I’m FURIOUS

[Naela]

I was accepted 1/14 no id verify letter. And no DDD or update at all. Stuck on being processed. People who filed at the beginning of February are getting their returns. Whyyyy????

[Blah]

The people saying ‘DON’T FILE EARLY!’ have no fucking clue what they’re talking about.

[Troy]

They encourage early filing. I completely understand their system didnt open till the 28th. Every other year ive filed early I get it at the earliest possible time and since path even the earliest then. Their system of re-sequencing is nonsense. If you dont get chosen for their test batch you should be all loaded back into line as it should be. Those that get randomly pulled, get randomly pulled. Those that have issues get pulled. If you are fine and put back into line randomly or to the back of the line, that is an issue.

The IRS was called back during the shutdown FWIW. I know they were focused on getting ready for all the changes but they were there at least in some capacity.

Their system of re-sequencing is nonsense and needs changing. Im sure they will make some excuse. Also when you call you are likely talking to someone that has limited ability to access anything and has a sheet of paper telling them what to say to pander to annoyed people.

People have every right to be upset. People also have every right to be thrilled if they filed two weeks ago and are already getting a deposit. Takes some kind of person to rain on either sides parade

Yay! I just got my 5K refund deposited after waiting what seemed like FOREVER! So happy! I feel bad for those still stuck in limbo. If by now you haven’t received some kind of update on WMR you probably should call just to get an idea from an actual person instead of relying on their flawed online system. I am so glad I didnt file early because if I had then I would probably be stuck on “still processing”. God Bless everyone. I know everything will work out for you all. Just keep stalking your accounts because sometimes they deposit before WMR even updates. See you all next year!

@La

@Danielle

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣

You just gotta ignore comments like that cuz clearly some have been misinformed. How hard is it to see how many people (on this site alone) who filed early —-HAVE ALREADY recieved their refunds.
Shoot, I even got mine yesterday. 😁

Best of luck to an update for all you.

[La]

Shhh @Danielle you’re making too much sense for ole Larry boy.

[Danielle]

Pretty sure if filing early screwed things up they wouldn’t allow it.

[J-Renee]

Maybe not for most but for me, IT PAID TO FILE EARLY.
I
received my refund @ 4:38pm yesterday 2/21.
My DD was 2/22. So I received mine a day early.

Filed and Acceoted on 1/15.
Path message 2/2-2/13

Message then switched to “still being processed” on 2/14. Two day’s later on 2/16 I was approved and DD was 2/22.

Super happy I got it one day earlier on 2/21. Crazy thing is I just got an email from HR Block saying they are preparing my refund to be sent to my bank. They said it takes 3-5 days. So yes, everyone is behind.

Saturday is the magic day. Many of you will see change on 2/23.

Best of luck to all my fellow tax payers.
💰 is coming soon!!

[Nathan]

Larry, you do realize that that makes absolutely no sense right? Relatively few people filed early compared to the number of people that filed opening day. Did you know that filing early doesn’t always mean that the IRS receives your return early? Many tax preparers wait to transmit the return until opening day.

[Aly G.]

Larry I have read many things you have said and I can tell you are not a mature person. I’m sorry your feelings are so very hurt you have to lay out and call names. I really hope your life gets better man.

[DJhasMS]

USA Today says EITC/ACTC will get DDD this week.

[unpatiently waiting]

I’m unable to check my transcripts online because I don’t have some of the requirements. All I know is I’m getting a credit card just so I don’t have to go through this next year. I want my transcripts now. I did the mail one but I did it too early.

[Aly G.]

I didn’t file early because I thought I would get it early, I read the 27th so I thought there 27th. I filled early to get it out of the way. Thankfully I got a ddd of 2/22 but I wasn’t expecting it to be that soon.

[Mommajess]

Doll skin
Lies, it opened 1/28 not the beginning of February. I filed and got accepted on 1/29, I’m still waiting for a DDD as well. I’ve seen others who filed in February who are waiting as well, it’s just totally fricken random this year.

[Dollskin]

Why?
DON’T FILE EARLY. The IRS Doesn’t open until the beginning of February.

Even then, the government was shut down during January.

JUST DON’T FILE EARLY! File when they’re actually opened. It never helps to file early. Every damn year, people.

[Cityslicker149]

Same here! Accepted 1/14 with both credits. This is beyond frustrating. From what people are saying, us early filers have been pushed down to the bottom because of the shutdown smh.

[Ttcc]

@naelia
Good info. Thank you.

[CaliGyrl]

F.Y.I. It doesn’t pay to file early!!!!!! You still get processed on opening day like everyone else…!!! (Some) Just like are 21 days don’t start until the first day the IRS opens…you guys beat you’ll self up about it every time because it feels like you’ll waiting forever!!!… lol

[Marie]

Makes no sense that so many people don’t have their refunds yet!

