Just got off phone with IRS tax advocate office

[Texas83]

Called 1-877-777-4778 (advocate office) and the wait was about 2 minutes. She said they were told not to give any personal information and told me they are not taking advocate cases until May 17th. I may try calling back later to see if another agent will be more willing to look up my personal information. She acknowledged that people are calling their line because they can’t get through to a human being on the IRS line.

Her message was that things are VERY different this year as there is an advanced child tax credit that they have to deal with. She asked if I received it and I said that I did, but that I made sure to enter it correctly on my taxes. She said it did not matter if it was correct or not, that anyone with the advance payments would have to be processed manually, which will be longer. I asked her if she thought my return would come within the 21-day window and she did not sound optimistic.

This agent could be completely wrong, as we hear so many different things from different agents, but I thought I should share.

Has anyone who received advance child tax credits received their refund, a deposit date, or transcript information?

Update: NO updates to transcripts or WMR. Never before have I seen N/A on transcripts at this point. Will be calling in here soon to make sure I don’t need to verify something.

@ms tax

I actually just called the automated offset line to make sure there wasn’t anything going on there. No offsets. Other than that, nothing new. I’m just waiting to see if transcript updates tomorrow morning. If not, I’ll be calling.

[Ms tax]

Anything new? I’m still in hold

[Ms tax]

Anything new? I’m still in hold

[Ms tax]

Oh yes I’m calling everyday until they tell me something

@justgowithit

I also haven’t received any notices or letters of delays. It’s beyond frustrating. Hoping we see an update tomorrow. if not, I’ll be calling first thing in the morning.

[Justgowithit]

That’s exactly what I’m doing too Ms tax
There is no way they don’t know why! I think it’s the recovery rebate for me. On the irs account my info states a different amount then what my tax preparer entered on line 30 lol so that’s my theory. I’m bugging them all week

[Ms tax]

Yes same here errors but I’ma keep calling until I get a solid answer

[Justgowithit]

Just got off the phone with IRS and the info on my situation is there is a processing error. I don’t know what that means. No notices. No notes NOTHING just to give it til the end of March. I truly believe they are just messing with ppl who have those rebates and credits and advances. Trying to make sure they don’t get bamboozled. AND they are backed up

Did anyone get there money today ?

@Kim

Did your transcripts take a while to appear? I’m so glad to hear of other people with the ACTC who have a DDD.

@ME

I have N/A for my return and record of account transcripts but my “as of” date on the account transcript is March 7th. At this point in the game, I’ve never NOT had return transcripts to view. I think I’m going to call the IRS line first thing tomorrow morning if there are no updates.

I just called SBTPG and I have a ddd of 2/24. The lady stated that my fees are due to be processed on the 23rd and my refund will have an “effective date” of 2/24 which is my ddd. So we are not, I repeat are not getting our refund early.

[Kim]

I claimed it my DDD is 2/24/. I am a pather. I got the monthly payments also

[ME]

What is your as of date? You will most likely see an update Wed or Friday… no other day. I have a DDD of 2/24 and received upfront payments. Everything looks Normal its just a waiting game. Even if path was lifted depending on when yours was processed and accepted could be why you do not have updates yet. It’s only those 2 days typically

[CatsCradle]

I have 766 and 768 and 150, no 846 yet. (But no 570 or anything else too…) I’m believing what you’re saying about the ACTC because I’ve had it back faster when I used to have to file injured spouse!

[Texas83]

@catscradle

So, you have transcripts but no 846 code? I hope you get your DD soon!

[CatsCradle]

I filed 1/24, missed 1099 that didn’t come until last week, and got the EITC & ACTC. My transcripts changed on Feb 11. Path lifted on WMR on the 15. No abnormal codes, no change in transcripts last Friday.

@jon0026

My transcripts are N/A and they’ve never been N/A this long into the process. I was reading horror stories about N/A transcripts on this board and thought I’d give them a quick call.

@michellem

Thank you so much for posting and letting me know that. I was hoping this agent was wrong. I did receive $3000 in advance payments July-December but claimed that on my tax return. I even went back and double-checked just now.

[Jon0026]

If you don’t mind me asking what was your case you that you would called about? A few years ago I had a fiasco with my taxes if it was similar maybe I could tell you what my experience was

[Michelle M]

I claimed it on my taxes and my DDD is for 2/24. I was a pather ,had the path message then went to processing on the 16th then friday it updated with my DDD
