My refund deposited Monday mid morning. No pending, checked at 8a, nothing.
Checked at noon, Refund posted and funds available in my account (CU).
My DDD was for 2/25(Thurs), also my State(AZ) finally approved just now and a DDD.
WMR is still at 1 Bar for both my husband and myself.

@AtkinsonK, I think those dates are related to the two economic impact payments.

See everybody keeps talking about codes, but how the heck do I know what my code is if it doesn’t show that I have a return. I just checked 2019 and I was an 05. So maybe that’s what I am? I dunno….gahhh why does taxes have to be so dang complicated,
-
@brittlane08 and @willis I have the same situation. It’s just because your returned hasn’t completed processing. If you are a weekly we will probably see and update in the morning.
-
@brittlane08 You are not alone. I am having same situation.

Sorry – I’m posting this in a couple of places…
To anyone who has seen a credit pending in their bank accounts or prepaid cards: do you also have an 846 code on your transcripts?

filed taxslayer on 1/18, federal was recieved 2/13, WMR still stalled at 1 bar. I claimed credit and stimulus It still says N/A under return transcript & record of account transcript for 2020 but account and wage & income is there for 2020. My cycle code was 290 Additional tax assessed 20201605 on 05-04-2020 and different cycle code 290 Additional tax assessed 20205302 on 01-18-2021. Any assistance?
-
@elled81 you were probably resequenced.
-
Filed 1/23, accepted 2/11. Still no DDD. No special circumstances. WTH?
-
A “pather” is someone who falls under the set of laws known as the path (protection against tax hikes) act which, passed in 2015, requires the irs to hold until Feb 15 returns for anyone claiming Earned Income credit or additional child tax credit. While this is irritating for us, the act also secures the future of these credits for those eligible and is really necessary in keeping the credits refundable and of relevant amounts in the future

Hey everyone, since some people are stating that there may be a delay for those of us who used the Lookback Option (used 2019 agi to determine credits), can people who get deposits or DDD please mention whether they used this option? Thanks

Well, I finally spoke with someone else at HRB… Here is the main portion of the conversation.. essentially they “sent” my return to the irs on feb 10th and then it came back for review on the 14th ( which they didn’t tell me when i chatted with them on the 15th) … i cant make any changes and so i have to wait for their “Second level” support to reach out in 5days. Probably going to find a new place to file next year….

I did want to mention that when I looked at the time of filing, the IRS website regarding EITC/ACTC and PATH Act restrictions read differently than it currently reads! They updated on 02/01/21. Previously, the site made no mention of the 02/15/21 earliest-issue date, nor did it say anything regarding an early filer DD date of 02/22. I find these changes very very encouraging.

So what does it mean if you were accepted prior to the actual acceptance date the IRS said. For example I was accepted (still at 1 bar as of this morning) on 2/10/21 and I understand that the IRS wasn’t accepting until 2/12/21. Is that the test batch people often speak of?

@lolar I have checked with H&R Block on the website and it just says pending on their end. I did chat with a rep at HR block yesterday and they couldn’t see any reason why I’m not accepted yet.
the WMR tool tells me that my information is not found. and no activity on my transcripts as of this morning.
Its really weird as I’ve always gotten an acceptance pretty quickly after they open for processing.
-
-
-
@easytechguy have you logged onto H&R Block to see if you needed to adjust anything? That happened to us and once we fixed it and resubmitted it, they accepted it two days later. Also check WMR to see if they accepted it or not. There have been a few people saying they never got the email or text of acceptance but showed 1 bar on WMR
-

Filed 1/15 with H&R Block

Filed early January (14th maybe?) with TT
Accepted on 2/9
Have a date on my transcripts of “20210605”

Last 2 years the date on my transcripts matched my deposit date exactly.

E-filed:
TT 1/18
EITC+CTC
Fees paid upfrontI know PATH still releases 2/15, but man is that 2/12 date cutting it close to all the PATH deposits.
Now the other people will get a small taste of what young families deal with. I hope everyone has a smooth acceptance/DDD transition.I’m a weekly, so I know I’m looking at a release around Thurs 2/18 and a Deposit of Wed 2/24 at the very soonest, if all goes smoothly…because we all know everything is going sooo smoothly.

