Still pending. IRS has not even accepted return.
It’s a waiting game now…

[WTF]

@Neek…..Yes code 846 Refund issued

[Courtney]

Code 846 is your deposit date. It’s a good thing I filed on 1/27… transcripts updated at 1am friday morning. When I woke up account transcript was there with a code 846 for a deposit of 2/5. I am a weekly

[JW]

As of this morning still on 1 bar, only movement was account transcript but it was blank. Hoping that we will have approved tomorrow morning.

[Neek]

@WTF It says code 846??

[Sarah]

Accepted the 1-13. Still one bar as of Friday…disappointing because so many people who filed after already got theirs.

[Amy]

i also looked at my last years accepted date of 2/22 and i received my refund the following friday 3/1

[Chrissy]

Filed on January 4th, got rejected on 1-13. Resubmitted on 1-13 and received and accepted on 1-14.. no patiently.. 🤦‍♀️ No credits just no plain return. Got accepted during 1st batch now still on 1st bar.. wth?? When its going to get approved and i will know my ddd??? Im seeing everyone else getting their ddd and im still waiting???!!

[ThatOhioLady]

I filed 2018 taxes in July 2019 last year. Got an extension with no issues. It still took three weeks to get my refund. Turbo tax. Fees from refund. Posted in my Woodforest account around 3pm on a Thursday. EIC & address change.

[Amy]

@whatever,

i totally will loop you in with tomorrow/saturdays update.
i don’t have much luck with taxes but i claimed my mom this year and had to create an IP PIN number this year for her.
so im guessing that’s the delay. Turbo tax is stating that the 21 day mark is 2/13/20 so i hope to get it before then.

[Whatever]

@amy we are literally in the same boat. I found out why I never get the funds early, for me is due to identify theft pin. I’m always in the following week’s release no matter what and that makes sense. Hopefully, we will see movement tomorrow 1.31 or Saturday 2.1

Please post here and let me know what happens for you. I will do the same as well. Let’s hope we get dat money girl!

[Michael Killinger]

Filed on Jan 9th, 2020. They were accepted on Jan 13th, 2020. No EITC or ACTC but used itemized deductions due to medical expenses and energy efficiency upgrades to my home. Still WMR is sitting on accepted with TT 152 and no DDD shown. I am hoping it is not due to my energy efficient upgrades since Freetaxusa.com did not ask for the physical address where the upgrades were made. For the past 5 years my returns have been accepted early with the test batches and always were refunded in less than 3 days after the ‘official’ IRS posted acceptance dates.

[Amy]

i filed on 1/22 and was accepted 1/23.
still on received on where is my refund no dates yet.
crossing my fingers i get it next week.

[Chandler]

My refund got accepted January 13th but I still didnt get no date m ok nes say still processing. Mines was straight 0 single and all.

[Bitcoin]

@ gene the taxpayer you sir are an idiot and clearly have no idea what your talking about transcripts update on the backend before the front end of wmr you pleb

[Bitcoin]

@watever agreed lmao accepted with everyone else got the hammer looks like the IRS accepted more returns then they are willing to actually process if you made the cut you got a DDD if you didn’t back of the line with everyone that gets accepted next week smh

[Julie]

@whatever

Yes, it’s frustrating! I was accepted the 13th , (filed with Taxslayer), no dependents, no credits, simple return. All my account transcript shows is 000, no return filed, with an “as of Feb 10th” date showing. I don’t get it either.

[Whatever]

Look at all these smug people with their dd for 1.29.20
Who had there taxes accepted during the second batch like me. Well I got mine accepted 1.23.20 at 10:04am nonpathing or whatever it is called. Where is my dd for 1.29.20? I sware it makes me so peeved that people get things served to them so fast and I’m literally always waiting.

Anyways complaining is done. Congratulations to the 1.29.20 dd. Mumbles under my breath where a dd can go.

[Patois]

Two bars today! DD to be sent 1/29!

[April]

Filed 1/21, accepted 1/22, deposit date 1/29. 😁

[Jenna]

Filed mine a little over a week ago, was accepted as part of the test batch and have a direct deposit date of January 29th.

Keep in mind test batches are luck of the draw and the overwhelming majority of people won’t get theirs processed until at least the 27th.

[Bellecap]

Filing: Single no dependents and no EIC.
Filed 1/14 Accepted 1/21.
2 bars as of today with a DD date for 1/29, quickest I’ve ever received DD after acceptance!

[Derrick]

PATH is the law that requires the IRS to issue refunds after Feb 15th if someone is claiming EITC or ACTC. Does not apply to the standard CTC.

[JC]

Just checked mine after seeing the posts about having two bars and DD of 1/29 and mine is showing the same. I filed mine on 1/18.

