[ineedtoknow]

[Meechi]

[Meechi]

I amended my tax’s August 29 2018
They recieved it September 11 2018
No update on the wmar still say
We can not provide any information about your return
Checked after 3 wks were up
Still showed the same detail but
It got adjusted in 14 weeks
Still showing up
We cannot provide any information about your return
But checked a week ago on wheres my refund (not wheres my amended refund ) and it’s showing up as recieved

That’s awkward
We have recieved your tax return and it is Being processed

[NorthSouthMomma]

I filed in March.
Had to verify my info in May.
Received a 90 day letter.
State was DD in July!!?
Then in October got the “deficiency” letter.
Difference less than $1k so I agreed.
WMR has said “processing” since Thanksgiving.!?
Has anyone received their Federal refund after agreeing to deficiency; if so how long did it take?
With government shutdown I can’t reach out to an TA .!?

HELP ME .!.!.

[Spookyrides]

We finally got it redacted, then after paying them, they sent me another bill for $42, subject to interest, then another letter saying that we needed to ID Verify over the phone. Unreal. I shutter at filing this coming year honestly! Good luck all, chat in a couple of months.

[redacted B]

Hey guys, checking in! I got my return a few weeks ago now. Just thought I’d check in with Spooky and the rest of ya. I hope all is well and we’ve all gotten our refund!!

[Ajc]

~F&A 6/26
~Called & completed IDV 7/23 – IRS rep said I would be put back into processing and will receive refund in 2-9 weeks.
~Called 8/23 – rep confirmed IDV was good and return would be received by ~10/4 (the full 9 weeks) and letter sent.
Letter received 9/6 stating they were verifying my wages, etc. Letter stated the same date of 10/4
~10/8 Still nothing. I’m debating on who to call. IRS or TA? Tried ordering transcripts “experiencing technical difficulties” Unable to order online (no way to verify).
I’ve seen some people have gotten theirs after like 5 months. I really can’t afford to wait anymore. I appreciate Any advice. Thanks!

[NopeNopeNope]

So sorry to hear all of that, Craig! Call the Tax Advocate line. There’s no way you don’t qualify at this point.

[Craig]

So, I called the number the IRS gave me on the last letter they sent. I waited months before even trying to contact them. However, I was overdrawn on my account and the back closed it. I have gone back to work and so I opened a new account. The problem is, I gave the IRS my previous account number for DD. Getting back to the call, I was on hold for just over an hour when the music stopped and no one said anything. I said hello and then the call disconnected. Now, I am currently on hold again and it’s been 45 minutes so far. This is complete BS. I am currently trying to save my home from foreclosure and these crooks at the IRS don’t give two shits about any of us.So, even when they are done taking their on sweet time and finally release my refund it will probably get sent back and I will have to wait even longer. I am currently have taxes taken out of my checks but that is going to end and I will never again loan my money to the IRS. this is complete shit, companies like verizon and general electric pay nothing in taxes and get millions back from our taxes and then the IRS treats us like this. I want to move to Canada so bad. Or the Netherlands.

[Spookyrides]

@Jeannine… call the national number for the Tax Advocates. Explain your situation as I’m positive the IRS have broken their own promise to you and you now qualify for a TA. That’s some damn BS! Be proactive, it won’t hurt to see what they can do.

[Jeannine adkind]

I’ve been coming on here reading and letting everybody kno about mi e so ya kno I also filed in Jan with turbo tax . I had called a few times was told to wait I got letters saying to wait as I did them I received a letter saying I was being examined or audited my daughter in law just passed away so I misplaced the letter I called was told she verified some of my info then still needed to mail a copy of my income in which I did she told me that they were so backed up nobody would probably look at it until 6 MONTHS .. yep I said six months so I mailed it in today I got a letter saying they received it dated 8/20/18 and they should review my response by 02/06/19 and contact me AGAIN if they need additional information .. UNREAL FEB NEXT YEAR ……..

[Spookyrides]

@Jamie, call the national Advocate number and explain your problem with the IRS. I’ll bet the Farm you now qualify! They will help you expedite the process!

[Spookyrides]

@Juststillwaiting, yes my WMR did update the Saturday before the DD as we’re weekly.

[NopeNopeNope]

Jamie: Have you asked for a tax advocate? “You have not received a response or resolution to your problem or inquiry by the date promised” is qualification enough for a TA. They may be able to help speed things along.

[Jamie]

Filed in march- got the 60 day letter in may. No updates at all since then. Called once and was told there was a possibility of an audit.
Called again two weeks ago and was told that the employer didn’t send in all the W-2’s (they get one for each job, its contract). IRS says that they probably wont even investigate the issue until February and there is nothing that can be done on my end. WMR doesn’t even say received.

[Jessi Powell]

I been waiting since March for my taxes finally got a TA at the end of August. Got a call from my TA that my refund would be direct deposited on September 12. Finally!!!

[Juststillwaiting]

spookyrides……Did your wmr update?

[Ashley]

@spookyrides yea his boss called and said I know that’s a lot of month to lose but walk away from it.. easy for some who makes hundreds of thousands of dollars from this job and owns sides businesses to say walk away from a few grand to spare the company.. it hurts that all he has put into it and how proud he was to get his promotions to realize it’s a bunch of crappy people… I’ve gotten documents ready to fight it but I want us to agree on the decision…

[Spookyrides]

@Ashley…. Soooo sorry! That’s friggin horrible! Does his employer realize just how much money you guys are going to loose? Maybe you can call the national TA line and try to get a different agent to work your case? That’s some Damn BS for sure!

[Ashley]

Update: Y’all will love this…
Filed and accepted 2-16, in review about a week late then a few 60 waits and finally got a t.a., asked for some info and sent in called on my birthday to tell me she was going to close the case… good news right? Hahaha… she said my husband’s employer said he did not and has not ever worked there.. say what?.. ok well I can have then fix it and get you what you need right? No I’m closing the case… gee thanks for the help… so husband called his employer and talked to h.r. (bc surely an employee of 6 years this is a mistake) told them what was going on and needed them to send verification he worked there… was told they would call him back.. they told his boss to tell him that when the irs calls they deny the person works there bc they do not want the irs going through their files bc they employ illegals and told he was not to pursue the refund… what the actual f… he can’t quit bc he is afraid he won’t find a job paying that much elsewhere, despite having check stubs, 1099, bank statements they paid him and emails etc from the company he is too scared to fight it bc of their lawyers, and the t.a. was not even willing to ask for anything else that could have probed our case without going through the employer… now if the irs decides to take any action against me or my husband we will be in a battle and he we r so worried this is going to come up to bite us later and mess up his permanent residence… how in the world can these ppl sleep at night?… at times like these I can understand why some people snap… by the way bc his job makes most of their $ in the warm weather we use the tax refund to pay bills over the cold season so there goes bill, home repair, holidays, birthdays for our 3 kids… 11k down the drain… what’s a girl to do?

[Spookyrides]

Thanks Nope, those TA’s are actually IRS agents that congress put in place to self-police themselves. Give him/her 3 weeks then follow up. Bye now thee paying you interest and probably messed up a few times. Hang in there!

[NopeNopeNope]

Congrats, Spooky! Still waiting here, but I was assigned a TA a few weeks ago, and I’m hoping mine can work some magic as well. What a long, strange trip it’s been.

[Spookyrides]

So we finally, after 8+ months, got our refund today. Took the TA just three weeks to get it done. We still have to pay back 2k due to the amended return, but our journey is over. I hope anyone else gets theirs soon too and that none of us have to deal with this complete and utter trash ever again!

[Starbabies]

I also am still waiting for Wmr to update. Im still stuck on “we have received your return and it is being processed”. I mailed in all documents July 16th 2018. I called in a few days later to make sure they received it and was told the 9 week wait bs. Wmr does not change no bars no other letters…nothing. So frustrating. I got my first letter in March. Couldnt send everything till i came back from out of state…so i lost time there. September 10th is my 9 week end date. Lets see. Good luck to all.

still Waited on mine to be adjusted

[redacted B]

Mines coming by mail and still hasn’t arrived. Although it’s supposed to be mailed BY the 31st. Guess we shall see! Glad to see others got their checks as well!!

[sodonewithwaiting]

I Also received my refund today. What a journey it has been since February. It will eventually. come. Good luck to you all!

[Spookyrides]

@Shay Congrats!!!

[Shay]

For everyone that is still waiting I finally got my refund. I have been waiting since the beginning of February. WMR never updated I checked my account this morning and my refund was there. Just thought I would post to give everybody that is still waiting a little hope. Good luck to everyone and hopefully we won’t have to go through this next year.

[redacted B]

@Spookyrides, I hope none of us do next year!! And yes I’m going to cheese cake factory to celebrate as soon as it gets here! Lol

I’ll keep in touch. We’ve all bonded so well over our bad luck this year, almost become pals lol

[Spookyrides]

@ redacted B, Congrats Man! Time for you to buy a Steak! Hopefully next year none of us have to deal with this yet again.

[redacted B]

Well folks for the first time since April my WMR has updated. Says my check is being mailed by August 31st. Thankfully my journey has come to an end it appears. They paid interest and got my bars back. So seems legit!

I’ll keep checking in and see how you all are doing and I sincerely wish you all the best of luck and I hope you get your refunds very soon!!!

Dial (800) 829-0582 ext. 652

[Spooky]

Update: my TA called me today before 8 am. Very educated, punctual and even apologized for the BS that the IRS has sent me thru. Said they screwed up twice. Told me a few important things: First, he’s going to ask the IV dept. to release the return, would take 2-3 weeks. If they refuse and want an amended return due to a bad W2 my idiot former employer sent them, the Amended return will already be there. Says either/or I’ll get back 3K less but that’s better then nothing. If they go the amended route, says no later then mid-October but probably mid-September. Told me something else: when we call the “call center” and they ask questions n put us on hold, there only looking thru scripted response sheets to answer us. That’s why we always get a different answer! Idiots get graded on how fast they can end our calls and the volume per day. And next year will be worse (his words). Unreal, but I couldn’t be happier with this guy (so far). Will update once I see which way we’re going.

[Spooky]

@Shay, I don’t have the direct number and extension I’ve used to call but if no one else posts, I’ll post it here tomorrow when I get home. Don’t you have the TA’s number to call him?

[Shay]

So my TA was supposed to be contacting me today and I have been sitting by the phone waiting on a call but of course I didn’t get one. I had a feeling that this was gonna happen. I’m assuming that he will send me another letter stating that he tried to contact me by phone. I guess I am going to call the irs myself now since all I’m getting from the TA is a bunch of lies. Can someone please post the number to call to speak to someone alone with what options I need to press.

[Spooky]

@ Sodone Congrats! My own update: Nothing. TA is supposed to call me no later then tomorrow, then, if they don’t call, I have to call them Thursday. Already faxed them our amended return for a mere cost of $26. Dear God this whole tax season is one to truly forget! I hope n pray next year it’s not any of us again!

[sodonewithwaiting]

Update: My WMR finally updated on Saturday August 18 stating that my refund would be mailed on August 24th instead of deposited into my account. Problem is, I moved and didn’t bother to tell them I moved cause I thought it was going to just deposit into my account. Luckily, I may have access to my old place. I literally almost lost hope in ever receiving my refund. I’ll keep you guys posted if im able to access my old mailbox!

Basically my story is they said my income didnt “Match up” after waiting 4-5 months for an answer why i haven’t gotten my refund. I they sent me a letter asking for proof of income. after about 6-8 weeks my refund was released and they took off a few hundred from what i claimed.

anyway good luck everyone…..

[redacted B]

I called this morning again, was told to call back on 9/15 if not heard anything as this form of referral I have doesn’t take the full 60 days and it actually speeds up the process.

I’m sure I too, will have to amend. I may as well go ahead and do it honestly. But idk if I can or not without them telling me to??

[NopeNopeNope]

Whoa, beyond baffled! :(

[Spooky]

@Nope & redacted: My former & now defunct employer sent in my W2 with a 6K car allowance as income, which it’s not. I use my own vehicle and can’t claim the mileage. Welp…. once I caught the mistake it was too late as there’s no one to contact to fix it. So the IRS thinks I made another 6K which I didn’t. So I’m amending to count the 6K and loose about 3K of our refund, just to push this damn thing through as my wife’s small business desperately needs the influx of cash. Bye the way… the TA’s are also IRS Agents, that departmental was congresses way of having them self-police themselves. Thru this whole mess, the IRS told me not to amend, just wait, which in fact was wrong the whole time! Six months wasted for nothing!

[LondyBaby]

I too was finally told to do an amendment 6 months later I just hope I get paid interest on top of my refund and hoping it doesn’t take 8 more weeks . Beyond me why they couldn’t had made the adjustment months ago

[redacted B]

I’m calling them this morning again myself. This is horse shit!

[NopeNopeNope]

Wow, Spooky, that’s wild! I’ve been following your saga and I’m so sorry you’ve been given the runaround for so long. I didn’t file until April, so while the past few months have been frustrating, at least I haven’t been waiting ALL DAMN YEAR like a lot of you on here.

I called in yesterday morning after my second 60 day wait (referral) was up with no refund/update. The representative at the call center said I qualified for a TA even though I don’t have a hardship. (Although I’m in my early 20s and live paycheck to paycheck, so this refund would certainly help me feel more secure! A flat tire could ruin me at this point.) Like a few have said previously, apparently once the IRS “breaks their promise” to contact you after so many times, you qualify. Anyway, the representative said they forwarded my info to a TA that would call me within 5 business days. Nothing yet, but it’s only been a day and a half (and the first half day probably doesn’t count as part of the 5 days).

Do you think the representative really forwarded my info, or will I have to hunt down a TA myself? I’m paranoid I won’t be getting a call within the 5-day window, since I’ve been told the IRS would contact me within X days twice now, but haven’t heard anything back within the timeframe. In fact, I haven’t received any communication from the IRS since the initial 4464C letter. I’ve had to track them down to learn anything.

\When will the madness end? (Spring 2019, apparently?)

[redacted B]

I mean are they telling you what to amend exactly??

[redacted B]

Wow Spooky!!!! Crazy shit!!!!! Why do they want you to amend it for???? And do they scan amended returns and not scan what they have so far?!!?

[Spookyrides]

Update: Soooo after all of this, I now qualify for a TA due to our small business loss last year, and now they want us to amend our return. If we don’t, I’ve been told by the TA that we are looking at our refund probably next spring, at best. If we amend, it could be another 8 weeks, but could be only 3-4 once the idiots scan in the amended return. I asked why they didn’t want us to do this back in March, Answer: So they could continue to stall and not process the refund. Unreal!

[Spooky]

@redacted B I think the next excuse is that it wasn’t sent the first time, or now it’s held in accounting and that they may request more info. It’s honestly too damn funny now that there getting away with this.

[redacted B]

Someone refresh my memory, what excuse follows the 60 day referral???

[redacted B]

I had to call them for them to send the referral. And I heard all about how that department is way behind. What a crock of shit!

[redacted B]

Well guys an UPDATE! And much like we all knew, they sent a referral for my refund to be released and will take up to another 60 days!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ!

I totally saw this happening!!!

[Spookyrides]

@ redacted It’s very apparent that they “false positive” more pulled returns just to appease the Fedaral reserve, whom they answer to, then to have the people in place to handle this. Corrupt would be the first thing I can think of. Beyond illegal would be the second. I’m going to post tomorrow the complaint guides to go to the Federal Reserve and hope everyone still stuck here uses there voices to let them know what complete BS the IRS is doing.

[redacted B]

Update for me : nothing! Not a letter! And I haven’t even bothered to make time to call them yet! Same bullshit.
I’ll try to call them in the morning and post whatever lie I’ll get here. Best of luck to all of us!

[Shay]

Here’s the update on mine. I heard from my TA and he said that the person that is working on my has been on vacation. So I’m guessing they have a limited number of people working now. The IRS has proven to me that they are really worthless and that they can do whatever they feel with our money. It’s sad that they can take a vacay but not process our returns so that we can get our money

[Spookyrides]

@Jeannine Sorry for your loss. That makes perfect sense now, they pulled too many returns by picking on early Turbo TA users just to make the Federal Reserve happy while lacking the employees to handle them. So now there using every stall tactic just to give themselves more time. So in trying to look good and save there own pathetic jobs, we pay the price by lack of our own money. I continue to write anyone in government that I can over this and the Ferdal Attory is going to be next. None of this getting lied to is right.

[Jeannine]

Well I filed in Jan with turbo tax , called a few times was told do nothing but wait , got the under review letter wait … so I finally got a letter saying send in some stuff but I lost it , my daughter in law passed away , in the mean time I tried to call a few times .. finally got thro was then connected to the examantion dept she checked out a few things told me I had to verify my income and that my son lived with me he’s 23 .. I’ve filed the same way for yrs my income don’t change .. but I did as she said ….. BUT she told me they are so far behind that AFTER they get it that it’s be ATLEAST 6 months before someone would even look at it .. smh

[Spookyrides]

@Nope At times they will claim its only business days that they count. (What a joke!). I called again just to make sure my referral went to the IV dept. last Friday and that someone didn’t “forget” yet again. So now I have another 59 Days to wait. They said if bye then, we still don’t have it, then they can forward me to a TA. As if a TA that answers to the IRS would change things! Only department that self polices itself!

[NopeNopeNope]

In fact it’s been 61 days!

[NopeNopeNope]

Thanks, Spooky, that did the trick! They told me my 60 days weren’t up yet, but it’s been 60 days!!! I feel like I’m going crazy…

[Spooky]

@ Nope Nope Nope Call: 800-829-0582, Then pick #1 for English, then when asked, put in extension 652. Behold: you will still wait but get a live person. Be ready with all your info as they will ask the usual questions. My referral was sent last Friday to the IVO department, They have until October 10 now. Might also send a complaint into the Treasury Inspector General as that’s who the IRS answers too. Good luck!

[NopeNopeNope]

Hey everyone. I’m in the same boat as a lot of you. Tax return accepted early April, received a letter to wait 60 days, heard/received nothing back so I called the IRS and was told to allow another 60 days, and lo and behold the second 60 days has come and gone with no refund and no communication from the IRS. I tried calling the IRS (~7:30am local time) using the same phone # I used a few months ago, but it seems like their menu has changed. I tried following the procedure given at this link (which totally worked for me before),

https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4389836-i-need-a-number-for-the-irs-where-i-can-talk-to-a-real-person

but there are now only two options: one for refunds and one for ordering a transcript, both of which send you to automated phone lines.

Is there even a way to talk to a live human at the IRS anymore???

[redacted B]

Spooky, get the lube ready! We both gonna be needing it!

[redacted B]

Myself, like all of you, I’m being bent over and jabbed in the a$$!

After everything I been through, my deadline once again was August 11th. Here we are, waiting to see if WMR updates as it’s stayed the same since march! If not then I call on Monday for all the same old shit. This time they were put in a whatever to release the funds. That takes ANOTHER 60 days to process! A huge bunch of shit!

[Spooky]

@Shay…. I honestly feel the same way! I’m thinking it won’t be until next year I see my refund. After doing my second ID verify, I’m now told they didn’t send the referral to realease the funds! Duh! Now it’s sitting at the IV dept. Yet another stupid mistake and onto another 60 day hold. The IRS should be broken up completely. These folks could honestly care less if we ever get our refunds!

[Shay]

I am beginning to wonder who are the TA’s really working for. Is it the tax payers or the irs. Every time I receive a letter mine is telling me that he was unable to reach me by phone. The problem is I answer all of my calls. I give up at this point. I am starting to realize that I may never receive a refund this year.

[Kolebaby]

I filed in february. By mid March I heard nothing so I called, she said I received a letter, I said no I did not, which is why I’m calling mam, her response was oh well within the next 8-10 I would receive a letter requesting to verify. I did. I complied. By 6/20 I was verified. Here is August and I have not heard a word yet again and my wmr says “still being processed”. Turbo tax is wanting their payment. I’m in serious need of a car because my son starts school this week and I have no transportation to comply with our school on required documentation/immunizations/ etc…etc…I mean why these folks playing with a single moms money.

