Only EIC and ACTC filers updates here plz!!!

[Meeky]

Hi I only been seeing ddd for people with no credits. We need a forum for updates and need only information about DDD for the child credits. Thanks

[Kay]

@Jaclyn You might just have to call the IRS. That sucks hun.

[Jaclyn]

Filed 2/3.. still no DDD and haven’t received anything in the mail.

[Janet M Holmes]

I filed on 02/04/17, accepted 02/04/17. ID verification on 02/22/17. Here we are 06/28/17 and still no refund. I ended up having to get Tax Advocate. Come to find out the girl who did my verification on 02/22/17, said everything was ok and to expect refund in 9 weeks, She never released it. So it has been in limbo. There mistake and still having to wait.

[Fredo]

@Michelle. Im definitely in the same boat its a headache

[FALLON GIRINI]

I filed on 2/22..and was accepted within a 1/2 hour.. received notice on 3/1 stating that my return is under review and that i have 60 days from the date on the letter to receive my return “if due a return”. Nothing is different this year, i claim my two children for the E.I.C. as i have the past 8 years. I check the wmr and irs2go and it says, “we have received your return and it is being processed”. When i call, which is every few days, they just keep saying that my return is under review. I offered to fax over social security cards, birth certificates, etc., and they keep telling me that they do not need anything from me. What is going on???

[cinimod]

I filed on 1/13..got accepted same day…filed joint with EIC. .to this day no codes, just “we have received tax return and it is being processed.

[Katherine Cocivera]

I filed on 2/27 and was approved for both the next day. I received my federal 3/4 and I just got a direct deposit date yesterday of 4/4 for my state, why is the date so far from today ? I’m just confused as to why it’s taking so long. I also e-filed with turbo tax and should be getting my return on a netspend card.

[TekishaE]

I filed 2/13 was accepted that same day on 2/21 bars disappeared on 3/9 received a letter saying to call with current and prior years tax return and any supporting documents did that the same day told If there’s no other issues I should receive my refund within 9wks from that day but it might not be that long. I was wondering if there isn’t no issues how soon can I expect my refund? I know it haven’t been a week yet but need to know what time frame I’m really looking at

[SamanthaDH]

Filed 1/31 and accepted next day.. EIC only no child credit and I’m still waiting with no updates.. anyone in a similar boat?

[Michele]

Has anyone with a DDD of 3/15 received their refund yet? I know that people who requested their refund be deposited to a netspend card or other prepaid bank card have gotten their refunds 24-48 hrs early.

[Kris]

I submitted my taxes of February 11th and never had any bars. On March 5th it updated to show “my refund is been received and is being processed.

3/9 called to find out that my return had been changed and that a letter was being sent out to let me know what the change was. The person on the phone could not find the reason in the system or a copy of the letter.

3/11 system updated to show change to return and a direct deposit date of 3/15 The return was actually increased because the incorrect amount was entered for EITC (thanks TaxAct “rolls eyes”).

Still waiting for my refund…

[Screwtaxes]

Guess I will chime in with some good vibes. Filed 1/23 accepted 1 /24. I received an I’d verify letter 2/21. Letter was dated and postmarked 2/17. I phone verified on 2/21. 3/11 I finally updated to a ddd date of 3/15. I have both credits. So….It’s coming sooner or later for us all.

[Kristin]

I filed 2/6 and was accepted the same day. I had 1 orange bar on WMR for awhile and then it disappeared with the message “Your return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” I called on 3/3 at 32 days and was told that I should be receiving a letter and it could take up to 20 more days. When no letter came, I called back on 3/10 and was told that I had been randomly selected for review and to call back if I did not have a DDD by 3/21. When I asked about a letter I was told that there was no indication of a letter being mailed and that there would be no letter.

[trina23]

Alert!!!!

I got my taxes last night. I did the identity check on 3/6/2017 got a date on 03/11/2017 and i received my money last night on my net spend card… thank god.

[Kelly K]

Sorry …..meant I filled 2/10 via mail. Was accepted the following week of Febuary. Until bar and tax topic disappeared several days later stating….Still processing w/ no bars – no tax topic. No letters. Confused AF.

[Kelly K]

I am still having the same issue. Mailed taxes on the 10th was accepted the following week with one orange bar and tax topic 152. Several days later I checked back and the bar had disappeared and so had tax topic 152. I haven’t recieved any letters but also put in a new address along with my tax return since they are suppose to be mailed to the same Treasure Dept. address in Austin, Tx.

Have been checking to see if mail came to old address and so far nothing. On Weds I was able to order both 2015-2016 Transcript returns but only to my old address. So I am totally confused. I will be giving them a call on Monday. Too many different answers on boards and I called H&R last week and the lady I spoke with seemed less than thrilled to even give me the basic answers. I am sure they are over whelmed and being stressed by so many ppl waiting on their money. Oh and I am both EITC and ACTC also.

[Arthur]

Filed: 03/01/17
Accepted: 03/02/17

Still being processed as of today

Claimed EITC and child tax credit

No DDD, no “accepted” message, nothing.

No errors on taxes. Having it DD to a Netspend card. No updates to WMR.

I have no idea – all my friends and family that are low income and first time parents received theirs within a week. There should be zero reason mine is taking longer. Can’t get answers from anyone.

Anyone else in this boat?

[Elisabeth]

I have a DDD of 3/15! Finally!!
Filed 2/7 accepted 2/8, never did get the notice they supposedly sent out,m. Had ACTC but not EITC.

[Sis]

@ Amanda are you able to order return transcript?

[Amanda]

I filed on Feb. 13th. Claimed 3 children and EIC. Still says “still being processed” on the IRS website.

[StuckinLimbo]

Kyle,
I also filed using HR Block online for free. I did the HR Block identification. This was the end of January. Mid February, I got an ID letter from the IRS saying I needed to call in to ID verify. I did so, now almost 3 weeks later, and I am still waiting. So….HR Block ID verify, does not mean the IRS won’t also make you ID verify. No idea how or why they choose who they choose to ID verify.

[Kyle]

I did my id verification on H&R Block’s website when I filed my taxes. Is this the same thing or would the IRS request I verify my id? It asked me to enter my license number so the IRS could verify my ifentity.

[Ashlee King]

I agree. I filed 2/21 and accepted on 2/22 and it still shows processing as of today 3/10

[LizzyDoe]

Hope this helps some body next year. Print and mail your returns on 2/13, this way the IRS gets them early still, but not too early to draw attention. If someone used your identity and filed before you, you will still get processed, instead of when efiling you will get rejected. When you send in your paper return, attach all your w2’s to the front, and make sure you sign all pages that need signed. Mail it USPS priority with a tracking number, flat rate costs $6.25, use the tracking number to guesstimate when the IRS will begin handling your return, it’s.gov says 4 weeks, mine was processed and approved in 2 weeks, and I received a Ddd. I will actually get my refund faster this year than any previous year that I have e-filed.

[Adrian Williams]

@screwtaxes. I did the walk in ID thing on 2-24 and got a update that mine will be sent on the 10th of this month. My status changed to that on 3-4. Their computer might not have updated yours yet.

[Rave90]

Nope still waiting on my letter from the IRS this really sucks I have things to do!!! WMR still says receive and being processed not sure what to do all the IRS has said is the computer says either I should have my letter by 3/13 or it should be atleast in the mail by then. Whatever date is on the letter they have 60 days from then to get me my refund. Its really ridiculous we have no way to track OUR money. I filed with Turbo Tax and claimed my 2 boys as I do every year filed and accepted on 1/23.
#FRUSTRATED 😡

[Ryan]

Prayers and positive thinking for you all.☺

[Ryan]

Mine showed up this morning! TT no fees to a Green Dot card..ddd 3/8..

[Screwtaxes]

I’d verifying at the office is instant. They check your id, make sure it’s you and you are all set. Problem is, id verify doesn’t mean an instant release of your money. They say up to 9 weeks for deposit after I’d verifying, that’s if you have no other issues. They don’t put you back in your place in the processing line once you verify, you go to the very end of the line of people waiting to be processed. Your new return accepted date is the day you is verified. I am on week 2.5 after I’d verifying and still waiting with a 1541 code.

[bostonq]

I file on Jan-31-17 accepted same day, got one Bar next day bars disappears with the Still processing refund date will be provided when available message, Call IRS after a month and they told me that I have to go to a local office for ID verify, I have file every year and never had to do ID verify and never received any letter whatsoever.

My question is at the local IRS office what do the ask? and how long it takes after ID verify?

[trina23]

Good morning, has anyone that got a letter to be verified received a date?

[Oriana]

I filed 2/15 accepted 2/16
TT one bar until 12 tonight it says processing and a refund date will be provided when available. I’ve noticed that when it says that it usually updates to a ddd in a few days. My fiance’s did. Anywho I can now order transcripts with new address

[Ryan]

Also @Vale
You mentioned 5:30-6ish on 3/7
Sounds right to me..could you specify if you
are eastern time?

[Ryan]

OK guys with a 3/8 ddd.. tomm is the day we are anticipating..judging by how the other people got theirs it seems we are due for tomm 3/7
CAN WE keep eachother updated if yours comes?? Please and thank you
Good luck all

Also, turbotax merged my old and new address together and I only noticed after it was accepted. Im not filing an amended just to fix an address. So, if I was sent a letter, I wouldnt know.

[Jay]

Mine was paper filed accepted 2/7 and I had no bars actually wmr was like I didn’t for at all. Then 2/25 I had 1 bar. Then March 5 two barswith DDD 3/8. Having it sent to my walmart moneycarrd so possibility it will hit my account a day or two early.

Fingers crossed

Good luck

[Ryan]

@Vale
I was thinking the same thing.. thanks for saying that cause it was exactly what I figured too

[Scarface2]

for those of you who have greendot cards there is good news. i also use greendot for jobs and irs refund. if your DDD is for example 3/8/2017 you will have your money on 3/7/2017, it will be in your account on the 3/7 around 5:30 to 6:00 in the afternoon.

[Ryan]

Hello all,
I also have a ddd of 3/8. Used TurboTax getting loaded to a Green Dot card..jw if we can keep eachother updated as to when our money hits our accounts. My girl had a date of 2/23 and got hers the 22nd.. alot of others got theirs the 21st too.. let’s hope we hit early too!

Got PATH Msg 2/15
“We have recieved your return and it is being processed” on 2/16

Called twice last week was told there was a hold on my refund for my 2014 return that I owed. Was also told I would be getting a letter & I had to wait 60 days.

Got DDD of 3/8 today.
Finally.

[Waiting ever so patiently]

Filed and accecpted 2/16 with both credits. Yesterday, return tran available. This morn I have a ddd od 3/8. It took almost the full 21 days. I stayed on 1 bar ( we have received your return amd it is being processed w tt 152) up until this morning when i finally got 2 bars. So dont despair if there has been no change, if you are a weekly wait until your 3rd sat after filing for your ddd and just be happily surprised if its early. No need to panic or call unless your message changes or it goes past your 3rd sat with no change. Gl all!

[Adrian Williams]

Just checked and it now say it will be mailed by the 10th and I should call if it’s not here by April 7th

[NINI]

does anyone know if they are requesting info from you, such as mailed u a letter requesting something, or anything they may need, would it still say “we have received your return and It is being processed” ?

Fees: Liberty Tax (unsure on the bank)
PATH ACT
WMR: Still processing as of 3/1/2017

I called the Tax Advocate yesterday and was given answers. I got divorced last year and wasn’t inform that my ex owed taxes. As a stay at home mom, i didnt really worry about the taxes and let him do it. Turns out they are taking money out of my refund to pay his back taxes. Thankfully the Advocate was helpful and told me I could fill out the Innocent Spouse form and get my money back. He said there was a hold on my return three weeks from 2/20, so I should be getting it “soon-ish” the money taken from me will be 8-12 weeks away, since they have a long process for that. A little upset but glad they didn’t take everything from me.

[Adrian Williams]

Same here Chef and Rave, I even went to the IRS here and got verified. The IRS got told me it could be up to 9 WEEKS. I am like WTF. I hope he’s over estimating it.

[trina23]

@rave90 and Chef

I also contacted the IRS and was advised that I would receive a letter before March 31st to advise me on what i need to do in order to receive my taxes… i am so upset, i just knew that i would have my money by now… ugh!!!!!

[Rave90]

@chef I’m right there with you filed with Turbo Tax on 1/23 and accepted same day still saying received and being processed. Irs is saying I will get a letter and whatever date is on the letter I should have my refund within 60 days which would be May 😡 this is crazy…

[GRACE OSBORNE]

@joseph, i got the letter approx feb 10th, and faxed it back around the 13th, so a pretty qick turn around since i was expecting it to extend my date as well as push me to the back of the line

[DownSouth]

Filed 2/19
Received 2/22
Update DDD 2/25
DD scheduled 3/1
I did not expect a fast turn around but here’s my humble opinion: I waited after 2/15 to file. Because 1 I did not want to drive myself crazy waiting when they weren’t going to do anything anyways & 2 because I feared that I would be lost in the early filing bunch. I used a certified public accountant that I have always used. Yes it costs a bit more but I am willing to pay the extra just to ensure that my taxes are done properly. It may also help that CPAs are registered with the IRS personally. Because they have alot to lose they are probably viewed more trustworthy & accurate when processing tax returns. Lastly I do not have fees taken out of my tax return. Why? 1 this can slow up the receipt of my tax return by using a third party which my CPA advised me against & 2 if anything goes wrong especially if its his error, he will not get paid until I receive my refund. Also he will be more than likely do all he can to assist me in clearing up any matters so that he will get paid. I noted that many early filers are being reviewed, prolonged etc. I wish those of you who are frustrated peace & a fasr turn around. Everyone’s situation is different but maybe my insight will help someone.

[Joesph]

@grace how long did it take? When did you provide the IRS the form?

[GRACE OSBORNE]

I just checked this morning, and not have a DDD date of March 1. I had to fax in my healthcare forms, faxed that in and expected to have a long drawn out thing, but nope. Hopefully it will be there then, as I didn’t know they were delaying until after I filed. It also said to expect my deposit by March 6, so (once again) hoping it’s the 1st, and not closer to the 6th. I’m assuming that’s for banks who have a hold time??

[duncan]

RE: problems/refund delays due to using pay your return fees by deducting from your refund, let this be a lesson to everyone to learn from.

Going forward pay fees up front.

Also there are quite a few free efile websites for federal and even some for state if you qualify. just have to research a bit.

That way when it refund time comes around its just the IRS depositing into your checking account.

And if you have an issue with your refund its much easier to handle.

[KarenJ]

@Ryan I had them read the numbers back to me at Republic Bank, but they claim they do not have my refund. I called back Taxact and was told that the Taxact fees were paid and the person gave me a payment id number, so Republic Bank where is my money? If I do not have a refund in my account my the 28th I am going to file a complaint with the Federal Reserve.

[Jessica]

No change this morning. Still just says processing. I just don’t know anymore called last week they said everything is fine but it still hasn’t changed.

Days after that, the message change to ‘refund date will be provided when available’, tax topic 152 showed up, and my refund amount disappeared
As of this morning, my refund amount is back but my topic is gone and it’s back to the same crap message ‘your return has been received and is processing’
Please tell me this bs message change means a little bit of good news
I’ve called them 3 times since being past my 21 days and they’re saying everything is fine, nothing else needed on my part. Wtf

[KarenJ]

Still no refund. DDD 2/23, used Taxact had fees deducted with Republic Bank. IRS sent refund 2/23 Republic Bank claim they still do not have the refund.

Update…mailed my return 1/23 had 1 bar on 2/7 lost bars and tax topic on 2/12….was able to order both transcripts this morning just checked my NFCU account and refund is pending for 3/1…no movement or update on WMR…..

[crystal wiley]

lm on the phone with the irs and they are telling me that i should received my refund by April 4th or 5th, that will be when my 60 days would be up i have received this letter on February 2nd, 2017 i had filed on January 5th accepted January 12th, 2017 then i have received this letter. i really hope i get it soon before that. i can not believe they are holding that from me! anyone else with this problem as well?

[Michelle]

Filed 2/3 WMR changed from received to PATH message to “your return is still being processed.” It has been over 21 days so I called and they said they don’t need anything from me and there is nothing I can do to speed it up but I am still processing and to give them 60 days. I did claim educational credits and child tax credit, wondering if that had something to do with it. Anyone have something similar happen?

[Shaleka77]

@ Linda and @Erin ,

Yes I think it will save us all the headache if we do wait until after the 15th

[Erin]

@linda you are welcome

@shaleka77 I am definitely waiting until after the 15th of February to file. It may be late February or Early March from now on.

[Linda]

@Shaleka77

So, you think next year it would be best to wait until after February 15th?

[Shaleka77]

@Linda , you are more than welcome… Thanks for the update. Hopefully they will release it next week. This whole process has been unreal this year but lesson learned in terms of filling after the 15th . I think that played a major roll in regards to the review.

[Elisabeth]

Ugh.
Filed 2/7, accepted 2/7
Have had a transcript code of 570 for over a week now.
Woke up to a transcript code of 971 notice sent,
Tried to call to find what the notice was, she said they just need more time but that she couldn’t see if they were asking for more info or not, just wait for the notice.

Had ATC but no EITC. Filedwith TurboTax
Same kids. Same spouse. Same address for seven years… this is insane.

[Linda]

Thank you Rave90, Erin & Shaleka77 for your responses, I appreciate it =)
You are going to cringe when you here what I found out when I called the number above that you all gave me and spoke to the IRS.
Are you ready for this?
I was told…..
1) There is a delay due to the ACTC & EIC ….Oh, really? Come on now, DUHHHHHH
2) There is an additional “HOLD for review” =0 but it doesn’t say why.(of course it doesn’t)
So, the lady who answered my call couldn’t have been nicer and said she would take a look. What she found was that H&R block put my social security withholdings in the Federal with holding box. Although I was furious at this point because we all know what this means for me…. no return anytime soon =(
To my surprise she went on to say there was nothing documented that they were going to hold my taxes or that a letter would be sent out to me asking for more information.
So, she suggested I wait until next week and see if they push it through and DD it or if my status changes. If I don’t hear anything by the end of next week to wait 45-60 after Feb 14th (that is how long they have to get back to me) and see if they write me a letter.
Ok WOW =0 I am speechless!!

[Jeff]

Anyone else with a DDD of 2/23 still not received their refund as of today?

WMR says it was ALREADY sent to my bank on 2/23. I called chase to see if they can see any hidden pending transactions and they said there is nothing at all pending for my account.

I thought maybe I could have made a typo on my account/routing numbers when I did my return but I looked up my tax forms and verified that my deposit account/routing info was correct.

Don’t know whats going on :(

Filed on 1/21, Accepted 1/23

Nothing-

called the IRS this morning, mine is “under review” and they have “45 days to review it, and will either simply deposit the money or send me a letter asking for whatever they may need.”

I’m never filing early again.

[Shaleka77]

@Linda, you are not alone. Filled EITC 01/27/17 accepted 01/30/17( I believe that was due to the weekend) . Like many I initially had a bar on wmr stating accepted/received. After the 15th of February and forward nothing bars disappeared. Just that generic message stating ” it’s still being processed”. I have not received any letters in the mail and to answer your question yes, the letter clearly states it’s from the IRS . I called yesterday (800) 829-0582 ext 652 . He was a little annoyed but you know what, so am I because you have my money. I was told “they are still processing it” . No letter has been sent or generated . I just have to wait with my hand out basically. . So in closing pack your patience this year and try to remain as positive as you can despite the BS the IRS/MOB is putting us through due to the PATH act from hell ;-)

[Erin]

@Linda

Sorry to hear your having difficulties. I believe a lot of people are having issues this year. Call 1 (800) 829-0582 ext 652 to talk to a rep. Hopefully they can help you.

[Rave90]

@linda Im in the same boat filed the same day as you and got accepted right away using turbo tax as I do every year. I dont know how long it takes to receive a letter I havent gotten one yet I called yesterday and was told I just have to wait they have until 3/31 to send me the letter. Im sooo angry you can try calling 1-800-829-0582 ext 652 their telling me they are still reviewing my refund this makes no sense. Good luck they are rude let me know what you find out.

[Linda]

I filed with H&R Block this year like I do every ear and I have NEVER had any issues until now!!

I filed with H&R on 1/23/17 it was accepted by the IRS 1/24/17 as of today WMR still says processing. I don’t see any bars either.

I haven’t received a letter that I know of which concerns me. Now I am thinking I over looked it or worse threw it away because I thought it was junk. Can anyone tell me how long after you file do you get a letter?? What does the letter look like? Is it clearly marked its from the IRS?

Where are you all getting a DDD? I see nothing on my end for that.

Also, what number are all of you calling on?? I tried yesterday and got a pre-recorded person.

I am so frustrated. I don’t understand if you have always filed the same thing every year with no issues why this year are they holding on to it for so long?

Also, thanks Michele for your analogy of all responses, it helped a lot!!

If anyone can answer my questions above I would greatly appreciate it….

[Trina29]

so I just spoke with someone at the IRS and was told I am under review and this will take up to 8 weeks. This is so funny to me when I know of people that didn’t even work and made up a return and they have already got there money. The IRS is full of it. I work everyday on a job that I have been on for 14 years and nothing has change but I had another baby and had to use my short term disability but really are you serious.

[DownSouth]

I waited until after 2/15 to file. I figured what’s the point of filing early. My WMR bar is still on one. My CPA hasn’t contacted me regarding an issue so I’m hoping for another bar by Monday. It seems the IRS is doing a thorough job this year. I hear some are being offset or need further review. Best of luck to all.

[Michele]

I don’t know if anyone is interested, but I have tried looking at a lot of the posts and it looks to me that the people who seem to be having the longest wait time (except for ones that got pulled for review or something else), are the ones who filed in January either before the IRS started processing returns or shortly after and the ones who used turbo tax. Also I think we all know now that if you get it sent to a prepaid card you will get it 24-48 hrs earlier than you would if it’s sent to your regular checking account. I’m just trying to use all the info about what helps and what makes things worse for next year. I think I will be getting a netspend card, because they seemed to release funds the earliest and I think I will file around the same time I did this year which was around 2/6/17. I think some of the earliest filed returns almost get stuck and backlogged for some reason. With this new law, there is no reason to file in January because they only need 10-14 days to process your return, otherwise it just sits there and doesn’t move.
If anyone else had noticed anything that may be helpful for all of us next year…please share!

[Judy]

Finally talked to someone today. IRS is done processing but pushed my taxes into the injured spouse department and who knows how long that is going to take. Grrrr so frustrating.

[Courtney]

I spoke to someone with IRS today bc my ddd was 2/23 and nothing in my bank account, they said it’s because TurboTax charged me a fee so it had to be sent to their bank first then issued to my bank…. check sbbt (santa Barbara bank) and it said they received my refund yesterday and took their money out already and sent to my bank, still no deposit. Say that it takes 1-2 biz days to show up so hopefully tomorrow…. this year sucks for tax refunds !!!!

[Rave90]

@crystal wiley I am its sooo frustrating how can you hold our taxes? I havent even gotten my letter yet. They told me they have until 3/31 to get it to me i called turbo tax they have no records of my return being held. Its ridiculous

[Ryan]

My heart goes out to you that are still experiencing trouble and haven’t gotten yours yet if this helps anybody feel any better my date was for today I got mine yesterday around this time 2:30 or 3 o’clock Pacific was H&R Block with fees taken out to a GreenDot card so just keep checking every hour I have faith that you guys will get yours today and I have not noticed any pattern as to what time it will load it could be anytime so unless there is a direct problem with your specific return I have no reason to believe that you will not get it today on your date my thoughts are with you I understand the stress and the struggle some people think it’s just money but it’s a lot to a lot of us it turns your whole day week month around

[crystal wiley]

i had called the irs today and they said because the have gave me a letter at the beginning of this month that they are holding it because i went to school and they are holding it for more investigation so i dont know when i will get mine either. anyone with this same problem?

[Karen]

Same here filed 1/23, currently have DDD of 2/23 and still no refund.

[Eric]

My DDD is by Feb 23rd. Well its feb 23 and still no deposit and the where’s my refund app still doesn’t say sent. Anyone else experiencing this?

[Rave90]

This is by far the worse year for me when it comes to my refund. Filed with turbo tax on 1/23/17 accepted by the IRS 1/23/17 as of today WMR still says processing. I called and they just say I wont receive a due date I will get a letter they are still reviewing my info. Not to mention they are saying they have until 3/31 to get the letter to me… They are rude and no help at all. I just want my money and there is no telling when I will get it. I’m beyond frustrated… Anyone else going through this?

[Erik]

It is 2/23 and I still have no DDD. WMR shows “Accepted and being processed”

:(

[Chris]

@txmamax3 Getting your return accepted and approved by the IRS are two different things. When turbo tax says you’re accepted it means the IRS system at a quick glance cannot see anything wrong with your tax forms. It does not mean that your refund has been approved. Approved is when the system takes a closer look at the forms and still sees nothing wrong with them. When that happens your refund will be approved and then move through the other steps.

I’ve been silently following this thread for a couple weeks now so just thought I would share my experience with everyone.

I Filed with Jackson Hewitt and had my fee taken from my refund
Filed and accepted in 1/27
Path Message until 2/15
Updated to generic message (your refund is being processed)
WMR updated on 2/18 with DDD of 2/23
On 2/22 Republic Bank shows they have received my refund and have paid my fees out
I also bank with Republic Bank so my DD went in my account around 2:30am today.
This is the longest I have ever had to wait for my refund! Not looking forward to going through this next year and for years after :(
Thanks everyone and I hope all of you who are still waiting receive your money a.s.a.p!

Had refund sent to my checking account
Refund deposited around 5am 02/23
WMR never updated past 2nd bar (checked this morning)

@RileyM- are you saying you filed on 02/08 and it stuck on received (only 1 bar on WMR) ? Or are you waiting on a DDD?
If you haven’t gotten a DDD date, you may want to call the IRS, because either they didn’t update WMR or there is a problem where they can’t approve it. All the people who had a 02/23 DDD didn’t get that update on WMR until 02/18, so maybe they will be updating everyone with a DDD tomorrow or Saturday, and if that is the case you will get your refund next week (prob Thursday), as long as there are no problems. I would just call the IRS, because at least you’ll know. Good Luck everyone! Hope all the 02/23ers get their sometime today!

You guys have low IQs. Prepaid cards from Netspend and Greendot release ALL DIRECT DEPOSIT funds (PAYCHECKS, REFUNDS, LOANS) 16 hours in advanced compared to regular banks. If you have a Direct Deposit date please wait till the 23rd for your turn. I should be a CSR for the IRS. I would get a lot of people to stop calling.

[Alisha0015]

@ Rachel
Thank you

I hope calling them tomorrow gives you a light out of the endless tunnel.
Keep our prayers with you.

Lol. I dont think so i do all the paperwork i know he’s info when i called the offset hotline it said their are two payment one for 1800 and another for 600 both for child support . But the weird part is that our state refund was take 1st on February 6th they took 1800 so we just thought he would have 600 left to pay but then another 1800 was taken out of our federal refund .

How can I get my refund? Should I keep calling?

@Alisha
Not to be mean but may he have other baby mamas?

[AmandaC]

@Michael – Your student loans, right? Happened to me 5 or 6 years ago. They took every penny. Just so you know, you can get a consolidation loan for all of your loans through the Dept of Ed. and it will take care of the default, so you don’t have to worry about it next year.

[Alisha0015]

So we got refund and my husband owed child support 2500 but they took 4500. 😣
Im a little confused….

@jd
My ddd was for tomm 2/23 so ya technically did get it early. Around 2-3ish Pacific time.
Went through hr block with fees taken out loaded to a Green Dot card.If you haven’t gotten anything yet and your date is 2/23.. don’t take my word for it by any means but I’d be so sure you’ll have it tomm..If that is your date. Good luck man.. I’ll say a private positive word for you.

[Rachel]

I talked to them today and they said my refund could be delayed for up to 10 weeks. I was able to order my return but it is pending their verification for discrepancies.

[BigG91]

My girlfriend and I both filed with the same credits. Both DDD 2/23.

She chose to have hers deposited to Wal-Mart money card and just got an alert of a pending transaction in the amount of her refund.

Refund deposited onto PayPal prepaid MC less than one day early…but STILL early, nonetheless. H&R Block’s bank that does the refund transfer does not have a website to track when fees are taken out of refund nor do they really accept calls on the matter. Ordered a Netspend card to use next year and only for refund process since they charge unnecessary fees. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Good luck, everyone. Keep the faith. I know how hard it is to do so, though.

[So happy I could scream]

I feel like you’re my family…

My deposit just dropped onto my net spend card. I used TurboTax and was approved on January 17.

My DDD was scheduled for 02/23 and o did NOT pay fees up front.

I am west coast time. balance inquiry to my card which bounced back with no refund and within 15 seconds got another text before even closing my screen stating it had dropped.

Feel like days but have faith family! Your moments AND $$$$ are coming❣

[Jenn]

For those who get direct deposits through HR Block, please include whether or not your deposit was pending ahead of time.

I just spoke with two reps. One told me they cant check for pending deposits. Obviously that’s a lie, so I hung up and called back and the second one told me that there are no pending deposits. I asked if it’s possible to get it on the same day if there are no pending deposits and she told me no. I want to know if this statement is accurate.

[Genie]

SBBT is only for those who had their preparation fees taken out of their refund. If you paid out of pocket, your refund will not go there first. It is my understanding that it doesn’t hold anything up anyway.

[Michele]

This forum has absolutely helped me not worry so much. Not thrilled with all the news as it keeps pointing to no one except a rare few getting their refunds before the DDD this year, at least if you requested for it to be deposited into a checking account. I think I will be getting a netspend for next year! If nothing else it gave us all something to do in between the calls to the IRS, checking WMR, checking our accounts…etc. I am praying everyone gets their DDD’s soon if you are one of the ones who is stuck in processing (that has to be the most stressful situation to be in). I stopped complaining about not getting my refund before my DDD, when I saw that some people that filed and got accepted earlier than me haven’t gotten a DDD yet. I am hoping I get my DD tonight or in the morning because I guess apparently they can keep it until the 27th if they really want to stick it to us. Good luck everyone and how that u have read my LOOOOOONG post, it’s time to check to see if your deposit is in your account 😜

[Crystal]

Just so yall know to be on the lookout…

DDD of 2/23 (tomorrow)

Good Luck to those still waiting!

[Jillian]

Quick question, I checked SBBT this morning and it states that my refund was sent to my bank, I checked with my bank and they stated they have not received it, and there is no pending deposits at this time. How long is it taking for the banks to receive the money from SBBT?

[Linda]

For those who are still showing the “your refund is processing” message; do not call the main IRS number that is on their website. They are instructed to give you the run of the mill, not very helpful script.

Call this number 1800_829-0582. #652, these reps are MUCH more friendly and helpful (as long as you are friendly to them). You will get much further going this route than doing through the main IRS customer service line.

Hello, Nope I didn’t get an update either. Still the same message about receiving and processing. Keeping my fingers crossed. I know next year I won’t be filing until late February or early march

Approved on 2/18 with DDD of 2/23. Filed with H&R Block. They tell me different info every time I call. First the had my funds and fees taken out. Today they haven’t received anything and say it could be after the 27th due to the path act. They are horrible and I will never file with them again. They won’t tell you anything and when they do its never accurate. Had 3 ppl tell me me my funds were there, but now they aren’t? Frustrating!

[Aria A.]

Rhonda

I’m with Netspend as well, but nothing yet. I filed with H&R Block on February 5th. The IRS accepted my return a few minutes later. Claiming both credits. DDD 2/23 So, I’m just patiently waiting for my refund to hit my account.

[AmandaC]

Does anyone know if you can see pending deposits on a prepaid card like you would for a bank account? I think Walmart MoneyCard’s getting sick of me calling them and asking if there are and pending deposits!

[Mike]

@Rhonda. NetSpend holders that have updated sbtpg this morn should have deposit between 2-4 pm today. Theory from reading this forum, past experiences, and wishful thinking lol. Also waiting on NetSpend

[Genie]

@MEH and all other Wells Fargo customers

Nothing big but I was curious if my deposit would show up at midnight (in my Wells Fargo account) like my payroll direct deposit and the rep at WF told me some people report getting payroll at 7am. She also said it depends on the time the payroll company sends it. She said they do not hold deposits.??? If that is true, how do all these prepaid card holders get theirs sooner than us? I just want to understand so I can be comfortable about waiting. Its frustrating that reps for EVERYWHERE do not have a thorough understanding of their company policies and procedures. You get a different answer from every person, no matter what company you’re calling. Don’t mess with our money, it makes us crazy! I’ve always gotten my refund earlier than forecasted by IRS but it seems like this year they intend for us to get it exactly on the dd. I bet we all go get netspend and next year they throw another curve ball, its probably strategy to be sure the money is spread out so it doesn’t drain the federal reserve hah!

[Rhonda]

I have a Netspend account. You would think I would get it early! DD is Feb 23! Some people have got it early but I haven’t. Anyone have the same problem ?

[SamanthaDH]

Filed w/ TT: 01/31
Accepted: 02/01
EIC credit

After filing I begun to see the one bar on WMR, as of this monday the 20th I no longer see any bars. I was just on the phone with the IRS for an hour (on hold most of the time obviously) and the rep said that no information will be available for me until after the 27th. I don’t know what to do, this doesn’t seem right and the agent couldn’t/wouldn’t give me any options at all..

[jason]

Had a ddd for 2/22 and it was received this moring along with my pa state return.

Filed 1/24 accepted 1/24
Path message 1/27-2/16
2/17 received ddd for 2/22
EIC and ACTC

This was the longest i ever waited for a refund before and it was all because of the stupid PATH ACT bullshit but i did really receive it in 7 days after the irs was allowed by law to release our money still sucked.

[Ryan]

Filed hr block to green dot card, with fees to be taken out of refund. Ddd of 2/23.. nothing yet.. getting bummed 😟
@ Daniella Lopez
Let us know what happens on your end please :)
Thanks guys

[MEH]

Republic bank updated with my refund info this morning. I checked my bank which is Wells Fargo and there is no pending deposit yet. My ddd is 2/23 so my guess is it will prob show at midnight. I will update once I receive my refund. I will continue to check my bank account throughout the day to see if it in early. Looks like no such luck.

[Kourtnee]

@Tink
I am glad to see you got it on the DDD. I also bank with Huntington and my DDD is tomorrow. I was like PLEASE let my money be there!!! You just gave me hope.
Normally my deposits don’t hit until 3am or 4am…so I will check @ 5 am lol!

[Monique]

I’ve learned a couple of important things this year but the most important being the following:

1. PayPal prepaid MC sucks when it comes to early refund DD and
2. Get a Netspend card so that I am prepared for next year.

Item #2 is already done. My nerves are so irked right about now.

Filed HRB w/fees taken out on 1/18
Accepted 1/19
Path act msg until 2/15
Processing msg until 2/17
Called IRS to check DD scheduled date 2/17 and it was given
Two bars to date with a scheduled DD of 2/23 updated evening of 2/17

Chat session with HRB yesterday revealed they have not received fees but I am wondering if I should call BofI today. I am just really not in the mood to be strung along. I work my behind off for the Government, pay my taxes, child care, go to school for my Masters…but I can’t get my refund in a timely manner. Yet, those taxes are taken out of my check bi-weekly like clock work. Companies can lay claim to $$ in dang near nano seconds but let me try to get a refund, reimbursement, etc. of any kind. Takes 3-5 days even though it’s due to me. And then you have tax refund time… *major eye rollage*

All I want to do is pay some bills. That’s it. That’s all.

[Christy0111]

@Jamie I did just pull my transcript again and I am now showing Codes 570 and 971. So I am assuming I will be getting some kind of notice in the mail.

[trina23]

@Jamie I am still in the processing mode to @Erin did anything change for you. I dont think it did, i am waiting on the people in the second batch to get dates maybe we are those people because i havent seen anyone get any dates besides the first of people that are all on this week. Do anyone have a date for next week yet?

[Daniella Lopez]

I filed mines with HR block on 1/28 as hoh with EIC and the child credit. I was accepted on the 1/28
Im in NYS
On the irs website its saying my direct deposit date is 2/23.
I have the HR block emerald card I called them this morning at 7 am and they told me that they are updating their systems and cant see anything with my account. I can’t even look online its not allowing me

[Jamie]

@Christy0111

Most people I’ve seen who have posted about their WMR still not updating with a ddd and have called the IRS has been told that the reason is because their returns were pulled for ID verification or additional review.

I would try calling them today to see why it is being held up.

[Christy0111]

So is anyone else still “still being processed” on WMR? I filed on 1/23, accepted the same day, WMR showed PATH message until 2/18 and I have been being processed since then. Filed my BFs a week and a half after mine and he too was under the PATH law but on 2/18 got his DDD of 2/22 and received his refund this morning.

[Jamie]

Forgot to add that my WMR did not update to “sent”, it’s still only showing 2 bars.

[Matthew Haines]

DDD 2/22 Chase bank just dropped! Was so worried I entered the numbers for account and routing wrong on TT but I didn’t and just got my DD! Good luck guys see you next year!

[Erika silva]

it was pending last night. I have a Credit Union and they have a policy in writing that they post ACH Deposits the day before the “effective date” per the person sending the funds to me.

SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE GETTING THEIR MONEY THIS WEEK :-)

[AmandaGDDA]

Taxact DDD 2/23 Direct deposit to my bank account.
Republic bank shows my full amount and says it was transfered. Nothing in my account just yet but it’s definitely moving forward!

Just an update to keep your hopes high!
I’ll update when it gets to my account.

[Jamie]

I used TA and elected to have my fees taken out of my refund; I have a DDD of 2/23/2017.

I just checked Republic Bank and my federal has been received and released to PNC, so fingers crossed I will wake up to the money in my account tomorrow…WOOHOO!!!

[Christie]

Filed through TT had fees taken from refund. DD of 2/23 checked my Wells Fargo account this morning and nothing :/

[Brianna]

@ Robert- I use USAA bank. My state shows pending for today (DDD was supposed to be tomorrow) and when I checked SBTPG this am it shows they received and sent my money. DDD for fed is tomorrow also. If you go into your USAA account you should be able to see a pending deposit when the bank receives it.

[Ro]

Oh, I also had an offset from 2015. I had my reg job & did 3 side gigs that yr (science consulting), & I forgot about 1; I ended up doing my taxes short 1 w2, so they over paid me. Well, they took that out with a HUGE penalty/interest charge! Smh! But iWMR stated that so I was prepared. Jus FYI…

[Ro]

Finally! Jus woke up to a deposit ( still pending, so I’m sure its the IRS), but its available bcuz I used a prepaid card. WMR still on 2 bars.

[Alicia]

I really hate auto correct grrr.

I was saying that SBTG has released my funds to me but it has not shown up on my card yet…what gives? I used turbo tax

[Alicia]

Im confused….I just checked SBTG and it says rhetoric. only has been issued to me but there is nothing on my card as of yet…what gives?

[Vjs0503]

@kelly
@tosha

Yes it was a prepaid card & I did have to pay fees to liberty tax.

It seems like after I called JHT financial (that’s who liberty uses) they figured… “let’s release this lady’s funds she seems annoyed.”

I literally received it about an hr later.

[Kelly Flynn]

My mom and sister had money issued to them this morning from sbbt but I filed before them and they are still saying they haven’t received mine yet? Apparently they have been updating all night. WTF do they update again before they open? Or when??????

[Will-I-Am]

Christie,

IDK…Im in AZ so maybe its working across the US. lol

[Christie]

I had checked mine at like 4:45am est and nothing, boyfriend texted and asked if there were any updates at 5:05, so decided to check again and there it was!

[Will-I-Am]

I used TT fees taken out with ddd 2/23 but SBTP has not recieved my funds yet.

[Christie]

Also if you’re wondering I used TT, and had fees taken out of refund.

[Christie]

[Ana Vivian]

HI everyone Santa Barbara has just updated for those of you who used turbo tax and had fees taken out with ddd of 02/23 , i don’t see a deposit yet in my bank , put the transfer was made . Can’t wait until tomorrow :)

[Patrick]

HI folks, just an update for folks sbtpg updated. they recvd and sent my refund. my ddd was 2 23 used turbotax and walmart moneycard. nothing on the card yet but not expecting it to show up till morning. will update if it shows.

