Status
We are sorry Where’s My Refund is currently unavailable. Please try Where’s My Refund again later.
-
I got accepted 1/19. I ordered my transcripts yesterday and they said I would receive at my address 5-10 days. But yet no update on Wmr. What is going on
-
@Danielle, I am in CA and also haven’t gotten a state refund yet! I suspect they are up to something…:-(
-
So as of now my bars are gone also! It says – Your tax refund is being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. – then the topic 152 thing (which only tells u that 21 days thing. I wonder what’s happening behind the scenes tonight. I’ve always had 1bar. Seem like I’m getting on there nerves and I should be. Shhh they been getting on my nerves all year taking money out every check, so be it. Come Tues and Wed if no one gets a refund omg their gona have like a zillion calls in one day
-
Hey all!
Quick question! Anyone’s bar disappear?
I filed HRB and.was accepted 1/19
I’ve always had one bar, stuck on “accepted”
Tonight I check and.I have no bars at all
Just my info, refund amount, generic message and tax code 152
What does that mean? 21 days is Tuesday! -
glad most of us 1/19 accepted were able to order return transcripts today : ) . hope we have our $ soon.
-
@Ashley: When was the last time you noticed WMR was normal? Also, do you still see Tax Topic 152 near the bottom?
-
Weird I filed my taxes with Turbo Tax 1/15 it was excepted 1/15 and I have ha no issue with viewing a date of expected return 1/20-2/9. I filed a simple single return and after reading your posts had no issue ordering my transcripts 1/5 but now when I check WMR it tells me my refund is being processed and no date is available or bar that used to say accepted????? Any ideas?
-
@Danielle: No. This year we can not print online. The IRS thinks it helps with fraud if we can only get it mailed.. Past years you could see and print online. But you must wait for it in the mail, and with any luck, you’ll have your DD before it arrives.
As for state.. I dunno about other states, but here in Illinois, to fight fraud, we won’t be accepted until March 1st. So yeah.. I know some other states are doing the same, such as SC. Maybe California is one of them?
I never file state early, I am always worried it will mess up federal somehow.. I do not know why. So I just do them separate.. lol
-
Thanks for all the info and hope! Still stressing. First year I have counted on this $. Is there a way to print transcript to see more info? I was only able to request to be mailed….
And still no state return or update online. Anyone from CA ? Get yours yet? Thats ALWAYS comes first…. STRESSING
-
@Jenica: Well if you have ordered 2015 return transcript, you are all done. Everything except a DD and a DDD anyways, which will come shortly as you know. As for early DD, some prepaid cards like netspend offer 2 day early DD. I have seen some people that have gotten it 2 days early, but you also need to remember in some cases, your money is first sent to another bank to take out fees if any, then sent to your bank, so in that case, there may be a day delay, meaning youll get the DD 1 day early. Last year I used PayPal prepaid, and got my DD on a Wednesday, before any WMR updates. I don’t know if WMr was just behind, or I got my DD 2 days early. Some people have reported getting the DD a day before DDD with normal banks also. So I guess it is all up to the service offered by the prepaid or bank.
Also, thanks for the turbotax update. I filed with taxact, and I do not have the luxury of seeing those figures! But my TaxAct still says I should expect a DD by 2/9.. So maybe Monday? =D We will see
-
@Alyusha– I just checked TT– it’s still the same percentage. I think either we’ll see a boost tomorrow morning or perhaps Monday. All I know is that I couldn’t order transcripts online with the new or old until I called them and only could order the return transcripts with the new one so I guess that’s somewhat of a progress. I can honestly say this year was the first year I got my state back before federal. Always the one to file early and now I’m questioning if I should do that again next year haha. Hopefully we see something in the morning.
I was wondering also– if we see a DD of 2/10 tomorrow.. and some people have prepaid cards or whatever, are they gonna see it much earlier, say saturday or sunday instead?
-
@Hailey2016: Indeed! Now its time to worry if we typed in our routing numbers and account numbers right! JK! (not really… This is normally always my worry until this year. lol)
@TurboTax users: Does TurboTax have any new % of people who got their refunds from 1/19? Last I heard it was 32%
-
@alyusha
Thanks.. It’s been a long time coming lol
We’re one step closer -
I was accepted 1/19
Ordered transcripts 2/5
No offsets
WMR Still on first barHope I get my refund by 2/10\16
It’s my Vagas money ;p -
I was able to order my return transcript this morning. I did, however, call TT this evening. I filed everything o 1/15. Got the message from TT saying my taxes were received on 1/19. When I spoke to the lady from TT tonight, she told me that the IRS didn’t accept my taxes until 1/29. She said I should have word in the morning for a DDD.
-
I have been reading the posts and have to say this have been the most stressful tax year. I filed on 1/17 and got accepted 1/19. Finally able to print refund transcript this morning. Really hoping get ddd soon! Youngest is type 1 diabetic and I really need to get her a new device to help with her blood sugars. Hoping all of us waiting get our ddd soon!
-
And….The transcripts section on IRS site is not working again…smh what a tax year this has been.
-
Danielle—I know it says pending but its not. The only way I know the exact date is bc I have an offset which I can call the offset hotline and it says the exact date 2/10 that they will take their money out of my refund which is also the DDD. When I call the refund hotline it says they are still processing it….that’s only bc the hotline updates with the WMR website. U will have an update in the morning I know it. DO NOT WORRY ANYMORE–I’VE BEEN FREAKING OUT SINCE 1/19. I called the offset number yesterday with no luck. I was only able to hear the exact amount of money they are taking and the date as of this morning which is when I could order my return transcript. I looked on all kinds of forums and found the only 100% true way to know the ddd was if u have an offset. Hope this helps.
-
@Danielle: Calling is useless. They will give no helpful info unless you are lucky til it has been 21 days.
So if you can order your 2015 return transcripts, you are fine!
-
I did the return and account transcript and it say I should recieve in 7-10 days or whatever. But i called today and they said it was pending, unable to review it?!
-
Danielle—-It must be your 2015 return transcript. The annual transcript isn’t important. Make sure it is the return transcript. IF you can, you should have an update in the early morning after 3 am CST. You can only order one if it is completed. GOOD LUCK!
-
I was able to order a transcript online for 2015? What does that mean? Ive just followed what others have been discussing. Contacted IRS via chat today and they just told me to be patient!! Whats going on??
-
I was able to order my tax return transcript this morning too. I have an offset so I called the offset number. For people who were able to order their transcripts this morning, the date the offset hotline told me was a direct deposit date of 2/10. That’s when they plan to take their money out of my deposit. For sure it’s 2/10…will have an update on the irs website in the morning. If you look on the irs WMR home page, in the bottom right hand corner you will see the date of the last update.
JUST KEEP TRYING TO ORDER YOUR 2015 TAX RETURN TRANSCRIPT. ONCE YOU CAN YOUR RETURN HAS BEEN PROCESSED. YOU CANNOT ORDER ONE IF IT HASNT BEEN COMPLETED.
Good Luck everyone!
-
@Hailey2016: Glad you had good news today!

14 days in 2015Both were filed towards the end of January.
-
I’m so glad I was able to order my transcripts but that doesn’t ease my frustration with the IRS at this point! All I can do is pray that I as well as everyone else on here receives an update overnight. And for those of you who weren’t able to order transcripts I can only imagine how frustrating this is… just hang in there and stay on this site to stay informed and updated… Honestly idk what I would’ve done without this site
-
Finally able to order both transcripts early this morning 2/5
WMR still awaiting approval.
Hope to wake up to a DDD. -

Accepted 1/19Was JUST able to order return transcripts. Same boat, hoping to see 2 bars updated tomorrow for a DDD of 2/10 (hopefully earlier but I’m not holding my breath). If ever I had faith in the IRS it has absolutely dissolved. I won’t ever file early again.
-
@dom
I still can order my return transcripts either.
-
Filed on 1/17 using TT accepted 1/19 still no DDD and cannot order transcripts :( I am so OVER this tax season

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy FINALY ordered return transcript. gonna have our money by the 10th yayy. 1/18. accepted 1/19. still 1 bar and no ddd but I know it’ll be here by the 10th! yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
-
@losmoore: It updates around 3 – 6 AM Time zone I do not know. Just safe bet that by 9 AM CST, it has been updated.
-
FYI It seems as though the transcripts system is down. So this may mean a new update for people, it may also be why some cant order them.
-
What time tomorrow should I check WMR? I check all of the time and nothing. What time does IRS do the updates?
-
Is there anyone who is a 1/19 NOT able to still order transcripts? I am in that boat. Smh I am happy alot of you can order them… Anyone out there in the same boat?…lol
-
Hey everyone. Man was it hard to get on this site today. Was down for me all day. Me like most others, were able to order both transcripts and with new address today. I seriously almost cried while doing a happy dance.
I am sorry to hear for those of us who have not been able to order them, and like someone else, make sure to try and call also, as you may be entering your info a little different.
I called my bank (Chase) and no pending deposits. But a sure way to find out is the people who have offsets can call the TOP hotline and it should say when they plan to deposit it. I am guessing the 10th. But lets hope they push it through earlier!
-
If your unable to order transcripts online try calling to order them 18008291040
-
Just for sh*ts & giggles, I figured I’d try to order my return transcripts with my new address. It went through! I hope this is a good sign!! Didn’t even bother with the account transcripts because it appears everyone here says it’s the RT that you want to be able to order.
Still one bar on WMR.
-
Ok so here is my update. Filed 1/18 Accepted 1/19 Been sitting on one bar forever and never could order transcripts with my new address. I tried this morning nothing, I tried this afternoon nothing but I was trying online. Neither old address or new address was valid with there records so I decided to call the Transcript line and there you have it I was able to order both for 2015 with my new address. I hope this is progress.
-
I got the same transcript error it worried me I called the hotline and that worked.
I am still waiting hoping the update tonight sucks me in.
-
@aprilynn
Thanks for responding…i hope we both get good news soon!!!!
-
Real quick transcripts!!!!! I was unable to order return transcripts today online.i had to call the hotline and order over the phone no problem!!!
-
@Christine
No hun u r not the only one….. I was able to order my account transcripts on the 3rd but still not able to order my return transcripts yet…. I heard they update every hour so I will check later tonight or in the morning…… -
Yeah to everyone finally getting good news with transcripts finally being able to be ordered. I unfortunately dont seem to be that lucky…still cant order my refund transcript!!! Any one else still unable to or am i the only left???
-
*** It seems to be true, refunds will be issued 02/10/16 from what I was told by this extremely nice gentleman that I would get my return on 02/10 and several other people were told today from other IRS Reps that their return dates are 2/10/16 as well. I am expecting the WMR tool should update hopefully overnight.
-
1/19 Ppl this is finally our time. Most of us are able to order our return transcripts and i just have this crazy feeling we’re gunna wake up and see that second bar weve been dying to see. CANT WAIT! Hoping for tomorrow cant wait to see how this goes.
-
I was prompted to submit Form 4506T for Return Trans. but i am certain that is for Student Loans which are not delinquent but it looks like a “New’ requirement…
So I call IRS Live and Mrs. Frampson, NOT a SWEET grandma type, and b/c it is only day 17 she WOULD NOT BUDGE, If I hear WMR updates daily again I am going that “BAT SHIT CRAZY” road…… HEY IRS….if it updated EFFECTIVELY your phones wouldn’t be rattling the earth’s core……
A GOVERNMENT of CONSUMPTION Fun Fact: Fed Employees are Union and they have matching contribution RETIREMENT 5Star Health Care and IRS listed as one of USA’S BEST EMPLOYERS…..So get up off your ass and GO THE EXTRA MILE
-
#### PLEASE READ BELOW ####
I called the IRS and spoke to a wonderful gentleman. I was not able to order both my transcripts until today. I so polite and I told the guy that I wanted to make a payment plan on the $1k that I owe ( I already knew it couldn’t happen, they would take it all). The guy told me that the money was taken out today and I am scheduled to get my refund deposited on 02/10/16. Yeah!!!!! So here you guys go! He said, he was there to help people out and he understands what we are going through. He dropped the BOMB. Yeah, 1/19 er’s we are getting them on 2/10/16. YEAH!!!!!
-
I filed the 19th finally got the courage to call irs this morning and the lady just kept saying 21 days i told her i just want to make sure mt address was up to date because i moved and i have high anxiety i was losing my mind she finally asked for info to look into my account and was given a date for refund the 10th yes pass my 21 days but hey now i know lol and was just able to order transcript for new address ao yay im hoping its true hope everyone gets theres soon we file early cuz we want our money early lol
-
So I’m guessing based on others post that if we’re able to order return transcripts today 2/5… we should be getting a DDD tomorrow 2/6… for Wednesday 2/10
I’ve already claimed it ????????

I was accepted 1/19 wmr nor tt has updated at all.could not order return transcripts till today.my refund is touching 10,000 with an offset under 500.00.i called the offset hotline a few mins ago and this is what was stated.you have an offset of $$$$$ it will be deducted from your irs payment scheduled 2/10.so its on its way!!! I do believe we all will get ddd for 2/10.if u have an offset call the hotline.

Hello!
I was just wondering if you cannot order it online but can on the phone if that means anything?
my info:
filed: 1/19
accepted: 1/19
lost bars and got the message you return is still being processed a date will be provided when available message: 1/29
no transcripts online by new or old address as of today, but could order both on the phone -
Have been unable to order transcripts, yesterday could order account transcript online with old address, today the system isn’t recognizing either address so I figured what the hell I’ll just call, was able to order return transcript over the phone with my new address. I’m gonna take this as a good sign since everyone else has! I guess we’ll see in the morning if anything happens!
-
Filed the 14th, accepted the 19th. Bars disappeared a few days ago with the generic tax topic 152 message. Today, no change to WMR. I ordered both transcripts this morning. My state refund was issued 2/3 and still haven’t received that either. Irritating… Nothing other than I changed banks is different from last tax year. Refund amount is about the same as well.
-
Well well well
I was able (like a lot of others) to order my return transcripts this morning no change on WMR but I was able to order them with my new address so bye TT with your 02/20 guesstimate! I am very hopeful that we will all see a deposit or ddd VERY soon!!
-
BOOM!!!!!!! ME AND MY FIANCEE CAN FINALLY ORDER BOTH ACCOUNT AND RETURN TRANSCRIPTS WITH OUR NEW ADDRESSES!!!!!!! I AM LITERALLY SOOOOO HAPPY!!!! HOPEFULLY THERE IS AN UPDATE TOMORROW AND WE SEE MONEY ON MONDAY (HAVE SEEN DDD FOR 2/8) OR WEDS!!!! I AM GUESSING MONDAY THOUGH, AS I SAID IN MY PREVIOUS POST “WATCH THE SYSTEMS GO DOWN, WHICH ALLOWS THEM TIME TO PROCESS OLDER RETURNS SINCE THEY CAN’T ACCEPT E-FILE AND WE ALL GET OUR MONEY ON THE 8TH, 1 DAY BEFORE OUR 21 DAYS!!” HAHAHA. MAYBE MY CONSPIRACY THEORY WAS RIGHT!!
ANYWAYS, FOR THE PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT THE CORRELATION BETWEEN TRANSCRIPT AND RETURN, THE IRS SAYS THAT “YOU CANNOT PREDICT YOUR DDD BASED OFF OF YOUR TRANSCRIPT” HOWEVER, YOU CAN TELL IF YOUR RETURN IS PROCESSED BY BEING ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR RETURN TRANSCRIPT. SO IF YOU CAN ACCESS IT, YOUR RETURN IS PROCESSED, WHICH MEANS YOU WILL BE GETTING YOUR MONEY SOON. SO BASICALLY YES THERE IS A CORRELATION, BUT DONT THINK YOU ARE GETTING YOUR MONEY ON A SPECIFIC DAY BASED ON THE CODES.
-
ACCURATE UPDATE
like the rest of us filed and accepted 1/19 no WMR bar movement
Able to order return transcripts this morning.
I have a small offset, called the offset hotline and the recording said my offset is scheduled to be paid out 2/10/16 so I’m assuming that will be my DDD -
Today was the first time I was able to order my return transcript instead of just my account transcript. Still no change in WMR status…still on received, not approved, and no DDD. Hopefully, my DD (any many others on here) will hit on Monday – Wednesday at the very latest.

Filed: 1/19 on Turbo Tax
Accepted: 1/19 according to Turbo Tax (I say according because last year TT told me I was accepted on the 1/20 but the IRS told me I was accepted on 1/25. Turbo Tax may be inaccurate.)
2/1: Still 1 bar on WMR and only able to order Account Transcript with old address
2/5: Able to order Return with new address
Also, I called the number that I’ve seen posted to talk to a live person (1-800-829-0582 EXT: 352) and my wait was less than 10 minutes to reach some arrogant employee they had. He was such an ass. I see on forums that people were able to have a rep tell them their DDD. I told him that and he goes on to say how he loves his job and that the others don’t follow protocol blah blah blah…I wasn’t for it so I hung up in his face.
Anywho, despite what the IRS says, I believe that the ability to order a Return Transcript is a good sign! People have the transcripts down to a science and I know the IRS lies so …I’m believing the working American like myself.
I cannot wait to get my money to be done with this BS!
-
Still waiting on return status. Filed and accepted 1/19, as of today zip.
Jeah then
-
Some people believe there is a correlation transcripts being available and getting a return. I have no idea if that is true or not. I’ve seen people say they actually received their money BEFORE the bars updated to the 2nd bar. There is a lot of information out there, and I have no idea if it is right or wrong.
-
@jenica same here, ordered account transcripts yesterday, today they don’t recognize either address. Maybe it doesn’t matter, I think I’m giving up!
-
When you guys speak of transcripts are you ordering for the year 2015 or 2016? I can order both for 2015. Help!
-
Same, able to get transcripts. Hope it hits soon so we can have even more fun at Mardi Gras in Shreveport !
-
Was just able to order return transcript with my new address. Still one bar on WMR.
-
Filed 1/25. Finally as of this morning able to order a return transcript. Stuck at one bar with no DDD.. is this a good sign for Monday maybe?
-
Yay for progress! Show me the money!
-
It allowed me, for the first time this morning to order a return transcript, I still have only one bar, i filed on the 25th — IS this a good sign?? That i can order a return transcript w/out a DDD?
-
I filed 1/19 with H&R Block
Accepted 1/21. Was able to order my account transcript last week. FINALLY able to order return. Even though IRS website says don’t base anything off that, I feel I have a little glimmer of home that I’ll be receiving my refund soon. Maybe a DDD tomorrow?! Fingers crossed ? -
I was able to order my return transcript with the new address as well this morning. Finally some progress! We’re getting there guys! :)
-
Good morning all. I too am able to order return transcripts. That’s new as of this morning. Still no bar movement. TT says 32% have received money, So unless there’s a deposit by Tuesday, the 9 out of 10 is horse poo.
-
I was also able to order my return transcript as well (from the posts I have seen this is a good sign?). Is there a way to physically view your transcript online? I know the option has existed in the past.
-
@Talesa
That means progress, baby. We may get that second bar come tomorrow morning, and that’s good enough for me. -
Just able to order return transcripts for the first time. What’s the significance of that?
-
No DDD this morning, but after seeing lots of posts about finally being able to order yranscrilts, i decided to give them a call, and im finally able to order it too, woth new address as well, first morning in a week that i dont wake up feeling dissapointed
-
Yes! Finally ordered my return transcript!
I think our DDD is officially set for 2/9, we’re in the game now!
Still one bar on WMR, but progress indeed!
I think we’re going to see results come Tuesday ??????

so last week or so, I was able to order my account transcripts, today– when I try to go in and see if I can order the return transcript, they don’t recognize my address (old or new) why would that be happening? (filed 1/18, accepted 1/19– still one bar)

-
I hope this is good news, I was able to order my return trans. Still nothing on WMR, I think a lot of people where right we should get an update Sat and DD 2/9. People have been great on this site. I’ll still keep y’all updated until we get our money.
-
Alyusha
I can admit when I am wrong and seeing the 1/19 Turbo Tax paid only go to 32% was a huge shock. This is clearly a bigger problem than I thought and it appears the guy you spoke with was pretty accurate when he said that 80% of the returns had not been touched.
Hopefully we will now start seeing a big push because the IRS is not going to want the other 68% calling them on Tuesday. Thanks for your update.
-
Ours was deposited this morning as promised. To those who can ORDER RETURNS as of ths morning. We could order ours and the next day we had our DDD. So it IS on the way!!!
-
Was finally able to order return transcripts this morning.

-
452Am just able to order return transcript we good happy Friday
-
Well as of this morning I can order my account transcript with my new address! So this does show me that they have actually started my return. I absolutely belive the transcript has allot to do with it. If you can order return trans then it shows progress. And if others have been getting their refunds in 5 days or so I think its coming sooner rather than later.

After researching 25 pages deep on internet I found an accounting publication that stated:” Taxslayer detected a security threat on servers 8800 affected & then compared it to Taxact hack that canceled 9000 customers EEvidently the payroll providers of government are not thought to be mature enough to be told this information I guess they forgot these are the WORKING AMERICANS..

ABC News just posted this online article:
“Taxpayers filing their taxes online could face serious delays in getting a refund.An unspecified number of online tax processing systems, including the “Where’s My Refund” tool, were down on Wednesday as a result of a “hardware failure,” the IRS said in a statement.
“The IRS is still assessing the scope of the outage,” the agency said in a statement on Wednesday. “At this time, the IRS does not anticipate major refund disruptions; we continue to expect that 9 out of 10 taxpayers will receive their refunds within 21 days.”