[Spooky]

@ All: Waiting since January, 45 day wait, then magically 60. Another 60 then ID verify in person, that didn’t count. ID over the phone, then another 9 weeks. Told if by then no refund, grab a TA then fight it. At this point I could honestly care less. Biggest unethical bunch of J-Asses I’ve ever spoken to. Something about all of this has to be against our laws but who to complain to?!? I’ll File in five months yet again, and still no damn answers or refund. I honestly quit at this point.

[Khawla Khalifa]

Still nothing..Been waiting since Feb! Hope they pay interest for the 6 months of waiting for our return. :(

[LondyBaby]

I’m supposedly waiting on a TA to call me smh she was scheduled to call me the 26th of July I’ve left several messages still no returned called I think imma jus give up it’s been since February

[Spookyrides]

@ Craig, same thing I was thinking, how much this interest is costing! Last time I called, the guy said it was “only” week three out of nine. I reminded him that I’ve been waiting “Only” six damn months for my money! I honestly don’t see us getting anything until December, if at all. None of any of this makes any sense. Either there really short on money, they are trying to make themselves look good to the fed, there that damn stupid or all of the above.

[Ashley]

I got a letter requesting evidence from a t.a. and says hopefully by the end of October it should be resolved. Then again she does work for the irs so I’ll take her word as far as u can throw it huh?

[Craig]

nothing new here either. it will be 6 months since I filed in 2 days.

I find it funny that the IRS can pay interest on all of the returns that are just sitting somewhere just to appease the FED. Maybe 10% of the flagged returns end up fraudulent and I might be exaggerating it. so imagine the IRS paying $100 on average to say one million returns. That’s $100,000,000…. I think the actual numbers are higher but still. If anyone is defrauding the government, it’s the FED.

[redacted B]

Nothing new to report. Same shit. Best of luck everyone!

[Spooky]

@Tammy yep’ these guys “working” our returns could care less. We filed in January, 45 day turned magically to 60 day, bad ID verify,another 60 days, then another ID Verify and another 9 weeks. Insanity! Welcome to the IRS, where no one cares that they owe you money, until you owe them. Then it’s days before they take it from you! Unreal!

[Tammy Jelks]

Sorry wrong date…Its been since 4/17 and the letter I received said they should be done by October 24th….That sucks!!!!!!!!

[Tammy Jelks]

I filed 1/26 and I was rejected on 1/29 U had to mail in return. They received my forms on 3/16 my bar moved and on 3/20 and said received and being processed…On 3/23/ I checked for update and it said that I was flagged for review..I send forms that they wanted and I have been in review since 2/17 and still no updayes…Sad

[Spooky]

@Chris…. Congrats man! Enjoy the money! Hopeful none of us repeat this next year.

[Chris]

For those still waiting when the end finally comes – I received my return today (overnight on schedule with when my transcripts said it would). WMR didn’t update to show that the refund was sent. Probably won’t until this Saturday I feel.

Good luck to the rest of you waiting, hope you don’t have much longer!

[Chris]

@londybaby @spookyrides

When I initially called them back in May, the lady who put in a referral for my funds to be released said that the ID department would call me if they needed further verification. But they never did.

I even asked “well don’t you normally tell people that the IRS doesn’t call – it’s all via mail? Especially with fraud and scams running amock?” She said she knew it sounded weird. I’m kind of glad they never called because I don’t know if I would have felt calm giving that sort of sensitive data over the phone.

[redacted B]

Not been here in few days. Frustrated. But as I see by all the comments and other posts absolutely nothing has changed for anyone. The folks losing their homes and cars should all file a class action lawsuit against the IRS.

I’m blessed enough not to have to rely on mine but I know plenty of folks that do. This is a horrible situation for many and I’m absolutely pissed off myself.

[LondyBaby]

That’s what the last rep told me that I would receive a call within 7 days😩

[Spookyrides]

@LondyBaby I’ve never heard of them calling anyone about anything. Usually it’s just the letters that they sometimes actually send out. Never want to go thru this BS ever again.

[LondyBaby]

Anybody waiting on a call after both 60 days are up and whatbwas the outcome I filed and was accepted February 2nd they never sent out the verification letter I was told I was waitin on 2 months ago the rep told me she doesn’t even see it being sent out and now I’m just waitin on this call which hopefully is just a call to say they are releasing my damn money

[redacted B]

This year just absolutely sucks ass!

[Ashley]

I filed Feb 16 and was accepted same day. Then got the 60 review letter about 4 weeks after filing.. waited 60 days from the date on the letter which was March 26 called the irs because we haven’t received any info or $… the lady said she would put in a referral to release funds or notify and to give it 60 days… waited about 60 days then my husband called and the lady told him that she would put a note in our account and refer him to a t.a because we had already waited after the 60 day referral which breaks their promise or something so even though we don’t have a hardship we should qualify for a t.a. and to give it 5 days for the t.a. to call… guess who still don’t have our refund, a t.a. or any info… this lady right here… wmr and transcripts haven’t updated with anything either…

[Chris]

It’s just after midnight – can confirm that my bars have appeared.

[Spookyrides]

@redacted B, yep my brotah’ our 45 day with the phantom notice never received. Guess I’m stupid as I wasted more time today and called. My ID verification has been closed out, no new notices or codes added, dud said I’m in week 3of 9 now (I count it as week 4) but whatever. Much like yourself, I’ll be Christmas shopping bye the time I see anything!

Much like yourself, looks like I’ll be Christmas shopping with our refund. Sigh…….

[Chris]

Also – I should add that WMR hasn’t updated for me at all during all this- I’ll check tomorrow – but maybe whoever posted that they aren’t updating it anymore had some foresight.

[Chris]

@redacted

I am so sorry you’re going through all that! What kind of stuff do they want you to send in to verify your income? I wonder if you’ll get a LTR12C too? I had to send in my W2, my spouse’s W2 and our 401k information. Hopefully it’s something easy like that?

My transcript updated today with an 846 code-my refund should be issued on 7/25 with $106.08 in interest.

Don’t know if all the stress and what if’s were only worth $100 some odd… but at least they’re doing right by tacking it on.

[redacted B]

Just got off the phone with them. Stupid me. Although my letter said 45 day hold their computer said 60 day hold and the lady on the phone straight told me they’re gonna make me prove my self employment income. And even at that it’ll be ANOTHER 60 day hold. So I might get my refund to Christmas shop with, MAYBE.

NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN SO ASS RAMMED!! I’m beyond pissed off!!!!!!!!!!! Ooooooh and she said they’d sent me a letter on June 11th placing my return on the 60 day hold and not just the 45 day hold btw. Such absolute horseshit!

[redacted B]

No check, no letter from irs or nothing today! If nothing by Monday I’m calling them!

[Spookyrides]

@Chris: Hate that you have to wait more, but you also proved that the rumor that the IRS will never make adjustments on their end is false. At least you have a solid timeframe now.

[Nicole]

My last letter said I would have a check within 2-3 weeks. It was dated July 2 so hopefully tomorrow I get good news :\

[Chris]

I received a CP24 today in the mail (why is it that this week is the first week in a month that my USPS informed delivery hasn’t been delivered until after my mail has been collected from our mail box? 😂😂)

Anyway, as I suspected – they said that my return was adjusted due to my estimated tax payment, I should receive payment in the next 4-6 weeks. Lol, more waiting, but it appears my saga is nearly over.

[Khawla]

Is there any legal action we can take? This is just absurd! No refund, no explanation, nothing even mentioned on the media about this mess!!! What a shame!!

[Spooky]

@redacted B, yes please update us on what the next step for you is, as I’m sure I will follow you. Had high hopes your ordeal was over, finally!

[redacted B]

WMR still not updated. Supposed to have my check today per CP05 notice.

[redacted B]

I guess I’ll probably call them when nothing comes in the mail. I’ll let you know their next stall tactic should I get one.

[redacted B]

My situation is supposed to be over today. It’s the 19th. My WMR never has updated or changed. I’ll let you all know when my mail runs, but at this point I’m in doubts myself. I hope you all get your refunds and this nightmare will be over for us all!

[Spooky]

@Chris: don’t even waste your time calling the “Idiot call center”. There certainly instructed only, to ask you questions, put you on hold, only to get back to you to say that: A. You have the Phantom letter coming, B. Your under another 45-60 day wait or C. You have to ID Verify. Biggest bunch of Ashats’ ever hired, and instructed to give you zero info. The Ferderal reserve lit up the IRS over last years bogus returns. This year we’re all paying the price! And no one at that Ashat’ agency gives a Damn Crap!!!

[Chris]

I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that something happens on Saturday. My status has stayed firmly on the we have received your return and it is being processed for the past 2-3 weeks after being stuck on the still processing and a date will be provided when available status for months.

If nothing happens this weekend – I am thinking of calling them on Monday just to poke around and see what’s going on.

[Collin]

Lol @redacted B

I think at this point lube is useless, weve all been taking the pounding for so long now that when i fart it sounds like blowing into an empty beer bottle.

Anyhow like everyone else on here i still dont have any update and i got the same “flagged for review” BS letter in the mail mo ths ago.. cant even remember when cuz its been so long. Oh well. Im sick of checking the app everydsy for an update but somehow I keep doing it. Clinging to an ikling of hope. Shits getting old real fast.

[redacted B]

Spooky, I just think of my refund check was being mailed out my WMR would’ve updated by now with only 2 days left! I keep reading where the CP05 letter is just another stall tactic. After that many folks were on hold another 60 days or longer!! Just absolutely ridiculous!

[Spookyrides]

@redacted B, someone on here updated last week on WMR, but I’ll be damned if mines been the same for over 5 months now. Your times up in two more days, rooting like hell for you and the others here! It’s horrible that there’s nothing anyone can do but hurry up and wait. I don’t even have it in me to call anymore, and of course they only use stall tactics, reverse what we were told last time, talk of phantom letters mailed etc. etc. Anything NOT TO DO THEIR DAMN JOB!

[redacted B]

Ya know I keep suggesting getting lube and being prepared for the pounding next year, but with all of us already in a financial hardship now lube just may not be an option……

Bring out the Crisco!!

[Shay]

@Lakey I got a TA back in May but still have not received my refund. He called me on June 13 and told me that all I was waiting on was for the IRS to update my amended return which would only take a matter of minutes but I haven’t back from him and I am still yet to receive a refund. I even sent documents over for a hardship. So I really can’t say that they will help. I have seen some people saying that they does.

[LAKEY]

Somebody anybody, please tell me what will this TA help me with? I’ve sent in every thing to show proof of the credits claimed on my returns for 2014 and 2015, I had been receiving my refund every year up until now, IRS states that they sent letters to me but I moved quite a bit and didnt receive the letters for being audit those years, long story short I’ve been going back and forward with the IRS for 6 months now, I got a TA, sent in all info, was told she would call me, but I only get information if I call her, she has not called me, WHATS NEXT??? Will a TA really help me? How long is the wait after all documents have been sent in?

[redacted B]

Folks I’m beginning to think myself WMR doesn’t update anymore. Mines been screwed up since April. My situation is supposed to be fixed by the 19th according to my CP05 letter or they have to request more information I guess. Sucks. Everyone get lube ready for next year and spread those cheeks apart, next year won’t be any better!

[Spooky]

@Shay….. no updates or anything.seems a few got DD dates but most of us are still sitting here waiting.

[Spooky]

@Chris, yeah… if your a weekly, we only update Saturday mornings. And we continue to hurry up and wait!

[Chris]

Also I still don’t know if the notice sent action on my transcripts refers to the LTR12C I received back in April or if it’s a new notice. There’s only one code transaction for a notice being sent on my transcripts. I’ve never dealt with that before so I have no idea.

[Chris]

All of my stuff remains unchanged. It says today is the processing due date – so I imagine that would include all of today.

Hopefully tomorrow – if not I believe I’m on a weekly cycle and those updates are pushed on Saturdays correct? So might not see any changes until then?

[Shay]

I just wanted to check in to see if anyone has received any updates. I still have not. WMAR is still saying received. I’m just curious to know if WMAR even updates.

[ticman]

My WMR says received; approved; refund sent
telling me that it was deposited in my bank on MAY16

well it never was.

i then got 4464C letter dated April 25th saying 60 days

then received CP05 letter saying review would be done by JULY 5th (45 days from May 21st letter date)

nothing. hoping for some news tomorrow 7/16 as other posters have said something about deposits on Monday.

good luck all

[Spookyrides]

Insane part that we’re now overlooking…. is, if they asked for whatever the hell it is they need….. months ago, they would have had it instead of playing these stupid stall tactics. 60 Days…. then another, then an ID verify, then another 9 weeks. Blah blah blah. And by now, the real crooks have already figured out ways around their stupid audit filters, that are only hurting real working folks! Yet another example of government Not working for the people.

[redacted B]

I’d say they’re gonna want something else since I’ve not heard anything and nothing has been updated yet. Sadly.

This sucks so bad!

[redacted B]

They still have 4 days to either issue my refund or request more information according to my CP05 letter. I guess we shall wait and see!

My WMR hasn’t updated since I lost my bars in March.

[Jamie]

Has anyone just gotten no updates at all? We got the 60 day letter initially and after that time called the number provided. We were told that all the information about the return had been pulled from the system as they were making the decision about weather or not to audit. No uptates have been given since then. (That was June 18)
No letters, no request to I’d verify, no change in the where’s my refund page. Just says still processing.
Any insight would be appreciated.

[Spookyrides]

Zero update…… like watching paint melt on the side of a barn!

[Chris]

I didn’t get any updates either. I wasn’t really expecting one when my transcripts have a processing date of 7/16. Hopefully next week I see some movement, a letter, anything.

I honestly believe that the reason mine is held up is because my CPA didn’t include the estimated prepayment I made early last year and so the IRS is showing that they owe me more than I claimed. So I probably will have to file an amended return.

[redacted B]

Well just checked and no updates for me this morning! Hope some of you others have more luck!

[redacted B]

I’m truly sorry for your loss hon!

[Jeannine]

Sorry for the late reply my daughter in law passed away .. yes it was by mail . It said they needed to verify my information and it had a lot of forms kinda like the original return except like my son that I claim is older so I needed something showing he lived with me etc . Kinda more detailed . I’m not sure why they waited this long but the did so I guess I’m officially AUDITED lol

[Xxtina]

Finally I got DDD of 7/18. Man oh man. Its been a long journey thanks to my adovocate. I did receive interest.

[redacted B]

I’m supposed to hear from them or have my check on or before the 19th. Fingers crossed!

[redacted B]

Well , let’s all just keep praying and hope for the best! The next wave of returns go out next week. Maybe we are all part of them!

[Craig]

So, I was informed that they received my paperwork and that they will be finished reviewing that by 10/26/2018. Talk about some BS!!! letter was dated July 2. I fail to see how it should take almost 4 months to check my paperwork and issue me my return. The IRS needs to be dismantled along with the federal reserve system.

I am however, going back to using my tax guy. and he is cheaper than HR.

[Shay]

I finally heard from my TA yesterday. He stated that all I’m waiting on was the irs to go in and make adjustments to my refund. When I asked how long does it take he stated a matter of minutes. They have been holding my amended refund since June 4 and I even filed for a hardship. I wish there was a way for us not to pay taxes. It’s insane how they are still able to collect taxes from us but we can’t get what is doing due to us from them. This is my last year using TurboTax if this is what is going to happen. Next year I’m using HR Block.

[Spooky]

It’s positively crazy to still be here talking about a refund when it’s the middle of July. I now feel for those that had these issues last year, but I don’t think it was as many. At this point I’ll check WMR Saturday’s as I’m a weekly, but I can’t even get excited that I may see one this year. The timeframe of the letters and lack of information is horrible. I hope those that created this mess some day have to suffer what we all have had to deal with themselves to truely understand what they have done!

[redacted B]

Yea go to H&R Block! There’s is almost flawless. You get what ya pay for I guess as they cost out the ass! I’m still waiting for an update myself here. I didn’t use turbo tax I mailed mine in. But it’s very rare they hold or audit a Block return. I’ve researched this. Turbo tax and independent filers were the main target.

[Spookyrides]

@Jeannine Damn….. very sorry! And yes it’s crazy that they waited this long for more information! This whole year has been beyond insanity and I’m sure another TurboTax users next year will be targeted. Hang in there, I’m rooting and praying hard for ALL of us!

[redacted B]

Wow…..I truly wish you the best with the audit. I’m so sorry we’re all having such issues. Not sure what or why the irs is being so mean to us all this year but sure hoping they get it straight for next!

[Jeannine]

It was a letter in the mail saying I was being audited to send in documentation and had a ton of papers … it makes no sense why did they not tell me a long time ago ?? Unreal ….

[Spookyrides]

@Jeannine Did they tell you to hold tight and wait or that they needed documents? Yes, crazy indeed at this time!

[Chris]

What sort of information is required from an audit? I’m unfamiliar?

[Jeannine]

Well I just checked my mail and got a AUDIT letter from the IRS …. unreal …

[Spooky]

@Crystal… Thanks for sharing! That lines up with what redacted B was saying is the next wave of direct deposits. Hopefully more of us will soon see the same. Enjoy getting yours!

[Crystal]

Filed turbo tax feb 2. Went through first 60 day review and my second one is up on July 15. I’ve been reading this site every week for updates. I thought I would share to give hope to people that I checked wmr today and it finally changed from still processing to 2 bars with a deposit date between July 11 & July 16

[Jeannine]

I’m STILL waiting !! I filed Jan turbo tax too .. I only called a few times there’s no point anymore .. my emergency hasn’t changed in months it’s still processing .. has been for months . Only transcripts I can seem to get is mailed they are the same as the first ones Ii got .. so yep I’m still waiting as well

[Spookyrides]

@redacted B yeah looks like we’re down to just direct deposits only on mondays now. So that timeframe would make sense. Fingers crossed everyone left here is finished by August! And yeah…. the pasta’s still ok but a steak would be good once in awhile too!

[redacted B]

I did see where it looks like there’s another “wave” of refunds starting on or around the 16th. My CP05 letter mine should be released unless they need more info from me on or before the 19th. So maybe with a little luck all of us waiting will be included in that batch????

[redacted B]

Spooky, none my way yet buddy. Still enjoying that pasta? Lol

[Spookyrides]

Sooooo, months gone bye, “phantom” letters mailed, or not. A bunch of us who filed in January. TurboTax users. The first 60 day wait. Then the next 60 Days. TA’s doing something or nothing. ID verify, then not accepted. Has Anyone seen anything positive of late?!? Only thing I can see is that the IRS website direct deposit schedule only goes until October, which I’m positive I won’t be a part of. So…. Anyone?!? Anything positive?!? Just wondering if there’s any movement or hope?!?

[Nicole]

@Shay that is kind of weird. I faxed mine originally to my TA but then had to overnight the original because they said they could only accept originals. I got a letter that my return was adjusted according to my amendment (it decrease my return) but wmr shows not receiving an amendment from me so I dunno whats going on.

[Shay]

So I received a call from my TA today and he said that the irs is requesting that I fax them a copy of my amended tax return. Even though the one that I mailed them is showing up in WMAR they still want a faxed copy. Is this normal has anyone else been through this. I’m just trying to figure out what is going on. Please advise if someone can shed some light.

[Spooky]

@Angela: I filled 1/28 too. We, the early Turbo Tax users were targeted. In all, over 9.4 million were pulled for review. I got our CP05 hold letter March 12. After the 60 days were up, I called. Told they will send a letter to release the funds, but another 60 day wait. Called again, was Told I should have gotten an “phantom” ID verify letter may 24. No letter. Made appointment to verify in person June 5, took off from work, was told in person I didn’t need to do that. 😠Called again, 5 more hours on the phone, told I was going to verify over the phone as our return was targeted due to possible fraud. Passed over to the Tax Payers Protection dept. Did the ID verify over the phone, then told he was requesting the funds to be realized, But it could take 4-9 more weeks and even after 9 more weeks, I might have to grab a TA! 😡 Insanity at its finest! And no one friggin’ cares.

