Mine just says being processed. Mine changed last Friday from received to being processed
Mine also updated yesterday to we are reviewing your return. So yes I hope that it changes overnight or I wonder if it it going to be like another week? But I have read where due to the people of Iowa speaking on how long it took last year or so to get refunds that the Department of revenue is trying to get refund sent within 30 days. So I hope this is correct.
PatrickAwesome thanks for the reply…the website typically dont update until I already have my refund…fingers crossed we will all see it soon :-)
Sk@Patrick
More info can be found hereIf I understand it correctly this is normal after you move from processing it goes to review then it moves to refund .
Sk@Patrick
Sorry for typo meant to say how odd lol.At update this am mine read the exact same thing with no changes at all from last year.Sk@Patrick
How did mine has done the same and I had no changes at all.PatrickI’m wondering where or if I messed up on my iowa return I just checked and I updated to we are reviewing your tax return to make sure its accurate…only thing that changed this year was I got a new job
Sk@jennifer Ty
I’m not really sure. I did notice that it started saying “Processing” instead of “Received” last Thursday, so maybe a Wednesday overnight update?
Sk@jennifer
Great news !!! Mine was accepted on 28th.Did they say when site will update ? I always thought it did on weds, someone had said sometime back.I filed on Turbo Tax 1/20, accepted 1/27, their refund tracking still has us processing, the woman I spoke to on the phone said it’s finished and the refund was approved and that I should receive it this week.
If I may ask when did you file your Iowa return. I filed mine on 1/25 was accepted on 1/28. Went from received to processing your return for about a couple of weeks now. I read your comment did you file earlier in the year? It would be nice if they released them early instead of like 6-8 wks. in the previous year.
I just talked to the state, they said our return has been processed, refund has been approved and we should have it sometime this week. WooHoo! BTW, I had to call them because my State status on Turbo Tax changed from accepted to rejected this morning I was freaking out!
@mandalynne No, I don’t think so. As far as I’m aware, the only way to know if you have an offset, before they just send you a lesser amount, is to call the offset line.
Would an offset show up while preparing taxes? Like b4 you submitted the final?
@sk
I dont think so. Nothing has changed from previous years
Sk@Jennifer
Mine has been at being processed since 1/28 no other movementAnyone seeing any movement yet? Mine has moved from “received” to “being processed”
skstill showing received and it is being processed still since 1/28.
Jackie HMine just says received that’s it
Mine still showing received and it is being processed still since 1/28. Anyone have anymore updates on Iowa refund.
sk@Amanda could you possibly have an offset of taxes ?
Amandahas anyones taxes been drastically reduced even tho nothing has changed from previous years? we went from 4 digits to 2 digits! but income and household have stayed the same.
skjennifer yes fingers crossed last year we waited 6 weeks.
We just got the message that they have our return and it is being processed. I read an article stating that they had a 30 day timeframe from receipt for getting the refunds issued, if it starts to go beyond 45 they’ll bump up overtime. Fingers crossed that this is true. It would be really nice to get it before April this year.
SkJennifer mine says the same give it 24 or 48 hrs to update which takes place over night
TT has my Iowa State return accepted, however, when I check Iowa’s WMR, it says there is no match in the system, how long does it usually take with Iowa? This is only our 2nd year filing in this state, last year was a weird situation so I don’t think we can go by that.
skFiled TT 1/24 accepted 1/28
Seriously over thisAccepted 3/4. Still waiting!! No EIC, just small business. Absolutely no reason for this. Wouldn’t it be smarter to just add security measures to prove ID, rather than hold it up?!
Reinna Waseskuk, the irs does pay interest but under certain circumstance. Amended refunds often have interest applied but also refunds that are sent 45 days after April 15th usually have interest on them. I believe it is 5% interest now. Two years ago mine was really late. I filed in February with injured spouse and I did something wrong so it was my mistake but they also didn’t notify me for a couple months and then I just stalled on resending it. I finally re-sent it August and they got me the refund in 4 weeks with $83 in interest.
Reinna WaseskukI was accepted on 2/28 . It still say just that. Accepted. If they are trying to wait it out for whatever reason they should pay us interest. I’f it were us expected to pay them. Good lord, they would throw charges at us left and right.
MEGAt some point yesterday, it updated to, ” your refund has been issued. Please allow 14 days to receive your refund. ” Blah blah blah. Waited until today to post because I wanted to see if it would update and show an amount. Still no amount showing. Will update again whenever IT updates. Refund receive on 2/25.
artic_turtleUpdate: Pending in CU for deposit Monday. Good luck everyone. My timeline is in the posts below.
artic_turtleJust another update, around 6:30am or so this morning I updated to the refund issued message and now says please allow 5 days to expect your deposit, and it shows my full refund amount on the bottom. I anticipate to see it in my bank maybe by monday or tuesday next week. However I do bank with a credit union and deposits come in sometimes at night or mornings, pending when they receive the notification. For more details I posted yesterday when I finally exited the processing message.
