Tommy
Well Hopefully everyone Gets There’s Soon. I’m not to worried. At least it’s Processed. I got a feeling mine is waiting on IRS. Because of the actc and the eic. So they may be waiting for the irs to get done with mine. Who knows.
RahYes, accepted. Almost a month ago.
TommyMine says processed 1/29 no refund issued yet. I haven’t read anything or anywhere about Arkansas waiting until the last week of February to send them out. But Last year I got it with in 2 weeks of being processed. I filed the 12 of January like every year. Same stuff nothing different.
@Rah was it accepted?
RahMine still says no return found.
@AB same here says processed on 1/29 not sent yet.
ABNo changes, just says processed. (just wanted to update in case anyone is following lol)
ABMine showed it was processed yesterday but says the refund hasn’t been issued yet.
@AB I filed 1/23/19 accepted 1/28/19. Last year I had my state money direct deposit on 2/13/18. So hopefully it wont be end of Feb. like they are claiming.
ABFor the people who show that their state has processed, do you mind me asking when did you file and what day did it show processed? Mine keeps saying no return on file and it’s bugging me lol
RickI just looked and last year I got my state refund on Feb 27th, so i’m expecting the same this year. :(
Arkansas used to be so quick with issuing refunds in years past. Oh well.Wow that’s crazy but I think they will start issuing before end of Feb.
BettyI called today was told they will not start issuing refunds till the last week of February
AnnHas ark started release money yet
RahIt took 5-6 weeks after that message last year. For me.
EARC I got the same message today.
This is my 1st time in AR, and wondering how long after this processed message until the refund is sent.RCI got this message : “Your return was processed on 1/29/2019 5:57:15 PM but your refund has not been issued. Please allow additional time for your refund to be issued. Identity Theft has been a growing problem nationally and the Department is taking additional measures to ensure tax refunds are issued to the correct individuals. These additional measures may result in tax refunds not being issued as quickly as in past years.”
Is this a good or bad message?ABGot the message about no record found for my SSN. Neat…. Maybe next week, I guess.
RichardSame here. Got ‘no record’ the very first time, and then ‘too many attempts’. Same thing after 24 hours
RahI am. It either gives the too many attempts message or no record found.
ABIt’s that time again… lol, I’m over the Arkansas website. Any time I try to check refund status, I get the error that I’ve exceeded my attempts blah blah blah, like even on my first attempt. i just want to know they’ve received it. Anyone else having this issue?
Rah👋🏻
CskReceived a text the 14th says my refund was released on the 13th and I should get it in 7 to 10 days. So now just waiting for it to hit my emerald card.
hopefloatsinKYNothing here either.. been well over 5 weeks
RahStill waiting. It’s been over 6 weeks since it was processed.
RahStill waiting…
my atap account just zeroed out so I am assuming i should get the text tonight or tomorrow and a deposit a few days from now. So finally some movement.
still nothing on my end either, been well over a month now. I’ll give it till monday and then I am calling.
FoodieCWOK…so I just called and spoke to a nice lady named Jada. She pulled up my information and advised me that tax season started 1-29 and anything filed before then was not being recognized or released in their system. Now, this makes no sense to me as H&R Block program knew that and held my return for filing on 1-29 even though I completed it 1-26. But, Jada told me she would forward mine on for review and that process would take about a week and then it would be released a couple of days after that. My suggestion is for anybody that is still waiting to call as yours may somehow be hung up in the system for some reason. My hold time was only about 10 minutes. I hope you all get Jada or somebody else that is as nice as she is.
AdamProcessed 1/25, still no refund. One friend was processed a day or two later and got his last week. Another friend’s processed at the beginning of February and got hers around 2 weeks ago.
Makes sense.
RickGot the email last night, deposit this morning. Hope the rest of you get yours soon. See you next year!
RahProcessed 01-23-18. Still waiting…
@FoodieCW Honestly I am starting to think that they just throw them all in a hat and start processing them as they pull the darn things out. I fled and was accepted on 1/22 and I am still waiting . My boyfriend filed 1/26 but didn’t get accepted until 1/29 but just got his text this morning that stated his refund was sent on 2/25. He is getting a check so whenever it gets here he will have his finally.
SamReceived text at 8pm that my refund was issued 2/25 and should have in 7-10 Days. Filed on 2/1.
Z.t.gPosted on 1/23 and over a month later and no news, deploying soon and I need the money for my family, I hate this state, just venting a bit :(
FoodieCWSo, do they not issues refunds in the order of processing? I submitted on 1-26 and was processed on 1-30. I have received nothing. I think I saw where Lioness was processed on 2-1 and she received on 2-24. Anybody have ideas on this? Also, about 3 weeks after I was processed I signed up for the text alert. Do you guys think that may also cause a delay?
Still nothing but the Boyfriends positive balance is gone now, so he should get an update that it has mailed. Mine however is still sitting there….mocking me.
@lioness not that federal was that much for me this year but I totally get ya, it is 70% gone in two days lol. On the bright side a lot of necessary crap that has been in neglect was taken care of and being broke was worth lightening the burden.
Woke up this morning to my state….it’s gone now!
@Lioness YAY glad you got a date. I am still waiting lol at this point it I’m like when it gets here it gets here.