[Jenelle]

I filed 2-17-2018 and have been is review since 3-12-2018. No letters, no changes as of yet. I’m holding out that I will receive a check in the mail really soon. We need it

[Angela single mom]

I filed Jan 28th , accepted Feb 1. I file the sane way ,almost same income every year through turbo tax. My taxes were accepted and the day the deposit was supposed to hit , status changed to still processing. Recieved a letter 2 weeks later saying I didn’t need to do anything they were reviewing for my safety. Its July 2nd. I haven’t received any additional information, I’m drowning in bills I usually pay off with the 4000+ $ the government is holding. This is totally insane

[Shay]

Does anyone knows when WMAR is updated? Mine was received on 6/4 and when I talked to a rep with the irs they stated that it can be until September when it is finally done processing. I have a TA helping me and I filed for a hardship. Im just curious as to when I might finally get my refund.

[Chris]

@tonlove115 –

Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM – 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: “Refund”, or it will send you to an automated phone line.

So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for “personal income tax” instead.

Then press 1 for “form, tax history, or payment”.

Then press 3 “for all other questions.”

Then press 2 “for all other questions.”

– When it asks you to enter your SSN or EIN to access your account information, don’t enter anything.

– After it asks twice, you will get another menu.

Then press 2 for personal or individual tax questions.

It should then transfer you to an agent.

[Tonlove115]

I need an accurate phone number to speak to a actual person! I had one but broke my phone and all I can find online is automated numbers. Can someone please help?

[redacted B]

My CP05 letter review is supposedly over by the 19th and Chris is the 2nd person I’ve seen with a date of the 16th. So I must assume the next “wave” of refunds going through are the week of the 16th. Fingers crossed mine and all of yours will be in that same wave!!! Say some prayers folks!!

[Chris]

Edit: the post dates are 7-16-2018

[Chris]

So after my WMR updated yesterday to reflect a new status of being processed, I checked my transcripts online today and they have all updated. I have a code 570 and a 971 and a processing date all post-dated to 7-16-22016.

Doing a little research, I found that a 570 can reflect that there is an offset between what I filed a return for and what they have? Is this true? I know that I had paid a pre-deposit in Q1 2017 that nub CPA erroneously omitted from my filed tax return, so could that be the reason behind the 570?

971 says a notice has been sent for 7-16-2018, would this be different from the LTR12C I received earlier this year in April where they required additional documentation?

My account balance is now showing a greater return than I initially had filed for, so I guess that’s cool? But does that mean I still have to wait longer or should I expect our refund around the 16 of July?

[Spookyrides]

@redacted I had to ID verify over the phone a month after my Verify letter was mailed ( we never got it) and the guy from Tax Payers Protection ( a year old division of the IRS) said he sent a request to release the funds. But it could take anywhere from 4-9 more weeks. Sigh Any damn excuse to sit on the money.

[redacted B]

Guess what Spooky…..mine is still being “processed”. Beyond ridiculous!

[Spookyrides]

@Chris They pulled 9.4 million of us for reviews. Of course they don’t have the people to handle it so here we all sit. Ridiculous.

[Chris]

@spookyrides – thanks for clarifying I hope good things to come. I’ve never had this happen before!

[Spookyrides]

@ Chris Still being processed is first so yours is moving along now. Best of luck, I’m still looking at 3-9 weeks and we filed in January. Insanity at its finest!

[Chris]

My status on WMR changed from still being processed to we have received your refund and it is being processed. Which line comes first in the timeline of processing? I feel like with this status I’ve fallen back a step? Can anyone clarify?

[Spookyrides]

@Ray…. doubt a TA will help as you need to show proof of either getting the power turned off or eviction for them to take your case, and it’s a complete crap shoot if they even work hard at helping you. For what it’s worth, we have been waiting since January 28th. There using more filters as per Trump, but don’t have enough sets of hands to handle all the returns that have been flagged. Hang in there man, our second 60 day is July 24. Can’t wait to see how they delay us yet again. Complete and total dumpster fire.

[zombie.kittie87]

F/A March 22 2018 bars disappeared 1 week later.

Recieved ID verif. April 11th 2018 and passed my verification the same day.

Recieved Cp05 notice May 16th 2018 stating not to do anything but wait till June 28th 2018

As of today I haven’t received anything asking for more information . WMR still says ” your refund is still being processed and so on”.

Anyone else on here about to hit there Cp05 letter wait date and still haven’t heard anything. I was hoping by now something would have been sent out or changed on WMR but it seems like a lot of people are still waiting after the identity verification. I filed using Turbo tax and they keep emailing me wanting the filing fees.
Never in my life have I waited this long. Even back when I use to file a paper return and get the check. I hope they get things going sometime this year at least. Good luck to everyone I will update if anything changes.

[Tashara]

Just called and was approved for an advocate, waiting on a call that is scheduled for June 28th. I figure, if I have to wait another 3 months anyway, getting one cant hurt.

[Tashara]

Just sent in all the information they needed for my audit and called and was told that they have all the information, but they are just now looking at the audits from February and March, so I can expect to have mine review somewhere around another 3-4 months…WTH!!!!!

[Spookyrides]

Treasury.Gov read up on this years returns, insane.

[Spookyrides]

9.4 Million returns held, and a processing center meant to close, so they have moved returns to another center for review. Unreal stuff….. do the google search and see why everyone is still waiting. Yet they pat themselves on the back for detecting 48% of fraudulent returns. Unreal

[Spookyrides]

@Ray…. you can only qualify for a TA if you have a disconnect letter from a power company or lost a car, apartment etc. And even then…. your results may vary as the majority on here have stated that they are about as useful as a box of rocks. Five months myself and still waiting. Hang in there man, misery loves company and god knows that this has been an unreal tax season!

[redacted B]

I mailed mine off on March 24th, got letter for ID verify form 4883 on May 1st, verified on May 7th, then on June 6th when they released MANY other refunds, I got form CP05 and was told it’s under a 45 day review until July 18th!!

I’ve heard nothing else since then. So I take it no news is good news?

[neish1917]

Ive had code 420 since 5-18. I requested a TA last week and was told I had to amend and send in proof of HOH and that my kids are mine and also my school transcript. Sent all that in this week and today my as of date to July 9. Does this mean anything?

[Ray]

filed in March. in person ID verified April 15. Got a letter saying my return is in review.
Waited 60 days and then I called. Agent submitted referral and said it can take another 60 days. WTH!! Should I now get a TA? This is ridiculous.

[Shay]

I just can’t believe that it could take until December to process a refund. I’m hoping that was a typo. This tax season is crazy and it just shows how they don’t care about playing with other people money.

[Spooky]

It’s honestly not fair to hold refunds this damn long after we have been putting our $$$ in for next year after almost 6 months. Going to continue to email, call and write anyone I can.

[Juststillwaiting]

It was in a letter they sent me back yeah it’s crazy have forgotten about it already. Lol what else can I do:(

[Spookyrides]

@juststillwaiting. 12/11/18?!? What the Hell??? Did they honestly say that without laughing? In what world could they even justify it taking that damn long?!? OMG What a hot damn joke! I’ve emailed my senator, going to keep after them all as this isn’t fair!

[Jeannine]

@spooky .. it’s really sad but u kno if we owed them money we wouldn’t have been able to wait with excuse after excuse

[Juststillwaiting]

Just like some of you filed 29th waited nothing had to amend then three days within amending overlapped by examination letter. Sent everything verified same child HOH etc…they received on 25th got letter today saying they received it and it and my response should be reviewed by get this 12/11/18 callee they said thats the time frame it could take but bpt necessarily. Now maybe they are adding time to the amended but that seems like a long to for review so yes they are behind and yes don’t expect anything to happen fast. Anyone else?

[Spooky]

@Jeannine Early Turbo filers like you and I were targeted from the start. There still using sortware that should have been shelved in 2015, but due to them already being 90+ million over budget on their new program, they have added a bunch of new filters that prompts for a human review. Biggest issue is they could care less, and don’t have enough humans to review, so here we sit and wait. Oh, by the way, last year they gave away $313 million in fraudulent returns. Nice huh? We’re 30 days into our second 60 day hold, can’t wait to see how they stall us come July, as I’m sure it’s coming: Phanton letters mailed, returns not touched until March, zero information etc. etc. Beyond the point of being illegal I’m sure.

[Mimiikei]

Some do get theirs approx. 4 weeks with a tax advocate but mines have been 8 weeks so far and still nothing.

[Mimiikei]

@shay i amended mines 4/19. Received on 4/24. Ta called june 12 says im on step 3 , which is completion processing of my refund. No update either on wmr nor wmar. Waiying for my ta cb june 29. Hopefully with a dd.

[Xxtina]

@shay about 4 weeks if you went through with a tax adovocate

[KMurph]

@Shay. IRS received my amended on the 25th of May. Spoke with representative today, and she stated it was just adjusted within the last few days, and could take a few weeks for refund. Still not showing “adjusted” on WMAR.

[Shay]

Does anyone know how long it will take for me to receive my amended return. I’m still at the first step.

[Jeannine]

I filed Jan 29 with turbo tax , I received the letter saying wait 60 days they needed to do more reviewing etc .
Then I called twice was asked a lot of questions about my return etc them was told to wait each time .. I can’t order my transcripts online only by mail . They all say the same things .. my WMR still says still processing and has never changed … so IM STILL WAITING ..

[redacted B]

How many of you got the CP05 letter after verifying your identity and then got audited? Seems like although they claim to audit so few several are right here on this thread!

[TaShara Patrick]

@Kimmy This is the first time I have every posted, but I have been on here from the beginning. My situation is basically exactly like yours, but I assume a couple weeks ahead. Filed on Jan 29th and the rest is history. I called on 05/23 and was told that they will send out a letter on 06/11 because I was being audited as well.

Received my letter in the mail on 06/14 with and entire packet asking me to prove my head of household standing, wages, dependants, and dependant care. I faxed all my info in on 06/15 and when i called the number on the line it stated that you have to give them 10 days before you can call and asked if they received everything, and upto another 60 days to have the review resolved. Hope this helps.

[redacted B]

@Spooky, I had to ID verify on May 7th. Then waited 4 and a half weeks and got the CP05 letter. So let’s wait and see and keep our fingers crossed!! Everyone say a little prayer for each of us and hopefully we all will be resolved very very soon!

[Spooky]

@ redacted B, were July the 24th. Will be interesting to see if they release the funds, request even more info, or put us on another 45-60 day wait. Maybe they can make me waste time and go an ID verify a second time, then be told I didn’t have to. It’s honestly beyond funny yet frustrating at the same time.

[redacted B]

My situation still remains the same! My 45 day CP05 is up on July 18th. Hopefully it ends then or before. This year tax season sucks like a cheap hooker!

[Spooky]

@Kimmy, We mirror you within 4 days. You should qualify for a TA though in a few weeks. Come July 24 I’m definitely grabbing one as I can see this going on until the fall. Complete and total rubbish! By an agency that’s using outdated sortware and complaining there overworked ( like none of us are!). . Garbage, complete utter garbage!

[Kimmy]

My frist 60 days was on March 7 then I had another one put in which was the referral on May 7 then it went into examination then it went to another department and now it’s going to the audit department I just don’t know anymore it’s crazy.

[Spookyrides]

@Robin, we’re up July 24th. At that point on their advice, I can go get a TA. I then qualify because, if no funds are released, they break their own rules. Yup crazy. Just thankful we haven’t lost a lease or vehicle like others have. Hopefully the next few weeks bring myself and others closure on this mess of a Tax year. Talk next year I suppose, go and enjoy that refund and whatever you do with it!!!

[Robin]

@spookyrides That is absolutely ridiculous. I’m sorry you wasted a day of work and they are still giving you the run around. When is the end of your second 60 day Mark?

@Kimmy I agree with spookyrides probably just another stall tactic. I only received one letter and was never asked for anything. Praying everything works out.

[Spookyrides]

@Robin Congrats! @ Kimmy, probably another 60 day hold letter. But that should be the end of it as they either have to release the funds or pay interest and tell you what they need. I took off from work Friday to ID verify in person, only to be told I didn’t have to. I was also told that if they don’t release the funds at the second 60 day Mark, I then qualify for a TA as they have broken their own rules. Crazy year for sure. 4 more weeks for us.

[Kimmy]

So In this week news for me is that I’m being audited I won’t know what they need from me untill the 25th when they send out the letter that I will never receive cause I have never received any letter they sent out i only know so much cause I call how does that make any since please someone explain that

[Robin]

F/A 2/9
Cp05 3/26-5/10
I called the 10th they told me they had until 5/19 I still hadn’t heard anything, I called back 5/29 they referred a release/response told me another 60 days.

So I’m in my 2nd 60day wait. I sent over my form 911 for a TA Tuesday 6/12 got a call wed from the TA but I missed the call and have been trying to get back in touch with her. (Im in michigan) checked today and wmr updated said approved with a refund date of 6/20 and I did recieve some interest. Hang in there everyone.
My 846 code also says 6/20. I’ll keep praying for you all and let you know it I get my deposit

[Tesha Youngrose]

I filed my taxes January 31st. My taxes were accepted by the IRS and now have been in review since February. It’s now June 15th. I’ve called and received no explaination except that they are in review. Nothing has changed about my return except for my income increased.

[Chris]

To add, I also haven’t received any additional mailings post – referral. I thought I would have had something by now considering it’s been 3 weeks but I guess they have a different timeframe in mind….

[Chris]

I guess I would have fallen under the referral then as the woman I spoke to on the phone a few weeks ago said that she was pushing a referral to release my tax return after the funds had been allocated to an identity theft protection area of my account.

She told me they had 12 weeks to resolve the issue though. This is just stupid. While I’m not hurting for the money – it would just be nice to have it and pay off a chunk of the mortgage.

[Jeannine]

What’s a referral ???

[Spooky]

Well I went for my ID verification today and was told that I really did not need to do that. I asked then why I was instructed to do so and the women I was talking to said she honestly didn’t know. She did say that my return was processed but frozen and they still have until July 24th. to release the funds. At That point, I then would qualify for a TA as they would have broken their promise to release the funds after sending over the referral letter. So for those that don’t qualify for a TA for financial reasons, you will if they don’t resolve the issue after the referral, within 60 more days. She also said not to do an amendment, just let it ride for now. This is just beyond crazy.

[Xxtina]

My tax advocate has been amazing!! I hand delivered her all my papers she wanted. She told me it was about 4 week process because I had to go through 2 departments at the irs. Im finally waiting to for my refund to be release she told them to release it yesterday and they have 5 days to get back to her. I def will get my DDD next week. She has been on top of the game. Finally!!! I filed since January 23rd thats when it was accepted. Got a tax advocate May 18th. If it wasn’t for her I would have never even been close to getting my refund.

[Mimiikei]

Ive been viewing this Facebook group.. Igotmyrefund/facebook. They have alot of taxpayers waiting and are in varieties of situation but they do post dd and their experiences. Alot those with referral on there, got there refund average around 2 to 3 weeks if approved by exam. Dept. Im following for updates, especially those in the same situation. I got my referral may 24, 60 day review was up may 22. I will be keeping my fingers crossed for update by june 14 hopefully. My tax advocate seems like she not interested in my case, had her for 7 weeks and counting. Next cb is june 12..but dnt think she will have good news, im assuming that since i havnt updated anything on wmr. I contacted a member of congress Last week May 30 and faxed over Privacy Act to obtain info but she did say the irs responded to her request and hopefully i havr mine’s 2 wks or less in her words. hopefully is the #keyword. But honestly im just tired of waiting.

[Mimiikei]

I’ve been viewing this group on Facebook. Igotmyrefund/Facebook. There have been a lot of taxpayers that are still waiting and in the same situation as I am and others. I seen some that have had referrals, an average around 2 to 3 weeks to get their refund. I will just keep my fingers crossed to see any updates in the next two weeks. Also I have a tax advocate thats been on case for 7 weeks now. My next call back will be June 12th, but I’m assuming she will not have any good news for me since i hvnt had any update on wmr. she also acts like she’s not interested in my case but I did contact a member of the congressman on May 30th, I faxed over a privacy at to obtain information. She did say that the IRS responded to her request and was aware of my situation. Hopefully I will have my refund in 2 weeks or less in her words. #Keyword is hopefully. I’m just tired of waiting.

[redacted B]

My WMR still the same! Still processing. This entire situation sucks more hairyballs than a 70’s pornstar!! Anyone update recently??

Yeah i see that now, but i seen on a igotmyrefund facebook forum..where it could take 2 to 3 weeks after a referral.

[Spooky]

@Khawla, sorry to hear of another, in this hot dumpster fire of a mess! I wouldn’t mind the waiting so much if they would just tell me what’s going on but it seems we don’t even have the right to that knowledge. Stall after stall after stall. I wrote my local congressman about this year, probably won’t do much good but I Suggest everyone does, can’t hurt. Oh we’ll tomorrow’s my ID Veriry, can’t “wait” to see how much longer I still have to wait!!!

[Mimiikei]

Anyone knows whats the last step of examination process.

[Khawla]

Hi everyone.. another person here waiting n waiting n waiting for the stupid refund! Filed using turbotax on Feb. been asked twice to wait for 60 days.. no explanation .. no details. Spoke to a TA who promised to get back to me and still have’t heard from him. So frustrating !
Hope they pay us interest on each day of delay at least. I read that they do and it’s 5%.
This is the first time for me to go through this nightmare and hope it’s the last time.

[redacted B]

Folks it just sucks. It really does. They need to release our funds. I’m not relying on mine as some are but they’d certainly help. I feel so badly for the folks that are homeless and helpless while waiting for their returns.

I was trying to make a joke about the situation, but to many this isn’t a joke at all.

[Spooky]

@Jeannine I don’t think the phone questions are the ID verify, just a demented way for them to take a coffee break while “ your on hold”. There using an outdated fraud program while they wait on there new one that has already gone $88 milllion over budget and they blew about $313 million in fraudulent returns last year, not a good track record, so this year we all are getting penalized. I’m heading in for a face to face ID verify this Friday. Then I’ll have to amend and wait another 9+ weeks. Get an advocate again or be prepared to wait. And call up your local senior or congresswomen and bitch so this doesn’t happen next year like it looks like it will.

[Jeannine]

@spooky rides
I was afraid to call since some people were saying it makes u have to wait longer .. when I had called a long time ago the lady asked me a million question about my last yr return and my son info etc is that the ID verification ????? I requested my transcripts but I can only get them by mail .. and yes I did get a letter a long time ago .. I had this same thing happen the yr before last and the letter looks almost the same .. then I had to get an advocate .. it’s just no reason for all this insane excuses …

[Mimiikei]

I just received a call from my tax advocte. She told me that they just finished the 2nd step of my refund , now has to go the last step. I was hoping for a dd but at least she told me that they were moving it along. Said they should be done june by 29. Wtf. Fot to wait another 17 days to hear something else. And anyone can tell what is the last step!! I amended mines on 4/19

[redacted B]

This is crazy folks. There’s good people out here that have lost their homes and everything over not getting their tax returns. Let’s ALL call our congressman and make this known and how the IRS is messing with us!!!

[Spookyrides]

The “nice” agent I talked to today stated that until I ID verified with my letter that I never received, from 3 weeks ago, my return would just continue to sit there. Unreal.

[Robin]

Thanks for the heads up! That is crazy. And the press should have been involved it makes no sense for all this to be happening to so many people and seems to be the honest ones. But I’m praying everyone gets theres soon. This is so stressful. I almost feel like if we wait and not call that’s going to hurt us just as much as calling too much. Like we’re I a lose lose situation.

[Spookyrides]

@Robin if they give you the bs that they sent a letter you never received, for the ID verification, ask for them to put a note in your account that you need to call to set up an in person appointment to ID verify. If they don’t put that in your notes, you can’t get to the next step. Yep’ I agree, insanity at its finest after I got “ lectured” from the nice IRS man today that there overworked and it was my fault. Unreal. Any who…. lets pray that the press begins to run with this, only way next year will be better. Hang in there, I’ll report back after my fun filled meeting with them Friday. Just can’t wait to get lectured yet again.

