PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE REFUND CYCLE CHART WORKS?!?!

[Anonymous]

LAST YEARS REFUND CYCLE WAS 20150405. CAN ANYONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THESE NUMBERS TO ME, AND HOW TO COMPARE THEM TO THIS YEARS REFUND DISBURSEMENT ??? I USED TAXACT AND SUBMITTED AND ACCEPTED ON 1/19/2016. LAST SUMMER I REQUESTED A RETURN TRANSCRIPT FOR MY DAUGHTER COLLEGE FINANCIAL AID. INSTEAD OF THE TRANSCRIPT I GOT A LETTER SAYING THEY COULDNT PROVIDE ME WITH TRANSCRIPT AND TO CALL IDENTITY PROTECTION SPECIALIZED UNIT. WELL, I JUST CALLED THE DAY I SUBMITTED MY TAXES. THEY SENT ME THROUGH A SERIES OF IDENTITY QUESTIONS AND THAT WAS THE END OF THE CALL. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WOULD MAKE MY REFUND LATE, AND HE SAID “NO”. AS OF TODAY I AM STILL AT ONE BAR, BUT ABLE TO ORDER ACCOUNT TRANSCRIPTS (DUE TO A $300 OFFSET THAT WAS PAID THE DAY I SUBMITTED RETURN). TODAY I CALLED IRS JUST TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS O.K. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT SAID IT WOULD BE A WEEK LATE. I PROBALY SHOULD OF ASKED HIM “A WEEK FROM WHEN?”, BUT I DIDNT. PLEASE HELP!!!!