Filed and accepted 02/18 with H&R Block online
artic_turtleFiled and accepted 02/18 and around 11pm last night I finally updated to the refund issued and please allow 14 days to receive refund, if amount below is different then what you expected please allow 7-10 days for a letter with information. However no amount listed, however I don’t expect details till possibly tomorrow when it usually updates to refund sent or whatever. I did check throughout the day yesterday, so my update did come sometime around 11pm.
SKRI filed and accepted on 02/16. Sorry for the wrong date update.
MEGIt doesn’t even seem like they’re doing it in any particular order! I filed before SKR and still nothing! Filed 2/25. Says they received it 2/25 and that they are processing it. It has never said anything about an acceptance or approval date. I for one feel that if they’re going to take this long every year, we should be getting compensated with the interest our money occurs for every day that it takes them to release it after they receive it.
Jennifer@SKR When were you accepted? I was accepted on 2/18 and haven’t had any kind of update yet.
SKRI got 14days message in status today and expecting my DD to credit into my account in 2-3 days.
JenniferAnyone accepted the week of 2/18 received their deposit or have any update yet? This seems to be taking a ridiculously long time.
SKRfiled on 02/26 and still waiting for the DD. it says received and in process. Will update once the status changed.
LaurenFinally got my deposit today, accepted 2/1
LaurenFinally processed! Filed 2/1 today I got the 14 day message.
SkyMine updated from 14 day message to deposit sent 3-7 please allow 5 days.
Mine is sitting in my bank account for deposit date on 3/11. It was released on 3/6. On 3/5 it said it would take 14 days then yesterday morning it showed 5 days allowed in bank.So it is pending at my credit union. Finally, I know last year I got state close to the same time which was 3/5/18.
LaurenGlad some people are finally moving. My $253 is still in process 🙄🙄😂
SkyFrom what I am understanding this year they are going to be 2 Updates on deposits. The first one will read you will receive your deposit in 14 days. The second update most are saying the following day from 14 day update you will get your direct deposit date..
SkyFinally an update however there is no deposit dates given.
REFUND MESSAGE
Your refund was issued. Please allow 14 days to receive your refund. This is the same information available to our phone representatives.AnnoyedSame here, filed 1/28 with no update yet. Not even a huge amount of money…it’s ridiculous that it is so delayed EVERY YEAR.
Filed and accepted 1/22 finally updated today. Says it was approved and expect a deposit in 14 days.
AmberFiled and accepted 2/1/19. Still in process. Iowa is hands down the WORST state when it comes to refunds. I got Nebraska back within 2 weeks of filing online and I’m still sitting here waiting over 2 months after filing Iowa at the same time with nothing.
LaurenActually I was wrong, don’t panic. I just realized the dates on those posts were 2018. My bad. False alarm.
Laurenfiled 2/1, still in process. On the state refunds boards people with a later accept date are saying the website shows their refund issued but could take 14 days. What the hell?
AllieSounds good to me Bonnie. This is crazy.
BonnieI think we should charge the State of Iowa interest and penalty fee like they would us. get a class action law suite going! Anybody In on that??!
SkyFiled 1-30 accepted 1-30 still in process no update !!!!!
AllieFiled 1/18 Accepted 1/28 Still nothiiiiingggg ugh
SkyFiled 1-30 accepted 1-30 still in process no updates
Filed and accepted 2/18, nothing
JohnnaFiled 1/18 and accepted no news yet no change. Anyone receive yet?
AllieFiled 1/18 Accepted 1/28 – no update. 🤷🏻♀️🙄
ERINfiled 1.19, accepted 1.28, still waiting for refund 2.25
SkyFiled and accepted 1-29-2018 last year didn’t receive refund until 3-8-2018.
SkyFiled 1-30 accepted 1-30 still in process
ElizabethMine was accepted 1/22. A whole month ago today. I can’t believe that there hasn’t been any kind of update.
LaurenAccepted 2/1, still in process. I feel like last year was fast but I can’t remember. With $125M budget surplus from last year I can’t understand what the hold up could possibly be….
AllieYes, I actually got mine March 4th last year they were released last week of feb if I remember correctly, but then take almost a week to be DD
I filed 1/27 accepted 1/28 just says showing receipt date. I feel this is going to be slow. Did not receive anything until March last year.
AllieFiled 1/18, accepted 1/28 being processed
JulieFiled my taxes with HR Block had to mail them in because I could not file online due to a form and adjustment. Receiving message that your taxes have been received and are being processed. They were accepted on 3/20. Same message for, four weeks now. I did ask that my refund be DD even though I had to mail them in…I thought this would be quicker. Waiting…four weeks now…
LisaFiled 2/23 mine still says in process. next year think i will wait until the deadline to file and i am not going to claim any of the credits that I qualify for because they don’t want to pay out. They just sit on the review because some people screw the system and those of us who work for a living but are a single parent get screwed over!
StephanieI filed on 2.14 and that’s when they received it and i still have no refund from the state. I look online and it says its in process. Its been over a month, WTH is going on with it???
RichardSo that’s 5 days from day of issue to deposit
RichardWe just found out my money is pending deposit for the 20th
RichardCan anybody tell me what time of day they have been receiving deposits for tax refunds