[Robin]

Holy fuck thats ridiculous! Now I wanna call again to see if they need me to verify my ID. Thats crazy. Im 4 months in myself 😔😖

[Spookyrides]

@Robin, only way to know if your a daily or weekly is to watch when the WMR updates. Weekly Only update Saturday mornings. Daily’s can update I think 4 times a week. Worst part is if your a weekly, your stuck at that for 10 years until cleared.

[Spookyrides]

PS: Early TurboTax Filers were indeeed targeted as Turbo uses a “ test batch” each year to and from the IRS. And of course ALL of us were targeted for fraudulent returns without even knowing it! 4-5 months have past, and just now I’ve learned that I have to ID verify! So why couldn’t they tell me that 5 months ago?!? The article online from the Indiana Congresswomen states that there using defunct and outdated software that targets too many true filers and there $68 million over budget to make something better while having paid out $313+ million in bad returns. What a HOT DAMN MESS,!

[Robin]

That’s absolutely ridiculous. They told me I was in second stage of waiting but haven’t requested anything from me. Nor sent anything else. How do I know if I’m weekly or not?

[Spookyrides]

@Jeannine: Call Again. Did you get a CP05 letter in the mail yet? Sounds like your return is still sitting there like most of us. You need to ask if your in the second 60 day hold or at the ID verification stage. We are Into our second 60 day hold & I was told that they had sent out a letter requesting me to make an appointment to ID verify. Of course I never got it. So this Friday I have to go and meet in person armed with my documents. Cool right? Nope! I’m told after the verification it can be up to another 9 weeks for the return. Horrible! There’s an article online about a Indiana Congresswomen who is demanding that the IRS release all our funds. Hope the News agency’s pick this up and run with it! Hang in there but call again to see where your at.

[Jeannine]

I ordered my transcripts but I only can by mail , they’ve never changed tho .. I filed turbo tax Jan 29 , my WMR says still processing received a letter long time ago saying they needed more time , I called twice in the beginning was told to wait .. and yep I’m STILL WAITING

[Shay]

I finally heard back from my TA. I had to file an amended return. The TA said that my return should complete by July 19. I’m wondering if that means I will have my money by then. If anyone know or have been in this situation please enlighten me. Btw I sent my amended return off on 5/30.

[Spookyrides]

@Robin, we received our CP05 March 12 so I’m a little bit before you. I’ll request by mail, our transcripts again an see if anything’s changed (probably not). Zero update and I’m a weekly too. Hang in there, it’s all any of us here can do. The cycle codes mean nothing at this point honestly.

[Robin]

Okay, so I finally got my transcripts but I don’t understand the cycle date. What does that mean?

And from what I can tell nothing’s changed on mine since they sent out the notice CP05 March 26th. And Im in the second 60 day period.

Did anybody recieve any updates on transcripts while in these stages? My code still says 570 & 971. 😔😖

[Vee]

Thanks @redacted B! I def will this tax year has been a nightmare. Just try to hang in there.

[redacted B]

@Vee , congratulations!!! Please think of us less fortunate ones! Lol

[Vee]

WMR updated today, looks like I should have my refund on Wednesday

[redacted B]

Well, I’m blessed I guess then bc I’m outta the verification process and am now into only a 45 day thingy here with my CP05 letter lol. All I can do about it is laugh honestly lol.

[Spooky]

@Roslyyn, Your in the second 30-60 waiting period. Keep seeing if your transcripts update

[Vee]

@mimiikei yes I got a referral at the end of my first 60 day waiting period. I also had a TA but I don’t think he did anything. I received a letter from my TA saying my case will be closed on 5/29 bc he didn’t receive my paperwork that I sent like 5 times. This is the first update on my transcripts beside the as of date changing.

[Mimiikei]

Any updates on transcripts

[Mimiikei]

@Vee did you get a referral

[Vee]

After waiting130 days from the time I got accept on Jan 29. I’m currently in my second 60 day waiting period. I got a 4464C letter date for February 27. My transcripts updated saying refined issued as of 6/13. Fingers crossed I get it on Wednesday.

[Roslyn Davis]

Is still saying after 60 days and now I called the IRS and they put a referral but it’s still saying the same thing what to do

[redacted B]

Yea definitely discrimination. All of us fit the same profile almost exactly. Very sad.

[Spookyrides]

@redacted yep’ EIC, small business loss and education loan credit. Our small business has suffered as I haven’t had the funds to buy in bulk. The sad part about all of this is I’ve just about given up. If it comes great but but this is beyond crazy. I’m thinking maybe August- September for me.

[redacted B]

@Spooky, did you claim EIC? I’m self employed and claimed EIC, I think it’s discrimination myself.

[Spooky]

@Mimiikel: my “letter for realese or a letter to be sent to me” began May 12th., after the initial 60 day hold. Watch and see on July 11th. I’ll get mailed a letter requesting information or something stupid, just so they can delay me some more. I’m done wasting my time calling them for zero info or help. F’ the whole damn bunch of them. Government serves its citizens? Not from this department.

[redacted B]

We may as well all become friends on fb. At least then we know each other on a more personal level since we’re all getting pounded by the BIG c**k known as the IRS. I’m a little upset I still haven’t gotten a reach around myself.

[Mimiikei]

@ Spooky when did they put in a requests to release after your 60 days. In my second 60 days too. It is ridiculous and i stop calling too. My TA is not helping me. Scheduled to call me bck june 12th but im assuming it want be good news. Smh

[Spooky]

@redacted B: When I got the CP05 letter, I was told it was a 45 day hold, then after 45 was told that info was incorrect, it was a 60 day hold. After the 60 day hold, I got the “letter to release funds” spiel in which they have anywhere from 30-60 more days. So the new time would be about July 12th. Not ho,ding my breath. I’m not even calling anymore. At this rate I’m so disgusted I figure I’ll go Xmas shopping when I finally get it. Ridiculous

[Robin]

F/A 2/9
Cp05 3/26-5/10
I called the 10th they told me they had until 5/19 I still hadn’t heard anything, I called back 5/29 they referred a release/response told me another 60 days.
Which will be towards the end of July. I’m over it all. Tried to get a TA but they keep transferring me to irs. It’s a shit show.

[redacted B]

Oh and Robin, I’ve not ordered my transcripts. I just keep checking my WMR. That’s all.

[redacted B]

@Robin, I had to verify my identity with form 4883c and that was a month ago, then just yesterday for the CP05 telling me another 45 days. I’m beyond upset about this!! How long you been waiting?

[Robin]

@redacted B
Wow, Im sorry to hear that. Which letter/notice did you start with? I only received the one CP05. But I’m still waiting.

How long after you guys ordered your transcripts by mail did you get them? Im still waiting on those as well Its been over a week.

[redacted B]

SPooky, you’re living life good buddy if you can afford the Olive Garden brand dressing!! I’m still using wishbone as I got the 10/10.00 sale at Kroger’s!

Can you believe after ALLL this I got the CP05 forms yesterday!??! Yup another 45 day wait!

[Spooky]

@redacted B, me too. Same oke’ Same. But I only update saturdays as I’m a blessed weekly! my Pasta Loving friend! ( by the way try the new Olive Garden Dressing on the Pasta, top notch for a broke family!).

[redacted B]

Mine still says “still processing”. Anyone else updated recently?

[Spooky]

@Mimiikei: maybe but probably not. After a referral to disperse the funds, were all looking at 30-60 more days. Try pulling your transcripts either online or mailed to you, see what new codes they are showing. Best of luck, this tax season is unreal!

[Mimiikei]

So is it true i could possibly get my refund in 2 to 3 weeks after a referral?

[KMurph]

I called and spoke to my TA. Finally looks like I am getting somewhere. She stated that the IRS has received my amended, and she gave until June 8 for it to be worked. She said I should hear something by June 26th, but hopefully earlier. Nothing has changed in WMAR or WMR.

[Chris]

Mine has been stuck in this limbo for a while now of still being processed. We filed on March 19 and only started getting curious once I received LTR12C around April 20th.

It said they needed pages 1 & 2 of my return, verification of income, and (if applicable) any installments I may have made during 2017. The CPA I used for 2016 had given me an installment schedule to which I made one for Q12017 and then I switched up my withholdings so that I could avoid making huge deposits throughout the year as I feel it stings a bit less going out every paycheck rather than one large sum.

But my CPA didn’t declare it on my tax return even though I had provided them the stub for it in my folder. So I’m thinking this has something also to do with it.

Anyway, so a month passed and I still haven’t heard anything, WMF says the return is still being processed, so I call. The first woman I spoke with said that my return was filed as an extension, which I found weird since I’m due a return, so why would I file it as such? Then she put me on hold and said my funds were flagged as identity theft and proceeded to ask me a bunch of verification questions about my 2017 return. She said I passed and she put in a referral for someone to start looking at my return.

Well after sitting on that information overnight I got paranoid and called again. What exactly does ID theft mean? Did my identity get compromised, do they think I did something? l just didn’t get it. So the next day I spoke to another lady and she said that I the woman from before had done everything correctly and that I should hear something within 12 (!!!!) weeks!

Anyway, so after googling and coming here, I’ve been looking at other various things – my transcript on the website says only two things, 1) about the extension of October and 2) my quarterly installment that I paid April 2017. Everything else is blank, it says no return filed. My CPA isn’t helping much and I’ve never had something like this happen before.

2016 me and my partner owed money, and now the IRS owes us because we increased our withholdings. So maybe that massive swing in withholdings set something off?

Not in a position to contact a TA as we wouldn’t qualify – I just want our refund!

[Jeannine]

I’ve posted here before but just get more aggravated when I check to see what’s going on .. I filed Jan 29 turbo tax . I called a few times only to be told wait 60 days . It was early when I called last time was beginning March I think … I have ordered my transcripts online and it always tells me something stupid so I stopped got them by mail always excatly the same things haven’t gotten them in a while . I had this happen the year before last I even compared the 60 review letters almost the same as well … I got a TA then took forever so this year I’m waiting , and WAITING .. so my WMR has ALWAYS said processing never changed so I guess I won’t kno if or when anything updates .. this is all crazy

[richard]

@redacted B They didn’t send anything in the mail when my refund was supposed to be deposited I call 3 days later and the maid my an appointment to come in the IRS office for 2months later which was in may it says it should be sent to my bank by 6/6/ 2018

[ShallowWaters]

Sorry I meant @Spooky

[ShallowWaters]

@Spookyrides I am so right there with you. 4 years ago this happened and they held my refund for 8 months! I gave up on it and then one day it was there. I did what you had done and started a small business that would have taken off nicely had they not have kept putting me off, claiming I was under review when all it was was holding on to my refund for more money in their pockets.

I’m surprised I saw it actually, however this year, I won’t be seeing it unless my tax atty can get this ball rolling but I doubt it, given it’s the IRS.

USA is about the wealthy, not the poor or the masses as it was first intended. There is no American dream anymore, unless that dream is to be broke a** for the rest of your life. We get put down for trying to make life better….I guess its best left to the ppl born with silver spoons in their mouths.

This is not what our fore father fought for and they would be ASHAMED of the mess this has become. We have advanced in so much and yet taken a back seat to other things. We are becoming a 3rd world nation with 1st world advancements.

SMH

I’m ashamed to be called an American at times…this is one of those times. What did my father fight so hard for in all the wars, and my cousins and my uncle. What did some of them die for? Was it this? I think not.

[redacted B]

@Spooky @Shallow, we’re all bonding on here and becoming misfits lol. However, we should all get our refunds around the same time. Except mine will be mailed.

@Spooky, no pasta here tonight, I splurged and got a medium pizza from dominos lol

Fingers crossed we all get some sorta WMR update Tuesday or Wednesday!!

The irs next year needs to put lube distributors out like redbox. Type in our information and get our free bottle of lube. That’s the least they could do. Sons a b!$&@#s

[Spooky]

@ShallowWaters: I agree on all points. Stupid last person I talked to claimed I was targeted due to a “larger then normal refund”. I replied back that it was because I had a 10k+ small business loss, something that my wife and I sank our life savings into, to start out. This year would have been better, but due to no refund, we can’t buy enough product to support the business. So much for the D*MN American Dream! My advice to anyone wishing to work a real job and then start another business, on top of your normal job, to better yourself and family: DONT DO IT!!! Even if you loose money, you will never see it from the IRS! Keep us posted Shallow! Even if it takes the rest of the year, get what’s legally yours. This country has simply become the very rich….. and the rest of us. The American Dream of small business is impossible. Time to make some more damn pasta……

[ShallowWaters]

@Spookyrides

This whole year has been BS and they next year will be worse. I’m out for the count, I’ve beyond had it.

I don’t know why we don’t all just rise up and revolt. Hell if this was South America we would but no, sadly once most Americans get their money they forget move on, until next year.

They are hurting us all.

I’m sorry you are going through this.

Honestly after speaking to all the ppl I need to speak to, it will most likely (if that) I won’t get mine refund until probably next year at some point (again, if I do) bc it will be long, drawn out and it will cost me more in the end to fight for it than to let it go. And those MF know it. They know they can do this and we won’t fight…. I’ll pay the extra just to prove a point, even it if its moot in the grand scheme of things.

[redacted B]

@Spooky, I’m located in Indiana. If we’re waiting until August then I’m definitely coming over for some Mac and cheese lol!! I told myself last week when my refund gets here, IF my refund gets here, I’m treating myself to a steak dinner lol

[redacted B]

@Spooky, it’s a sad situation. It really is. If I may suggest your next spaghetti dish as, cook the spaghetti about half way, then take it out of the water, in a skillet splash a bunch of Italian dressing, then throw your spaghetti in it, cook on med high for about 12 minutes, and you try that and tell me it’s not absolutely gorgeous!! Yes, I too, am in the pasta stages. Lol. When to broke to make my own red sauce, wishbone Italian, here is come! lol

[Spooky]

@redacted B: I have a funny feeling come August we will still be posting about no changes. I’m lucky that I haven’t lost so much like many others, but damn, we have had to cook Pasta 30+ ways to eat. The TA’s remind me of folks who aren’t as heartless to work in the IRS. But they have very little powers. Meanwhile…. another few hundred plus in taxes paid out from my last paycheck. Mac N Cheese…. here I come!

[redacted B]

And I will add I verified my identity on May 7th. I was told then I could check my WMR app and follow the process after 24 hrs. It’s never changed once!

[redacted B]

@Spooky, yes they clearly had targets this year. It’s very sad and like it’s been said before, it needs reported to CNN or FOX news!! They’re clearly abusing their “powers” and making many suffer. By god if we owed them it be a different story!!!!! This is just terrible. Some folks have been evicted and lost everything bc they depend on and rely on their refunds.

An update on my situation. None to give. It’s been the same since April. I mailed mine in at the end of March. They’re a joke.

[Kimmy]

I still haven’t been able to get in I wonder what’s going on I really don’t want to call but looks like imma have to

[Spooky]

@redacted B: I too have been following this mess, and agree with you that it seems they targeted the early Turbo filers as it makes sense that the scammers would want to be part of the early “test batches” that Turbo uses each year. Strange too that it seems Turbo knew it, hence while they were giving a heads up that they were taking their cut either way. Next year I’m planning on waiting a few weeks because I’ll bet they target the early returns yet again. It’s not like we would get it any faster anyhow.

[redacted B]

Kimmy, they may just be updating their system is all.

[Kimmy]

So I basically check wmr everyother day an have always been able to get in and see no progress and as of Tonite after being under review and 2 60 day reviews I have not been able to get in and check anything can anyone tell me if they are having the same problem something about my information does match

[redacted B]

I’ve been reading a lot of other topics on here boys and girls and it seems in many cases WMR never updates at all and folks are either just getting checks in the mail or DD without any warnings. So everyone be sure to check your mail DAILY and your bank accounts often and try NOT to call the irs directly unless you’re instructed to by them! Yes I know that’s hard, I too, have called at least once a week since I got bent over and dry jabbed like the rest of ya when I had to verify my identity.

[Spookyrides]

@ShallowWaters That blows Big Time! I just don’t understand how as tax payers we aren’t protected from this crap. I have a huge small business loss from last year. Put every penny into it and needed the refund to purchase stock for this year. Needless to say the business plans are hurting due to the refund being tied up. Zero accountability, no one friggin, cares, no one to call. It’s like they can do whatever they want because no one can challenge them on it. And this Path Act crap from our current administration hurts the working folks big time. Anywho….. I’ll be rooting hard for you. As for me….. “ just wait” maybe until I’m filing next years at this rate.

[ShallowWaters]

@redacted B… I’ve posted my situation on here a lot but here is a quick rundown.

Filed Jan 22
Accepted 23

Checked back a week later bars all missing with a message: Your tax refund is still being processed” blah blah blah

Never got the PATH ACT that I know of.

Claimed 5 dependents all legit all that I have claimed every year since the first one came into this world 17 years ago.

Called got told I was under review in March, NO ACTION NEEDED to get wait. So I did…called back again told 60 day review then 90..again nothing needed from me.

A couple of weeks ago I noticed I was having issues with a prepaid debit card (the one I always get my refund on bc it’s quicker…normally than my bank) I went to order a second card and it wouldn’t let me. Been with this company for years…. I was like…wth. So I sent off an email as I was too busy to call. Heard nothing back….sent one again….finally a after a third very stern email I was contacted by my bank to let me know the IRS had flagged my account for fraud. WTFH???? And they closed my account without telling me or anything…. which also sucks because I also get my pay from one of my clients on there…. so without telling me closed my account and haven’t even sent me my closing balance or anything and now I am in a fight with them.

As for the IRS…no one will help, no one will answer questions as to why they think it was fraud…the account was in my name and my name was on the tax forms…as normal. So, IDK…either way they cancelled my refund and I am having to see a CPA and a tax atty to see wth hell I have to do now.

BASTARDS.

The IRS needs to be abolish…they won’t be getting another red cent from me other than exactly what they are owed. Changing my exemption status.

[Spooky]

@redacted good advice as each time I call they note the account. But this is waaaaay beyond a reasonable wait period, and questioning where our money, not theirs is, shouldn’t get us penalized. I’m overworked and underpaid like most folks today are. Doesn’t mean I can’t still do my job effectively. They used to issue the refunds, then do the reviews over summer, making the adjustments either way. Seems now the reviews are done up front. From talking to a TA (I don’t qualify) they said that next year it will be even worse. This may very well be the new standards of waiting. There has to be a better way, but I’m not holding my breath that there is since it seems no one who works there gives a damn.

[redacted B]

@Richard, what forms did they send you in the mail?

[redacted B]

@Richard, that’s a good question if/when I get a check I’ll let you know lol. If it said sent to your bank then I’d assume direct deposit.

[richard]

I filed in March had an appointment with irs office on may 24 2018 to review my wages or IDentity. Everything was fine one week later (wmr) change from we received your refund and it is still being process a refund will be avilable to your refund has been process to waking up this morning the bars are back and it say received and approve and it states your refund is to be sent to your bank by June 6 2018..what this being said just have patient its coming..

I do have a question if any one can help my out. So will my funds still go to my bank or I will get it in a check form since its be about 3 months…Thanks

[redacted B]

@Sjm, very awesome !!! Very happy for you!! Keep those of us still getting bent over in your thoughts!! I’m still waiting for a reach around, you’d think they’d at least give me that lol!

[SJM]

After the long wait ,since 1/27 and getting a tax advocate my WNR FINALLY updated yesterday to where I can see my DDD of 6/6.Its been a long time coming! I pray you all receive it soon as well.

[redacted B]

@Spooky,
I was told by a tax professional recently that the more we call the irs the longer the process can take and it will flag our accounts for other reviews. So best not call them as it brings attention that we don’t need.

That’s just some helpful advice. They’re short staffed and overworked and under paid. Let all just try to get through this!!

[Spooky]

“Wait”……..over and over again. Can’t get any info, can’t forward anything they need, can’t get anyone to care! But of course you can get worthless badge numbers, as if that would help!! Five months and counting…… I’m sure sixth will come with zero updates.