[WillBeas]

If you filed thru TT

[WillBeas]

https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com/login

You can check there, wmr is pointless once you get pass approved. It usually updates to Sent after your receive the refund.

[AmHas anyone]

Has anyone using a Walmart MoneyCard got their deposit yet? My DDD is 2/23, but I see a lot of people on here who also had DDD of 2/23 that have got their money already. I’m trying not to obsessively check my card and WMR.

[Tink]

It still had not updated on wmr tho!!! It’s still saying approved…

[Tink]

Got my deposit!!!! Just now!!!! Yay! Had a ddd of 2/22/17

[Robert]

Filed on the 21st…”ish” wondering if anyone has USAA (military bank)? I ask because I have a DDD of 2/23, claimed both credits. Via TT, having fees deducted from refund. I’ve not been able to sleep! Driving me insane!! Counting on this.

Santa Barbara bank still saying they’ve not received refund… checked bank account and no deposit. So I guess my question is, does anyone have USAA bank? And if so any refunds? Seeing others getting their refund already…just very impatient. Good reason for though.

[WillBeas]

Sbtpg updated for me!! Recd and sent on 02/22..havent showed up on Serve card yet though

[Jennifer]

Hey guys! Just wanted to post one last time. Filed 2/2 and was accepted same day. Path message and then approved beginning of last week. Saw my deposit pending on the 18th by calling the bank to verify. Told DDD would be 2/22 and received deposit at 2 am this morning. Best wishes to everyone! See ya next year!

[Dain100x]

Figured I would post one last time for everyone still waiting.

I had DDD of 2/22 and I was able to see pending deposit when I called my emerald card since the 16th but other years I have never seen anything until it showed up. I have use emerald card for 4 years and I have never seen my deposit early it is always there the morning of the DDD never sooner never later. This is the earliest I got my refund which was 11:55PM PST 2/21. So for everyone reading this that hasn’t gotten there’s and see other people getting early don’t fret. I’m sure there will be some people with DDD of 2/23 that get there’s the night before but if you aren’t one of the lucky ones it should be there tomorrow morning. Goodnight and good luck to you all

[vulvarine]

Just wanted to say that I got my refund! I use Chase bank, my DDD was 2/22, and it looks like it went through right at 12 am PST.
So if anyone else is using Chase, they’ll more than likely see their refund at 12 am of their DDD.

[maria]

[tosha]

@Vjs0503
CORRECTION
Was this a direct deposit or was this on some type of card like Emerald or Netspend???

[tosha]

@Vjs0503

What this deposit on a card or direct deposit?

[Rachel]

I too filed with earned income and the child tax credits

[Rachel]

I filed through H&R and have a message that my refund is scheduled to be sent out by the 23rd. Could I possibly get it tomorrow? I am having it put on my emerald card and the filing fees are being taken from it. Was just wondering if someone else has the same concerns. But because it says “by” should I receive it tomorrow?

[Kelly Flynn]

@Vjs where did you file? And did you have fees taken out.

[Vjs0503]

Checked my account an hour ago.
Deposit was made! :)
Waiting on state now
Sending some lucky dust to all of you.
So happy, bills are paid!!! Lol

[Tryingtobepatient]

Hello,

This is my first time filling TT w/fees.
Standard fees to be taken out refund
DDD 2/23 /NetSpend card
My question is anyone who used NetSpend,etc and DDD 2/23 w/refund .
Did the Santa Barbara site update w/funds received?

Also,
I called Santa Barbara customer service and she advised nothing yet received updates anytime through the the day (real time) .
I told her DDD 2/23 She said once they receive they take their fees and then it takes 2 days for bank to receive so I should get refund by Monday 2/27.
Is that correct?

[Amanda]

I just wanted to update everyone I filed 1/31 accepted in minutes went to path message 2/3 then on 2/16 went to the generic message of being processed then on 2/18 had a ddd for 2/22 and JUST received my refund filed with H&R Block emerald card had fees but state came on the 16th so they deducted from that. Good luck everyone it’s coming!!

[lotterywinnerjohney]

So i have h r block emarald card and a ddd of 23 and havent seen my mula yet. Good thing i dont need to pay debt. Im using it to get ahead

[Jinga]

I have a ddd of 2.23 and used amex serve card. Checked the SB website and no funds received. Do they update only once a day or any time throughout. Thought using the serve card would be 2 days faster.

[Kay]

Called US Bank.. said my DDD was 2/21 and stated i hadn’t gotten it.. rep said there is a pending DDD for 2/23.. which is my correct DDD.. i lied to get her to confirm because US Bank acts as if they can’t see pending.. so this year the IRS has dated it for the day the want us to have the money. Next year prepaid card for me.

[Judy]

Anyone on here file injured spouse with the credits and get a ddd?

[Kyo]

I always file with Turbo Tax and get my DD early in my bank. But not this time it seems.

[Screwed by IRS year after year]

To all of you who have filed through Turbo Tax, I have been filing with them for 15+ yrs. I don’t recall ever once getting my refund early. It has always been right on DDD. That is with a bank account. I have not used one of the deposit cards.

[Jmdylrc]

I got my refund at 12pm ddd 2/23 fees taken out through amex been real guys see you next year

[Blah]

Well guys, I’m in the same boat as many of you… Filed with TT, 2/23 DDD and waiting on SBTPG for movement.

Here”s to wishing us all luck tomorrow!

[Alisha0015]

Okay I filed January 27th and it was accepted January 30th my pending deposit date is for February 23rd my husband does owe about $2,500 when I called the offset number it does tell me where the money is going to and how much is going to it and it said it will be released on the 23rd of February so I’m assuming that so mean that I would not be getting my refund early because I have to wait until we pay off our debts and it’s not expected to come out until the 23rd of February that’s.

[Alicia]

I filed 1/29 and have a DDD for 2/23
I have both credits and I filed with TT with fees taken out. Still no movement on Sbgt. I have a card.com card and they usually release two days early and they release funds as soon as they receive them.

You guys are not alone…I’m still waiting too.
I just really hate how the IRS is taking their time getting people their money…we worked hard for it…I know I did. And while I have a job there are some things I wanted to treat me and my two little girls to.

[B]

I have the same offset message it hasn’t changed the amount yet did you get through to the offset line they told me I did owe an offset and gave me the phone number to who I owe I owe Michigan 700$

[Kay]

All if the IRS dated your return for 2/23 thats when your bank will release the funds. The banks are going by the dated ACH.. prepaid card is 2 days prior…

[AM88]

@Ashley @Jillian

Same boat as you guys, as well..

Filed 1/12 Accepted 1/18
PATH Message & Transcripts 1/28
DDD for 2/23 on 2/18
Used TT with fees through SBTPG
Depositing onto Greendot/Walmart MoneyCard

Still no update to SBTPG, No pending deposit, Nothing…..
Just waiting and reading all of these posts, feverishly switching between here and SBTPG, getting more and more agitated the more people I see getting updates while I am not..
F5 is worn out from refreshing.. Need alcohol.. This year has been too much.

[Vjs0503]

Okay so I filed 2/4
Ddd for 2/22
Seen people get deposits today so I was wondering where the heck is mine
I called JTH financial considering that is the bank for liberty tax since I have fees that need to be taken out.
They told me they’ve received it but won’t release it to my prepaid card until tomorrow and depending on how my prepaid card bank does deposits I will get it within 1-4 business days..

Smh -____-
Luckily I called my prepaid service and they stated they release the funds immediately after receiving them, no matter the time or day.
On another note my NY state refund still says.

We’ve received your information and it is being processed….
I get both EIC and child credit. 😩😩

[Genie]

I guess I have an account with the treasury (offset) but it is saying the my refund “could” be reduced by the amount but doesn’t say an amount. My refund is set for deposit 2/23, I’m assuming I will not have an offset since it hasn’t happened yet. I have called a few times today. The line was down around noon pacific standard time (west coast). But was back up pretty quick. Has anyone had that message but had it change today? I have been seeing people say the amount of the offset and that it already happened etc. , I’m hoping it isn’t going to happen and that if it it does it won’t hold up the remaining balance of my refund.

[Ashley]

@Jillian

I also used TT and had fees deducted from my refund. DDD 2/23 still no update on SBBT, says they haven’t received my funds.
Just want you to know you’re not alone.

[JOB]

2/22 ddd through tt to netspend card
this morning I saw that my refund was released by sbtpg and just got deposit

[Ryan]

@jd
Thank you!

[Jd]

@Ryan,
I use green dot every year for the past few years. They will load it to your card as soon as they receive it. I also have a date for the 23rd I was hoping to get it earlier but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. I hope this helps you some

[Jillian]

Hey has anyone that used Turbo Tax see that Santa Barbara Bank has received their funds? I have a DDD is 2/23, but no update from SB bank yet, and no pending deposit to my account.

[MizuSeirei]

OK for those of us who have chosen to file and pay our state tax fees out of our federal refund. . . . Here is my story.

I had fees taken out for my state return as an option. I checked the SBBT, and they couldn’t find my information, but it seems that as soon as I started writing them for information on what happened, I saw my pending deposit. SMH. I filed with TaxHawk with the option of paying for my state return out of my federal. NEVER AGAIN! I will be paying the $15 up front from now on. All of that for $24.24? The least that could have been done was update their system!

Check your bank / credit union. You may already have a pending deposit. I filed 1/23 and have a ddd of 2/22.

Oh…. and my information is still listed as UNAVAILABLE with SBBT!

I have been humble and knowing that everyone in the threads are going through a world of a lot while waiting on their refunds. I will spare you the trouble of adding my wait troubles to the thread. Just know this. . . . I have an idea where you are coming from. I will never say that I know how you all feel, because we are all different, and suffer in different ways. Just know that I am praying for you all to have your returns by tonight/tomorrow. As a victim of ID theft, I know that the new law was placed to help those who suffered the horrors of ID tax fraud. It is a complete nightmare! I also know that this years wait was a complete headache for the vast majority of us. It hurts to know that the vast majority had to suffer because of the few who chose to commit fraud. You are all in my prayers. I will stay in the shadows of the thread until it sleeps until next year. For many of you who will disappear after you receive your refunds, I want to say. . . . Until Next Time.

[Jenn]

Update: Awful. I call H&R Block back and spoke with a supervisor trying to find out if what the other rep told me was accurate (I would get my refund today) and I was told that they do not have any information on my refund and I was given wrong information. I am extremely frustrated because I went from being told it’s coming today to “I have no idea when you are getting it”. I was on the line for a long time trying to find out where the previous rep got that information and the supervisor just kept apologizing and saying that they are going to go over their procedures with their reps to make sure they are giving the correct information. I was told that some people have received their funds today, but they have not gotten anything for me. Also, over the course of the last week I have called a few times and each and every rep confirmed that I would get my refund on the same day (one said within 1 business day) but the supervisor said that H&R block can take up to 5 days to process returns. He also mentioned that this is a cushioned time and that it is not true for most people. This is so frustrating. Living in limbo here… =(

[Kay]

Ok.. US Bank customers…i just spoke with a Csr rep that informed me that ACH’s are not placed into accounts until the date the agency sending specifys, so with that being said if your date falls on 2/23 that is when you should receive it.

[Ryan]

Hi,
Same boat here as most of you. Used HR Block, have a date for 2/23. Nothing yet but using a Green Dot card to have funds loaded to. My paycheck is deposited to my Netspend and now I wish I would’ve just had the return put on it. But my question is if anyone else having loaded to a Green Dot card.. If anyone knows if there is any different process for Green Dot etc.. thanks

[Chris]

@Casey

im in the same boat, but me and my wife have been married for 5 years now, last year though we went through some problems and filed seperated last year, thank god we have since recongciled and we filled joint this year, well my wife owed some money left from last year, when i called saturday an agent said my social has been ok but hers has been flagged due to possible fees having to be taken out, she didnt give me a date when it will be done but basiclly thats all thats holding us up and once that is processed the return will be sent….

[Casey]

Can anyone answer this question for me..
I just got married last year and this was my first year filing a joint return.. I called today and spoke to a representative who said I am still seeing the “being processed ” message because my refund is being held to see if we owe any money or anything of those sorts, Which my husband does..So, does that mean that my refund has been processed and approved but not sent because of the owed money? I was also able to order both transcripts as of yesterday which someone told me was a good sign.. I have been waiting since Jan 26th which is when I filed and was accepted. I know it seems odd to be asking but I’m not sure if it was approved and we’re just waiting or if it’s held up from being approved because of his owed fees..? I don’t know much about taxes.were counting on this money and I’m just trying to figure it out

[Jenn]

@Michele H&R Block emerald card uses the BofI bank. I’m not sure how your bank works, but you could call and find out how long they take to process funds (if you haven’t already). I know some banks are releasing today, like Wells Fargo I think (at least that’s the word on FB), but for some reason some banks are holding the funds until DDD. I guess they do not feel obligated or maybe they do not have the staffing to get all of the funds out on the day of. I am not 100% sure if I will get mine today through Emerald, but the rep did say so. I really hope she is right. I know some of them are misinformed. Next year I really want to use netspend lol, because most people with netspend got theirs already. I am going to find away to avoid fees. I’ve read that TurboTax does a thing where they provide free tax filing for people with kids. So next time it’s turbotax and netspend. Lets pray everyone gets their returns today because god knows we need it!

[Michele]

@jenn….
I knew I should have gotten an emerald card! I used H&R Block like you and had my fees taken out, but used my bank account for my dd. I wonder if H&R Block is able to release them to the emerald cards today if they will release it to my bank today?

Also…and this could be for many people waiting. If you filed like I did through a tax preparer like H&R Block or tax act or whoever and I did not pay your filing fees upfront, your whole return goes to the preparer first and then on to your bank or prepaid card so in that case wouldn’t the whole though process about the banks holding the refund until the DDD not apply? I mean if your preparer gets it, takes their fees then send it to your bank the DDD wouldn’t really apply because you aren’t getting your refund from the IRS anymore, you are actually getting it from the preparers bank right ? Unless your preparer post dates the deposit which it seems they would ever care to bother with that and end up having to answer extra calls from people wanting to know where their money is. You would think they would just send it since they have already gotten their $ out of it.

[Jenn]

I may have good news for a lot of Emerald card (H&R Block) clients. I just spoke with a representative and asked if my money was pending. It is not pending on my account yet. So I asked if she could tell me if I have any fees owes (advance, plus h&r block fee balance) and she told me no. That means it has been paid. So I questioned “if it’s been paid that means you guys got the money?” At first the rep tried to tell me to call the IRS, but I asked “how would that help when Emerald has clearly already received my funds?”. After a little struggle she ended up telling me that they have received my money and that I will be getting it today. I confirmed “Are you sure I will be getting it today?” and she said “yes, keep checking your balance, we are waiting for the system to update”. I have a ddd for 2/23, filed on 1/20, had fees taken out, married filed jointly with two kids on the east coast. I got my update on WMR on 2/18 (your return is processing).

I asked her if people were getting their funds today and she said that yes, many have already gotten, but more are waiting like me (for the system to update). So I believe this will be great news and I hoping she is right! I will update when I get my deposit (hopefully today, like she said).

[TiffanyH]

So happy for those who hit tonight. We used Jackson Hewitt and our AMEX Server card. We used them last year as well. Have a ddd of 2-23. Passed years we always got it before the IRS site updated. Sure am hoping soon.

[WakeUp]

I called my tax place and they said they not releasing checks until Friday after 12, just thought I let ppl know who didn’t use paycards or accounts just checks

Anywho I hope everyone who has there money try to save some a least 500 , they do this to use low income ppl because they can let just to beat the system they will be holding these credit until the Feb 15 from here on out

[Genie]

@Fransisca

I bank with Wells Fargo too and it is my understanding that they do not see deposits ahead of time. They pop right into our accounts when they get to the bank, same day. We can expect them on the DDD, bummer but beats not knowing.

Also, I have prepared my own taxes online with HR Block for several years now, no delays or errors ever. I pay fees up front ( $30-$40 depending on my forms and choice of package)

I would love to have the netspend card and have an early return but prepaid cards don’t offer a live banker and a physical branch, two things I like to have.

[trey]

Filed 1/31 Accepted same day update to the path2/11 then updated to approve 1/17 no fees to pay and getting it on my work card called the treasury department they said the havent gotten anything for my account yet??? So confused.

[Holls]

Does anyone know how to check if fees have been taken out for H&R Block. I have a DDD 02/23. I’m just curious. I see you can check with others banks but I can’t find a way to check with H&R Block.

[Genie]

@D Sheidy

Thanks for that bit of info. I have Wells Fargo too and was praying for my refund a few days early. Started to think of the worst when a bunch of people saw their money this morning. I’m extremely happy just to know its almost here! Cheers :-)
Accepted in test batch and had PATH message. Got the processing message on the 16th of Feb (if I’m remembering right) and then DDD on the 18th. EIC / ACTC

[Kdigg going crazy]

Still waiting 2/22 date have Usbank and Walmart card still nothing an no pending with Usbank ………………

[D Sheidy]

My fiance and I both use Wells Fargo. He filed without any credits on 1/30 and was accepted the same day. He received a ddd for 2/8 on 2/4. Nothing showed in Wells Fargo until the ddd. Your refund will be there on your ddd. I have a ddd for 2/23. I don’t expect to see anything in there until then.

[Bronson]

it’s still pretty early for millions of returns to have been sent out remember they were closed yesterday

[Marissa]

Im pretty sure this is the last year i file with turbo tax. Sbbt is so irritating. I read on my other website that i was on that sbbt updates 1pm est. So we will see soon i am guessing. Or should I say praying it does.

[Francesca]

So, I filed a joint return 2/2 and was accepted same day. Paid fees upfront. Claimed both EIC & ACTC. WMR updated 2/17 with DDD date of 2/22. I bank with Wells Fargo and I don’t see any pending deposits to my account. Also called a banker and they stated that they don’t reflect anything being sent from the treasury department.

This bites….Really need this money for an insurance deductible that is going to have to be met for a surgical procedure that I have to have done due to health condition I suffer :-(

Anyone else have this same issue?

[Joyl]

I think the prepaid cardholders who did not go through sbbt are the ones seeing their deposits. The ones who went through sbbt are out of luck (like me) lol. I cant even go to their website and check. It wont load.

[Screwed by IRS year after year]

Perhaps I needed to post my question elsewhere, as it is off topic. My apologies. I have only been posting to this thread since my return had ACTC. Mods, delete my previous comment, if necessary.

[Angeleea Miller]

I sure hate that everyone is going through this struggle. I wish you all the best of luck with this waiting game. It looks as if most of us just have a couple more days to wait :) Stay strong and positive. Hopefully we all wake up in the morning with our money. Or better yet, this afternoon!

[Screwed by IRS year after year]

I wish there was a thumbs up button for some of these comments. Question. Does anyone know why a requested DD would be changed to a paper check being mailed? There were no problems that I know of with the return. It is going into one account only. WMR is showing the refund amount I was expecting with no offsets. My state return is listed as pending in my bank account and I filed with TT, so it obviously was not an error entering bank account number or anything. Just trying to troubleshoot here so I can get it as a DD next year.

[Nek]

Filed 1/28 accepted same day recieved path message on the 15 until the 17 moved to approve with ddd of 2-22 just checked santa barbra my fees have been deducted and sent to my greendot card , finally i can pay my debts and open up my new business

[Chanel Jefferson]

Filed 1/31/17 through TacxAct

Received & Approved 2/17/17

DDD 2/22/17

Just checked the Republic Bank website and as of today, my fees were taken out and my funds have been sent out by direct deposit to my bank account. I have BB&T. No pending transactions in my bank account as of yet.

[The Refund Struggle is REAL]

Filed 1/17
accepted 1/18
wheres my refund status changed 2/16 – with ddd 2/23.

This has been a long agonizing & frustrating process. I just want my money already. Im just done with this waiting game. I wish everyone the best of luck with their refunds and may the irs hurry their a!# up . Have a good morning everyone.

[Me]

I filed and was accepted 1/25 with EIC. my DDD is 2/22. I paid fees up front and my refund is going to my bank. It showed as pending yesterday. So it’s just hanging out there until tomorrow. It’s nice to see it there, though.

My state is still being held hostage until March 1st as my state decided not to release refunds with EIC until then.

[melissa]

I got my deposit last night. I have a netspend. Had a DDD of 2/24. Received a text that the deposit was on my card around 8 p.m. last night.

[JSH2017]

I HATE HATE HATE the people who feel the need to ‘educate’ others (cough-RELLY-cough) or put them down… that said, I feel the need to say the obvious.

You can ask the question “will me DDD post early. please help!” over and over but, honestly, what are you asking for? NO ONE can answer that question. No ONE. Some people will get them early, some won’t. PERIOD. There is absolutely NO WAY to answer that question. Speaking as someone who stressed to the max until I got my DDD, you are just spinning yourself out.

You NEED to EXPECT NOT TO GET THE $$ UNTIL THE DDD AT THE *EARLIEST* and if you get it early, that is an unexpected bonus.

I am NOT trying to be a butthead but I see a few people asking this in an almost manic way and it is really puzzling to me what they want anyone on here to say when they end with “please help”.

[jcp5276]

filed 2/5, accepted 2/6. on 2/10 got the PATH Act message and 2/18 it updated to a DDD of 2/23. Filed through Jackson Hewitt. Republic still has not been given my refund but I disagree with the whole “Bank holds 5-10 days” statement because I have always used Jackson Hewitt or H&R Block and have always gotten my return on the DDD with no waiting.

[Princess Of The World]

My estimated ddd is 2-23. This morning I show a deposit pending for that date in my account now. In past years it has deposited early, but i guess it may not be released early this year.

[Mat]

@angel

As I previously stated, “there are no rules at the IRS”, which is why they don’t release a schedule anymore.

I said not to expect your refund until those dates because it is the best course of action. With a system so large handling so many accounts with so many deposits, of course people will receive their refunds before WMR updates. This is not an air-tight system, this is America.

I said don’t expect your refund until then because disappointment is the result of not getting what you expected. No expectations, no disappointment. I was offering general advice to everyone still waiting to help relieve as much suffering as possible.

The bottom line is this:

It’s not fair and there’s nothing you can do about it now. Calling the IRS and checking WMR a thousand times a day will do nothing. Check WMR once in the morning and also the account it’s to be deposited in. Then let go.

The suffering of waiting for these refunds comes from our dependency on them. So use this time to practice patience and practice living without it and then let that be your goal. Find a way to improve life so that you don’t need this anymore, then this won’t be a problem anymore.

Whether you need the refund for bills or to keep you from being evicted, know that it’s out of your hands. And then find peace in that, knowing that what happens is not your fault.

Just do your best. Your money is coming. It’ll be here when it gets here, and not one moment sooner.

[JSH2017]

DDD 02/23/17

02/21/17 (today) – MY DDD IS PENDING ON MY ACCOUNT :-)

WMR – 2 bars

[trina23]

@Angel

My nephew got his today and his DDD date is on the 24th so i know for sure that you can receive your money before the third bar, he used his netspend card.

@ERIN

I am not saying that i am glad that you are waiting as well but i am glad that I am not alone. I get upset every morning when i check the status and nothing has changed.. OMG but oh well it is noting that we can do but wait. Make sure you let me know as soon as you get an update.

[Angel]

@Matt Uhm, are you sure? I always get my money before they update WMR. I have gotten my money every time earlier than expected. I have always had no bars. I always file after I get my w2 and school form. We normally receive it in Jan with the exception of one year my school decided to release our forms late Feb and got it in March. This is the FIRST year I have had to wait and what about all the people that have a DDD to be sent by 2/22 that have their money on netspend?

[Erin]

@trina23 yes, they are testing us with staying positive. I’m glad it’s not just us that has not received a date yet. For the most part, it seems there are just randomly completing our taxes. I pray that we get an update soon. The more I check the more frustrated I get. Glad everyone else has received their refund.

[TallDrink]

I filed 1/28 and it was accepted the same day. I still don’t have the WMR update, still shows processing. I am claiming another child this year so I believe that’s probably whats taking so long….I’m sure I’m under “review” :(

[Angel]

Oh, sorry about that my computer like froze. I was going to say that I am still waiting on deposit but someone told us to not get off topic. Are we not allowed to update here anymore? I didn’t know it was a DDD “only” forum.

[Angel]

[Mat]

If your progress is at the second bar and WMR says:
“Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by February XX, 2017”
—That is NOT a DDD.

A DDD (Direct Deposit Date) is the date the money will be released to your bank. You will see the third bar on WMR with a message that says:
“Your refund was sent to your bank on February XX, 2017 for direct deposit.”

This message will come up after the money has been actually sent by the IRS. Any delay after is solely on the bank.

The date you receive on Bar 2 (Approved) is an estimation, and 9/10 times they wait until that day to send it.

It’s entirely possible to have a Bar 3 status (sent) with a date in the future that reads:

“Your refund will be sent to your bank on February XX, 2017 for direct deposit.”

Expect your money on that day. If you are at Bar 2 then don’t expect your money to be sent or the status to change until that date. It sucks but there are no rules at the IRS and the best way to combat this is to adjust your W-4 next year so that they don’t get an interest free loan on the money you paid.

[trina23]

@erin you sound like me. i have given up as well, I have not received a date either and i filed on 1/23 and was accepted on 1/23 but i still have no date. I am trying to stay positive but it is very hard.

[trina23]

I still dont have my date yet but my nephew got his refund last night on his netspend card.

[Dbltrouble]

@mamaK

I don’t show anything yet either and used efile with eps taking fees, with the same date as you. They were right on time last year so I expect the same this year as well. But we shall see!

[KayKay]

All I would highly suggest looking into to Prepaid cards for next year. I can say it is safe to say we all will have this issue again. If banks are holding OUR funds then we need not keep sending Tax refunds their way. People have bills, I have a friend on the verge of eviction in 3 days.. filed on Jan 25, got her dd of 2/23 and still no funds this morning. I truly feel bad as she received court papers on a Sunday. I hope her money shows up, I feel like ppl will have already spent their whole tax on trying to catch up on bills by the time they get their funds. Net spend is 1, but I would suggest looking into cards where you see folks had dd 2/22 but got there money on cards 1/17, now that’s great business!

[Lynn]

So I filed on 1/31 not completely sure when I was accepted. I was given a DDD of 2/22, I checked SBBT this morning and it says my fees have been deducted and my refund has been sent to my bank. I bank with PNC and as of right now there are no pending deposits. The bank doesn’t open until 8 am so hopefully by noon today if not tomorrow I’ll have my deposit.

[StrugglingMOMSunite]

Basically what @Mat said. My bank is not showing any pending deposits so yeah tomorrow I feel like we will wake up and it will say sent on WMR and then whenever it hits our banks will be a relief. I honestly think I want to go to a prepaid card for next year…

[Jennifer]

DDD 2/22. Fees taken out by republic bank. Republic said they received my refund and sent it to my bank.

[StrugglingMOMSunite]

No, I don’t believe anyone has gotten their money yet (according to fb). We have to wait until the bank opens and sometime today the money should be there unless the IRS physically will not be releasing the next group of people until today, then you all should get it by 2/27. I talked to our bank and banks usually for some reason take 5-10 business days. So literally tomorrow will start the fifth day. Although it may not be true for everyone but this is just what I found for us that are still waiting.

[Erin]

@stacy

I still don’t have a ddd. I filed on the 30th of jan. I’ve seen people after me get their update. Idk what the irs is doing but I’m giving up on checking.

[Stacy]

Does anyone still have no DDD date. I filed and was accepted on the 7th. I had my status bar for a few days then it was gone with just a status that mine refund was still being processed and no longer shows a refund amount. Several people that was accepted on the same day or after mine has already received their DDD.

[KayKay]

Has anyone with US bank with a DD of 2/23 gotten their money this morning?

No funds available as of yet :(

Nothing yet!! TT 02/23 ddd
Last yr unless tt switch banks..im serious af right now, in not gonna let this die. They do not practice business for taxpayer, they are only worried about their bottom line. After alot of research, I’m hearing they only send to your bank once they receive the funds, they dont prenote to your bank as the irs does for them.

And @Tina this thread states EIC and ACTC filers update, so they are updating there status. Have a good morning!!

[Tina]

You guys please stop going off topic! I follow this thread because I have yet to receive my DDD. I’m happy for those who received your DDD, but damn you WILL get your deposit! Be patient or start a thread regarding it!!! Please stop posting about when or what time should you expect your refund!

I meant fees.. Not funds.. My bad

[MamaKx3]

Hello was wondering if anyone filed through E-file.com? WMR says DDD 2/23 and when I check the bank they use to take funds out(EPS financial) it has no record of deposit being received yet.. Kinda getting worried that something is up with my refund.

[Laura barnes]

Just checked wmr and we still only have 2 bars…that is for both my husband and I…we also live on the east coast and had no fees taken out due to using the free filing through the irs website…we filed using h&r block and had the refunds directly deposited to both of our rush cards..I got an email stating “u received $30 for the refer a friend promo”..when hubby checked my account seeing why I had gotten that email he than realized that my refund was deposited…we checked his rush card right after and he too received his refund…we found out about the deposit around 11:15-11:30pm. Hubby and i were just talking about the fact that if he had never seen the email about referring a friend money deposited to my card (i think it only works when you make your first deposit not sure though since the only reason we got these cards were for our taxes since they don’t hold the money just gets directly put in as soon as they receive the info from the irs)..we prob wouldn’t have checked any more tonight and we would of found out tomorrow when we would of checked again…so glad we did lol we were able to run the the store earlier to get a few things we needed for coffee in the morn…good luck all i hope everyone gets an early deposit over night…sorry it’s so long good night everyone it’s 3 am and 730 comes mighty quick lol

[AmandaGDDA]

Fees taken out (of refund) = did not pay fees up front.

Hope that helped!

[Lacy]

for those saying they had fees taken out, did you pay up front?

[WakeUp]

For the people that have gotten your refunds back, does it say sent on wmr? I did my taxes through a tax place, the money gets deposited to their account then I get a paper check.

I have EIC and CTC with DDD of 2/23. I filed 2/3 and accepted minutes later. I was approved 2/19…Today 2/20 at 10:36pm CT I received my refund on my NetSpend card. Filed with taxact and had fees taken out too btw. Goodluck to everyone!

No sign of my federal return yet.

Keep updating guys!
Good luck!

[Amanda]

DDD 2/22 FILED THROUGH TAX ACT HAVE FEES TAKEN OUT SO IT HAS TO GO THROUGH REPUBLIC BANK BEFORE HITTING MY PRE PAID CARD. NO MONEY YET. ANYONE ELSE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING???

[Jenn]

It seems many of the fast cards (ex: netspend) are getting their refunds about now. I think it will take a little longer for those who go through banks (chase, wells fargo, emerald card (BofI)). I have also been reading that the time you get your refund sent may actually have to do with your location. I believe the West coast gets it hours ahead of the East coast, but I am not 100% sure on that. Hopefully it will be there in the morning for those who haven’t gotten it yet. I filed 1/20 and have a ddd of 2/23, banking with emerald. Still no refund for me. Good luck all. I will definitely update when I get mine.

[Tosh]

Ps..if you have a prepaid card check now!!! =)=)

[Alisha0015]

I was wondering when the wmr update to refund sent, will it show me how much is being sent to my card, because my husband owes money and I already checked the offset hotline so I know the amount that I’m seeing is not the amount we are going to receive. The funds are suppose to be on the carx on 2/23

[chris]

@Ro

i did chose Direct deposit, im just wondering what is taking so long with them just taking out what is owed and releasing the rest

[Amanda]

DDD 2/22 FEES TAKIN PUT TO REPUBLIC BANK AND DD TO PREPAID CARD AND STILL NO DEPOSIT 😭

[Ro]

@Chris

It doesn’t take any additional time. They will take out what is owed and deposit the rest into your account if u chose direct deposit. Once your refund is approved, WMR will update stating the balance that you will receive on your initial DDD

[chris]

i called today to speak to someone about my return, I filed 1/24 and was accepted same day with Child credits, i waiting 1 hour and 15 min before i got through.

come to find out my social has been run and everything is fine, but they ran my wives and she owes money from last year. we where separated last year, since have gotten back together and filed jointly again this year. for whatever reason they wont release our funds until they take out what is owed.

any idea how long that could take? i was so hopeful on a DD this week, god knows i need it. any info can help a bunch

[Brittani]

I have ddd of 2/23. I called h and r block Saturday and they said I had a ddd of 2/19. I called 2/19 and they received my funds and already took out the refund transfer fees. They still haven’t released it because the bofi bank they use weren’t open today.

[Kyo]

So deposits only coming right now for people with prepaid cards? :(

[Food for thought]

@Jody

Did you have fees taken?

[Relly]

Netspend deposit just landed @ 9:50PM

All you prepaid debit card users with DD dates of 2/23 should be getting deposits between now and tomorrow night hopefully.

[Just reporting]

I’m simply REPORTING what is blowing up on FB:

Netspend peeps reporting deposit so!

The federal reserve is now open and processing the ACH’s ( which is true because the person who reported it did post a link ).

Here’s to all of us! Please come back and report when you see your money!

[Jody]

Had ddd of 2/23/17
$ just hit my card.

[John]

@Jamie

Because ach transactions are dated the banks have no obligation to give you the funds until that date when they can collect there money from the irs first so if your ddd is the 22nd thats when the bank can secure the money on there side (some banks and finacial institutes do however release them earlier a good example is netspend) you have been able to see your pending deposit because the irs sent the 22nd dd ach info on the 17th because banks dont receieve them on the weekends and on some holidays Presidents day included

[John]

Eic , path
ddd 2/23
id verified in 2015 for tax season 2014

Just gonna throw this out there

the irs usually sends deposit info 2 days in advance kinda like a pre dated paycheck being mailed early to insure funds are received on time so yes if you dont have an offset, and you dont have fees taken out netspenders and other banks that dont hold funds should have there money sometime tommorow 2/21

[John]

@Jennifer if your bank is showing a pending deposit it could be anytime untill the deposit is set to clear (your ddd) if they said the 22nd i would count on that day (it still could come earlier but it is at the discretion of your bank now)

[Jamie]

I have a question that i haven’t seen asked yet. I filed through TA, electing to have my fees deducted from my return. My state refund was processed through Republic Bank on 2/7 & my fees were deducted out of it; will my federal return still go through RB or dd into my checking account since I’ve already paid my fees?

[Jennifer]

So if my deposit is pending already in my bank, will it post tmrw or am I waiting until Wed? I have First National and was told it’s been pending for almost 4 days! The bank told me it would be released on Wed but they also said just BC it was pending didn’t mean it had been received by them yet! Is this true? Is there hope for the a.m.? Just curious

[MizuSeirei]

I have fees that are to be taken because I paid for my state with my federal. Biggest mistake ever made on my part. Now I have to wait for SBB to take the fees and transfer to my CU.

[MizuSeirei]

@Michele I filed 1/23 and accepted the same day. My DDD is 2/22.

[Michele]

@MiziSeirei……
Is your DDD 2/22 or 2/23? I was asking because mine is the 23rd, but since you said that tomorrow it will be but 24hrs until your DDD. I have seen several people that have a DDD of 2/22/17 posting that they either got their deposits on Friday 2/17/17 or that it was pending with their bank on the 17th. I am hoping that if the people who have a DDD of 2/22/17 got their money on 2/17/17, that the group of us who have a DDD 2/23/17 will get their money tomorrow which is the first day the federal reserve will open since last week.

[Ten1seven]

I just want to jump ahead to some time next week, walk the long walk to the mail box, dust off the cobwebs and find my little ol check in there :) picking up extra shifts at the hospital left and right to make the time fly!!

[MizuSeirei]

@Justin I too am waiting on Santa Barbra bank for fees and transfer of funds. It’s sad because of the holiday, and tomorrow is but 24 hours from the calculated DDD.

[Waiting…]

OK, Thank you @Hm

[Hm]

@Waiting…
I usually receive it before the DDD
Atleast 2 days before

[Waiting…]

@HM So does Chase deposit on your DD always or will they deposit when received? I just started banking with them and am dying to know lol

[MistyBlue]

@Ellie I choose to always be humble, less stressful that way ;) Thank you for your kind words and I hope you get yours soon.

[Ellie]

it’s folks like you @MistyBlue that I hope wake up to a surprise DD. Not expecting much but grateful for what that do get. I hope you get yours first!

Well you and @willbeas cuz he has kept me laughing most of the long wait!

I am reading up on short term time travel myself… Just in case lol

[MistyBlue]

This is the first year in quite a few that WMR has updated before I got my refund. I am hoping it comes in the morning, but not too excited for it because it has been disappointing tax season thus far, so it will probably be on 2/23. I am not getting a whole lot, but enough to help out especially while my husband is laid off. I hope for those that need it, you wake up pleasantly surprised and able to take care of any financial burdens you may be suffering from today.

[Hm]

Filed 1/24 ACTC
DDD 2/23

I bank with chase!
My Funds are always deposited 2-3 days before the WMR date
Dumbs 👍🏼
But this year who knows

[Kyo]

DDD of 2/23 still nothing.
Really hoping for tomorrow. Every year I always get it earlier than the DDD. Always use TurboTax.

[Dsquared83]

I have been checking republic bank and they haven’t recieved mine either. I have a DDD of 2/23.

[Justin]

I used turbo tax I got a DD of 2/22/17 and I keep checking the Santa Barbara web site and it is telling me they didn’t receive my return yet.any body els with that issue

[Jmdylrc]

@ Michelle hopefully that is the case but from what I have from here and on the treasury dept website they are closed today so I think that the earliest would be tomorrow but like I said hopefully you are right

[Michele]

I am not sure if it will be the same as last year, but I do remember that when it was close to my DDD date that I would check my bank account every morning to see if it was there and then one afternoon before my DDD my HusB called me because he had gone to the ATM at lunch to get some cash out for lunch and noticed the higher than normal balance on the withdrawal slip. I had checked around 10am and it wasn’t there, but when he went to lunch which was about 3pm it was there so I think they can release the funds anytime now or maybe only until 2pm or whatever the official cut off time is for deposits. My point is if you check it in the morning, yousy want to check it in the afternoon too if you are eager to get it, which most people including myself are. I hope people come back and post if/when they receive their deposits, but most people are on here trying to find out info as to when they might receive it, so they probably won’t come back on here after they get it just because they will be busy paying bills and all.

[D Sheidy]

My fiance and I both used Turbo Tax this year. He didn’t have any credits. He filed on Jan. 30th and was accepted that same day. He received the approved bar on WMR site on Saturday, Feb. 4th with a ddd for 2/8. It went into the bank on that very same day. I just checked the Santa Barbara Bank web and they received the funds on 2/7, the day before. I filed with EIC on 1/17, and received my approved bar on Saturday, the 18th with my ddd for 2/23. I don’t expect to receive it any time before based on how he received his. Hope this helps!

[Kimikaze]

Please stay on topic and move on from off-topic conversation and banter.

[Ty]

I have a emerald card spoke to someone and I was told by the people who work there their won’t be any pending deposites the fund will be available as soon as they receive it I filed with H&R Block

[Tom]

There are just as many, and even more lucrative tax credits for people who 50k and above. EIC is basically put in place to reduce the burden for families who, in all honesty, shouldn’t be paying taxes in the first place.

The problem here is not how much or how little taxes you pay vs the amount you get back… The problem is prevailing wage is a joke. When someone works and the cost of living increases but your wages do not, it can kill your budget and eventually you get to a point where you drown.

We had a similar discussion at an economics mixer here at work. If everyone, and I mean the wealthy and the poor, payed their share of taxes, the lines between the classes wouldn’t be so thick.

There is a lot wrong with the system, yes. However, giving someone EIC is not going to break the system, nor will removing these credits fix it.

[Meagan]

Yeah if the funds were transferred through a middle man bank before being routed they def could have dropped in accounts today. The rollover times are weird.

[Tom]

I mean, it’s not entirely impossible. It depends on a lot of things, prepaid accounts don’t take the day off for holidays. However, there is no way the deposit could have been initiated today.

[Your Good Friend]

Some on FB said they got their refunds minutes ago…

[Tom]

You get your DDD from the IRS not the Treasury or Reserve, and it is a predetermined date depending on when you were approved. WMR updating is independent from anything else. The IRS gives you a DDD, then tells the Treasury to send and release that money on that day.