-
Wow a whole 4%!
-
Well turbo tax went from 28% to 32% of filers from the 19th having recieced theie money. But still no progress for me.
-
Well. Remember Saturday and Wednesdays are “the big update days”. Also, according to some of the reports going around, true or not, claim the IRS will be pushing them through daily, with large clumps on Saturday and Wednesdays.
But I am willing to bet that if we don’t have an update comes Tuesday, and we call, they will say “You were pulled for a random review which set you you back a week and thus pushed back the 21 days to 28 days” like they said to me earlier.
-
Well I can’t wait till next tuesday, well either have our refunds or answers by then **HOPEFULLY**. They will probably just provide another bull shit answer.
-
Yeah I feel the same about the I.D fraud stuff. I mean I know people like the early deposits the prepaid cards offer and such. But why not mandate people us a bank account that matches their name? Like magic… The IRS matches names to bank accounts. Much less likely to be fraud then.
But I know there is some people out there that cant open bank accounts and such. Just making a point at how easy it would be to cut back on fraud while not slowing the process down.
-
@jumill87: Here is some food for thought. 20 people are freaking out and 10 of them are calling their bank to see if a $100 deposit came in. The bank instead refuses to give these 10 people information, so they call 5 times a day. That is 50 calls a day that take up 5 minutes each. That is over 4 hours of wasted time each day. They could easily just tell these 10 people the truth, who will in turn spread the word and prevent the other 10 from calling and stopping the original 10 from calling thus saving a potential 40 hours per week. Now times that by whatever you need to figure out how many people are calling the IRS everyday just to get smoke blown you know where.
-
Yeah I feel you Alyusha, I’m not necessarily relying on it, but I do need it if that makes sense. Its money I already made and want back. The thought of not getting it is just unacceptable to me. I’m worried too that I made some kind of mistake, but these forums give me some comfort knowing I’m not the only one. It’s obvious things are screwed up, the TT app on my phone says 2/20, the TT website tracker tells me 1/20 – 2/9 and the IRS just says 21 days. That tells me something is wrong and its not on our end. I don’t know how the hell they can hold it for ID fraud if everything you filed matches last years files, same job, same social, same address. If they held mine for that I would be so angry.
-
I wish the IRS support representatives would give us answers considering we pay their salary.
-
@jumill87: @chiinadollmimi: Same. Hell I was annoyed last year when it took 8 days to get my refund! You think the IRS would just step up and tell us what is really going on. Millions of people are thinking worst case scenario right now. Thinking something is wrong with their stuff, some people having babies, some getting married and some losing their houses and cars as we speak. Sure, do not rely on a tax refund to come in for bills. I get that. But not everyone in this country is filthy rich. I also do not think that all these trolls understand that a good portion of us are not getting back $200 or $300. Some people are getting back $10,000 + !!! Who would not be pissed if they had $10,000 in limbo? In many cases that is 10 months of work for some people! It is not like this money is a loan or a favor! Its ours! We worked for it! We gave it to the government so they could collect interest on it and do god knows what with it! GIVE IT BACK!
I get that issues arise as I am sure 95% of the people waiting in limbo do also. But I think a simple OFFICIAL notice saying “Hey, we messed up. We are sorry, Everyone should expect to receive their refunds about 12 days later than normal” would settle everyone’s nerves and stop the crap!
I am just trying to get through this like everyone else. I have found peace in figuring the IRS is a week behind and am hopeful for next week, but have gone on to make other plans. No matter if this is the case or not.
-
@Alyusha yes I am receiving the same error….how disturbing.
-
LOL she said from the 50’s @jumil87. Thank you @Alyusha. I just had hopes that it meant something. I’m tired of these fake messages… I’m going crazy!
-
This is so depressing. This is what makes me hate our bureaucracy. The webs of lies and bull shit you have to weed through to find the real answers. The IRS is a whole different monster, they get so much money to upgrade their systems etc yet they break down and are supposedly still using machines from the 50’s and 60’s.
-
@chiinadollmimi: I have heard that email you received was just a generic email. Basically TT has an automated system that sends them out and it is past the time that people normally get their refunds. So they are ahead of their selves.
@accepted1919: Did you get any info from them?
-
I received the Thank you email from Turbo tax…. Does that even mean anything?
By the way I talked to someone at the irs and turbo tax earlier today, I’m in the green, with hopes wishes and dreams that I will get some type of update. Let’s see what the weak ass “system outage” does for us.
-
**there not their sorry!
@alyusha pheeew!! what a sight of relief. I almost lost it their for a moment. i mean what else could go wrong with our return we’ve already been pushed back, waiting in idle for some movement and nothing while almost everyone who filed after us gets their returns…i’m just so tired of waiting. I would be more revealed if we all got our returns. Thanks @alyusha!!! -
@accepted1919: I also got the busy signal a few times when I called them.. Just keep trying, it will go through.
-

@accepted1919: The number I called is 319.373.3600 and they are open til 9 PM CST I was on hold for maybe about 10 mins. Press the option for technical support (even if you used free efile)
Please update us to let us know what they say for you.
-
Be careful about sending your info again. It could be a hack. There are a lot of trolls watching these forums.
-
@Jamie: Please read my post below. I called about that error.
Also when I said TaxAct said everything was fine, they meant everything was fine with them. They said The efile was submitted and accepted by the IRS and not rejected. That is all the info they will see until the IRS approves it and so on.
So we are fine.
-
For anyone using tax act and getting the error message…if you filed joint try the other persons info…i got the same error using mine but using my husbands (who was primary filer) got the info that is was accepted. Hope that helps
-
@alyusha can i get the number for tax act? i would like to call and find out myself about my return.
-
@accepted1919: NO! DO NOT RESUBMIT! That will probably mess up your or delay your return.
I just called TaxAct about it and they said everything is fine. The ONLY way it would not be fine is if it got rejected, which would have happened on the 19th or closer to it. You would also get an email from taxact saying it was rejected.
If you would like to confirm your self, The number I called is 319.373.3600 and they are open til 9 PM CST (1 and a half hours longer) I was on hold for maybe about 10 mins. Press the option for technical support (even if you used free efile)
Also while on the phone with them, I checked again and it showed up fine. So I think they are just having website issues.
-

i am confused if Tax Act is saying all of this then how come the IRS was able to accept our return? so are we supposed to resubmit our info on tax act again? I’m so irritated with the IRS and tax act for not emailing us or letting us know this…I will not use tax act again this has been my 9th year using it and never had any problems…so please tell me should I wait on the 9th or just re submit it again? i am very confused because were is my refund has our tax info and all I’ve gotten was 1 bar and when tax act sends you that email that the IRS has accept your return and gives you a submission number doesn’t it mean that our taxes went through otherwise you would of been rejected at that point. I dont know what the heck is going on but this crap needs to be straighten out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The part that gets me is him saying if you aleady have a WMR date not to worry.
-
@Worried2015: @TC hmm It did not say that for me earlier. What is even more alarming is in my list of returns it used to say the following:
Type Description Status
Created on January 14, 2015 at 2:44 AMReturn Printed E-filed Status
FEDERAL Feb 1, 2016 Jan 20, 2015 Accepted as of Jan 20, 2015(thats for 2014, and it still says it there)
For 2015, it said the same info for this years dates, now its blank.

Irs.gov website posted this in its news section.
Update: IRS Systems are Operating
Updated IRS Statement
Feb. 4, 2016 – 6 p.m. EST
The IRS announced it resumed processing individual and business tax returns at approximately 5 p.m. Thursday following resolution of its system outage. Many of the tools and applications came up earlier on Thursday morning, including “Where’s My Refund” on IRS.gov.
“IRS teams worked throughout the night and around the clock on this system outage,” IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said. “Our processing systems are back in business. Taxpayers should see little, if any, impact on their tax returns or refunds. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused, and we appreciate the support and patience from taxpayers as well as our partners in the tax community and state revenue departments.”
The IRS emphasized that taxpayers do not need to take any additional steps or action due to the outage, including people who filed just before or during the outage. Throughout this period, taxpayers were able to continue to send their tax returns to their e-file provider; these companies have already started sending these tax returns into the IRS.
Taxpayers who have received a specific refund date from the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov should not be affected by the outage. The IRS reminds taxpayers that many variables factor into processing of tax refunds, including fraud prevention efforts, but we continue to anticipate that nine out of 10 taxpayers will receive their refunds within 21 days after being accepted by the IRS. In addition, the IRS reminds taxpayers that IRS.gov remains the best place to check for information on refunds. Additional information is available at: https://www.irs.gov/Refunds/What-to-Expect-for-Refunds-This-Year
The IRS is continuing to examine the underlying cause of the outage yesterday as well as monitoring any follow-up issues. It’s important to note that at this time this situation appears to be a hardware failure.
-
That’s the message I always got from taxact, I was never able to see my efile that way I can only see my status when I actually go to another screen and enter in all my info
-
@Aluysha. I am seeing the same message on TA.
-
No change for me on TT. Still says..
Your expected refund delivery is between January 20 and February 9
28% of TurboTax customers whose returns were also accepted on January 19 have received their money.
And still no WMR update.
-
I’m glad I am not the only one wondering where my refund is this year. My niece and I filed both on 1/19…she had no bars either but today her money was deposited in her account…I still have 1 bar and no money!!! I went through this crap last year…bars disappeared, waited my 21 days, tried for 5 days calling the irs to never get to talk to a real person kept telling me due to high call volume they couldn’t accept my call and would hang up on me. I went to my local irs office and asked what was going on the lady there told me it would take up to 4 weeks to find out what was wrong. It literal took the whole 4 weeks to recieve a call saying it was taken care of and my refund will be deposited in 7-10 days, with no further explination as to what happened…i filed jan 30 did not get my refund til early april. If this happens again this year I am going to lose it.
-
@Danielle: and @Paitently Waiting: Below is a link to the TaxAct site I used. It used to say everything was fine and accepted by the IRS on 1/19/16 blah blh blah.. now it says….