[Ms Natalie]

@redacted my wmr never updated has always said still processing

[redacted B]

Join the club. I haven’t heard anything either after verifying my identity.

[Kristina]

Filed injured spouse on 3/19…… Still haven’t heard a thing.

[redacted B]

Ms Natalie, when did your WMR update?

[Ms Natalie]

Well finally I’ve got a check mail date as of 6/8and I did have an identity theft issue after being told by the fraud department I had to wait 180 days before I would hear anything .I waited 3 months and heard nothing and decided to get an advocate 5/15 and I know have a mail date of 6/8 I was told It had to be a paper check mailed to me “because” of the identity theft issue so I wonder how long this sh*t gonna take but I’m really grateful for the advocate because if it wasn’t for her I would be still waiting

[Shay]

Omg….I finally heard back from my tax advocate. They said my issue should be resolved by July 19. I don’t know if this means that I will have my refund by then or not but it’s been 4 months since I filed and I am tired of waiting. I’m hoping that I will have my refund because I sure could use it.

[Xxtina]

My transcript updated to a 571 code saying resolved additional account action. Anyone knows what that mean.

[Robin]

Congratulations to all who have an update.

Everytime I call to get a TA involved they transfer me to the irs accounting department which tells me the same thing I already know. That Im in my second 60 day wait. Im in michigan so I guess my next step is to try to and fax over the app for a TA. And continue to wait. 😣😖😔

[Laura]

I would definitely recommend everyone still waiting contact a TA, I’m in Mass and mine didn’t even ask me for any proof of hardship I just faxed over the TA request to my local office and someone contacted me a few days later. I also wanted to mention the IRS did apply the interest to my return so I’ll be getting back a little more than planned. Good luck everyone!!

[Latrice Jackson]

I finally after 3 months got my refund at the beginning of May, my TA told me if anyone is still having issues no matter where you are get a TA in your area, because it may take even longer waiting for them to keep reviewing it she said she’s seen people file in January and not get anything until September, they waited it out so please get one if your getting the run around.

[redacted B]

Momof6, please keep us updated. Mines been 4 weeks and nothing yet. I think this identity thing is actually an audit, only the irs is keeping it secret. They’re auditing folks with low income or that claim the eic. That’s what I’ve gathered wtf else would it take 9 weeks to give folks their refund?!!? And in some cases much longer!

[Momof6]

So, I filed 3/25 and was accepted the same day. My husband and I had to wait for a corrected W-2 before filing, not sure if that was why we were “selected” for review or not. We got a letter about 2 weeks later stating we were randomly selected for review that could take up to 45 days. We waited patiently, called at day 46, and were told that they have 60 days, not 45, to do their review. We asked if they needed more information, and were told no, just wait. We were told the 60 days will be up on June 10. I am just so very frustrated. Our tax return was a very simple one (barring the corrected W-2, but I waited to file until we had that in hand). I guess we will call again on June 10. I am wondering if it will be time to file again before we get our return though. I keep checking WMR, but it says, “We are still processing your return” and TT 152. I hope when we call on June 10 they will give us more information.

[redacted B]

@Laura CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Wish us all luck please!! Lol

[laura]

FINALLY!! F/A 1/29 got 4464c dated 2/27 called another 60 days got a TA middle of May and finally my transcript updated today with the 846 refund issued for 6/6!!

[redacted B]

I’m so absolutely pissedoff!!! What’s going on at the IRS this year, is it just one big giant suckfest going on in their offices???? If so by all means invite us to come join the fun as this dry humping and no lube treatment is degrading!!! I’m beyond mad at this!!!

My WMR still hasn’t updated!! It’s “still being processed”. MyAss!

Filed: 1/29
Accepted 1/29

Was told by TurboTax to mail in proof of insurance for a $7 credit for having health insurance. Sent.
Called IRS, they said they got it.
Months pass, I get a letter saying they need more info. I said I have no other info, and wrote them a certified letter.
Letter Arrived April 5th.
Called TA last week, they said they would get in touch with my today, no call so far.
Every time I have called IRS they say 9 more weeks. 9 More weeks, this has never happened to me before.
I don’t care about the 7 dollar credit I just want my refund.

[Robin]

@redacted B
I’m not sure if I’m posting this correctly. But I’ve been reading everyone’s stories and figured I’d tell mine.
E-Filed 2/9
Accepted 2/9
Bars disappeared 2/18
Received CP05 3/26 (45 days to end 5/10)
Called 5/10 they said they had until the 19th to finish the review. Still nothing sent out nor did they ask for verification of anything. So I just waited….
5/29 I called again and they said that they’ve had way more than enough time to finish the review and process it. So he was going to do the referral to release my refund and/or send me something letting me know whats going on. Which it could take another 60 days. 😣😣
So my question is did you all have to wait the full 60 days after the referral for your refund? That puts me basically at the end of July. I’ve never had this happen and its extremely frustrating!!

[redacted B]

@Shallowwaters, also, how’d you just find this out?

[redacted B]

@Shallowwaters, did you also have to verify your identity? Was you self employed? What was your situation?

[ShallowWaters]

After all these months, I finally got an answer….my refund was….wait for it…. CANCELLED!!!! They didn’t even tell me. Turned out it was cancelled 2 months ago for fraud. WMR never updated, never changed, nothing.

So where does that leave me?

I’m so over it all these year….F*** the IRS

[Justwaiting]

redacted no they never asked me to verify my identity just income and dependent but I had already noticed an error on witholding and amended right before that which they didnt know it because it was literally at the same time.

[redacted B]

@Justwaiting did you have to verify your identity by getting form 4883c before all of that happening? I’m sorry I’m trying to understand your situation.

[Justwaiting]

I sent amended on May 6th they got it on the 11th, on the next week I received a letter saying I needed to verify income and dependent. So I called they said it didn’t show amended so they sent the letter before they got that. They told me still send the papers they wanted but send a letter stating I had already amended. Nothing new yet but it did update in the system saying they received my amended on the 14th of May that was three days after they actually got it LOL so I am hoping this is progress any thoughts anyone. I filed Jan 29th by the way.

[SJM]

I take two hat back my Ta just called and said the IRS finally released my refund and that it will be June 6th.yayyyyy it’s been a wait.but I’m so hype!!!

[Shay]

I called to request a TA on 5/14 and haven’t heard from anybody yet. So I just decided to contact the irs myself and I finally found out that I need to file an amended return. The TA might help some people but they didn’t help me. I just say keep calling the irs over and over again until you get a representative that will tell you something. That’s what I did.

[Emma William]

Get these Online Installment Loans from these instant Credit loans us is the best practise.

[SJM]

Woke up to another Saturday with NO DD! I’m over it obviously my TA isn’t doing anything . Again requested her on 4/18 and told her I needed it seeing I had my daughter early and needed it to stay in my house. sTill nothing! At this point I just give up it’s almost June I filed 1/27 and was accepted 1/29 wtf!

[Light]

I filed on. January 31st. I was expecting my refund at the end of February but received a letter dated 3/12 saying I was under review and to wait 60 days. I called the IRS on May 8th and the lady I spoke with sent off some kind of referral and told me to wait another 60 days. I woke up this morning with a DDD of May 31st. Never got a TA. I just waited. Just wanted to share my story and give you all some hope!

[redacted B]

So exactly how many of us are still waiting here? I sent mine in March. Had to I’d verify on May 7th and my WMR still hasn’t updated at all. Who else is in the same boat as I am????

[Spookyrides]

@neish1917: Code 424= “examination request indicator”, then code 420= “ examination indicator”. Seems they requested a hard look and now they are looking at your return. At least that’s progress, unlike mine which is sitting with Tumble Weed in Tombstone circa: 1836.

[neish1917]

Filed and accepted 2/2. Been thru 45 and 60-day reviews now waiting for an answer from a referral put in on 4/27. Justed started checking my transcript online and my received date 4-15 and processing date is 3-5. I have the tc 570. My as of date changed from 6-4 to 6-11 idk what that’s about. and I got the code 424 on 5-17 last Friday and today I checked again and it says 420 5-18. Can someone please explain to me what this may mean?

[Spooky]

I called again today, in my second 60 days due to my former employer, that doesn’t exist, grouping expense payments with my earnings on my W2. They overstated 9k worth of income, jack crap I can do about it now. Anywho…was told that the whole identity theft issue has placed filter after filter on millions of returns, resulting in them having to handle each one at a time. I was also told that they hope to have most fixed within 30 days, it can even go beyond the Now second 60 day period. Ugh. She also stated, much like a TA I talked to a few months ago, next year looks just as bad unlesss congress chooses to do something about it. I’ll never File early again. Sadly…
this may become the “new normal” process! Sigh….

[sodonewithwaiting]

So, I assume when people call asking what the hold up is, there may be a hold up because of an error but they say ” everything is fine, just wait” to buy more time which is wasting our time and making us wait LONGER. i swear if that is my case and they never told me i had an error for 6 months I WILL LOSE MY SHI* >:( i aksed multiple times if there is any error or anything i can do to speed up the process and they keep saying no.

[Shay]

Finally, I feel like there may be hope. I talked to this nice lady at the it’s today and she told me that they found an error and I need to amend my tax return. I could have done this a long time ago if they had said so.

[Mimiikei]

@Vee My TA is no help at all either, had her for almost 6 weeks. They have all documents from me, they just have not touched my return yet.

[Vee]

I called the IRS yesterday and was told after the the additional 60 days they have to release your refund. My first 60 days was up at the end of April. My additional won’t be up until the end of June. I’m still missing wages from an old employer. My TA hasn’t done anything to help.

[Shay]

I’m in the same situation that you are in @sodowithwaiting. I was put on another sixty day review. From my understanding my taxes haven’t been touched. They are just sitting there. I could understand if they gave me a reason or even if I had a problem with mine but the fact that they are just there is plain stupid. It pisses me off that taxes are still coming out of my check with no problem but they irs can just hold my money like it’s theirs.

[sodonewithwaiting]

This is ridiculous. I’ve been put on another 60 day review. When i originally called after my first 60 days, they said ” We are very backed up this season and we had many returns flagged by our computer so we cant get through them all. We are too understaffed.” OK?? but how is that our problem? I get that the IRS is very underfunded but its insane that people have to suffer for this. they should have been prepared. ive heard MILLIONS of refunds are still being held because most of the IRS agents are contracted or seasonal workers. since the tax season is over they all left. THIS IS BS! no one is held accountable and whoever still hasn’t received their refund, your refund is just SITTING there because no wants to look at it. they are SLOW AND LAZY…

[redacted B]

I hope they send us all bottles of lube for next year. Bc this pounding this year hurts. That’s the least they could do.

[Mimiikei]

@Spookyrides….i have heard it can take 2or 3weeks. I got a referral today.

[Spookyrides]

I got the “60 Days more” answer after our original 60 Days hold too. I’m thinking by the time we may get any refund, it will be time to sadly file again and go thru this horseshit one more time. Unreal…..

[redacted B]

I read on another comment 60 more days Mimiikei.

[Mimiikei]

Today i called irs and spoke to a nice lady in the account management dept. She sent a referral to the dept thats holding my return. How long does it take after the referral..?

[Mimiikei]

And my next schedule call back for ta is june 12 which is my son’s birthday. Im afraid what she might say even when she has all documents that was needed. I think i want have a dd until after smh

[Mimiikei]

@SJM at least your TA is calling with updates and what he/she is doing. I got assigned to ta 4/18 as well and still no refund. 60 day reveiw is up. Hoping that you will update since your ta is working to expedite, unfortunately mines is delaying me lol. But have anyone on here have helped from your local congressman. Because i sure did speak with him last week to take my case.

[SJM]

Whelp my tax advocate called me FRiday after speaking to her on the 14th and said they wanted me to send my w-2 for one of my jobs(a $1025 w-2 I’m sure I didn’t even get $100 back for on my tax return) and to give them a week. I faxed it to her Friday and she called Early Monday morning and said she sent it and asked for it to be expedited. Said to just look for a update on wmr Saturday hopefully they give me a date then. Said she will call me back Monday. I’m so over this. Filed 1/27 and accepted 1/29. 4464c dates 3/5 but got a TA on 4/18 STILL no refund!

[Laura]

F/A 1/29 got the 4464c letter dated 2/27 waited 60 days called was told it was sent to the department to either contact me or release, still haven’t heard anything so I filed for a TA last Monday and she just called me today and told me that one of my employers reported my income differently then I filed and I’m entitled to $421 more and that I should file an amendment but told me not to file one until this refund has processed. She said the IRS has 10 business days to respond to her request to release the refund so that brings us to 6/6 and if I haven’t received an update by 6/13 we are scheduled for a follow up call

[KMurph]

@RENA. Go ahead and amend. I was waiting to get some sort of letter before I did, but an agent at the IRS said they’ll NEVER send your refund if they can’t verify amounts. If you KNOW that there is a discrepancy, get a TA and amend. They’ll tell you it’s 16 weeks, but the TA can speed up the process if you have a hardship. Otherwise you’ll be waiting and waiting. I still never received a second letter after Feb 26. Nor did anything change on WMR. EVER!

[Kristen1983]

I was finally able to get a hold of someone that was helpful at the IRS. I filed in March, had to file a paper return because my PIN was mailed to my old address. On April 9th I called and was told I was an “unpostable” due to filing without my pin. They then put me back in processing. I was told that I should update by June 11. If there are any issues with your account this year it is NINE weeks from the time that put you back in processing. She told me that it SHOULDNT take the full nine weeks but here we are just 3 weeks away from June 11th. I’m hoping to get some kind of an update soon

[Christie]

NVM. i need to post this on the home page.

[Christie]

If you have been waiting over 60 days for your refund and the IRS has never given a reason for the delay, please like this post.

[Rina]

So my 60 days were up May 14th. Called May 16th and got a really nice lady to answe however I did not like her answer; another possoble 60 days!!! Apparently, my withholding was off by exactly $1,000 dollars. So I asked can I just send in an amendment and she said no to wait till someone contacts me. Is that right? Or should I just send in the amendment?

[Lilb]

So happy I got a TA that shit is real when ppl say if you don’t get one it can take forever!! My dd 2morr

[Lilb]

@Shay you need a late notice(eviction) for your house or apt or you need a cut off notice light bill

[Shay]

Does anyone knows the correct form to file for a hardship. Looks like I have to help myself out. I contacted a tax advocate over a week ago and haven’t heard nothing back from them yet. If you know the correct form please help.

[Long Dong]

I called and raised hell this morning. No luck same lame ass excuses, I’m over it! Apparently the irs needs our money worse then we the TAX PAYERS do!

[Spookyrides]

@Shay: same boat as you, I’m now looking at July 12th. At this rate I’m thinking I may be Christmas shopping by the time I get it. And worse thing is that there’s nothing we can do. Government insanity at its best!!!

[Shay]

At this point I’m just over the irs and my taxes. I filed 2/2 and was accepted 2/3. I waited my 21 days no refund. I finally received a letter on 3/14 telling me to wait sixty days. My sixty days was up on 5/14 still no refund. I called today and they tell me that they need another sixty days which is until 7/14. At this point I’m just sick and tired of waiting and I give up. It ashamed that all they can tell me is to just wait.

[ellie olson]

My taxes were accepted March 6th 2018 I now have topic 152 and when I contacted them they told me they had 60 days which would put the review out till May 20th. Today is May 21st and it still says topic 152

[pleasehelp]

@dariana singleton…does yours still have TT!52? if so have you received any letters or have to id verify?..I have this same message with my amount still showing and TT152 still showing. but I was told to do nothing and just wait. what about you

[Dariana Singleton]

Mine been saying this since Feb 3rd and still says it and it’s almost june

[Long Dong]

Does anyone know when the irs updates the WMR app? Like time of night? It says it’s updated over night but when?

[Ms Natalie]

Victim of identity theft so I mailed in my return in Feb went from received. To processing to still processing now I check wmr and now it say no information can be given I’m so lost?

[soulsinabottle]

So, two weeks into my second 45 day hold…. Doesn’t look like my return has even been looked at since APRIL per the transcripts…. On 4/15 I see that someone ok’d the refund but since then nada. Nothing. I have a car that I need to have fixed so I can work. This is really depressing.

[Spookyrides]

Worse part is there’s nothing to do but “wait”, no reasons given, nothing we can do. You can’t speak to anyone, cant ask what the hold up is, can’t ask what do they need……. just “wait”! The stupid Path Act is hurting working folks! And that’s those that need it the most! And why the hell the press isn’t reporting this is just as crazy. Hmmmm…. maybe that’s the route most of us should go?

[redacted B]

Yup folks. Getting bent over courtesy of the IRS, the prickheads don’t even offer lube or a reach around!

[pleasehelp]

@spookrides @shay This is completely ridiculous @spooky I haven’t been waiting nearly as long as you guys so I cant imagine how irritated you guys are. I don’t expect mine any time soon either.. One a positive note at least ill have x-mas shopping money lol.

[Spookyrides]

@Shay, @pleasehelp: same situation so I called once my 60 Days was up. Was told they were sending a letter to the “other dept.” to release the hold (Why it isn’t automated is beyond me!), and they have another 60 Days to either send me another letter or to get the refund. So now I’m looking at maybe July 12. Insanity at its best! We were accepted January 28th. bye the way. I honestly don’t expect to see any refund until this fall as they seem to have zero hurry and adlib and bullshit us as it goes.

[Shay]

Ok I’m in the same situation as you are. I filed 2/2 and was accepted 2/3. Mine is still processing and all I see is tax topic 152. Got a notice saying wait 60 days on 3/14. My 60 days was up on 5/14 and still no refund. I contacted a tax advocate on 5/15 and haven’t heard anything still. At this point I give up. I figure it will be close to another tax season before I get mine.

[pleasehelp]

anybody waiting still have TT152 and the still processing message,,,, If so what did you have to do. Im scared to call in I filed on 3/27/18 and bars went missing a week later I haven’t received any letters or additional tax codes. I still have my refund amount Ssn and topic 152 with “still processing”. Anybody in this same situation please shed some light. Also ale to order transcripts as of last week. Anyone?

[Cent]

And the wmar hasn’t updated but the wmr has.

[Cent]

Ok so here we go. I have been following for months now every one’s story here is my own.filled 2/2 didn’t check the wmr website until after the 29 of February. My numbers didn’t add up because I left off a. Few seasonal jobs I had along with I filled with my last check stub. Never doing that again. Called and got an advocate around the first week of March she told me to amend. My amended return showed up as being received on March 20. Weekly updates from my advocate saying it’s still being processed.wmr said still being processed. I talked to my advocate yesterday. I have a ddd of May 23. Thank God there is a light at the end of the tunnel..

[jaedynne]

I have a cycle date of 20181905 . Not sure what that means since we are past week 19 already and WMR says ‘still being processed’.

[Billy the Pooter]

All this just gives me gas. I fart more now then I ever have. It’s the irs fault.

[Lilb]

Yesss I got a 846 on transcript today!!! Long ass time!!

[Kevin]

IRS Hacked? They are literally filing tax individually at the IRS. When you call they need your information they don’t have , then they do your taxes based on your W2 if they got it , if they don’t they will trick you to send them W2s again for “verification “

[Kevin]

Goodness!!! I have heard that IRS have been hacked at the beginning of the year. They are quietly trying to control the damage and more that half of filers might not even get refunds . They want also most to amend so they can at least track their identities. This truly need clarification from Congress.

[Lilb]

I filed 2/2/18 I waited until April 20 to get a TA. TA told me that my income was not reported to the damn IRS! So I sent him verification and W2 from employer! I had a call back last Monday saying that my codes and freeze has been removed! So he said I should have my money before my next call back on the 29th. So we should see it’s been a long wait for me! I need my money!

[Mr. Miller]

Filed and accepted 1-19-18, says still processing as of 5-17-18. I’ve called so many times and got so many different answers it’s unreal! I was part of the review process for 60 days, called after that and was told another 60 days. Last time I called on 5-14-18 they said a letter was sent out I’ll get it in 6 weeks to verify income? Really? What a joke! This is so ridiculous. I give up . . .

