no bars, paragraph saying to check my status after 15

[johnaria]

so I got no bars and a paragraph saying to come back and check my status after Feb 15th. I can order both transcripts it says it will be there in 5 to 10 days. there also no refund amout but there is a tax topic 152. what does all this mean? just waiting game?

I was able to order both transcripts last night (1/26/17). This morning both bars had disappeared and I now have this message (1/27/17).

Refund Status Results

According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue refunds before February 15 for tax returns that claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. This applies to the entire refund, even the portion not associated with these credits.
Check Where’s My Refund after February 15 for your personalized refund status. It’s updated once a day and remains the best way to check the status of your refund.

Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 152, Refund Information
Please Note:
For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.

my cycle date says 20170404 and has a negative account balance in the amount of my refund.

Has anyone else who was able to get transcripts seen this?

It seems that if you claimed the Earned Income and/or Additional Child Tax Credits that the message you are describing is what filers are getting when their return has finished processing, but the refund can not be released yet due to the PATH law that is making refunds on returns claiming those credits be held until mid-February.

Whenever I try to register to view my transcripts online it has said Technical Difficulties for the past 4 days

If you go to irs.gov and view your account transcripts online. You will see the amount to be refunded to you.

ok. same for me. I hope it’s on the 15. :) it just sucks with me bc the refund amount is gone and I am not sure why. I can get both transcripts so it should be done on there end.

I filed early and was accepted by irs almost two weeks ago i had 1 bar and then i believe on 23 or 24th my bar dissappeared and paragaph was there i had eic so i expected it. I do know that they are releasing funds on feb 15th for some if you click on tax topic 152 it says it there