-
I personally don’t have a source. I have been thinking this for days now. I saw the post that your talking about. They keep saying that there was no issues until this outage. I think that’s a lie. They have known about the glitch and hoped for the best. I have seen posts that 19rs have been pushed a week out. Something had to have happened. I’ve Seen people file on 1/31 get a DDD of 2/8. That’s such crap. What about us? It’s convenient to have an outage right before millions get ready to hit 21 days. Somehow when they opened on the 19th something caused a bunch of efilers to keep being pushed back.
-
I hate to be the bearer of bad news here… but from what I’m reading, last year when the call volume got too high the IRS phone system would simply state that they could not handle the call volume and hang up on you. So I don’t think we’re going to bother them much when we all try to call on Tuesday. :/
-
I agree! How can u continue processing refunds if there are ppl who haven’t gotten theirs yet. We all should have to wait. Ppl who filed after us should be after is period
-
@patiently waiting
Oh I really thought there might have been some kind of something because I have not been able to sign in until today. -
@johnjay: It is the best explanation we have had thus far. It sounds believable. Not that I am doubting you, but I wonder who that persons extremely reliable source is.
-
@Danielle myself and my family also used TA and RB has been giving me that message for 2 wks about nothing has been deposited and showing my filing fees and all
-
I filed 1/7 accepted 1/12. IRS says did not start processing , unti!l 19th. Like some of you still one bar, I called today spoke with woman who answered several questions, one that IRS was down yesterday and it is still possible to get direct deposit . Was told that I should see update soon, worse case have to call on 2/9 to find out what is going on. She actually looked up my account had me verify my identy, so that it would not be flagged for identy, issues..She did give me hope that they were trying to get all of the filers done by this weekend. So we could get on the deposit dates for next week. Hope that helps
-
I hope they have a crap ton of people ready to take the calls I know I am gonna make all day long and all week if need be..the phit storm is coming….
-
It’s just sad. They have been using the excuse that it’s not been 21 days. Now when all the millions of 19rs start calling on Tuesday and Wednesday they will blame the outage. It’s all garbage. I agree with you about owing taxes. We couldn’t say “I didn’t make my payment because my computer crashed” They would laugh and proceed to put lein’s on everything you own.
-
So let me get this straight. .they screwed us 19ers and we got resequenced at least once to my knowledge. .and they are now back up taking new efile batches..and I as many of you still have no clue what is going on..another week seeing people get the refund in 5-8 days..its bulls*it . We should be top priority. First in first out right IRS
-
I seriously wonder when the media will catch wind of this. THat almost 90 percent of the early filiers still havent had their refunds yet or even their returns approved yet.
-
@heuserj they lie becaues they think if they tell the truth people will hate them even more. which for me is impossible right now.
-
So they still aren’t addressing those of us that filed early (before 23rd)! How can they start back accepting returns when the early filers aren’t processed yet? Such bs
-
Why don’t they just say “sorry America we screwed up. We had a system failure and if you filed on X date there was an issue. We apologize for the disruption but are working to correct the error” I know that would be enough for me. Then at least you would know it’s not something on our end. But they just do like always give a generic excuse.
-
Has anyone had a change to their “estimated” deposit date from TT? Saw in a different forum people were saying TT changed the date from the 10th to the 22nd. Just curious.
-
@kristie if i ever owe taxes imma take my sweet time. and if they try to charge me penalties for being late im going to say i was late due to “techincal difficulties”
-
Wow another line of crap. Still no explanation to all of us waiting for 2 weeks. Still saying 9 out of 10. Such garbage.
-
@JohnMango
yeah, I rolled my eyes on that one too! :)
-
So to refreash I filed 1/19 and accepted 1/19 using taxact. I have been checking Republic bank to see if it has recieved a refund for me and it actually went to a page saying that a refund for this social security number has not yet been recieved which I think is interesting because I have been checking on my phone and it wouldn’t allow me to sign in (Which usually means that my social hasn’t been recieved by them yet). Maybe there is hope for us yet?
-
@kristie “Taxpayers should see little, if any, impact on their tax returns or refunds.” HAHAHHA what a liar.
-
just posted to the irs website:
Updated IRS Statement
Feb. 4, 2016 – 6 p.m. EST
The IRS announced it resumed processing individual and business tax returns at approximately 5 p.m. Thursday following resolution of its system outage. Many of the tools and applications came up earlier on Thursday morning, including “Where’s My Refund” on IRS.gov.
“IRS teams worked throughout the night and around the clock on this system outage,” IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said. “Our processing systems are back in business. Taxpayers should see little, if any, impact on their tax returns or refunds. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused, and we appreciate the support and patience from taxpayers as well as our partners in the tax community and state revenue departments.”
The IRS emphasized that taxpayers do not need to take any additional steps or action due to the outage, including people who filed just before or during the outage. Throughout this period, taxpayers were able to continue to send their tax returns to their e-file provider; these companies have already started sending these tax returns into the IRS.
Taxpayers who have received a specific refund date from the “Where’s My Refund?” tool on IRS.gov should not be affected by the outage. The IRS reminds taxpayers that many variables factor into processing of tax refunds, including fraud prevention efforts, but we continue to anticipate that nine out of 10 taxpayers will receive their refunds within 21 days after being accepted by the IRS. In addition, the IRS reminds taxpayers that IRS.gov remains the best place to check for information on refunds. Additional information is available at: https://www.irs.gov/Refunds/What-to-Expect-for-Refunds-This-Year
The IRS is continuing to examine the underlying cause of the outage yesterday as well as monitoring any follow-up issues. It’s important to note that at this time this situation appears to be a hardware failure.
-
my wife called the processing bank ?cevista? and they said they showed no activity or pending for us. that was about 12:45 est today
-
@johnjay
That makes sense. I can handle a delay if I know what it is and im informed. Its the “not knowing” that drives me batty.
Thanks for posting.
-
It makes complete sense to me. There are to many of us that filed and have the same problem. I would understand if it was a specific group. But it’s all types of filing’s. All different types of statuses and dependents or credits.
-
@jay why not? at the very least it seems plausible to me. have a better theory?
-
@johnjay im not buying into that at all
-
Thats what I have been saying. It’s the only thing that really makes any sense.
All this news about the technical problems is a warning more to those who file now. -
These are my stats (well fiances since the kids went under him)
Filed 1/14/16 HNR Block fees taken from refund Before this not filed taxes for 7 years
accepted 1/19/16 2:17 pm
1 bar tax topic 152 Can get acct transcripts under old address nothing under new.I am wondering how they are doing the Marketplace review this year. They cant go though every single return and match it up with what they received can they? I have a feeling I am off a month from when our medicare stopped and when we picked up work health insurance. I said July paperwork showed aug….OOPS.
Ive about hit my limit with this years taxes. I fired as soon as I got the W2 for a reason. We already put money down on a pathfinder for my fiance, and I do not want to loose that waiting for taxes. I know I am not getting the money this week but so help me if there is no movement what so ever by the 9th I will turn into a bitchy customer. I would feel better if I knew it had even been looked at…but since I cannot get transcripts under the new address then I know they have not yet. I hope what everyone is saying is true that the “Breakdown” from yesterday will allow the IRS to catch up.
-
This is interesting:
Ok so I have it from an extremely reliable source that the IRS screwed up big time this year. Refunds that were accepted between 1/19-1/23 encountered an error and were resequenced. No biggie right? Wrong! Instead of being resequenced and delayed by only a week or so (which would still have them being paid out in the 21 day timeframe the IRS gives) they were sent to the bottom of the processing “pile”. The issue was believed to have been resolved by 1/27 but it was discovered that as new refunds were submitted, the resequenced batch continued to be “moved” to the bottom of processing list.
On 2/2 a new “fix” was pushed out but it only caused more issues and eventually led to the IRS voluntarily taking down the e-file service so the resequenced batch of refunds could be properly processed. Because of this, people with acceptance dates 1/24 – 2/2 will still be processed and more than likely received DDD before the 1/19-1/23 filers but those will then be processed and paid out.
Current estimated date to have all pending refunds deposited is by 2/19. Deposits will be daily -weekends with large batches on Wednesday and Fridays.
-
http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/04/pf/taxes/irs-systems-down/ perfect excuse for those of us that filed on 1/19. Still trying to say 9 out of 10 get processed within 21 days. This would give them the break they need to fix ours by our 21 day mark. They don’t want millions of calls on 02/09. Asking what is the problem.
-
O5 from my understanding is a weekly cycle. That would put you on a Wednesday refund. But don’t count on next Wednesday. They now have an excuse to blame the delay on.
-
I have a question. I just recieved a transcript from the irs. It’s not the one I was waiting for for this year, but I looked at my cycle number from last year’s taxes. It says 20150505. What does this mean?
-
I agree with what your saying. But how did ours get put on the back burner.
I mean if ours got delayed. Why did so many people days or weeks after us file and get a DDD?
I have a feeling the new system was set up as a first come first serve plan.
It had a glitch that caused all of us to keep being pushed to the bottom of the pile.
The so called shut down is to fix our refunds. That’s why they stopped accepting efile batches. -
Then you also need to figure that if we have been pushed back a week, that makes our new 21 day on the 16th. TurboTax is probably covering their butts by saying 1/20 since there still would be an update 1/17 for a DDD on 1/19..
This all makes sense to me, how does it not to you guys?
-
I think that us 1/19’s will find out on the 10th their excuse will be the technical difficulties excuse. I feel it’s very convenient they have a major issue just before our 21 day mark. This is crazy. I have seen people post a week to 2 weeks after getting DDD. I honestly feel they messed up and we are paying the price. I believe the shut down is real, but it’s being used to process us. The 1/19’s that slip through this will get another generic excuse blamed on the outage.
-
@Steve Smith: Well TurboTax is only 1 of the services. There is a lot of ways to efile. So if TT says 28% got it, then you have to assume that about only 4% of people have actually received it. Probably less.
@Worried2015: No my bars never went away. Just was having issues ordering transcripts with old address, which just means the IRS has not processed mine yet.
Like I said.. The IRS calendar does not even say they started til the 25th, irregardless of when we filed, IRS told me a week delay. IRS has told several people a week delay. Tax Advocates say the IRS did not start processing on the 19th. TurboTax has delayed expected refund date date out to a week and a half past the old deadline for 1/19ers.
I think it is pretty safe to assume that everything is a week behind on the 1/19ers. Some got lucky, but the majority did not. I would expect an update and a DDD of Wednesday or friday 2/10/16 or 2/12/16
-
Some news…
The Santa Barbara Tax Group which is the bank that Turbo Tax users have their fees and refund processed through just posted a disclaimer on their website that funding and updates have been delayed because of the IRS systems crash.
-
Yea the blog says 1/19 and I’m a 1/20 so what I filed on 1/19 and I feel the sting of not having any bars move and no ddd or no answer’s as to why I haven’t gotten back any responses from IRS doesn’t matter if you’re 1/19 or 1/23 and in between because the majority from those dates are all having the same issue’s let’s put our heads together and not be selfish like its only a 1/19 thang thanks:)
-
I did see your post I was just wondering if you had ever lost bars or anything … none of this makes sense :( I have never waited this long
-
Steve- I couldnt agree more the IRS screwed something up bad for the 1/19 batch and are scrambiling for answers. In the mean time they are just telling their phone reps to give us the run around til then.
-
Richelle
I am not trying to argue or be negative but the math is not adding up. Turbo tax has the amount of people paid that filed on the 19th at 28% and that number is going to climb dramatically at midnight tonight when the 2/5 DD hits. There is no way 80% of the people from 19th have not been touched in my opinion.
I think that the IRS agents are simply making up stories because they do not know. I believe a large subset of the 19th were affected by a software glitch and that once they start getting calls on 2/9 after our 21 days it will be corrected. I don’t even think they realize there is a problem yet. That is just my two cents. I am as frustrated as everyone but we will never likely get a real answer as to why it took extra time. I just hope it is not too much extra time.
-
So just got off phone with a actually really nice man at IRS. I explained I had moved since last year and wanted to make sure that would not cause a issue with my refund…I was fishing for answers… he said over 80% of taxes filed on 19th have not even be processed yet, they were put on hold. Mine being one of them, I filed and was accepted on 1/19 and it has not even been touched! He was nice enough to go ahead and update my address for me (fingers crossed that will help) but he said if we don’t see anything by next Friday then call back……errrrrr
-
1/19 ers
I would not get two excited/disappointed based on the mobile Turbo Tax application. I filed two returns as I mentioned before one for me and one for my son. My son’s is getting DD tonight and I have verified it with bank. The app says he will get it the 20th. It appears that it says the 20th for nearly everyone that got accepted the 19th. I actually would love to at least have a date but unfortunately or fortunately it just looks like a bad app and not a real date. Thanks.
-
@Worried2015: Yes. Did you see the post I made a few ago about my call to the IRS?
-
I filed on 1/14 and was accepted 1/19 according to TT. BUT have NEVER had any bars on WMR. has anyone else had this problem?
-
Yep me too, just downloaded the turbo tax refund tracker and it says 2/20
-
Did you still just have the one bar and tax topic 152?
Accepted the 19th can only get transcripts with old address not new
-
Filed: 1/16
Accepted: 1/19 **WINK WINK**
Status: I saw on the turbo tax question support that someone was told to download the wheres my refund turbo tax edition on my phone, claiming his estimated refund date was now the 20th of february. I thought no freakin way, so I downloaded it and wow, estimated refund date is feb 20th. Excuse my language but what the FU*K. I am calling turbo tax to demand a refund, this is absolutely ridiculous. Someone definitely dropped the ball here and I have a feeling its turbo tax. I want my $60 freakin bucks back, I paid them for absolutely nothing. So frustrated right now, I am moving states exactly on february 20th, and need the extra money for moving expenses etc. I suggest everyone who filed with TT to check the phone app and see what your update is. Hate to be the bad news bearer but hopefully this gives everyone a little insight. I suggest we all call turbo tax and demand refunds for those that had to pay. -
@alyusha thanks for the info! however that “under review” line is just a lie he just wanted to get you off the phone without having to admit that the IRS screwed it up for the 1/19 people. They gonna sit there and tell us we are all under review thats why we havent gotten our money yet? All these people who filed on 1/19 or under review? child please…
-
made by turbotax, its in the app store on my iphone. I suggest you check it out.
-
Sadly we have a better chance of the tooth fairy delivering our money tomorrow than the IRS. Frustrated like everyone else.
-
WOW! I was told to download the turbotax app wheres my refund, made my turbo tax. Said my estimated refund date is now February 20th. WHAT TH E F*** SO MAD!
-
Also, the tax advocate lady said they started accepting on the 19th, but did not start processing. But would not tell me when they started.
Based upon this and my before mention theory that the IRS is a week behind due to their calendar saying they did not even start working until 1/25/2016, I now believe that all the people who filed the week of opening week were just put in a que and nothing started until the 25th.
Maybe a select few made it through. but yeah.
I feel a bit better at least knowing what is going on. Still pissed its not this week, or last week. But at least now I can assume it will be next week.
-
@Yolanda Moore — that’s so frustrating. I wonder if anybody got a surprise DD in their account but still had one bar on WMR? I know it’s far fetched but I figured I’d ask.
-
I just got off the phone with the IRS. I then immediately contacted the Tax Advocate people and the IRS was more helpful than the later.
I initially called the IRS because neither systems were letting me order transcripts. So after they updated my address and ordered my last year transcripts which I did not really want nor care about.. I said to the guy “Now I know what the answer is to this, but I feel that I should I should try” and told him I filed on the 19th, and have heard nothing. I just wanted to check and see if everything was OK. He said “Well, you already know this, but it can take up to 21 days, but since I am already in the account, let me check” He then informed that my account was randomly pulled for review and this can add an additional week to processing. I then asked him if this was something I should be concerned about and if there was anything I needed to do. He went on to say ” No there is nothing to worry about, I have seen A LOT of people pulled for review. There is no need for you to do anything, just have to wait one more week. ” So I tried to fish a little more more info by saying “So, hypothetically if I was supposed to finish processing and get a refund this week, then it would be delayed for next week?” He did not really answer that the way I wanted, but he did say ” Normally, you have to wait 21 days from filing, but since the review added a week, you will have to call the week after to get more information.”
Basically saying that because of this “”review””” it added a week to processing and instead of it being 21 days, it has become 28 days. So I can not call on the 9th and get information (although I will still try), I now have to wait until the 16th.
Once off the phone with him, I called the tax Advocate line in Springfield, Illinois ( I called them vs. Chicago because you tend to get nicer people there) But she only directed me to call the Chicago line..
The woman I spoke with was even worse than the IRS and would only say it has not been 21 days yet. Kept repeating her self. I guess the only thing I could get from her, and only if I look real deep into what she said and twist it a little… I asked “Well the IRS said I am under review, I just want to see what this means” She said “It has not been 21 days, everyone is under review.”
So I wonder if this means that since there has been obvious delays and issues with the IRS, most the people from 1/19 and close to it are under “additional review” thus adding a week to our delay and buying them more time.
So I now see that the IRS messed up somewhere and there is no way they can process all the people from opening week, and that’s the answer. I do not think we are getting a DD or DDD this week. I am guessing next week.
-
Jenica Yes, I asked specifically that question. My situation is the same, I can access WMR and it shows “accepted” however the TT rep advised me that WMR is down and that info may not be correct.
-
Sorry @jenica but it doesn’t look good. Most of the 1/19 people are haivng issues and its not by coincidence. Look at the forums at other dates nothing compares to the issues we are having
-
I’m on the same boat as everybody else here (filed 1/18, accepted 1/19) got my state taxes on 1/26. One bar on WMR. I was wondering– I saw someone mentioning something about a TT rep saying that WMR wasn’t updated due to the crash or whatever.. If I can see my WMR status– is it still “down” or? I’m beyond frustrated at this point and I just keep praying for a miracle. Something has to happen by tomorrow or I’m going to be homeless. ACK.
-
@Tyla19th heck yes!!!! Go $$$$ and go broncos! lol
-
Guys it has become apparent that we are the 1 out of 10 people who wont be receiving their refunds within 21 days. The IRS screwed something up for the people who filed on the 19th and what is frustrating is that they wont admit it. They will keep saying “it hasnt been 21 days yet” bull while hoping whatever they screwed up is fixed in time. But we arent stupid. They going to tell us theres nothing odd that friends of mine filed just 10 days ago already received their refunds while we are out here stuck waiting for our “21 days”? What a joke
-
I just was chatting with a TT rep and he advised be that WMR is down and info present is my not be correct. I also read on some of the other comments that there may be pending deposits for tomorrow. I did check my acct and unfortunately there is not any pending deposit info. I still have my fingers crossed for a deposit tomorrow though.
-
Good Afternoon 1/19 er’s
I owe the IRS $1k from 2013 tax year, I spoke to the balance due department about an hour ago. I asked her if the fact that I owe back taxes is delaying my refund, she sated… “No” She advised me that the common misconception right now is that people are assuming that our processing date started on 1/19. However; that is just the date that the IRS opened the lines to start accepting returns….not the start processing date. She advised me that they did not start processing returns “OFFICIALLY” until 1/31. Can anyone shed any light on this??????
-
They must have our money on the Superbowl game Sunday. Let’s just hope the Broncos win!
-
I filed on 1/19 and was accepted the same day. Still stuck on one bar. I called the IRS and she won’t even talk to me about it until the 10th of February. I looked online and it says I should receive it by Feb 5 but I can see that isn’t happening. So frustrating! Anyone else stuck as well?
-
I filed on 1/12/16 with H&R Block and was accepted on 1/19/16. I’m stuck on 1 bar and haven’t had any changes since then. I filed my boyfriend’s taxes for him on 1/24/16 and he received his refund yesterday 2/3/16. I’m currently on hold with the IRS. I know this is absolutely frustrating but hopefully we ALL get this resolved soo
-
OJSKDF*(8U92U99@#$@
-
I honestly think the irs just shut down to catch up. If what leborican21 said is true, then they probably are getting our 19ers refunds up to date and we should all be good by the 9th. They might just distribute them over the next couple days. Its sucks to wait another couple days but…hey.
-
@Kim
I filed with HRB so I don’t think it’s just TT. You can’t all leave me! LOL -
Filed 1/19 and accepted 1/19
I cant order return transcript
One bar the whole time.
I filled my boyfriends the same day and he has a DD set for tomorrow.
His is a very small refund. Where i have 2 dependents. I was counting on this refund b4 the 9th as TT stated.
We are supposed to be out of this house by the 25th but cant get into the new house without taxes. I get i need to be patient but it has never took this along and it makes me worry. The least they could do is send out some kind of mass response that there will be issues. Yea yea i know only 9 out of 10 will be by the 21 days but if there are this many of us those statistics dont seem right. There are people filling after us getting refunds. I file early every year and still have gotten my refund within 2 weeks.
How am i supposed to know if i was pushed back. I dont know for sure my cycle but seems to me like im a 5. It drives me crazy to think i will have to wait for an update until next wednesday. If it doesnt update ill lose it. The wait and anticipation is killing me. Is something wrong? I just need to kniw something. Ugh -
@Kim Could you post a link? I get ‘server error’ when i try to search for it. I got the friend request though :)
-
Hey you guys, I just spoke with a representative from the IRS(I was lucky to get a kind older woman). I had filed on the 15th and got accepted the 19th like a lot of you. I filed single with an education credit, same address/employer etc. I used every ounce of etiquette in my life to ask her nicely if she could check to see if my refund had any problems. At first she tried to give me the 21 days statement but I explained to her that I hadn’t checked WMR in about a week (LIES) and that I just wanted to verify if anything was needed on my end. I also thanked her profusedly for being so kind and helpful and that I knew she must have been very busy. Luckily she bought my story and checked the status of my refund. She said it was in process and that I had no flags but that the crash had backed up their access to most filers info. All in all she told me not to worry and that it didnt matter if we filed early, 21 days from the 19th is what considered the checking date for them. She couldn’t give me an exact date but she said that all of the refunds accepted the 19th are currently being processed as priority. I hope this helps some of us!
-
@brideofchaotica2 I started “Used TT Accepted 1/19” I tried to edit to “around 1/19” but new to site and probably not doing something right??? I sent you a friend request too
-
@Sandy I have the AOC, filed 1/18, accepted 1/19 TT, cant order return transcripts, 1 bar. There were delays with AOC last year and a few of the people I have seen talk about delays this year were posting articles from last year so not sure if there is REALLY a delay again this year or not. I have not read any legit articles stating anything about AOC delays this year though.
-
What is frustrating is that the IRS will not even talk to you to try and alert them to a possible problem. #1/19
-
@Kim I think that would be a good idea but even this group says “accepted 1/19” and there are several users who were accepted different days that participate in this thread anyway.
-
I have seen multiple people who have talked to the IRS post now that there was a “master file” over run on the first day and that has caused the issue with the 1/19 filings. This seems like the most logical answer as the first day would likely get more people filing than the other days. I filed two on this day and the one I filed early in the morning for my son got paid and mine which was done in the evening did not. It would make sense that the second one would have issues if it was a file over run. This is all speculation on my part. It is certainly frustrating but I have not been able to find anyone at Turbo Tax or the IRS that seems willing to give anything more than a generic answer.
#1/19
-
I think we should start a “Used TT Accepted 1/19” group and isolate ???
-
INSANE 60+ years the IRS has had to learn to do EVEN a MODERATE job yet here we are… The 1/19 group has MORE members than ANY group I am beginning to think it is tied to the service used to file??? Seems like ALOT of TT people are on here.
TT responded to a variation of this question yesterday by sending me the link for the “Systems Down” but that does not explain prior to yesterday. When more 1/27 and after are receiving Refunds than the FIRST filers SOMETHING went WRONG!
Filed 1/14 Accepted 1/20 Basic Return not itemized Took American Opportunity Credit for me & my son (Both in College) Done not ROCKET SCIENCE
1 Bar Topic 152
-
Filed through Turbo Tax. Accepted on 1/19/16. Only one bar with Tax Topic 152 as of 12:20 EST 2/4/16. Filed from South Carolina. IMO, the IRS has really dropped the ball this year.
-
Filed 1/11
Accepted 1/19
No DDD
Still only 1 bar. Can order account transcript some days using old address some days it says info doesn’t match. Have yet to be able to order return transcript. Used H&R Block Online. Officially over it!!
-
Hey everyone I filed on the 19th and accepted the same day. I’ve been stuck at one bar w/tax topic 152 since then. I called the IRS today and got an a** hole that gave me the generic 21 day spill so I hung up on his face and called right back and got a nice lady. She told me that there was nothing wrong with a lot of people’s taxes who filed the 19th including mines but due to millions of returns being accepted at the same time the main system went down. She stated that this caused a week delay so instead of 3 it can take 4. She stated the only time you need to worry is if you receive a letter in which that would have already been sent (this happened last year to someone I know). If you haven’t received a letter just know that it’s processing and you can get a deposit anytime between now and the next 2 weeks since it was pushed back.
-
My 2015 tax return was accepted on 01/15. Still have not received my refund. When I called this morning, they said if I don’t receive by 02/09 call them back. But please beware, speaking to an agent will only frustrate you, they have the same info. as the where is my refund site. I’ve called 3 times and all agents seem clueless. But I was able to confirm that irs performs direct deposits daily. Agents are told not to share too much info. you can tell, you have to damn near beg them to look your information up. They will try to get away with providing general info instead of providing specific info. And even if your tax return wad accepted prior to January 19, it wasn’t formally accepted until the 19th. I will say, there have been a lot of cases with data breaches and other countries having access to the personal records of the U.S. which would explain their extra long verification process especially if you were one of the affected persons and i was, that’s just my guess.
-
@Sunshine……no pending deposit at my bank. Feeling like Charlie Brown…..I got a rock.
-
This is really frustrating. I have been reading that due to the system crash WMR is unavailable. However I can access my info on WMR. I filed and was accepted 1/19/16. 3 dependents, only W2 info and no offsets. TurboTax says that the latest I should have my refund is 2/9/16, the refund cycle chart says I should have DD-2/5/16. I am skeptical about the DD of 2/5/16 when I haven’t even gotten a notice of approval yet. Last year I received by refund back in 18 days however I had a date by now. I don’t understand why is the issue this year. I really need to know something, I would think if there was something wrong I would have been notified by now. But I also have a friend that didn’t know if there was any issues until she reached her 21 days limit.
-
Filed 1/18. Accepted 1/19. One bar. No ddd, No money. Ordered acc trans, not return trans.
Guess I’ll be wasting another day at work checking my netspend online, checking TT, and wmr Like a crack head. LOL.
-
@Sunshine State do you know that website about the 4000+ comments? Anyone receiving there money in check form? Filed and accepted Jan. 1956th. Still on one bar.
-
Filed 1/18, accepted 1/19. Still no news, only one bar, tax topic 152 (this is a general topic and one I get every year, so no worries there). We’re all in the same boat it seems, and it’s really pissing me off. It’s MY money – I have to give it to them immediately upon being paid wages, but they can take their sweet ass f*cking time giving it back to me. Complete bullocks.
-
You know a patient who is a CPA reminded me that this really isn’t a refund but is actually my change because I let them borrow money from my check. Maybe I should charge them interest.
I still have no update and NYS has for the 4th year in a row pulled my return for further review. If it happens next year I will have to consider it harassment.
Let’s just hope that today is our day! Good luck everyone. And @Terry if I don’t get my money until this summer we are going to have a problem! LOL
-
Here’s a small glimmer of hope. Saw on another website that WMR status bar isn’t working right. There’s some 4000+ comments of people who filed 1-19 who haven’t got their refund yet.
BUT A LOT of people have said they’ve called their bank and there’s pending deposits from IRS to be deposited 2/5/16 WITHOUT being able to order transcripts or any bar movements.
Also a lot of people claiming to have received DD WITHOUT any bar movements. This other website seems to think a lot of us 1/19 people will get deposits Friday 2/5 I guess we will see.
-
I’m new to this, but how are tax returns processed? I don’t understand how people who filed after me already have ddd and I dont. Shouldn’t it be first come first served. I don’t understand the transcript thing, but I did order it the other day. I was only able to order my account transcript not my return. Where do cycle numbers come from? Like I said I’m new to all this. I claimed EIC and AOC aswell.
-
I saw on the news that the irs computers are down today and that wmr is not working right now. Hoping that’s why I haven’t seen an update this morning.
filed 1/14 via tt
accepted 1/19
still bar on wmr w/ topic 152
was able to order trascripts
nothing recd in the mail from the irshave no clue what is going on but I can call the irs 21 days after I efile. so ill be calling them today. Ill post if I find anything new out.
:/
-
Filed and accepted 1/19. Bars went missing 2 days later. No bars for 2 weeks. Have topic 152 and no refund amount. No mailed letters. No clue what the delay is. I did file adoption credit and this may be affecting my refund timing. SMDH
-
I just tried to order transcripts just now 10:25 and system for transcripts says it is down again.
tt-sub 1-19
acc-1-19
1 bar wmr–not moved
ordered acct transcripts 21 jan
can’t order return transcripts
no ddd —-no sbrpg deposit yet -
Been watching this forum for about a week. From what I have been seeing it looks like everyone that filed with TT accepted the 19th are the ones having issues. Not really sure what’s going on but it’s getting frustrating. Could order account transcript, tried yesterday for refund trans but system was down. For the record filed with TT 1/15 accepted 1/19 at 630pm. As of today still one bar with no movement since 19th on WMR. No DDD, nothing. Been reading a lot but not sure what to believe also heard acceptance dates were wrong and actually 2 days after what it says on TT. Which would make the expected DD the 12th. Last year filed 2/2! Received DD 2/8! Seems us early filers got the S*** end of the deal here. Buddy of mine filed 2/1 this year with a 2/5 DDD! How is that possible! Fiance just lost her job, my job just cut hours, I’m a EMT, state employee, make junk money as it is and rents not gana pay itself. Luckly have enough saved to get us thru for a little while. But getting this return would definitely help. Good luck everyone. Hopefully we all see something soon!
-
Same crap, different day.
Filed 1/15, accepted 1/19, stuck on that one little bar like always. At least we aren’t alone in our misery I guess. If it was only me that was stuck I’d be far more concerned as opposed to just impatient and grumpy.
And to answer someone else, no I don’t have the AOC credit.
-
Called my bank this morning just to see… no pending deposits. Still one bar. Filed the 19th, accepted 10 minutes after filing. Tuesday I was able to order account transcripts with my old address, now I can’t order them at all. I give up.
-
It appears I’m in the same boat as everyone here. Here’s my stats:
Filed 1/18 with Turbo Tax, accepted the 19th. Have had one bar and TT 152 ever since. Nothing has changed. I can order account transcripts but not return. I have no offsets. I literally can’t even understand this. Yes, I’m well aware it’s not been 21 days. but judging by the “cycles” it doesn’t appear we will receive the refund in that 21 day time frame. Very frustrating, just as frustrating as reading negative comments on here. What’s the point? you don’t like what you read, there’s this nice little “X” in the top right corner of your screen. Push it. Problem solved. Just saying. Fingers crossed for good news soon my fellow 1/19 ers -
Can all of you who has not see any progress please tell me if you have the AOC or not?
-
Nothing has changed for me.. maybe I’ll at least have this baby today then I’ll only be waiting for one thing lol
-
So last year filed on 1/19 got my dd on 1/30/2015..
this year filed on 1/19 accepted about hour later
everything exactly same as last year except address change!
Still no DDD
still not able to order return transcripts!
called offset #, no monies owed~~
THIS IS SO STUPID!!! -
-
I filed 1/19 and still no DDD** one bar*** can order account trans… called to order return trans this am and they are having issues with their system and told me to try online or try to call later! man…. this is crazy lol I have been following everyone else on here… TODAY AND FINALLY DECIDED TO COMMENT! One thing I cant stand is for those who comment, in regards to those who are just curious on whats going on, have negative s*** to say! If you owe the IRS, THEY MOVE FAST… I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS ANYMORE. I NEED THEM TO RUN ME MY CHECK!!!! I HAVE PLANS AND I WANT THEM DONE ON THE DATE THEY HAVE PLANNED ONTHE DANG ddd… AND FORGET THAT 21 DAY WAIT…. RUN ME MY CHECK…. IM HUNGRY LOL ====GOOD LUCK TO THOSE WHO ARE WAITING ****JUST LIKE ME! SHEESH
-
SMH!!! I guess I was totally and off and no refund status again today, I was convinced with the system being down yesterday that we would all see updates today. This is pathetic, I swear next year I am claiming exempt and keep my federal. I will get my state before I get my federal, 12 days in total last year. What happens next week, this is dreadful. The government can make space stations, millions of dollars on war, funding unnecessary budgets but cannot get our $$$$ to us on time.
-
First time this am I could order account transcript not return. Never done it before any other year, guess I just thought I’d try this year, dunno if that means anything or not
-
I filed on 18th accepted on 19th. Bars disappeared Friday, January 30th, and have not come back since! No refund topic and giving the generic message of date will be provided when available. So annoyed people who just filed days ago have their refunds and still no progress for mines. Now the Irs is experiencing outages….but they are still approving returns today and yesterday bullshit!
-
Accepted 1/19
no change
No DDD
NOTHING
this is insane I can’t believe it’s been this long when everyone has gotten there’s so far. I’m curious to see if the people who posted yesterday got a DDD last night? -
I was accepted on the 19th, and yesterday got a ddd of 2/5.
-
Filed 1/15 with TT
Accepted 1/19
One bar.
No DD.
The informational Topic 152.
Mood: Grrrrrrr!Haven’t attempted to order transcripts or call anyone.. what’s the point :/
-
File on the 19th accepted the same day….. only one bar no progress
-
good morning fellow 10% er’s
What you going to do with you summer returns?
-
Good morning
Well it’s only 4:49am in Los Angeles Ca
I normally don’t like to post til after 7 or 8am…
But I checked WMR and my transcripts.1 Bar
TT 152
Can only order account transcripts under old addressI received the Thankyou email from TT yesterday meaning I’ve hit my 15 days now smh….
IRS won’t give me any answers guess I’ll try calling TT and see what they have to say
-
Filed 1/15 hrblock and accepted on 1/19 (Florida)
Bars have never come back since they went away a few days ago
-
IVE BEEN REALLY CALM BUT HOW THE FUCK SOMEBODY. WHO FILED 2/1 GET. A DDD THIS AM FOR 2/8 really pissed
-
This forum is flakey too! This forum was put up in the 21st. If u was accepted on the 19th. Why put a forum up so fast, u didn’t wait at all. Now there like 4 pages of comments. What a crock
-
@Jerry I say the same when the 1/19 filers start calling they are going to say the system was shut down, Therefore there is going to be delays.
-
This shhh make u wana go exempt all year round! I feel like I’ve been working 12 months straight, giving somebody a third of my check for nothing. Them bytches print money. They got more than enough to spread. It shouldn’t take this long. Ain’t enough fraud in the world to delay this long. They knew this time of year was coming, there’s no excuse why they don’t have enough ppl working on processes. This ain’t the first year for taxes those ppl should know what their doing by now
-
Mark my words. When all of us still have no refund on Tuesday, they will use this “shutdown” as an excuse to buy themselves a few more days. This is absolutely infuriating. I’m seeing people who filed 2/1 with DDDs. What the f*ck?
-
Filed the 19th
Accepted the 19th
Bar 1 never left
Topic 152
Still no dd -
I contacted TT through the contact tab in the top right hand corner of the screen. They said if you were accepted 01/19 you should receive your refund by the 9th. I don’t know how the IRS is going to pull that off with all these people still needing their refunds.
Filed: 01/18
Accepted: 01/19
Approved:00/00/000
DDD: 00/00/000Wmr: 1 bar, since forever
-
Filed thru TT, ACCEPTED 1-19-2016 no ddd still stuck on first bar in WMR. Are we getting a deposit tomorrow bc Tuesday would make 21 days?! Frustrated
-
Ant still stuck on one bar with no DDD? file and accepted 1/19
-
i was accepted 1/19 and received a DDD of 2/5 around 8 am today. WMR has worked fine for me and still does despite all the post ive read of it being down for everyone.
-
@Alyusha I called TaxAct earlier. They have no support. I’ll be filling with TurboTax next year as well. They seem to have better support. TaxAct has no customer service.
-
-
I just saw this on another thread, according to NBC the wheres my refund and other systems are all down. Maybe thats why we haven’t got a update? Heres the article:
-
God I wish TaxAct had the type of support TurboTax does.. I almost used TT this year too… But decided to stick with taxact since I always got my refund in less then 10 days. I guess it did not make a difference this year, but i will be going with TT next year.
-
The email they are referring to is an additional email, not the first thank you email. This one has a message that says if you haven’t received you refund, go to TT and track the refund.
-
@amanda– I called TT just now. The woman on the phone said that everything is green light, no issues whatsoever. The email that’s sent out to people, she said it was more likely generic because they don’t get the fees in advance before our refund. They get the fees the same time we get our refund. Poo.
Hopefully in the morning, we’ll wake up and BAM! it’ll be right there. God knows I could use it. I’m crossing every body part I can possibly cross at this point :)
-
-
-
@jenica I also got the same email earlier today. The lady I spoke with from TT did not say anything about it but I also forgot to ask. Fingers crossed that it means we get our money soon!!
-
I was accepted 1/19 and still have no DDD. I just spoke with TT and I’m in the green, there is no problems on my end. Now it’s up to IRS. Wish they could tell me more though.
-
I got the thank you email from turbotax tonight. I was wondering if I got that because they got their fees? If that’s the case, does that mean I’ll be seeing a refund soon or is that email just generic?
-
I’m 1/19 with one bar and topic 152.
Just called TT and I guess put down my wrong po box! Would that be grounds for a delay seeing that it’s different PO box than last years filings? -
@Aprilynn thanks! I appreciate it! We are in CO and rents are soooo outrageous so if the tax refund doesnt come in time to keep us in our current apt, we will have to move out of state! Just crazy here!! Here’s to hoping all of us get updates soon!! :)
-
@Talesa thank you
-
@brideofchaotica2
OMG so sorry to hear that… I definitely will b praying for you.
@Alyusha
No I can’t even check that so I’m living on a hop & prayer now!
@tredboe0974
Thanks so much for the info….. hopefully I’m n the next batch! -
@Aprilynn no problem! I am doing the same. We lost our only income last December and my husband did find another job, but won’t have a check in time to avoid eviction. The wait sucks!!!
-
@ Aprillynn, You have to look at your transcripts from last year to know what cycle you are on. I have been a cycle 05 for the past few years which means that I am on a weekly cycle. However; this year the IRS has taken the ability to view your account transcript online. The link provides information to the IRS posting cycle and dates according to your cycle number. I received an email from Turbo Tax not to long ago, I hope this means that we are getting a status update tomorrow. I know for myself I am a cycle number 05 and according to the information found on the link IRS will be posting today. I think this coincides with the fact that WMR and transcript lines are down, they are updating the system today for the 05 ‘ ers. Fingers crossed!!! Hope this makes sense.
Output Cycle Number – 201605
*Cutoff for Release of Transactions WEDNESDAY – 02/03/2016
**Posted Transaction Appears on IDRS MONDAY – 02/08/2016 -
@Aprilynn: I was hoping that you could get it from your transmission ID that you got when you efiled, but mine is 201601 lol and according that that chart… no good. =P
-
@Alyusha
Thank u. I don’t have prior year transcript and when I tried to order on this year they told me that my request cannot be completed and this was before the system went down -
@brideofchaotica2
Thank u so much…. I have no clue what cycle I’m n then cause I never ordered transcripts b4…. guess I’ll just keep praying for a ddd to pop up! -
@Aprilynn: You have to get the number from your transcripts.
-
@jumill87 got the same email from TT this evening. I was really hoping for DDD of Friday but not holding my breath! @Aprilynn codes are from return transcripts from previous years. I was in the 05 cycle the past 3 years and was 04 and 02 prior to that. I think a lot of people assume they are in the same cycle as the past few years. It’s hard to tell this year because you can’t see return transcripts online for this tax season anymore and have to order by mail but they are having ‘technical difficulties’
-
@tredbne0974
The link that u posted about codes or something how do I figure out what code I am? And exactly what does this whole link mean -
Can’t try to order transcripts..it says they are having technical difficulties..think it will be up tonight?
-
transcripts request & irs phone is down. …update is coming hopefully
-
I just got the e-mail from TT saying thank you for choosing turbo tax, if you have no received your refund yet please log into the tracker to see if we can help.
-
@tredbne0974 how do you find out what cycle you are on?
-
This seems like the most realistic explanation I have seen for the randomness. This was posted on another thread by another user.
@Amber I am also in Texas and H@R block also stated that to me as well I filed on 1/15 and was accepted 1/20 I called the tax advocate line to get a status of my return I was stuck on the processing bar and come to find out the dates of acceptance are wrong the IRS took the return but did not process them till two days after and most people who have not received dd from 1/19 and 1/22 and later have been resequenced and pushed back a week do to the master file is full instead of getting direct deposit on the 5 the we are now getting pushed to the next two batches witch would be the 12 th !or 19 th!Just FYI there are a lot of us who field 1/19 to 1/23 who are delayed a week and resequenced as I found out today please do not listen to H@R block when I told them I was resequenced they didn’t even know what that meant there apparently was two million filer’s on the 19 it overloaded some master file I am now pushed to the 19 instead of the 5th!!!
-
I filed 1/18 on TT and was accepted on 1/19, i was finally able to order my return transcript on monday and even though the IRS says it has no connection i think it seems to. i checked this morning and had a dd date of 2/5. anyone who hasnt got approved hang in there, it will happen very soon