[Meagan]

Just be thankful you have a DDD and haven’t been frozen in a PATH/”Refund being processed” status for 18 days lol good luck everyone! On some other pages people got updates today. The IRS is open 7-7 if you feel you need to contact them regarding refund issues but their main goal was to pull 12 hours and get as many refunds processed as possible in hopes to hold up their statement of ETIC filers having their returns by 2/27. Ive checked my WMR too many times today and locked myself out so Ill have to wait til tomorrow to be disappointed all over again ;)

[Joe Malmstead]

I keep hearing that the reserve is closed today for Presidents’ Day, that being said you’d think the reserve would have been closed on Saturday when we all got the ddd of 2-23. I have my NetSpend card and my guess would be that it’s going to load on there sometime tomorrow afternoon. If not on Tuesday I won’t get my hopes up to have my return until thursday

[BigG91]

Has anyone’s money deposited or showing pending in their sccount?

Mines is still saying approved and date of 2/23. Just wondering is anyone is getting theirs early.

[trina23]

hello, so did anyone on this forum get an update with a date today or are they closed?

[Jenn]

@Irene the reps at H&R Block stated that the fees will come out automatically and we should get it by our deposit day, by 5pm. Though, they do leave a window open, by always adding to call back if you haven’t gotten it by the 27th or 28th. Hopefully this will not be the case and we will get our deposits before or on our DDD.

[Irene Calderon]

Correction on last post my DDD is Feb 24 I did my taxes on line H&R Block they are taking there fee out of my return will I still get it on the 24th? Did anyone else have this process and how long did it take to get your money after they got there funds? Please help any answers would help.

[Jenn]

@trina23 I appreciate the response. Thanks for letting me know. I hope everything works out for you too. God bless you too.

On another note: For people with Emerald cards who filed through H&R Block, The bank that Emerald uses is one of the banks that will not release deposits today. I called out of curiosity to see if they received a deposit yet for me (ddd 2/23, filed on 1/20) and they did not. Some of the representatives have told me over the past few days that we will see our deposits basically as soon as they see them, but one stated that it will be within one business day. I’m assuming it would be more accurate to say within one business day. I am not sure if there is a specific time of day they stop sending deposits to accounts, because one of the reps told me that it can be anytime (day, night, weekend), but that doesn’t make sense to me, because if that were true than I’d think we could get on President’s Day as well.

[Irene Calderon]

My DDD date is Jan 24th but funds are coming out of my return is that going to hold up my DDD? Please help anyone have the same issue?

[trina23]

@jenn sorry that you thought I was talking about your post but i was not. I have not been following all the post and reading them. I was just putting that point in there because I have read some post were people would say things to that nature but not you personally. Sorry that you felt that way. I pray that everything works out for you and your family… God bless you.

[Alicia]

I updated Saturday around 5am to 2/23…so did my sister. I filed in 1/29 and she was an early filer and filed the first or second week of January but our DDD is for the same day. She has both credits as well as myself.

[Mom of 2]

I filed with H & R Block. I was getting worried so I called the IRS on Friday, February 17, 2017. I was lucky enough to have a representative that really listened. There have been times that I have called in the past and they’ve been so rude. I asked her if she could look at the status of my refund because my status went from PATH message to processing and it seems to have just been stuck there. I wanted to know if there was a problem because my brother had filed way after me (with EIC and ACTC) and had already gotten a DDD and she told me that nothing was wrong. Usually, you will be notified right away if there was any sorts of problems and that a message would appear when you check the WMR. She went on to tell me there was no order in which Refunds were being processed. She told me they were just processed at random and I told her that wasn’t right. She told me to check the WMR the next day and sure enough it was approved with a DDD.

[Donovan]

I filed and got accepted 2/1 got my path message 2/10 got the “processing” message 2/16 and still have it… my cycle code is 20170605.. can anybody tell me what this means or when I can expect an update of a DDD ?

[Mom of 2]

I filed on January 23 and got accepted that day. I just got my DDD for February 23, 2017 on Saturday, February 18. I filed EIC and ACTC.

[Casey]

I’ve read that if you can order both your transcripts that’s a good sign.. Is this true? I filed and was accepted Jan 26th. Had bars then Had path for weeks and instead of updating on the 16th my wmr status returned to “still being processed” and remains there still.. I have tried to call and speak to an agent with no luck so I decided to try and order my transcripts. I successfully ordered the both of them but I don’t really know what it means. Have my taxes finally been processed? Will my status update soon

[trina23]

@Brian23, again i am thankful for you guys. I need my money even though i am not getting that much due to me owing the state but the little bit i am getting i need it. I am not a dead beat i work 40 hours a week on a job that i have been on for 14 years at a healthcare facility and this is not for you but for some negative people thinking that only the people that sit at home and do nothing need there money. That is so not true.

[Renae]

-Meagan
Anyone that just received transcripts in the mail may not have updated copies. Others have said you can have transcripts faxed if you call in to request. There are several fax apps that will allow you to receive faxes on your phone, Google fax, etc just look in your Android playstore. You will get a fax number to give IRS rep.

[Bri]

@meagean I was told to wait for a letter by a rep on Thursday I got my ddd on Saturday for 2/23
Filed 1/23 with tax act EITC and actc. Already received my ny state return.

[trina23]

@BRIAN23 @MEGAN, I am thankful for this forum because for some reason i thought i was the only one that has not been processed, lol. everyone that i know personally have there dates even someone taxes that i did way after mine got there date and i am like WTH.

[Brian 23]

@trina23 nothing changed for me today, i still got the “still processing” message :(

[Brian 23]

@Megan Thank you! I still have the “still processing” message… Nothing changed for me today.. I filed 1/23/17 and accepted same day with both credits. Never had this issue, filed the same info past three years!

[Meagan]

Ok so I posted a thread on a FB page and this seems to be the general consensus for a lot of people who filed between 1/20 and 2/10:

A TON of people have the same “still being processed” message on WMR. No bars (I never even saw theme ever! Just path and now this) BUT I also figured out that my cycle date from my transcripts (20170605) is a WEEKLY update and not daily. Depending on what date you filed you end up with one or the other. Sucks!

Also- Everyone Ive talked to that has called the IRS has said that they either say “it hasn’t been 21 days yet” OR “your return is being flagged for review, youll receive a letter in the mail”. I think both of these responses are the representatives way of getting rid of people calling inquiring about the status of their returns. Ive talked to people who called the IRS, were told to wait for a review letter and then got their DDD.. Its so shady.

I know the IRS stated that they would start processing returns before the 15th but wouldn’t release any refunds if filing with an ETIC until after 2/15 but I honestly don’t think they started processing the returns at all. I think everything got so backed up and that’s why theres a huge lag in updates. If any of you ordered BOTH transactions to be mailed or have viewed them online look at the very bottom of your account transaction where it breaks down the return values. On the left hand side there should be codes on every line. If you have a 501, 806, 766 or 768 you should be just fine. I hope this helps? Its so frustrating and it gets overwhelming sitting there not knowing whats going on (Ive been audited in the past so I know how scary it can be!)

[No money no problems]

2/23 haven’t seen anything on my netspend card yet, don’t expect I will before the 23rd. Keep the hopes low enough that way, no dissapointments. If they come early, then what a pleasant surprise.

[trina23]

@megan I am still waiting as well and i filed on 1/23 and still nothing at all. Still saying being processed.

[Proudma30]

That sbptg still is not showing that they received my return so I am getting a little worried. I know the reserve is closed but if the irs released the funds I thought it would at least show up there by now. Does anyone else with a dad of the 23rd who used tt see it yet

[Carrie]

Does anyone else not have their refund amount showing on WMR? Mine just shows “your refund will be deposited by 2/23” not the amount

[Meagan]

Update: Nothing changed for me today. Still have the “return being processed” message. I have been getting everything from “youre fine” to “youre under review” which is making me crazy. If I were under review wouldn’t there be a notification or code on WMR or IRS2GO? Or even on my transcripts I already received in the mail on Friday?

[trina23]

@brian23 I have the same message and i filed on 1/23 and accepted on 1/23.. did anything change for you today?

[Ellie]

@ food for thought

You made my morning!

Coffee and loling.

Gnomes! Freaking Gnomes!

YES. Traditional banks still use gnomes. Its an industry secret. Shhhh.

The gnomes have today off though…. The cobwebs will grow thicker.

Happy Presidents Day y’all!

One day closer to your funds….

[hiloshark]

@relly By means BY. you SHOULD get your shit BY the 23rd…but that doesnt means its coing on the 20th either.

if you took the time to look in the bottom left hand corner it flat out says . YOUR DIRECT DEPOSIT DATE IS FEB XX. they use the word BY to cover their own ass. hence why they use the word SHOULD.

their could be banking issue that could cause your deposit to be late. they cant guerentee ANYTHING once the money leaves the treasury its all in the hands of computers

[AngelaMarie]

Wmr says approved not sent but approved went they turbo tax paid fees thru them but having direct to my adp aline card and I owe support but even when I called them my funds were set to be released the 23rd so is it possible they will come early to my card? Please help

[Relly]

@Food for thought

What you say makes sense. This is why WMR says “BY” and not “On”…

“The balance of your refund, $x,xxx.xx, is scheduled to be sent to your bank by February 23, 2017. If your refund is not credited to your account by February 28, 2017, check with your bank to find out if it has been received.
Please wait until February 28, 2017 before you contact us again as we are unable to take any further action until then.”

I think it has to do with how your financial institution processes ACH transfers. Most traditional banks release manually and most prepaid debit card company banks do it automatically, thats why they get deposits faster.

I have a netspend account and I have received deposits at all hours of the day and night weekends and holidays included. This is why deposits never show up as pending. They send the funds right through unless its some crazy off the wall amount and the want to verify things.

[Alisha0015]

I was wondering how long does it take to go from approved to refund sent. My ddd is 2/23… i have the Emerald card/H&R Block so their no help at this point.they wont let me know if i have anything pending because of the PATH act….

[Food for thought…]

We know the FEDERAL RESERVE is closed tomorrow. We know that the IRS is open (behind the scenes…in front…working due to RUSH…taking calls, or not)…we know some banks ARE open (people who bank w/ Wells Fargo are reporting they are open)….

If you are in the position that you HAVE received your DDD then the IRS’ (in theory) part is done. It’s ALL about the FEDERAL RESERVE and your BANK INSTITUTION.

For those who have a DDD of 21 – 24, THOSE funds have ALREADY been RELEASED. Whether you see it “pending” or not…on SBTPG (or any other 3rd party) – those funds have “left the building”. That’s why some are saying they can see deposits, etc. and others can’t (and THEY TOO have DDD of 21 – 24).

The reserve sends notes to the respective receiving banks/card companies/etc. This is why people are saying “make sure all your ducks are in a row (with regard to name, etc.). If the note is rejected, it gets returned and so on…THIS IS THE STEP WE ARE ALL IN THE MIDST OF.

We don’t know how long it takes any given system to accept/reject the note – nor whether banks/prepaid card companies are processing through them electronically around the clock or there’s a little nome sitting at a desk surrounded by cobwebs and empty coffee cups who is pressing buttons where a flood gate of money comes swirling through, magically appearing in the account….it DEPENDS on THAT institutions procedures.

My point is, we ALL know tomorrow is a holiday but believe funds will drop because they’ve already been released…then…THAT’S where your individual banks policies come into play.

It’s much easier for a company/bank to field hundreds of thousands of calls by “pointing the finger” at the IRS or reverse. People have proved that theory over and over on these forums by repeatedly calling the same institution and getting a different answer every time. Another suggestion – watch the trends – watch on multiple forums…FB, igotmyrefund.com, Intuit (TurboTax), etc.

If I’m wrong or someone has a CONSTRUCTIVE counterpoint (I beg, please be respectful) – I love to learn and will gladly/proudly admit I was wrong (I often eat HUGE slices of humble pie –> and believe it makes me a better/smarter person).

I just wanted to shed a different alternative to the feelings of unsettling nausea (I have it as well). In fact, I don’t work tomorrow and plan on pulling an all nighter to watch all the threads to see who starts seeing funds drop first (accessible – not pending).

I whole heartedly pray for the BEST outcome for EVERYONE – EVERYONE!!! Cheers!

[Faith]

Wmr updated saying that the refund was sent but i know that i used the wrong routing number. I bank with Wells Fargo and they see no pending deposits. Has this happened to anyone else?

[Jmdylrc]

Jeez strugglingmomsunite I agree with you everything you said is on point and Will add to the part about helping other people out i have been in places i will see a person with family that had an issue they ask for money to help hell I have helped them with whatever i can because I know how hard life is im 33 and pretty much seen every twist and turn life can give but then I see this person drives up in a BMW suited up and looks at the family like they are nothing makes me wanna knock the guys head but you know why he does that the same reason people insulting other people for wanting there dd early Cuz they live the comfy life and have not sweated a day in their life to make money they do not know the meaning of the hard earned part of hard earned money so yeah and I understand why this year so many people want their taxes early this year has started off rough for what seems to be alot of people.

[Jenn]

@Meagan Word on the forum is that if you can pull both of your transcripts than there should not be any problems with your return, so you will be getting it. Hopefully, you will get an update by tomorrow and get a DD soon. Good luck!

[Kimberly]

Ive noticed that some folks who have DDD dates of 2/22 have also stated the money was showing in their banks on the 17th and 18th. I’m wondering if any of those people went through SBBT and received it that soon?

My DDD is 2-23. Was just curios.

[Meagan]

@brian23 I have the same thing. Filed and accepted 2/3. PATH message until 2/15 and now I have the “Your return is being processed” message. I was able to order both transcripts and got them in the mail on Friday. Nothing out of the ordinary. No codes signaling a problem.. I file married/joint with my husband. He has a w2. I have a 1099 with self employed writeoffs. I don’t even care when the ddd date is or even if I get audited (ive been audited in the past 4 years) I just wish I knew whats going on either way. The sitting in limbo waiting game SUCKS!

[Michele]

@4464c waiter…..
A 4464c letter means that the IRS has pulled your tax return for review. It should state on the letter the basic reason as to what they are looking at/for. It may say they are reviewing your reported income or reviewing credits claimed or lots of other things. It’s not an examination or audit, so you don’t have to do anything except wait, but if they find something and do decide to do an examination they will let you know and you may have to provide documentation if they ask for it, but hopefully they will just review it and release your refund!

[Proudma30]

I have been going through various boards concerning the eic situations that we are all in. I got my dd and I am very happy to have it coming finally. That being said I can’t believe how many ignorant people are on these boards who do not understand how taxes work. They start fights saying we don’t deserve the eic because they pay our taxes and we should not receive anything….ummmmm…you have to work to claim/file any tax return. Both myself and my husband work but just are not fortunate enough to make 50+ thousand a year. Obviously we have children so making minimum wage does not carry us through the year like it would for single people without children. We carry our children not others so when the government gives us a break we deserve to get it in a timely matter. Yes there are scumbags out there that messed this up for us but I’m tired of hearing the ignorance just so some high and mighty uneducated idiot can bash us for wanting our promised money so we can finally catch up on bills and breathe a little easier for a month or two throughout the year. Sorry to vent but it just bugs me.

[Jenn]

@StrugglingMOMSunite I agree with you. I know I shouldn’t respond, but she’s not the first person to have written something along those lines and it drives me nuts. They do not understand how some people are struggling so much that even a few days can mean the world. It’s just so insensitive and than she tries to add that we are “lucky” to even be getting taxes. They are taxes that came out of hard earned labor. Taxes many of us couldn’t afford to lend out in the first place. Some people are in better situations and that’s great for them, but the way the economy is, many of us are forced to survive off of next to nothing and than have a chunk of that nothingness pulled over the course of the year. Like you, I too cannot remember the time I even bought a shirt. All of my clothes have holes in them, which makes it hard to get a decent job that requires business attire. These refunds help everyone get back on their feet. It benefits the economy as a whole and helps people to invest in things like: small businesses, clothes for a job, cars for employments, and things like that. If we did not receive a refund on our money, the economy would be worse for everyone.

[Relly]

@StrugglingMOMSunite…Right On..!!!

@4464c waiter… Like I told someone earlier..

That’s the “Sit & Wait” notice. It means your return got pulled for further review. So all you do now is sit and wait and hope you don’t get audited. If you dont receive any further notices from them then your return will continue to be processed. The thing is it could take 2 weeks or 2 months. Just call them once or twice a week until you get an answer and watch your mailbox.

[Nobody]

@strugglingmomsunite AMEN well stated — the struggle is real

[MrsDennyM]

No one asked you struglinmomsuni. Why get in the middle of it? Let them argue. I’m over here with popcorn

[Rozilyn]

Oh my God everyone calm down this is not the first time that the taxes have been delayed and yes I have received my taxes and had not given a due date I’ve received my taxes one year and they said that they was still processing it I happen to check my bank account and the money was there even though the site said that they were still processing I haven’t been given an update and I did for other people taxes as well with those one credit and they haven’t received an update either

[StrugglingMOMSunite]

Just to be clear… I was speaking in general about others being angry at people who want their deposit and expressing their concern. I thought @Jenn shouldn’t have to explain herself to @Danielle bc she did say she didn’t want to sound mean but to me, it sounded mean. Everyone is having issues with this situation we are in. I agree with Jenn we did our return way before the opening date with the w2 already released to the irs (1/15). It’s been more than 21 days for most of us (a month for me) – a lot of Netspend people got their money even the ones that did it after the 28. But back to this lady please don’t tell me I didn’t budget enough. Can’t Budget what you don’t have. Then my point about people thinking this money owed to them… You tell me why did they name it earned income? We basically earned this money lady. it’s the money that we should be making and the government knows this. And people like you are too stupid to realize that …this is why they keep about more than half of the money people put out (you know the ones that never used to claim it- its there way of giving it back). Seriously the whole “get your billions back america” wasn’t just coughed up out of no where. I find it funny how people don’t challenge grants… These people didn’t earn that. Housing developing companies making bank off of people with govt grants. Corporate bailouts happened and not a flinch, they did not earn the money but guess what WE BAILED THEM OUT. So when It comes time to help the poor (robin hood method), no one wants to help out at all… it doesn’t belong to us? But you enjoy your fresh fruits right? Enjoy those grapes, oranges, apples, cabbages… enjoy them. Love going to nice hotels and having clean sheets right? Did you wash those sheets… no someone with little pay did. I mean for years they collected and collected and never gave it back. I watched my mother get taxed twice one year just bc she made too much money and in reality she didn’t make enough (guess what they did… sent it back to her in a check with an apology). I pay for everything just like everyone. So are you telling me all the taxes I pay at the grocery store isn’t mine? The taxes I pay every year to the state to register isn’t mine? If you own something you pay taxes on it right? I didn’t know it belonged to the upper working class? I didn’t know people that went out to do the dirty jobs of America and get paid nothing for it doesn’t deserve a break from struggling…. I had no idea it don’t belong to them (when in truth I feel like it does). I guess it belongs to people who sit at desk jobs all day doing nothing but working their brain? Guess what I studied hard to get to one of those desk jobs finally bc I realized that slave labor would never get me the stuff I wanted in life. I did that manual slave labor and let me tell you getting paid 7.25 for it is a crime. Having your hours cut when you need to pay your rent is a crime. Or is it not? You don’t see it that way Danielle (and others like her) and that’s why I had to remind you of karma. I don’t get it… it’s like people don’t realize that bad stuff can happen to them and then what? Your going to go start a gofund me page right? Who does that money belong too… The same people who don’t mind helping out a fellow person in need ( you should learn from them). I will never understand I guess. Anyways @Jenn you should just be calm and ignore her and others like her bc at the end of the day all you need to do is pray. I am praying for you and your family and I really hope you get your money tomorrow morning even if the banks are closed so your situation becomes much better.

[WillBeas]

@Proudma30

If you paid fees with turbo tax upfront then yes straight from IRS…if not your funds will hit sbtpg first…maybe they misunderstood something

[Proudma30]

My husband spoke with someone at TurboTax today and they said our refund will come direct from the irs even though we accidentally paid the fee with them. They said the fee is taken out before it’s released. This confused me since that sbtpg site says they haven’t received it but they show my expected amount to be what I am owed…i have stopped trying to find out…when it loads on my amex bluebird card it loads lol.

[Jenn]

Oh and @danielle, please explain what parting of hoping to get your money sooner than your DDD is selfish, because I’m failing to see the correlation.

[Jenn]

@Danielle Firstly, I never said it was bull**** not to get the DD before the date. I just said that we NEED it before the date. And you having money enough to not rely on yours has nothing to do with being smart. Some people do not have other options. My husband was LAID off one week before Thanksgiving. We have been surviving and struggling to find work. I found a great job, but I will not be starting for a couple of weeks. As of right now, due to a series of unfortunate events we need that money. We have never needed it to this extent in prior years. It did not matter when it came, but this year we do. Also, you talk about not sharing your business. For someone with such a said high level of intelligence, you’d think you would realize that you are not actually sharing any personal information with anyone because no one knows who you are in the real world. I am upset that you have the nerve to tell people how they should be feeling. That’s really none of your business. If people want to hope that they get their returns sooner, that is fine and has nothing to do with you. So if you do not need it now, which again I say that you clearly do not need it at the rate that some people need it (or else, you would have nothing to say), leave others who do need it now alone. Also, once again, keep in mind that intelligence has nothing to do with it. People get laid off in this economy all the time: intelligent, hard-working people because a business cannot sustain itself. Karma is hard on people and with the way you are talking, maybe you’ll soon feel it too.

Is anybody WMR status saying “We have received your return and it is being processed”?? I claimed both credits, had one bar on WMR at first, then updated to PATH message, then on 2/18/17 when updates came in I didnt get a DDD, I got still processing. :( Can somebody help me or is anybody experiencing this???

[Danielle]

@Jenn well sorry that you think people need it faster what because I did not post my problems because they are not anyone’s business. I am also smart enough to know you cannot just relay on money you do not have yet. Yes, I need the money just as everyone else but I also am not going to be selfish when i already have DDD and be like will i get my money before my DDD if not this is bullshit. A lot of people think that this money is owed to them but in a reality we are lucky we get big returns because we sure didnt pay all that money in other people did so if you think of it even me getting a return like that is techinacally living off other people.

Bees, is your mom’s name on the bank account? If its not a joint account other people have had issues with banks rejecting the IRS deposit if the persons not on the account. You can call your bank and ask them.

The IRS website says:
You should not request a deposit of your refund into an account that’s not in your own name.

[StrugglingMOMSunite]

@Jenn Sweetheart DFTT. There have already been people claiming that EIC is their tax money and shouldn’t be given to people who didn’t work for it. Then they are the same people who would never go do half of the jobs we do. None of them would go out and pick cotton, pick veggies (even if machines help), sheer animals, sew clothes and or make items by hand to sell, pave roads, janitor, hold up stop signs for kids, retail sales clerk/cashier, study long freaking hours in order to do insane amounts of homework while working at WALMART OR TARGET(guess you didn’t know they cut hrs in order to hire new people or get their bonuses?), etc. If you don’t want us getting EIC then you should have been there telling people to pay us, little people, a lot more than 7.25 an hr ( you know when people were fighting for 15 bucks an hr and then they were like, “oh they want teachers pay”. Ha! teacher’s pay is way more than that on avg 28/hr- now a teacher’s aid is different). Did you know even if you get paid commission at a new job it’s an EFFING month before you get paid? Yeah, we’ve been waiting almost a month and they justify it by saying we haven’t made them enough at said job. My main reason for going back to school to do programming in the first place. So waiting for money after struggling all year just to catch up. That’s right struggling. Some of us get paid around 23k a year but in reality was about 19 900/fulltime so before that, it was just above the federal poverty limit. Now you tell me if for a family of three people with no assistance how is that possible esp in the area we live. Rent is like 1k+, insurance, health insurance, 1.5 kid, student loans, etc. Tell me how in the world can someone struggling not want their money to help them a little bit so they can go on especially with starting a new job that isn’t paying until march… Budget more, eat less, right ( I only eat twice a day)? Okay after everything is paid we are left with -220 dollars (something is not getting paid or we are getting a loan). Most of us dont buy clothing we have to make it and nice fabric is expensive as well. Then someone wants to make fun of people shopping at goodwill or the thrift store but look at you like you stole something when you try to go shop at Neiman Marcus bc you have to look nice for work (new job). You people really should stop insulting others. Most of this is in general but some of it strikes close to home for me. Not everyone have a family to run to when they need help. So being on here making others feel like crap just bc you have a good job doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t get it the poor and middle-class people of this country should be helping each other not hurting each other with words. It’s like you don’t care about anyone else but yourself. Don’t forget now you can always loose your nice paying job and have to come over to the side of people who don’t get paid for the hard work that they do- karma is a funny thing. Also, I do apologize if someone gets offended but Jenn is right a lot of us are trying to negotiate with companies so that our stuff isn’t turned off or we don’t have to pay extra fines and fees. If you don’t have anything nice to say then just keep it to yourself – yes it may be annoying at times that people come on here to vent, but instead of shutting people down try to uplift them and tell them it will be okay bc we all don’t know everyone’s situation.

[Christie]

I have Wells Fargo so since they are open tommorow I could possibly be getting my deposit tommorow ? On the wmr site it says it’s sent to be sent to my bank by 2/23. Thanks in advance !!!

[Jenn]

Also, I’ve seen people posting about their cars breaking down, their fridges breaking down, and having to pay funeral costs. Clearly these people need their money now. So, who are you to judge or say anything, REALLY?

[Jenn]

@Danielle Some people cannot “just be happy to have a DDD” because some people really need the money before that or they lose electricity, water, and car insurance (with kids, which also need to be driven to school because they do not have a bus route). So, I understand what you think you are saying, but I filed way over 21 days ago and was really hoping to get my tax return already. The money belongs to me and I need it now. I am not a criminal and people like me are being punished for other people duping to the system. So even with a DDD of 2/23, I would still lose my car insurance and utilities for a period of time and obviously I cannot go without those things. To keep all of those things going right now would cost me over 1000, so I do not have any other sources to pay these things. It’s important to be sensitive to other people’s situation. I am sure you do need the money, but other’s clearly need it faster. If you were in this predicament (losing all utilities and insurance tomorrow), you would not be telling other people to just be grateful to have a DDD.

[Screwed by IRS year after year]

@Monique
Well, not sure why they decided to send refund as a paper check, then. I just hope it doesn’t end up lost. I’d much prefer DD, but at least it’s not an audit or something.

[Danielle]

Okay I do not want to sound mean but come on guys the people who are complaining that got a DDD already that it already hasn’t been posted to your accounts already really? Just be thankful people who got a DDD and that you are getting a refund at all. There are some people that have to pay taxes in or still havent seen a DDD that need the money just as bad. I seriously have stuff going on right now and need money but u know what I am just thankful that I have a DDD.

[Dain100x]

I have emerald card I called the 16th and my deposit has been pending since then. WMR says DDD the 23rd like most of you. Frustrating it’s been pending for days already it’s just up to the IRS to release to the funds! This whole PATH act has been a real pain and since presidents day is Monday I’m not counting on getting money early at all. Should be over soon though!

[Jamie]

Last night between 2:30a and approximately 2:25a WMR was said it was not accessible but when it returned it said I have a DDD of 2/23. Today I checked at 2:31a and got the same message. I’m not sure, but I’m hoping this means that when it returns I will have a refund send message. Will update when I find out.

[Ms.luck86]

@Tara i had an offset in 2013 where they kept my whole refund and WMR never let me know in any way it was happening and my bar stayed at 2 bars. I eventually called the irs and the guy told they were keeping it all. This year i owe $200 because the irs sent me a check for that much in the middle of the year so i spent it but then they sent a letter wanting it back so i let it go to be held out of my refund this year. So witg that being said WMR hasnt let me know in anyway that i have an offset again but i know i do. My wmr updated yesterday and i have a ddd of 2/23. I dont think wmr tells you anything about offsets or in my case it hasnt. Hope this helps

[Taking a poll]

A few places that I’ve read (including Forbes) has said they ARE working on processing through the weekends and Monday (even with holiday)…

Who thinks that INCLUDES RELEASING FUNDS?

I’m legit asking because I’m wondering if some of the peeps with netspend type cards would see money on a Sunday or Monday.

[Justin]

I’m very happy to have a ddd of 2/23 but my god it would be nice if it has been processing for the last 24-48 hours and it shows up in the account sometime tonight. Like a lot of other people we have bills piling up.

[Monique]

@wait WHAT

Pre-paid debit card companies appeal to customers by advertising that they can release funds of direct deposits up to two days earlier than a standard financial institution where you may have a checking or savings account. I have had more than one pre-paid card in my 30 years from different companies and the 2 day-early DD thing is true although receipt of the funds was never actually 48 hours in advance. More like 36 hours or 24 hours in advance.

I’m just not sure what the “why” or “how” is behind it all.

[Monique]

Sorry to anyone I may have mislead with regards to my post about direct deposit limits. If what others are saying is correct, the IRS should update or correct this artice: https://www.irs.gov/individuals/direct-deposit-limits.

The article that comes DIRECTLY from the IRS site does not mention that that limit is based on receiving multiple DDs in one year. Which is why it is misleading. But, again, my bad.

[Kenny]

I think people are misinterpreting the 3 deposits per account. This only affects you if you have more then 3 direct deposit into the same account in any given year. This is only an issue for families that use the same bank account and are expecting more then 3 direct deposit for the tax season. For ex. Husband wife and 2 kids. The 4th direct deposit will need to be in a different account

[Tiffany3]

The IRS won’t deposit more than 3 refunds to one bank account in the SAME Year. You can use the same bank account your whole life and get your tax refund deposited to it. Seen some that were confused about this.

[mamaro]

Has anyone with a ddd of 2/23 receive their tax refund or see it pending? I have emerald card from h& r block and I haven’t seen anything!

[Brittani Hamilton]

If you have an offset you do not always get code 203. If you have received code 1541 that means that your refund has already processed and the amount is being taken and you will get a DDD with your new amount. I know this because I received a take action code 1541 and I called today and the rep told me that code 1541 is an offset code they have took the amount and I will receive the balance per my method of payment I chose when I filed

[Geishadoll]

@Genie

Yes I did add my direct deposit info and thecrep claimed to have looked into my account. But I was just floored when he told me that simply because I mailed the return it would take 6 to 8 more weeks…I was stumped…lol

[Genie]

@Geishadol
I’m sure you’ve read on here that a ton of us have that message and majority also have 2/23 dd. Did you put direct deposit info on the paperwork when you mailed it? Call back and ask them to please look into your account. I’m sure you have a dd if you have that message on wmr. I bet you will get your refund by Wednesday like the rest of us. As long as you do not have errors or other issues. Good luck :-)

[Wait WHAT]

I have a DDD of 2/22 and it is showing in my account. I see that a few people, especially with pre-paid cards already have their money!? So because I have checking account I have to wait and will not get an early deposit? Is that because pre-paids do not have the same restrictions as my credit union?? Weird :(

[Geishadoll]

Anyone WO knows about tax reufunds!!

Because of identy theft precautions I had to mail my taxes this year because the IRS did not send me a pin number in order to file electronically. So the IRS received and accepted my return on 2/13 (wmr) and it was being processed. During the update last night I lost my bar and I now have the message that my return is being processed and a DDD date will be given when available.

When I called the IRS today the rep told me that simply because I mailed my return there was no need for Mr to check wmr anymore until the first of April…I want to know if this is true. Although they have received my return and began processing it will it actually take another month to complete?

[jjmorrison]

If you have an offset it will tell you right below your status bar. It looks like this:

Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 203, Refund Offsets for unpaid child support and certain federal, state, and unemployment compensation debts
Please Note:
Your refund may be reduced to pay a past due obligation such as child support, another federal agency debt, or state income tax. If this applies to you, the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS), who issues IRS refunds, will send you a notice informing you of any offset they have made. The details of the debt are not provided to the IRS. Please do not call us to inquire about the details because we will not be able to answer your questions. Instead, direct any questions you have about the offset or debt to the agency identified on the notice.

If you don’t have this message than no offset has taken place

Hope that helps

I used TaxAct also, but I’m not showing up in Republic Bank. I have a DDD of 2/23. Doesn’t it only go to Republic if you’re having fees taken out?

[TARA]

I filed on 1/29. Got my ddd today on wmr , it says 2/23. I called and they confirmed. Does anyone know if in the case of an offset it would have notified you in the wmr screen at this point? Or it never says? I see some people here already know they got an offset but did you find out by calling the offset number or did it tell you in the IRS wmr page?

[Donovan]

FOR THOSE WITH NO UPDATE: I heard there’s another update tonight between 9pm-12am. Again I’m just a messenger so take that with a grain of salt. I also didn’t receive an update today. I filed on 2/1 and got accepted the same day. Got the PATH message on 2/15. Got the updated “processing” message 2/16 but no update today 2/18. Called the IRS and spoke to a very nice lady who looked up my info but unfortunately there was nothing new she could tell me. I also filed an injured spouse form with my return because my wife owes a student loan and I figured that would hold us up but I’ve seen other people that filed IS(injured spouse) in another group and have a DDD of 2/22 or 2/23. And due to disability my wife didn’t work last year so there was nothing for them offset anyway. Hoping I get a date soon. I’ve been very patient which I guess is all I can do lol…

Yes, I’ve called the my Emerald card a few times asking if they see pending deposits. All of the agents told me that there are none, but that I should have the funds available as soon as they can see it too. If what they are saying is true, it would be pointless to call them. =( I really want a definite time. I know I got a DDD for 2/23, but that’s a little late for me. I have a few things I really really need to do now… (as I’m sure other people do)

[Alisha0015]

So i called my Emerald card just to see if they could till me if their was a pending deposit. And she was no help she tells me to call the irs to see when my funds would be releast. I told her i already did they said by the 23rd thats why im calling you now . Then she says oh ok well i would just wait til the 27th and then call back because of the PATH act. How does tgat make any sense.

[Monique]

@Screwed by the IRS year after year

First and foremost, AWESOME name. I got a good smirk out of that. Very unique. Lol. And you’re welcome. Someone else mentioned it and then I went to the IRS site looking for proof and found it. Smh. Just another way to screw people who need the money the most. I am totally against tax fraud but there has to be a better way to prevent it and NOT make like harder on those who are walking the straight and narrow. Like many others have said, I have claimed the same two kids for the last 6 years. I have the birth certificates to prove it.

This whole “we won’t deposit refunds into the same account more than 3 times” is just ridiculous and something that people will easily forget in a year’s time. Frankly, I just realized that even changing your pre-paid debit card won’t help unless you get a one through a new bank (different company). Using the same company but new card number doesn’t affect the routing or account number they give your for direct deposit purposes. I remember i had some erroneous charges on my card once. I opted for a new card. It had a new 16-digit number on the front but the routing and checking account information for DD remained the same.

My nerves are so irked right now even though I have a DDD. It’s so annoying to be hindered year after year by the IRS. And even for those who say they will change their withholdings…that may not help. I have been operating on 0 withholding for years and I still receive a refund. I have two kids, am a student, and also have business expenses.

[Dsquared83]

@Monique

Depend on which software you used. If you used Taxact which is who I use they use republic bank. If you didn’t use Taxact that is a reason they can’t find you. If you used Taxact and they can’t find you I’d assume your getting a paper check maybe. Idk why they would not be able to find you.

[Monique]

Has anyone been able to check the status of the refund transfer (RT) from the IRS through Republic Bank. Each time I try it states that the information I entered is not correct. Does that just mean the RB has yet to receive my refund from the IRS to take the fees out? Is RB the only bank used for the RT process by the IRS?

Again, if you have been successful or unsuccessful in checking the status of your RT please let me know.

Background: Refund transfer (RT) is used by the IRS to take the fees you opted to pay for tax services directly out of your refund and then transfer to the company (i.e. Turbo Tax, H&R Block, etc.). The complete refund is transferred to RB (not sure if this is the only bank used) where RB takes out the funds and transfers a portion to the tax software site and the remaining portion to the taxpayer.

Hi Everyone,
My update is much like a lot of other people on here. Filed 1/13, accepted 1/17, PATH message until 2/17 when it changed to received and processing message but I called IRS and was told dd 2/23. I bank with Wells Fargo and they ARE OPEN PRESIDENTS DAY 2/20. I can only assume most or all banks will be open as well. IRS will be processing on the 20th as well so there should be no delay. I have an offset apparently and as of today the hotline says it “could” come out of my refund. Doesn’t say what it is or how much, only automated on weekends. I hope my refund shows up Monday and no offset. I will update when I see it, I haven’t seen one single person with Wells Fargo- or any major bank for that matter, most of you have a netspend card. ?? Less hassles??

[R4ce]

I filed 1/13/17 accepted 1/15/ Hqa one bar until getting path act message around 2/1. ARound the same time as others Path msg went away. Updated last night to DD of 2/23.

Hopefully next year is just as kind!

@Federal Employee That’s 100% false. Everyone has a position at the IRS and data processors do NOT answer phone calls. In addition, they have already stated in a news release that they will have the phone lines open today and Monday.
The IRS will staff its toll-free telephone service Saturday, Feb. 18, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., callers’ local time, and Monday, Feb. 20, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., callers’ local time. All IRS taxpayer Assistance offices will be closed Monday, Feb. 20, for Presidents Day.

@Sascee209 is correct. I just looked it up. The IRS is limited the number of times your can receive direct deposit into an financial account of pre-paid debit card to three. The 4th time you use the same financial account of debit card they will automatically convert the DD to a paper check. They claim this doesn’t affect most people. Guess who is does affect? It affects the same people the PATH Act affects.

So be prepared to keep track of the number of refunds you receive per account/debit card. It’s not that hard to just order a new card (same brand), get an extra checking or savings account, or switch to a new pre-paid debit card altogether. There are so many that provide your direct deposit up to two days early that you won’t be missing out.

Btw, this isn’t a law, it’s just an new IRS procedure. Smh.

I got my DDD 2/23!

[Friendly Federal Employee]

Just some inside info! I have worked for many different departments IRS, veterans claims processing, & even worked in banking for 7 years! I do not work in the IRS area now, but my mother & aunt do. I also know exactly how the system works. So just some inside info. Even though Monday is a holiday they will be working! Luckily they will have the phones shut off so that they can strictly work on processing! People who do not work there may not like that but you have to understand that it allows them to do twice the amount of work & therefore get your refunds to you sooner. Normally during a busy season in an Federal department they do mandatory overtime & give u the option to work on a holiday. Everyone I worked with ALWAYS took the option to work because of the double pay for that day! You will not be able to reach them though. As far as if u received a update overnight like I did also with a direct deposit date no later than 2/23 then what happens is a series of different processes. An employee pulls normally 20 files into what they call their que at a time. They have to process those before getting more. Mind u EVERYONE has a quota & the faster u work the bigger ur bonus so believe me when I say they are not dragging their feet. They r simply doing what they r told & when. Once they finish the file they then approve it & it goes to what they call their “coach” who is actually there supervisor. They are all separated into teams & each team has a coach. The supervisor reviews it & approves it & sends it to the department to be processed for deposit or check sent out. Then same process again that employee in that department pulls 20 files & works the deposit approves it & sends it to their supervisor who reviews & does the FINAL approval & that tells the system to cut u a check or direct deposit. So then we see the update to our WMR with the date on or before 2/23. They do this because there can be many different factors including ur bank & if ur daily or weekly updater. I am weekly updater so even if mine was actually processed last Monday it would not have showed on WMR until Saturday morning because that is when ALL weekly updates show. So then it comes to when it was actually processed & completed. It is normally 4 days later when u get ur deposit (except weekly updaters) So for mine in all previous years it has always gave me a date that normally fell on a Wednesday & I normally received my $ the Monday before. I use netspend also! This year it is a Thursday because they counted the holiday probably to avoid the millions of phone calls which only makes things go slower. So depending on what bank u use & how they process ACH deposits u could still see ur refund on Monday even if it’s a holiday & they r closed. Some banks have a computer system that processes ACH deposits automatically as long as all the information is correct. Netspend I assume uses that computer system because I receive deposit all the time at midnight or anytime. Other banks receive ACH & they do not process them until they r open & there is an employee that goes in & does a release on all ACH deposits received. Most banks are like this that is why everyone uses netspend or some other prepaid cards because they receive their refunds earlier. So to sum it up I would not expect anything over the weekend. They just processed ur refund & gave u a date. Most likely the IRS will send the information Monday to the banks & netspend people could get it that day. Unfortunately other banks will receive it also & get it when they come back Tuesday after the holiday, but they will not put it in ur account until the day it says to put it in ur account that was sent to them. They hold it until then. That is why I now have my work check put in netspend. I was supposed to get paid on the 20th & I received my deposit on the 16th while my other coworkers still have not been paid because their bank will hold it. Now they will get it on the 20th because the bank has already received the ACH info & put to release it on the 20th even though it is a holiday. So the computer will automatically release it. It is just the way everything is processed on both sides. So all I can say is I am actually surprised the refunds came as soon as they did. I just did mine on February 12 & was accepted same day. So this is the fastest I have ever received my refund! I figured with the new law it would crash the system or back things up even more, but it looks like they r coming just as planned. The dates of when u filed does not matter if u fall under the path act! The 21 day rule starts on February 15th. It’s a new law that is out of the IRS’s hands & unfortunately they r catching the brunt for it. I have family that works their that gets cussed out multiple times daily over this & people need to remember they r just employees of the federal government. They r in the same boat as u! Their taxes r held up & r processed just like urs. The files are just #’s so they can’t get special treatment & ask for theirs to be pushed through. My mother filed before me & is not part of the path act & she did not get a DDD! She also can’t ask about hers before the 21 day & of course she has no access to look at her info. If only everyone knew how it all worked & the employees honestly have NO CONTROL over anything. Hope this helps some….

