So who is in this group. Because it seems we are the ones held for some reason.

Hi All:
I filed on February 26 and was accepted within the hour and had bars and tt 152 by that evening on WMR site. Never received any update and then on March 14th, my bars and tt went away with a message that my return was still being processed and my refund info would be updated when available.

I have been filing my return electronically for years – no problems. I did make more money this year and bought a house, but I could not figure out why my refund was taking so long.
Even though the 21st day was rapidly approaching, I decided to wait until next Monday to call.

Today I received a notice in the mail from the IRS that I needed to file the insurance forms for Obamacare with my return, and that they could not process my refund without this information. Of course, I did not receive this form from Covered California…..figures!

All I can say is be patient….and let them contact you. They will let you know if there is a problem.

I never received transcripts. I just waited it out the week. and just like everyone else that says the same thing the check will be mailed. So something screwed up our returns and it is something we all have in common it seems. So whatever happened when the system crashed effected us all.

@Drzoo

Congrats!! Was that update provided by WMR?

I’m hoping to get good news in the next couple days or so. Just out of curiosity, did you order your return transcript by phone or irs website?

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 2/13

Why 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’ve been able to order my transcripts since 2/5 & nothing. No bars, TT, etc.
filed the 29th.

Lets explain something about transcripts. It will only tell you if they have processed your return or not. So if you can not get your current year transcript it is not been processed.

This means nothing other then they have not looked at it.

Now if you can get your current year transcript then they have at least looked at it. This then will either say one of these three.

Blank.. Not accepted and nothing more then that. and it was a waist of your time getting it.
Have a DDD date.. But this will also show up in the WMR with in a few days.
Have a Code. meaning you need to do something. Call them to verify etc

So what does a transcript do?? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !!! It will not get your return early and if anything may even flag you because of your excessive attempts to get it to be looked at as a possible case of fraud. And presto now its even latter then it would have been.

This is why I think this is not some mean joke they are playing and more that they had issues in getting us processed in time. I read someplace they took in way to many returns prior to the 19th and it overloaded the schedule. and in turn they just are not able to get ours done so they pushed us to keep up with those that filled later. Nothing for me has changed I have been doing it same way for years at same company and in fact this years return is less then the other years. And it is the same common thread to all of us that lost bars on the 6th. We still have tax code 152 posted. not a 9001 or other code meaning bad things. So not going to sweat it yet. Yes it would be nice to have my money but ehh its the federal government you expect them to be on time or do anything perfect? come on….

@Drzoo

I am literally in the same boat.

Filed 1/16
Accepted 1/19
was stuck on one bar forever and they
disappeared 2/6 – Tax Topic 152
was able to order an account transcript but not return transcript with my old address.
Called after 21 days and was told it needed an additional 1-2 weeks for processing.

Still unable to order return transcript.

I would wait till at least Monday but if they are not changing the tax topic and telling you to call then they are most likely just stuck and can not make the processing time of your return and that’s why the bars went away. As for me I am waiting the full week ” Sunday would be for me” past the point of my bars going on the night of the 6th away and then call on Monday the 15th. It basically gives them time to fix their mistake and or filter out why my bars disappeared so when I call they are not just guessing.

Filed and accepted Jan 24
Turbo tax
Been stuck at one bar ever since then
Yesterday my bars disappeared only see tax topic 152 and info on the left and msg saying your still being processed a date will be provided when available. Anyone else get this msg?
I used my fiancé bank for my deposit but I’m also a joint person on his account
could this be why I haven’t gotten refund
He’s already received his two days ago
Turbo tax site says I should receive dd by feb 14
I’m going to call irs today to make sure I’m good
Or should I just give it till Monday to see what happens ?

[Anonymous]

So anyone actually have a true update not just hoping they are getting a answer? I mean like you bars came back with a DDD yet? Personally I am waiting till Sunday morning to see what happens to give it a full week.

To many people completely losing it and like it even says ” Just because your bars are missing doesn’t mean anything” And if you were being reviewed or audited they would let you know by a tax topic on the WMR.

Yes everyone needs their money we know that but blowing up the IRS phone lines is only making everyone wait all the longer because your drawing system resources away to answer simple questions you can actually look up and they do not have any answers other then Guesses to give you until there is a problem.

Everyone needs to smoke a bowl or get a drink they are to wound up over this like it is some conspiracy to piss off random people.

[Shantal]

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

[Miamigirl]

And the best part is that not one person I spoke to over there knew why. Said they would mail me a letter on the 25th! Really??? The 25th? If there’s something wrong why would you wait til the 25th of February to notify me? Tell me now so we can get it resolved.

[Miamigirl]

Same here. Filed the 15th, accepted on the 19th and bars and TT went missing Saturday morning. Called yesterday and they said to allow an additional 7 days…. Call back today and now I’m under manual review allow 6-8 weeks. This is straight BS!

[Taramg5]

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

[Anonymous]

I think everyone is freaking a bit to much. The IRS doesn’t have a special system that says this person is getting audited and this person needs ID by what is showing on your WMR. The only way to find out is going to be waiting till tomorrow “Or the Day After” and call them or get your transcripts sent out. Either way it sucks but it is what we have to deal with and blowing up their phones will not change what is being done on your return. Wait till Thursday and then you have a solid foot to stand on when you ask WTF is going on.

Or just sit back and watch our grand government at work doing its finest ability to blur the facts of how effective they are. And on the ID thing isn’t that way we had to use a 5 digit code to file with TT?

[john]

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.

[Tan]

It tells u IF your refund has been processed vs is processed througg irs tool. Found this out just messing around today BTW I’m in NC it asks for the SSN n amount plus gives helpful info!!!

[Anonymous]

Had one Bar till the morning of the 6th then they went away. But they left tax topic 152. I have been able to order transcripts but not received yet. And have not bothered to call till after the 21 days passes. No reason to bother till you can have a legit complaint or question why.