Filed 1/19 with turbo tax. Still waiting for federal. First year that my state refund was issued before federal. Not sure if this is something on IRS side or my return.
-
Here’s my sob story:
Filed and Accepted 1/19 with Turbo Tax. Had one bar for a few days, then they disappeared and I got Tax Topic 152. I have been able to order my account transcripts but not return. Today I’ve gotten the error message all day on the order transcripts page. No offsets. Nothing in the mail yet, including my 2015 account transcript that I ordered.My big wonder is that I’ve heard people say they have Tax Topic 152 with a refund amount still showing, and some without a refund amount (My refund amount disappeared). I wonder if that means anything or if it’s simply related to how you’re processing?
I’m not up in arms, because regardless of how or when we file or how badly we want an update, they DO have 21 days. And technically, they have a lot longer…they just tell us to keep calm for 21 days. But this is taking much longer than years past.
-
@misssu2u 1- 800-624-9066…they’ll even call you back so you don’t stay on hold.
-
@Talesha
what number did you call to reach someone at TT. It seems that we are in the same situation and IRS is not giving out any info until 2/11/16Thank you
-
And you don’t look psycho…troll!
-
OMG PEOPLE, CALM DOWN!
There were MASSIVE budget cuts this year resulting in a lot less employees to process our returns. STOP comparing this year to past years, as it is completely different.
21 days is 21 days, STOP calling the IRS. You all look psycho.
-
Does anyone who filed with TaxAct know if there is such a wonderful help line we can call to get info?
-
Filed 1/19
Accepted 1/19
1 bar no updatesTalked with TT. Agent told me wmr has had issues. My return was accepted and expected DDD is 2/5. He said I’d have my money then.
-
@mkccann
I have never been lucky with a quick return but this year seems to be taking the longest. Hopefully, Saturday morning we will all update. Sooner would be great but not counting on it.
-
I just got that email aswell. I looked back on my emails from turbo tax last year and i got that same email the day before i got my deposit email. So there may be hope. As i said before wmr didnt update me when i got my dd.
-
Hello my name is Kimberly, I beaming following u all for about a week. I filed on the 20th accepted the same day. This has been the longest I have ever waited . My sister in law . Did her taxes on the 27th and got her DDD date for the 5th today. What is going on this year.
-
me again.
I saw the EIC notes, I was accepted 19th, i did NOT qualify for EIC, still no 2nd bar and no deposit.BUT two of my four dependent have different last names (fiancee and her daughter) and I’m expecting almost 9k. But no different than last few years, just taking at least a week longer so far
-
i just got the turbo tax thank you email, any connections to that and getting the refund soon after??? anyone?
filed TT 1-16 accepted 1-19 1 bar -
lol works for me. This is what I was gathering from reading the forums.
Regardless, something is f/d up. I thought it was just mine at first but it seems to be the majority that filed on 19th or earlier. This is the first year filing early, place of employment finally put w-2 online…now I regret it.

Filed: 1/18
Accepted: 1/19
Status: 1 bar still no updates, ordered my account transcripts yesterday afternoon, tried to order my return transcript this morning and gave me “A technical problem has occured. Try your request again later.” Maybe that means they’re in the process of updating the system? I have no clue :(. Really frustrated. I filed mine last year and got mine in exactly 21 days, I’m hoping I get a deposit this friday. Last year I got my 2nd bar on the day my money was deposited. -
@kmccann I am sorry but you are mistaken. My coworker filed the 18 was accepted the morning of the 19th and received her refund 7000+ today.
-
been reading up on this site
Seems that maybe people with EIC were delayed, but possibly being pushed through today.
Who knows..
-
I have a large refund however, my bfs is under 800 and we are on the same boat. I just think its because we filed early.
-
Yup, 19th accepted and large refund also in no man’s land. So maybe amount is a factor.
-
I submitted two refunds on turbo tax on the 19th that were accepted the 19th.
One for my son 300 dollar refund which is being DD on 2/5.
One for substantially more that is stuck in no man’s land so the amount does appear to factor in. -
@kmccann: you are right about being stuck in a loop. As for the ppl with small refunds getting a DD or not, I do not know. I have a large refund, but not many people have been sharing that info.
again
Filed 1/17
accepted 1/19
refund $7,000+No activity, none. Not good or bad.
-
Just curious how many people and how many computers does it require for a private sector company to operate when processing activity on self created forms? NOT TOO MANY They would be bankrupt
So IRS CREATES TAX CODE; CREATES TAX FORMS; Computer programs SHOULD be written to READ these & yet, AMERICANS wait on an ANTIQUE RELIC run by ANTIQUE RELICS to perform in a 20-30 day window….
-
Turbo tax has the percentage paid after the 2/3 direct deposit at 28% of the people that were accepted on the 19th in their system. That percentage will go up after the 2/5 DD. I was wondering how high that number will go after 2/5 DD and if it will be close to 90%. Everything I have seen/read indicates that the next scheduled DD after 2/5 is 2/12. My thought process is that if the percentage is not close to the 90% they promised they might add a midweek DD like they did this week. The 28% is directly from turbo tax but the rest is speculation on my part. Frustrated like everyone else.
-
Ok so this is what I have gathered from reading everyones post
People who filed 19th or before accepted 19th are stuck in a loop.
If someone filed on or before 19th and already got refund, they had small less then 1000 refunds.Anyone who has the big refunds are in a dark dark hole and it seems like we will never come out.
Do I have it pretty well down? If I am mistaken please advise.
-
If TurboTax filers are seeing such activity why are there not more posting w/ a happy dance?
Filed 1/19 Accepted 1/19 Head of Household (me) & 1 college student (Son) Education Credit and No healthcare for 6 months due to job loss. It’s not ROCKET SCIENCEOrdered Account Transcript and the site prompted me to fill out Form 4506 for Return Transcript
And people think GOVERNMENT can manage Healthcare How long have they been Processing Returns? With THEIR CODES & FORMS? Really?
-
Apparently people who filed early this year are just all messed up. Last year i filed on feb 23 and got accepted the same day. I got my return on march 11th. I recieved a email saying it would be deposited to my account in a day or two on march 11th lol. According to this years return schedule that time frame is the same. Wmr still had me on one bar. Im never filing early again. Hope we all just get a ddd on feb 5 for feb 5.
-
I just got off the phone with the IRS only because my bars have been missing for a whole week. Only to be informed their systems are down and they do not know when they will be up . She did advise me to call back before 7pm
-
Filed on 1/15 did my bfs the same day
We both got accepted 1/19
Ordered account transcripts 2/01. Still unable to get return transcripts. We both are still on one bar.
Kinda butthurt. Im on maternity leave and I need the cash.
Tried to get transcipts for return just now i think the irs transcripts site is down or something. Heres hoping for an update ??. -
I’ve never had WMR update before getting a deposit, so no it isn’t a stretch. One year it updated with my DDD the day it was deposited, after the fact. And yes, I checked it everyday.
I usually take WMR with a huge grain of salt but it would be nice to see an update this year seeing as how things are moving so slowly.
-
I’m getting the technical error message also when trying to order transcripts. Fingers crossed for update!
-
Same error message on transcript phone call and online is just a blank page
-
I’m trying to order my refund transcript and now receiving this message –
“Your request cannot be completed. Please contact us at 1-800-908-9946, our automated telephone self service, to order an account or a return transcript.”
-
IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING MESSAGE ERROR THAT STATES CANNOT ORDER TRANSCRIPTS SYSTEM IS EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
-
What will be interesting is when Turbo Tax updates the percentage paid (that were accepted on 19th) this Friday. That will let us know if we are a vocal minority that have not been processed or if the IRS is way behind its 90+ percentage to be paid in 21 days. I am disappointed but until we hit day 22 it appears there is no way to find out if anything is wrong. The hotline shut me down as soon as I said I filed on the 19th saying their system does not show anything until after 21 days which I find hard to believe.
-
@Alyusha In the past I’ve never got a DDD without WMR showing accurate information. This morning it finally updated for me as I expected it to for my DDD on 2/5.
I believe it’s a stretch to expect a DDD when WMR isn’t updated. If WMR is down altogether, then that is a different story. It’s working right now.
-
There is also reports that WMR is not working properly and I do not know the truth to this, but just incase, try calling the IRS Refund Hotline at 800-829-1954.
-
Good morning everyone,
I did not update on WMR like the majority of us. For those of you asking if WMR is an accurate thing to go off of… Even though the IRS says it is, I do not think it is. Many people have reported getting DDDs through their tax service, or just received a DD with no updates to WMR. Last year I received my DD with no update to WMR. So in my opinion.. WMR is awesome if you wake up and check it and you have 2 bars and DDD, but just because you do not, does not mean nothing has happened or is happening.
As far as transcripts go… YES if you are able to order both account and return transcripts, then that does indeed mean that they are done with your return and you should be expecting an update soon. BUT, this does not work the other way. Just because you can not order your return transcript, does not mean they have not finished your return. No matter how we interpret the IRS FAQ page about transcripts, there have been people who got DDDs and WMR updated whiling not being able to order return transcripts.
At this point, I am done speculating. I am so beyond pissed off with this year and do not want to set my self up for more failure. Sure I can always say there may be an update Saturday and blah blah blah.. But why keep saying “tomorrow”? What I do know is for those of us who were accepted on the 19th, the IRS has until Tuesday, February 9th.2016 to technically have our money in our banks, although I think most of us would be happy to know that they just processed our returns and plan to DD sometime in the near future. If they do not get it done by then, then they will have a ton of angry people calling. I would imagine they would like to avoid this, so I still have hopes we will see a update before 2/9/16. This is also why peoples TurboTax says expect a refund between 1/20/16 and 2/9/16 because that is your 21 days. In most cases it will be sent somewhere in that window.
Some good news dealing with transcripts… I have a new address this year, and as of last night, I was able to order my ACCOUNT transcripts with my OLD address, and not my return, and nothing with my new address. This would tell me, that the IRS has done nothing with my return because they not only will not let me order a return transcript, but they still have my old address. BUT, as of this morning, I can not order neither account or return transcripts with my old address, and I need to figure out the formatting they use for my new one to check. But I see this as progress anyways. For all I know they did process my return and the only way I will know is by figuring out if I can order my return transcript or not. I will be checking on this and will post an update once I figure it out.
Below is some links and numbers.
Order transcripts online (you can not view transcripts online this year)
https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof-tra/start.do;jsessionid=GHB9VwIG1vUs0NrpqqdOEWSZOrder Transcripts by phone – AUTOMATED (has a different set of questions and is easier to do if you are not sure of the format the IRS uses for your address)

Our Federal refund was accepted by the IRS on January 19, 2016. Still only one bar and we filed through Turbo tax to have it directly deposited on a netspend card. Has anyone who filed on the 19th gotten their federal refunds? I am very upset because other websites are claiming that I should have it on the 5th of February.
-
wanted to update everyone on my status. I called advocate line and was told my refund was not accepted and did not start processing until 1/21/16. I filed on 1/18/2016 and TaxAct stated I was accepted on 1/19/16 and to give it atl east 3 weeks from the 21st. She stated I was still being processed. I still have only one bar on WMR

Called the automated system to check transcript. System says they are experiencing technical difficulties. Please call back later.

You guys flipping out with no DDD and no money should settle down, it’ll come. You should feel what it’s like getting audited and getting your refund in June.

Filed through TT on 1/14, accepted 1/19 (Arizona)
Still only 1 bar on WMR, tax topic 152
Was able to order Account transcripts.Anyone know what the acronym SBBT is??? I keep seeing it on here but don’t know what it is.
Beyond frustrated.

I filed my return 1/19 using taxact
Accepted 1/19
Was able to order my account transcript, but not my return transcript.I’m afraid it’s last year all over again. Had to have a tax advocate and didn’t get my refund till June because of these random audits.
I did claim a school credit and read somewhere there’s a week delay for these credits for verification.

I filed 1/8 and accepted 1/19, still one bar no DDD, nothing. Filed at HRB. Had mine last year in 10 days.

FINALLY. I woke up this morning with 2 bars on WMR. I filed 1/18, accepted 1/19 on Turbo Tax. Just yesterday I had 1 bar and Topic 152 generic link.
Time to spend and put money in my savings! Whooo! Tip: Never account for your tax returns in your bills people. Budget properly and don’t be so dependent on it.
“Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by February 5, 2016.
If your refund is not credited to your account by February 10, 2016, check with your bank to see if it has been received.” -
Filed 1-18
Accepted – 1-19
Still no updates waiting on one bar.I called turbo tax, they said everything looked fine.
called the irs, she didn’t even try and look up my return. She said that no tax return is the same and that I just need to check the WMR, and wait the 21 days. I am in my alloted amount of time and to not call back until then, told me to have a nice day and hung up. -

Only 1 bar and cant pull return transcript
Called irs yesterday they said that my return had been pulled for a random review but that it was released from the review with no errors as of tuesday they said alot of people who filed early got pulled for review and that causes a 7 day delay in getting your return im hoping its correct because like a lot of us this money comes in handy this time of year -