Accepted: 1/19

Transcripts ordered: 1/27
(Showed cycle 20170405 with processing date of 2/13 and codes 150, 766, 768)

Had PATH message on WMR until 2/16, then had the “we have received your refund…” message.

Shortly after midnight on 2/18, received a DDD of 2/23 on WMR.

Nothing showing yet on SBTPG.

Good luck to everyone. Hang in there!

[Ton]

on 1/16 WMR MESSAGE CHANGED FROM PATH ACT TO YOUR REFUND IS BEING PROCESSED AND ON 1/17 WMR MESSAGE CHANGED TO DDD OF 2/22 so i called JH SERVE CARD CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT 230 YESTERDAY TO SEE IF I HAD A PENDING DEPOSIT AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN’T SEE ONE SO ABOUT 3’oclock (30 mins later)i checked my card and my funds were available. Good luck everyone. Oh and WMR still hasn’t updated

[Jenn]

I mean you will have a DDD of 2/24 sorry

[Jenn]

@Brian and @Alexandra I believe that if you have not been updated today you will have a DDD of 2/23. I think most people who were updated yesterday got a DDD of 2/22 and todays updates got a 2/23 DDD, so it may be safe to assume tomorrow’s updates will be for DDD of 2/24.

[Screwed by IRS year after year]

@taxesqa15, I also requested DD, but WMR told me they would send out Feb. 24th. I did some research and found they send out large refunds via check. Don’t know if there is truth to that, but my refund was 15k. Kinda ticks me off they hold my funds to check on a measely 300 dollar ACTC and don’t really care of the fraud associated with someone intercepting a large check.

[Stacey]

I filed 2/11 was accepted on the same day, and I received an acceptance 2/18 in the middle of the night it says I’ll receive my refund by 2/23

[Alexandra Fierro]

I checked this morning and have filed with the eic and still nothing. I don’t think all the people on here who got ddd filed eic or CTC with their returns. Mine was accepted 2/2/17. Still no update. Still just shows as received and being processed.

[Becca Lee]

Hello,

I filed 1/23, accepted same day, had the PATH message until the 16th, then I got the “processing” message on WMR until this morning I finally got a DDD of 2/23! My transcript said 3/6 yesterday. No deposit or pending on my bank account but I’m with a credit union and they DD a day before it’s supposed to be available so usually nothing pends it’s available right away when it hits the bank.
I went through turbo tax and had my fees taken from my refund, but turbo tax still isn’t updated with what WMR says, it still says to check back to get an estimate DDD.

Last year my transcript said 2/23 and I got the refund in my bank 2/8 so I’m hoping anyday now! I really need to pay my property taxes!

Filed 2/4 claimed my nephew (also the first time I filed with a dependent) and was accepted the same day. I’ve been checking the website since 2/16 and finally today it said it was approved and with a deposit day of 2/23. I have USAA so I’m sure it’ll be there no later than 2/24. Good luck to you guys!!!!

[Roopnam]

Just to share my experience..: I filed with H & R Block on Jan. 30th and it was accepted same day. I had all three of the PATH Act credits. Filed head of household. Nothing changed as far as workplace, people in household, etc. WMR hadn’t even been showing any bars the last few days. It updated today to show me a DDD of 2/23. I opted into the text update and it messages me every morning between 7-8am, and today when I got my text, it was the exact same message I’ve gotten since opting in: your refund date is close. So I never got a text update saying anything had changed, just check on a whim just now thru the website. Anyway hope that gives some of you all a glimmer of hope lol.

[Sascee209]

@taxesqa15……..If you have had more than 4 years of direct deposit with the same bank account or prepaid card, the fed may not deposit any more refunds into that account. I believe that was a law passed a few years back. I was told that by a CPA, but not too sure really how true it is. Hope it helps.

[Brian]

Am I the only one who’s status didn’t update? I had the path message, now its saying “We have received your tax return and it is being processed” ANYONE ELSE STATUS DIDN’T UPDATE?? I’m SUPER stressed!!

[Tina]

Ugh!!! Still nothing.

[Unicorns & Nomes]

Do you think they’ll refunds will still deposit even though it’s a Saturday? If anyone SEES their deposits (either hit or as pending) – COULD YOU KINDLY POST AN UPDATE?

I’m a netspend user (first time) is that with a direct deposit date of the 22nd, some people are seeing it on their card now???

Thanks all!

Nothing showing up at my bank. I called. Hopefully soon. I always use my refund to catch up whatever I’ve gotten behind on throughout the year, because it’s extremely hard for one person with one income to continue to keep up a two income household on their own.

I decided I’m not allowing the government to hold my money anymore. Changed withholding at work. I might be sorry next year but I won’t I to deal with the stress of needing money that I can get because of this ridiculous law. Anyone with a DDD receive their deposit early?

[Mrs. Robinson]

I filed 2/6 with turbo tax 1 W-2 and two dependents. I was accepted on the same day and state was accepted the following. I checked WMR within two days and on 2-8 it said return accepted and tax topic 152. I got my state within 8 days and this morning got a WMR update and a DDD of 2-23-17. I never called the IRS I simply kept up with most of you guys for my updates and found out today a lot of folks would be updated and I was one of those people. Good luck to everyone as this has been a rotten season and FYI new tax laws for next season as Head of Household will no longer be a filing status😡 As we move forward we can only remain patient in the process while Uncle Sam keeps us guessing which is BS!!! Til next season everyone have a wonderful year and don’t spend it all in one place if you can create a savings and save a little cause hard times are on the horizon🙂

[Relly]

@AngelaMarie

If you have your tax return fees come out your refund it has to be processed by a third party bank like Santa Barbara which could delay it by a day or so but you should still have it by atleast by next friday.

[Relly]

@Erin

Thats the “Sit & Wait” notice. It means your return got pulled for further review. So all you do now is sit and wait and hope you dont get audited. If you dont receive any further notices from them then your return will continue to be processed. The thing is it could take 2 weeks or 2 months. Just call them once or twice a week until you get an answer and watch your mailbox.

[AngelaMarie]

@relly yes I will have a refund left but my questions is will I still get my refund deposit on the 23rd? Will it go into my adp card on the 23rd even with support offset coming out ?

[Lauren McNorton]

Ive been updating other threads but i have both credits and filed and accepted 1/26 got my DDD online with wmr for 1/23

[Erin]

Filed 01/12 with both credits (EIC and ACTC) Received a letter (4464C) at the end of January. Called the IRS last week and was given the generic “If you don’t hear anything for 60 days, call back”. I’ve been able to order both my transcripts (received one yesterday w/ no codes or anything). I have the generic “your return has been received and it’s being processed”. I’ve had the PATH message and now it’s just the received one. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? I did my taxes and my mom’s and we both have the same thing. SO frustrated.

[Relly]

@AngelaMarie

If you see 2 bars on WMR, then your refund is approved.

After all of your offsets are deducted (fed state tax debts, student loans, child support payments, tax return fees, etc) whatever is left will go to the bank account or debit card you choose for direct deposit. Hopefully you have something left after that child support offset.

[D]

Mine finally updated for the 23rd!! I wonder if we will see any deposits today like they did for the people on the 22nd date?

[Alisa]

I just checked wmr and I have a DDD of 2/23

I meant DDD is 2/23. My bad.

[Relly]

WMR 2 bars are back!!! DDD is 1/23. Filed on 1/30. Most of us should have our deposits by then depending on your bank.

Pay your rent, pay your bills and put the rest away if theres anything left…

You requested the direct deposit of your refund into more than one bank account.

If your deposits are not credited to your accounts by February 27, 2017, check with your bank to find out if they have been received.

Im trying to figure out why so many people are PAYING to file returns. Turbo Tax “Freedom edition is 100% free to file Fed & State. you are automatically eligible if you claimed the EITC…I did 5 returns for family members and they all were 100% free. I filed a joint return with a dependent, a W2 and a 1099 with business expenses. ALL FREE.

When you have the fees come out your refund it has to be processed by SB or some other third party bank which gives a greater chance of something getting screwed up or delayed.

We’re proud to offer Freedom Edition to hard-working Americans and their families who meet the 2016 IRS eligibility requirements.

To qualify for free 2016 federal and state tax returns in Freedom Edition, you’ll need to meet at least one of these requirements:

A maximum 2016 adjusted gross income (AGI) of $33,000; or
You qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); or
You served as active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a maximum 2016 AGI of $64,000 (you’ll also need a military-issued W-2).
Freedom Edition is available online at http://www.taxfreedom.com. Please note that the Freedom Edition website is not connected to the TurboTax.com website.

Also – don’t confuse Freedom Edition with Federal Free Edition at TurboTax.com. These similarly-named products are completely different.

DONT PAY THESE COMPANIES TO FILE TAX RETURNS FOR YOU. THERE ARE FREE OPTIONS AVAILABLE BUT OF COURSE THEY DONT ADVERTISE THEM.

@Marlaina

They were one of the first prepaid debit card companies. I’ve had my netspend account since 2004 and they have always been the fastest with posting deposits. They dont hold anything unless there’s an issue. I’ve literally had money released by a company in the morning and been in my account within 8 hours. So if you have a set DDD it should be there before then. It doesn’t happen 100% of the time but. But its still days faster than a traditional bank deposit post. The deposit usually comes before WMR updates. My DDD date is supposed to be 1/23 according to the treasury offset hotline but we’ll see.

I don’t have much patience. I’m trying. But I need my bread. Got bills n stuff.

[Sarah]

@Relly exactly. I have to pay my realtor tomorrow and my refund hasn’t come yet :(

[Relly]

Congrats A-arom, this a big step. Cant thing of anything better than that. Better than buying a new Jordans, flat screen TV’s and 24 inch rims for a 20 year old hooptie. Some people actually have important things to do with their refund.

[Marlaina]

Okay so not to be a downer but is it just me or is it that it seems everyone is now getting a DDD date? Ive had netspend for over 8 yrs and know if my ddd is really 2/23 like the irs agent said today then i should see it n my account either tonight or tomorrow morning….i also have no fees needing to be taken out and claimed both tax credits …so i was another PATH walker…lol. I filed on 2/26.

[Meghan]

I have been following this post for some time to hopefully get answers. I called the 800 number this morning and 652 to talk with someone. The lady was very nice and helpful and gave me a DDD of 2/23. It seems like everyone who has called has received the same DDD. I’m not sure if I believe it. Everyone, I’m sure, needs this money and I hope we all get our WMR updates tomorrow. Sadly, I have BB&T and they have never given me a deposit on a Saturday, I always have to wait until Monday. But I used TurboTax and requested the fees be taken out of my refund and so far SBTPG has not received my refund…

[A-arom]

Files 1/29 with hr block and accepted hours late. Got the 500 emerald advance and theyre taking fees from my return. Wmr say its still processing no pending deposits in account. Just got off phone with irs and i have a ddd of 2/23! Cant come fast enough. As soon as that money hits I get keys to my first home.

[Apollokids]

So I filed on 1-13-17 and was accepted on 1-14-17. Had the path act up until yesterday I had the generic we are processing your order. I decided to call the IRS after reading many others had and got a prosit date from them. So I finally got through after multiple tries and 30min hold time and told them I was concerned with my federal still being processed after a month and the lady asked me for info to verify I was who I said and told me a deposit date of 2-23-17. She said it will update on the 18 so it really is true. Ty

[John]

Called the number spoke with a nice lady who said my taxes been sent to another department for a correction. Then perfected and back in for manual review. The amount hasn’t change and she said everything looked good. So looks like I won’t get an update today like the rest of y’all. Makes for a long holiday weekend.

Anyone else have this problem or know how this might take. My account transcript has as of 3/6/17 on though so I don’t know. Never happen to me before

Called second time and got generic response till the lady said she would look into it since the previous lady looked. She says my taxes are on hold and a letter is going to be sent. Strange since the First Lady said something totally different.

God what am I suppose to believe

[Loren]

I’ve been following this post for a few days and just wanted to provide some info. I hope it’s hopeful for someone.

I filed early on 1/18/2017 using tax act and I have both credits. It was accepted the same day. On 1/23/2017 WMR bars disappeared and I had the message your tax refund is being processed. I had this message until 2/6/2017 and at that time WMR updated to the PATH act message until 2/15/2017 when it went back to the processing message. I was able o successfully view both transcripts online on 2/6/2017.
Today I checked WMR with no update. Checked my account transcripts and I had code 846 with a DDD of 3/6/2017. My cycle code is 20170605. I will definitely update once my direct deposit hits. I did call my bank but they said they didn’t see any pending deposits. I hope this really helps someone. And hey if we have the same cycle code and you’ve gotten a definite DDD please let me know. 😃

[Dsquared83]

Now that I know I have a direct deposit date of 2/23 I had a question about the fees taken out of my refund. The IRS says it will deposit on the 23rd, but will it really if it has to go to republic bank first to get fees taken out?

[Dame]

EIC/ACTC

FILED AND ACCEPTED 1/30

PATH MESSAGE GONE 2/15

REFUND AMOUNT SHOWING – BIG CHECK

HOPING FOR THIS SUPPOSED 2/18 SATURDAY UPDATE PPL ARE RAVING ABOUT.

[Rosetta]

I filed on January 23 and I filed with turbo tax my. Direct deposit date is 2/22 so even though TT have not updated I have my Dd just waiting on the bank now

[Marie]

Sorry I should have mentioned on my transcripts my process date is 2/13/2017. Cycle date 04052017. I hope this helps others with the same info. During my call the IRS rep also did mentioned the date of 2/13 being my process date so I believe the info on the transcripts is somewhat valid although the cycle date is a bit off. They do seem to be processing on the date your process date says. Hope this helps others try to narrow down window time to receive refund. DDD 2/23. Could I receive it sooner?

I am frustrated as well as others. This forum is a great resource. It helps us all come together to share info and vent. Thank you IGMR and all participants!!!

[Jm]

filed 1/26 accepted 1/26 looked today online my dd date 2/22

[Marie]

I filed on January 9th. I was accepted January 12th. I have the eitc. I filed with TurboTax and fees will be taken out prior to me receiving my refund.

I called the IRS and on my first try was assisted. Thanks to all who have been putting the 800 number along with extension 652. This does help. I also mention my state refund first to get assistance. It does help to talk about your state refund prior to asking for information on your federal refund.

I was told my DDD is 2/23. I am curious if I could see my refund prior to that date?

This has been the longest and worst filing season in my life. They really need to get more order to the refund process. I hope everyone gets their refunds in a timely fashion!!! We would not be asking if we weren’t interested in getting our money.

[MrsDennyM]

DIRECT DEPOSIT FOR 2/23!!! Thank you 800 number!

[Relly]

UPATE: Joint return filed on 1/30

I was able to get a refund date by calling the treasury offset hotline which just updated today. The system told me $xxx.xx owed to NC revenue dept was taken from my refund dated 2/23. That was using my wifes SS and we only owed them since last year after the IRS adjusted our 2015 return. When I used my SS it says i have POSSIBLE offsets from NY and NJ tax depts. Now I know i owe them a few bucks from 5 or 6 years ago and they pop up on my offset list every year but the never grab the money. I guess some state agencies are more pressing then others about collecting money.

This should be a backdoor way to get a date for those who have pending offsets. However, if you call and it says you have possible offsets but doesnt give any dates It can mean one of two things. Either your refund hasnt been processed yet or you might get lucky and dodge the offset. The hotline will NOT tell you about any Fed tax debt and you will have to speak to a live agent who can tell you what year its from and give you a ref number to call the IRS.

If you owe the IRS, they get their bread off the top before ANY other agency followed by the Dept of Ed. If you defaulted on any student loans.

[Kibbles]

I just got off of the phone(for the second time). The first call wasn’t successful, but then got a lady on the line the second time. She informed me that I have a deposit date of 2/23.

Filed and accepted: 1/27
Cycle code: 20170505
Credits:Both
Filed with TurboTax
I also have back taxes due to the IRS that the lady said will be taken out first.
WMR is still on processing message.

Good luck to everyone else and don’t give up when you can’t get information. (If you’re impatient like myself). Not that the money is needed I’m just impatient with everything.

[Aaron]

Filed: 1/24/17
Accepted: 1/25/17
Cycle: 20170505

Just got Code 846 – Refund Issued with a date of 3/6/17. Based on what I’ve seen that means I should expect my refund between the 22nd and the 24th.

[Tara]

Stats… Filed 1/22.
Accepted 1/23.
Path Act 1/25 and was able to order both transcripts on 1/27 ( No 846 code though ). Cycle was 0405 with a processing date of 02/13.

I updated to the processing message when everyone else did and so for nothing has change. I filed through TT with fees taken out. Sbtpg has not updated. I called to offset line, turns out I have a small offset and the recording stated that my offset had been taken out of my federal refund dated 2/23. I am in agreement with others here, I think there will be a big update tonight with DDD.

[AM88]

PSA:

IF YOU CANNOT GET THE IRS TO GET PAST THEIR SCRIPTED SPEECH, USE THIS:

Give them a call, when you finally get an IRS rep on the phone, tell them “I had an issue with my State Tax Refund. I was supposed to get my funds Direct Deposited, but something went wrong and they ended up issuing me a paper check. I have already contacted them and talked to them for awhile, they ended up telling me that there was nothing they could do at this point and they were really sorry. My account information for the Direct Deposit was on my return, but for some reason it didn’t register as a Direct Deposit with the state. They asked me if I had gotten my federal refund yet and I told them I hadn’t. They told me to call and make sure that my Federal return didn’t have the same issue before it was too late. Is there anyway you can help me?”

Worked for me. Guy said “Ya what is your SSN” … “Oh I see your scheduled for a DD on 2/23”.. Boom. End of story.

[Alisha0015]

So i filed on 1/27 and it was accepted on 1/30 i know i have offsets so i called the hotline and it told my that my offsets will be paid on 2/23 so i just found out DDD. So happy

[ajohnson]

I filed on 1.6.17 was accepted with TT on 1.13.17 I claimed both EITC and the ACTC…was on the PATH message now as of yesterday with the general WE ARE PROCESSING YOUR RETURN message…I have the fees to be taken out from the refund so I can see the amount on the SBTPG but no date no nothing. I was able to order both my transcripts on 1.13 or 1.14 not too sure still have not received them so I can’t check for anything…beyond frustrated…but it’s the government…any additional help or info will be greatly appreciated.

[Nermal]

I finally have a DD of 2/22. I filed Jan 17 and was accepted same day. A week later I received a 4464C letter saying they were looking into my return etc and it could be 60-90 days. Pulled my transcripts a week ago had code 570 and 571 to release the hold. Then 2 days ago I had code 846 refund issued with a 3/6 date. I checked WMR early this morning at 5am EST and still had processing. Checked just now @ 3:30 EST and updated to DD for 2/22. So glad that this is finally over. Such a headache. For those who have an 846 on their transcripts expect a DD date now if you check or tomorrow.

No I don’t have access to my money yet and when I called my bank they said they don’t have access to see what’s coming into my account. I have PNC. I should’ve put it on my NetSpend card but I don’t know how I would pull all my money out at once.

Just called and spoke with a rep I guess I was selected for verification. I was told a letter was mailed on 2/13 I’ve never had any issues before so I goes I’ll just have to wait and see. I received my ny state refund yesterday.

[Ranisha]

I used turbo taxto golf my taxes. I filed & was accepted 1/30. I received the path act message 2/4 and had that message until 2/15. Then I returned the “your return is being processed…” message. I still currently have that message but after calling the IRS 1-800-829-1040 this morning around 10am(cst) I spoke with someone very helpful who gave me a ddd of 2/23. My sister filed the day before using the same software & was also givin the same ddd of 2/23. We have the same messages at the same time. Her best friend filed through Jackson Hewitt on 1/26 and recieved a ddd on wmr last night at 3:19 stating her ddd was 2/22. So I don’t believe it has anything to do with who you file with or when. They tell you the 27th as a padded date And to get you off their phone. Call centers have scripts to read. Unfortunately they do not understand people (like myself) will keep calling until I get an answer that I believe or am looking for. I have netspend so it deposits two days sooner being 2/21 but hopefully with the holiday I hope it comes today. Last year I recieved it at 3:31pm (cst) which is aroubd 1:31pm in California.

[John]

Called the number spoke with a nice lady who said my taxes been sent to another department for a correction. Then perfected and back in for manual review.

Anyone else have this problem or know how this might take. My account transcript has as of 3/6/17 on though so I don’t know. Never happen to me before

[Dsquared83]

I just called because I am just inpatient and they told me that mine will be direct deposited on the 23rd. She said that they are trying to stop the calls because people are told there will be a direct deposit, but they go onto WMR and don’t see anything she said don’t worry about that. The big update comes tonight.

[Alisa]

@JSH2017

I took your advice and called back. Told her that I filed the week of the 26th. She asked me some questions and put me on hold. She said that they didn’t receive my return until 2/1, even though I filed on the 30th with TurboTax and it was accepted the same day. She told me that if I don’t see a DDD with the update tomorrow, to call back on the 22nd.

[Robert]

After waiting on hold for a total of 60 odd minutes I told the rep I wanted to check on the status of my return since it had been over 21 days and eventually I was given a DD date of 2/23. No funds in bank yet though.

[JSH2017]

@Jinga

No prob :) Now we can relax and just wait for the money!!

[Kourtnee]

Quick update:
I ordered a code for online access to my transcripts and it came today. I logged in and was able to view my transcripts. I now have the 846 code
So WMR should update in the morning like the rep said earlier.
Good luck to Everyone!

[Jinga]

Thanks sooo much JSH2017!! Call the number and the agent said DDD of 2.23 even checked for offsets. EITC CTC

[Peyton]

Just called the IRS, got a really nice rep, she did not know why the WMR system had not updated, but she assured me that 2/23/2017 is when I’ll get my refund. I filed on 1/23/2017 and was accepted the same day.

[Angel]

So I went to go check since others were getting their ddd..

“Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by February 22, 2017”.

I was accepted 1/20 so why is it going to take me until next week while others sat? I saw on igmr that people who had eic and filed after 1/31 got theirs already. I guess bc they had NetSpend? I don’t know every year it seems like NetSpend get their money way before us with Bank cards. Also is there a way we can get a refund from TT. We paid them up front for tracking and guess what we can’t get any tracking bc of PATH. Something tells me they knew this and just refuse to tell people… IF they think I am going to be happy with that generic track my refund page, then they are seriously fooling themselves.

[B]

still processing ………..they have all year to prepare for this it’s a new excuse every year like last year’s so call “system shut down” smh

[Jelly]

Hi I am wondering, for the people who received their DD dates of 2/22 and 2/23, how many have already actually gained access to their money?

[MizuSeirei]

I think everybody will be waking up to deposit dates in the morning. The IRS said that MOST of the EITC and ACTC will update on 2/18. With the remaining updates on the 20th. Smile people 😊😊😊😊😊. If you have filed between January, and 2/15, and were affected by the new law……. if you did NOT get pulled for review…… It’s happening TONIGHT! Just watch!

[Jinga]

Thanks JSH2017 I will try that number now

[Kay]

US Bank sucks… they hold your money.. never again will i use them for taxes got a DDD over the phone for 2/23, so why have they not released the money this morning.

[Lady36]

Woohoo I got a DDD 1/23/17 finally

[JSH2017]

MAKE SURE YOU ARE CALLING THE 800 829 0582 EXT. 652 *DO NOT CALL THE GENERAL CUST SERV NUMBER. COMPLETELY USELESS!!*

[Blah]

Just offering up some hope to my fellow PATHer’s sitting on the “processing” status…

My cycle code is 0405 with processing date of 2/13/17…

I called the IRS at lunch, spoke to a rep who looked into my account and she confirmed I have a DDD of 2/23/17. She also stated, unofficially, that I should start checking my account tomorrow as they word on the street is people are getting them early. Which goes hand-in-hand with reports I’ve been reading on other pages.

Rep I spoke to was Mrs. Spillane, ID# 1001307436

[Brian Lewis]

Irs drags there feet every year

[Jinga]

I called the 800 829 1040 to ask if my refund was on hold filed 1/11 still saying processing. Used EITC and CTC the agent was reluctant but told her I was audited last year and she finally checked said mine should update with DDD tmrw (Sat) along with a lot of other filers.

[momof4]

It seems that the men at the IRS is not budging on looking into your refund for a status. I have had 2 different gentlemen who keeps giving the same scripted response. Like really???

[MizuSeirei]

@Alisa You filed on 1/30 right? That means that your 21 days is 2/20. Call them on Monday if you do not update this weekend. I read on the IRS site that MOST with the credits will update on 2/18. I believe that you won’t have to make that call because you will be among the many that update after Midnight (Mountain time) tonight / 4am (Eastern time).

[JSH2017]

@Alisa

Tell them it was the week of the 1/26/17. when they start pulling it, they will ask if you are sure of the date.. then correct them. Once they are in the process, you should be able to get them to move forward.

That said, you are likely to have an update over the weekend or you can wait until Monday and you will be at the 21 days.
I am not that patient :-)

[Alisa]

I called (800) 829-0582 ext 652 and the rep wouldn’t even look at my account. The first thing she asked was when I filed then said that she can’t looked at my account because it hasn’t been 21 days. How are you all getting them to give you your DDD if it has been less than 21 days?

Filed 1/30. Accepted the same day. Claimed both credits. Path act message disappeared on 2/16 now it just says that they have received my return and it’s being processed

[Jessie83]

has anyone with US Bank received their deposit?

[JLV]

Woohoo! Finally got a direct deposit date of 2/23. I called earlier today and the representative said it was still processing. He told me to call later and see if anything changed, so I did and I am so happy to see it did. So, for everyone who has called and not got their dates yet, check back in a few hours and things may have changed.

Also, I have a question. If the deposit date is set for 2/23, does that mean I could get it sooner?

[JSH2017]

MAN!!! SO MUCH RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!

called the 800 829 0582 ext 652 and spoke to an AMAZING agent named Ms. Wessley.
She asked a BUNCH of questions but, after 9 mins on the phone, I GOT MY CONFIRMED DDD 2/23 AND AMOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I filed 1/27/17 so the general number said ‘sorry, not 21 days yet!’.

That number is the contact for relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gonna be a GOOD weekend :)

[Angel]

@Christy Thank you… I agree that this is ridiculous and someone should challenge it or they need to take off the whole 9-21 days (we’ve been waiting a month). All of us that file every year at the same time like 1/15 or 1/18 should have had our money and yet I see people on facebook from IGMR that have their money who didn’t do theirs until the 1/31 or 2/02, etc. I’m like I filed as soon as I had my w2 which was released to the IRS on the 14th and it was linked to the IRS site when I did my taxes online. Why in the world should I have to wait if it’s already been linked…. (seriously unless the company I work with gave our w2’s to some scammers there’s no way a different person besides me could link that- I highly doubt my company is that dumb..I know its all suppose to be done electronically right via a website why would you send it through an email T.T ). I guess maybe bc I am younger and we have been going to school learning how to catch scammers and phising emails that I feel this way. I honestly thought this is just an excuse for them to either be lazy or what everyone else has been saying- “The US is broke”. We don’t have enough money to pay the people back, where did all that money go too I wonder? I mean the entire year you’ve been collecting vigorously and now when it’s time to give it back there’s a problem… smh. I do understand what you are saying that when it’s turned in …it should be viewed as soon as they get it instead of doing what they did (path). Basically, we’ll deal with it later mentality and now that it’s later they are once again like every year are swamped.

[Unicorns & Nomes]

QUESTION: I’ve seen peep report their WMR message is “…received and process-ING…” and I’ve seen peeps report “…received and process-ED…”

DOES ANYONE know if the assumption (made by others) that if your WMR message says “process-ED”(vs. “process-ING” the funds are already transferred?

[Jamie]

@John

Further down, someone else had a DDD of 3/6/2017 on her transcripts however when her WMR was updated this morning, it showed a DDD of 2/22/2017.

[Erica]

I filed 1-31 with turbotax online and had the PATH message until the 16th. Today I checked IRS and got a DDD of 2/22.

[Alexandria]

Hello guys! I also am normally one to lurk around, but when calling (800) 829-0582 ext. 652, I received much useful information:
My DDD is scheduled for Thursday, 2/23/17! Now for those wondering, I filed 2/5 and was accepted that same night. I claimed the ACTC, as well as the educational credit. Glad to know that the wait wasn’t much longer than any other year I’ve filed! 😁

[John]

This is so frustrating. Still have to use old address for account transcript which is blank and has as of date of 3/6/17 and all zeros for everything else

Wtf is going on. I see people whom filed after getting ddd and people before in the same boat. This is the biggest bs I’ve ever seen in doing my taxes.

Anyone else in same boat

[Meena Me]

I think it was auto correct sometimes you have a word in mined then when you type it the phone changes it and if you don;t notice you send a messed up message. I don’t think it was intentional maybe me meant nice lady

[Jamie]

I filed on 1/13 with TT
Was accepted within day
I got the EITC (although it was not much at all)
I paid my fees out of my refund (the fees actually came out of my state return because I received them on 2/8)
I showed 1 bar until early Feb when it to the PATH message
It switched to the ‘still processing” on 2/16
As of today it is still showing the “processing” message on WHR
I tried to order my transcripts online but my cell phone is part of a family share plan and it’s not in my name (this is the dumbest thing ever!)
Fearing that I needed to do an ID Verification because I had to do one to get my state return I called the following number at 7am this morning: 1-800-829-0582 Ext 652 and got through right away
The gentleman I spoke to was super nice and very helpful, he told me that my DDD was 2/22 and I should see my refund in my bank on 2/23 – he even made sure the information was correct with is supervisor before telling me the information
I checked Republic Bank and they are not showing a pending deposit for me; however they didn’t show anything with my State return until the day before it was deposited into my account.
My DD is set to be deposited into my checking account

HTH!

[MEH]

So I have an update from my post last night…I checked my transcripts and now it shows refund issued and code 846. With the date 03/07. My processing date is 02/20/17 and cycle code is 20170505. I filed 1/28 and it was accepted the same day. WMR still says I am processing and my bank doesn’t show anything yet nor does republic bank as far as my fees. So i am not sure what my ddd will be at this point. I filed with TaxAct btw. Hope this helps 1/28 filers or those with 20170505 cycle codes and 02/20/2015 processing dates. I will update when I have a ddd or see something in my bank account.

@shawn

do you not find anything wrong with your choice of words in that comment? ….

[CeeCee]

Sooo I called the IRS this morning around 10:20 Waited about 20 mins or so. But, such a nice guy. He stated they are suppose to tell tax payers that they have to wait until after the 27th before calling in to get status but, he gone ahead and checked for me anyway and, confirmed i do indeed have a dd of 02/23/2017. Wmr still states processing my return. Never would’ve known had I not called in. Also, I filed 01/27/2017.

[Nessa]

I filed 2/4
Accepted same day
Had the 1st bar for a few days then went to Path generic message
Ordered my transcripts by mail 3 days ago
Checked last night, nothing
Just an half hour ago 12:30pm est bars are back up and it shows it’s been approved and headed to my bank (prepaid card) by 2/22..

[Alikat]

@jsh2017

I filed and was accepted 1/23. I only check WMR once a day, in the mornings. Yesterday I had no change, and then this morning when I checked I had 2 bars with a DDD of 2/22.

Filed with TurboTax. Had both eic and acta credits.

[shawn]

I used TT and was accepted on 1/13 0405 processing code. I have both credits. My WMR is the generic processing message. I just called the IRS and used the 652 extension I was on hold for 30 minutes. I go a very helpful Negro lady she asked a few question pulled up my account and informed me I will have a DD on 2/23 my birthday yohoo.

[Toots]

@Sarah

I agree about TT. I have noticed that a lot, not all who filed with TT have no receieved a DDD OR update on the SBBT website. It seems the ones who have used TT and receieved their money, had NO fees taken out and the ones who used TT and had fees are still waiting. Like I said, strictly my opinion from just reading and watching all of the threads.

@Nessa

“A lot” does not equal all…we’re just saying that from our point of view TT seems to be lagging with DD dates.

[Nessa]

There are ppl in this thread saying they filed with TT and have a DD date

[Kyo]

So basically every one who has the ‘still processing’ message has a DDD of 2/23?
I guess the update will show that tomorrow and hopefully are money comes sooner than the date.

[AmandaGDDA]

Just got off the phone with an IRS rep who told me that I have a ddd of 2/23. I filed and was accepted 1/25 with eic and direct deposit to my bank account. Wmr says still processing. Things are moving guys!

My boss just filed her return 9 days ago and has a ddd of 2/22. There is no method to the irs madness.

Remember to use extention 652 when calling the irs to check on your status. I spoke with Mrs Baller and she was to the point but lovely.

Good luck everyone! Keep us updated!

[MissB]

I obviously didn’t spell check, sorry y’all lol I bout died when I read my last msg….
Anyways YESSSS I’ve not met anyone that’s used TT that’s got a DD yet. And her WMR STILL says sane thing even though her $$ is in her hands…. So I give up on that part.
I’m wondering why TT hasn’t released an update for its customers??

[JSH2017]

@Alikat

Hey – so, you checked WMR this morning and you just checked it again and it is showing a different status?

When did you file?

I sure hope they are in fact updating regularly. I am SOOOO ready for this being-in-the-dark to be over :(

[Sarah]

@MissB

I feel the trend I am seeing is that a lot of people that filed with TT are not seeing a DD…:-(

[MissB]

Just to show there’s nothing u can go by…..
A friend and I filed same day, both using CHILD ANS eic credits.
Anyways, neither WMR have updated and today her refund was deposited into netapend. I also have a netspend.
So the only thing I can see is we used turbo tax and she used liberty tax? Who knows but I’m soooo over the wait! I’m so broke…..

[Alikat]

Filed and accepted 1/23 through TT with both EIC and ACTC. Path message on 1/25. Was able to order both return and account transcripts on 1/29.
Cycle code 0405 with a processing date of 02/13/2017.

Checked WMR this AM and my generic message (we have received your review and it is processing) was gone. I am now approved with 2 bars and a DDD of 02/22, going to my bank account.

Stay positive folks, money is coming!!

[D]

@justme

What is your exact processing message if you dont mind and do you still see Topic 152 at bottom or no?

[justme]

hello everyone! on my WMR still says processing. I called the irs today and spoke with a nice person. She looked up my account for me and she says I have a DDD for 2/23/17.EVerything should be updated by tomorrow. I would call to find out our DDD. Previous years I got it before the WMR updated. I chose to get mine on the Jackson Hewitt serve card, Hopefully I get it sooner. Tomorrow everyone will know!!!!!!!

[BobsChick]

Called the only time I ever have and got the canned 27th message, but from what I’m seeing hopefully I get my money on the 22nd or 23rd.

[duncan]

Seems like quite a few early filers 1/25 and 1/26 are getting held up. Best to wait a week or so after the IRS accepts returns to file.

[duncan]

Danielle @Dsquared83 I got an update on WMR today and it shows a DDD of February 22nd.

[JJJOS]

Filed 1/31, accepted same day.

Had the PATH message until yesterday. Got a transcript today, has the 846 code of 3/6/2017. Looked at last year’s transcript, the 846 code was for 2/22/2016, but I actually had the money deposited on 2/10/2016. So I’m looking at 2/22/2017 for this deposit. Let’s see if I’m right. I hope so, because I need to buy a car.

[JSH2017]

@Christy

Who told you that? I don’t think that is accurate. If it were, no one who fell in this PATH group would have a DDD, let alone show it in their accounts. They held off on processing the refund distribution but the returns were still run through the processing steps once they were received (not before 1/23, of course)… there is a lot of info coming from a lot of places. Sadly, there seems to be no uniformity to any of it. I just hope I get some closure soon. It is the not knowing that really has me agitated. I mean, throw us a bone and give us an actual update for goodness sake!

[Kourtnee]

@JSH2017
Filed 1/23 and accepted same day

[D Sheidy]

I hope I didn’t just screw myself. I too haven’t seen a ddd. So, I called. Ms. Housman who looked into my file and stated that I didn’t file a 2014 return, but I had requested an extension that year. But, they didn’t receive a return. I thought for sure that I filed, but they know better than me. She noted my account that I will have the 2014 return in no later than March 20th. She said my ddd for my refund this year is 2/23 and that the system will update overnight and I will see it in the wmr. I wonder if they will hold it now? She didn’t say that would happen. This refund has already been processed and approved with a ddd. What does everyone think?

[Carrie Clover]

HUZZAH 846 Code!!! With date of 3/6/17 but that doesn’t mean much. Last year I got my return 11 days before the date on my transcripts! The end is NEAR!

[Taxseasonsucks]

Accepted 1/27/16
EIC credit and school
Path message until 2/16/17 then it went to we are are processing your return….
2/17/16 I have DDD of 02/22/17
See y’all next year!!!

[Christy]

Filed 1-26. “still processing” on 2-17. Even though the PATH ACT restricted the release of tax refunds with the EITC and/or ACTC to the 15th of February, rather than processing those returns and releasing the funds on that date, the IRS decided to push back the processing of those returns until after the 15th. It’s unfortunate, but rather than taking the extra time to review returns to prevent fraud, the IRS used the PATH ACT as a reason to push all of those returns to the bottom of the pile. I hope some advocacy group steps up and argues on behalf of the millions of low income families who are affected by this.

[JLV]

The IRS website still says processing. I filed 1/20, accepted 1/23. I was able to order transcripts via mail on the 15th of Feb. I do not really know what that means at this point. I called a representative today and he told me that there is no deposit date for me yet. I explained to him that so many people either had their money or had a deposit date already and asked him why I did not. He said that it really just varies from person to person. Some people do and some people don’t. It’s a matter of the files being sorted through individually. He actually told me to keep calling because the website only updates once a day. So I am going to try again in the evening and see if anything changes. Really have my fingers crossed here because I am not someone who can wait until the 27th. All my bills are due within a week from today and if they are not paid, I will have no electric, car insurance, or water, or internet access for that matter. I have been holding off all of the bills for as long as I could. My husband lost his job and things are so impossibly tight.

[JSH2017]

@ThunderChunky

What number/ext did you call to get that info? I called and spoke to the most USELESS rep who wouldn’t even enter my SSN because I filed and was accepted 1/27/17 making today the 21st day….

[Christie]

Do they deposit money on the weekend ?

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan still the same processing with topic 152. I was reading that there will be no update on WMR till the 18th, but people are saying they have updates on their WMR so who knows. I checked republic bank and they still have not recieved my refund. Since I was able to order my return transcript I’m sure I’ll see something soon……hopefully!