I was too stressed out about the Issues the advance accts caused with the stimulus last spring that I didn’t look into one this year.
I even paid my fees upfront to avoid any “loan product” category that’d involve TT routing my $s to STBTG.
I really needed that $. The next 2 wks are gonna go by really slow.
-
@steven7960 did you claim CTC/EITC?
That makes sense of the 02/25 DDD despite your early filing.. I also had a DDD of 02/26/20 but it posted to my CU acct the morning before.
Its not impossible to be accepted a week before in a test batch but if you’re a Pather you still get a DDD until after 2/14.
-
Last year tax season started on January 27th. I filed my taxes on January 22nd it got accepted on January 23rd which was 4 days before tax season officially started. And i got my refund advance literally moments after it was accepted. I was hoping it would be the same this year too. last year i got my federal tax return on February 25th which was almost a whole month after. I just hope i get the refund advance soon because i really need it.
-
I received an Advance Card through TT in 2020 and remember that you don’t get the Advance deposit until the IRS ACCEPTS the return. First it says RECEIVED, then in a day or so they’ll ACCEPT the form (mine usually changes the same day), then you get the advance.
Right now, instead of late Jan, the IRS will begin accepting returns on 2/12. Later when you get processed and approved you get a DDD for your tax refund.
-
Hi everyone…another year gone by! I don’t dare early file; had 1 bad experience so I hold off until mid Feb. Looking to file on 2/15. I figure that will give the IRS a few days to accept returns starting on 2/12, and work out any huge bugs before I hit “Submit” for mine.

@Jim, you’re absolutely correct when directing criticism towards the IRS or any Government agency. Taxation is theft anyway. But the simple fact they can’t get their shit together each year plus the bureaucracy is utter bullshit. The government couldn’t run a lemonade stand efficiently, they’re not going to run your money they confiscate any better.
-
My point is, the IRS deserves every bit of criticism and impatience directed towards them. Maybe not the guys at the bottom reviewing returns, but, like most other government entities, pockets are being lined, systems being milked, and it’s sure not the taxpayers who benefit.
-
The fact of the matter is that the IRS is a bloated, dysfunctional bureaucracy. There is absolutely no reason why, in 2021, they cannot simply send these returns within hours of processing. There is absolutely no good reason why they only process electronic deposits and paper checks one day per week each. There’s surely not any delay on them accepting money, now is there?
-
I mean … No offense @Carol but I disagree. There aren’t a ton of changes, there are a few. The IRS has been doing electronic returns since 1986. Unless there is a problem flagged by the system, human eyes never see your return. The process is fully automated. And to make changes, they don’t have to reprogram anything. Their software has come a long way from dial up modems 25 years ago. It is indeed almost as simple as changing a few parameters and flipping a switch.
-
-
Funny isn’t it? The year we need this money the most we are delayed. Of course.
-
-
-
I’m thinking it will be this week or the beginning of next for the advances to start flowing through. I think they are pressing pause because they didn’t know when the 3rd stimulus package was going to come out, and not everyone has received their 2nd stimulus or their 2019 taxes. I think even TT is backlogged.
-
-
why is it taking so lng for the IRS to recieve the tax returns so that we can get ur refund advance already. Because every other year it would get accepted on the next business day and the refund advance would be available immediately. and that was before the tax season officially started. but now its already been over a week and im worried because i need that money literally yesterday :/
-
Hello,
I did already file on 01/24. Let’s see how everything unfolds
No EIC, but I do have child tax credit and education credits -
Filed 1/29/2021 with HRB, MFJ with 1 dependent. Still haven’t been accepted. We file early every year this is the longest we have gone without being accepted.
-
Does anyone else know if the IRS will recieve tax returns before the season opens? Because i use turbotax and i get a refund advance every year and last year the season opened on 01/27/20 and i filed on 01/22/20 and i got my refund advance on 01/23/20 because the irs recieved it. And i need money rn so im hoping its possible again. i filed on jan 30th so does anyone know if turbotax refund advance can be early like last year?

Last year, the IRS released a schedule for the test batches prior to the opening of the season, and it was two weeks before. That would set estimated target dates of 2/1-2/2 and 2/8/-2/9 for batches to be run with an opening of 2/12/21.
-
not yet. Here’s hoping! lol..Would be nice to be in the first test batch. Was thinking the same thing.