Good Morning Everyone
Pennsylvania
Accepted 1/19
1 Bar with Generic 152 topic.I called the IRS this morning because my address has not been updated as of yet. I spoke with a woman and I asked her what is the standard procedure if I do not receive a status as of 2/9/16 when the 21 waiting period is over. Her response was, ” You just have to wait and you will be told that you just have to wait until it is processed.” I was astonished at this generic response. You must be kidding me, if they give me a generic message they that after 3 weeks. Last year I received my return in 12 days even with an offset.
-
I am in the same boat! I filed on 1/17 using TT and was accepted 1/19 still only have one bar! Last year my return was flagged for possible identity theft and I had to work with a tax advocate to get my return . I went on the website to order my transcripts and my return transcripts for this year were not available but prior years were but my account transcript for this year was available what does this mean?
-
Filed after 11AM on 1/19, accepted the same day. Still only 1 bar on WMR. Not able to order transcripts. I’ve filed through TT for the last 5 years, never any issues, always processed and received within 10 days. Received state return last week.
-
Those who were accepted on 1/19, I started a Straw Poll. If you wouldn’t mind voting for what you’re currently experiencing so that everyone else knows what things are looking like at this point.
-
Woke up to a second Bar!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was accepted 1/19 and approved today. DDD 2/5. Hope everyone else gets good news today…
-
Filed TT on 01/18 accepted on 01/19. Cant order return transcripts. My 21 days is up on Tuesday. Wth is going on? Called 800# says still processing. Wmr has generic tax topic still 1 bar. Ugh???? Could I still be deposited on 02/05 without wmr updating?
-
1/18 fILE 1/19 Accepted
WMR UPDATE TODAY!
Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by February 5, 2016.
If your refund is not credited to your account by February 10, 2016, check with your bank to see if it has been received.
-
I too received my tax return one year ago today, now I have no updates, 1 bar. Can only order transcripts with old address..If anyone calls today please give us an update..I tried calling but got the 21 day speech and now I have to go to work.. if I got my refund on Wednesday last year does that mean I am an 05?
-
Figured I’d drop this here FYI…
Filed on 1/15 and accepted on 1/19 via H&R Block.
No bars on WMR, no DDD, no anything. Just the generic “Your refund is being processed…blah blah…21 days” message.
H&R states refund date of 2/9 (21 days after accepted).
Just playing the waiting game like so many of you.
-
Just woke up to a second bar. I filed 1/17 and accepted 1/19. Got a DDD of 2/5.
-
I filed on 1/15 with TT, accepted on 1/19. WMR updated for me last Saturday with a DDD of today. I just checked and money is in my account. Strange thing though – no updates at all on the TT page. It still has me listed as “accepted”.
-
@MCRT88 I am having the exact experience you are and I am ready to go NUTS!! Keep me updated please if you hear anything and I will do the same.
-
@brideofchaotica2 last year i received my refund today, i had filed much later than the 19th too!! Idt ive ever had a Friday deposit!
-
@11chelseab1219 I go by the possibility of it being an 05 cycle for me based on return transcripts from the past 3 yrs, but it was different cycles before that. Its really impossible to tell if cycles changed again or not because those that can order return transcripts can only order via snail mail. Last year you could pull them up online. .
-
Has anyone filed through EPS financial? I am I Miami FL I filed on 1/22 accepted with in minutes.. Still no ddd… Last year I received it on 2/4 it was a Tuesday. I also remember only waiting like 10 days.. I don’t know what’s going on this year but I have also heard there are alot of false ddd and when people go to look for it the ddd is not there.
-
Filed 1/18 accepted 1/19 around noon. Had one bar until Friday now it’s gone and a message that says a refund date will be provided when available as appeared. The IRS is so full of it. It’s never taken this long and when you call you get different incompetent reps who tell you anything just to get off the phone. Beyond frustrated…
-
Okay so i have been trying to be patient but this is insane. I would be happy with any amount of progress!! Filed 1/18 accepted 1/19 got my state refund last week. Never before has my progress been stuck for so long!!! WMF shows one bar my social my filing status and tt 152 with a generic message about recieving my return within 21 days. Nothing has changed since the 19th! I can order my account transcript but still cant order my refund transcript I don’t have any pending deposit!! Im getting so frustrated i wasnt depending on my return but my husband has been off work for a week for health reasons and a hospitalization all of which was of course unplanned so i NEED my tax return! Id be happy if there was any type of progress but it just seems stuck!!
How can i tell what cycle i am? -
Did anyone who filed with TT on the 19th get a DDD for Friday?? I filed with TT and no update, but those who put who they filed though and got a DDD for Friday seem to mainly from H&R Block, Tax Act, and Liberty Tax….
-
Wtf. Filed 1/19 and accepted 1/19. State went through more than a week ago. No progress. Just the same generic 21 day message with topic 152 attached.
-
Glad to see I am not alone! Filed 1/18, accepted 1/19- Totally expected to wake up to a DDD but no update to WMR (05 weekly cycle previous years) This year seems out of the norm to me. Even with previous delays, I have never had to wait the full 21 days but since I am weekly and it didnt update this morning, it would mean no update til next wednesday if WMR is working correctly! Seriously hoping WMR is not working but return transcript is also unavailable.
-
THATS IT!!! I AM GOING TO LOSE MY F***** SH**!!!! I AM SO BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS YEAR!! HOW IS IT THAT WE STILL DON’T HAVE A DDD?! IF WE DO NOT GET OUR FUNDS ON 2/5, THEN IT IS GOING TO BE AFTER OUR 21 DAYS BEFORE WE DO?!
THERE HAS TO BE AN ERROR OR SOMETHING WRONG WITH OURS FOR IT TO BE TAKING THIS LONG?! AT THIS POINT IT IS ALMOST RIDICULOUS IF THERE ISNT?.. BUT I ALREADY GOT MY STATE REFUND BACK? I HAVE NEVER BEEN REVEIWED, NEVER HAD A STOLEN ID, NEVER BEEN FLAGGED, NEVER ANYTHING? I DONT KNOW HOW THIS IS HAPPENING?……
SOOOO… WHAT? WEDNESDAY?.. MAYBE WE’RE ALL WEEKLY FILERS THAT GOT SKIPPED LAST WEEK? THEY’LL PROCESS US THURSDAY? I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.. EVERY YEAR I AM ALWAYS PROCESSED WITH THE FIRST BATCH, RECEIVE A WMR UPDATE ON THE 2ND WEDNESDAY, AND THEN A DDD FOR THAT FRIDAY…
BOTH ME AND MY FIANCEE:
FILED 1/19
ACCEPTED 1/19
USED TT
EVERYYTHING THE EXACT SAME AS LAST YEAR EXCEPT SHE HAD A NEW JOB
H.O.H., CH.TAX CREDIT, CH.CARE CREDIT
BOTH HAVE RECEIVED STATE REFUNDS ALREADY
1 BAR ON WMR
CAN ORDER ACCNT BUT NOT RETURN
NO DDD -
Well, at least I know I’m not the only one who didn’t get approved today. I was really hoping to wake up to a DDD! It’s good to see that some people got a DDD of 2/5. Hopefully that means that the rest of us are moving in the right direction. According to my refund tracker on TT, 28% of people who filed through them and were accepted on Jan 19th have already received their deposits, so there is hope for the rest of us yet! In the 8 years I have been filing my own taxes I have NEVER had to wait this long for a deposit.
-
F****k the IRS. you ve been collecting our money all year long for every single hours we are working with no delays and that for million sof workers. Now it is this time to give us our refund! fuck it
-
Filed – 1/19 via Turbo Tax
Accepted -1/19
1 Bar on WMR
No DDD…..Couple of questions:
1) How accurate is WMR?
2) How do I know if I’m a weekly or daily account? -
still only one bar, accepted the 19th. the suspense is killing me. If it were a normal return i would worry and just wait, but since my return is nearly 5 figures, i get a little worried like they’re going to want to argue with me about it
-
How often do they send DD’s? I was under the impression is was once a week on Friday but it seems some got one today and other’s will on Friday.
-
Filed 1/19 with TT

No movement for me
Still one bar
Still can only order account transcript through old addressTT says between 1/20 and 2/9 smh
-
For TT filers!
TT gives different estimated DDD for all of that filed 1/19?I’m seeing that TT gave some 1/19 an estimated DDD of 2/5
And others like myself have got one for 2/92/5 is a Friday and 2/9 is a Tuesday
Just to figure out how they figured dates
I’m just hoping it’s accurate -
I’ve been trying not to comment but I’m so frustrated at this point.
Filed 1/19 thru tt, Accepted same day
Still at one bar. No DDD. No transcriptsVA state return has been processed and put into THEIR pockets since the 23rd.
I filed thru tt last year and was approved and the money was deposited into my account before i even received the netspend card 7 days later, my return was over $1000 more last year. So what gives?! I have friends who filed on the 23rd or later with DDs for tomorrow & i cant even get an update?! :/ I’m literally 2 days shy of 40 wks pregnant and could definitely use this money. The only good thing of this is i’m sick of being pregnant and this may send me into labor haha
-
@Brittbella87
I feel your pain. I was mad asf when I found out my husband filed two days after me using the same method (TT) and got a DDD as soon as he filed. Maybe it’s a thing with certain TT users? I have no idea. -
filed and accepted 1/19. Finally have two bars today. DD expected on or before 2/5

-
@TC
I guess that’s what I get for using TT in the good old state of NC. I know last year I filed on 1/20 and got my refund back 2/6 without even using the tracker. I’m assuming that there is some type of order that IRS is following, since they’re trying to cut back on fraud and other things. What kills me is my husband got a DDD before me and he filed on 1/21. I’m so confused right now it’s not even funny ? -

Update……STILL NOTHING.
One bar, no return transcript…..nothing. I’m never ever filing early again! My fiance filed last week and already has a DDD! Ridiculous! I filed the 19th and was accepted the 19th!!
I feel like we’re all in a bubble that they haven’t even begun to look at.

Hi all, I have been reading the posts for a week now.
Accepted on 1/19/2016,
One bar on WMR, still no change.
Ordered account transcript, 2/2/16
Unable to order return transcript.
TT 152.So I want to ask “what now”? Us accepted on the 19th will not get an update until our 21 days are up? Is there still hope that we will get a DDD before the 8th?
A bit worried, last time it didn’t update I have to pay A LOT, just wish they would let you know before the 21 days is there is an issue or not.
Thanks.
-
I filed using TT on 1/15.
Accepted on 1/19.
Still one bar on WMR as of 730 am est.
My TT account has said it was deposited since 1/15. I think it’s just a generic message. -
got a ddd for 2/5

@Ty’Eira Marie …….exact same for me so you are not alone.
-
Okay, I must be the only one here who still has one bar and cannot order the return transcripts…
I was able to order account transcripts yesterday (2/2).
Still. No. DDD.
I’m seriously a hair’s length away from flipping out, and reading all this week’s DDD’s are pushing me to the edge. Something tells me I should have waited later than 1/19 to file, at least I would have been processed sooner -
Still only one bar. PISSED.
-
Filed through H&R Block 1/19/16
Accepted 1/21/16
Was able to order account and return transcripts 2/1/16
(Maybe earlier, but i only checked on that day)
Woke up to a DDD of 2/5/16H&R block is having no issues, it’s just a matter of waiting. Stay hopeful everyone, the IRS is doing something.
I believe that if you are able to request your return transcripts, you are set for that week’s deposit.
Good luck!

6:40 am, nothing. Filed 1/18 accepted 1/19…getting a little pissy with this,I thought for sure today would be the day! Come Tuesday I think they’re gonna be getting some very angry phone calls, there’s just no rhyme or reason to this….ugh!

Hopeless and sad I will be calling them on the 9th for sure. Right now I’m disliking the IRS feels like crying ;(

Approved 2/3
DDD 2/5 -
We have been going nuts waiting filed 1/19, accepted 1/19. Sat at one bar until today!!! Says approved, but no DDD date. So I looked at our credit union to see if MA state was deposited since it is supposed to go in this week(Not there, surprise surprise, MA is slow…), but our IRS deposit is in pending for Friday 2/5, FINALLY!!!!! HUGE sigh of relief. So hang inthere everyone, it’s GOING to happen!
TT did say 2/5, and they were dead on. MA is an idiot state, so I’m sure they will take forever as always.
-
Am I the only one still on 1 bar, can’t order return transcripts, and no ddd on sbbt???? Just saying.. I filed 01/18 accepted 01/19, with TT, been waiting and reading hoping I would see a change this morning. Wow

LOL Transcripts most certainly seem to have made a difference for me. They may not tell you much when looking at them, but it DOES tell you that they’ve finished working on your return when you can get your return trans…
Just got off the phone, and I have a pending deposit in my BB&T checking account for the full amount of my refund. Scheduled to drop on Friday.
Filed through H&R on 1/7
Accepted 1/19
Able to order Account transcript from the start, but have not been able to order the return transcript until yesterday morning(2/2).
No movement on my bars. Still 1 bar, Tax topic 152.
Suddenly have that pending deposit for 2/5.I’m a happy woman. See you all next year – good luck; hope the rest of you see movement today as well!
-
At this point ill be happy just to see anybody get an update lol
-
It says on the irs website that the return transcripts have no bearing on the progress of the returns processing
-
filed 1/17 accepted 1/19…I got on turbo tax a fea mins ago and unless I’ve not looked further before today and missed it, I noticed where i can track my refund further and it said it was deposited into my bank account,but it’s not in bank and I’m still only at 1 bar and only account transcripts. ..can anyone else see there’s was deposited too but it’s not actually deposited?? I think turbo tax is confused lol
-
turbo tax says only 28% of ppl that were accepted on 1/19 have gotten there refunds so there’s still a greater percent that have not,so we’re not alone..
-
Last year I got my deposit weeks before WMR ever updated. What do you seriously expect? It’s the US Government… Worthless. At this point I’m just going to read here daily and check WMR on Friday nights. I think it’s pointless to check every single night at this point sadly. I need the money just as bad as the next guy, but I think it’s time to sit and wait. If 21 days comes and goes with no money or updates I’ll be calling the IRS.
For the record:

@kirk you can check FAQ’s page on IRS website and this question is answered. Transcripts have nothing to do on the status of your return. Your information is not correct.
-
@Kirk: I honestly do not know either way. I know that is what it means if the return transcripts are done. There are tons of reports of WMR and transcripts not updating before people received deposits or DDD’s. So either that is not the case, or there are a ton of trolls out there.
-
same here i was really hoping for it before today due to the nice winter storm we got today by me but nope , my van needs some work and these conditions make it a little harder lol
-
@mommy02071112 Similar situation for me! I received mine on 1/28/15 (wednesday). The only reason I knew was because I was checking my bank account to see how broke I was, and BAM! I checked WMr right after and it still said 1 bar. Later that day or the next, I got an email from TaxAct saying it was approved and DDD for that Friday. I then checked WMR and had 3 bars.
-
For those of you that think transcripts mean nothing, keep telling yourself that. Seriously. When the return transcript is ready, your return has been through the process 100%, with the exception of the funds being deposited.
There are even YouTube videos out there confirming this.
No return transcript ready = not finished processing.
-
@JHudBuffNy: That is good news! I am glad to see people getting info that things are happening without WMR updating. It is just proving that we can not count on what everyone thinks we can when it comes to the IRS, as bad as that sounds. lol
-
@Applered1: Ahh I get ya now. Glad you got yours. Hope the rest of us do also!
@Kevin E: Well, I would not worry too much since it still says TT 152. If there was a problem, I think it would have a different tax topic.@Hailey2016: I hear ya. I feel the same. We could call a hundred times, and may get lucky, but most likely just end up pissed off because we got the “I cant open it until 21 days” BS 100 times. But, look at it this way… If we do not get it this week, then we can call on Tuesday, and they have to tell us what is going on. I have good reason to believe that us 19ers were held up a week and this week will be ours. But I could be wrong.