[ThunderChunky]

I filed married/joint with my husband on 1/28 accepted same day. Called today because an expected offset wasn’t in the TOP hotline and when attempting to order transcripts was receiving the message that information did not match. Agent told me that system reflects a DDD of 02/23/2016. Offset just didn’t happen this year and corrected my address information but assured me this had not affected my taxes. I had called the Emerald card support and was told 02/18 by representative and can only imagine that they have been giving this date as a way to hold people over until the big WMR update. I”m keeping a watch on my account but at this point I don’t have my hopes high for anything sooner.

[JSH2017]

@Kourtnee

When did you file/get accepted?

[Casey]

I have called the irs twice and both times have been given a scripted answer by 2 different reps..they don’t even take the time to look up my account to see if there’s a ddd just tell me to wait .ive been waiting since january the 26th filed and accepted same day. I Just called again spent 26 minutes on hold and got hung up on. I am beyond frustrated

[Monique]

Addition: I was only able to claim the ACTC this year. However, I don’t think claiming one, the other, or both means you will receive your refund later than someone else who claimed differently. As long as you claimed one of these credits you had to wait.

[HEATHER]

STILL SAYS PROCESSING FOR ME AS WELL. I AM ABLE TO ORDER TRANSCRIPTS, BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANS FOR ME AS FAR AS WHEN TO SEE MY MONEY THOUGH

[JSH2017]

@mamaro

I also filed/accepted on 1/27/17. when were you able to access your Return Transcript? mine was unavailable until the day before the last “update” on 02/10/2017.

for the last two years, I wake up on Saturday to either a pending deposit or a full deposit from the IRS but no change in status on WMR.

what number/ext did you call to get someone who actually is willing to do their job?

[Adrian]

I got a letter 4883c, saying I have to call, so I called. I have to go to my IRS location in my city next week with farking IDs to verify just for the process to finish

[Kourtnee]

Yessssss!!! Called IRS rep( Ms.Williams 1001181345) and finally got a DDD of 02/23!!!!! Still doesn’t show in Where’s my refund, and I have not looked at my transcripts because I am locked out of the online portal, but yay it’s coming! I will probably see if on Tuesday morning!
It’s coming!

[mamaro]

I also claimed the eic and actc….

[Monique]

Update:

*Probably most helpful to individuals who filed with H&R Block (online eFile)

WMR Info
Filed: 1/18/17
Accepted 1/19/17
DDD: None
Message: We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

I filed my tax return early as usual and through H&R Block this year. I tend to switch it up because sometimes TT tries to force you into paying extra fees for products or services you don’t want even after you select “no, thanks”. I knew beforehand about the PATH Act as some who used to work for the IRS and someone who just stays abreast of tax information. I received the PATH Act notice from H&R Block and the IRS via WMR. I never saw any bars. As a matter of fact, I checked WMR once right after filing and did not check again until late last week. What was the point when I knew I would be waiting until or after the 15th?

I checked again on the 15th and got the message that my return was accepted/received and being processed. The PATH Act states that returns will be processed regardless of credits claimed but complete REFUND will be held. I checked again yesterday…same message. Again, this morning and still the same processing message. Well, I had HAD enough of that stupid message. Especially because year after year people talk in this forum about never seeing an update to te WMR but receiving their refund. IRS needs to get their ISHT together and at least have tools and systems that work appropriately. But, I digress.

Since I had HAD enough, I called in to the IRS. It’s been 21 days since filing so they have to help you regardless of if they want to or not. The wait is not long right now. About 30 minutes or less. I got Ms Moody (no pun intended) on the phone and she was very polite and nice. Her voice was pleasant as well. That says a lot if you have called into the IRS hotline before. Ms. Moody was able to look up my account and tell me that I have a DDD of 2/23/17. So, I should get my refund on or slightly after that date. She also said that if i don’t get the refund within 5 days of that date to call back.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me any questions.

[mamaro]

I ordered transcripts last week and had the cycle code 20170505 no 846 code February 20th “due date” Today is technically the 21st day so I called and played dumb wanted to make sure there wasn’t a letter or anything else they needed from me… The lady took about 2 minutes on hold and said I’m scheduled for DDD on Feb 23rd I hope everyone gets ddd soon!

[Kimberly]

@TaxSeason2017

When did you file and get accepted?

[TIBA]

Gm yall. I finally got a date as of 2/17 for 2/22… WMR updated after 6 this morning. YAYYYY finally!! I filed and was accepted 2/1,with education credit, 2 dependent, 2 w-2, and a 1099. I had the bar for 3 days, then PATH message up until 2/16, and had the processing message up until 6am. I stayed up redin g this forum until 4 this morning and had no update. But at 9:00 i checked just because and had refund approved 2/22. There’s hope and maybe others will update tomorrow. I’s just happy for an update finallyyyyy!!:)

[TC36]

Filed and accepted 1/23, eitc and actc. No movement on wmr, so I finally broke down and called the IRS. Lady was super rude and maybe a little crazy. Her name is Miss Adams.

Me: Hi, I am hoping you will be able to help me. I filed and was accepted on January 23rd and haven’t seen any movement on my where’s my refund, so I am starting to get concerned. Some people who filed awhile after me have already received their funds—

Ms. Adams: No. No. No one has received their refunds yet. No one will receive refunds before the 22nd. Don’t base your return on anyone else’s. (she seems very angry). When did you file?

Me: I filed almost a month ago, on the 23rd.

Adams: That isn’t almost a month ago. Let me check and see if it has even been 21 days.

(Wait..what?! Basic math, lady, basic math)

Adams: Ok. It has been longer than 21 days. What is the social?

Me: (gave social)

Adams: Well, it seems to me something about this return just isn’t jelling (I swear, she said that..jelling). It shows you haven’t filed a return in over 3 years…(settling into her amateur detective role). You see, something just ain’t right here.

Me: I have filed the same way every year for 10 years. Absolutely nothing has changed. Can you try my social, instead of my husband’s?

Adams: Do you have a hard copy of your return?

Me: No, not yet. I filed with TurboTax and I usually wait until everything is done before I print my return.

Adams: Well, I don’t know if I can help you. You need that hard copy. You need to print it off and keep it until the day you die!!

Me: Can’t you just try my social? Please?

Adams: Fine.

Me: (gives social)

Adams: Oh. (seems disappointed that her amateur sleuthing didn’t result in catching me for the fraud she was SURE I was committing). Do you have a pen and paper? I need you to take down some information.

Me: (freaking out. What information? What is wrong with my return??)

Adams: Your direct deposit date is February 23rd. Have a nice day.

I don’t know whether to be happy or mad that I was treated like a criminal. Either way, I have my date so Miss Adams can go f*ck herself.

[Robin]

I checked this morning and it gave me a ddd of 1/22. I just looked at my bank acct and it is already pending deposit so I will likely have access to it tomorrow. =)

[JSH2017]

@Jenn

When did you file? Did you have the EIC or ACTC?

[ThatGirlG]

So, I had an update overnight. I am now able to order all transcripts. My account transcript is showing the 846 code and cycle date of 20170705, which means I should get my direct deposit on 2/22.

[Owlo]

You want a negative number there, if it were positive you would owe them money.

[Christie]

@yd okay thank you omg my heart dropped when I saw that! This year has been so stressful for all of us !! And If my processing date ends in 05 when would I be receiving dd?

[Lucy]

@Kyo

You’re very welcome! 😊

[Yd]

@christine
That’s okay. It will be negative until you receive your refund. It’s just saying that’s what they owe you. Once refund is processed it will be positive.

[Christie]

Someone please help !! Anybody!! I’m currently on hold waiting to speak with someone ( an IRS rep) but I just received my transcript in the mail. Where it says refund amount it has a – sign next to it. Why would that be??

[Rei]

Just got off the phone with Miss Jones from IRS… Says DD of 2/23!! Also said doesn’t know why IRS is still showing possessing, but should update on 2/18.. We are in the home stretch!

Hi!
I usually don’t post, I just lurk, but I wanted to share some information with you guys that I just received. I filed on January 14th with eic/actc and still have the processing message on wmr. I called the irs number with the 652 extension and spoke with an agent. She wasn’t going to pull my return until I specifically asked her to. She gave me a dd of Feb 23, which she said wmr SHOULD update overnight tonight. So good luck to everyone!

[sunglaze]

filed 1/23 wmr received return and is being processed
just call irs ddd 2/23

[Nessa]

I’m thinking a lot of folks will see updates tomorrow morning on WMR. Someone posted below that theyve gotten updates on Saturday before. That is true for myself as well. Im so tempted to call my bank and check if a deposit pending but i dont want any disappointments. I checked SBTPG website since I filed thru TT and have to have fees deducted and I didnt see anything there either.

Last year we received our refund in June so I am quite thrilled to at least have an 846 code now.

[Kayla]

My refund is officially in my checking account and not pending anymore. When I go to check the status of it on the IRS website, It shows the bars and says refund approved but not that its deposited. Don’t go off of their site. Check your bank accounts a few times a day.

[Kayla]

@Nessa

Yes, Yesterday was the 1st day that it showed 846 on my transcript so you’re probably right. It may take at least a day to show up. Keep checking your accounts. My refund didn’t show up until 430pm yesterday in my pending transactions and as of about 10 min ago, it is officially in my checking account and spendable :)

[Jenn]

Just spoke to someone at the IRS and they stated my return is still being processed. Then told me I have a deposit date of 2/23!! Woohoo

[Bad]

I filed on 1/24 and accepted the same day and I still have the processing message! Seeing everyone’s updates with 2/22 DD gave me hope but my status has not changed! I self-filed with FreeTaxUsa. Anyone else experience this?

[Jeni]

This is my first time posting although I’ve been following. i’ve been very patient this yr. But my patience is officially wearing pretty thin…. I have not called the irs 3x’s a day like some, I can’t look at transcripts online because I have a prepaid phone, I’ve been kicking back reading and waiting in silence. Woke up this morning hoping to see some kind of update or pending something anything… Nothing. We filed 1-21 was accepted 1-23 and PATH a couple days after that. Got the ‘we have received your refund and it is being processed’ message yesterday and still there along with great disappointment this morning. We filed through a small town company and have through the same company for 5 yrs. Claimed the same children for 5 yrs except our youngest who joined us last yr and was on last yrs taxes. Same job for 8 yrs. I mean seriously how hard is this IRS?? I just needed to vent… I realize PATH is new this yr and it’s a little bit of madness but that doesn’t make me any less upset right now.

[Nessa]

@Kayla thanks for replying :)

I checked my account and there is no pending deposit. Did you have an 846 yesterday? Wondering if it takes a day to actually see the deposit.

[Kayla]

@Nessa

My transcript still shows 03-06-2017 beside the 846 code and I am getting my money today so you should get yours anytime now as well. Have you checked your bank account to see if its pending?

[Nessa]

Yesterday my transcript had a cycle date of 20170405 with processing date of Feb. 13th. There was no 846 Refund Issued Code

This morning I still have the generic processing message on WMR. I rechecked my transcript and now have an 846 Refund Issued Code with a Date of -3-06-2017.

Question for those who received a DD date of 2/22, what does your transcript reflect as the 846 refund Issued Date?

[Kayla]

Yesterday my refund showed up in my pending transactions on my bank account to deposit on 2/22. I just talked to my bank and they said it should actually deposit today by 10am.

Idk if this is the case for everyone but its hope!

[Kay]

Finally got someone to give me some information. I filed on 1/25 and filed 2 family members on 1/31, they got there funds I didn’t. I do have an offset and the young lady stated that it will come out of my return and told me that they had until 2/23 to release my funds.. I assume that is my DDD? This has been a nightmare

[Ryan]

Filed and accepted on 1/24. Received a DDD of 2/22 this morning. Deposit is already pending in my bank account. YAY!

[Wait2Long]

@kim Thats when I usually update. I hope so. I had a death in the family and have to help with the burial so hopefully its coming soon

[Kim]

A lot of us with no DDD will update tomorrow, I always get updates on Saturdays! I wouldn’t worry until after the 18th.

Generic Message since 02/16/17

called the IRS and spoke to an ‘agent’. asked a few questions to which she gave no answers other than a bunch of generic non-specific answers. asked if there was anything she could see about my return and she said she never even entered my info to pull up my file because, and I quote, she “didn’t see any reason to”. WOOOOOOOOOOOOW.

Told her I will just have to wait another 15 minutes and call back to which she responded by hanging up on me. NICE.

ACTC/no EITC

[Wait2Long]

Hello, If anyone can answer this for me… the ppl who show 2/22 DDD.. did you pay your fees upfront or having them taken out? Thanks :-)

[AmandaGDDA]

Filed and accepted 1/25 – path message bc of EIC. Currently still have processing message. No ddd. Tried to call irs with 652 extention.. super high call volume and couldn’t get through. I checked the Republic Bank website and my state refund is pending but has not hit my bank account. There is hope! Small progress is still progress. I used Taxact. Good luck to us all! Please keep updating as it is encouraging to see who else is in the same boat as the rest of us.

[Gofish123]

Oh and i filed 1/29 accepted 1/31 did both credit had PATH message till 1/16 and now have processing message. But i called ext 652 and was able to get my ddd from a live person. Be nice to them when you call and hopefully they will give you a answer. This has been tough on everyone. I have never filed before the middle of February and this feels longer i think only because of the new law. But thinking back on previous years its been about this long too. I feel for the people that filed with tax credits earlier. Have faith.

[Ryan]

Filed and accepted 1/24. Finally got a direct deposit date of 2/22. The deposit is already pending in my bank account for that date. I thknk I can breath again.

[herewego]

I wonder why some ppl are waking up to a DDD of 2/22. I have had the PATH msg since 1/26 and checked yesterday and got the message “your refund is processing” ordered both transcripts on 1/26. I am so confused. Could it be that WMR just hasn’t updated everyone’s DDD to 2/22?

Getting nervous.

I just called and got a ddd of 2/23. I filed with eic and aic. So its finally coming to a end! God is so good! I really need this to pay my rent. God is always right on time!

[Ashley]

@Will-I-Am I also filed with TT and had my fees taken out of my refund. Still no update of DDD, still have the same we’ve received your refund and it is being processed on wmr.

THE WAIT OVER!!!!

[Refundking]

Woke up to 2 bars and a DDD of 2/22!! Had both transcripts available yesterday with a 20170504 code and 846 as well. Usually I get my refund before the actual ddd so hopefully it goes in soon.

[Walker]

Still no updates as of this morning filed on 02/01 accepted 02/02 still have tax topic 152 ,never got path message still in one bar , wtf have Eic credits only , two w2’s. I’m hurt 😤😤😤

[Jessye]

Filed with Turbo Tax, accepted 1/23 with both credits
Got Path message 2/4
Changed to “we have received your refund and its being processed” 2/16
Ordered both transcripts 2 weeks ago
Still nothing today…getting frustrated!!!!

[Jamie]

I just spoke with the IRS & my ddd is 2/22!! So if your WMR hasn’t updated like mine don’t give up hope :)

[karen]

eitc/actc

1/27 filed/accepted

1 bar to path message 2/4

2/16 processing

2/17 WMR shows 2/22 ddd and my bank account has a pending transfer for the amount.

[Francesca]

Filed joint return 2/1/17 using TurboTax software and both returns were accepted same day. Did not have fees deducted (paid upfront). Claimed both EIC and ACTC. Finally this morning site shows return has been processed and return is expected to be deposited 2/22. Not sure how people are showing pending deposits through their banking instituitions for DDD for 2/22. I bank with Wells Fargo and I didn’t see anything pending online other than my paycheck today. Was hoping we would have gotten lucky and received our return today. Still hoping we do. Hope this helps!

[Angie]

I filed 1/24 – I got the EIC on our taxes.

I got the PATH message up until 2/15/2017

2/16/2017 My status changed to processing and my transcript showed a date of 3/6/2017

2/17/2017 – I woke up this morning and WMR stated a DDD of 2/22.

This has been a long month. I still don’t understand why the lower income people with kids are the ones waiting for our refunds. But the people that have no idea what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck are making the rules or laws.

Come of 2/22 – Good Luck everyone

[Helloimkm]

I claimed EITC and had transcripts showing cycle: 20170503 with a processing date of 2/20/17. This morning I got an updated DDD of 2/22/17! Yay :)

[shelley]

Omg finally!!! I woke to 2 bars this morning…so excited!!!! Ddd of 2/22…

Filed 1/23 accepted 1/24. Path act for longest. Then generic processing message.

Good luck everyone… thank you for posting, it has helped me get through the wait… ☺

[Ash]

Actually, I filed 1/29 & I have an acct with card.com.. only knew my refund had been deposited because I received a text alert.

[jakeinga]

Checked WMR this morning, I lost the Path message with everybody else and back to processing. This morning I was updated to a DDD of 2/22.

I filed EITC, CTC and an education credit with TT Online late evening 1/31, was accepted about an hour later. Had one bar and 152 for a couple of days, then the Path Message until the other day.

I paid up front, and DD is going to BoA, in twenty years of using them I have never gotten a refund available in my account later than the DDD, but never more than a couple of days before either, although this is the first time in those years It has been on a bank holiday, my experience with payroll is that BoA typically makes pending DD’s available prior to the weekend. My experience with BoA is also that I rarely see anything go through on a Monday or Tuesday after a holiday, so if I don’t have it by tomorrow, I won’t see it until Wednesday. Either way no big deal.

[Ash]

My refund was deposited yesterday around 430pm. I claimed EIC only, filed with turbo tax 1/27 & accepted the same day. I had the PATHs msg until Thursday morning when it updated to my return has been received & is being preocessed. After my deposit I checked WMR & still had the same msg but this morning it’s showing approved, ddd 2/22 even though I’ve already received it already.

[MinaChan]

I filed 2/4, accepted 2/4, updated to PATH 2/6, and updated to “we have received your tax return and it is being processed” on 2/15. I checked my transcripts an hour ago, nothing. I just checked it about 10 minutes ago and I got 846 code with a date of 03-06-17. So it’s coming guys! My cycle code is 20170605. Any idea when we’ll be seeing refunds?

[JonnyTombstone]

Filed 1/24 – accepted 1/24. I have both credits path message till 2/16

Account transcripts
cycle date 20170405
processing date at 2/13/2017
no 846 code

This morning I rechecked my account transcripts.

846 Refund issued 03-06-2017

Hope this helps everyone with Knowledge

[Mommy22of2]

I filed on 1/19 was accepted 1/25. I have bath the eitc and the CTC and still am processing. I have not received any letters asking me for anything. Is there a reason they decided to corner us this year? I have never had to wait this long before. Hopefully will have a DDD tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

[Teresa in NC]

Screwed by the PATH Act
WMR finally shows 2 bars this morning! Shows I should have my refund by 2/22! Hang in there guys. Its coming!!!

[Will-I-Am]

Seems like everyone that didnt take out funds to file are getting their money now. Maybe the rest of us will see something on Monday. 20170405 Feb 13 process funds taken out for TT still waiting….no ddd.

[CC]

**UPDATE**
Good morning,
I got an update online this morning for a DDD of 2/22/17 for federal. I had 3/6/17 on my transcript when I checked it yesterday.

Have a blessed day all!

[MW]

WMR updated today to refund approved should receive DD by 2/22 however it’s in my checking account this morning. was pending yesterday.

[Screwed by IRS year after year]

WMR update for me in PA. Seems they always find any way they can to drag out my refund. One year, my bank account info got changed to all zeros. Another year, we had to wait extra weeks because we chose to have our prep fees deducted from the refund. Last year, it was a resequencing because we filed early. This year, PATH. For me, WMR says they are mailing my refund out by the 24th and not to bother contacting them until March 24th if it doesn’t come. I know I should be glad to finally have an answer, but I get so tired of the stress associated with this every year. And, of course, stuff picks this time of year to fail, so instead of using the $ to get ahead, I now have a furnace that needs fixed and a dying fridge. Maybe it’s just my curse. I hope some of you have better luck!

[Trey]

Nothing here either!! On transcript was processing date 2/13/2017 and cycle code 20170405 same processing message as yesterday 😭 Can this hurry up haven’t recv a letter from IRS or no out of ordinary codes on transcript, Never filing in January again.

[Alexis Jacobson]

I just checked my status and my refund went from processing to approved in less then a day and I should get it back by 2/22! Hope everyone else is getting close to the same messages!

[Karen]

I feel 1/29/2017
Direct. Deposit 2/22/2017
Filed child credit
To check DD from IRS called IRS. 1800_829-0582. #652. Ask when your direct deposit…. Good see y’all next year. 😁

[Jamie]

I’m getting so discouraged! I filed on 1/13 & get an accepted confirmation right away. I just checked my WMR & still that stupid processing message. I cannot order a transcript online because I’m on a family share plan so my cell phone is not in my name 🙄 My mail is very unreliable so I was wondering when everyone got their forms to confirm their id’s? Maybe that’s why mine is being held up is all I can think of. I’m calling them today!

[Amanda]

Hello everyone I’ve been following this thread for some time now and just wanted to let everyone that my wmr JUST updated with a DDD That actually says my refund is scheduled to sent BY 2/22..I filed 1/31 accepted within minutes went to path message was affected with both credits path went away 2/16 had standard processing message and now has updated to a ddd! Idk how to post a pic or I would for proof. Filed with H&R Block and using emerald card! Hope to see it sooner lol! Good luck and be patient everyone it’s coming!!! FINALLY

[bomber23]

WMR finally updated for me with a DDD of 2/22!

I filed Saturday 1/28 accepted the same day
Got the PATH message the next update that week, which I think was Wednesday. Path went away the 2/16 at midnight and finally updated with an approved refund for 2/22 tonight!

CHECK WMR!

[Amanda]

I’m so stressed at this point I used jackson h to file I filed on 1.27 and was accepted same day I have gotten nothing it’s frustrating seeing people who filed after me getting theirs already I really hope theirs some sort of an update tonight I need some closure to end this madness.

[LadyBug]

Helpful information I found on the IRS website..

https://www.irs.gov/refunds/tax-season-refund-frequently-asked-questions

I claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) on my tax return. When can I expect my refund?

• By law, the IRS is required to hold EITC and ACTC refunds until February 15. However, taxpayers may not see those refunds until the week of February 27 – if there are no processing issues with the tax return and the taxpayer chose direct deposit.

• Where’s My Refund? will be updated on February 18 for the vast majority of early filers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. Before February 18, some taxpayers may see a projected deposit date or an intermittent message that the IRS is processing their return.

[Mark]

I filed 1/5 accepted 1/12 . Path just disappeared 1/16 . Now says processing. I have eic. Took paycheck to bank today and asked if I had any pending transactions she said my federal was waiting to clear and will go thru on 1/22 . I had no fees to pay .

[LadyBug]

I filed 1-24 I have both EIC and ACTC. I have not had any changes on my PATG message till today when it changed to ” Your refund has been received and it’s being processed”. No DDD yet. I filled with TurboTax online and had fees deducted from my refund. I’ve also checked SBTPG to see if they have an update before WMR but nothing has changed either. I hope I wake tomorrow to and actual update as to when my refund will be deposited. My cycle number is 20170405 not sure if it means anything at this point. Will continue to wait as patiently as I can.

[MEH]

Someone had said in an earlier post that it seemed those who filed 1/24 to 1/30 had gotten their refunds. I filed 1/28 and was accepted on 1/28 and haven’t gotten my refund. I have EIC. I have the processing message on wmr. My transcripts show 20170505 and processing date of 02/20/2017. I selected dd into my bank account and for the fees to be taken out which is done through Republic Bank. I have checked Republic Bank and nothing is received and nothing paid on the fee side either. I don’t have any pending deposits in my bank account either. My transcript shows the normal codes but no refund issued code when i checked tonight. I hope this process speeds up for us all. I will update if anything changes.

[Hot dude wit rotten teeth]

I have seen a few early filers on FB get their refunds posted

[Kellyo]

Sorry, should have stated that the ones that I read that got deposits were from around those dates and of course, not everyone from those dates got theirs. I haven’t seen any early filers get a refund yet.

[Hm]

I filed 1/24 accepted 1/25 ACTC only
Still waitng updated to path on 2/11
Updated this morning to
Being processed

[chris]

I did mine 1/24 and nothing yet

[Kellyo]

Actually, it seems like people who filed between 1/24 and 1/30 got their deposits today. I filed early – 1/13 and have been waiting since then. I knew I would be waiting until 2/15 to get a deposit, but now I’m getting a little frustrated. Hoping for a deposit tomorrow, but I’ve learned not to expect anything or I will be disappointed this year.

[duncan]

@jcook785 (Jennifer) thanks for letting us know how you found out by calling and that banks can see in advance.

It appears that the earlier people filed the sooner they are getting their deposit back, so it is First IN / First OUT, unless you were held up for ID verification.

I filed/accepted feb 8th… anyone else file around this time or after?

[Amanda]

Has santa barbra bank updated for. Any.of you that are pending or have recieved their money?

[UncleSam69]

@Gi

Sorry let me state for the record shes not really my wife, we’re not really married by law. We’ve been together 10 years but dont plan on actually getting married. So nothing wrong going on here. Thanks tho

[Mandy]

I just checked my bank account and I have a pending deposit from IRS. I filed 1/17 accepted next day. I was affected by the path act. WMR never updated and I checked multiple times today and all of a sudden a deposit popped up on my bank account. Finally

[Jennifer]

So just to clarify…I called my personal bank, gave my banking information and asked if there were any pending deposits. I was told there was a deposit in the amount of my refund pending for 2/22. Apparently banks can see 6 days in advance! My question is why can’t I receive my money before then? What is the hold-up if it’s sitting there? If they can see it, why don’t I have it?

[Dain100x]

Just called my emerald card to see if there were any pending deposits and was told my money was scheduled for deposit today 2/16 but since it’s already this late it should be in 2/17 by 8AM. I filed 1/27 and was accepted same day, I hope this brings hope to some of you I will post again when the funds are actually in my account. Filed with EITC only.

[Gi]

Maybe they’re onto you, Unclesam.

[UncleSam69]

Something crazy here, my wife got hers earlier today. I filed hers 3 days after mine on 1/26 she only claims 1 of our kids and single, i claim our 2 boys and head of household i filed 3 days before her on 1/23. Same banks, she got hers earlier today and she had an offset, i did not have an offset and i still do not have mine. Whats up that? Lol

[NW]

Hey guys! First time poster here. Wanted to share that my refund is currently pending in my bank account. I called my financial institution and they let me know that the release date is 2/22, but because they release a day early, the funds will be available to me on 2/21. (I snapped a pic of my bank account to post as proof but I don’t see how to attach a photo)

I e-filed with Taxact 1/27 and my return was accepted the same day.

I had the PATH message until today.

Today I got the generic “we have received your return and it is currently processing” message. No tax topic info, but all of my info was on the left hand side. I checked my bank account around 7am PST, nothing there.

At 4:30 this afternoon, I checked again just for fun and was pleasantly surprised to see it pending! That’s when I called my bank and was told 2/22 for release!

Have faith and stay patient everyone! We are all struggling with something and need this money for all sorts of reasons. The best news is that IT IS coming!! Good luck and have a great year everyone :)

[Darbie Brown]

Filed and accepted 1/23. Transcript had 0404 and processing date of 2/13. Just got my dd on the bluebird card.

[Nervousbride]

I checked the IRS refund offset number to find that my refund had been offset by $54.70 that was applied to my tax refund on 02/22. My best friend called me today and said she was just checking to see the amount for her pay check and seen the pending deposit for her tax refund as well. Both of our messages on WMR says that it is still being processed. Hopefully the money will be deposited before then. I got to thinking that maybe that is the cushion the IRS gives for the money to post to your within the 5 days since Monday is the holiday, the 22nd would technically be 5 days, IDK….Here’s hoping. Here’s the IRS offset number if anyone needs it 800-304-3107😊

[Jake B.]

Filed and accepted on 2/6

Cant get transcripts due to no credit for verification

Has anyone else that filled on or around this date get their transcripts and mind sharing the processing date they recieved.

I am only seeing info for people that filled on 2/2 at latest.

Thank you

[Relly]

I have seen pending purchases and holds but never a pending deposit on a prepaid card. Ive called the Netspend call center literally minutes befor a deposit and have been told nothing is pending. Deposits get posted immediately. Either way its a waiting game and no one on here can provide any concrete information about when and if you will receive your refund. All the info on here is hearsay based on previous years processing times. At the end of the day, there is nothing we can do to speed this process up. Thank congress for the PATH act.

And stop checking WMR every hour until it kicks you out for the day, you will just go crazy after awhile. Just be patient and wait.

[ThatGirlG]

Anyone getting any movement, ddd, etc. and never received the PATH message?

[Nag]

I have credit union…i see my deposit pending with 2/22 date…hope it clears before then…anyone know if it will?

[Ann]

@chris (800) 304-3107.

[Monique]

Sorry DDD 2/22/17 3 dependents

[Monique]

I checked my bank account i have a pending ach transaction for my tax amount to be deposited 2/22/2017

[LaShada]

I still have yet to see a change. I filed the 3rd and was excepted the 4th. Anyone else who filed around then get their return?
I also don’t have big name bank, mine is a pre-paid card.

[Kourtnee]

Question: Does anyone have a DDD with no 846 code on transcripts, and the “processing message” on WMR?
I filed and accepted on 1/23, I can order both transcripts, PATH message from 1/30-yesterday…..
Now just the “Still processing”
Cycle code: 20170405
Processing date: 2/13/15

[Chris]

whats the offset number?

[Chris]

filed 1/24
accepted 1/24
No bars
cycle 0405
EIC

hoping for deposit tomorrow, im coaching 2 softball teams and daughters need gear

[Ann]

i just called offset line and my offset has been paid from my refund scheduled 2/22. I have EIC AND still have received and processing message.l on Wmr. I bank with Chase so I won’t receive it until 2/22 but at least I know its approve with DDD. I filed 1/26 accepted 1/26 path message was 1/28. Hope this helps

[Dsquared83]

I’m not sure…..I have only seen it 1 day before. Those people probably called their banks because a bank can see it i believe 5 days in advance.

[That guy thats watching you]

According from what I’ve seen all over the Web, a lot of people have gotten their refunds, even the people that have the child tax, and according to these people they have the money but WMR still says processing. So hopefully most of you should have money tomorrow or early next week

[Relly]

Most prepaid debit cards will not show “pending” transactions like a traditional bank account, It will just post. I have a Netspend card which posts deposits faster than most banks and I never see anything “pending” its just there.

[duncan]

Danielle @dsquared83 im sure they meant they werent processing “refunds” until feb 15th, but they were processing “returns”.

on another note, ive noticed a lot of people refer to getting their refund back as their return back…when they really mean their refund.

how do these people see in their online banking that a deposit is pending for the 22nd???? ive never seen any bank show pending except 1 day before.

[Mare Mares Mom]

I have a pending deposit of 2/22 through FSNB(I will see it 2/20) I filed and was accepted 1/24 with TT-PATH 1/28-Account/Return Trans 1/28-weekly 0405-updated to “being processed this morning”

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan

I just had a thought. If they were not processing returns until the 15th like they told me, then how is it my return was pulled for verification and then put back into the process pile on the 14th? They had to be processing returns before the 15th

[Pj]

Anyone else file through taxAct?

Filed and accepted 1/23
Then path message until 16th
Now just same old processing

Filed taxAct had fees deducted than return to Amex serve card. Anyone else in same boat?

[David P]

Anyone else file with h and r block and get a text saying your deposit date is almost? But no dd on wmr?

[Shwa]

Has anyone updated on SBTPG and Pending deposit? We never answer this question year after year…

[mashpotato]

I filed with Hand R Block 1/13/17 EITC, Got accepted 1/17/2017 got the path message 2/06/17 that fell off today 2/16/2017 and I got the message ” your return has been received and is being processed.” Can’t pull transcript as I have no credit card, loans out etc.. so That is all I have, nothing else no money, no projected date… still waiting for it to be deposited on my emerald card .. H and R Block website has nothing pending in my account.. So I’m on the boat with everyone else.. HELP! FUSTRATED! DATES ARE EVERY WHERE 15TH, 16TH, 18TH THE 27TH, THE FIRST 2 WEEKS OF MARCH!!! I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE!

[Dain100x]

Anyone that’s gotten their refund already using emerald card?

[Frootloop]

Filed 1/15 accepted 1/17. 1/22 path act msg. Both actc and eic. Yesterday processing msg. I bank with chase bank. What do you guys think?

[Relly]

More than likely your refund will post before WMR even updates.

[Relly]

Just got off the phone with an agent at the Treasury about some offsets and he gave me a backdoor number to call the IRS with almost no hold time. I called the IRS to find out about the offset to them she told me I own about 200 bucks that it will be taken off the top and my return was already processed. She said if you can order both transcripts without any error messages then you return has already been processed and that WMR is slow to update and that my refund should arrive any day now. just a waiting game at this point .So within the next 5 to 7 days is a realistic target. I filed on 1/30.

[That guy thats watching you]

@Aaron,
the thing is no one on here has seen any approval.. me personally, i dont care, i know the IRS drags their feet every year on tax returns and this new PATH is retarded. I use this site to get a general idea on what is going on and when i could see my money, (hell i gotta buy a new fridge) hopefully we’ll see an update tomorrow, i filed mine Feb 1st as well as my taxes being accepted. Hopefully ill see my money next week, if not it will suck but just have to wait..

[Unicorns & Nomes]

ANYONE – who filed on/around 01/12 seeing their PENDING DEPOSITS? On the Turbo Tax Forum and other forums, I’m seeing peeps who FILED around January 18 (even into) February 2 SEEING their pending refunds. But, I haven’t see any as far back as 01/12 yet see their refunds. Thanks guys :o)

[UncleSam69]

@christie

Its where you owe money to anything that has to do with any goverment thing. Like i owed mine for over payment of unemployement benefits. Or so they said. You can have an offset for taxes, benefits e.g. food stamps insurance etc. Any thing from a federal state or local government office.

[Lenette Williams]

Got a text about 3 hours ago that my refund was available on my Brinks Mastercard…..wmr never updated….i knew my ddd was 2/22 because of the offset hotline said my offset was due to come out of my refund on the 22nd

Filed & accepted on the 22nd, path message & today wmr updated to generic received & processing message…..So the moneys on the way guys….check your accounts!

[Mallory]

Hers did not go through tpg since there were no fees, but she has the processing message still like the rest of us.

[Mallory]

I did my sister’s taxes right before I did mine, both filed and accepted 1/24 theough turbo tax with both credits and her sirect deposit just hit her netspend account at 3 pm pacific time, she no fees taken out! There is hope!

[D]

@MALLORY

Did she ever get an update on SBTG site?

[Mallory]

Update, I did my sisters taxes right before I did mine, we were both filed and accepted 1/24. With cycle date of 20170405 and both had both credits but she had no fees taken out, filed though turbo tax deposited to netspend and her deposit just hit her netspend account at 3:03p.m. Things are moving!

[jovi]

@aaron thank you for the insight. I also got a 2/22 date from the irs but still no dd. Called the treasury and they have not got it yet so I guess I will just keep waiting lol. Congrats everyone who has received theirs. Hopefully I will be in that same boat with you tomorrow.

[Doug]

My full refund is pending with an expected post date of 2/22/17 (Wed). My WMR tool still reads the same:

“We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

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.”

I know it seems out of the ordinary for the bank to have a pending transaction sit that long but I think this is because the IRS began releasing the ACH files yesterday with a specific deposit date on it. So it seems like the bank (mine is a credit union) was on time putting it into their system but they probably cannot release and hard post it until the deposit date indicated by the IRS. So I will assume that overnight tonight I will see WMR tool update and give me a projected deposit date of 2/22.

Hope this helps some of you. Just call your bank or look online to see if it is pending because I’m pretty sure nothing on WMR will change until after midnight.

[D]

Did anyone on here getting deposits not get an update on SBTG? if that was the bank it came through?

[Alicia]

Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let everyone know that my refund just hit my serve account at 3:36pst.
I filed and was accepted 1/30 with PATH effect credits.
WMR. Still reflects the ” received and processing” message which only changed to that this morning after having PATH message since 2/10.

So, they’re coming! Don’t let the rumors and negativity worry you. Up until the moment I received it, i had been checking the offset line, IRS2GO, and Where’s my refund lol.
And BAM! The refund hit when I clearly expected to be waiting until at least 2/22!!!!

Again, Serve never holds deposits.. So a lot of you should be seeing deposits tomorrow am!!!!
Forget where’s my refund, it literally hasn’t updated to effect my refund for years.. Only after I receive it.

Good luck everyone!!!! Thank you for yet another year of support during the tax panic!!! 💗💗💗💗😀😀😀😀😀👏👏👏👏

[Josh]

Just got my dd (awesome) good luck to everyone

@duncan I deal with Members 1st Credit Union

[catherine]

[Christie]

What is an offset ?

[UncleSam69]

I just wanted everyone to know i had an offset for mine, but i have just received my refund about an hour ago. Thanks

[ash]

What time of day should i be looking to see for deposits or is it random times?

[duncan]

most all banks u can see a deposit listed as pending the day it hits, then the next day it nonlonger says pending… never seen anything online where it shows something pending 6 days out.

those people seeing a pending of the 22nd at their bank may be checking the bank their refund is going to first to take out their pay by refund option, then its forwarded to their real bank.

not sure,,,, maybe these people will explain in more detail.

[Aaron]

I’m afraid I may be opening myself up to a never ending barrage of comments from people, but I work as a Data Transcriber for the IRS out of Kansas City, MO. Part of my role is to review flagged returns to see what steps, if any, need to be taken before they can be processed.

I cannot vouch for any specific individuals who voice their experiences on this forum, but I can confirm that taxpayers who claimed EIC/ACTC who have already been approved (which is a very high % of people who were accepted by 2/4) will see DD projections of 2/20-2/24 when the WMR? portal is updated early AM this Saturday. It’s also true that depending on the financial institution you bank with, that you could see your deposit pending since 2/16 and even receive your deposit on 2/17.

Yes, 2/27 is a padded date to try and eliminate thousands of repetitious calls tying up call centers that are also serving inquiries by taxpayers who were informed they needed to call to provide further information, etc. Just know that hundreds of millions of dollars have already left the treasury and are in transit.

The public relations department of the IRS takes several steps to ensure a consistent message is delivered to taxpayers, so if you are actually able to ease past the scripted responses you are receiving, and being told a deposit is projected for 2/22, I think you should believe them, as they are going outside the bounds of protocol because they, I don’t know, morally disagree with keeping people in the dark?

I see practically everyone on here going silent this Saturday because you will have been provided with a date (if you filed by 2/4). For all of you who see this as a shit show this year because of PATH ACT, you are absolutely right, on your side and on the side of the IRS. Not well managed at all.

[duncan]

pumpkin how does your bank see a pending deposit that far in advance???

what bank?

[Jennifer]

Someone please let me know how to see pending deposits at my bank…First National Bank. I have on line banking but don’t see anything like that. Do I have to speak to a live person and have them check? Just called the IRS and it didn’t even sound like a real agent! I’ve worked in call centers and I’m positive she was reading from a script! Didn’t sound very knowledgeable at all! Told me to count 21 days from my filing date, 2/1. I asked about the 15th and she said that didn’t matter since my 21st day fell after the 15th. I’m so confused and a little irritated. Happy for all of you that have received info. If anyone can give me a suggestion I haven’t tried, I’d appreciate it. Can’t order transcripts either. Pointless to order by mail at this point. I’m stressing.

[duncan]

can everyone put in the date they filed and date accepted when they get their refund

[Pumpkin]

Just checked my bank and it is pending refund for the 2/22..

[TiffanyFinder]

My refund was just deposited into my account 7 minutes ago. See you all next year!!!

[Shwa]

We go through this year after year and it remains unanswered, so here I go to try my luck again:

Has anyone that has pending deposits, see an update on SBTPG? Everyone that gets their deposits seem to vanish after their announcement lol 😂

[Kit0kat2009]

Are you getting dates on wmr? Or??

My path message is gone.. Now I have new message!! So exciting!

Called spoke to an agent who said 27.. However she was nice enough to make sure nothing was wrong..

[Pumpkin]

What does cycle 20170402 mean on my account transcript?

[Kayla]

Just wanted to let everyone know I just checked my account again and I have a pending deposit scheduled to be available on 2/22!! :D

[Tiffany]

Filed and accepted 1/28 EIC and ACTC
Path message of doom since 2/1
Just saw my refund has been sent to bank and is dated 2/22!!!! But just seeing the pending amount is AWESOME!! Good luck everyone the money is coming!