[Rachel]

@redacted B ha! I will try not to! And I hope you all get yours very soon! If anything its been a lesson in patience!

[redacted B]

Very awesome Rachel!! Don’t spend it all in one place lol please keep us in your thoughts!

@Latrice YES I got it this AM! FOUR LONG MONTHS!

[Latrice Jackson]

My friend hasn’t heard from her tax advocate in awhile how do you contact their supervisors?

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel did you get your deposit?

[redacted B]

It’s ok I’ll probably literally drop a load in my shorts when/if I get my refund. To the point of giving up honestly.

[MiLeBr]

And of course not a peep out of my TA since I sent her the 23 pages from my employer to prove to the IRS that I did indeed work there. Sent it off on 5/9/18. She did not call me like she said she would to let me know she got it nor has she returned my phones calls. I have called 2x a day everyday since last week, asking for an update or for her to at least let me know she got everything. Not sure what my next step should be or if there even is one. Beyond frustrated. Now I just have a countdown to when the IRS has to start paying interest. Because at this point I’m not sending another damn thing. I have done everything on my end, even though that’s what TA’s are for we still have to do all the work.

[redacted B]

And another day goes by where WMR says the same thing and nothing has changed since end of March. I’ve been verified over a week now. No changes. And they still aren’t offering any lube.

[Christie]

Sounds like they are swimming in paperwork. Gives some insight into exactly who the IRS is targeting as they are only assisting hardships.

[Mimiikei]

Thanks Rachel. It seems ill be waiting 8 weeks as well. My TA said i didnt fax anything until i told her i did on 4/19.. she just found out yest she had it this whole time. Smh. She told me give her til june 12. Tried to contact her supv. But cnt get through.

[Rachel]

@redacted B LOL
@Mimiikei I fiile an amended return with a TA and it took 8 weeks to finally get my refund. If you filed it without a TA it can take 12-16 weeks.

[redacted B]

The irs sucks. They don’t even use lube when they ram it in!

[Shay]

Ok so after waiting my sixty days which was up 5/14/18 I still have no refund or ddd. I have finally decided to contact a TA because I am tired of waiting on money that is due to me. It’s bad how the irs can just take our money if we owe them but if they owe us they can make us wait.

[Mimiikei]

No good news for me! My TA just called stated the irs have not touched my amended return and it’s been 4 weeks since I sent it off. Called irs she stated they hvnt updated in the system &but does not mean they have not received it. Trying to figure out what does this means at this point or is my tA is any help or not I have sent all the documentation they needed and still no update on anything. But my 60 days is up on May 22. Just wondering I really think their not going to touch my return until after that day. Does anyone know what I need to do at this point or have been in a similar situation Im in. Pls help

[Rachel]

@SJM Thanks:) I think they are finally getting around to issuing refunds and more people will start seeing them, even ones without TA’s. Partly because I don’t think they want to have to pay people interest. I hope everyone that has been patiently waiting gets theirs soon!

[SJM]

After getting a tax advocate on 4/18 my TA called me back today and said whomever was working my case said give them till Wednesday and that I should have my refund within 10 days and that I should see that date Saturday. Filed 1/27 accepted 1/29. Received 44664c letter date 3/5. So hopefully this nightmare is over soon. @rachel congrats on finally getting a date .ive been watching this post and others hopefully I’m next.

[Rachel]

@waiting, yes it finally did.

[waiting]

Yeah Rachel!!! Awesome did it update with amended amount on WMR

[Rachel]

After almost 4 months of waiting if finally got a DDD of 5/16. TA called me last friday and told me my amended return had been processed. WMR finally updated on saturday morning after saying “We have received your return and it is being processed” for the last 12 weeks. Ugh what a nightmare this has been!

[laura]

Well I finally caved and submitted the request for a TA, F/A 1/29 rec letter 4464c dated 2/27 and have not received any update or information since. I’ve called and been told they need nothing/do nothing and that a request would be put in to have my account looked at as nothing has been done and it is passed the 60 days originally stated but there has still been no movement.

[Balth]

So after getting an update on WMR saying they deposited my return on the 9th they updated again this Saturday saying they have taken my whole return for a debt. There offset hotline doesn’t say anything. Looks like it’s time to raise some hell.

[MiLeBr]

So I’m pretty sure the IRS is crashing down. My TA asked me for a W2 stating the irs says they dont have one on file from my employer. Um ok. So i fax her over the one my company mailed me she says she’ll call me back 5/19. She calls me back 5/4 to inform me the irs says that the W2 is not enough to prove that i worked there. Excuse me!? I’m on the phone with my HR and payroll department going off. At this point I’ve kept my crap together. I haven’t bugged the IRS I haven’t bombarded my TA with calls but now I’ve flipped my s#!$. My work writes a very strongly worded letter to the IRS and send 23 pages of W2’s and payroll reports theyve had for me since i started working there. Now my work is daring the IRS to say thats not enough information. I got everything over to mt TA this Wednesday and she said she’s giving the IRS til Friday 5/11 to get it straight. Wonder what she’s planning if they didn’t sort it out??? No one else can seem to make them do diddaly squat. Here’s to hoping for a call from her monday with good news. Happy Mothers Day…..

[Alexis sims]

I did the amendment in March

[Alexis sims]

My TA had me do an amendment on my contact date Monday she told me the IRS is just simply overloaded with cases like mine and there was nothing she could do she will contact me June 8 and offered to write letters to my my overdue bills but she has no idea when I will get my refund

[Donnie]

And my WMR still has NO update yet! I called and verified my identity on Monday May 7th and still NOTHING! How long did it take yours to update?? Anyone? Please help me out! Thanks!

[Donnie]

By “them” I mean a TA.

[Donnie]

Shay, to my understanding, you can claim one. And if they ask proof you simply have to fax or email them a copy of a bill being late or on disconnect.

[Shay]

Can someone tell me how to apply for a hardship.

[Denise]

dated= Stated***

[Denise]

@wantmymoneynow

So true! I requested TA a little over a week ago. Basically first week of May. The first Monday to be exact. Spoke with TA this week on Monday& Tuesday. Had DDD today on WMR for next week. If y’all qualify for hardship than I recommend requesting a TA. I have been waiting since 2/10 (date return was accepted). Got letter of “under review” 03/26. Letter dated I should have DD before May 10th or would receive another notice shortly after. Got a TA before May 10 due to hardship. Now WMR shows DDD for 05/15.

[WantMyMoneyNow]

I forgot to mention that WMR never updated. It’s still says it’s processing.

[WantMyMoneyNow]

I posted my story about 2 weeks ago. Transcripts updated today with 846 -Refund Issued code dated for 5/16/2018. I’m so glad I got a TA, otherwise I would probably still be waiting.

[Denise]

Update: WMR updated today with DDD on May 15th.

[NCWaiting]

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to give an update. WMR updated on May 5 with a DDD of May 9.
On May 9, received deposit, but WMR did not update until May 10.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel great! Yea your WMR should update in the morning since your transcripts updated today. Mine money is showing received by turbo tax bank already I’m hoping to get it in my account today. Especially since I don’t owe them any money they took my fees like 2 months ago. Now I just have to wait for my amendment to process. I’m not in a rush for that though.

[Rachel]

@NoaTay3 I actually ended up getting about $800 more.

[NoaTay3]

@Rachel My WMR was updated when I woke up on Saturday morning so maybe it will be the same for you. I didn’t file an amendment though so maybe that’s different. Did your amendment reduce the amount of your refund?

[Rachel]

ALSO, WMR still shows that its still processing and still shows my original refund amount AND ‘Wheres my amended return” still shows they haven’t even received it. LOL I gave up on relying on those a while ago. I’ll let you all know if I actually get it next week.

[Rachel]

@Balth, I can imagine how discouraging that would be! I would definitely call the IRS and make sure they have the correct routing/account number. Sometimes it takes the bank a few days before they actually get it as well.

[Rachel]

@tiredofwaiting, yes actually the TA called me at about 7:30 this morning and apologized that she told me I should be expecting it this week. She says their system updated today and she shows a DDD for 5/16. She said she is closing my case. I still won’t believe it until its in my hands, ha!

[Balth]

“I filed with Tax Slayer 1/23, accepted 1/24. After 3 letters and nearly 4 months of waiting my WMR updated Saturday morning with a DDD of 5/9.”

Here it is the 11th with WMR showing it was deposited on the 9th yet I have no money in my account and my bank is saying they show no incoming deposits. Has this happened to anyone else? After all this crap they turn around and pull this. I’m complete over the governments incompetence this year. What really stinks is there’s absolutely nothing we can do but put up with it.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel did you get any update yet?

[Donnie]

Nothing new on my end. Same damn thing. Still being processed and refers me to tax topic 152. I verified on Monday afternoon 5/7/18

[Donnie]

What time of night is the WMR app or page updated? Thanks!

[Shae B]

@Rachel & @NoaTay3 thanks so much maybe I’ll call and try to get someone to help I filled February 5th I got accepted the same day . March 9th I got a letter saying I was under review and had to wait 60 days . My 60 days was up May 8. They told me I had to wait another 60 days . Smh it’s so frustrating .

[NoaTay3]

@Liz I was told I was chose at random as well but it turned out my wages were overstated on my 1040. Who knows when I would’ve been told this information had I not gotten a TA. If you don’t need the money then wait it out but I certainly don’t see the harm in obtaining one. Either way it’s a waiting game.

[NoaTay3]

@Shae I didn’t even have to provide proof. I faxed in a TA application to my local office (like Rachel) and stated that I waited more than enough time to find out what was going on with my situation. I threw in being a single mom as well so I’m sure it didn’t hurt. :-)

[Liz]

So I see so many peoples stories on here that make me worry about my own ….mine seems simple compared to some please let me know if mine sounds just like yours and you got hmyour refund…I live in IL
I filed January 29th…I have EIC so didn’t start processing till Feb 15th…..I called day 22 to check and IRS said simply it was still under review ….I called March 1st and was then told to give them 45days! I then got a letter stating I had a 60 day review but nothing was needed from me and to basically wait …..that letter was dated March 13th my 60 days is up on Saturday the 12th….I’ve been a nervous wreck about it so I called IRS ON May 2nd and the lady was very nice and said she saw nothing wrong w my return and that I was just randomly chosen to do a review on and that looked like I only had a week left and to basically be patient ….I asked if I should be worried and to get a TA and she said no….I’m crossing my fingers she was honest and i get my refund very soon…….

[Rachel]

@Shae B most of the people here filed in January. I know I did. Supposedly you need to be experiencing a hardship to get a TA. All I did was fax over a late utility notice and they didn’t ask any questions. I filled out the form in the link attached and then found my local TA office on the IRS website and the fax number was provided. I sent a letter explaining my situation along with my amended return and W2

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f911.pdf

[Shae B]

How do I qualify for a TA? It’s really sad how I waited 60 days to get my refund , which I still didn’t get . I was told I had to wait another 60 days and they can’t give me any information why.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel my transcripts on the 4th didn’t show my hold released even though my TA said it was released on like the 2nd or 3rd. And I was feeling how you feel right now. I didn’t really feel like she as telling the truth until I saw it yesterday for myself. If you can get a hold of your TA have her fax you the transcripts that they see not the ones the regular workers see. Also it might not update until tomorrow. You may have your money before you see any changes or at least that is what my TA told me.

[Rachel]

@Latrice, correct – they tell me I need to contact or wait for my TA to contact me.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel have you tried contacting the IRS and see if they can see the adjustment or will they not speak with you because you have a TA like they told me one time when I called.

[Mimiikei]

I amended 4/19 with my TA. Does anyone know what could my ta possibly say on my next schedule call 5/14 (on Monday) . im hoping for good news. Unfortunately i hvnt gotten any wmr update either. Its been 3 weeks now.

[Rachel]

@TiredOfWaiting I just don’t understand how my TA tells me last week (as shes on the phone with me) “I’m looking at your account right now and I can see the adjustment was applied yesterday” Then when I order my transcripts I see NOTHING indicating any changes were made and/or applied to my account. It still has the original wages I filed with that are incorrect and only thing I see different is the 970 code on 3-13 saying my amended return was filed. I’m just confused why TA told me I would be getting my refund this week. Unless she can see something on my account that I can not. Doesn’t make sense.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel my WMR bars came back and updated to approved showing ddd for Monday. Just a reminder of my situation. F/A 2-5, bars disappeared 2-24, called IRS 2-27 informed under review starting 2-15, 3-12 called IRS back informed under review but it started 3-12 not 2-15 as I was previously told. Hung up and requested TA. TA requested to have refund released twice before involving her Sup and management liasion. Had faxed amendment 4-17 but forgot to sign it, we t signed copy over on 5-2. TA called on 5-3 and stated refund was released a d should be in my bank account between 5-7 and 5-18. Transcripts updated with 846 5/9. I have always filed with my last check with no problems but never again. Now to just wait on my amendment to process. Per my TA should have it by the end of June. She will still be working my case until my amendment is complete. It’s been a long wait but so grateful and thankful to God it’s almost over and for everyone who posted on this forum.

[redacted B]

My question here is how long AFTER you verified was it before WMR was updated?!!? Please and thank you!!

[Shay]

Refund accepted 2/3
After 21 days still no refund. I rec. a letter on 3/14 and was told to wait 60 days. I called today and they told me that in have until 5/14 before my 60 days is up. Is it this hard to process a tax refund? It’s ashamed that the irs can do what they want to with our money, but if we owe them they can just take it however they want.

[Jenny]

@rachel my amended taxes never showed. Once my TA told me I would rec’v it within 1 weeks and to start checking with the IRS as they could tell me
When my DDD would be I called every day. Honestly they were the most helpful towards the end. I got a sweet lady who told me it had just been processed that day. I checked where’s my amended return and nothing showed up. Hopefully you will get your return soon. Ohhh and BTW watch turbo tax if you used them they took an additional $40 out of my refund. I was never able talk to a hold of a human. I feel like we got screwed all the way around this year.

[Rachel]

So my transcripts show a 570 code from back in February then after that it shows a code 970 then a code 971 after they got the amended return. Anyone know what those mean? Is it just showing they received the amended return?

[Spooky]

@Jeannie: Filed with Turbo same time, received stupid “just wait” letter March 12th. Called and said that I was on a 45 day hold. Called again at day 45 and after the usual same questions, was told that they had sent a letter to the “other dept.” to release the hold. Another 9 days, nothing so I called again this past Monday. Now I’m told it was a 60 day hold, I have to wait until next week at the earliest. This is insanity at its finest and there’s no one held accountable for any of this.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel u use to think they only deposited on Wed. and Fri. but last year I got my money on a Thursday. She sent over my transcripts and a letter verifying my DDD. She said to keep checking my account because they send out the money 3 days before the date. I’m hoping it comes tomorrow or Friday so I can take care of my business cause I got to work all next week.

[Rachel]

Or is it weds and fridays? I thought they usually did them all on certain days but I googled it and apparently they can DD any day of the week? Why does it seem like groups of people get the same dates of DD?

[Rachel]

@Tiredofwaiting, I thought they only did direct deposits on weds and saturdays? I have never heard of a DD on a monday?

[Unbelievable 2018 tax refund]

Ok so my 60 dayswould been up This Monday the 14th. I decide to call early just to see what’s going on. Well good thing I did. They said the when I verified on March 20th that the person that verified me did not put in system correctly and that he resubmitted as oh today ..So possibly anothe 9weeks wait… WTF why are they screwing us with our money. I have a car need fixed. I told them I am strapped for cash and I need my money. I need my money 💰 tight away. He said that he will have a TA call me within 5 days. But really I’m not holding my breath… please call them before your 60 days. Because I bet someone will have my same issue. Good luck all

[TiredOfWaiting]

Just spoke to my TA deposit is scheduled for Monday shesaid that the IRS send the money out 3 days ahead of time so to keep checking my bank account. She is supposed to be faxing me my transcripts because the ones I got last week had not updated. No change on WMR as of yet.

[redacted B]

My WMR still says same thins hasn’t updated since I verified my identity on Monday.

[Rachel]

@Latrice I’m in Washington. She never has answered her phone when I have called her. Unfortunately I can’t even try because I’m at work and I left her number at home :-/

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel what state are you in again? I would always catch my TA in her office after 1 pm and she would answer for me then, everytime I would leave her message she never called me back I had to call her.

[Rachel]

@Latrice, the other thing she said was. This should take 2 weeks at the most but start checking your bank account because you should definitely have it by the time I call you back next friday. I don’t understand why she would tell me that, unless she mistook me for someone else she is dealing with as well?! Ugh

[Rachel]

@Latrice Jackson No I have not gotten anything from them. When the TA was on the phone with me last week she supposedly was looking at my account and says “Oh yeah I can see they made the adjustment yesterday”. Well unless I’m missing something, when I look at my account transcript it has all of the same info as the one I ordered 2 months ago. Only difference is it does say Amended return filed 3-13-18. I don’t understand WHY this is taking so long??? She never answers her phone when I have tried to call so I just faxed over a letter and a copy of my transcript to the fax number she gave me previously. I’m just weary of this damn situation.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel have you received the letter in the mail stating that they made an adjustment to your original refund and that you should get it in 2-3 weeks? I just got my letter yesterday and refund last week so they are definitely behind I know here in Texas, I would call my TA and see what’s up if you don’t want to wait until FRiday

[Shae B]

My 60 days was up Monday May 7th , I callled Tuesday May 8th the lady told me she would put in a request to get my refund released .She said it could take another 60 days . This is not fair I give up . Thank goodness I’m a teacher and have a decent job.

[Rachel]

OMG I just called and requested my account transcript to be faxed because I have not gotten my refund this week like the TA I had SAID I was going to… My amended return has not even been applied to my account! It still shows the original amount. And there has been no action taken on my account since the 13th of March when she filed the amendment. WTF???!!! Was she just blowing smoke up my a–?? I am mad beyond words!

[Laura]

My as of date has changed yet again (now 5/28) but still no update anywhere else, ready for this nightmare of a filing season to be over!

[Rachel]

Last week my TA said my account had been adjust with the new amended return amount and that I should see a DD this week. Of course today I check my account and nothing. Ugh I guess I might call and see if I can get my account transcript faxed to me. She said she would call me friday to check in and that I should have it by then. Well weds and saturday are the only days they do deposits. This is getting beyond annoying.

[KMurph]

Still waiting as well. Rtrns accepted 1/29. Recvd letter 2/26. Called twice. Told to wait 60 days both times. No updates in WMR. No TA. Just gonna ride it out.

[NoaTay3]

@Rachel

Yes, my WMR was updated when I checked on Saturday (5/5). My return was on hold because I entered my wages incorrectly from my last pay stub. But I never knew it until I got a TA on 4/19. Since I overstated my wages they released my refund to me today (5/9). With my amended return they owe me even more money. Lol! But I probably won’t see that for another few months.

[Jeannie]

I filed with turbo tax 1/29 was accepted next day .. I received a letter saying to wait . I had called twice told to do nothing but wait . I can’t get my transcripts online after I get so far it just stops I have gotten them by mail three times they’ve all been the same .. I’m afraid to even call since I’ve heard it makes it delayed .. I don’t think I can get a TA .. so I guess I’m waiting STILL , I see there’s not many left on here or any of the post …. thanks to everyone who is to give the rest of us some hope still …. I still check my WMR everyday and it’s STILL processing .. and I’m STILL waiting ……

[NetraF]

@Laura As of yesterday my wage and income transcripts FINALLY updated as well. Does anyone knows if this means they are closer to finishing processing the return? My 60 days were up 5/6 when the income and wage transcript updated. Anyone’s process similar?

WMR: We have received your return and its being processed. (2/16/2018)
F/A: 1/29
Cycle: 20180704
4464C: 03-05-2018
Code 570: 03-05-2018

[Rachel]

@NoaTay3 did your WMR update? And what was your situation? Amended return or a hold for something else?

[NoaTay3]

Add me to the list of DDD 5/9/18!!!! Finally, the wait is over! :-)

[Michael]

TiredOfWaiting: My hold was adjusted to released 4/26/2018. My transcripts updated Friday and WMR updated this past Sat.