[Melissa]

I have 2 bars on WMR with DD of 1/29/20

[Kgwinn]

Filed 1/15, accepted 1/21. No credits. No transcripts as of yesterday, then everything updated this morning. DDD of 1/29. Yay!

[Gene taxpayer]

Blah blah blah transcripts don’t mean a thing. Waste of time.

[Gene taxpayer]

Idgaf how early you file or how much hope you have that you will get your refund early. If you claim EIC or CTC you are not getting that money until late February. You can always hope but I’ll give you some advice! Hope in one hand $hit in the other and see which one fills up first.

[Tiffany W]

@ tiffany w

Did you go to IRS website and order your transcript online?

If so, it should say a processing date and a tax code.

[tiffany w]

Filed 1/18 with TT accepted 1/21 with EITC. Can someone explain how they found out they were tests or where they found their date on their transcript?

[Harley]

We filed with Tax Slayer on Sunday and it says accepted. I haven’t really followed up on anything tho. I figure I’ll get when I get it.

[Tiffany W]

Wait………..Is Tax Topic 152, Refund Information on the get refund status website the same as Path?

[Tiffany W]

@ Stressed

Its not ready yet probably.

[Stressed]

Can anyone breakdown why the 2019 transcripts are blank? Like there’s no date or any info. I filed like early Jan, no kids no eic. Plz any info would help thx

[razor sharp]

what is an “pather”? pardon my ignorance in this subject

[Melissa]

I filed on 1/17/2020 was accepted on 1/21/2020 and my transcripts have code 846 with DD of 1/29/2020. I have a no child credits or EIC.

[Kay]

@PF what day was your Ddd on once accepted last year with EIC

[Liz11]

Efiled 1/18 with TT and still pendung on both Federal and State. Prior years I’ve been accepted usually within hours, max 1 day….

[PF]

I filed with eztaxreturn.com on Jan 16th. Not accepted by Feds or State yet. Last year I was in the test batch but had EIC so I had to wait anyway. I don’t have it this year but apparently didn’t get in the test batches. :( I file with eztaxreturn.com every year.

[Michael]

I filed on the 13th and have not been accepted yet. Usually I’m accepted with in a day or to but the irs site says my information don’t match

[Mrsschmitty722]

@raymon70
You’ll see your refund after Feb 15th. No PATHer will see it prior.

[Neek]

@Kristen ok it still would help when your ddd is provided to us gives us more hope lol.

[RayC]

I am a pather. Just got accepted this afternoon jan 22nd. Filed yesterday afternoon. I AM JAZZED! I think even though I AM a pather, I could see my refund hit the bank slightly earlier than feb 15. APPARENTLY I AM IN THE 2ND TEST BATCH.

[Kristen]

@Neek, no I’m not. Have always just had a simple return, no EIC, PATH, etc.

[Neek]

@Kristen are you a pather ?

[Kristen]

@DB Some tax filing services send returns early for the IRS’s test batches. They have test batches to assure there are no gliches for the tax filing season. Sometimes the people in the test batches will get their deposits early, and sometimes it can get held up if there are gliches. I’ve been in a test batch twice. Once in 2017 when my refund got delayed until March, and then once last year where I got my refund within 3 weeks of being accepted. It’s just a waiting game!

[Kyler]

I filed on 1/18 and still no acceptance
I called TT and spoke to a very helpful lady who said that the people who aren’t getting accepted yet may be due to some small details like similar last names, same birthdates, or even as small as phone numbers being very similar to someone else. She did mention that there’s a very good possibility that everyone who has filed early will get their acceptance before the end of the work week. Hope this helps

[Melissa]

I filed with Free tax USA on 1/17/2020 and was accepted 1/21/2020. I have no child credit or EIC. 1 bar on IRS wheres my refund.

[Mrsschmitty722]

I filed with TT on 1/17. Just checked and have not been accepted yet. Im a PATHer so I’ll be waiting until after the 15th.
Last year I filed on the 19th was accepted on the 21at and had my DDD for Feb 22, but it was DD on the 21st.

For the person asking how are those that have been accepted already being accepted since the IRS doesn’t “open” until the 27th, the returns are in the “test group” AKA HUB Testing.
The IRS selects some earlier filer returns to be in HUB testing prior to the opening of the season. To test the software for any issues.
Its just luck I’d the draw if your return is selected. Hope that helps.

There’s another test batch next week!! Yay!

The IRS has announced that the 2020 tax filing season will begin on January 27, 2020. Tax preparation companies will be participating in the controlled launch of the e-file system (HUB Testing) with the IRS between the dates of Monday, January 13 – Wednesday, January 15 and Tuesday, January 21 – Thursday, January 23. During this time, tax preparation companies will be sending batches of tax returns to the IRS for processing.

Assuming it’ll move on to accepted on the 27th…curious. Keep us updated.