[Monique]

What’s most annoying about all of this is that I ALWAYS file my tax return early, if not before the IRS officially opens for the tax season. As a civil servant we tend to receive our W-2s electronically and early. So, I filed on 1/18/17 and it was accepted on the 19th. I only checked Where’s my refund once because I was are of the PATH Act and how it would affect my refund. I did not start checking WMR until about a week ago. I had the standard PATH Act message that most who claimed the EITC or ACTC. Yesterday morning, my message changed to say that the IRS has my return and it’s being processed. Does the old trick of checking the schedule/cycle work for cases like those of us who’s refund has been held for weeks at a time? Who actually has a “processed” and/or “approved” message that shows bar action and/or a DD date?

[Unicorns & Nomes]

I am seeing the same thing reported on the Turbo Tax forum – NetSpend cards are being deposited and the WMR still stuck on “processing”. GOOD LUCK ALL!

[Unicorns & Nomes]

@Anya

Apologies but just wanted to ask…so your bank said they “see a pending deposit” or did you get that “pending deposit” info from the IRS? There were two posts and I wasn’t sure so fig I better ask.

[Carrie]

@nessa cycle code is the week folloowed by the day of the week so for example
mine is 0605 (IRS does not count the 1st week of the year) so this week is the 6th week and 05 is the the day, their weeks start on Thurs(01) and end on Wed(05), Sat and Sunday do not count!

[JH2017]

@Bobbie S Mawyer

When did they file/get accepted?

[Bobbie S Mawyer]

My roommate just received an email that her direct deposit was sent to her netspend card. She has EIC and also has the processing message on WMR.

[Anthony]

called the IRS spoke to a man he’d gave me a ddd FBI 2/22/17

[Anthony]

called the IRS spoke to a man he’d gave me a ddd FBI 2/22/17

[R4ce]

My thoughts are that a LOT of us with EIC and/or ACTC will be getting DD before the 27th. They aren’t going to want to try to run all of them at once. So I think we will see them scattered out between now and then. Just my thoughts, nothing concrete to prove this.

[Anya]

Filed 1/18 accepted 1/19 EIC WMR says processing. Had called yesterday and there were no pending deposits. There’s definitely some progress happening

[Anya]

Just called my credit union and the refund is scheduled to be in my account on the 22nd!! :)

[Money_Someday_Maybe??]

@Nessa

You want the dates off of your account transcript, not return transcript. The only use I have found for the return transcript is to confirm the return (not refund, return) was processed, as it doesn’t show until processing is done.

[Money_Someday_Maybe??]

@Kaitlin

My processed date last year was 2-29-16, but money was in my account 2-18-16, which goes against your theory of processing date being DD date. Sorry.

[duncan]

the average combined eic/actc refund amount is >3k and can be upwards of 7k so thats why everyone is looking forward to the eic and/or actc refund.

[Advise]

*please forgive this non-tax related comment* but feel compelled to share this…I initially came on here to read both others experiences, hear what the IRS was “reporting” although I fully know there may only be part truth as well as get updates on others refunds.

I’m appalled to read all of the back and forth and it makes me sad. So I thought maybe I could help…

My suggestion (and ONLY a suggestion): if you don’t care for or agree with a particular comment, skip over it to the next.

We are ALL in the same boat. And I’m angry and sad for us because we ALL need it (it doesn’t matter WHAT we need it for – we need it…) but tearing each other down only creates and makes us appear more weak. Please choose to UNITE people!

[UncleSam69]

@Nessa

I apologize but because I don’t have a credit card or a mortgage or any of the things they ask for for the online transcripts I can’t view my transcripts online and I really don’t see a point in ordering them through the mail at this point.

I hope that helps at least a little bit but probably not since I didn’t give a cycle date. Sorry LOL

[Relly]

Joint return with EITC, CTC filed & Accepted: 1/30
PATH message from 2/2 until this morning, now WMR says ” Return still processing…”

I was able to order both return and account transcripts for me and the wife online last week but I have to get them through snail mail because the online system couldn’t verify our cell phone accounts.

According to the Treasury offset hotline, I have a few state tax offsets from NY, NJ, NC which I’m aware of but I know they don’t equal the total refund amount. My concern is hearing about people calling the offset hotline and getting actual refund dates and dollar amounts. But when I call it just says possible offset and it does not give me any refund dates or dollar amounts. I’m not even attempting to call the IRS hotline to be told to call back because of high call volume. Im just waiting on the transcripts to come in the mail, so far I haven’t received any IRS correspondence at all. My grandmother always said No news is good news, but IDK.

Any intelligent Input is welcome…

[me1234]

My fees will be taken out and they can not see what it will be after deducted and also mine is a emerald card. Not my bank. My message on IRS says processing after path act vanished. The IRS website gives me no info so I have hope. Went through a divorce worked my butt off and really need it fast.I was left with a crazy car payment as a co singer for my ex and he got it impounded. I really disrespect the welfare comments as I have not go anything from any welfare or even food stamps and I could use them but because I work I get no help. So yes some people work their asses off and get crap pay and were not expecting to be left alone with kids to feed while their ex goes and leaves for some toothless girl.No child support no welfare of any kind so before people judge why dont u think. Oh and welfare goes by gross income so some of the tax money is included in what they base me getting no help on. If I say on my ass to play the system I would get help. I worked all year making a whole 20,000 and used to 60,000 a year and no taxes. So before u judge people think.

[UncleSam69]

Hi there, I called the treasury offset program where i still owed a little money to South Carolina from where they overpaid us benefits and it says that 217 dollars of your refund was applied on February 22nd so I’m thinking it’s going to be the 22nd.

[Nessa]

Some people are saying that their DDD is tomorrow. Would be nice to wake up to that.

How do I read cycle date: I heard its Year/Weeks from the start of the IRS season/and Day in the week?

Is that correct? Just trying to figure out what a cycle date of 20170405 means. I think it means a DDD of 2/23 (I may very well have no idea what I am talking about fyi loloololol)

Can any of you with a DDD from offset system share your cycle date listed on your transcript

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan
I didn’t I was just excited my return was back to normal. From what I understand though it’s random, but nothing is stopping me from believing that it’s because I was in review last year because of those missing forms I didn’t know about.

[Casey]

With a vast amount of people being told that the 27th will be DDD, let’s hope that’s the worst case scenario date. Maybe we will receive money before then. Think positive people.

[duncan]

danielle did u ask them why u were selected to verify?

or do u have a guess why u were chosen?

do u claim ur own kids or do they have different last names?

[Dsquared83]

@Nessa

Thanks for that info I had a feeling 9 weeks was the worse case scenario, so I guess its just the real wait time for me now lol.

I’m assuming the account transcript I ordered a couple days ago will come to me blank since I know what I know now.

[Nessa]

@Dsquared Last year mine was pulled for verification and re-sequenced. I received my return 9 days after verification. I also know someone who received theirs within two weeks of verification as well. 9 weeks I believe is the standard answer in case there are further issues.

[duncan]

just type in id verification into the search box, it brings up threads related to that and some mention 9 weeks some say less.

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan
I thought so too that is why I kept calling. Most of these reps I talk to just give me that crap well since you claimed those credits that is the issue. At least this time I got someone that actually looked into my account. I’m hoping that the 9 weeks is just worse case scenario and I really don’t have to wait that long.

[duncan]

Dsquared – i thought something was different about yours since you never got the path act message after so long. at least its good to go now!

Heather, f you are seeing this message now, after previous seeing the path act message it most likely means your return is processed and you are just waiting for your return to be released.

We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

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.

[Dsquared83]

I just called the IRS and they said that I guess they pulled it for verification and he said that the case is already closed they recieved the verification they needed, so basically they put it back in sequence and now I have to wait 9 weeks for my refund. I remember seeing that someone else had to go through a verification and was told 9 weeks to. Im assuming 9 weeks is the worse case scenario and it wont actually take 9 weeks? I can’t find the post otherwise I would not ask again.

[HEATHER]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN???? AM I UNDER INVESTIGATION OR SOMETHING???

We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

[me1234]

@momof4 I filed on the 27 and they accepted it that night. Some banks can not see pending amounts but I used Emerald card. She swears I will have the money .

[Jessica]

Well I filed since I have claim DIC excetera and at first I received the past message and then today I received at the IRS is processing my refunds. So when I check on H&R Block it said congratulations your refund has been processed and accepted there just waiting to load my funds.

[Lauren]

I lol’d @ free money.
The govt loans money off working people the entire year to pay for services. The average person pays about 31% of their working check annually towards different taxes. For me thats more than 10k. I am getting maybe a fraction of that back.
It is literally your money they are returning to you and you should feel like you deserve it as soon as possible. If it was the feds on the other end of it they would demand the money immediately.

[Kayla]

I just spoke with my bank. No pending deposits yet. Filed 1/13, accepted 1/13 with both credits. Transcript shows code 846(refund issued) with 03-06-2017 date.

[momof4inco]

I called the offset line this morning, found out we owed $XX to Colorado that we didn’t know about. Anyway, they said they took it out of our refund dated 2/22. With the holiday on Monday, I don’t know if I’ll see it on Tuesday or possibly tomorrow. It’s usually two days early because our bank (USAA) doesn’t hold funds. Really hoping for tomorrow!

At least there’s movement. This PATH thing has been annoying. I filed 1/21, accepted 1/23 with ACTC.

[duncan]

me1234 what date did you file, when was your return accepted?

[Johnny Blaze]

@me1234 that will only work if funds are going straight to your bank, not for ppl who have to pay fees

[me1234]

People u r not listening to me. Forget the transcripts forget all of this crap. Call your cards or banks !!!!!! They can see future deposits and release dates. Mine says the same crap on IRS website. My card holder can see a pending deposit for the 17th. Try it and u will be happy. The IRS will not say crap until we already have the first round for security and hacking reasons. Call your banks or cards to see pending deposits!!!

[Finalllyyyyyy]

I don’t have any codes or transcripts. I’m still awaiting them in the mail. I called and told them that I had the path message and it now says it’s processing. I was placed on hold for about 5 mins and was told my DD. 18008290582 ext 652.

[`Dan]

Gratz @Finalllyyyyyy !

[Nessa]

TO THE FOLKS WITH THE OFFSET AND DD DATE OF 2/22
please share what your cycle date says on your transcript and processing date if possible.

I only wish i had a one dollar offset so i could know my date too. lololol

[Finalllyyyyyy]

I called the IRS a few moments ago and was given a DDD of 2/22.

Filed 1/23
Accepted 1/23
Awaiting both credits as well.

[emanuel ruiz]

BREAKING NEWS: I have an offset this year and I just called the offset phone number 800-304-3107 and it said that my offset has been paid in the amount of $ on February 22, 2017. So it looks like Next wednesday DDD will be sent out. I have both credits, filed 28th, accepted 31st, had the path message sine 2/4/2017, this morning WMR updated and I no longer had the path message and had processing message. Hope this helps anyone.

[ThatGirlG]

I filed and was accepted on 2/2. I never received the PATH message, just the default received and processing message – which is still showing. I was able to order account transcript today, but it shows no return filed.

[Lenejaia]

Filed and accepted on 1/23……filed eic & actc…..same kids since they were born ages 13 & 18….but i digress

Had the path message this entire time, but this morning i got the generic “we’ve received your refund but its still processing” 😡

I called the offset line because i knew i didnt file my state taxes 2 years ago (but last year i filed & received a refund….go figure) so i figured they might be looking for their $300……anywho when i call the message says we’ve found 1 offset for the Louisiana Dept of revenue and it will be taken out of federal refund deposit scheduled on 2/22…….not happy about the offset, but in all honesty that my fault for being so careless, but glad to get a deposit date

Anyone that has an offset call this number 1-800-304-3107 and see if you can get your date. Good luck guys!

[Mike]

Anyone have an I’d verify case with an actual ddd time line after you verify instead of 9 weeks? I just did it today I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a few days to a week but wanted to get some other opinions! Thanks!

[Kitskycat]

Info update at http://www.savingtoinvest.com read a little bit while waiting for moolah. Good luck all.

[Brandi]

@ Carrie, that’s incorrect. My processed by date was 2/13 and i definitely don’t have the money

[Audrey]

Okay. I filed on 1\30, accepted on 11\31 had 1 bar until the 10th. Then it went to the path act until this morning. It says being processed. WELL first off they said it will be the 15th, then they say no it is the 16th no wait the 18th, then they say 21 days from it being accepted which is the 21st, then they change it to the week of the 27th which that week only has 3 days for the month of Feb. Well someone said they used their transcript from last year to compare to this year and in fact the processing date is your dd day. Well that can not be true cause If it processed and you do not get your dd then how can it be true. Just confused really bad cause IRS keeps changing the dates. Someone also said do not expect to get anything before the week of the 27th if you have the path act and since there is only 28 days in Feb they just say the week of because they do not want you to be upset if you do not get it until March. But last year I did not get my taxes until the end of April and some one I know did not get hers until mid October. So what is really going on I am a mother of 4 and a soon to be grandmother and I have been filing taxes for 19 years and the last 14 years nothing has changed. All I can say is maybe they have to recheck all your taxes to see what matches up because people with EIC are filing other peoples kids but to keep changing the dates is just crazy. People are also getting scammers calling them I had one call me telling me to go to lowes and go to cvs to get cards and they would not hang up so they could direct me what to do. saying I owe the IRS from 2010-2014 and I owe 7000.00 Then when they redirected me to what they called a officer that was going to arrest me take my license and my house I thought hhmmmm so he asked what did Mr. so and so tell you that you owed. I thought a minute I said 9000 dollars he said yes I see it right here. They wanted me to get a itunes card from irs and get some target cards and split the money up on each card and get into my car and scratch off back of each card and give them the number. Okay whatever. So i watched some videos about scammers and this one guy was on phone with a scammer and he played along and when he told the man he was full of it and called him some names the man from Pacistan said go make relations with your dog and he said he blew up our tower and the man that they got for that was his father. It scared me pretty bad. So I believe I understand why IRS is being so picky but please stop changing dates.

[Carrie]

OK so YEARs ago I worked 2 years for Jackson Hewitt. So I don’t remember all the stuff I used too. I luckil got in touch with my old boss who has been doing taxes for 20+ years! I asked him about the processing dates etc. He said the processing date on transcripts is the “processed by date” so that is the date you will get your return by, but in MOST cases you get it well befoe then. ALSO if you speak to the IRS and they say they just began to process PATH returns on 2/15 this is a half truth. There are two process’ when it comes to Tax Season the Return and the Refund Process. IF you are able to order your transcripts your RETURN has been processed. The started processing the PATH REFUNDS beginning yesterday. Things will process at a fairly quick pace over the next 2 weeks he said. batched of refunds will be released each day, just be patient.

[Shwa]

Guys keep in mind that people can create multiple usernames and even comment without email so you never know who’s trolling. So the comment about reading the tax law and the breakdown of how it all works on the IRS website is gold advice. I can tell by how some of these comments are coming in that this may be happening as some of the original trouble makers have vanish since last Friday and now we are getting flooding with more disrespect. I even saw one guy complain about a moderator deleting his comments that another person said under a different name! Man people are cookooo!!!!!

[Nessa]

@Dono Chrump You are literally on a refund forum used to share experiences complaining. Why are you here? Do you have nothing in life to do except come to this forum and insult people? Are you a professional internet troll? Do you need therapy? Maybe there’s a therapist in the house here that can assist you with your manic depressive state of mind.

[Kendra]

Kaitlin my process was 2/13 and I didn’t get a DD,so how are you sure of that date?

[Nessa]

@Kaitlin I do believe you are on to something though because last year i got my refund sometime mid June and I just checked the processing date for that year and it states June 13. So maybe I will see mine any day now since my processing date says for this new return is 2/13…i will definitely update this thread if that happens

[Nessa]

@Kaitlin

I received a processing date of 02/13/2017… I havent seen anything yet, but maybe its coming soon.

[dono chrump]

@Candice J well its because you’re low income…easily mislead and lied to. just look at these forums you’ve all been lying to each other for years about how the IRS handles returns. yall need to crack open the tax code and look for the information you’re seeking and read it straight from the law books and not the paid call centers you flood with petty questions.

[Kaitlin]

I just wanted to give an accurate update. I checked my Account transcript from last year compared to this year and the processing date is indeed the direct deposit date. I got a processing date of Feb. 20, 2017 (but will probably not get it until the 21st due to Holiday) hope that clears up a lot of questions. Your processing date on your return transcript is you DD date!

[JSH2017]

@Jeanette Forcada

I’m sorry …. ‘Free Money’? I am well-educated and I cannot wrap my head around that logic. Most of us on here are simply looking for solidarity and to be able to unload our neurosis with others in the same or similar situations. The only annoying or out-of-place thing on here is people such as yourself who feel the need to make rude, judgmental comments, which have zero value. We all obviously know nothing we say on here is going to change anything or make it go any faster but it is an outlet. So if you don’t have anything helpful or nice to say, please go away… also, your comment and weak comparison regarding the ‘welfare check’ was rude and insulting. Move on.

[Shwa]

That’s a disturbing message if true. But as far as how can they get away with it? Most people don’t know the the IRS is ran by the federal reserve. The federal reserve (the folks that keep printing dollars basically) is ran by an offshore bank. Alan Greenspan, one of the former chairs told congress they don’t have to listen or adhere to our laws because they print our money. This is why some say JFK was killed, because he was the last period to audit them. Ron and Rand Paul are trying to audit the fed now. Just a brief history lesson. This is 100% fact (about the chairman, and the Fed). The federal reserve was givien the name federal as a way to make people accept our money was being printed by an offshore entity. It’s unconstitutional, this illegal to have a foreign entity create our currency. So in essence it’s no more federal than federal express. There’s a witty cartoon movie that explains all of this and where they came from in about 40min. It’s called the American Dream Cartoon on YouTube. Highly recommend you all watch it while we wait. Be advised though, itmay make you very angry…

[Renae]

@Nessa
Remittance would mean a payment due. Hmmm no answers here. Sorry! You might get answers by calling.

[Jeanette Forcada]

We are getting basically free money. And everyone is upset about waiting longer. Feb 18th wmr will update again. Its like people being mad they have to work for thier welfare check.

[Mike]

Just wondering what questions they ask and what they ask for when you call to verify. All myself stuff is in storage in my fire box and really don’t want to have to pull it out! Hahaha

[Nessa]

Hi Everyone. Im a little confuse trying to read my refund transcript. i have both the EITC and ACTC on my return with two dependents. I filed 1/9 and it was accepted 1/13. My current WMR status says processing with no date just like many of you.

My refund transcript states:
Cycle Posted 20170405
Received Date April 15, 2017
Remittance: $0.00

What does this mean? Is it good, bad, ugly ???
Glad if any of you can help.

[Renae]

Maybe there’s some truth to what the supervisor said if processing is done at different regional locations. Because yesterday the returns were running last in last out which was a oops. So is there a centralized location or regional? Does anyone know? Or maybe he’s been on vacation and out of loop 😅

[Moises]

Well heres a sort of an update yesterday my path message popped up, as of today i was able to order both account and return for 2016. So things are moving along. We are almost there everyone.

[duncan]

Thanks for the update Candice.

[Zero Cool]

@Candice J… You were probably lied to also… How can they catch tax fraud from early fillers if they don’t process the returns??? It’s all done by a computer now a days. these folks on the phone are only telling you half truths. Tons of people have proof that their returns have been processed, so your tax rep is full of it.

[Renae]

My consensus is that everyone will update to dd for 2/22. Because 846 codes with 03/06/2017 across the cycles board. Refunds have been released to reserve clearinghouse. Do you think that since Monday is the holiday that early deposit on tomorrow will occur for dd 2/22? I’m not familiar with banking practices. Anyone? Ideas? Or are we counting on Tuesday to see deposits?

[Dsquared83]

More than likely because they don’t want to have to pay more interest to us than they legally have to. Last year when I was in review I didn’t get my refund till June and they only paid me $48 and some change in interest.

[Candice J]

I literally just got off the phone with Mr. Diaz (who is the accounts manager) at IRS. He ADMITTED that the IRS website has false info about the PATH ACT. He said that the IRS didn’t even begin to process eitc refunds until yesterday, Feb 15th. He said no one got a refund yesterday. They DID NOT release refunds yesterday. They just started to process those. He SAID NO ONE WILL HAVE A REFUND UNTIL AT LEAST THE 27TH OF FEB. OMG! He could do nothing but apologize for the false info on the website, stating “I CANNOT believe that they said they were releasing funds already. They just started to process those returns yesterday.” Why does the IRS get away with lying to millions of LOW INCOME Americans!

[duncan]

imagine how much fighting there would be if everyone here was stuck on some deserted island together.. would make for a good reality show. LOL

[me1234]

Ok everyone I to had the path act I to need my money fast. I am a single mother hanging by a thread with no support. I called Hand R block. My message there is different then the IRS website. IRS went from Path act to processing. Talked to a rep and she swears IRS is putting my money on the 17th. No clue if they are right or wrong. They say the message is from the IRS. It says The IRS has completed processing my return and they would text when funds are available. IRS website says processing .

[duncan]

Lauren can you copy/paste exactly the message your WMR status page says?

[Miranda]

Hello all, I filed my taxes on 1/9 and got accepted on 1/13. I checked where’s my refund this morning and got the generic text. I checked my tax transcript and it shows processing date of 02/13 and my 846 has the amount on it. I have an issue date of 03-06-2017. I checked to see aga6820-8191inst my bank account when did the money deposit and it’s about 12 days before it is released.

[Renae]

@anthony
Transcripts updated today with the 846. So if you got it by Mail then you won’t see it. You will have to pull it today to see the update.

[Renae]

I think everyone is getting a 2/22 dd. Which is why the holiday was mentioned. But if most can get refunds 2 days ahead , does that mean we will start seeing funds in accounts tomorrow since Mon the 20th is a federal holiday? I’m not familiar with banking practices.

[Doug]

All these attitudes are hillarious!! lmfao

[Dsquared83]

I’m still missing bars, but still have all my info to the left….still showing processing and still topic 152. Seems like we’re getting just a few more days at every turn.

[Lauren]

I was able to get account transcript and return transcript and it states refund will be processed on 2/27. Cycle date 20170605. The Where’s My Refund site still says DELAYED. Why wouldn’t that have updated yet?

[Doug]

Check out the last paragraph on this irs.gov page.

https://www.irs.gov/individuals/refund-timing

It says…

“Where’s My Refund will be updated with projected deposit dates for early EITC and ACTC refund filers a few days after Feb. 15. Taxpayers will not see a refund date on Where’s My Refund ‎or through their software packages until then.”

So it looks like we are all waiting a couple more days

[duncan]

https://www.auditdetective.com/Transaction_Code_Definitions.html

576 Refund held for review Unallowable Tax Hold Generated by TC 150 with a Credit Balance and Unallowable Tax. Holds the Unallowable Tax to the extent of the Credit Bal-ance in suspense. Freezes the amount of the TC 576 from refund and offset out. Resequence all Debit transactions including generated Doc. Code 34 debits and transfer in (TC 370) except TC 667 & 896. (This amount has not been assessed).

[`Dan]

@Jerry182 That would be…NOT exactly what she was told.said. Let me try and break it down another way, alright?

You know how they’ve said MOST filers will have their returns within 21 days every year in the past? It’s sort of like their buffer in case things get busy, they screw up, or something random happens.

The 27th is sort of the same thing for PATHers. They began releasing funds yesterday for some folk, depending on WHEN you filed ands WHAT you claimed….this is confirmed. Once the funds are RELEASED a few other things have to happen depending on your return. Some people had funds taken out to PAY for the filing process. A LOT of those people can see the institutions bank has received the return, or is in the PROCESS of receiving the funds so they CAN take out their payment and push the return back to the original recipients bank.

In short, the 27th is the deadline they’ve set for themselves to give them cushion and set a “call deadline” for people to call in asking “wtf is my refund”? I Hope this clarifies things a little bit. None of it is opinionated, it’s all factual. People already have DDD’s for the 22nd, I BELIEVE some people will see cash this week, but that’s just a best guess. *shrug* Can’t help but throw in one of those.

[kent]

Anybody else get a TC 576 on their transcript? I received 2/3 of my refund yesterday but 1/3 is being held for review for the 576. I assume this is tied to ACTC? Have not received any letter.

[Lauren]

@kayla I sincerely hope they aren’t planning to wait until March to deposit your money. Thats some BS. lol

[Jerry182]

I was told EXACTLY what you were told Tasha. That returns with those credits will only start being processed on 02/15 though I was told most early filers would have a refund before 02/27

[`Dan]

@Tasha You explicitly stated those with the EITC won’t be receiving their returns until the 27th. This is a blatant lie, in most cased. I merely corrected you with confirmed resources. I understand you’re upset about not having your money, and about being called out on it, but I think you’ll be okay. I’ll politely decline your invitation to play in traffic and continue to correct erroneous information posted to the masses. I hope your day goes well and you get your new iPhone soon!

[duncan]

@will-i-am

the only update/change to the wmr message appeared at midnight.

my wmr status has always changed by 1230 am eastern, the last three changes i have seen.

some people say the update happens at 330-6am eastern, but i have seen anything new at that time.

[Tasha]

@ Dan

Question? Do you work for the IRS? If not, stfu! I said what I said and this is the answer that I have been getting from different reps. I ordered my transcripts both of them and it still does not change the fact that we do not have our money. So @dan please go play in traffic and stop being so damn critical unless you have a magic wand that will magically give everyone their money. Good day!

[`Dan]

@Tasha Sharing information is great, but when your spreading INCORRECT information it causes confusion and poor communication. If you want to share information, that’ awesome! Just make sure it’s accurate first.

[Tasha]

@Dan

This is a forum that we all share a bit of information that we have gathered to help each other. You could have kept your negative ass comment to your damn self. So stop the BS, who are you to say that the person on the other end of the phone was a temp. Whether you like the answer or not, or whether the person is a temp or not we still dont have our money.

[`Dan]

@Tasha Stop listening to temp employees. People already have DDD’s for the 22nd. That’s the week prior.

[Kayla]

I filed my tax return on the Jan 13th and accepted same day with both credits. Until today, I was stuck with the PATH message and now it says the same thing as everyone else’s: “Processing”. I went and downloaded my transcript and it has Cycle code 0402 processing date: 2-13-17. My transactions show code 846 with date: 03-06-17.

What does the cycle code mean and where the heck is my money?

[Tasha]

I just got off the phone with an IRS agent and he stated that returns with those credits have just started to be processed on 2/15/17. He also stated that we should check back after the 18th for a DDD. Returns will not be released until the week of the 27th.

[duncan]

two people said this morning they cant view transcripts online but can only order by mail. i dont know , never tried ordering them myself.

[duncan]

tax topic 152 is gone for mostly everybody now.

[Alexis Jacobson]

How do you check your transcripts online? I can check my status and I filed on the 18th with the eic and i got accepted on the date they started accepting and it is now saying processing. I want to check my transcripts but i only see it saying to get by mail when lots of others are Able to see theirs.

[floridamomma]

My path message changed but i no longer have tax topic 152 underneath it did it disappear for everyone or should i call irs

[brittnabby]

Up until now I was able to look and order my transcripts I woke up to a generic message on the WMR – We have received your tax refund and it is being process. Previously I had the PATH message and could order transcripts. The processing dates on my transcript was 20170505. I am able to order them by mail but it is not allowing me to see them online. Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance.

[HangryinWV]

I wish someone would get something, I’m about to lose all hope. I know its coming but dang this is ridiculous!

[andera]

The IRS’s “Where’s My Refund?” tool will be updated on February 18 for many taxpayers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). Before February 18, some taxpayers may see a projected deposit date or an intermittent message that the IRS is processing their return. Early filers claiming the EITC/ACTC may experience delayed refunds because of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH) Act (P.L. 114-113)

[Antwane Adams]

I am 0505 and I have just different message no 846???

[It’s coming!]

So, just a little info:

Filed 1/24
Audit shows 20170505 and a processing date of February 20th

Today it updated to code 846. Now, mine SHOWS a date of 03/06.

So I went to last year’s audit. It showed a date of 02/29, however, looking through my bank account, I actually received the refund on 02/17 (a Wednesday.)

I strongly suspect with a date of 03/06 *this* year that I will see my actual refund in the bank on 02/22 which is 12 days earlier and also on a Wednesday.

I hope that helps some.

[Christy0111]

My message changed to processing as well. I have a cycle code of 20170404 and a processing date of 02/13/2017. No 846 code yet

[Yd]

@shwa
I’m an 0405 and do not have 846 on my transcripts as of now. All my other codes are good and my wmr did change from path to processing.

[Kristopher]

I filed on 01-13-2017 accepted on 01-14-2017, called IRS yesterday and was told that they just started processing my return, I would have to wait 21 more days to check, I ordered my transcript’s and received both. I had a processing date of 02-13-2017 and 20170405 also. I am really confused, why did they wait so long to start processing HELP!

[Kristopher]

I just called the IRS yesterday and was told that mine was just being processed. I filed on 1-13 accepted on 1-14, Path Act hailed me up to the 15th and now I am just being processed. I have a 20170405 WITH 02-13-2017 processing date, WOW.

[shelley]

Path went away

I got the same message “we have received your refund and it is being processed”

I received state refund last week

I’m so sad…. I really thought I would have my refund this week… but hopefully this change in message is a good thing… I am now hoping for the 27th and if I get it earlier, then that will be awesome!

Good luck everyone… I hope we all get our refunds very soon

[CC]

Good morning
I checked my transcript. Please note, there are so many questions on here that I didn’t get a chance to read if someone askedd this yet.
My processing date says 2/20/17. Is that my ddd?

[Ten1seven]

So two people have said 3/6/2017, and this date is what? Your ddd?? I don’t really understand the whole transcript thing, forgive me.

[Lynn]

I just pulled up my transcript and it now has a 846 Refund issued and 3/6/2017. I have a processing date of 2/20 with a code of 20170505.. it’s funny how when you owe the IRS they pull no stops to get their money, but when they are the ones that owe it’s a waiting game. I understand the why but this has been horrible.

[Angel]

So yeah I’m back to update. That movie was well worth it! – My status has moved from path and tax topic 152 to – “We have received your tax return and it is being processed.” message has appeared. i forgot to say I did my return 1/20. Good luck you guys. Ofc I’ll update if it deposits before I go do other things…

[:)]

I’m cycle code 0605 and got the date 3/6

[karin]

@shwa what about 0603?

[WillBeas]

@Shwa , do you know if WMR will have different update times today? Its been up and its usually down to update at this time..

[Shwa]

For anyone late in the convo, cycle codes 0505, 0405, and 0602 have all received 846 (returns complete) + a change in WMR message.

[Shwa]

*0602

[Irene]

I just checked my account transcripts online. I have code 846- meaning refund issued. I filed 1/18 and accepted 1/19. Had path message. My cycle code is 20170402

[Shwa]

I have confirmed that 0602 is also now receiving transcript updated + new WMR message.

So that’s 0405, 0505, and 0642. Good luck!

[Andrea]

@WillBeas I would like to see it change again. But I’m not counting on it. I’m tired of waiting just like everyone else but not alot that I can do but wait… I was hoping to be able to wake up and maybe see a DDD but no such luck for me!! I am a cycle code of 20170405, had a processing date of 2/13/2017. I didn’t have much stock in my transcript this year due to PATH. My transcipts were complete and not blank, so that was a good thing. Hope others have a more positive turn out today!!

[WillBeas]

That makes me feel better @SHWA
this tax season has me on a rollercoaster.

[MCW]

I’m freaking out that I’m gonna be audited. I claim my two nieces and have for 4 years but I’m afraid because they are my nieces I’ll get flagged. So I really need this to update. ACK! I don’t care if I got to wait til the end of the month as long as I get it!

[Will-I-Am]

@Lesean

Ok I am calm. I told you Im not arguing about this. Your the one fired up.

[Shwa]

I’ve confirmed cycle codes 0505 and 0405 are receiving code 846 on transcripts on the IGMR FB Page. Good luck guys!

[WillBeas]

I dont wanna believe we are not gonna see a different update @Andrea but I think you r correct. WMR is not unavailable as it should be at this time and I got that processing message also now. Just checked

[Shwa]

I’ve just confirmed that cycle Code 20170405 is getting 846 codes on transcripts. Several confirmed on the fb page.

[Nichole]

I filed on January 20, accepted 26, state received 28, federal path message on 28, now they are processing? It’s supposed to be until they have w2 from employer to match income and check fraud….
My w2 was pulled off of turbotax electronically which means the IRS had access to that w2 as of January 13th when I received it!
This is getting a bit ridiculous, I don’t get help all year no state help no child support no foodstamps….. and wait on this to pay medical bills and buy my kids the stuff they need.
There is something else going on with this, another agenda I am sure. I have no non-tax debts but I bet most of you who do will have an offset, due to the time wait.

[Andrea]

The “new message” that everyone is seeing, was mentioned in the press release on the 14th. It says that a ‘vast majority will update on the 18th, a few may see a projected DDD or an INTERMITTENT processing message”. It may change again at 6am EST time but I wouldn’t expect it to. I’m in Ohio and just checked mine and it’s the processing message also. I have EIC and have had the PATH message since the 28th.

[lesean27]

@Will-I-Am

Im not arguing yes we want our money its updating right now as we type. calm down. Just got to the igotmyrefund facebook page and you will see people updated that had the same message we did.

[Will-I-Am]

@Lesean

Did it not change? So it updated to no PATH act. Im not going to argue over this its stupid. We all want are money and we will get it.

[Ashely]

Is anyone elses bars gone now saying your return is being processed ugh i give up smh

[Rotten Teeth are sexy]

if you got audit letter than there is nothing checking wmr will do until that matter is cleared up once you are audited you have to provide the appropriate info before your refund will progress

[Jazmine A.]

Path message gone today and says we have recieved your tax return and is being processed but i got audit letter in mail 02/13/2017. Accepted on 01/18/2017. Claiming same family members for years now and NOW an audit !!!!!!! EIC and ACTC

[Jazmine A.]

Path message gone today and says we have recieved your tax return and is being processed but i got audit letter in mail 02/13/2017. Accepted on 01/18/2017. Claiming same family members for years now and NOW an audit !!!!!!! EIC and ACTC

[Adrian]

Illinois gave me my FOID card in less time than it taking to get my Fed and state refund

[lesean27]

@Will-I-Am

it did not update the path message was designed to do exactly what it did at 12:00am on 1/16. It will update at 3:30am to 6:00am eastern time.

[Will-I-Am]

Ashanti

WMR did update. I no longer have the PATH act. Believe it or not its up to you/

[Dain100x]

@Tina idk what it means exactly only that something has finally changed I’m guessing just one step closer and guessing the next update will come on the 18th with a DDD

[Tina]

So what does it mean when the PATH message disappears to say ” we received your return and the tsk bent processed”? I was able to order account and return transcripts last week.

[Dain100x]

Oh and was able to order both transcripts as well so that’s a good thing I suppose

[Dain100x]

Same. PATH message gone now saying refund is being processed. Some sort of progress I guess. Still not getting my hopes up too high I figure if I expect it for 2/27 maybe I’ll get a nice surprise and it will show up earlier. Fingers crossed

[Alan]

So I found this on the Turbo Tax Website. One of their super users answer a question about the “processing” message 2 years ago. Here it goes…

“Accepted” is just the first step, it means the return has passed a series of simple checks (SSN match, dependent match, a few other things). Accept is, as far as I can tell, fully automatic.

After the return is accepted , it goes into a different process to get reviewed to either pay the refund, or hold for more investigation. That step usually take a couple of weeks.

So everyone that got that message tonight, this could be a very big sign. :)

[DJ]

I’ve updated as well. Went from path to new message. Hmmm. Hopefully that’s a good thing.

[LaShada]

It now says that it has been recieved and being processed. Is that a bad thing? Does it mean they need more information or is it just the step before the DDD? This is so aggravating! O have plans for my money and I know everyone is sick of waiting just like me.

[Mat]

Path message gone says we have received your return is still being processed!

[shinesta]

@strawberries yes thank Obama!! These credits are now PERMANENT! Not temporary. Thank those who were in office for making sure that even though you have to wait longer as long as you qualify you will still get these credits going forward! Do some research before typing and placing blame SMH! I thought this forum was for finding out information not blaming people who actually helped you. Get off your high horse and research before talking! Reading is fundamental!

[Bronson]

I logged in a couple minutes ago, it says that it was recieved and being processed. Granted they had since the 23d to process it that was the point of the whole path act correct to review it longer, any way has anyone received their state refund ?

[Brittany]

Mone updated too and i still have yet to receive my state which I should have gotten Monday! Ugh!

[AM88]

Mine updated too… Waiting for a ddd now….

[AshantiLiam]

how many times do we have to say that wmr doesn’t update until 330-600am not 12 good god.I will wake up in the morning and check after 6am

[danab]

I’m getting the same message. Hopefully a dd will be coming soon.

[Doug]

Same message:

We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

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 expected refund amount and filing status now show up to the left.

[I.Lola]

So havent seen any change as of yet
I filed and was accepted 1/28 i honestly checked the WMR 2/10 and saw one bar taxtopic 152 ….i was able to order my 2016 account transcripts. …does this mean anything ?

[Bwlngchk]

My path messa he updated to…
We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan
That’s interesting. I wonder why that is

[duncan]

clear your browser history/cache/cookies and close and reopen your browser if your message hasn’t updated. it might possibly be a caching issue.. or maybe not, but worth a try.

[Unicorns & Nomes]

@jannieg

Yay for you!!! There’s hope!!! Are you by chance east or west coast?

[duncan]

Danielle I just realized your actually @dsquared83 — which means every time I had put @ your name it went to the person who has the username danielle.. well they probably are getting emails from mentions…

every time you put @duncan i get an email that says you mentioned me.I didn’t realize your screen name doesn’t match your name.. oh well.

[Unicorns & Nomes]

West coast girl and WMR still has PATH and SBTPG still hasn’t received funds.

I filed 01/13 with EITC and CTC (no ACTC). It was “accepted” 01/17. Received the TT email about funds “not hitting until the 27th” same day it was accepted (I’ve noticed other people on the TT forums saying they JUST NOW are getting those emails???? so I don’t know if there is any link to those of us who got it when we got the “accepted” email versus those getting it today).

Here’s my question – because of ALL the website congestion, IS IT POSSIBLE WE’D SEE PENDING DEPOSITS BEFORE WE SEE WMR & SBTPG UPDATE?

[Jannieg]

Hey yall!! Just wanted to say my path message dropped and im now processing with a refund amount. I also have the 20170505 feb 20th transcript. Hope the refund is following real close behind @ :-) :-) :-)

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan
I’m on PC time too. Yep, still 152 topic

[duncan]

It has been updating the last few days between 9:00 – 930PM Pacific time / 12-1230AM eastern. I don’t think it matters where you are. I am located in Pacific time zone.

@Danielle does your message have tax topic 152 below it still?

[Dsquared83]

@Caroline
That’s all I’ve been getting I thought I was waiting for the path message lol

[Aaron]

Accepted 1/25
Cycle Code 20170505

“return accepted and being processed.”

I tried to check my account transcript but it’s down.

[Dsquared83]

Does WMR update based on where you are or is it just based on East coast time? It’s 9:20pm here and I have the same message I’ve been having.

[Carolyn]

Well I take that back, it updated now, well at least its off the path act message- :)

Refund Status Results

We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

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

[duncan]

maybe you need to clear your cache/history/cookies to see the update??

everyone is getting ding sounds for new mail on their iphone with these updates we are posting.

[duncan]

..everyone is on pins and needles. the suspense is heightening.

[Carolyn]

Yep I know it, by 6am EST, I’m going to have checked so many times I’m going to lock myself out of WMR smh. Still have the path act, wait till after the 15th blah blah blah. Mine has always updated around 3am EST anyway sooo

[Me]

My status updated the the “we’ve received your tax return and it is being processed” message. At least there’s some change.

[Melissa]

Just checked wmr. My path act message is gone & I now have a message saying my return is being processed. E filed on 1/26 – accepted same day, eic only.

[duncan]

Same here: Path act is gone it says,

We have received your tax return and it is being processed.

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.

All the info is listed to the left. Did you get this same exact message?