@Rick Last year it was 9 days after the positive balance was gone that I got my deposit if that helps at all.
@Singlemom in Ar Arkansas does not allow fees to be collected from your refund for tax preparation. I have no idea why but they send a paper check when you elect to have fees removed from your federal return.RickStill no e-mail or deposit. I looked at my atap tax account, and the positive balance is gone.
SingleMom in ARWhy are some refunds DD and some in checks? My federal was DD.
SingleMom in ARGot an email this morning. Refund issues on 2/21. I got my federal yesterday too, so I believe they are in cahoots. Lol
AdamStill waiting on state. Filed 1/31, accepted 2/1.
Just got my message saying the funds was issued on 02/21 and to allow 5 to 7 days….blah blah blah….Hope my money is in the bank tomorrow!
@AB that is great, have fun and don’t spend it all in one place ;)
I got my federal, half spent on bills and what not and the rest is in savings awaiting it siblings from the state lol. Still nothing from state for me or the boyfriend.FoodieCWWell, I hope I didn’t just flub up. I just now signed up for the text alert. I am wondering if that gives them something else to research for identity theft (making sure # matches up to person) and will delay it even more. I hope not. As somebody else pointed out, my information has been the same for the last 22 years. Happy and jealous for AB today. 😜
ABThe deposit was in my account this morning for state and federal both. Thank goodness! It’s been very nice to have others to discuss our situations with. I appreciate it! Good luck and I hope you get that text soon!!!
Rick@Lioness Yeah same, no state for me either!
Got my federal….don’t have state.
@AB congrats let us know when you get it, were still waiting but that gives some hope.
ABJust got my text saying my refund was issued 2/20 and allow 7-10 days to receive. Finally!!!
Dang guys my cousin hasn’t received hers yet either. I don’t know whats going on but this is insane. I’ll be back to check on you guys tomorrow maybe you will have double deposits, that would be great.
I know I called just a few mins ago and was told three to four weeks. I explained that 4 weeks was up for me yesterday as I filed and was accepted the 22nd of January. I agree with you both I never feel relived until it is all done.
I can’t complain at least I will have some cash to do some birthday stuff this weekend.ABMy federal will be there tomorrow too, but I’m with you. I want both and I want to be done with taxes for the year lol!!!!!! guess i’ll wait another couple of days before I call and harass them.
I’m suppose to receive my federal tomorrow but I’m not going to be satisfied until I have received both!
I talked to a lady that said that they plan to release majority of the funds this week and to keep checking back. I told her that mine had been processed since the 1st , how long exactly is the wait? She said typically 3 to 4 weeks…….ughhhhh this is my 4th week where’s my money?
sunriselopsI messaged yesterday and was told we are on the last of the security check and check back in a week or so. I totally don’t understand because our information hasn’t changed in 15 plus years!!
AB@Lioness I’m on the verge of calling myself! Trying to be patient and not though lol. Keep me posted on what you find out!
Ok …something is wrong! I still don’t have anything, I’ve been trying to stay calm but I’m calling!
No magic message yet…..fingers crossed though
ABNothing for me today yet either, I’m holding out hope for this evening since most people I know that got the text got it in the evening. My bank doesn’t show federal but then again, it never shows pending anything. it will just be in the bank the day they receive it and will say pending but will let me spend it still lol.
Nothing today so far but it is still early. I can see my federal pending in my bank but of course they will hold it till like 2am on the 22nd.
I am more confused than worried, I know they are done with the darn thing because I owed the state 36 bucks and my return was for 414 and when I log into the ATP I see a positive balance of 378. Meaning they already even took the offset off the total. I figured they would hold them until the 15th like federal was doing, however I have seen friends and family with the same credits who filed after me already spent theirs lol.
I mean it is not like I am scared that I am not going to get it, I just like to monitor the process to make sure if I need to take action I can in a timely manner.It’ll probably be Wednesday when we see our state
ABI’d be less impatient if they’d just give me a date… It’s the unknown, that bothers me. but we know they won’t be issuing any today. so guess we’ll see what tomorrow holds.
I seriously don’t see how it would help, seems to be doing more harm than helping. I can imagine that it has increased the already high call volume resulting in more hours and more staff.
I’m wondering if this new tax law is actually helping them catch people or giving them more time to play with our money? I mean, have they caught anyone yet?
ABI’m not patient. Lol
@sunriselops Honestly I don’t think they update on weekends, we all know how cheap Arkansas can be. However I am not 100% on that.
Looks like we won’t be seeing anything now until after the weekend and Holiday. Oh well, here is to holding out for next week. I will start calling if I don’t update next week because I will be at 4 weeks on the 20th. I feel oddly patient this year…
DDD for 22nd on federal also….
sunriselopsDoes anyone know when they update the Where’s my refund? Do they update on the weekends?
RickGot a DDD for the 22nd as well for federal, so that’s good news. Sucks that AR is taking so long though.
ABNothing. Did get federal DDD of the 22nd also, so that’s a plus
nothing this morning changed for me either, what did they do process a few and then take a vacation?
On the other hand I got my federal DDD this morning in the update as expected for 2/22.Nothing nothing NOTHING