so i looked at last year and my wmr did not update until the day it was deposited into my account witch was feb 4th with a ddd of feb 5th {p.s. this was my ddd after i got my deposit on the 4th } so i have my fingers crossed that at 5 am i will have my refund in my bank because just about every one else with updates has there ddd already and for the last 5 yrs i have received mine on a wed
-
I Filled through HRB office on 1/15 and was accepted very early morning 1/19. Since then nothing has updated for me but I’m hoping for the 2/3 or 2/5 date. When I called my HRB card, it says my federal return was complete and the IRS was preparing my refund even though WMR does not show that. My NYS return wasn’t accepted until 1/29 (NYS wasn’t accepting at the same time as federal) and received an email today notifying me that NYS return was complete and my refund check would be mailed 2/15 ( I did direct deposit for my federal)
-
@alyusha
That could be why with all the extra added security… That’s why I was trying to call cause I’d rather know now if it’s anything I need to verify rather than wait til the 9th
Ugggh just thinking about it is pissing me off -
I need to vent for 2 seconds….
I’m so damn frustrated and pissed off and I keep trying to think positive but I can’t fake it anymore… I’m mad as hell! I’ve filed taxes every year for the past 5yrs and these MF’s took my money within a week every damn time… My debt is now paid off as of January 2015?
The first time in 5yrs I finally get my refund to myself and these fucks want to take they’re sweet time. Unbeleivable?
They waste no time when approving your refund when they get to keep it?
I’m done my apologies I will never rant like this again -
so i have been stalking the feeds for about a week now , decided to say something… i filed 1/19 and haven’t had to updates nothing yes its driving me a little nuts but……just hoping for better news tomorrow …. every day lol
-
@Alyusha that doesn’t show either on the left just my last 4 digits, my relationship status, and at the bottom tax topic 152 . no amount even shows. I’m so confused I’ve tried on different browsers.
-
Hey, my status bars have been gone for a solid wk now, I called tt and IRS, IRS said it’s not been 21 days yet and tt said everything looks fine. My amount is gone too, I am patiently waiting, idt this has happened before, but I am praying for an update on the morn!
-
@Aly. ……I filed with taxx enterprise….my refund was sent to their bank..and then the bank send them a check after they cut fees out..I had to pick my check up
….I hope this makes sense…….Everytime I file taxes I never get information on wmr..only a tax topic 152..some of y’all may not get an update just like me…..the will probably just send your money.
-
@mommy2016
You where able to order both transcripts this morning? -
@smith
I wish I was able to answer your question with some positivity…. But they way the IRS is set up this year it’s best we not even get our hopes up for an update… Its very unpredictable this year. If I see an update tomorrow morning I might piss my pants? -
@Hailey2016: I wonder if it has anything to do with us all having an old address? I mean I know what people claim about transcripts and all, but i am hoping it does not make a difference!
-
@Smith: I am in the same boat as you. I am hoping for an update tonight (or by tomorrow morning anyways) with a DDD of Friday. Many others think the same.
I am not going by transcripts, even though it looks even more promising if you can order both transcripts, many people have reported that they got a DDD without being able to order transcripts and many claim (including the IRS on hearsay) that it does not indicate anything.
-
@worried2015
Sucks to be us right now lol
As of 2min ago I too can only order account transcript under old address… Nothing has updated for me btw it’s 7:57pm where I am (Cali) -
@Kevin E: Do you even see that where the bars should be? Should see a segmented pencil looking image that would have a solid orange color for completed or blue and orange stripes for not completed. They are labeled Refund Received, Refund Approved and Refund Sent ( or similar)
If not, maybe your browser is not compatible. If so, did you did indeed get accepted? If so, some peoples “bars” were vanishing while WMR was updating, so this could mean good news for you.
If it still says your refund amount to the left, the last 4 of your SSN and Tax Topic 152 at the bottom, I would not worry about it. If you get another tax topic, I would look into what it was ASAP though.
-
Stfu bob. Mr bad ass bob. What a dickhead name it suits you well.
Anyways, back to my question.
Filed 1/19 accepted same day.
1 bar and tax topic 152
Able to older account but not return transcript.Should I be looking for a update tonight or Friday?
-
@aluysha mine looks exactly like that, but the thing is I never had bars to disappear. Not even 1.
-
@Kevin E: You *should* see at least 1 orange bar. Does it show your refund amount to the left? and does it says Tax Topic 152 near the bottom? If not, does it have a Tax Topic #?
Some people are reporting their bars disappearing and this could mean various things.Here is how mine looks, and yours should be similar, or better.
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
-
I filled the 19th of January , and got accepted the same day. My wheres my refund is not showing any bars just that my refund is still being processed, and a refund date will be soon available. I NEVER had bars. Should I be worried? If it matters I only could order Account Transcripts been able to do that since this past Saturday. Is it a chance I could get a DD with that message?
-
You people that call the IRS (and repeatedly) before the 21 day time frame, and check WMR all day, are fucking pathetic. You’ll get your money.
Yea, it’s taking longer than last year as they had massive budget cuts that resulted in a hell of a lot less employees to process MILLIONS of returns.
Take a fucking break and go do something productive. If it hasn’t been 21 days since you were accepted (starting on the 19th) stop fucking calling them!!!
-
@Worried2015: I can only get account from 2015 for old address also. BUT, this is further then I could get yesterday. I have also been reading that you dont have to be able to order both transcripts in order to get a DDD. So I guess we will see.
-
still can only get account transcripts with old address- so frustrated!
-
anyone get transcripts updates? I can still only order account transcripts with my old address :(
-
@Dee B: Great! That’s gotta be about the best and most thorough info I have heard all day! Thanks for letting us know. I hope that means the same for the rest of us!
-
I filed with Turbo tax 1/18 accepted 1/19
Today I was able to order both transcripts
I had a small offset so I called the offset line. It let me know that my tax refund was offset for the amount and that the remainder will be deposited on Feb 5 so I’m guessing that tonight WMR will update. -
@LCou: lol you could try calling the refund hotline @ 800-829-1954. Been wondering if it locks us out of that also.. I did not think of trying last time I was locked out, and do not want to get locked out on purpose just to check.
-
Well,
I’ve checked WMF so many times the past two days that I’ve been locked out. lol I’m not freaking out yet, but I do count on that money and until it’s in my bank account, I’m very nervous. It seems the IRS is taking an additional week to process returns this year.Anyways, I hoping we get updates tonigh.
-
I lost too, did she get her refund?
-
@AppleRed1: What do you mean “2/2/2016 – Refund Check Became available”
Am I missing something here?
-
Update:
Filed 1/18/2016
Accepted 1/19/2016
Order return transcript 2/1/2016Had no bars, nothing was pulling up on wmr except Tax Topic 152.
NO DD
NO DDD2/2/2016 – Refund Check Became available
-
Just as an update, I was able to request an account transcript with my old address as of a few minutes ago. Maybe we’ll all see an update tomorrow morning. Crossing my fingers as I’m going on a trip this weekend and the extra cash would be great.
-
@Hailey2016
Same boat as you. I can order my account transcripts only through my old address but nothing with me new address. My state has gone through with an offset and is being sent by mail instead of my initial direct deposit method…
I really hope we recurve our DDD tonight!! -
So glad I’m not the only one dealing with a slow return… Now when/if all of you where accepted 1/19 suddenly got DDD’s and not myself then I know that is truly cause for concern… I am worried but not as much as I would be if I didn’t know others where going through the same thing…
I called several times to no avail?BTW
filed and accepted 1/19…
Can only order account transcripts under old address…
Still stuck on one bar…
Estimated return according to TT between 1/20 and 2/9…
Filed with a new address different from W-2…
Same job, dependents ect. since 2014…State refund isn’t accessible for me online but I did call (california) and was told it’s been received and being processed and they also verified my information using my new address supposedly it’s all good on that end…
-
Please stop getting these people worked up with fake articles. If you have a DDD of 2/3/16, go to http://www.sbtpg.com and click on TAX PLAYERS and then look at THAT info. Mine was sent to my bank this morning and my bank told me at midnight I will have my refund.
Just wait a day. If you keep worrying them people and checking it every ten minutes, it may lock it and make you look suspicious.
-
@tswan20 I also claimed that credit. Thanks for sharing. I filed 1/18 accepted 1/19 Been on one bar ever since on WMR.
-
How do you know your cycle number. I ordered return transcript this morning. Anyone know if that really matters?
-
Do you guys know, if you get red flagged does the refund still get sent or do they hold the refund?
-
@BING @Alyusha Thank you! you guys give me hope. I’ve been worried something is wrong with my return. The only thing i did different was claim my ex bf for 8 months instead of 12 months because we broke up but the last 5 years I have been claiming him and our kids for 12 months. I hope everyone gets an update soon.* fingers crossed *
-
Most people who filed 1/19 haven’t gotten their refund because I believe the IRS intentionally is scrutinizing this year for early filers. You will get it in 21 days, but not much before.
New Tax Fraud Safeguards May Mean Delays in Getting Refunds (Jan 25, 2016)
“Everyone’s focus now is on getting it right, rather than getting the refund out the door in a hurry,” said Verenda Smith, deputy director of the Federation of Tax Administrators. -
I was also accepted 1/19, still nothing just accepted. I called the IRS today and they can give NO info until the 21 days have passed. The company I used to file said that it is 21 business days, not 21 calendar days. This is taking FOREVER!
-
I was accepted on 1/19 as well. I used TT as i always do and i have been stuck on processing as well. I dont know how to tell what cycle i am or any of the other stuff but its very worrisome.
-
I firmly believe that because of fraud and whatever the IRS is doing to prevent it is the cause of the delay here. It is even stated by the IRS here.
and based upon this IRS calendar, the IRS did not even begin processing returns until 1/25, no matter how early anyone filed.
https://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/34760002.html
This is based on facts, and not opinions.
I file on opening day ever year, and have always gotten my return back in less than 10 days. IT was 8 days last year. So based upon this, if the IRS had a 1 week delay (which would make sense) then my return this year would be refunded this week. Which almost has to happen, because me, among millions of other people who filed on 1/19 and before will be hitting 21 days next week and I can only imagine that receiving hundreds of thousands of calls per day from people asking about the status of their returns (and now they have to, or in their words “can” look into it) will cause a ton of added stress and work for them.
So to put it lightly.. If I were the IRS, I would be trying to make damn sure all the people who were accepted on 1/19 and earlier were processed by 2/5/2016.
All in all, it sucks that there is a delay, it has me worried, i am stressing, annoyed and pissed… But the week long delay does add up. Hope this helps calm some nerves, it has made me feel a lil better.
-
AUDITS- For the people who are worried it’s taking so long because gheir being audited, DONT WORRY!!! LOL
Audits are done over the summer months. My tax guy worked for the IRS for 37 years and is rock solid positive about that. Human eyes don’t look at e-filed returns unless their being reviewed for red flags or possible identity theft.
Don’t start worrying until the 21 days is up. It really sucks because there’s nothing you can do until then. I’m in the same boat…..
Accepted in 1/19
Still one bar
No update. Supposed DD BY 2/9 (21at day) -
filed 1/19 through CPA
accepted 1/20
ordered account transcript 1/29
ordered return transcript 2/2 7:12 am ( Ohio )
1 bar , Topic 152
Positive vibes that we all get DDD soon :) -
@ACCEPTED1919 Not true. That is the basic message. It means everything is fine, although also means nothing has happened. lol
-
So those of us who are going to school to better our lives and get this credit have to wait the longest? It’s like we’re being penalized for bettering ourselves. I’m in nursing school, so I work one day a week…for those who say budget better, I budget just fine working my sad one day a week, while juggling full time nursing school, kids, an upcoming wedding. All of the above are reasons my return is like my nice yearly bonus.
Sorry end rant. Hopefully tomorrow y’all, it’s getting a tad ridiculous now but I have hope every morning I’m gonna see that second bar! -
Filed 1/16 and accepted 1/19. Still only one bar tax topic 152 with no return transcript or account transcript. Very frustrating, also starting to get worried about being audited, this is no fun.
-
@accepted1919 THAT IS NOT TRUE
-
Looking at the posts and threads and looks like alot of us that are still waiting are 05’ers on the cycle chart. I don’t understand what the delay is last year and even when they took some of my refund back in 2013 I had my return back in 12 days. This is absolutely insane, please post or keep everyone informed if you are a 05’er and see an update on WMR tool.
-
I too had that, I don’t understand the verification part? I looked and my cycle was 2015060 I don’t know when that would be either I know last year I filed today, and received my taxes by the 13th, 11 days! So we should see something Jeeze
-
Please help!!!!
Pennsylvania
Filed TT
Accepted 1/19
1 bar and cannot order return transcript
I am a cycle number 05 for past years
DOES ANYONE know when cycle 05 weekly should be getting an update or WMR???
We will be hitting 21 days as of next week! It has NEVER taken this long. -
Thanks for the update @tswan20 I have the American Opportunity Credit this year. Still can’t order return transcripts though. Im usually in the 05 cycle
-
-
Filed 1/18/ Accepted 1/19. 1 bar, No money, No ddd, only able to get acc. transcripts.
Absolutely ridiculous! It’s a 1040 EZ for F&*k Sakes! -
I filed with Tax Act on opening day Jan 19th. couple mins later i got notice that the IRS accepted my return. I’ve been stuck on 1 bar for the past two weeks. I would like to know is everyone who is stuck on 1 bar has the same generic message? mine said:
“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 Informationi read in the past that this means you are up for review is that true? or Identity theft? I’m just sad. Never had to wait this long for my return. I hopeful that nothing is wrong with my return. =(
I called the hotline and spoke with some lady who just told me I had to call back on the 9th because it has not been 21 days yet.
-
Still no update for me. I check my cycle from last year and it is 20150502. I filed 1/19 accepted 11pm on 1/19. Can’t order transcripts for the return. So frustrated!!!
-
Return filed 1/19. Accepted ~10 minutes later. Processing ever since. No DDD. Unable to request account or return transcripts.
-
Filed 1/18
accepted 1/19
tax topic 152
never lost bars, tt never changed
ordered account trans last week but still unable to order return trans.
is it possible to get a ddd without the ability to order return trans? -
I file 01/18 and got accepted same day…still in 1 bar as of today 02/02 in WMR….
-
Still can’t order return transcripts, but hoping for a WMR update tomorrow! Fingers crossed!! Last 2 yrs I was in the ’05’ cycle so hoping cycle is the same this year. Ive owed taxes from previous years more than once (with job changes hard to keep track of ALL w2’s lol) but its never delayed my refund. Filed 2nd wk Jan last yr, I believe, and THAT was a long wait!! Almost a full month wait! ugh That is why I waited til the 18th this year, accepted the 19th.
-
Where do I get my cycle number from?
-
@Sue I have the same question…..how do we know what cycle we are?
-
Where do you find your cycle number. Ordered return transcripts this morning. Good news maybe?
-
@clark. You are a weekly. Expect some movement by the end of the week
-
Filed 1/15, accepted 1/19. Still one bar.
I’ve never filed this early and I’ve never gotten my return this late. I know that hardly matters but it’s still discouraging.
HRBlock has had a predicted DDD of 2/9/15 for a week now. Despite wanting to believe they were wrong I think the date might be spot on. Hopefully anyway. I don’t particularly understand ordering transcripts so I haven’t bothered.
-
Still nothing as of this morning. Still one bar…I’m never filing early again. I thought filing early would make it quicker. Boy was I wrong…..I’ve never ever waited this long for my refund!
Nothing has changed on my return fromantic last year, same job, child, address.
I do however have 2 offsets from 2011? I don’t know why they wouldn’t of taken them out in the previous years? But it’s only 200 of my return.
This is just plain ridiculous this year.
-
I SUBMITTED AND WAS ACCEPTED 1/19. MY MY LAST YEAR CYCLE WAS 20150405. I AM ABLE TO ORDER ACCOUNT TRANSCRIPTS, BUT NOT RETURN. WHAT DOES MY REFUND NUMBER MEAN? PLEASE HELP, ANYONE !!
-
Still no DDD yet, but being able to order the return trans as of this morning makes me hopeful. I’m still at one bar and topic 152.
I’m thinking I’ll get my refund by Friday. -
Seriously disappointed with result this year, doubt I will do business with this agency ever again.
-
FINALLY able to order a return transcript. WMR is down, but this is the only movement I’ve seen since the 19th. Hoping today is the day for a DDD!
-
Hey guys I seen this on another forum on here made since to me and explains a lot!
Sara Wyrick
We are the original TAX FAMILY!!Good Morning!!!! I am going to explain somethings here so everyone please read this very carefully!!
1. Transcripts will begin back processing this evening into tomorrow morning fro the daily returns.. this is cycle 02… around 6am we will start seeing people with access to both transcripts… this is a good thing.. meaning your return is finsihed processing.,,, Wednesday morning, WMR will update for a deposit day of 2/5!!! If you are a 02 cycle (daily cycle) and lost bars etc, last week,,, this is your chance to resquence and process….. if the batch is not full they may process other post hold returns.
2. Post hold returns are returns that posted but did not process yet… example… you can order account transcripts but no return transcripts… you are considered in a post hold which is also called system idle. what does this mean? This means that your return was indeed posted but has not been worked and is now sitting there waiting for your next cycle process to repost and process….Thes reason you lose your bars, tax topic, 21 day message, etc…. is because you are sitting in the post hold (idle) waiting for your next cycle… Now… today is an elongated day… meaning a day for long processing due to the deferred day Friday which is a non posting day for daily retuns and yes they have to post as many as these returns as they system allows…. so some of these returns will begin to process tonight into tomorrow morning… the system will shut down between 330 and 6am to download the return transcripts etc, so after 6am we will start seeing this updates.
3.Address Issues: Now if you can order your account transcripts with your old address then this means your return is posted but has not been worked… the new address will not update until your return has been processed and indeed posted… this is when you will be able to access transcripts with your new address and your return will be finished processing. It will only change when your return transcript has been processed and updated.
4. Resequencing: This is due to the returns posting but not being able to process… reasons for resequencing… early filing, full cycle which causes post hold, error on return, etc…. each return that is resequenced goes to the next date for that cycle to process and waits for its turn… now returns can be resequenced over and over due to amount of returns already being processed.. They do have a daily processing limit.
5. Weekly returns post on Thursday for processing on Friday… Wmr on Saturday for ddd of Wednesday… Weekly returns will not process until Friday….
6. Daily vs Weekly… Cycles 01 02 03 04 are daily cycles. 05 is the only weekly cycle!
7. The word cycle has 2 different meanings when it comes to the IRS manual. Cycle is used for days and weeks… so example 20150304 the 03 is your weekly cycle number to where 04 is your daily cycle and so on….
Now I know this is alot to read and concept….. and I know I have left tons of things out but this is were we are gonna start today -
Filed 1/19, accepted on same day.
Bar moved to approved on 1/28.
DDD of 2/3. -
Still at 1 bar. Through wmr. Filed 1/18 accepted 1/19. Filed using tt checked refund. I did select that we had insurance no issue there as others posted.
My R.I state income tax is processed and approved. Will get ddd end of this week.
State is usually way behind federal !!!! Irs is slacking !!!
I feal a lot of your pain. I just moved to Maine. Basically used everything I had to get here now car is totaled I’m getting ride into work and this money will be a life saver. At the same time taking the waiting as a lesson to bank what’s left and never allow myself to be in this situation again. The end is almost near everyone ! Keep the faith
-
I filled 1/15. Accepted 1/19 WMR still one bar and can not order return transcripts. I have never filed early and never had this problem. Usually fine and get my taxes in a week.
-
@Alyusha still not getting my return transcript. We’ll see what happens in the morning.
-
I file 18th, accepted 19th. Ordered account transcripts on 30th, no return yet.
Those of you who are able to order return transcripts now, are you using a new address, if moved, and are you calling in or using the IRS website, cause I still can’t order account transcripts on website, even with old address. -
BOOOM FINALLY ABLE TO ORDER A RETURN TRANSCRIPT A FEW MIN AGO!
-
Wmr never goes down for me, even during the allotted time frame. Is that wiered?
-
Ordered my tax transcript on 1/26/16, however my return transcript was not available to order until today. I filed thru TT on 1/19 and was accepted on 1/19, hopefully Friday I’ll have a DDD. Also account transcript I received was all 0 zeros??? l…hmmm not sure what that means, but I am patiently waiting.
-
@ Andre Black everyone is saying it is down along with the transcript site / phone number. hoping it means something good.
I also read that another person who was accepted 1/19 was able to get her return transcripts just now.
-
I filed 1/18
Accepted 1/19
2nd bar updated 1/30 with ddd of 2/3
-
Is WMR down for anyone else? I just tried the site and app. App says it can find my info and site site says where’s my refund cannot be reached at this time. Hopefully good news on the horizon…
-
Figured I would share this link I came across on the front page.
https://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/34760002.html
According to this calendar, the IRS was on vacation and did not start doing anything until 1/25/16 making today only the 5th day for them.
-
I was just able to order my 2015 return transcript.
File through TT 1/16/15
Accepted 1/19/195
Ordered account transcript 1/26/15
Ordered return transcript 2/1/15 9:49pm -
Once a week on Wednesdays?? Where did that come from? It is normally once a day usually over night.
-
I got my acceotance on the 19th too, but i found this online and thought I would share. Hoping it is correct and I get my refund by Friday.
Where is My IRS Refund Check?
You can check the status of your federal tax refund as soon as 72 hours after the IRS acknowledges receipt of your e-filed return. Please note the IRS only updates the status of your refund once a week, on Wednesdays. So checking back several times a day throughout the week won’t normally give you any new information. The quickest and easiest way to get this information is to go to the Where’s My Refund page. Or, call 1-800-829-1954 or 1-800-829-4477.
-
19ners hopefully we’ll get updated tonight

Boyfriend filed w/ TT 1/21, DDD 1/27-2/11
Last year filed 1/20, refund deposited 2/6
I hope mine comes this week, I am so tired of waiting, I literally just wrecked my boyfriend’s car on the way home from a meeting today and now I have to have my refund so I can get my car. All this waiting is proving ridiculously stressful for me -
@Diamondxxx how do you call urbotax

WMR – 1 Bar
Able to order Transcripts: YESI was able to order my transcripts for 2015 a few minutes ago. So there are signs of life. I assume I will get the return this week or next week. Not in any rush, all this money will be spent for fun and paying off my car. I never account for this money in my budget.
-
Hello I hope this link may help those like myself that are patiently waiting.
Accepted 1/19
1 bar
I owe back taxes, However; I called the accounting department today and was told by two separate employees that this will not delay my refund.
I am only able to order 1 transcript for 2015 tax year.
Last year I was able to go online and view my transcript and it seems like they took that ability away from me this year. However; IRS uses a cycle chart with your cycle number. I am a cycle number 05. Please look at the following link it gives a lot of useful information.*** Please scroll to the top and you will see the following topics ***
1. Processing Timeliness Criteria for Issuing Refund Checks
2. 2016 IDRS Processing Cycles
3. 2016 ECC-MTB Posting Cycles
4. Processing Timeliness Criteria for Campus Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS) ProcessingPlease see below for link and re post if there is anything you see may help others understanding these guidelines…etc.

Im seeing a trend here.
The thread for all of us accepted on 1/19 is one of the longest, 90% of us have not moved past the first bar, and most of the websites used were the same. Also Taxslayer and turbo tax sent an email saying the irs would be accepting returns on 1/19 which I’m assuming caused tons of traffic on their sites. I see a major coincidence, but its likely not. I think this was probably the day that had the MOST returns submitted and thats what is delaying everyone.
I got mine within 7-10 business days for the past 3 years always using taxslayer. tomorrow would mark my 10th business day and no ddd. Is the estimated 21 days business or actual days? Also the IRS website and state website have a topic about a new law stating that returns wont be process until both the employer and the employee have submitted the proper paper work. how do you know if your employer did their part?
taxslayer
submitted 1/18
rejected same day
resubmitted and accepted 1/19.
one bar.utah state return
nothing:/ I’m not desperate for it, but an update would be nice
-
Me and my Fiancée filed separately since we aren’t yet married, both of us filed pretty much the EXACT same as last year.
Both filed 1/19
Accepted 1/19
Both Head of Household
Both Child care, child tax, etc.
Both used T.T.
Both had insurance all year (not through marketplace)
Both have received our state refunds
Both STILL sitting at ONE BAR on WMR
Both can order Account transcript but not Return
Neither of us have received anything from the IRSUgh, it makes me nervous waiting this long but there should be no reason for delay. We filed the exact same as last year (she had a new job this year but mine was the same as last year) and last year everything went smooth with no problems. So there should be no problems this year considering nothing has really changed.
I guess they are just taking their sweet time processing our Returns and we will see some movement (HOPEFULLY) this week! I am a pretty patient person for the most part, but they are testing me. Lol. If the 9th comes and goes with nothing, then I am going to raise hell!! So much for that whole “first in, first out” concept that they go by huh? -
Hey Everyone,
Real quick….I’m in Massachusetts and here’s my info:
Filed thru TT – Accepted by IRS 1/19
Mass. State Return accepted 1/20I have one bar, no money received on sbtpg.com
No state refund yet either.
Cannot order 1015 Return Transcript yet.
No DDD yet.Last year was so fast, so maybe since I need the money more this year, it seems it’s going slower.
LASTLY, IS IT TRUE I CAN CALL TURBOTAX AND THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE MORE UPDATED INFO IF WMR HAS NOT UPDATED FOR ME!??
Thanks everyone
-
Just spoke with the turbo tax lady Jennifer.. I had to get a ticket number to call them online and she just called me back… She said… She didn’t see anything wrong. And she placed Me on hold.. Then she came back and said i have been approved the funding is due to go to sbbt. And I will get an update this week.. I asked was she 100% sure.. she claimed yes.. And I got her id information just because I am always skeptical about things people say. But whatever she checked must seen an pending deposit in sbbt.. Then when they get it.. It will be sent to me…
1/19er
1 bar
Haven’t attempt to check transcripts anymore.. So I’ll just wait -
HR Block direct deposit filer
I filed 1/13/016
Accepted 1/19/2016
I ordered an account transcript, a return transcript was not available.
I called the IRS and the automated system says the same thing as WMR, I have 1 bar,
Congratulations to everyone who has received their refund or has a 2/3 date.
Yes I was financially irresponsible this year and I now need a refund badly, I am using my food and gas money for rent, darn it!! -
filed on 1/18 recieved 1/19
wmr one bar
cant order any transcripts as of today
get notice today to submit form 8962anyone know how long it takes once i send for them to process?
Anyone know of a way to fax/email for faster processing?thanks
-
filed 1/18, accepted 1/19, ddd 2/3. WMR didn’t show approved until Friday 1/29
-
I was accepted on the 19th using turbo tax and as of right this moment still have not been approved so very frustrating!
-
Filed & accepted 1/24 at 6:30 pm
Filed using Turbo Tax, fees taken from refundWhen it asked for my DL#, I declined to give it to them.
Ordered both transcripts on 1/29 at 8:00 am
WMR updated to 2nd bar on 1/30
DDD by 2/3/16
-
I’m not calling IRS, going to wait the 21 days like I should, but also was accepted the 19th, no bar movement, I’ve used TT for 12 years now and always had return on the first deposit date which would have been the 29th. Just waiting anxiously now because i have a good deal on a car I been hoping to buy with the return and the guy is tired of waiting I’m sure.
-
I filed through TT on 1/16 and was accepted on 1/19. Still at one bar. I moved this year and up until today was able to see whether or not I could order transcripts under my old address but not my new one. Today, I can’t see either. Maybe that means they are in the process of updating my information? Hoping for some movement tomorrow. Impatiently waiting.
-
filed 1/17,accepted 1/19,turbo tax, one bar,topic 152,only account transcripts, hopefully no offsets. it seems I always get accepted on a busy day lol..and thinking im 05 cycle still this year,so maybe all these factors play a role in why I dont get approved early this year and same as last year.
-
Filed through TT on 1/18 and was accepted on 1/19. Still no movement. 1 bar and cannot order return transcripts. I got my state refund back the Monday after I filed. Feeling impatient at this point.
-
My taxes were submitted on 1/18 approved on 1/19 and still at one bar. Code 152….
My friend did her taxes a couple days after mine and rec’d her refund on 1/29! Only difference between her and myself is that I have health insurance and she doesn’t. However, I do not have a plan through the Marketplace….. -
So I spoke to the IRS this morning about another issiue that I have with money they owe me from 2012. Anyway while I was on the phone I asked her why I could order my account but not my return and she said I don’t know but what I can tell u is that it’s blank! We haven’t processed your return yet!!!! I know I saw that some one posted that this happened to them last year and they had be delayed a week!!! Soo hopefully all of us 19ers will get DDD this week
-
accepted 1/19 still waiting like the rest of you but I just spent a half hour on the phone with the IRS only to get shot down and told me I need to relax its not even 14 days yet tomorrow will be try checking tomorrow…. Are you kidding me last year I had an offset and still had it in 8 days and I would be calm if people who filed days after me weren’t already getting ddd but I’m supposed to calm down
-
I filed with TT 1/18 and was accepted 1/19 but since then no movement but I have received my state taxes from. MO. Impatiently waiting! Good luck everyone!
-
I filed through TT 1/18 and was accepted 1/19. One bar still no movement! Impatiently waiting
-
Disgusted at this point. filed 1/18. accepted 1/19. no money. one bar. account only tran.
-
This is very stressful.
-
@Rohan
I am still waiting too :) patience dear -
If u was accepted on the 19th then they have to give u a DDD this week. If u was accepted on the 19th, ur 21st day is the 9th. So therefore, if there’s nothing wrong with ur return, u should have a date this week in order to have ur refund in time. Make sense????

Still unable to order return transcript for this year.Indiana state refund deposited 1/27
Is it just me, or are TT clients slower to receive their refunds? Done identity verification during filings……
-
The IRS won’t tell you anything until 21 days are up, for me that is Feb 9th 2016…ugghhh so I’m checking WMR daily and patiently waiting. That’s all.

Oh I could order account transcript, not return transcript for 2015 -
Still no change this morning. One bar on WMR. How would we know if there was an issue with our refund? Would they have contacted us by now?
-
I’m still at one bar.
No return transcript available.
No DDD.
NYS.I’ve never waited this long. It’s almost puzzling.
-
Hoping that we can at least order our return transcripts today because that will be us moving in the right direction as long as theres no crazy codes the next day like they dod my son in law so im going to continue to be patiently waiting in Atl lol
-
Good morning all,
I was curious if anyone used H and R Block. I read that they were having issues this year. I filed 1/7/2016 and accepted 01/19/2016. Still one bar on WMR. Last year I filed 2/8/2015 had refund in bank by 2/17/2015. Seem s the ones who filed early are waiting linger. Any info someone may have would be great. Congrats to those who have a DDD. -
Ok y’all it’s officially February now, something has to be happening this week….right?
-
Still no date and One bar and super worried. I thought at least if it is supposedly coming friday according to the cycle chart that I would have a date by now. I have a large refund and I am wondering are they doing the small ones first or it doesn’t matter?
-
Ok guys. I got some good news yesterday!!!
My bars came back. And my DDD is set for 02/03!!! I have never been so excited in my life lol. I was soooo happy when I saw it.So, this a run through. I am in Hawaii.
Filed with TT. Accepted on 01/19.
My bars went away after only having 1 bar for about 2 days. Then came back. 2 bars now. ?? -
Approved 1/19 only one bar got my state taxes so hoping the Fed is right behind. Fingers crossed for is all.
-
Accepted 1/19
WMR – 1 bar
TT
I was able to order my trans over the phone but the website showed ” information doesn’t match ” Called and ordered my refund trans over the phone. I am hoping for a DD of tomorrow. Monday at the latest. Do you think that we will be updated tomorrow?? Losing hope!
-
-
I filed on 2/18. Accepted on 2/19. Still at 1 bar with tax topic 152. Confident second bar is coming this week.