[Cmcozine]

Path Act message is now gone for mine. It now says its been received and being processed with all the info to the left. no bars. No DDD. Hopefully this means my refund will show up soon. At least there is some sort of progress.

[duncan]

The calm before the storm…. there sure was a lot of activity today and now the lull, like the countdown to New Years Eve..

After 9PM Pacific (12:00AM Eastern), we should get some check ins from the west coast and those on the east coast who can’t sleep thinking of their refund.

[Tam]

Right let’s keep blaming. This site in my opinion has gone to the dogs. There are a few helpful personalities but most of you are just rude and disrespectful. Take it elsewhere please

[Strawberries]

I had a processing date of the 11th and now it says the 15th. Like I said before, I don’t think there is a method to figuring it out. Just so everyone can be clear, this was Obama’s fault! Thanks Obama! I’m pretty sure that he did this to piss everyone off 😂 It’s true though lower income do rely on their tax refunds to pay off debt for the year. It’s not anyone’s business why people want their refund lol.. I know I am looking forward to my new iPhone!! Of course everyone is excited to receive a large sum of money.. it’s their money, they earned it, the government just borrowed it from everyone. Again.. thanks Obama 😭

[Somebull]

I am confused. what the hell is a path message

[joslyn]

I think people are confused on what they mean by being processed. Your return can be processed but your refund not be processed the irs told me this. They process both seperatly so while your return my be processed your refund may not be. They probably have processed path returns and now the 15th they are going to process the refunds. My transcript now have a date of the 20th which they didn’t have on there a few days ago. Good luck check wmr tomorrow. It says after the 15

[Amanda]

So… I just want to give some knowledge. I work in a call center enviornment. And when they tell us as reps to tell you somthing. Thats what we tell you. And they tell us to tell you these things for a reason. Usually to avoid a extremely high call volume becuz and extremely high call volume to any call center cost $$$$ the people u are calling are not the people who proccessed your returns they are more than likely sub contracted to a call center. When that call center cant answer calls the lose $$$… So 9/10. These ppl dont know shit and what they do know they know they cant tell you w.e it is. Your money may be released tommrow they still wont tell you. Becuz they have been directed not to. Just some fyi ppl… So u dont waste an hour or more of your life on hold for nothing

[Lauren]

@dono chrump
Jusy fyi….don’t know if you got through yet but you call a different number to id verify, not the regular line you ask questions on! They will jusy tell you to hang up and call the right number.

[John]

I agree with the repeat calls. What one person tells you isn’t going to change the fact we have to wait. This is the unfortunate part of waiting for a sorry government that pads there pocket before the people whom need it

I want my money like the rest of you. If we get it sooner than the 27 awesome after the 27 blow there phones up.

Just and FYI your 21 days started today. That’s why the message was the way it was. The IRS can no longer guarantee your refund in 21 days. FYI.

[dono chrump]

i understand that lauren, been down that road and john i understand that too. idk why people think im being rude lol im just stating facts, sorry if facts are rude and id assume most people posting about the EID would be low income and im trying to help people understand that needless calls specially repeat calls do not help them get anything faster. if this was a verify thread i wouldnt have posted but come on calling several times over the same issue?

[Lauren]

I was trying to let you know that you have to call a different number to id verify, not the number you call to ask questions on. They will make you hang up and call the other number then wait on hold all over again

[John]

@duno CHUMP

Why people are calling is because of there wording.

A new tax law requires the IRS to hold entire refunds of millions of taxpayers until at least Feb. 15. This law, called the PATH Act, contains provisions that help combat tax fraud and may impact approximately 15 million taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. For those who file early, they will have to wait until at least Feb. 15 to get their full refund from the IRS.

While the IRS will release those refunds on February 15, many taxpayers may not see the funds deposit into their banking accounts until the week of February 27. This additional delay could be for many reasons and it is best for taxpayers to check the IRS’s Where’s My Refund website for any funding updates.

This resource guide provides information to help media and consumers understand the impact of the PATH Act.

No where in the law does it say after 15th. I clearly states until the 15th.

IRS uses these dates of the 18 and 27 to tone down the call ins. The real agents aren’t answering these calls. There temps in a call center that are trained to do this. My friends mom is an IRS agent. So chill out. If you don’t like people venting don’t post. Or don’t get on.

Whether people are lying or telling the truth it at least give some people some hope. Especially the low income families that depend on this.

[Lauren]

Lol, they are moderating my comment. Maybe because I accidentally wrote the presidents name…..

[Lauren]

Im sorry! I got your name wrong. I meant @dono chrump, lol.

[HANNAH]

Let’s not feed him you guys. This thread was getting good info. Let’s not let one person’s bad attitude ruin it for the rest of us
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[dono chrump]

@Doug IT IS NOT THEIR JOB TO ANSWER A QUESTION TO WHICH YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER

[dono chrump]

@HANNAH no im not having a bad day but think about it, people calling in about this issue is holding people up who really have to attend to serious return problems. maybe yall dont understand this but being on hold 3 hours to ID verify was extremely annoying and people are calling up several times asking about the SAME issue. its redundant

[Doug]

@DONO

TAKING TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY? IT’S THEIR JOB, BRO. IT’S WHAT THERE PAID TO DO.

[dono chrump]

why dont i have to post? i literally just answered the big question on this thread? i also have the path hold too. @Deminitis

[HANNAH]

@dono chrump

Sounds like your the one having the bad day….geez…

[duncan]

If you see the Path act then its safe to assume your return has been processed and you are just waiting for the big release. Some people like @Danielle lost their orange progress bar and it just says processing and never received the Path act message, so those people probably have some sort of hold up.

[Deminitis]

Duno Chrump – you don’t have to post!

[Lauren]

Do you guys really think they haven’t even processed our returns yet?? Or do you think they are just saying a generic message?

[dono chrump]

listen you people are literally flooding the workers making these calls when the msg clearly states check AFTER FEB 15TH, you’re literally taking time out of their day by calling in and asking them about this issue.

it only makes sense that if they know you have these path credits, then theyve processed your paperwork. think about it.

be patient and let the extortionists do their job, it could be worse, you could have to do the whole ID verify stuff, last time i had to i didnt get it back until sep/20th of that year. i had completly forgotten about it until i got a text about money being loaded on to a debit card that i had thrown in to my dresser. so stop bugging these people because you’re wasting your time.

theyre literally telling you different stories because they dont want to waste their time on callers who CANT READ. so they give you the default return date >feb/27th and those who did get more info got lucky they found someone who wasnt having a bad/long day

[Carrie]

Ok, here is what I am seeing after reading hundreds of posts over he last 2 weeks. If you call the IRS they will tell you the 27th NO MATTER WHAT. They have to do that. SO if there are any issues with your return/deposit etc they are covered. Also once you can see your transcipt (online or via snail mail) and see your cycle date. Your cycle date tends to line up with WHEN you should or should have gotten your return. Mine is 0605 IRS weeks start on Friday so the 5th day of the 6th week would be tomorrow( IF I am right) Most people with PATH will get their refunde before the 27th unless they are flagged ,resequenced or have some other issue. Try not to stress. The IRS can be a pain but this is their first year dealing with the PATH act too so they are trying to work out the kinks I am sure.

It seems that most IRS Agents give mixed answers bu the 27th stays the same. So jsut be patient.

[duncan]

Kit0kat2009 when you called and they said your refund is on hold, did you ask them why it was on hold? Or did you ask them if the hold is related to the Path act?

Don’t know about state ID verify, also it’s probably different for each state.

[duncan]

Who will be checking the WMR site at midnight eastern time tonight?

[Alisha0015]

I filed 1/27 with H&R Block and it was accepted the same day. On 2/2 thats when my bar disappeared and the PATH act started showing up. And it still there as of today . But i did get my state refund early last week. I just order my transcript and it was accepted. I hope my bar comes back tomorrow like they said.

[WillBeas]

Definitely in need of a 🍺 and some 🚬..haha, relaxation here I come..

[Angel]

I don’t really care about getting my money today or any day for that- I care more about the lack of knowledge that we are getting. I mean when path notice came up I was like okay fine and forgot about it for an entire month. Now that the deadline is here I come back and it’s the same – wow. I wish they would have updated WMR today so people don’t have to worry or bother calling the IRS to get some lame answer that we already know. I have a headache from the 15 different responses I’ve seen today (no one’s phone call matches except three people who got reps that said we will get it before 27th). I am just going to take it like this- EIC/ACTC will get their money at some point this month or beginning of next (well according to someone else our 9-21 days started today), WMR will update tmr to tell us this (so our waiting period just started today), And we all have to find something else to distract us better than waiting on the gov’t to fork over our cash. I’m going to watch a movie to release my mind from this. If anything different happens, then I’ll be the first one to tell everyone instead of the people who got their refund already and according to the ppl on facebook are currently out at the mall shopping lol.

[DON HAS THE ANSWER]

This is what I am going to do. I am going to get drunk then wake up and I’m sure there will be a new message tomorrow. And then it will be over just like every year. So let’s all relax and have a beer!!!!! See you in the morning.

[Jennifer]

I just called the IRS and spoke with someone who said they are being informed to people that they should not expect to see it until the 27th, but this does not necessarily mean it will take that long. She she because I filed mine before the 23rd of January, I should expect an update on the IRS website by tomorrow. She said that it could be released by tomorrow, but it’s all up to the banks when we will receive them. The woman tried to tell me that all banks take about 10 days to process them. I called H&R Block and the representative said that because I have an Emerald card it is supposed to be same-day direct deposit, but that she can’t be 100% certain because they also use a bank. So my advice here would be to contact your banks and find out how long they take to process these things.

[WillBeas]

The 27th is BS, again they are stating this to stop you all from calling but yet everyone keeps doing it…I have owed the Feds in previous years and they confiscate my State return also.

I just rec’d my State return unexpectedly today, so this means my Fed is processed and approved or I wouldn’t have got my State. PERIOD..

Filed 02/02

[Kit0kat2009]

Sooo. I’m pretty happy about the agent I just spoke with. He was awesome.

Filed 2/4 with Jackson Hewitt
Lost bars and got path message around the 8th.

I was worried because 3 years in a row I was selected to ID Verify. I called hoping to get info.. He was awesome no bs. Said I didn’t have any flags for anything but my refund is on hold?

I assume it’s being held because of Path.. So that doesn’t bother me. However the weight he took off my shoulders by just telling me everything else was fine. I wish all agents could be so helpful.

It’s not a Ddd but it’s still some relief.

Meanwhile my state did get ID flag! Any idea how long that takes?

[Genie]

Just called the IRS number listed a few posts down and she looked into my account. Said there is no scheduled deposit date and that I’m still being processed. She said I will see the deposit before the 27th and to check everyday on WMR bla bla. Forgot to ask about it going to Santa Barbara bank, but I don’t think it will since I paid for my tax filing fees already. Such a bummer. Another week or more. I will be waiting to hear about the decrease is fraud! This waiting game with our money better be for the greater good, not just for a scare tactic toward thieves. I personally, don’t appreciate being treated as though my family and financial health doesn’t matter. I’m at the mercy of the government, I have no say. “Go ahead, do what you feel is necessary. We don’t rely on our tax refunds each year to support our families and take care of all things we otherwise can’t afford.” Its just “paperwork” to the goverment, its “livelihood” to us!

[Brittine]

I spoke with someone at the Irs few minutes ago and they stated that the returns are just now starting to get processed today is there any truth to this i filed 1/23 accepted 1/23 few days later got path act message and still have it and she also said it is starting the 21 day process today

[415415]

filed 1/5 accepted 1/12 ordered both transcripts and no holds path message 0405 cycle both credits 2/13 process date………..no deposit or change…………….called irs………………I was told that my refund hasn’t even finished processing yet………………then I was politely told to wait until around 2/27………………..this is just what I was personally told by the irs

[duncan]

the only clear recurring confident answer from the irs is that u should expect ur refund by feb 27th.

the number for the irs is listed to the right on this page under the phone icon.

the direct deposit will be made directly to ur account unless u chose to pay for ur return out of your refund in which case it will go to whatever bank that ur filing company partners with as the escrow company. ur filing company will get its fee and then the escrow company will deposit the rest into the account u provided. call ur filing company if u elected to do that for more details.

[D Sheidy]

I learned that if you are able to order your tax transcript for 2016, your return has been processed. Done. You just have to wait now for patiently for the deposit into your account.

[chris]

I just spoke to a rep who wasn’t much help and wouldn’t even look into my refund status to see if it had been processed yet, he said the IRS will begin sending out refunds for people who fall under the PATH act tomorrow but also said most will fall under the feb27th date…I have a cycle code of 20170405, so I’m hopi g for this week and I filed 1/24…if anyone has any better luck with info let me know

@tom I filed 1/26 accepted 1/26 have had path act on wmr just spoke to a IRS rep that told me the path act hold was removed today but I was still processing not approved??? I told him I have both my transcripts ordered shouldn’t I be down processing and he said you are still processing and “should” see your funds by 2/23-2/25???? Please help me to understand this , thank you!

[Genie]

Does anyone know if all or just certain refunds go through SBTPG (Santa Barbara bank) I have checked the site a few times to see if my refund has been sent to them but no account found. One person posted something about whether or not we paid out of pocket to file our taxes or had the fees come out of the refund, would be the determining factor?? Its the magic day for me too, EIC & ACTC and test batch (accepted 1/13) . I think a lot of us will see our returns on Friday the 17th. The date of the 27th that we’re seeing is, in my opinion, a worst case scenario because some banks take a few days to process your direct deposit and the 20th is a holiday. My bank is fast, if its there, I will know. Good luck.

[Mzbeautyqueen]

I need a live rep can anyone give me the IRS number?

[AngelaMarie]

I just spoke with IRS I also have the path act still showing on wmr I filed 1/26 accepted 1/26 IRS told me path act hold has now been removed and refund is finishing processing that I should see my funds 2/23/-2/25 .

[J101]

my fiance’s return:

child credits, multiple w2s

filed and accepted 2/9
no bars and path notice: today
no fees to be taken out, turbotax
able to order account and return transcripts today.

my return:
child credits , multiple w2s
one bar, no path
sbptg shows expected amount, turbo tax
not able to order transcripts

[Dsquared83]

That tells me that they have already processed everyone with these credits and what the rep told me on the phone about everyone starting to get processed now is BS.

From what I understand if you have no bars or anything except a tax topic you are under review, but if you have no bars and your info is still on the left side of the screen your still in the running. Anyone heard of that?

[Anthony]

Now for giggles I called back and got a different person I got it for Mr. Moreland he said the text returns with the earni and additional child tax credit have not even begun to be in process until today he said around the 27th through the third is when we’ll see money bull shot

[Jessica]

I spoke to someone at the IRS today and she said, the the vast majority of folks with the PATH message have already been approved and are being sent out but motto expect anything till the 27th! She said that if you are under review or anything like that you would have already been notified by mail!!

[Anthony]

I just got off the phone with a lady at the IRS she told me they are manually reviewing the taxes with the earn income credit and additional child text credit

[duncan]

@danielle

if you call again can u ask them if yours has been resequenced and also ask them why you have no path message when most people on here do.

[duncan]

If you have the Path measage then my feeling is that your return has been processed and your refund will hit sometime in the next two weeks, but probably sooner.

My feeling for those who don’t see the path message within a few days of filing or have been stuck on processing for a week+, then your return is flagged for further review, id verification or an audit.

[katkathyhryn Martinez]

Okay so I just talked to an IRS agent she looked up all my information and she told me that everything looked perfectly fine that I was just on hold because of the path act what does that mean am I done can they still take my taxes for anything that I or did they find nothing because that’s what it sounds like to me they found nothing thank you if anybody can answer this

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan

Actually I haven’t. I just assumed that it’s what Carrie101 said yesterday. The early filers tend to get resequenced multiple times. The rep told me check 2morrow, so I guess I will check 2morrow.

[duncan]

Have you ever asked them why most other people show the path act but yours doesn’t?

[Dsquared83]

I just called and the rep said they barley just started processing the returns with thone credits on there today, so she asked me if I checked the WMR site I told her yes, but there’s no bars and she said it’s because they just started processing the returns. I told her I looked at the path act and it says they will release the refunds on the 15th nothing about they were not gunna process any of them till the 15th, but she said none of them will start getting processed till today. I’m thinking it’s just an early filer thing though.

[R4ce]

There are so many things that are just wrong about how they are handling the PATH act returns. First of all, they have had this extra time to catch up since they could only take these returns so far. There should be no we are behind whining this year. Second. why the f#%k would it take almost 2 more damn weeks for these returns to be deposited? That makes absolutely zero sense.

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan

You’d think they would have told me that yesterday when I called. I guess I could call again. I’ll check those links out thanks

[duncan]

@Danielle

Did you lose your progress bars? Maybe yours is hung up because it’s flagged for ID verification. Either that or some type of review related to the audit last year.

Not sure, but you can read these threads and see if it sounds similar.

I called yesterday since I filed the 22nd and accepted the 23rd and all they told me was that it would start processing today, so who knows what’s going on.

[duncan]

Kimberly, I filed 2/8 and got the PATH message 2/11. Call the IRS and let us know what they say.

[Johnny Blaze]

So there are multiple reports that we still not be seeing any refunds until the the week of the 27th. IRS, Turbo-tax, HR Block and most other financial institutions are all posting the same thing. I think it is kind of unfair to get people’s hopes up with “inside information” Until i see somebody with an actual pending deposit, all of these cycle codes and dates are really just speculation at this point. Trying to create our answers when one has been repeatedly given to us.

[kimberly]

I filed on 2/1 and wmr still says received with no path message, my sister filed after me and has the path message. If I have no path message is that a bad thing or does it just mean that they are still processing.

[Lacy]

I decided to check and see if I could order my transcripts and I can order both. Is it possible some of ours are done but cannot be sent until after the 15th? In my personal experience I cannot order either until I have finished processing.

[lesean27]

they made a statement saying they will not update until the 16th and the 18th
this statement is from 2/13/2017

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service today reminded taxpayers that the next couple of weeks, especially around Presidents’ Day, marks the busiest time of year for IRS toll-free phone services. Taxpayers can avoid the rush by getting answers to their questions on IRS.gov.
The IRS will be issuing an “Avoid the Rush” series of news releases that provide tips related to the most common questions asked by taxpayers during the February peak.
The IRS will staff its toll-free telephone service Saturday, Feb. 18, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., callers’ local time, and Monday, Feb. 20, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., callers’ local time.
To save time and find answers faster, taxpayers should make IRS.gov their first stop. A good place to start is the IRS Services Guide for a quick overview of online services and resources. IRS information and some tools are also in Spanish.
Here are some reasons people call the IRS as well as faster and easier ways to get answers on IRS.gov:
Where’s My Refund?
The IRS issues more than 90 percent of refunds in less than 21 days. IRS representatives cannot provide individual refund information before then. Taxpayers can easily find information about their refund by using the “Where’s My Refund? tool. It’s available on IRS.gov and on the mobile app, IRS2Go. “Where’s My Refund?” provides taxpayers with the most up-to-date information available.
“Where’s My Refund?” Begins Updating Feb. 16 for EITC and ACTC Filers
By law, the IRS must hold Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit refunds until Feb. 15. Taxpayers will begin to see refunds claiming EITC/ACTC the week of Feb. 27. “Where’s My Refund?” will update for EITC/ACTC refunds beginning Feb. 16, with the vast majority updating by Feb. 18.

[Keesy76]

@Heather

I really think or would like to think that a good majority of people should be having money deposited by Friday the 17th because if they start sending no way out today. Why would it take that long to be deposited to the person’s account. Any bank that takes that long to drop money in someones account, I personally wouldn’t deal with. Luckily I deal and do business with a bank that releases the money to me as soon as it is received however they only drop deposits I do belive three times a day. I work for feds and I get paid 3 to 4 days early. End of month check comes four days early. Long story short, if they send out today then some people should see deposits by friday.

[Keesy76]

@an , I don’t k ow why some people keep saying they won’t be sending money out until after the 15th. If you look at the IRS link it clearly shows, that they started reading funds as of today the 15th of February 17. I dot know what order they are going g but I’m sure they will be working hard and focusing on the Path situation. For all of you that think differ, funds are being sent out as of today. If you have a bank that doesn’t sit on your money then alot of you should have deposits anyway now, I’m sure alot will be deposited by Friday the 17th. Yes the holiday unfortunately is going to hold some people up. Sucks right! It does not take that long for the IRS to blast the deposits to the Federal Reserve turns around and blast the deposits to the bank accounts. So it won’t be long. Every year I have received my deposit before WMR has updated to sent. Be cool everybody I know it’s been a long wait because people deserve to have their money and shouldn’t be put off because they are claiming a credit they clearly qualify for. If it was the other way around the irs would be calling and threatening the tax payer. I’m not going to fully blame them for this being this was a Congress move that was made law. But keep in mind that somebody had to be I. Congress ear for them to propose such a law! Ok people be patient it’s coming.

[`Dan]

[HEATHER]

SO TO CLEAR THINGS UP:

IT WILL ACTUALLY CHANGE ON FEB. 16 IF THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM??

AND EVEN STILL YOU WONT SEE ANY MONEY UNTIL THE WEEK OF FEB 27TH???

[Tisha]

I filed 1/4 accepted 1/12 had one bar a few days later… then the processing message. around 1/25 I got the PATH act message … this morning WMR was unavailable…and now I’m back at the PATH act message… Patiently waiting still

[JonnyTombstone]

The IRS will start releasing funds today Feb. 15, 2017..

https://www.irs.gov/uac/newsroom/irs-answers-common-early-tax-season-refund-questions-and-addresses-surrounding-myths

Myth 5.
By law, the IRS cannot issue refunds before Feb. 15 for any tax return claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). The IRS must hold the entire refund, not just the part related to the EITC or ACTC. The IRS will begin to release these refunds starting Feb. 15.
These refunds likely won’t arrive in bank accounts or on debit cards until the week of Feb. 27. This is true as long as there is no additional review of the tax return required and the taxpayer chose direct deposit. Banking and financial systems need time to process deposits, which can take several days.

[serena90]

Hi everyone, nothing on the website for me. This sucks. I have a question, if your able to order your account and return trascripts, does that mean there done with or what?

[Lx]

It also says don’t expect your institution to start releasing funds until the week of the 27th.

[Casey]

Let’s hope they begin releasing refunds for Eic after the 15!!!

[Lainey]

Just to clear some things up. I filed my return on the 23rd and my return has been processed. How do I know? Because if you are able to order your REFUND TRANSCRIPT not account transcript but your refund one than your return has been processed however they wont guarantee a date of release or rush the process any faster. So yes there is a trick anf if you can order your tax refund transcript than yours is finished processing just not yet released. So considering I filed on opening day that did not influence any delays. I still have the PATH ACT message however I know they are just holding my refund due to laws. Order your refund transcript itll bring peace of mind. However will not get it to you any sooner.

[BBest]

So, I don’t understand these “charts’ that have the projected date of your direct deposit. What I mean the first column usually is the date you filed. Umm, Is this the date the IRS accepted the return or what date do we use if we are being held hostage by the PATH thing. This blanket “holding” of funds is suspect. For the last 10 years, I filed using H&R Block’s software, never had a problem, got the EIC and ATC , still have the same two dependents , just 1 minor child left, but my point is , I CLAIM THE SAME THING EVERY YEAR. I get there are people who are frauds out there and they need to be caught, but on behalf of the legitimate claimers, I think they should have been able to look at our past returns & if all matches up to previous years, they should have just issued the refunds.Thank you for allowing me to vent!

[Me2]

An that is wrong. They’ve already been accepted and processed. if you read the Path law it just says they can’t release the money until the 15th. Smh…

[lesean27]

The IRS made a statement the other day that it will not update until the 16th and the 18th.

[an]

after feb 15th not today. and since they are only pretty much accepting after the 15th it will be another week people calm down

[Kay]

FEB 15 and I’m showing the same PATH msg not a single update. I filed on 1/25 was accepted 1 hour later… I was hoping that the IRS send deposits out today and update tomorrow showing Friday 2/17 as my deposit date. I am exactly 21 days in today. Does anyone know if the 21 days is going to go beyond that.

[duncan]

path act still also.

[Camila]

And here we go it’s FEB 15 and same PATH msg remains since it says AFTER I’m guessing sometime between the next 2 weeks I just wish that i can have peace of mind that it’s been approved, processed etc but every year brings a new set of shenanigans 🙃 We are almost there hang on a few more days

I’ve filed through TT for the past 12 years – never had a problem (TT checks for things that may flag my returns due to errors or missing info)… I have always gotten my FED within 10/14 days DD into my bank account. I figure once they release the returns held due to EIC/PATH – we’ll get our refunds within a week to a week and a half.

I will admit that I still stress until I see it in my account. I’m hoping my state is deposited this week. One less thing to think about.

We can keep our fingers crossed and think positive thoughts. :)

[Strawberries]

Duncan and everyone else who keeps saying that the early tax refunds will be accepted first.. this year is pretty different from any year because they have started new methods of security. There is not a line and early filers I doubt will be getting anything sooner.. in fact the IRS says that there is no method to find out this year who is getting their taxes back first. I filed after The week they started accepting returns. I have a processing date before a lot of people on here 2/11/2017 that said they filed early or mid January.. and my cycle date is 20170405. So I really don’t see that there is any method to figuring this out. Honestly, it’s a waiting game.

[Carrie101]

@DANIELLE, the main glitch I have seen for early filers and those who file on opening date are being resequenced multiple times, resulting in long delays. Oftentimes you will see people who don’t file till about a week after opening day and they usually are processed much more quickly than those who are stuck in the flood gates at the very beginning. It’s definitely something to keep in mind for the future.

[Unicorns & Nomes]

Has anyone ever seen their actual refund BEFORE the SBTPG updates? I filed 01/12, approved 01/13 WITH EIC and CTC (no ACTC). Have had PATH message since 01/15. I know that I must wait for the WMR update but I was REALLY hoping maybe I’d be in the first round of funds released. I did use Turbo Tax (have for the past 4 years). I ALWAYS have received my refund BEFORE WMR updates. Usually, I never make it past the first bar. Last year, welllllll after I got my refund (for giggles) I went onto the WMR site and it still NEVER processed (at that point my money was long gone too) so I put no faith into what tomorrow brings for the WMR site. This was the FIRST year I’d ever heard of SBTPG so have no history/experience. What have others experienced with it?

[Kris]

Via IRS Newswire
“Where’s My Refund?” will be updated Feb. 18 for the vast majority of early filers who claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. Before Feb. 18, some taxpayers may see a projected date or a message that the IRS is processing their return.
By law, the IRS is required to hold EITC and ACTC refunds until Feb. 15. However, taxpayers may not see those refunds until the week of Feb. 27. Due to differing timeframes with financial institutions, weekends and the Presidents Day holiday, these refunds likely will not start arriving in bank accounts or on debit cards until the week of Feb. 27 — if there are no processing issues with the tax return and the taxpayer chose direct deposit.
The IRS phone assistors do not have additional information on refund dates beyond what taxpayers have access to on “Where’s My Refund?”. Given high call volumes, taxpayers should not call unless directed to do so by the refund tool. In addition, a common myth is that people can get their refund date earlier by ordering a tax transcript. There is no such “secret” option to find a refund date by calling the IRS or ordering a transcript; just check “Where’s My Refund?” once a day.

@Danielle

I would call again and talk to someone else at the IRS, because you’ll get a different person and might get a different answer. Worth a try.

[duncan]

S U R V E Y:

Would you consider yourself to be anxious/worrier/obsessive in general about most things in your life… or is it just the tax refund that you are concerned about?

[duncan]

@Danielle I never tried to order my transcripts. The IRS can audit you as frequently as they want I imagine. It may be that they just want extra time to review yours, due to your previous year audit.

[Dsquared83]

@Carrie101
I filed on the 22nd, but accepted the 23rd, but I understand what your saying. What kind of delays like missing or glitches? I will keep that in mind next year.

[Carrie101]

A for those who filed 1/23, unfortunately that was opening day and the IRS is notorious for having delays with those who file on opening day. For future reference, next year you might want to wait a few days after opening day to file. Of course those of us who filed on 1/26 have our own problems, as we all are aware, LOL try not to file on a Thursday or Friday because that could put you on a weekly status. I’m just saying. The wait is almost over! Hang in there guys!

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan I get your taxes are being processed and wI’ll be updated when available with topic 152. I ordered my account transcript the other day, but still can’t order my refund transcript.

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan

I was audited last year because I never recieved tax forms from EDD so I didn’t include them and I had to go through tax advocate and everything. Im hoping that’s not happening again. I can’t get audited twice in a row right?

[duncan]

@Danielle what message do you see on the site if you have no bars?

[Carrie101]

@Carrie, just wondering how many times you checked the offset line? I know with the IRS they get kind of fussy if people check more than three times within twenty-four hours, which can trigger that message online. I am thinking that might be the case for you right now, even though you are receiving this message over the phone. If you can wait 24 hours to check I would do so. However if you think there’s a chance that you do have an offset you might want to call and try to get through to a human to give you some answers. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I hope it’s nothing serious.

[duncan]

@Danielle

Yes it sounds like yours is still being processed/reviewed. Not sure why you aren’t seeing the Path message since you filed before me and mine showed up on Feb 11th.

[sunglaze]

I also filed on 1/23 and accepted on 1/23 I called yesterday and she said it was still being processed. I have heard that a lot of people that filed on 1/23 are still being processed. Maybe we will get some good news soon.

[johnaria]

I am part of the path so I understand the earliest date to see anything is tomorrow. My question is I’ve seen several people call to see if they need to verify anything and they do end up needing to. I was wondering if I should call? On my transcripts I got the codes 150, 806, 766 and 768. Is there a reason to call if all the codes are normal? Did these people have different codes on there transcripts? I have not received a letter in the mail and I filed 1/19.

[duncan]

Deanna. You are experiencing the same thing as me. I have the Path act. I imagine the status will change on WMR on Feb 16th for most people. We’ll have to wait and see.

[Deanna]

I filed 1/17 accepted 1/19 and have nothing more than a path message..what should I expect?

[Dsquared83]

@Duncan

Most people that have filed after me are getting path messages. My bars disappeared and I’m still getting the 152 topic, so I guess it’s safe to assume mine hasn’t been processed in guess.

[duncan]

I think most returns are being processed within about 3 days of acceptance. It is just that they are not releasing refunds until 2/15. It sounds like the refunds will be in batches first in/first out, so those who filed earliest may see their refunds this week.

See the refund chart: https://igotmyrefund.com/irs-e-file-refund-cycle-chart-2017/

[Dsquared83]

@kitskycat

I just called and she said mine is still being processed and they will let me know when available, so I guess mine hasn’t been processed even though I filed on the 22nd and accepted on the 23rd.

[Dsquared83]

I just got off the phone with the IRS and theven uy said that they got my taxes and that they were processed, but it won’t fully process till the 15th and that I should wait at least till the 27th to call back. He didn’t say if there were any problems. I told him my bars disappeared and all he said was he hears that alot. I guess that was a waste of time cuz he only said what I already knew.

[RJ]

I don’t know what to think, honestly. I spoke with 2 different reps at the IRS today that told me that the PATH refunds arent even being processed until tomorrow. That makes no sense to me. I just want to know if im approved or not.

[Vanessa]

@ellie I was able to order both my transcripts but had to order them by mail. Did that on Saturday hoping will get refund before they come in

[TheWaitIsReal]

@duncan

Only thing I can think is you are green because you registered on the website

I am black because I did not

[duncan]

Anyone know why on this thread, some people’s username’s are green clickable links and some are black?

[Erica]

Fiancé’s return was accepted on the 25th, and he had to call today because we used the wrong account for direct deposit so the agent said he should be getting money in a few days but could not give him an exact date..So we are getting closer early filers!!

[duncan]

Filed online 8/8 accepted a few hours later.

WMR site said can’t find my info until 8/10 when it shows one orange bar and return received.

8/11 it shows Path Act with 152 tax topic below.

[Kitskycat]

Well I tried something different so I hope I am right. I called the 800 hotline for refund update. Usually in the past when I called she would always say “your return is being processed and a date will be provided at that time.” Well this time after entering all info she said the IRS has received your return but due to the PATH law no refunds will be released til after the 15th. That to me was a great sign. So call the telephone hotline and check it out and see what her response is after you enter your info I am sure if you are not processed or there is a hold up she will tell you the being processed message. Just a time killer so try that too. Good luck all.

[Kdiggzz]

Wtf wmr it saids can’t find my refund my path act message gone is tht a good thing?? On mines and my GF

[Carrie]

HELP! Called the offset line and it usually says “you have no non tax debts” . Now it says “the information you requested is currently unavailable ” should I worry? @tom @willbeas @carrie101

[Alyssa]

I was able to get into order my transcripts with my new address, before I wasn’t able too. I get into it, but I still cannot order transcripts for 2016. I’ve never been able to order mine until after I received my return, and I’ve also never had WMR update until after my funds were pending in my bank account. I still have 1 bar & the path message. I claimed the EITC credit, wasn’t eligible for the ACTC. I guess tomorrow many of us will find out what is next, I hope I do too, because in the past I’ve seen that only 1/2 update & the other 1/2 just have to wait & hope.

[Sherry]

@lacyjae…..I wish I still had the number to give you that I had to call before taxes were intercepted to make a payment arrangements. Once I did that then the full amount was given to me. They sent me a letter to let me know what was going to happen and I jumped right on it. I know it’s something fiscal that was on the letter and a number. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help

[LacyJae]

I just found out that I have a Federal tax debt that is going to be offset this year. I am able to order my transcripts and everything but they don’t show an offset code….. Will the IRS update these again with my offset before my DDD is issued?

[Ellie]

@Vanessa.

I filed the30th was accepted the 30th. No DDD.

My prediction wmr crashes on the 15th ….we wait longer to just know the DDD.

[Vanessa]

Has anyone filed on 1/30 and accepted on 1/31 gotten any dd yet?

[Bobbie S Mawyer]

@Anthony did you get an answer? I too have processing date of the 13th but my cycle code of 20170405

[MizuSeirei]

@IIRS Insider My cycle code is 20170405. According to your post, when would I get my refund if my processing date is 2/13?

[Dee]

Where are the codes located? I just have path message with topic 152.

[`Dan]

@MomOf4 NOBODY with the credits has a DDD. If they say they do, they’re telling a bold faced lie.

[MomOf4]

Has anyone gotten a DDD? I saw some people saying they have a DDD of 2/15 in other forums, but just wanting to see if anyone with EIC for ACTC had one yet.

[Tom]

@When Will I Update?

150 & 766 acknowledges that you filed
768 I believe is Earned Income Credit

[Carrie101]

@Jerseygirl02, I agree. I think it is like a lot of people have said; the IRS will give people a “worst case scenario” date, just to avoid a barrage of angry phone calls if the refund doesn’t go through earlier. It seems most people tend to get their refunds well before the estimated date provided by the IRS. Of course, we have no clue how that will play out this year. We are mighty close to finding out though. Let’s hope for the best and brace ourselves for the worst. :)

[Carrie101]

Sorry for the double post.

[Kit0kat2009]

Confused!! I ordered my return transcript by mail yesterday. Today I tried to order the account transcript and it said there wasn’t one available. . I got the path message no bars 2 days ago tax topic 152.. info on the side minus the return amount..

Really ticks me off.

[Jerseygirl02]

@Carrie I too had cycle code 20160505 and processing date of 02/22/2016 last year and received my refund on 01/09/2016. This year I have cycle code 20170505 and processing date of 02/20/2017. I have come to think that the processing dates don’t really mean anything.

Hope we all get our refunds released sometime this week! 👼

[When will i Update?]

Tom,
What does code 150,768, and 766 mean?

[Tom]

Cycle codes are on the transcripts

[Anthony]

@ irs insider my code was 20170404 Wells Fargo don’t hold deposit in I didn’t get any money today ????

[TiffJaye]

Question.. How did everyone see the cycle codes? Did you have to order transcripts?
thank you all for any help :)

[Courtney89]

20170505 is my code. So 2/20/17 should be my DDD? If so that sucks I was accepted 1/24/17. Would of been nice to be in 15th batch.

[Dsquared83]

My bars disappeared and still have the 152 topic, but I was audited last year……Can I be audited again? urgh

[Ten1seven]

Both my transcripts were approved 2/6, I updated to path on 2/8 and decided to order my transcripts 2/8 just to see what my cycle numbers were. I got my account transcript first. Account. And it’s blank. BLANK. Wth. Fml. Smh and all them other three letters you wanna come up with. 😭

[amber russell]

FILED 1/23/2017 ACCEPTED 1/23/2017 cycle code 20170405 processing date 02/13/2017 if you do not have Path Message or no bars you may get an identity letter to verify otherwise everyone else on Path this is our week of updates.. getting impatient myself and I prepare taxes

[Kitskycat]

Brittany

I filed 2/2 and accepted 2/2
Updated to one bar and 152 topic
On 2/11 updated to Path message with 152 topic only. I believe I am done processing and about to receive DDD date this week. If you update to Path with codes you are processed but still have work to do. Only code 152 and I believe you are done. Just my thought.

[When will i Update?]

Meant to say Carrie101.

[When will i Update?]

Carrie11,
Can u tell me what codes 150, 768, 766 mean?

[Dsquared83]

Are cycle dates the same for each person every year?

[Carrie]

OK I noticed some people saying they have a process date on 2/13. Well looking at last years transcripts said my processing date was 2/22/2016 cycle date 20160505 and I got my refund 2/10/2016. This year I have a processing date of 2/27/2017 cycle date of 20170605 So any thoughts anyone? Seems my refund should be released this week 15-17th.

@tom

[spicerak]

So if i have the path act message and topic 152 is that pretty much mean i am approved?

[WillBeas]

Filed 02/02
PathAct 02/11

[Dsquared83]

@Brittany

I filed 1/22 and accepted 1/23 and have not received a path message yet. I’m not sure how long it takes to receive that message

[Brittany]

Hey tommy how about don’t reply if you clearly have no answer. The IRS doesn’t take turns hun it was a question you should really find something to do rather then be rude to people on a website that has a question lol I wanted to know how long it took to get a path message I didn’t say why don’t I have a DDD. Anyways so if anyone knows how long t took for the path message to show it would be greatly appreciated:)

[IRS INSIDER]

The refunds will be released in three batches, 1st on the 13th, 2nd on the 20th, and last on the 27th. Cycle codes 04 = 13th, 05= 20th, and 06 = 27th. As Tom said, it depends on your financial institution after that date when you actually get your money in your account. you heard it here first! SHHHH!!! I may get first if I am discovered.

[Tommy]

Filed and accept 1/17 still have nothing and there are people who say they filed 2/6 like @Brittany wondering about shit. Sit the hell down and wait your turn!

[Brittany]

I filed and was accepted on 2/6/17 with EITC .My WMR still only says received bar and that their processing it. Does anyone else not have the PATH message like me yet?

[Dsquared83]

I’m curious there are some people that have filed after me that have access to their refund return. Is this because of the cycles like weekly or something? I just ordered my account transcript yesterday, but somehow I locked myself out so I had to mail order it.

[Amanda]

Welp woke up to same ole same ole path message 😞. STATE however has been approved and have a ddd for the 2/17. Hoping for something about fed soon!

[Brii]

@amanda

I filed and got accepted 1/27 And haven’t been able to order either transcripts till Thursday of last week and just got the Path message. So I’m hoping for ddd soon!

[Amanda]

Yes I have had path message since 2/3 filed on 1/31 accepted 1/31 path message since 2/3 ordered both transcripts 2/4 received have cycle code of 20170505 and processing date 2/20. Refund amount and bars disappeared on 2/2.. filed with both Eric and acts.. processing date I believe is only the 21 days mark from when filed. Hoping for a change this week sometime

[Lulu]

Wmr unavailable right now…..praying for a positive update!!

[Brii]

@Amanda

Mine is missing and I have the Path message.

[Amanda]

Everyone that has the PATH Act message…is your refund amount missing also?

[Patiently impatiently waiting]

Hello new to this.. I have read that the processing date is only the 21 day mark from when you filed which I counted and was 21 days from the date that I filed not sure if this helps anyone or not but figured I’d throw it out there to see if anyone has the same?

[Kourtnee]

My cycle date is 20170405 and processing date days 2/13.

