IRS acceptance dates different than your believed acceptance date

[Amy]

I filed thru H&R on 1/24 and was accepted on 1/24, had one ☝🏽 bar on WMR on 1/24 do I was under the assumption that IRS have been processing my return since 1/24…..
When I went back to H&R Block to review my return it states return complete on 2/4….
I called iIRS and said It told me to take action on WMR and was told I was just accepted on the 30th and now processing…
I can view my online transcripts account only blank with as of date for February 29,2018…..

this is true went back and checked mine

Yea we are looking in the same exact spot mine just doesnt say complete

Yeah, it’s true just got off the phone with an H&R Block online support Rep and the date IRS actually accepts you is sometimes different from the date it states. The date it states “ Return completed” is the actual date IRS began processing your return. She said they get lots of calls about that!

@ Fantasia I go to my tax history
Under 2017 it shows my refund amount
Under the amount it states Return completed feb. o4, 2018
Underneath that it states view my return.

@Jenny how do I get to that screen?

When I log in,I got to “my block” I mouseover “My taxes” then I select “tax history” and it has the large text with my refund amount federal on the left, state on the right. Under federal, it shows filing status and filing date, nothing on the screen says complete. I wish I could screen shot it lol

@Fantasis under the amount it should say “return complete” that is the date IRS actually accepted you

[Fantasia]

Ah ok, I went to My Tax history it shows the amount, and just says “filed 1/23”..

[Jenny]

@Fantasia… under review my tax history it shows your 2018 refund amount and right beneath it it shows return complete and s date…my dad filed 1/22 accepted 1/23 per H&R Block text, but underneath his it says return complete 1/22 which explains why he updated to Path about 2 days later. Because IRS really processed him in the test batch on 1/22…..

[Fantasia]

Where on HR Block do you see that you’re return is Complete, @Amy? when I go to HR Block is says ” The IRS Has Accepted Your Federal Return
Your return was accepted by the IRS on 01/24/2018. Print my return.” this is a shame I still can’t even order my transcripts..

Just noticed it happened to me. I filled though TT 1/25 and was accepted 1/26 and the refund date was 2/7. Now it says transmitted 1/29 accepted 1/26 and estimated refund date of 2/16.

Wow! Just noticed that on my TT home page. It says 1/29 instead of 1/26 when I actually received a notification. Maybe this happened to some since IRS “officially” start processing on 1/29.

[leigh]

Same thing happened to me. I filed on 1/24 and was accepted 1/24. Spoke to IRS who says it was actually accepted on 1/26 then I look at my return to see it says it started processing 02/05. Something does not make sense.