[Spooky]

One of the unlucky 1/28 filers, every credit, path, CP letter dated 3-12. Called a few times “just wait” 45 day review. Called 2 weeks ago, “will send a letter to the other dept. to get the hold lifted”, nothing more. No letter or of course cash. Called today “ sorry it was actually a 60 day hold, call back next week”. Government insanity at its finest. I figure at this rate I’m looking maybe by the end of June.

[Rachel]

@Latrice, Ugh I’m still finding it hard to believe I’m ever going to get it. TA said she expected me to have it before she called me on the 11th. We shall see I guess what happens.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel my WMR never updated to my amended amount, it never changed even after i got my deposit it still has the same thing now.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel mine said the same thing but mine didn’t change either. Just ready for this deposit. From other post I have seen though it’s about 13 days between release of hold and dd.

[Rachel]

@Latrice Jackson, did your WMR ever change? My TA said I should be getting my refund this week but the IRS site still says the same. Maybe that doesn’t matter, I just won’t believe it until I actually see it in my account.

[Laura]

Still waiting here with no update. I can see my wage transcript now but my as of date is still the same, I called and was told they still haven’t released my return but at this time they need nothing. Hopefully have my return by the end of this month since I’ve been waiting since Janury

[Vee]

My as of date update to 5/21/18. Also my wages transcript actually had information on it. I sent my TA my last paystub for my missing wages. TA told me it would take 2-3 weeks. Hopefully I will have my refund at the end of this month.

[Balth]

I filed with Tax Slayer 1/23, accepted 1/24. After 3 letters and nearly 4 months of waiting my WMR updated Saturday morning with a DDD of 5/9.

Good luck to everyone still waiting.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@NCWaiting can you tell me when you hold was released trying to see when to expect my Dr. My hold was released 5/3. Thanks

[NCWaiting]

Hi Everyone.

Just wanted to give an update. WMR updated today and I have a deposit date of May 9th. Stay encouraged for everyone still waiting.

[LuvNM]

Finally…DDD for May 9!

[shawn marshall]

My tax refund still says processing has said this a week after filing . My 60 days have been up for a while . I’m on day 70.

[Michael Bliss]

Mine updated this morning. DDD 5/9/18.
F/A 2/9/18 with TurboTax
4464c letter recv’d 3/15/2018
Hold released (4/26/18) and transcripts updated 5/3/2018
State refund recv’d 5/3/18
Fed refund 5/9/18

This site has been a lifesaver through this whole process.

[Jaci Jacobs]

DDD finally for May 8th!!!!!

[Shelby]

Hi guys, I have watched this forum for a while so I could see a light at the end of the tunnel hopefully. I got an update today so hopefully this will give others hope as well.

I filed 2/1 with TT and was accepted in the same day. I chose direct deposit as well. I’m not sure when my bars disappeared as I never really checked. Only when friends were saying that all theirs were coming on 2/22. So I checked that day and I had nothing. Everyone I knew got their refunds and I didn’t. Even those who had claimed EITC and ACTC, which I had both so I was like what the heck. So then on 2/28 I received a 60 day review letter dated 2 days prior. I called at 30 days to see if there was anything I needed to do and was advised to just wait. My sixty days was up 4/26 and I thought about calling but have still been reading forums and chose not to because everyone was saying what they would tell me so I didn’t. I would not qualify for a TA as I have no hardship. I have been checking my transcripts everyday expecting to see nothing. Today at around noon I checked and I had an update.
Underneath my 570 code there was a 290 additional tax assessed code with a 0.00 amount and an 846 code underneath that with my full refund amount and a date of 5/09/2018. So I’m assuming that is the day I will get it or that is the day it will be released to my bank account. It has been a long road just waiting for answers but I have found more from reading my transcripts than from the phone call I made or the wmr website, which still hasn’t updated even though my transcripts have. I hope this gives hope to others that are waiting. I truly believe that they will come before they have to start paying interest. These forums helped me know my options and know what to expect and to also do some research of my own.

[Canes18]

For those having trouble with online transcripts, none of my credit cards worked but our mortgage account did. Maybe try a loan #?

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Jeanie yea they can fax but you have to be at the fax machine. I normally get mine in the mail but they take to long and mine have been the same since Feb. I was hoping for an update on them today because my hold was released yesterday. I hate how they changed the online account up until last year I could check mine online now they want you to have this extra stuff but don’t recognize any of the account numbers associated with my credit report. I have a feeling I will have my deposit between Tuesday and Thursday.

[Jeannie]

Faxed ??? They can fax them to u ???? I can’t get mine online I have tried a million times I get so far then it won’t do anything … I’ve gotten them by mail but they are all the same ????????????

[Jon]

Long time reader never posted wanted to share my story

Filed 1/19 turbo tax
Accepted 1/24
Path act message first week of Feb
2nd week of Feb changed to still processing
4446c letter sent dated 3/9
Called for tax advocate 4/12
Tax advocate called today and said my refund has been released and I should have a DD this tuesday!

Mind you nothing has changed on the irs app. I’m not holding my breath but hopefully it’s over. My issue was i over reported vs what my employer said I made. I can amend for more money later so I’m not pressed about it. I had the additional child tax credit also. I wanted to share to provide hope to those who have been waiting like me. I will provide an update when I get my money.

[TiredOfWaiting]

Just had my transcripts faxed they are still the same. Hopefully, they will update tonight and show a ddd for next week.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@ Rachel my TA said because they go through a back office expedited procedure that sometimes WMR and wmar don’t update. I was told the same thing and no update as of yet. Hoping in the morning, I can relax once I actually see the date.

[Rachel]

@Canes18. My TA said I should get it by the 11th but until I actually see it, I’m having a hard time believing it.

[Canes18]

@michael

You’re good! I have the exact same thing, that 290 code with the date of 5/21 and the amount of $0 is documenting they don’t owe us any interest. That’s why it says additional tax. Had it not been released by 5/21 they would’ve had an additional 4% added in that line prior to release. So happy that the wait is over :)

@rachel

I hope you hear something soon. I waited out the 60 day review and will amend later.

[Rachel]

Has anyone else who was told their refunds would be released had WMR not update? TA told me my amendment was applied and adjusted to get the correct refund but when I check WMR it still says the same original amount along with “your return is still being processed”. Also says when I check Wheres my amended return that they have not record of it. Maybe expecting those to change is a lost cause at this point. I just want to see a DD date on there! I’m still skeptical that I’m going to get it.. This has been a long almost 4 months!

[Michael]

@NoaTay3 No amendment. Just got the 4464c and waited.

[Still under review]

So my 60 days is up and I called irs and he said he would send a referral to have it released. Does anyone knows what this means ?

[NoaTay3]

@Michael Congrats!! Did you file an amendment?

[Michael]

My transcripts have been updated today with 846 code for 5/9/2018 with our original refund amount. However, there is a new 290 code w/ 5/21/2018 cycle code date. WMR says still being processed. Anyone else get this?

[NoaTay3]

Great news everyone! Just received another call from my TA and he confirmed (again) that I will definitely be getting my refund on May 9! So happy the wait is finally over! Good luck to everyone. I’m sure your time is coming soon.

[NCWaiting]

Update: I jut spoke with a representative who said that my return had been under review. The freeze had been lifted and released April 28th. WMR still hasn’t updated but she said I should receive it within the next 2-4 weeks or sooner.

[NCWaiting]

Hi everyone.
Question: How do you know if you are on a weekly cycle and what exactly does that mean? I requested a copy of my transcript and it looks exactly like my tax return. It has a cycle posted date of 20180705 and a received date of April 15, 2018.

I also noticed that on HRB, it shows my filed date as April 10 and I filed January 28th. I’m confused.

Can anyone help?

[Canes18]

@michael Bliss

I was given the same information and I’m a weekly as well. Hoping for this weekend with you.

[Michael Bliss]

No updates on WMR for me yet, but I’m a weekly, so I’m hoping for something by tomorrow. IRS rep told me that my hold was adjusted 4/26, and it could take 2-3 weeks for my refund. I received my state this AM. Filed and accepted 2/9. 4464c dated 3/15/18.

[Christie]

From some of the postings here, clearly the IRS is not working on a first-come, first-served policy.

[NCWaiting]

@artic_turtle:
I filed on January 28 and was accepted on January 29. I had bars for 2 weeks and they disappeared. WMR has remained at still being processed with date to be provided when available. Received 4464 letter dated March 5. I received my state refund mid-March. I am still waiting on the IRS. To answer your question /concern; based on my experience, my answer would be that the delays are not connected. I hope this helps.

[Taramg5]

Finally got updated today for a May 7th deposit!!

Filed on 2/21
60 day review letter was dated 3/20
Never called irs or a TA

I really believe they are working on them and are just way way far behind! Good luck to everyone!!

[Jessica]

I have also been waiting since January and under review. I swore my letter was dated 02/26 but I guess it was dated 03/05. I called IRS and the rep said my review is up tomorrow so if I get no update or notification by tomorrow to call Monday. I feel like since there apparently is no progress, I wont be anticipating a DDD at end of review. THis is getting ridiculous

[Waiting]

So I have been waiting since the 26th of Jan filed accepted the 29th. Got review letter back in Feb actually. Finally called and was put on hold. I was one of the ones that was told NOT to AMEND if you guy remember lol Well Again after tons of times being told let it be processed and that others who amended some of them still got there original amounts etc. I called since review was up the woman put me on super long hold. Then finally came back saying that she submitted it to be released and I should do nothing but keep checking WMR because it will update on there. It seemed as though she was telling me that is was removed from hold without saying it so we will see. This is just crazy but if your 60 days are up call for sure.

[TiredOfWaiting]

My TA called today and advised that they released my original refund amount and my amendment should be processed by the end of the month. She said that as a daily my stuff can update at any time (i thought i was a weekly) but should have my money as early as Monday but no later than the 18th. I’m so happy this has been a long process. F/A 2/5, 570 added to transcripts 2/24 with as of date of 3/12. Called 2/28 informed I was under review starting 2/5, called back 3/12 advised review start changed to 3/12 got and advocate. 3/13 TA requested refund release, 4/13 TA sent second request to release refund, 5/2 TA called to advise she was getting her manager and management liaison involved because refund still had not been released. The wait is almost over at least I know it’s coming. So thankful to God because I was giving up hope and getting overwhelmed.

[Shay]

I filed my taxes on 2-10 and started checking the website 72hrs later at first it said received and I checked 2 days later now it says processing. I received a letter dated 3-15 stating I was under review no action needed to be taken at this time. If I havnt heard from them in 60 days contact them I still havnt heard anything yet

[Latrice Jackson]

Congrats to everyone getting their DDD, it’s long overdue I said it before and will say it again will not be filing early again or with my last stub.

[Shawn]

I SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL$!!!! I GOT MY DD DATE OF 5/8/18!

[Rachel]

@Iris does the IRS say that you got a Deposit??

[Iris cm ortiz]

Where has my refund been deposited at . I filed them on February 07,2018

[Shawn]

Lonnie my exact situation. Just gotta wait it out unfortunately. If they wanna take an extra 60 days oh well let them because they will owe you interest in the end if they do. Im still trying to figure out if im weekly update or daily update.

[Lonnie]

I received a letter dated on Feb 27th 2018 my 60 day has been up since April 27th and still no update I called the IRS April 30th and they said that they would have to ask the dept of integrity and operations why am I still waiting and the rep took my call back number and said it could possibly take up to 60 days for them to respond. THIS IS PAST RIDICULOUS & I don’t know what else to do but wait but I am financially drained so I am hoping for an update this week. Wmr still is saying being processed, any suggestions for me ?

[Shilo]

60 days up today, called they say still processing told to contact my TA again to see if something else can b done, she sent in the proof of wages like they wanted on april 20th n still nothing 🙁

[Rachel]

@Latrice Jackson, yes I was happy that at least something was moving forward with it. Its been such a long and stressful process I won’t actually believe it until I see it! lol

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel that’s great you got good news.

[Rachel]

@latrice I spoke to soon, ha. My TA just called me and she said the IRS made the adjustment to my account yesterday and she said I could potentially see a DD next week. Crossing fingers!

[Rachel]

@Latrice Jackson Nah, nothing yet. I really don’t expect to hear anything.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel I know you mentioned today was your call back day. Did you get any news today, hopefully good.

[artic_turtle]

The weird thing, is I checked the status around 8 and it said processing on state site, and then sometime overtnight around 3am I got the refund delayed message due to Agency (Irs) review, and then oddly i checked it again this morning around 7:30/8am and the state site now says my inital review has been completed and this site is updated in real time, check back for updates on your refund. Im so confused. I hope this means a DD is finally coming, or something….

[LuvNM]

@artic_turtle
My state asked me to ID verify, but I haven’t gotten a specific answer about the reason for my IRS delay. I have a feeling they are related though.

[Daj]

I gt the same thing but my refund amount never changed

[artic_turtle]

Anyone experiencing their state refund being held, because irs is review return? our state status finally updated to: Your refund has been delayed by a public agency. We cannot issue a refund until the agency placing a hold on your refund completes its review. Once the agency completes the review, all of the refund or the remainder of your refund will be sent to you. AGENCY – IRS PHONE – 800-829-7650

Like wtf, so if the IRS is auditing us, states get held? We literally sent in every w2, and all other health insurance and 401k forms to both the irs and state agencies, and were not receiving any correspondence. Im so confused.

[T’Layne]

I F/A 3/14 with JH. The only letter I received was one saying that I had recertified for credits I claimed in 2017 and I no longer had to file an 8867. But my transcript is showing a Cycle code of 20181405 which was March 29, but it shows my return received on 4/23.2018. What does that mean?

[Michael]

@RLC: Welcome to the club. I field/accepted with TT 2/9/18, and recv’d 4464c 3/15/2018 almost a full month of waiting before I got that letter to wait another 60 days. utterly ridiculous! Hopefully, we will all have our refunds by the end of the month when they have to start paying interest.

[Rlc]

I filed March 3rd 2018 with Turbo Tax that being my second with them but not consecutively. I got a 4464c letter dated March 22 2018 and have not heard anything yet! WMR tool just says still processing. I don’t make a lot and file the same way every year. This is ridiculous!! My 60 days of waiting is up this month on May 21. Beyond frustrated !!!

[Rachel]

Update: Got a TA who filed my amended return on 3/16. Still have not received an update from her. Wheres my amended return is not showing that they received it but I did call the IRS today to see if there was an new info. There was not. But she did tell me she shows that they did receive it. She said try and contact my TA. She is supposedly scheduled to call me tomorrow. Not holding my breath.

[NoaTay3]

@SJM I hate that I can’t edit. Lol! It was actually a week and a few days ago. I hear ppl have bad and good experiences. I decided to just play my luck because it couldn’t get any worse than waiting, right?

[Shawn]

Will transcripts update automatically or do they update with wmr?

[NoaTay3]

@SJM I got my TA on 4/20 and he called me this morning to tell me it was released. So it was like 2 weeks and a few days ago.

[Mr. Miller]

Filed in early January 2018. Accepted on January 19. Claimed the EIC and it’s May 1, 2018 and I am still in processing.
I’ve called so many times and go so many different responses I have thrown in the towel.
Went through the 60 day review. Once that was over I called and they said 60 more days.
However, they still take taxes out of my check and their is nothing we can do about them holding our money. They have no one to really regulate them. The TA’s work for the IRS!

[SJM]

@NoaTay3 when did you get a TA if you don’t mind me asking?

[NoaTay3]

Good news! Just received a call from my TA and he states the IRS has lifted the hold on my return and my DDD is 5/9. Says I should see WMR update on Saturday. My amended return still has yet to be processed but at least I’m getting the bulk of it now. It’s been a long wait and I’m glad I got a TA to expedite things. Good luck everyone.

[Unbelievable 2018 tax refund]

I got letter to verify I verified on 3/19 still being processed … My 9wks will be up on 5/14 or a little sooner then that!! I see not light at end of this tunnel. This is freaking ridiculous .. Please give me My Refund

[Michael]

@Fred: Do keep us updated when you have confirmation of your refund being processed.

[Michael]

…and why do they need 3-4 weeks more? I’m surprised they didn’t tell you another 60 days. BTW…that 3-4 weeks more they told you today falls suspiciously right around the time the IRS would be required to pay interest which is 45 days after the 4/17/18 date.

[Michael]

@Fred…Sounds like my story except I filed/accepted 2/9/2018 w/ 4464c 3-15-2018. What is so crazy about all of this for me is that, if all these returns flagged for some reason to review, why didn’t they give us the opportunity to verify whatever it was from the moment we went into review?

[Fred]

Here’s my story. I filed my taxes on jan 29. On Feb 26 got this letter 4464c saying Dear taxpayer: we received your Income tax return and are in the process of conducting a thorough review of your return information. To wait 60 days and there’s nothing I could do. So I wait March came around still checking where’s my refund nothing Still being processed same oh BS. I’ve called that 800 8291040 same B’S still being processed. April 30th I finally talked to a real person about my taxes what’s sup. Now this person is saying that the irs has released my info to allow 3 to 4 weeks more that the wheres my refund will show a flipping date when I should be receiving my refund.
Don’t get me wrong the rep was coo but im past being coo with this waiting game I’ve got bills to pay and a family to support. Like J.G. Wentworth it’s my money and i need it NOW..

[Latrice Jackson]

Someone asked a question the other day about amended returns and how you receive them, well I just spoke to my TA and she told me that if you never received your refund and had to amend and if you requested direct deposit that’s what you will get, if you got a refund already and had to amend and expecting more money that will come in the form of a paper check. I hope for everyone with a TA that you start to see things move on along and start to get some good news soon. I will never file early again off my pay stub this year definitely taught me a lesson.

[Shawn]

@michael, No, they said no info is needed and nothing has changed with my account and no updates.

[Michael]

@Shawn: Please keep us all updated when you get your return. I’m hoping that you don’t have to wait very long. Also, did they give you a reason if anything was missing?

[Denise]

Well I just requested TA for hardship today. Called irs. Still no change or update. Hopefully this will expedite things!

[Shawn]

Just spent an hour on the phone with the IRS. She sent a request over to the department that is reviewing my return and she said that it could take up to 60 days for them to review it so my new date call them back is June 29th if I don’t hear anything from by that day. This whole situation is hell.

[Rachel]

@Ashley this is week 13 that I will have been waiting.

[Michael]

@Shawn. We all have similar 45-60 day stories. From my best understanding, use the date of your 4464c letter (mine is dated 3-15) and apply 60 days to that. With that being said, it appears that many (including yourself) are now up to their 60 day mark w/ no update. I’ve read from other posts, that people then call the IRS, the rep emails the appropriate dept, and you are given the 60 day story again. However, its not supposed to take that long (according to other posts re this issue).

Also, keep in mind, the IRS has to start paying interest 45 days from the return deadline (4/17/2018). I’ve said this before…I think 99% of us will miraculously have our refund by the last week of May / first week of June.

[Ashley C Hill]

Mine is still staying that the taxes are still being processed and my amount is still on the side with y martial status and my social as well, but this has been like this for almost 4 weeks. this is my 4 weeks and still waiting on a refund date

[Shawn]

@Michael Bliss. Thank you, I am very disappointed this year. I have NEVER had to wait this long for my return and I file my return correctly and honestly every year. This is just insane to me. I really dont want to wait another 60 days. At first they had told me i was on a 45 day review when i originally called then they changed it to 60 days. Its horrible that the irs can do whatever they want and there is nothing we can do about it.

[Michael Bliss]

@shawn: call tomorrow. I’m guessing that if you have no update, the IRS will tell you they are forwarding to the appropriate dept, and to allow up to 60 days. Even though they tell you another wait, it shouldn’t be that long. I’m guessing you would have your refund by mid – end of May. Either way, you need to call tomorrow.