[Cliff]

This is just hilarious….all this fuss!!!??? Guys it just means they finished our return so w.m.r. simply updated. Sent messages to all to let us know that we’re approved but they can’t legally release or giving returns out to the 15th due to the new law. 15th they can send the 1st batch!!!

[Willa]

@Cupcake Rose

LOVE TO HEAR POSITIVE STUFF!!! Gives us all hope and lessens the worry!!

[Danielle]

Hey guys…..newbie here
I filed 1/22
Accepted 1/23
WMR bar disappeared 2/11 with 152 topic
Was able to order account transcript, but not return, but I’m just assuming it might be blank. No path message though

[Lexi]

Thanks so much!! @Renae

[Renae]

@Lexi
The IRS will start processing the first batch of returns on the 13th. Does not matter weekly or daily this week….wherever you fall….more likely it could be cycle 0402 going first or 0405 going next or vice versa depending on how the system released. First on first out ….last in first out….fifo or lifo. Wherever you may fall in line. Same thing with 0502 and 0505 the week of the 20th

It takes approximately 2 days for refunds to hit banks from IRS. Banks will hold until 15th. But realize there are tons of transactions going through systems even on the bank side. I’m thinking 02 will see deposits on Wednesday and 05 will see deposits on Friday. There are dailys with 05 as well. For the 13th you’ll get a ddd of 2/17. But depending on the bank you could see it on the 15th.

[CupcakeRose]

Yesterday, I was fortunate to speak to a wonderful woman at the IRS about my account and if I had been issued a letter as I am out of town on business and was not home to receive correspondence they may have sent. She informed me that no letters had been sent and my return had been processed. I proceeded to inquire about the PATH act and when I should expect to get a refund and she said the 21st or 22nd. NOW, I think she was new because she very detailed and was giving out too much information, but I hope she was right. I filed 1/28, I have both credits (EIC & ACTC) and have been able to order transcripts for over a week now. I also have a processing date of 2/20 so that does kinda fall in line with a few other have been saying about the processing date and getting your money that week. I’m really hoping this chick was accurate but as I sit here typing, I realize how freely she gave out the info because she obviously doesn’t know how to do her job which means she obviously doesn’t know how to read the screen accurately and now I unsure about it all. Oh well I’m just going to pray.

Lincolns birthday is NOT a federal holiday. It is a state holiday in a handful of states. In those states banks and such are closed, however it’s specific to those states.

[Lexi]

@renae

What you said makes a lot of sense but question: Does your theory apply to weeklies? You said 15th-17th depending on ur bank..I have the processing date of the 13th so could I possibly get my refund this wednesday the 15th or have to wait for an update next weekend for DDD on the 22nd?
Can’t seem to get any clarification and I see a few ppl on this thread with cycle code 20170405 and proc date 02/13

[Camille]

My kids have school Monday, but next week they are off Friday I don’t get it. Lets just hope that those with the Path message that weeklys get their deposit on Wednesday and daily get theirs on Friday..

[MizuSeirei]

I thought that Lincoln’s birthday was tomorrow (the 12th). I also thought that federal offices were open because banks and schools were open last year. I’m in Michigan, maybe things are different from state to state.

[Marie]

I filed on January 18 and still haven’t received anything but the PATH message I been filing my son for 12 year’s so it’s not fair and crazy for us that do right having to wait

[Renae]

Path refunds are being processed on Mon 13th and Mon 20th. The banks cannot release funds until the 15th. Therefore no-one should see a refund until the 15th, as well as networks and green dot. They have specific instructions not to release any sooner than the 15th although they have received them from IRS. You will get a pending deposit alert on this case. The 13th processing date means you will get a deposit on the 15th thru 17th depending on how your financial institution operates. Now those with the 20th processing dates will get deposits from the 22nd thru 27th due to the federal holiday on the 20th. If you don’t believe me just watch :)

[WillBeas]

True I can remember growing up in IL, it seemed it was atleast one day every week you were out of school during Feb.

[Renae]

Monday the 13th is Lincoln’s birthday. I am a state government employee. We are off. Also, we are off Monday the 20th for Presidents day. Lincoln birthday is not a federal holiday but some states still use it as a holiday. Illinois is one of those states. In Illinois all state government offices are closed Mon the 13th and the 20th. Just trying to clarify!

[WillBeas]

I’m with you @Carrie..I’m a strong believer of next week…haha

[WillBeas]

I’m with you @Carrie..in a strong believer of next week…haha

[Carrie]

Filed and accepted 2/2. Was able to view transcripts online 2/10. Updated to PATH Message 2/11. Going off last year I’d say a DDD of 2/15 or 2/17 is possible.

[Camille]

I filed on 1/29 accepted 1/29 have an offset (which will not delay my refund) was not able to order transcripts until Feb 3rd. Tried around 8am no Bueno, tried again around 3:00 something and was able too. Updated to PATH message Saturday the 4th (YAY) I know the systems will not update for us with EIC/ACTC until after the 15th. I think because I am a weekly update and my normal DD are on Wednesday, I would of updated with a DDD for the 15th this morning, That even though nothing changed on WMR I will have a DD in my account on the 15th. I still have not got my transcripts in the mail. We shall see. Fingers crossed!

[Kourtnee]

I woke up to the same message I have been getting all week. I filed on 1/23, was accepted the same day. Had one bar for a few days, then it went away and I have had the PATH message since then. I was able to order transcripts on Monday, and I had the processing date of 2/13/17, and and a cycle date of 20170405. I have EIC and ACTC credits.

Yes, I got the message this morning when I checked it

[Brii]

@Amanda

I did and I filed and got accepted 1/27. So I’m hoping I get a ddd soon! :)

[Amanda]

So, my return was accepted on Jan. 12, I had the one bar on WMR then it went away and it just said my return was being processed and they’d give me a refund date when available. Then on Thurs. (Feb. 9) the part about giving me a refund date disappeared and it just said my return was being processed, nothing else. Kind of freaked me out (even more). Yesterday morning I could finally order my return transcript, but it’s by mail because my phone’s not in my name. After the update last night, I finally got the PATH Act message. Every where I look everyone is contradicting everyone else. (PATH Act message means your refunds approved…no it doesn’t. If you can order your return transcript it means your refunds approved…no, it doesn’t mean anything…) It would be nice if maybe the IRS could tell us what is going on. I’m done complaining now…I apologize. Did anyone else get updated to the PATH Act message last night?

[Brandy]

I think it’s very unfair how they can not just give us a DDD already we are so close to the 15th. My 21 days will be the 14th. I filed the 24th excepted the same day path act message on the 25th was able to order both transcripts on the 27th received them a few days ago I have a cycle code of 20170405 and process date of 2/13/2017 I claimed eitc and actc still no change on wmr as of today

[Ten1seven]

Wmr is currently down it’s 3:15 am central, hoping it’s the “big update” I’ve been hearing so much about :/

[Gene Taxpayer]

Shirley you have pretty much answered your own question.If it allows you to request both forms of transcripts you will be finished soon.

[Shirley]

How can you tell if your transcripts are available thru mail?? I requested one and the site said “we have received your request for a return transcript, please allow 5-10 days to recieve it.” I would think that means it’s processed ? Lol I locked myself out so I can’t order online

[Fe]

I do not work for the IRS but I do work in a government office and we’re closed for Lincoln Birthday. So they might be close down as well.

[sunglaze]

Monday is not a Holiday the 20th is president ‘s day. And just a little note that if you have received the path message does not mean that you are approved because some people are still getting letters from irs for reviews

[Ellie]

A little confused. Monday is not a Federal Holiday. The 20th is. I work for a financial institution. Bank are open….and processing….although many do NOT process over weekends while the Federal Reserve is closed.

My banks transmissions on Monday won’t process until Monday night and will be posted by Tuesday morning which is normal for any weekend unless the sender specifies a different date for availability.

[Chris]

I recieved both my transcripts

Cycle 20170405
Date 02/13/17

so from what it sounds the money wont be there this monday, which with the holiday and all im not expecting it to be, so maybe ill get mine the 15th like they are saying

[shinesta]

On the IRS website it says probably wont get it until 0227 for Path ACT.

[Debs]

@Tom
Yes I know they were supposed to be in on Jan31st, But my question was how it is going to effect me that mine has NOT submitted them. Will my refund be delayed longer?

[Andrea E.]

The 2017th is a holiday but I don’t know what holiday falls on the 13th?? My calendars show no known holiday that would delay refunds being sent to banks.

[Dani217]

FYI:
I received my account and return transcripts this week Monday. I too have Eic/actc my account transcripts have a processing date of 2/13/2017 with code 846 on there so hopefully I will get a DDD next week. #hopefully

[armstt57]

I was able to order my return transcript this morning, but no movement on WMR. I have given up on checking until the 15th due to the PATH Act. Plus, don’t forget that the next two Monday’s are a holiday, and if your are a “weekly”, you should expect to be pushed to the week of 2/27. My tax preparer told me not to expect a refund until 3/3, or 3/8 because of the holidays. I’m getting ill. I had my refund on 2/3 last year……

[ZannahBanana]

Kamikaze posted for me in the transcript thread that PATH filers will not get the 846 code on their transcripts this year…

Seems to be true. By the cycle date listed on my transcript, I should have had a DDD of 2/2.
My processing date says 2/20.

I might be lucky enough to get it by then, but trying to get any kind of accurate info is very frustrating

[Lexi]

So I’m curious about the 2/13 processing date (which I have)..will weekly ppl update on a Monday too? Soo confused this year..and @jean, I’m on the igmr fb page too and I’ve read the same thing about the 846 code not being on transcripts

[ZannahBanana]

The cycle codes mean NOTHING if you have the EIC or ACTC.

Just got my transcripts in the mail a few moments ago. My cycle is 20170505 which would give me a date of 2/2 (DDD of 2/8).

The transcripts list 2/20/2017 as the “processing date” and leaves me with a prospective DDD of 2/24

Not a happy camper to wait a month for money due to me. Filed/accepted 1/26

[Jean]

Thank you! This is what I expected. I’ve been saying this for awhile but ppl don’t listen. I actually just posted it on the fb page to see what ppl will say. Hoping I don’t get blocked.

[Tom]

Employers had to submit them by January 31

[Debs]

I am seeing alot of posts saying the IRS is cross referencing W2s….. but what happens if my slow employer has not submitted those yet, which I know mine hasn’t. Will that make me delayed further or my return change? I did check the SSA website and it does show my income for 2016, but it is totally wrong. Only showing from my old job not my current. Is this going to effect me?

[Tom]

Again, there is no positive way to say when exactly they will process… That 846 code only appears when a payment is processed… 2 years ago, when I received my transcripts, there was no 846 code, but I got my money the week of my processing date. How PATH will affec this remains to be seen. Since money cannot be moved until the 15th, it is safe to say that they will process on the 13th but will not be available until the 15th or later.

[Jean]

@Tom or @ Michael
Over on the IGMR fb page they are saying that there is no way that us with a processing date of 2-13 will get our money next week. They keep saying this because none of our transcripts have updated with the 846 code, which they are saying it would have had to happen today. My issue with this is that the 846 code isn’t issued until the money is released so I wouldn’t expect to see the 846 until 2-13. The admin is the one telling people this and I don’t want to contradict him because he deletes comments from people who don’t agree with him and several have been blocked. I have enough experience with taxes and the IRS but wanted to see what you guys would say because you are def a level above me.

[Tom]

This is just an educated guess coupled with what I’m hearing out of the IRS…

If your processing date is 2/13, you will receive it that week,

If you processing date 2/20, you will see it that week.

Unfortunately, the IRS hasn’t officially stated a refund timeline, so it’s probably impossible to say for sure. I feel strongly about what I stated, otherwise, it would be pointless to add a processing date.

[Me]

Nobody knows when we will get our DDD. I’m crossing my finger and hoping by this time next week. I set up an alert with my bank account so I get a text when I get a deposit. Other than that trying to be patient.

[HEATHER]

HOW SOON AFTER THE 15TH WILL WE BE SEEING OUR CHECKS DEPOSITED?

[Tom]

@Will-I–Am

The majority of fraud is committed by early filers. These types of fraud are ID theft, claiming kids that aren’t yours, etc… Feb 15th gives the legit filers a chance to get their returns in BEFORE money is refunded to fraudulent returns.

[Nea]

@Carrie
Sorry for yesterday, also for the typo error in the last message I sent. For some reason I was not able to post back to you. My offset was for money I want at the Hard Rock gambling $6,000. I didn’t know back then that I had to file them on my taxes. The office that was for taxes on that money.

[Jerry]

I filed on the feb.1 I think I got accepted on the 1st or 2nd I have eic and ctc…. still on one bar and the 152 message ? Is this bad? I can’t order any transcript with my new address either!

[Carrie]

Able to order transcripts today shows cycle 20170605 so my guess is the 15 or 17!

[Carrie]

@tom if you have an offset it shows in transcripts yes?

[Will-I-Am]

Ok I understand the PATH act and the delays until Feb 15th…What I dont get is…what if you waited until after the 15th to file. Will you still be delayed? If not, then what is the point of stopping fraud up until the 15th? SO fraud after that date is good to go. I havnt heard anything after the 15th. Maybe Im missed something somewhere, Can anyone clarify for me? Thanks

As far as how PATH will affect, I honestly am not 100% sure. My gut says the same rules apply here as they do anyone else. I’m sure somewhere I have the legal explanation, but I haven’t encountered this since PATH went into effect.

[Tom]

Student loans default after no payment is made for 270 days. As far as back child support, of he owes more than $500, they can intercept all or part of his return. “A non-obligated or “injured” spouse filing a joint income tax return, the injured spouse may be able to get back his or her share of the refund.  To claim his or her portion of any refund due, your spouse may file a request for an Injured Spouse Allocation of a Joint Return (Form 8379) with the IRS. The IRS encourages an injured spouse to file the claim at the same time the tax return is filed.”

The part in quotes is directly taken the way it is written in the law.g

[Laura]

I filed 1/20
Accepted 1/31
Had one bar witg the 152
Then no bars saying still processing
With 152 n all info still on side now its no bars n saying weve recived your refund n its being processed but no 152 topic anymore

[MsMeToo]

@kim it’s much appreciated. I just needed clarification. I’m not in a rush to get the money. I’d love to get it earlier than what’s being predicted, but I’m not counting on it. The longer it takes the less I’ll waste on needless b.s. My bills are caught up, so I’m not sweating bullets this year.

@tom @michael or anyone else…a discussion from work today. Student loans. How long does it take to default on a loan? I read 270 days My coworker has to file injured spouse. She found out through the offset line her husband has student loans and owes the v.a. a sum of money. He told her he his student loans were in forbearance and shouldn’t affect her return. He also owes backed child support. All of these reasons are why she files injured spouse. How does the PATH act affect EIC, ACTC, CTC and voth their student loans?

[WillBeas]

The offset line is for nonfederal offsets, so if she owes any back taxes or penalties, etc, the line wouldn’t inform her of tht..they would take whats owed to them, she can call the IRS and ask why did she owe them $2000.

[WillBeas]

The offset line is for nonfederal offsets, so if she owes any back taxes or penalties, etc, the lone wpuldnt inform her of tht..they would take whats owed to them, she can called the IRS and ask why did she owe them $2000.

[Carrie]

@tom a girl posted here that the offset line said she had no Offsets but $2000 was still taken from hers. So I was just curious how accurate the line is? I check it every year and have never had it tell me I have Offsets. So when she said she had an offset when the line said she didn’t I was curious as to why that might happen!

Thanks for you feedback! Much appreciated!

[Tom]

@Carrie

Your question is pretty vague, what exactly do you want to know? And yes, the offset line is fairly accurate. If you have an offset, you will receive a letter, so the offset line isn’t needed.

[Carrie]

@tom what can you tell us about Offsets please? How reliable is the offset line?

[Carrie]

@nea what was the offset for? Did the IRS ever send you a letter stating what it was and what it was for?

[Christie]

I filed 1/27 and was accepted an hour later. I still have one bar no path message yet ugh !! Single with 1 claimed child

[Tom]

Weekly vs daily updates… Basically, if you’ve had 2 disqualifiers you are weekly. It doesn’t mean you did anything wrong, just means something didn’t initially look right. Almost half of tax payers are weekly.

I’m seeing a lot of confusion about what exactly ordering transcripts means… Being able to order them doesn’t mean anything one way or the other. What information is on them is what makes all the difference.

[Amra]

@Michael and @Tom just wanted to say thank you.

I do have a quick question.. I have seen reference to weekly and daily?
I take that to mean that some people recieve updates daily and others weekly?
How is that determined?

[CynthlaLee]

@msmetoo
We filed married joint have EIC and CTC and have the path act message

[waiting]

Nicole- what is the TPG website??

[Kim]

@MsMeToo
My bad, sorry, I was just trying to be helpful.

[MsMeToo]

@Kim I was asking about the EIC &CTC, not if I would I would receive my refund on or before the 15th. I was looking for clarification because I don’t have a PATH message on WMR. And going through other threads, people are saying only those with ACTC AND EIC are affected. I have the EIC & CTC, that was my only concern. Not if I’d receive my refund before the 15th. I’m aware of what date I filed and was accepted and I’m not looking for my return until the end of February. Thanks for your answer @michael

[Nea]

Last year I called the offset line before time for my direct deposit and it said that there is no offset. Come to find out there was an offset $2,000 was taken out, I called the line again and it still said there’s no offset. Also the WMR bar on the wheres my refund site, never changed from approved even after I got my deposit

[Nicole]

I have the ACTC credit and the PATh message but I checked the TPG website and it says they received my fed refund ….what does this mean will they be holding it till the 15th….I will prove it if someone tells me how to do it

[Kim]

@MsMetoo
No one with EIC, ACTC will get their refund before 2/15. But with your filing date you probably wouldn’t get it back before then anyway……

[Anonymous]

@Msmetoo, Yes you would be under PATH due to EIC.

[Ty]

WMR is saying the information entered does not match our records. I called my tax preparer and she said due to the PATH act that’s why it is showing up. I filed HOH with EIC and child credits.
Should I make sure they put all my information correct? I’ve been going to them for years.

[WillBeas]

Yes

[Sean]

@thewaitisreal I call the offset # every day just to make sure I don’t have any lol rather be safe than sorry

[Carrie101]

@NiKesha Updates for weeklies usually occur Friday into Saturday.

[MsMeToo]

@Michael & @Tom
I filed on 2/3 and was accepted a fews hours later both state and federal. I used TurboTax through the irs website for free because I met the qualifications. Now my question is I’m head of household, earned income credit and 1 child. Currently, I’m at 1 bar with topic 152. I haven’t received a PATH notice on wmr. Am I affected by the February 15th date? I have read on here on different threads, I am then I’m not. Will you please give me some insight into this situation. Thank you both for any and all help you give!

[thewaitisreal]

Ok thats what i was thinking guess i wont know for sure till i get them in the mail or i get my refund. One plus is im clear on offsets so i know ill be getting it.
I suggest you all call the offset number from the treasury to make sure you dont have one as once you file theres no turning back they will take your money if u owe it. Happened to my girl she lost 5k.

[Sean]

@thewaitisreal if you are able to order return transcripts you are done processing and just waiting for a ddd which more than likely will be 2/15 or after.

[thewaitisreal]

Thought i posted this but i guess not

My question is if i am able to order return and account transcript over the phone for 2016 and i havd path message on wmr. Is my refund most likely done and just waiting for after the 15th?

[Sean]

@tom Thank You for all the information it is very helpful

[NiKesha]

Omg I think so and it’s so frustrating lol I usually get my direct deposit on Wed. So when would anything update for me?? Thanks @Tom I really do appreciate the help :)

[Tom]

@nikesha

Blank transcripts mean you aren’t finished processing yet… I assume you are a weekly updater?

[Tom]

I’m not tracking my refund, I already received mine. I’ve been coming here for years, trying to assist people, it’s what I do. Generally, I enjoy it, now it’s becoming a pain in the ass and I’m questioning why I do it. Then I realize that not everyone is an entitled jackass and actually appreciate the help.

For those thanking me, you’re welcome. If you have a question, I’ll be glad to answer, just @Tom me… otherwise, say what you want, I’m done defending myself to those who refuse to listen to reason and are too ignorant to educate themselves but will argue and insult me on these matters.

[NiKesha]

@Tom I wouldn’t be sorry, they have been pushing buttons all day, but I do have a question as I am really trying to learn this process…so what exactly do blank account transcripts mean? And why does it say no return filed, but processing date Feb 13th? And I ordered by mail, so I don’t know if the dates has changed. Thanks Tom @Michael u could reply as well, u see I’m not one of the ones who want to hear what I want to hear, I want to hear facts. And I know you guys clearly know more than most on here, so load me with info lol

[MizuSeirei]

OK seriously. . . . The name calling needs to stop. We are all adults here. I believe Tom, and Michael are correct. They have the facts. I know that they are correct because I too have family members who work for the IRS. Two of them to be exact! Not to mention a husband who studies’s tax law. We will not be getting our “FEDERAL” until the time for the PATH ACT passes. That is on 2/15. Please people. . . Let’s all be adults and stop with the childish bickering! I have a four-year-old that knows how to behave better than this!

[Ashley]

Lmao!! You got all that money sittin on a refund site tracking yo refund? Lmaoooo

[Bec]

::insert Fry from Futurama::

Can’t tell if IGMR or AVFM…

[Gene Taxpayer]

Tom is a great man The world would be a much better place if more people like Tom would step up

[Kat]

Holy crap. Come on now, Tom. You’re on a site that’s mostly populated by low income people (no offense to anyone, I’m one of them myself). Is that necessary?

[Stacie]

Ewww….that was mean. I am not dumb. I was just trying to say thank you to Tom and Michael. I would wish you bad karma but that just isn’t who I am, plus by your attitude I’m sure it’s headed your way anyway.

[Bellbor242]

You peoples should be ashamed of all this childish fighting. Most people like me, depends on this site for correct information about our taxes. Maybe we made a mistake on or taxes or we need to be comfort as we all wait or whatever our story, we don’t need to be feed lies by someone who don’t understand what compassion for your brother/ sister means. @ Michael and Tom, please don’t get discourage about peoples attacking you for telling the truth, for I strongly believe the truth win over a lie every time.

[Anonymous]

@Tom i will be eventually but i just started studying recently so i know you have more knowledge than i do right now lol

[Tom]

I’m actually an Enrolled Agent, took and passed my SEE exam. My real job is actually dealing with business tax issues, but I assist a smaller tax prep company during tax season.

I believe I saw Michael will be taking his SEE exam as well, so he is probably just as well versed as I am.

[Eva]

But… sigh.

[Stacie]

Tom and Michael should be getting some good karma from all this free help they have been giving out! Thanks guys!!

[Emmie]

So I got some good news today for all of us PATH message people! :) I spoke with an IRS rep who told me the PATH message on WMR means we have been processed and we are in queue for our refunds to be dispersed. She said to check back on February 16th and a date should be posted on WMR. She also said it is normal for the refund amount not to be listed on WMR and that is nothing to worry about.

[Neicole]

Hi guys, Im new…i didn’t file and get accepted until today, but i wanted to join the crowd knowing im gonna get this weird path message thingy so i will definitely update. i get both the actc and the eic…talk to you guys soon

[Sarah]

Very argumentative so I see why people were getting upset. You are not open to any other information, just your information, as though it seems so I will leave it at that. I don’t expect my refund until Friday the 17th the earliest. I will be back on this board to let people know when I receive mine. Have a great day.

[thewaitisreal]

So if i can order both my account and return transcript im most likely good to go and just waiting till after the 15th with the path message?

[Anonymous]

@nicole then she did the loan option or whatever it is they do as NOBODY gets it from the IRS until next week.

[Nicole]

My sister files through H&R and she has both credits she was issued a check yesterday for federal. Here I am filed 1/23 direct deposit and I’m still waiting ….😩

[Me]

Each state is different. My state has said they’re not releasing refunds for EIC until at least March 1st.

[Sarah]

I don’t know why everyone is arguing. The people who got their refunds already are just claiming the Child Tax Credit which is completely different from the Additional Child Tax Credit. The Child Credit is only 1,000 per child. The additional credit is different. People are confusing these two. I am a tax preparer and studying to become an Enrolled Agent. I have spoken to numerous agents who said NO REFUNDS before February 15th, it’s the law. If you get the PATH message it means your return was processed without issues, check back February 15th and it will give you a direct deposit date which is normally FRIDAYS, so it would be February 17th, or 24th. Then March 3rd and 10th. Those who do not have the PATH message the return is not processed yet and you will get information soon. Just keep checking WMR for information.

[Andrea E.]

@Tom and @Michael
I have a question. Or it could be clarification. I filed and was accepted 1/25. I do have the EIC and I totally understand the wait regarding the PATH act. My question is I do have BOTH my transcripts. I have had them for a week, my states cycle 20170405 and Processing date of 2/13/2017. I have been reading responses on several threads and I post when I feel that I have something positive and informative to add but can you help me understand those 2 bits of info. I am getting confused on what it does or could mean. Thanks alot!!

[WillBeas]

In most States they do. Some states also will do it if you have owed the government in previous yrs. The State will wait to see if they need to turn over your funds as well.

[WaterSpirit]

I got my refund, but it was not my Federal. It was my state, and it’s due by tomorrow. I think that everyone will be seeing the state refunds first, if you are claiming the EITC and ACTC. @Tom and @Michael….. Is it true that your Federal has to process in order for your State to process? You guys seem to know so much about this stuff that I felt that I should ask the two of you.

[Me]

From what I’ve seen on other sites a few people who claimed to have a DD never actually got the money and I didn’t see anyone actually post proof that they got their deposit. I kniw many of them the supposed DDD was 21 days from when they filed.

It would be nice to get it on the 15th ,but we’ve been told it could be the end of February. So be thankful if you get it around the 15th, just don’t act surprised if it doesn’t show until February 27th. Personally I’m annoyed with all of the complaints about “still having the PATH message”. Ummm yeah, they’re not going to update until after the 15th so why are you shocked? Hello, the IRS has provided you with all of this info stop acting outraged.

[Sandy]

Filed 1/4/2017
Accepted 1/13/2017
Filing status: MFJ with EIC and ACTC
WMR from 1/14/2017 through 2/3/2017 (we received your refund and is processing then
updated Saturday 2/4/2017 with PATH message.

It is safe to say no one with affected credits will receive refunds until after the 15, maybe the 13th if you have a early card (assuming your ddd is 2/15).

I agree with both Michael and Tom. I have been filing the same for years. I come here for updates and its people loosing their minds. Those of us waiting just want TRUTHFUL information, if you some how got money, prove it! Not because you have to but for informational purposes otherwise chill with all that. This process is bad enough for those of us waiting on the little extra to catch up on bills or make major purchases like homes or cars!

That all I have to say…CARRY ON!! PEACEFULLY

[WillBeas]

Seems you got lucky!! I’m reading TaxAct clients haven’t been accepted yet….They are furious

[Neicey]

@information did you have the path act message?

[Tom]

No proof = pure BS.

I spoke with an agent over lunch… NO ONE wrapped up in PATH has gotten any refunds. They couldn’t even manually release them if they wanted to.

[NiKesha]

Everybody I know has eic and/or actc and not one of them has received a federal refund yet, a state yes, but not federal…they are either sitting at 1 bar or have the processing message…none have the path act message, some can order transcripts, some cant…and that’s all between the acceptance dates of 1/23-1/29 so unless it’s a loan from a tax preparation company, no one has a federal refund that claimed these credits

If you do, proof me please and not because I’m trying to be in your business but simply because if so, the irs got a lot of explaining to do!!!

[Hanna]

I think Michael is CALMING the frenzy. As least for us logical thinkers who can comprehend the PATH ACT won’t allow the IRS to release refunds until the 15th. Don’t you people have anything better to do than to bicker like children. I’m more concerned with the fact we really don’t even know if we are even approved yet….so let’s try to stick to the facts. Not your sisters dogs third cousin got their refund because the IRS chose them out of MILLIONS to break the law for…..your wasting your time.

[WillBeas]

No you shouldn’t worry @Carrie

[Carrie]

Serious question I filed 2/2. Have EIC and ACTC. No PATH Act notice on WMR AND can’t order transcripts either. Should I worry?

[WillBeas]

Good for you @information…awesome

[Tom T]

Is this a good sign? Before I had 1 bar and now I this:
Refund Status Results
Print. Take the survey.

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.

[Alyssa]

Which i’m not sure is true*

[Alyssa]

People who claim they claimed the ACTC &/or the EITC credit are not going to have funds released to their bank until the 02/15. The DDD’s you are seeing on your transcript & on WMR (which i’m sure it true), IF BEFORE 02/15, is the date your funds are ready to be sent to the bank, BUT WILL NOT BE RELEASED/SENT UNTIL FEBRUARY 15th due to the new PATH law. So either you are confused as to what credit you claimed, or your DDD is the date your funds will be ready & placed in the batch that is to be released on 02/15. I can assure you, they are NOT breaking any laws to pay anyone quicker. Your funds will be release 02/15 or after.

[Anonymous]

Ive seen people confuse the child tax credit with the ACTC numerous times. The IRS isnt going to violate federal law to give you money any faster lol

[Tom]

It is HIGHLY unlikely the IRS is going to violate FEDERAL LAW… So far, and I am including other places as well… 0, yes ZERO, of the people claiming they have gotten their refund with PATH Act effected credits has provide the same amount of proof… ZERO.

2 explanations… They really didn’t have those credits and think they did… or there story is as fake as the $3 bills they are pulling from their accounts…

[Renae]

@Michael thank you! There’s another word in the word ignorant…..it is ignore. Please ignore the babies on this site.

[Tom]

@michael

Most people are NOT like this… Just do yourself a favor, EDUCATE them as much as you can about these types of things… it will keep them informed, they’ll feel invested in the process, they’ll love you for taking the time to explain it to them… and the flipside is, they won’t be a pain in your ass later.

[Anonymous]

For people who even claim a DDD of the 8th unless its updated that youve gotten your money i would say its some sort of glitch in the system since it seems to only be H&R customers.

[Anonymous]

And then the second someone posts that “a friend of a friend of a friend has a DDD” all hell breaks loose. Ive seen ZERO change in anything and ive been watching it closely especially because im prepping for the SEE to become an enrolled agent. But damn if clients are all like this i think i should rethink it lol. Alot of nice folks asking questions here but you have a few that get mad when you tell the truth

[Hanna]

You guys, seriously. Whoever honestly thinks a branch of the federal government is going to break a federal law to deposit your tax return early in your bank is in SERIOUS need of a wake up call.
Why are you all hating on Michael for actual advice??? He isn’t promising unicorns, he is sharing information that he knows to be true.
If you disagree with him then that is fine. But don’t be snide or rude. It is taking up alot of space on this thread where we could be getting information.
Maybe, just maybe if you have netspend or something you will get your refund the 13th. Maybe the 15th. Maybe April 15th…..

[Lolo]

I called hrblock and got a refund date of 2/13 for me. Filed the same way for a cpl years. Figured I’d let u guys know on this thread cuz I keep seeing Path this and path that. Yes there is a law and idk the reason but I’m getting mine earlier than the 15th.

*Filed 1/19
*Accepted 1/23
*Was able to order both account and return transcripts on 1/27
*woke up to the path act message on 1/28
Haven’t had anything change since.
Filed with HR Block in office with emerald card. Fees taken out of refund.
Have EITC and CTCx2

[atb043]

filed and accepted 1/31 with taxact
did have Child tax credit. no eitc. did have education credit
no transcipts available
still one bar.. no path message

i’m getting frustrated.
i know refund will be later
i just want to have it processed and know it’s not in a black hole

[Savanna]

I have the path message. I was told that just because you can order your returns doesnt mean it was approved or processed. Just what I was told. I was also told if your amount is gone on wmr that means your under review. Not speculating but was told by an IRS rep.

[Kenya]

I know someone with a DDD of today Feb 8 who filed with ACTC. I will let you know if they get it.

[Lexi]

@Michael

My understanding is that you are right..in other fb forums I have seen different processing dates
2/13 2/20 and even 2/27
Im 0405 2/13, filed and accepted 24th, ordered both trans on the 28th with the Path message, no error codes
I believe I am in the first batch of deposits
And yes, the irs said they will BEGIN RELEASING FUNDS ON THE 15TH

[Anonymous]

I havent seen one person with EIC or ACTC with a direct deposit date. Not a single one even on other sites….

[Pink-Princess]

If you can order your transcript that means the IRS has processed your return. People had DDD of yesterday 02/06, which in past they’ve never deposited on a Monday.

People that are getting EIC and ACTC have gotten DDD of tomorrow 02/08 and are waiting to see if they will actually get it tomorrow.

Just because the law says 02/15 does not mean they will deposit EIC and ACTC filers on that date.

The IRS just said the 27th because they didn’t want people calling and because of the bank holiday on 02/20. If you paid for your filing out of your refund or got a loan out of your refund then it will take longer to get, because they send to your tax preparer’s bank and then take money owed and then send your refund to your bank.

[zoey]

Do we need to order transcripts?
What are they for and is it necessary?

[Angie]

@Anthony…all say the received day of April 15th…that is tax day, except this year is April 17th.

You dont go by the received date..It says that on all of them. Including mine from last year just 2016 instead of 2017.

[Anthony]

My return transcript says RECEIVED DATE. APR.15,2017

[Anthony]

I have my account transcript in front of me it has a cycle 20170404 date 2/13/17

@513lette Its best you keep your incorrect opinion to yourself. Misinformation is not helpful at all.

[Anonymous]

[GILBERT]

I filed 1/28 and was accepted same day using credit karma tax. Filed for hoh with eic and actc. Wmr still one bar with topic 152. Cant order transcripts yet. Did not receive anything in the mail either. Dont know if ots a bad sign…

[Anthony]

@michael

You’re so sure. I wish I was that sure.

If only the IRS had said, “filers with later processing dates will wait until the week of the 27th, but everyone else will see their deposit on the 15th,” I might be.

[Anonymous]

depending on the processing date on your transcript. If it has a processing date of 2-13-17 youll get your money later next week like me. If you have a processing date of 2-20-17 it will be later that week.

Filed 1/19
Accepted 1/20
EIC & CTC
JUST checked WMR today 2/7 and see PATH Act message.
Just impatiently waiting cause I know it will be end of February at least.

[Anonymous]

What i found out is they expect everyone held up by PATH to have money by the week of the 27th which makes sense for those with later processing dates. Ill have mine on the 15th.

[513lette]

Well that was the info that I got the 2 different times I called the IRS to ask about my return and bankruptcy. They said no funds will be released on the the 15th, and that for a safe measure estimate 14 to 21 days starting from the 15th. Even turbo tax says that deposits won’t start hitting till the 27th. “The IRS estimates that people who claimed these credits will start receiving their federal refunds the week of February 27. This is true for all taxpayers who claimed these credits, regardless of their tax prep method. ” directly from an email I got from turbo tax yesterday.

[AshantiLiam]

I filed on January 30th and only have one bar. My state refund is still processing and I can only order my account transcript. I have three dependents. I hope we all get an update soon, even hough we aren’t really going to see anything until the 15th. I plan on buying me a car, Paying off court debt, Financial aid debt and shop for spring and put the rest aside for a road trip. What are yawls plans for your return?

[Gene Taxpayer]

Filed 1/6/17 IRS accepted 1/13/17. My return was subject to the new PATH act to which i received a disclaimer on the 23rd stating of the PATH message on WMR. I was able to order both account and return transcripts on the 26th of January. No progress since then and i do not anticipate an update until the allocated date of the 15th.

[Kibbles]

In the same boat as most, but noticed that my amount on the left side is no longer there. Not sure if anyone is seeing the same thing.

[Chase]

Filed 01/22
Accepted 01/23
WMR 1 Bar 01/24
WMR Path act 01/28
Acct and return transcript 01/28
Processing date 02/13/2017
Cycle code 20170405
WMR Path act still 02/07

Most the people on here filed different days and have processing dates of 02/13 and 02/20, so the processing date definitely isn’t 21 days from acceptance. I’m hoping and assuming most of us are getting paid next week or right after Presidents Day at worse. Definitely the longest wait I’ve ever had for taxes but doesn’t seem like it’s going to be as long a wait as I thought so can’t complain.

[atb043]

I filed with taxact on 1/31/17 accepted in 5 minutes with child tax credit. no eic. did have education credit

No change still one bar and can’t order either transcript.

I realize that I won’t get a refund until week of 27th but it’s odd to not have my WMR update by now.

I must be a weekly but still I should be able to get account script by now.

[NiKesha]

@Bri yes me too but I was able to order account transcript about a week ago

[513lette]

No one will get a refund if you have those credits on the 15th… Deposits are not expected to hit until the week after. The way it was explained to me, is that the 15th is being looked at as tax day opening for those claiming EIC or ACTC, so the funds will not be made available until AT LEAST 14-21 Days after February 15th.

Everyone just needs to calm down. and breathe. I was able to order both transcripts about a week after filing and being accepted, I just got the PATH act message today. Processing date of Feb 20th, cycle code of 20170204

[Bri]

Is anyone getting the message we have recived your return it is being processed a refund date will be provided when available?

Refund amount still showing on the side
Can’t order transcripts

Filed and accepted 1/23
ACTC and EITC

[Carrie101]

.

[Tam]

@Carrie101 thank you.

[Anonymous]

If you claimed EIC or ACTC then check again, you will not see a DDD. The irs confirmed it. The only two dates are the processing date and the “refund by” date which is april 15 not feb.

[MizuSeirei]

Filed and accepted 1/24

Received “Path Act” 1/28

Ordered both return and account transcripts 1/28

Credits EITC

I have the cycle code 20170405 with the processing date of 2/13. I have yet to receive a DDD, but what can I expect? I think the wait sucks, but hey. . .what can I do?

[Mama Hawk]

@aaron mine info is exactly the same as yours.

Can anyone tell me why when I try to order my transcripts it tells me my info is wrong and I know I entered everything in correct?
Filed and excepted 27th
Eic
One bar

[sayjay]

Accepted 1/31/17
Was able to order both transcripts on 1/6/17

Is that a good sign???

[Carrie101]

Not to be argumentative, but normally the IRS releases funds a couple of days before the date they tell you to expect the funds in your account, due to the fact that most financial institutions hold deposits for an average of two days before making the funds available in your account. Some people use various cards and banks that release funds immediately. It is highly likely that those who use those types of services will see the funds before the first projected date of 2/15, if they are in the first batch of PATH Act refunds to be released.

[Tay]

You won’t be getting any DD on the Monday before the 15th. Ya know, per the law and everything.
A processing date is 21 days AFTER the IRS accepted your return. Processing date as well as cycle codes don’t mean much if you have credits on your return (ACTC, EIC)

[Carrie101]

@dmt87 The codes are on the account transcript.

[Carrie101]

I’m a weekly. My update is:

Filed 1/26

Have ACTC

One Bar

Can order account transcript as of Friday 2/3, but no return transcript.

Expecting to order return transcript Friday 2/10.

Hoping for Saturday 2/11 to show an early PATH Act DD for 2/15.

Prepared to wait till the following week, just because, LOL.

[dmt87]

Are the cycle codes on the account transcript or the return transcript?

[Arin]

I filed on 1/25.
Accepted 1/26
One bar on 1/27

[Shana Ammons]

I filed and was accepted on 1/23. Filed EIC. Was able to order my transcripts on 1/27. Received the path message on 1/28. Got my transcripts today with a process information date of 2/13 and a cycle code of 20170405

[Anonymous]

kellyo i think youre right. WMR seems to never update for me, i usually just wake up with a deposit lol

[Kellyo]

I filed the 11th, accepted 13th. I was able to order transcripts 1/27, got them today. No ddd. There is a processing date of 2/13/2017 & cycle 20170405, so hoping for dd next week. I don’t think that there will be an update, just direct deposit. Totally guessing though :)

[Anonymous]

@Tam, how do you see a DDD? nobody on here has one that has EIC or ACTC

[Tam]

I filed 1-13 and accepted right after. I was able to order all transcripts 1-25 and just received them over the weekend. Cycle date says 2-13-17, it lists 2-15 as ddd. However I have a 20170402. Which means I believe I’ll get it on that Monday and not the 15th.