I don’t get EITC > too much income, but I do have 2 rug-rats so I had a CTC and therefore had to wait for PATH to expire:
Filed 02/07/19
Accepted 02/07/19
DDD TODAY!! 02/21/19

Completely unfair that people who filed a FULL month before me haven’t received their refunds yet.

[Jelly]

Filed: 1/18
Accepted: 1/22
Path Act: 2/2
2/16 Updated to “We received your tax return and it is being processed.”
Unable to access my transcripts

So I just got off the phone with a Tax Advoate, one of my jobs didn’t report my income!!! How does a job not report your income from working for them. I’m totally lost. I can’t even get a Tax Advocate until after Feb. 27th. I’m super stressed!!😥😪

[Menu2]

Same here😢😢my sister got a text earlier hers is being put into her account, i filed 4 days before her, what a kick in the pants😒😒

[Frustrated]

@delia I filed 2/7 and transcripts at n/a, so I haven’t even began processing yet have I?

[Delia]

Never file that early because you dont even count as anything in the IRS system. A lot of early filing gets shuffled around if you haven’t try checking your record to see if you even have transcripts available if not you haven’t even hit the main file and it’s still like you haven’t filed at all yet

[Denny]

I agree, I filed 1/10 and accepted 1/22…..I’m still sitting on processing…while almost everyone I know already either got there money or has a DDD. Its fucking bullshit!

[ray c]

TRUTH

[Kevin]

@Ray C

Please keep that stupid bullshit out of here, that type of stupidity is contagious…

[ray c]

the Pelosi shut down. TY Nancy. WE ACTUALLY NEED OUR CRUMBS!!!

[Keith]

Same here!
Filed 1/25. Accepted 1/28.
One bar then path message til last saturday.
Now ” we have your return and it is being processed” no bars, no codes, no DDD! But why since ive seen so many ppl say they have DD already and claimed same credits. EiTC , ACT

[Naela]

Same!!! I’m all messed up waiting for this but it wasn’t her fault. Government shutdown fucked it up for all of us.

[ray c]

naelabee…I also been hearing the feb 27th date a lot on here for pathers…lets say this, If they don’t give me me funds til then…we cant make it. NEVER EVER HAD TO WAIT THAT LONG. We will be in a world of hurt if its next week. Car payments will be past due..everythings gonna be all effed up. Late fee’s in the bank…the works. HELL LOL..I may have to take out a damn loan just to float by til then. With my health problems, and the bills that go along with it, I cant handle all this. We need relief NOW damn it.

[Naela]

The IRS woman that I just spoke to said that my DDD is not viewable to them but she can see that my tax return was excepted and approved already. The people that are seeing that their refund is being processed your return was already excepted and approved The payments are going out in cycles every day

[Jimzzz]

I was accepted 1/22 and got my refund today both credits🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[Ryan]

20190405
Filed 1/14
Accepted 1/21
Processing date 2/11
PATH message until 2/16

[Cody]

I don’t care when my refund comes. If I don’t get it I’ve already decided I’m going to tell my bill collectors to suck it and stop caring.

[Naela]

I’m on hold now with irs. Let’s see if they have anything to say about it.

[ray c]

great point guys, YE…IT MAKES NO SENSE to encourage us to file early when apparently there is no advantage whatsoever to it!!! We are the ones waiting the longest!! IDIOTIC to say the least. Never again.

[ray c]

ttcc…man it sucks. SORRY. If your like me, you just want this tax season to be over. Most of my refund is going on the kids needs and a HUGE PILE OF BILLS. Not much will be left over lol. Seems unjust or cruel to almost punish folks with dependents and make them wait the longest.

[Ttcc]

I was accepted the 22 and I’m still waiting too. 😞

[ray c]

naela…I AGREE!!! I been waiting since 1/23. ITS JUST DUMB. Seems completely random.

[Mahalobeauty]

Sorry you have to go through this! A few years back I believe 2015 tax season, my husband got the Id verify code. We NEEDED the money desperately back then too. Basically had to call the IRS daily to figure out what the hell was going on and eventually someone helped us and got him verified before the letter came in the mail. I think around mid March we got our refund 🙄

[Christy]

I agree, I filed in Jan and still nothing. Are we being punished for filing early even though they encourage us to do so?

[Naela]

Literally nothing makes sense.

[Troy]

Im with you. A day later on the filing but in the same exact boat. Not happy whatsoever. I mean Im glad people are getting their money but it sucks that its entering week 6 (well not that long from when the season officially opened but still). UGH

[Nicari]

Not all of em. F/A 2/4 still no nothing. Tired of typing tryna figure out😒

[rachel]

i filed later accepted 2/13 still on 1 bar and tax topic 152 and no updates at all i seen people that filed after me get dd , so im so confused this year