Accepted-1/19
Still have not………whatever -
lets just stay positive and keep each other in mind when we post
we are all going to get our money some sooner then others but it will come -
I filed 1/18 with TT and accepted 1/19 can order account transcripts but not return, since Thursday 1/28 no updates on WMR still can’t order return transcripts.
My BF’s I filed on H&R Block the 1/11 and accepted on 1/12. Could not access his transcripts with his old address or new address, so never was able to order transcripts for him. He updated 1/30 with a DDD of 2/3.
Now my son’s I filed taxes for him, first time filing as he is 17 and worked a little last yr. I filed his through TT on 1/25 accepted 1/25 and his is being mailed. WMR updated when not sure, just checked his for giggles, and it said his check would be mailed the latest 2/5.
So I am just wondering what the hell happened to mine lol
-
Only thing I’m getting is no bars and tax topic 152…which i heard was bad news…but that is what people have told me…BUT I WAS able to order my account transcripts yesterday at 12pm or earlier. so maybe there is a way out of this tunnel yet. :)
Keep positive people…I know it is hard to but keep up the good faith and let’s just pray for each other. :) -
You know there is always one on every last post. Hey Craig, if your not wondering or worrying about your refund why are you on here? In addition to that, you must have a bad life or you want people to react to what you have said. SMH. Life does happen, so everyone ignore @Craig. Because he’s just like the rest of us wonderers that’s why he’s on here.
-
Some people, probably a lot live pay check to paycheck. I make decent money but have 2 kids and bills. It’s called life. So sometimes tax time is one time of the year we can do extra for our kids , ourselves or whatever . No one has any right to judge. Go back under your rock troll
-
I have always said there is one in every crowd and there you are!!! Why is it that there has to be one person that has to say, “Well if you just budgeted better you wouldn’t be waiting and worrying over your refund.” Some of us do this to keep ourselves from going nuts. This eases my mind seeing what others are going through as well.
Ease up on the poor people out there. I squeeze every penny and budget the best that I can, but still things get behind. That is just the way that things happen, its called life.
I am sure that life has smacked you in the face a few times and I am sure that you didn’t want to hear, well budget your money better. -
You’re all crying over spilled milk. You are ALL within the 21 day time frame. Not one person, including the IRS, can explain what point your return is in within the process, until the 21 days are up (began on 1/19 even if you filed before).
Yes, it’s $. Yes, it’s your $. Relax, it will arrive when it arrives. Maybe you should be more financially responsible during the year, so you’re not as dependent on this check. There’s a thought!
-
I don’t believe it matters who you used to file. I used Turbo Tax last year. Filed on February 4th and had my money. Updated on the weekend and had my deposit by the following Tuesday, February 10th. I have never waited this long. And I’m actually counting the year I had an offset and still got my money very quickly. This year I went back to FreeTaxUSA which I’ve used many times and never had any problems. Seeing a lot of theories surrounding why us “accepted on the 19th” people are waiting so long. It doesn’t seem like theres any real order. Its just a waiting game…. Frustrating….. If it helps, I filed on the 18th, got accepted on the 19th, and have had one bar with topic 152 ever since. I’ve gotten so tired of seeing that bar I’m calling instead now to hear over the phone if I have any updates from the automated system. If I see that bar again…… Hang in there everyone. Our time will come!
-
@minnie Thanks for the feedback!
I forgot to mention that the healthcare issue has nothing to do with me because I have had healthcare provided by my employer since 1980 and it continued right into retirement. Unless IRS is batching by SSN or State or Region, there is no reason that they should hold up my piddly little refund when nothing but a 2% COLA changed since last year. If I were filing with a W-2 instead of a 1099-R, I’d be able to use the 1040-EZ form. With the 1009-R, I’m forced to use the 1040-A.

TaxAct
1 bar
TT 152Filed: 1/17/2016
Accepted: 1/19/2016As of 1/31/2016 @ 3:24 PM CST, no WMR movement or changes.
There are some people losing their WMR bars with error code 9001 or something, saying secondary tax filers SSN used. This makes no sense to me, since my wife and I filed joint, and I use WMR for both of us and have no seen code: 9001 EVER.
I called the IRS on Friday, but made the mistake of saying WMR did say received which promoted them to say they can not open an info until after 21 days, so I suppose unless you get lucky, the only way to truck them into giving you info may be to lie about WMR. Either way, she did tell me that if there was an issue, i would know by now,
At this point, I am beyond worried, I am just annoyed and angry. I know they say not to plan on getting your refund by any date, but come on.. I just want to see some likely information that pertains to what is actually going on here!!
I see a few different ideas on the main page about not getting refund at all this coming week..
Any ideas?
-
I filed TT on the 19th got accepted on 19th WMR still on processing. I am wondering if that affordable healthcare has anything to do with it or shall I make this my last year with TT. Last year i didnt get it until April.

***Sadie***
I am having the same issue I filled 1/19 accepted 1/19 wmr was working fine until yesterday wmr cant match my information my return has disappeared. Have you had any updates yet???
-
Filed 1/19/16 accepted the evening of 1/19/16 still no change to our wmr still says its processing. This is mildly irritating but we are playing the waiting game lol
-
My refund accepted on Jan.20th.My sons accepted on the 15th.Mine was approved on the 30th with deposit date of Feb.3rd but my son still has only processing on wmr.Why would this be? Do they do it by last 4 of social.
-
Filed 1/19
Accepted 1/19
Ordered Account Transcripts 1/30
Still 1 WMR bar as of 9:30AM 1/31I am thinking that it will update this week,. I know its an old wives tale but my mother in law used to tell us if your left hand itched that you were going to get money. You were supposed to scratch it on wood, spit on it and stick it in your pocket. As broke as we have been, yes we do this and yes it works LOL. I just have a feeling that ours will update Monday morning. I mean we have to realize something, there are ALOT of people right now filing taxes. Yes I got mine super fast last year. I actually got mine before anything updated on WMR.
We filed last year on 1/20, accepted the same date and was sitting at Wal-Mart on 1/26 picking out some new things. I kept checking it everyday to see when our date was going to show up, it never did. I got depressed just like I do every year and worried because I have obligations riding on the money and it still came through.
I just have a feeling about Monday Morning.Also I live in KY, if anyone else in KY has gotten a DDD please post it. My TT page says 1% have received their money already. They are just taking it a bit slower this year than previous years. We will get it, I Just have a good feeling about Monday.

@Sadie yw and i hope you get it and can fix some of those issues. you’re right we all are in same boat here,I have quite a few things to fix also. I’m hoping we all get update tonight and atleast get return transcripts but really would love a ddd :)
-
@minnie thank you. You are probably right. I usually don’t need my return. It’s a bonus. But this year is different . A lot of financial issues. Just like everyone else. Just worried . Thx tho
-
@Debbie t in Oregon, same for me every year too. I was hoping for a quicker process this year but no luck for Me either :( but atleast we’re getting them :)
-
@Sadie i know it’s hard not to do but i wouldn’t worry, I think they get info confused when calling,so if website isn’t showing Any problems and being accepted and being able to order atleast the account transcripts then I would say that you’re ok and probably getting approved very soon
-
accepted 1/19 got a ddd 1/3 this morning 1/30
-
Thank u and never mind. I was able to get through to the refund hotline and got the same generic message . However the transcript line says they are experiencing technical difficulties and to try later. I give up. lol . Ok get it when I get it . Or not
-
Can someone please give me some insight. Accepted 1/19. Have one bar topic 152. I exceeded my limit today on WMR so I don’t know if that has changed. Can only order account transcripts. Tried to order by phone today and they could not match my ss #. Just tried to call the automated refund line and they could not match my ss# either . Although I called this am and they said I was processing . What is this? I’ve like disappeared . Any clues ? Please help if you have any info on this
-
I filed and was accepted on the 19th. My son filed and was accepted the 25th. Neither of us has anything other than “accepted” on the WMR site. I just tried to order transcripts…first I tried return transcripts and they weren’t available then tried account transcripts and they said I’d get them in 5-10 days. Hopefully, I’ll have my refund by then. Sad thing is, NOTHING changed from last year to this, other than a minor COLA to my pension. Address, bank account, and everything else is identical to last year. Refund is barely over $500 so why is it taking almost the entire 21 days to see my refund? My 1099-R wasn’t even available to me for filing until the 19th, so I filed as soon as possible. Ever since the Federal Tax Law Changes for 2010-2017, I have been waiting the entire 21 days and this year I was hoping that garbage would stop. Guess not…
-
Filed thru a hr block office the 19th accepted the 21st and as of this morning got approved with a dd date of February 3rd
-
Well I got my approval today finally! With a ddd of feb 3rd
Our money is coming people (: -
Thi is BS. I work to got damn hard. Go can it take so long to process a return so simple. They need to tighten up. In scared for next year already. There’s no telling how long u will wait in 2017
-
weird… filed 1/18, accepted 1/19. one bar but today Turbo tax says: Refund deposited to: and then gives my bank info to my netspend… but also says “accepted” and doesn’t have a date of approval. anybody else have this? I called netspend and they told me nothing there yet.
-
Filed on 1/14, accepted 1/19, no updates until today 11:30am CST, 2 bars and a DDD of 2/3. I think most people who were accepted on 1/19 should see updates today or tomorrow latest, with DDD’s of 2/3 or 2/5, so really all those deposits should be going in sporadically throughout this week depending on who you bank with.
I did also call the IRS automated hotline 800-829-1954, and that did tell me I had a DDD of 2/3 about 2 days ago when I called, and my return and account transcripts were available to order 2 days ago as well. I think I was already done processing on 1/28, just no update or DDD until today on WMR :) Be patient everyone, i was losing hope and BAM out of nowhere updates started coming in. Call the IRS line, I think it updates sooner than WMR.
-
I have read on this website that as of yesterday they have only released 10% of the refunds and they are all $1000 or less. But this what it says today:r Refund Advantage website: (Some light at the end of the tunnel)
January 30, 2016 – A Large Group of Refunds Is Now Scheduled To Be Released by IRS This Coming Week
The IRS is expected to release a large group of refunds this coming week. These refunds are currently showing a direct deposit date at the IRS WHERES MY REFUND of Wednesday February 3. We currently expect to release checks and prepaid cards related to this group on Tuesday afternoon February 2. This group will be the first large group of refunds of the year. Prior to this point, the IRS has only released very small batches of refunds, representing only less than 1% of refunds. It is highly unusual for the IRS to have waited this long to release the first large batch of refunds.
The batch of refunds that should be coming this week will be MUCH larger than what has been released previously, and is expected to include many of the refunds filed between Jan 11 and Jan 18. The batch will also include some refunds filed between Jan 19 and Jan 23, although we do not expect there to be as many from this time period released by the IRS
-
OK. Filed and approved 1/19. Able to order account transcript as of Wed. but not return. No update this morning still processing on WMR. BUT Today on Turbo tax You’re currently opted in to the pilot IRS refund tracking program. Like to unsubscribe?
Federal refund status: Processing
Your refund should be on its way to you on February 6, 2016 ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS?
-
Filed and accepted 1/19.
Woke up this morning to WMR saying deposit date of February 3. Quicker for me than last year. -
I filed TT on 1/18
Accepted 1/19
Able to order transcripts (BOTH) for first time yesterday 1/30
Woke up to a DDD of 2/3I have had nothing change since last year, no offset, literally NOTHING different except a few dollars on my return.
The process has taken me about 3 days longer than it did last year, and I have read/heard it is because of the additional identity checks but I am not an expert, who knows!
I know this: I will not file early ever again. I took the advice of a ‘tax expert’ that this year was the year to file early because there were no problems reported and it would go quickly. Last year I filed the day AFTER tax season opened and it was faster. Good luck early filers!!! I hope everyone had a DDD this morning.

My current DDD is February 3, 2016.
Hoping it will hit my account sooner! Fingers crossed. Good luck everyone! -
@Brian B that is the bank turbotax uses to fund it’s customers who pay with their refund. Please don’t spread misinformation.
Everyone having a good day? Congratulations to everyone who woke up to a DDD, expect your funds no later than Wednesday (personal experience says Monday or Tuesday).
Got my refund already, but I will be hanging around until the end of the season to help answer any questions you may have.

I looked on SBBT site last night and I had an error that said my account was funded past the date of 01/01/0001 so there is a delay… Smh, wtf is going on I usually have my refund in 10 days. Last year filed 2/2/15, accepted 2/6/15, DDD 2/11/15.

I also am a victim of identity theft and been using a pin since 2012. Last year my refund was in my bank before WMR updated to the second bar. That was on a Wednesday. No worries all….eventually everyone will be updated on their statuses.

I’m in Southern California. Submitted via TT 1/19, accepted within hours, ordered 2015 return transcripts yesterday afternoon, Approval received today at midnight Pacific time. DDD February 3rd. Each year I file the first day, approval notice 2 Saturday’s after I file and receive my payment the following Wednesday. Almost exactly 2 weeks after I file. This never fails!!!

@Impatient Not sure I’m in Georgia. I have not had any issues before. I am assuming to have an update soon, at least by Friday 2/5/16. There were people that was able to get both transcripts and still one bar. None of that means anything to me. Just waiting…:)

Filed the 19th
Approved the 19th -
My bars disappeared this morning and I still have topic 152, but I also have a reference code 9001. I heard this just means wrong ssn entered…but I am not entering the wrong number. I also heard this could be a review but nothing has changed for me in 3 years. What could this be?

Got approved this morning. DD is Feb 3rd.
Also, go visit http://www.sbtpg.com and click on tax payers. That is the bank the IRS money come from.

Filed on 1/19 accepted same day, one bar on WMR and this money is terribly important to us. I have a past due dr’s bill that I have to pay before I can go back. Our tax returns are just simple tax returns, we own no land or have anyting but a tiny income and where we were in school part of the year. Its just simple stuff, I hope nothing is wrong. I am probably just worrying for nothing though. We all get antsy this time of the year

Check WMR around 3: 30AM, it was unavailable, checked about at 3:45AM and no update. I am still at one bar with no DD and Topic 152.

Friend filed after me ( filed and accepted 1/22, I was 1/19) she got her refund this morning in her bank. She wasn’t even expecting it or checking for it yet. Sorry but this just stinks. One bar, nothing on SBBT and nothing on TT. I was able to order transcripts but was told that doesn’t matter one bit and is just a myth. :( Hope early filers hear something soon.

@kychick
1. There should be an update tonight that will show results tomorrow
2. It depends on how your bank processes direct deposits
3. If you get approved tomorrow you will more than likely have a dad of wednesday -
File 18th, accepted 19th and I still can’t order either transcript. MO filer through Tax Act… HELP
-
@kychick for the past 3 yrs I have gotten APPROVED on a Saturday and my refund 4 to 5 days later.
-
@Michigan in waiting. ..go to irs. Gov search transcript select request by mail then put in your info then select 2015 return transcript and account transcript
-
ok so i filed the 17th and accepted on the 19th. no movement on my bar and this morning at around 7 am i was able to order my account transcript but no return transcript. i just tried again for return transcript this afternoon and still nothing… my questions are as follows:
1 Will the site update over the weekend?
2. can there still be deposits made on the weekend ( my coworker got hers on a sat last year so she says)
3 will they deposit on a monday? or tuesday? -
Also I was wondering what exactly is a transcript and is it available to everyone?
-
Can someone please tell me how to go about ordering transcripts?

Hey gals and guys. Great news!!!!! I filed 1/19 w taxact accepted same day @ 11:30am. Im still at 1 bar on wmr and irs2go. I was able to request transcripts this morning so i called the treasury offset and it said my debt was paid out of my refund dated 2/3/2016 so im thinking we will update monday for ddd of wed or friday!
-
@jess thank you that helps! I’m getting married later this year so it would be nice to have now but it is what it is! My return is always pretty simple, this year I just added school to it and moved, but still pretty basic. It’ll be here when it gets here :) thanks for sharing your story, glad everything went ok for you!
-
Yep! Still thinking WMR will update 02/03, hopefully ddd 02/05! Fingers Crossed since I didnt make it into the DDD for today! Still cant order return transcripts, just account (which doesnt matter anyway) Had to use my address from 2 yrs ago to request them which was weird. Last year and this year I have the same address so didnt understand why it took my address from 2 yrs ago. 1 bar, filed 1/18, accepted 1/19- tax topic 152 (but I know i have a federal offset for about 1/8th of my expected amt but I did last year too and it didnt delay anything)
-
im still stuck on one bar and ive heard some people already got their money when they filed the same time i did
-
@BIZ Dont worry about anything if you have never had a problem. I myself just found this site this year and have never had a problem with my returns except for 2012 when my Identity was stolen. Ever since then I have been filing with a pin and my returns have been processed out and paid in less than 14 days. It seems that everyone gives people mixed information and mixed hope cause more anxiety and stress.
Here is my experience from previous years…..I have never ordered transcripts till now because everyone is talking about it so I decided to do it. I can order an account transcript with my old address. I filed 1/18 and was Accepted 1/19. I have been at 1 bar with same tax topic of 152. Last year my WMR never made is passed the first bar. I checked WMR last year and got the second bar 2 days after my DD date which was on a Wednesday. Meaning the day It updated my money had already been in my bank account and I had no idea. The year my identity got stolen I didn’t see a check till almost that next year. After that my returns have been processed great and on time as long as I use my pin. Everyone really needs to just calm down. I used to be a tax preparer for JH for 6 years and things are on schedule but because of the billions of dollars paid out over the years to FRAUDULENT returns the IRS is really just making sure everything is not going how its suppose to. I didn’t even know there was a delay last year for taxes considering I was quite surprised I received my refund so fast. Everyone will start seeing more movement from now on down.

Filed the 16th
Accepted the 19thNo update on WMR
Finally able to order account transcript this morning but no returns transcript. At I know there is some movement. Hopefully I’ll have my return soon. -
@Worried…yes, I think they update those more often than once over night. I was unable to order my return transcripts early this morning but was just able to (10.31 am EST).
-
Filed 1-18, accepted 1-19, also no change, and this account transcript thing…No matter what info I pull in it says it can’t find me. I’ve never tried to do that before and it’s just scaring me at this point! Hopefully by next Friday it’s here, I don’t wanna hit that 21 day mark, cuz I never have before!
-
Filed w/ TT 1/18 accepted 1/19 one bar on WMR nothing updated in SBBT or TT
Was unable to order transcripts until today, and this morning was able to order both. Maybe we will see some movement guys!
-
File 18th, accepted 19th, and still unable to or any transcripts. 1 bar WMR
-
Filed HRB 1/8 accepted 1/19. As of 1/29 1 bar, able to order account TS, not refund TS
-
Hey all usually I just lurk, my return was accepted on the 11th and finally today at 930 I could order my trans both return and account, no update on my bars or on ssbt yet so hopefully will update tomorrow.
-
I knew better than to file when I did. I always get my refund 7 days after being accepted when I file 1 or 2 days after the official start date.
Filed 1/18, Accepted 1/19, no ddd, one bar, no money.But… last year I did get my refund before wmr updated so, kinda still hopeful for money to be magically in my account today. lol
-
Is it possible that transcripts will still update later, I still can’t get mine, accepted 1/19
-
I filed on 1/17 and was accepted on 1/19 early morning. I just was able to order my account transcript not my refund transcript. Still on 1 bar. Could the IRS be delayed in updating their WMR site? Is it possible to receive a refund before the site updates?
Hope so!! -
I’m right there with the rest of ya’ll filed 1/18 accepted 1/19 unable to order transcripts last night woke up this morning able to order account transcripts. So I’m hoping this will give a DDD Sunday and a deposit sometime next week
-
I was finally able to order both my account and refund transcripts this morning at about 7am! Good news right!? Fingers crossed!
-
@money its seems that the most important transcript is the account transcript. Everyone is seemingly now able to get it. I read on here in another forum that the account transcript tells you about payments and any adjust that were made on your return after being processed. So lets keep our fingers crossed for updates or Deposits soon.
-
Everyone that was able to order account transcripts that means that you will be seeing an update soon. I think for myself I will update tomorrow and have a dd of Wednesday. But that is my personal opinion.
-
Im a first time filer, i filed and was accepted on 1/19 but im not able to order my account transcript. Its is saying.
“Your request cannot be completed. Please contact us at 1-800-908-9946, our automated telephone self service, to order an account or a return transcript.” and it says can not process request when i called it in. Should i be worried? Or it only doing that because i am a first time filer? -
Ok so if im able to order my 2015 account transcript do that mean that ill have a ddd soon? or is the refund transcript the one i need beacause i was only able to order my 2015 account transcript not my refund transcript please someone tell me the difference and also i filed on 1/9/16 and was approved on 1/11/16
-
Msj same here… I’m now able to order my 2015 acct transcript but not my refund transcript.
-
No bar changed but I can order my account transcript but not my return transcript but it says on the site if your want your return one for this year fill out form 4060 or something like that before you even request them. No ddd. No money in my accout. I filed around 1/12 via hr block accepted 1/19 around 2 in the afternoon. No ddd. Hoping soon!
-
-
Just was able to order Account Transcripts ?
Prior to today I wasn’t able to order anything – so there is some activity?? Most likely we will see a update tonight – according to refund cycle ? we should have it by Next Friday ? -
No change. Just checked. One bar.
-
Filed tt 14th accepted 19th have had one bar still have one bar but this morning can order account transcript but can not order refund transcript so must be some gears turning somewhere.
-
My daughter and I both accepted on the 19th
Still one bar as of this morning
NO CHANGE -
I’m tired of seeing the one bar. I’m not even going to check on it anymore….. freaking useless WMR tool
-
I filed with h&r block the 19th accepted the 21st still on the first bar with no updates since the 21st! Has anyone recieved there refund yet? Like the actual money not just a date!?
-
When do transcripts update?
-
I’m starting to think from seeing all these posts,that ppl who were accepted on or before 1/19 are always last to get their money. even last year this seemed to be the case…guess i should wait later…lol…I don’t know the secret to getting early direct deposit but I’m trying to figure it out!
-
I dont think that is a cycle code,cycle dates ends in last two numbers either 02,03,04,05 ,last year was 05 for me
-
you need to be able to see 2015 transcripts to get your cycle code….last year we were able to view online and see cycle code right away but this year only option is being mailed…but if your able to even have the option for 2015 transcripts to be mailed then you are one step closer to getting your refund. ..but they’re Arent available yet to be able to be mailed for some ppl including me , so that means my refund isn’t ready
-
I filed 1/19 accepted 1/19 1bar no other movement. I filed using Tax Act, quick question
If i dont have my prior years tax transcript, how can we tell what the cycle is? I see these numbers 20160194 is this a cycle code? -
So tonite I went and checked again… Just to see. And a little box came up saying “error”. Oh boy! This isn’t looking good at all now. ???
-
Me 2. SBBT had the 21 day message this morning and now it’s gone. Just they haven’t received it. Good sign? Yes IMHO

Hopefully for us accepted on the 19th we will see some bar movement over the weekend for a Wednesday DDD.

