There is Always a Test Batch with Turbo users each year for the IRS to test its information flow. Sadly….. starting two years ago, this is the folks that the ITS is targeting for fraudulent returns as well. We always used Turbo for the past 15+ years, but this past ear we got audited along with 15 million other folks (mostly Turbo early test batch filers) And after two ID verifications, a Tax Advocate, we finally got our refund in November. The advocate also stated this year shall be worse, and yet again, Turbo users are targeted. I’ll never file early again.

Kathryn Robinson, you filed on the 19th but what date was your return accepted?

[Debbie T]

I was accepted on the 14th. Could that 9001 message on all the returns that were accepted on Jan. 14-17th mean we are possibly in the test batch for that week?

Are there any benefits to a test batch? I’m not in either of those dates I filed on the 19th lol