So I did my taxes with TT. AS I ALWAYS HAVE for the last 9 years!!!
Was accepted the 19th! The where’s my refund TT APP tool says it was accepted the 27th?! Weird.
Up to this morning the irs refund tool only had 1 bar. Now this morning. NO bars. All disappeared. This happened last year and there was a MASSIVE hold up on my refund. With NO letter. No explanation. I am self employed now, which is the only change.
Tried to access my transcripts. Only option on its website is to do by mail and it says they aren’t available. This sucks. Totally stressing me out because I was planning a trip in 2 weeks and thought for sure id have my refund by then since it will be 4 weeks from when I filed. But it’s not looking good. Although I’m praying things turn around for the best. =( -
@David – mine did the same and on FB a lot of other TT users said the same so hopefully…maybe..it means they are updating and we will receive funds soon.
I am usually on a weekly cycle (funds always received about 10 days after filing) so I didn’t expect to receive until close to Valentines day but I filed early this year (18th accepted on the 19th) so I was hoping that I received it earlier. If nothing this weekend I expect it by thursday.
-
So, I filed and was accepted on 1/19- no movement at all. I just signed onto SBTG site and the generic message of “expected by 2/9” is now gone and just says “TPG has not received your federal tax refund.”
Did anyone else’s change? Does this mean I am being reviewed? Thanks all
-
Hey all….
I filed 1/15 and was accepted 1/19. What are the chances that I will be getting my DD tomorrow 1/29? On the where’s my refund app for Play Store (not the IRS2GO one) it said tomorrow. But my WMR still has 1 bar. I’ve never had experience with getting a DD prior to my WMR being updated?
-
Not sure where my post went! lol No update yesterday. WMR usually updates on Wednesdays for me so hopefully I will have a DDD no later than the 5th!
-
-
@Jamie I think NYS has some that to anyone who was accepted last week. It might be an automatic system thing. I’ve never had my NY tax process before federal. I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m a little annoyed about my federal. Accepted the 19th and still no update. My NYS fit accepted on the 21st and went to the further review message this morning as well.
-
No update
Accepted 1/19
In Georgia -
Accepted on 11th with one bar.
NOT same as last year because I filed early last year and was in the FIRST set of deposits.
I called and no offsets plus same type form filed with not much change from last year.
Very sad here. :(
-
Accepted 1/19.
Nys put me under further review this morning.
No word on federal yet. Still showing one bar.
I’m not sure what happened with Nys. -
@minnie Where would I find my that information? I’m not really sure what the cycle code is… is that when I filed, accepted and DDD? This is my first time ever actually really diving this far down the rabbit hole to get answers about my refund…. ;-)
I know last year I filed on 2/10 and had my DD in my account on 2/19….
So, I’m looking at two weeks today of my refund being stuck, compared to last year’s being under 10 days….
This year’s refund is quit a bit larger though. So I’m not sure if that has something to do with it or what? I just need some good vibes sent my way… I’m really sinking in happy thoughts over here. -
@Jared no answers here really besides irs refund dates if you were accepted between 1/19 – 1/29 direct deposit will be 2/5 but other factors help get refund faster but I’m always last round of deposits even though I was accepted 1/19 & filed 1/17. I was just hoping I’d get it this Friday lol. but no hope for me
-
Still waiting for DDD.
Filed 1/16
Accepted 1/19My state status says my return has been processed…that’s it….no DDD or any other info of codes. Any ideas?
-
@tess or anyone else. ..do you remember your cycle code from last year, I think it’s same and will get refund about the same time as last year
-
@teas i know Excatly what you’re going through. I hope we get an update tonight!
-
I was accepted on 1/14, and WMR has been on Bar one since with Tax topic 152 there the whole time. I called the IRS yesterday, and the lady I talked to said she couldn’t even look into her system to see what was going on with my information until it’s been 21 days or more. I can’t order my transcripts. I have even called the Treasury Offset number, and nothing there. Which I knew wouldn’t be, since I had already talked to my student loan services and was told that I wasn’t on the list this year for an offset. I just got terminated in December from my job two weeks before Christmas and getting a job since as single mom with the kids isn’t easy when you where under FMLA in the first place. So now I’m trying to fight the company as it was deemed and true to the matter, retaliation against myself. Anywho… I’m just getting worried that I’m never going to see this refund, and I’m going to lose everything if they don’t come in soon, or at least a job.
-
I’m hoping to be approved tonight. filed 1/17 accepted 1/19 tt. can’t order transcripts and only one bar and can’t find account on sbbank. but thinking i was cycle 05 last year and i think that means update for me on Thursdays.
-
How can sbt give me a estimated refund date of 2/1 if the it’s hasn’t even approved my refund yet…how accurate Is this date?? Please help filed 1/4 assuming accepted 1/19 lil most everyone else but still one first bar on wmr
-
Also accepted 1/19 through TT. No update on WMR… Located in eastern CT. Anyone else from the area? Also im getting the Netspend card. TT said that was the fastest option. Does anyone know if DD and netspend take the same amount of time?
-
Filed and accepted on the 19th. No change to WMR status this morning, the 27th…still says “Accepted” but not “Approved.”
-
So I have some news that may put some of you at ease. I filed my return on the 18th, it was accepted on the 20th. Feeling like many of you, I’m wondering why my WMR status is still at one bar. So I did a Google search and found this website below. Read what they wrote:
http://www.irstaxseason.com/stuck-on-your-refund-is-still-being-processed.html
Hopefully, it pans out for all of us because just like someone stated above I so need my refund to get my car fixed.
So maybe the refund is on its way for some of you but it hasn’t updated yet. I’m still a little worried about myself though because my employment and filing status have changed and I’m no longer filing the dependent I was. However, my address and bank remain the same so hopefully I’ll still get my refund with no problems.
-
Filed TaxAct on 1/17, approved 1/19, updated this morning to second bar around 6:00 AM CT time with a DDD of 1/29
Hang in there guys and gals, appreciate everyone waiting with me. See you all next year -
I was accepted on the 19th and still one bar what number can i call to speak to someone at the irs?
-
Does anyone know where Texas usually processes through?
-
Filed 1/20 through TT accepted less than an hour later. Still at 1 bar on WMR no DDD. Called IRS they say there’s no problems with my return, and TT says that everything looks good, that there are NO hold ups.
-
Ok Fellow Tax Payers.. For last few years this has been the website I come to right after filing my taxes (its like a yearly family reunion to me .. LOL) ..
I dont contribute anything unless I see it for myself and its A FACT.
I also filed on 1/9 and accepted 1/12.
I awoke this morning (1/27) to having 2 bars and a DDD of 1/29 no later than 2/3.
So something is clearly moving. There is light for us test batch/early filers.
Hope this helps. And incase this is my last post (because I will not post I got my refund while others are waiting. I think its insensitive) .. See U guys next year!!

-
I filed 1/19 and was accepted 2 hours later on 1/19 with TT. I checked this morning and I have 2 bars and a DD of 1/29. As far as I can gather from reading on sites this was the first wave of DDs. I am sure by tomorrow some other of us 1/19ers will also have DD of 1/29. I am in NV and I process out of the UT center and they seem to move quick up there. I would think I would process out of the CA, but what do I know?! I remember last year people were early/later depending on where they were coming out of. I bet tomorrow a lot more of us will be posting happy DD.
-
Filed 1/18 with TT – Rejected due to conflict with name change and SS# – refiled
Accepted 1/19 – one bar in process
No Bars 1/25 – return is still being processed, dd date when available, 152
1/27 Spoke with IRS my return is being reviewed due to name change, filing status change, larger income amount, self employment income, no additional information has been requested in the form of sending me a letter, etc -
Thats what i’m trying to figure out as well. I usually get my hrblock email before wmr updates. I’m in Oregon so I assume I go through the Fresno, CA processing center. I wonder if this has anything to do with it? I cant order any transcripts, have no ddd, and was accepted 1/19
-
I filed the 17th accepted the 1/19 still only one bar :(
-
If I filed on 1/19 and was accepted on 1/19 but I am still showing 1 bar and the 152, does that mean I am SOL on DD of 1/29? Or can they possibly roll out the update through the day? I have three guys at work that filed the same day/accepted same day and all of us still only have 1 bar and the 152. Thanks so much! At least some of us have some happy endings!
-
Filed Free on 1/18, Accepted 1/19. One Bar. No ddd.
Last year I got my deposit before wmr updated so maybe that will be the case this year. -

i filed and was accepted the 19. I haven’t had any bars, just a we have received your return and are processing. Any else like this?
-
I received my Direct Deposit date for this Friday around 4am this morning.
-
Accepted 19th. I bar. Cannot order transcripts. This is not good. Last year had my money in my account 6 days after filing. So pissed off!
-
Filed and Accepted 1/19, had one WMR bar until yesterday- Logged in and my one bar is gone, and a “we’re processing your return” message. Simple return so I don’t know if I should panic or wait to see if I have a DD in the bank on Friday.
-
Filed around 8am through TaxAct on the 19th. Accepted by IRS around 11am on the 19th. 1 bar on WMR since the 19th. No update yet and cannot mail order my return transcript.
-
It’s 4:38am here on West coast and no DD for me. Still not approved.
-
I have had nothing going on no bar movement, not able to order transcripts, filed and accepted on the 19th. I am wondering if it is possible to have an offset that doesn’t show up on the offset hotline?
-
Filed 1/14, accepted 1/19. No dd for me this morning. :-(
-
I just got a DD of 1/29/16
There is no way to post a picture here so if anyone need proof give me you email address and I will send to the 1st 5. -
@chiinadollmimi It means your return is currently under review.
-
Hey, did anyone’s wmr bars disappeared. I seen @craig said the same. What does it mean?
-
why is everyone expecting updates tonight in particular?
-
I just had my return transcript for 2015 pulled and mailed to me. Hopefully this is good news! However I’ve not received the thank you email from tt yet, but I’m hopeful that my dd will be in soon. Got a trip to Florida next week and could really use the extra funds.
-
Last year, I filed on January 23rd, was accepted on January 25th, and got my DD on February 9th. Since I filed and was accepted on January 19th this year, I’m hoping to get my DD this Friday. Still only says “accepted” though and not “approved” so I guess tomorrow will tell…
-
I filed on the 18th and was accepted on the 19th still at 1 bar and can’t order my transcript either, hoping mines will update tommorrow
-
Alphonse,
I went online and it allowed me to mail order my 2015 transcript so hopefully that’s mean something.
I filed and was accepted on 19th
Wmr only 1 bar -
This from someone on another post. I hope this helps:

I attempted to order my transcript yesterday via phone from an IRS agent, the agent told me that a transcript for 2015 taxes cannot be ordered until the return is processed. well low and behold of an hour ago I can now order my 2015 tax transcript online. I would have to believe this is related to gears turning behind the scenes. I am guessing we will see an update to WMR late tonight for DDD
-
Hmmm let me see yes last year I received my money in my account on a Tuesday 2/10/15 I remember because there was lot’s of talk the week before about transcripts and the one’s that had transcripts viewable with code 860 had gotten there money the next day and anytime shortly after that I couldn’t order transcripts the first few days of the 7 day process time from opening day but it was either a day or 2 after I got my transcript my money was in my account and that was a Tuesday transcripts are done in real time and can be available anytime of day mine around 4 am that week threw it all I got only to 2nd bar on wmr lol I was scared I wouldn’t get my money for a few more days when I saw that republic Bank had my funds but I got it around 4am day of Tuesday they had it since Monday early twilight hours. Took 20 days last year I hope doesn’t this year. One year only took 5 days for my refund in hand
-
I was accepted on Jan 19 and I expect my update tonight at 3am and I am hoping for my DD on Friday. Last year I filed on Jan 22 and my DD was on Friday, Jan 30. Good luck everyone!

Correction:
* ALWAYS rolls out the Weds *OF* the 2nd week, after tax season starts (tomorrow)*
-
@amie – It sounds to me like a standardized e-mail that gets sent out to multiple people. It probably says “You Qualify” and then you actually go through the motions and it eventually leads you to a place to set up DD..
On the other hand, based on past experience with friends, other people online and myself, the first batch of WMR updates ALWAYS rolls out the Weds on the 2nd week after tax season starts (tomorrow) and the first DD’s are always the Friday after that (this Friday). In the past, I have heard of QUITE A FEW Netspend users getting their money on their card as early as the Weds that WMR updates or the day after (1-2 days before their DDD).. SO, theoretically, depending on when you filed and were accepted, you could possibly have your money on your card as early as tomorrow or the day after. Either way though, if you’re in the first batch of DD’s it’ll be Friday at the latest. So don’t fret, it’s coming! :) -
@amie I get those emails every few months from netspend, but I rarely use my card. There are only deposits on it every other month in amounts of anywhere from $20-$100 but the emails always say that I qualify for the overdraft option because of depositing over $500 in that month but there is never a deposit in that amount. Even during tax time I send my refund to my bank account.
-
I have a question if someone could help with an answer please. I went through TT and ordered the Netspend card to have my refund deposited to it. Yesterday I got the card and called in to active the card. This morning i got an email stating that i qualified for the overdraft option because i had deposited at least $500 this month with my direct deposit . Which is impossible i only have it for the refund. Could there already be a pending deposit that the system is picking up?? What do you think? Thanks

BOTH Me and My Fiancee filed with TurboTax
I filed 1/19 at 1PM / My Fiancee filed 1/19 at 4PM
I was Accepted 1/19 at 1:44PM / She was Accepted 1/19 at 5:12PM
STILL 1 bar on WMR for both / Neither of our bars have disappeared
Both SBBT says expected 2/9However, the last couple years SBBT said something like that as well (about 20 days out from when we filed) and we got ours on the 30th last year. Just like with TurboTax, how it says 21 days from the date you filed, and then gives you a date, SBBT typically receives funds within 20 days, so they put that..
So, with looking at ALL my past history and my fiancée’s, I am expecting everybody that filed 1/19 before the close of business or earlier to be getting refunds on the 30th. Last year, my WMR updated on the Weds (1/28) before my DDD (1/30).
That is how it has ALWAYS been for the first round of DDD’s, because even if you filed early, your refund won’t be processed until the first DDD’s which typically includes some returns filed on the 1st & 2nd day of the season.
Tax season starts, you wait for the first WMR update which it is always the following Weds (7-8 days) after Tax season starts, then the first DDD is always 2 days later on Friday. So we should see a WMR update with DDD’s 4-6AM Weds morning.. You WILL have your money on Friday (depending on your banks hold times)…Then we will do all this worrying about the IRS “Taking longer than normal” and all of this impatience again next year because we love to get our money back and pay stuff off and buy things!!! What do they expect? I know It’s the only time of the year I have 8 grand all at once on top of my regular income.. Lol. :)

My Wmr bars disappeared this morning. Anyone else?

Can someone please let me know how to log on to SBBT’s website? Is there any information other than what we use when logging in to the WMR site that is required?
Many thanks.

My return was done using TT online and was transmitted January 19, 2016, 1:36 PM PST. It was accepted January 19, 2016, 2:34 PM PST. Still not approved as of today at 4:30 PM PST. For some reason, my return has taken almost the full 21 days for the last few years even though I am a retiree with the exact same 1099-R and standard deductions, as well as the same bank account direct deposit. Nothing has changed during all 12 years of retirement. I hope this year things change back to how they were a few years ago when I would get my return 7-9 days after filing. This is a great forum to find out what’s going on with others who file the same time I do. Good luck to us all!

Filed 1/17 and was accepted 1/19. I have 1 bar on wmr and sbbt states I should receive by 2/9. I hope it’s earlier than that.

kalassy,
Many thanks for the information and for your kindness!
All the best for a quick refund.

Jen,
SBBT stands for Santa Barbara Bank and Trust. it is the bank used by the majority of big tax preparers. If you had filing fees and chose to use your refund to pay for those filing fees, SBBT handles the transaction to collect those fees for the preparer. So, you efiled, XXX company charged you maybe $XXX and you chose to have that fee come out of your refund instead of paying that fee upfront. Your refund will come from the IRS to SBBT first, they will collect what you owe in fees, and then SBBT will send the remaining balance to your bank account or prepaid card.
IRS officially doesn’t have refund cycle charts anymore. The charts circulating are basically an early collective educated guess on when the refund dates might be. The rumors about refunds on 1/29 is based off what we saw last year.
Keep in mind that with the IRS, anything is possible. You may get a happy surprise and have money in your account before WMR even updates, OR you could be left in WMR limbo and waiting waaaay longer than anticipated. Generally speaking, don’t get caught up in rumors and be disappointed. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
Hope this helped.

My first post so I hope to use the proper format:
Filed 1/19/16 early morning via tax preparer
Accepted 1/19/16 within the hourWMR shows one bar and Tax Topic 152
Based on the IRS website’s refund schedule chart, I am hoping to receive my DD to my bank on 2/5/16.
My question is this: I frequently see posts about ‘checking with SBBT to see if they show a deposit pending’. Can anyone please educate me about what this means?
Also, I’ve seen many posts from those of us accepted on 1/19/16 that seem to indicate – perhaps too hopefully – that some are expecting to see DD’s on 1/29/16. What is your opinion about a DD of 1/29 for those of us accepted on the 19th.
Many thanks! Posting from Miami Beach.

Nothing further. -
@Nara, no bars, just the Tax Topic 152. No change. I’m hoping if I’m under random review it’s resolved quickly. My return and refund are consistent with the last several years so hopefully I get an update soon. I try not to count on my refund but this year I NEED it lol
-
Hey I filed early like the 11th or 12th and got accepted on 1/19 got an email for hr block and then wmr updated immediately. 1 bar accepted and generic message. I took a look at last year. I got accepted the day they opened for filing and my ddd was the 30th. Wmr didn’t update for me until after they had sent my money that Wednesday before my ddd. I got a text from my tax site saying it was sent. But alas the prepaid card I use held the funds until friday. This year they are advertising early dd for payroll so I’m hoping it goes for tax returns also. I have always filed online and early for the past 12 years and always have had a ddd within 10 days of acceptance except once 4 or 5 years ago I think it was there was a glitch in the system and I still had it within 3 weeks. Even if someone says they are approved with a ddd. There is no need to get hostile over it. I’m sure that’s exactly what they are trying to make people do if they are lying. Don’t give them what they want. Then there are the people telling us to manage our money better don’t depend on tax returns blah blah. I have kids and live in maine and don’t make alot. So ya. Hope everything goes smooth for all the NON mean vicious people!
-
Bars disappearing wasn’t a good thing for me last year. Didn’t get my ddd until the first wk of May. Needless to say I was devastated. I’m praying to God everything goes smoothly this yr. Don’t wanna scare you but wanted to as share my experience
-
filed 1/17 accepted 1/19 hoping for a deposit on 1/29,don’t know why,guess im in a hurry to spend it!
-
Every year for the last 4 ive had issues that hold my return up. And every year my bars disappear and it’s NEVER because I’m about to get a DDD always because I’m being manually reviewed for something. Last year was the better of the 4 because i recieved my refund in March instead of August and September from previous years. That we have received your return and it’s being processed message means there is something. It may be a minor hold up or a major depending on your situation.
-
@Nara
Bars disappearing doesn’t USUALLY mean you’re about to get a DDD. It CAN mean that, but it can also mean your return is under review or your return has been flagged for an identity theft issue. Bars can reappear the next day or several months later. -
Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available is what mine says today. I filled on the 19th and the same day it showed accepted with 1 bar and today it changed to what is stated above with no bar and tax topic 152. Did anybody else do this and I hope there is not a problem. -
MoInTX Did your bars disappear?? That usually means you will have a DDD tomorrow.
-
Filed with TT 1/19, accepted same day. Had one bar on WMR until today, now I have Tax Topic 152. Although TT says between 1/20 and 2/9, I’m not holding my breath…that’s just the 21 day window the IRS claims to average on electronic returns.

TurboTax Free EditionSo far still 1 bar on wmr with tax topic 152. I tried to see if I could get my transcripts mailed, but it said they were not available for 2015. I am hoping we see movement on wmr tonight with ddd for 1/29. I’m basing this on what happened last year. Last year I filed and was accepted on 1/22 and my refund hit my bank 1/30. I’m really hoping it works out as quickly this year. Good Luck All!

2015 filed early 01/08, not accepted til 01/31, then had ddd of 02/13. -
so I filed in 1/19 and got accepted same day only problem was that wmr was not pulling up my information and I started worrying(I had a horrible experience last year with refund) so I called TT and they assured me that irs did accept my return I checked my irs app today and now I show one bar thank God. I don’t know if TT was holding up something or it was just a coincidence
-
I filed on 1/19 @ 5:25pm and was accepted on 1/19 @ 5:29pm 1 bar on WMR. I filed using tax act. I tried to look at my status a few minutes ago on the WMR site and App both are saying “unavailable try again later” so fingers crossed they are updating the site and we can get some approval status!!! Hopefully we will be able to see some changes later today