[Shawn]

Filed jan 29th accepted jan 30th bars disappeared mid Feb. Been calling the IRS on many occasions. I’ve been told many excuses the first one was that they had to wait because I get the EIC and the ACTC. I’ve been received a letter dated March 1st stating that I was on a 60-day review period called the IRS and they told me that they had to verify my income because my income was off second time I called asking if I can send in all my paperwork for all my income and I was told that all of my income was fine that they verified all of that and that they were verifying my dependent third time I called they told me that they were verifying my identity every time I called they told me that there is no issue with my return and they need no information from me to just wait the 60 days my 60 days is up in 2 days and I have not received any updates from the IRS and on wmr it says still processing. I do not qualify for hardship so what do I do does this mean that I am going to be on another 60-day review?

Codes on transcript are as follows
150 dated 3/5/18
806 dated 4/15/18
766 dated 4/15/18
768 dated 4/15/18
570 dated 3/5/18

This is the first time this has happened to me. I have claimed my son for the last 5 years. Given that the 60 days is up on Tuesday what should I do. Oh my cycle code is 20180705

[Spookyrides]

Still waiting, after our 45 day wait. Just another “30 Days” or less I’m told. Filed waaaaaa back in January. Unreal
.

[Ashley]

My T.A told me my wages were off by 1000. My tax preparer made the mistake. I was told to amend. I’m just curious if its the right thing to do? Will it speed up or delay my process? Or should I wait out the 60 days till 05/15?

[Shilo]

We filled and accepted January 23rd, got a letter dated march 2nd. Got a TA over a week ago she said 2-3 weeks. The irs “says” employer didnt send in proof of wages so we faxed her a copy of pay stub and employer sent her a fax of proof also. WMR still says processing

[msnicki]

Still here! No second letter. 60 day should be up 5/4. So just waiting no update. No TA. No hardship. Just waiting

[Denise]

Still waiting and no update for us!!! Still says “still processing” on wmr. Accepted 2/10/18. Received letter dated 3/26/18. Review should be over 5/10/18. Still no DDD or haven’t recieved another letter.

[Shilo]

No we havent updated or heard from our TA

[Toni]

Well, I see there are only a couple entries today, so is anyone still here? It certainly must mean that everyone must finally has either received or about to receive their refunds or at least their DDD. If anyone is left here, did you update last night?

[TiredOfWaiting]

47 days with my TA and no changes. Review was up on 4/26 irs won’t give me any info because I have a TA so I won’t be calling them anymore. If I don’t have my money by 5/12 I’m thinking about getting rid of the TA because honestly she has done nothing to help me.

[Keemo]

Filed 2/12
Bars disappeared 2/25
Letter received 3/19 sent on 3/15
TA assigned on 3/23
846 on transcript two days ago
Goodluck everyone

[Derrick cross]

Still processing in May 2018?? Filed in Jan

[Denise]

How do you get a TA?! @wantmymoneynow

[Canes18]

I filed ours off of last pay stub and forgot about the health insurance difference so w-2 was off by almost 2k. Withholdings were all correct. IRS owes us another $100 with an amendment that I have not filed and likely won’t, they can keep that $100 after all this mess. No TA because we didn’t qualify, not willing to risk account standings/credit and I feel bad taking away from someone who is in a true hardship. I say all that to say it’s hard to know if there’s an issue. Obviously the IRS will have to notify you at some point that there’s an issue but Im not seeing them hold all returns for errors like income that were in the IRS’ favor. I know we are all getting different info but I can see how amending now could delay what’s already in process so it’s really a craps shoot.

[Latrice Jackson]

I finally got my DD date of May 2nd, tax advocate called me and said it had been adjusted and now finally completed, everyone still waiting please follow your first mind and get a TA if you feel something is wrong.

[Prettyladyte]

@Canes18 thank you

[Canes18]

@prettyladyte

800-829-0922 press 1 for English and then after that hit 00. It will say it doesn’t recognize your entry and pop you into the phone que. Really hoping the rep I got today had it right and my return is on it’s way out of the pit that is the IRS :p

[WantMyMoneyNow]

I have followed this thread for months now. Here’s my story…

I filed 1/31, accepted 2/1. Lost bars a few weeks later. Got 4464c letter dated 2/22. My 60 days was up 4/23. I called the IRS in early March. The lady said that there was nothing I needed to do and to wait the 60 days. I called the IRS 4/23 and the man stated he didn’t have info on why they were holding my taxes but he put in the referral for it to be released. He said prossesing the referral could take another 60 days. He also suggested I get a Tax Advocate to expedite the process because they are essentially the only ones who can speed the process up.
I called Tax Advocate 4/24. The woman confirmed my information and said I should receive a call from the advocate on 4/27. Surprisingly, my advocate called on 4/26. She explained everything clearly and thoroughly. She said I left a W2 off of my return (which I knew but I was going to amend after I received my refund) and she also said another employer submitted one of my W2’s to the IRS twice. She said she sent a referral for my return to be released. She told me to be checking my account between May 2nd-May 15th. She stated she would call me back on May 15th for an update and hopefully I would have the return by then so she could close my case. She also told me that I was daily update and not a weekly update. She said if I was a weekly update it would take longer. I told the advocate that I had a disconnection notice for utilities but she never asked me to send proof. She also told me that on her end it looks like the IRS owes me another $350 in earned income credit and that I could do an amended after I got my return if I wanted to. I’m assuming it has something to do with the double W2 submission by my employer but I’m not sure. By the way, I’m in Florida and my tax advocate is in Jacksonville. Oh one last thing, my advocate said the IRS is really backed up and that they could ask for additional days beyond the May 15th deadline she gave them. She said since she knows they are backed up, they usually grant them the extra days.

My honest opinion is that if your return is still being held and it’s past the 60 days or your 60 days is approaching then more than likely there is a problem with your return. If you don’t get a tax advocate and find out exactly what the issue is, the IRS will probably take as long as they want to process your return and it probably won’t get processed until the rush is over which would probably be June/July or longer. If I hadn’t gotten an advocate, I probably would still be waiting like the rest of you.

[Prettyladyte]

@Canes18 what 1800# did you call to find out about being released if you don’t mind me asking ?

[Canes18]

I didn’t get a TA and according to the 800# mine was released yesterday. My 60 days is up on Sunday.

[Shilo]

I agree @chrissy! No one needs to sit and wait! Nothing will get done if u do!

[MKR]

@Michael

It is kind of suspicious. Does that mean that in previous years they have been letting it slide and now they are mandated to do their jobs correctly or is it one of many stall tactics that they appear to be using? It hurts my brain to try to analyze the IRS this year. Everything seems so random.

[Chrissy]

Just thought I’d share that I filed 1/29 and received the 4464C letter dated 2/28. Called twice, once in march and again a few weeks ago and was told no other letters have been mailed out and that they don’t see anything that I need to do but just wait. I called again today and talked to a nice man and told him that I have patiently waited my 60 days and still have not seen any transcript updates. He then told me the IRS does not have the W2 from my main job, as I work 3 jobs. He referred me to the TA department as I have a foreclosure acceleration letter to justify a hardship. So my advice is to not sit around and wait the entire 60 days even though the letter or people are telling you there is nothing you can do. Chances are there is something wrong with your return, they just won’t tell you. Good luck to everyone

[Vee]

@laura I’m in the same boat but they guy I talked to say it probably won’t take 60 days. I got a TA just in case though.

[Laura]

F/A 1/29 got the 4464c in February and I Finally called today as my 60 days is up and was told by the very nice women that my refund was still not ready to be released per the system but because it has been past 60 days that she can write up a referral to the processing department informing them to either release my refund or provide me with information they need to release my refund but go figure this could take up to 60 another 60 days. 😡 anyone have a similar situation and gotten their refund yet?

[Shilo]

My house is starting into for closure so we qualified for the TA, still waiting n dont know how much longer it will be but if the r going to expedite things for u cuz of ur electric bill then hopefully they will for us cuz of for closure threats ☹️

[Michael]

Does anyone else find it a bit odd that so many people (including me) are being told that an employer didn’t report wages? This is all so insane. Also, many people (including me) already submitted our W2’s with our filed return.

[Xxtina]

Finally got a T.A my 60 days review was up on April 23rd. I had to let my electricity bill be late so I’m on a 15 days notice on that so they expediate my taxes. But the TA told me my employer never reported my wages thats why its been on holding. I also used my last paystub and there was a 2500 difference on the wages box 1 only. So that makes me entitled to 500 more. She told me to edit and fax over to her and also fax the last stub and w2. I filed January 23!! I have been patient for so long.

[Vee]

@michael

I called today bc I had a weird feeling that I was going to get told I had to wait longer. I figured the earlier I found out I won’t have to get my hopes up. I’m glad I called today though. Two of my employers didn’t report my wages and the IRS has me down as only making 5,000 last year which is way off. I got a TA today to hopefully speed the process up. The TA should call me by Tuesday.

[Ashley]

I dont understand why i got a 4464c letter saying to do nothing but i got fed up got a t.A turns out I’m 1000 over in wages how idk but I have to amend my review was suppose to be over early may now I’m screwed. I’m just glad i got a t.a sooner then later. I’m tired of lingering around just waiting.

[Shilo]

I agree and said the same thing elrier michael

[Michael]

If the IRS has to start paying interest 45 days after the 4/17 deadline, I am going to make a wild guess that 99% of people waiting will all miraculously have their refunds right before that deadline.

[Shilo]

Oh yeah we lost all bars right away n WMR has never changed from “its processing “

[Shilo]

F/A January 23rd…
Called march 2nd told we should get a letter….
Got letter dated March 2nd 45-60 day hold…
Finally after calling the irs n never getting any where with the rude people they have working there we contacted a TA a week ago, she had us fax a copy of the last pay stub said they never got our W-2 from the employer…. she said can take 2-3 weeks.. who knows anymore 🙁

[Latrice Jackson]

@Mimiikei I faxed my amended to my TA on March 22, I just saw last week on Where’s my amended refund that it was received on that day, She called me 4/20 stating everything was almost done and they were waiting on one more thing on mine to process and it would be thru, she said she would call me again tomorrow, but not sure if WMR or WMAR will update with new amount.

[Spooky]

@Rachel, I used my last pay stub to file, then my former employer added some expense reimbursements as pure income to my W2.Problem is they sold the company last fall and the dalwas finalized Jan. 1, so I can’t even call or ask anyone to fix the issue. There’s no one left. So now I’m looking st the IRS amending it for a much smaller refund. Which is fine…. but still 3 months later is crazy

[Rachel]

@T’Layne, Sorry but most of us don’t even know what the heck is going on with our own returns. You are going to have to call and ask someone (good luck with that) or get a TA.

[T’Layne]

Utter confusion !!

F/A Jackson Hewitt 3/14
Bars disappeared about 2 weeks later, info and amount on side stayed the same, Still processing, TT152

Insight anybody ??

[Mimiikei]

How long after amending with a TA? She called on 4/18 (the first day i talked too her) basically told me what each week of the process will be after i sent in 1040x. , but was told she’ll call me back on May 14. I amended 4/19 (faxed everything in same day). Anyone knows will i update before her call ?

[Rachel]

@spooky, I don’t understand your W2 did not match what your employer sent in. Isn’t the W2 what they send to the IRS? Whats on it is what is reported, correct?

[Latrice Jackson]

This tax year has been super crazy and I will not file early again next year, and guys if your not getting the right answers from the IRS I would definitely get in touch with a tax advocate, I can say mine has been in touch with me and keeping me updated about my return.

[Spooky]

So my 45 day was up, and lo & behold, I called and was told now it will be at least another 30 days from today. Seems it’s not been processed but sitting in another dept. that’s “behind”. I might even get another letter, but as my W2 didn’t match what my employer sent, I’m looking at a much smaller refund that they will automatically amend on their end. I swear next year I’m going to wait to File as there’s no rhyme or reason for any of this! Oh and was also told there’s nothing I can do but “wait”.

[Michael]

@Vee: Just curious, if your 60 days is up tomorrow, why did you call today? Anyway, sorry to hear that it hasn’t been touched. My review period is supposed to be up sometime early May, and I’m fearing the same thing. Do you think getting the TA will end up delaying it further?

[Vee]

Update….the IRS is missing my wages from two employers. That’s why my return is being held. My TA should be calling me on Tuesday. I will update if that happens.

[Vee]

So my 60 days from letter date is up tomorrow. I callled the IRS today and guess what they told me. My review was never started. I have to wait another 60 days. The guy I spoke to sent a referral over to get it done. He said he doesn’t think it will take 60 days. A shut off notice is enough to get a TA so I’m going to try to get one now.

[Latrice Jackson]

@pastfedup have you received your direct deposit yet and did you have a TA?

[Pastfedup]

Correction it’s not STILL processing it’s just processing

[Pastfedup]

Update!!!!

Filed 1/15
Bars went missing 2/14
Verified identity 2/24
Requested TA 3/15
Submitted admendment 3/20
Hold lifted 3/22
Dd 3/24
4/24 WMR updated to tax return still processing WMAR no update

[TiredOfWaiting]

I read online they have to start paying interest 45 days after the tax deadline. If this is true that should fall around Memorial day weekend. I really hope we all have our refunds before then.

[Latrice Jackson]

So when do they have to start paying interest on your refund if they haven’t paid you yet.

[Rachel]

@Jessica, yeah I think the review timelines are a bunch of BS. Its not like there is anyone holding them accountable to it. What a sh** show this year has been.

[Jessica]

My taxes were accepted 01/29, I received a 60 day review letter beginning of March dated 02/26 stating I did not need to do anything….I am at the end of 60 days and still nothing. Starting to think I will never get a refund

[Naomionekanobe]

So irritated.

Just spoke to a ta and was told now there will be a letter sent and i have To respond to it.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Jaci that’s horrible your situation is a hardship and i don’t know why they are saying it’s not.

[Jaci]

I called back and spoke to the IRS. She did not confirm nor deny what the TA said about my wages being off. In no certain terms, she said to give it the full 60 days to process. As of right now, it’s still on hold. Anything I do now, before the 60 days is up May delay it further. She said NOT to amend it right now as it could delay it even more. May 1st my 60 days is up. She said call back then and if nothing to seek help from a tax professional or contact the TA again.

[Latrice Jackson]

@SJM I requested one on March 16, finally got to speak to her I the 19th amended and faxed my taxes to her on 21st they received on 22nd, so now she’s been communicating with me kinda weekly as of Friday i had one thing pending then i should be clear for my refund by this week.

[SJM]

@latrice could you tell us when you requested a TA?

[LuvNM]

Update: I filed 1/29, 4464c letter dated 2/23/18.

Called the IRS just now because today marks 60 days and I haven’t heard back. The rep sent a referral to the dept that’s been reviewing my return and said to allow another 60 days. They just take their sweet time, don’t they?

Unfortunately, i am managing to get by (barely) for rent, utilities, etc, so I don’t think I would qualify for hardship. I might call to check just in case though.

[TiredOfWaiting]

Just talked to my TA she said the IRS should have responded to her second request to release my refund on yesterday but they didn’t. She sent a request for update while we were on the phone. She said that she went ahead and sent in my amendment on the 18th. She said 6-8 weeks to process she said that most of the time it can’t be tracked on wmar or wmr because it goes through different channels in order to be processed faster. She said they can still release my original refund amount and send me the difference later. My review is supposed to be up on the 26th still no letters. F/A 2/5.

[Rachel]

@Jaci, hmmm, well might be worth paying a light bill late for…. All I did was send in a late utility bill and said I was having a hardship.

@Canes18 I am in Washington and I think mine is out of Seattle.

[Canes18]

@rachel

If you don’t mind sharing, where is your TA out of? Southeast region?

[Stephanie]

My amended tax return did not show up on WMAR it updated on the regular WMR with the new amended amount on the side and I also get direct deposit. I had heard they don’t do direct deposit with amended returns it is check only. So hopefully everyone updates soon.

[Jaci]

@Rachel

The tax acvicate told me my situation is NOT a hardship. I am not in need of the money to pay any bill, my surgery is not scheduled (was waiting to schedule til I had this money plus it’s elective, closing on the house is not a hardship either.

I’m going to call the IRS and see what they say.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel that’s crazy I would call back I dont care if she got an attitude mine was like that, but I told her you have your money so your not that concerned but I’m in need of mine so can you expedite something and I guess she did.

[Rachel]

@Latrice, call back. I have yet to get any kind of timeline as to when I might get a refund.

[Moni]

My WMR does still say still being processed… But my transcripts updated last night to a code 846 with date of 4/27. So I guess WMR does not always update even if there is movement with the taxes

[Latrice Jackson]

Rachel is that your refund day or call back day

[Rachel]

@Latrice, she told me May 2nd I believe. I’ll believe it when I see it. SIgh…

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel just hang in there maybe it’s some updates coming this week for you when is your next call with her.

[Rachel]

@Latrice, glad its almost over for you! I would call my TA but the last time I spoke with her (after leaving several messages) she basically told me not to call her and just to wait and hear from her because she didn’t have any news for me…. I can’t imagine why after 4 weeks its still not showing up on the wheres my amended return. At this point I’m starting to feel like I’m just over it! There is absolutely nothing I can do. Its definitely been a lesson in patience.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel the regular WMR want update our amended returns it will either be on where’s my amended or your TA will call you with an update like mine did, I’m waiting on one more thing to clear then I’LL have my refund she said by next week.

[NCWaiting]

Hi everyone. Nothing has changed for me. Still processing; date will be provided when available.

[Rachel]

@Latrice no I have not. And still not showing anything different on WMR or Wheres my amended return.

[Rachel]

@jaci that IS considered a hardship.

[Jaci]

Update…Called TA office and they said the hold up is due to my wages being off by about $1000. This was my own error when I entered the info into TT. Unfortunately, since I have no hardship, they can’t help me to get it released. Not sure what to do….

[Jaci]

My 60 days is up May 4th. I’ve found out though that I have to have a surgery. My health insurance is a high deductible plan..so now I actually need my refund so that I can pay for this surgery. I may call the TA office back before the week is out. I had called earlier but didn’t have a hardship. Idk if this will be considered a hardship or not, but it’s worth a try. We are also trying to get our house bought and my refund was supposed to go in the kitty for closing costs and what not. :(

[ShallowWaters]

I am still here and still in the same boat as well…. nothing has changed on my end, everything is still EXACTLY the same. I have given up on ever seeing it this year.

[kdwall896]

I filed and was accepted on 1/29/18. I received a 4464c letter on March 9th dated March 6th. I had to verify my income. I got a TA on March 15th and I will receive my refund finally on April 25th.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel have you heard anything yet from your TA?

[Kristen1983]

Jim,

They told me June also…I’m hoping that’s just the standard that they have to say, lol. I still haven’t gotten my bars back, but they said I was back in processing, so hoping to see those little orange bars soon. Happy waiting!

[jlm]

Filed and accepted 2/12.
Bars disappeared about a week later.

I eventually called IRS and they said my filing status was wrong. I filed on H&R Block Premium online. They had a mistake in the filing status portion that caused me to use the wrong filing status. They have not so much as acknowledged my request for a refund of my filing fee.

Anyway, I got bars back last week, so there is some progress. The IRS said it will probably be June before I see my refund.
Thanks H&R Block. You suck and I will tell anyone who asks that!

[Jocelyn]

Hi everyone I filled & accepted 02/10 got same 4464c letter dated March 15 45-60 days start from date mentioned. But I then ordered my transcripts with cycle 20180903 with a received date of April 15?? Now I am confused does the 45 days start from the 4464c letter or the transcripts. It seems everytime I call I get no help

[Still under review]

No update again filed 2-2 accepted 2-2 went in review and I have called it’s twice both times they say wait til May 4 now I called and she said wait til May 7 then call back that my refund is still frozen and they haven’t processed it yet. So I have been waiting since February and they haven’t even looked at it. I decided to order my transcripts and couldn’t get them online and had to call to get them mailed. Now I’m waiting on trans ruin come before I decide to get a TA or not.

[Vee]

@jaci

I was hoping the same thing. 60 days from my letter date is on the 27th

[Jaci]

Was really hoping I would see a DDD this weekend…But no. Still same old message :(

[JAY- I WANT MY MONEY now!!!]

I have posted twice already!! I filed 1/29/18
Bars went away 2/15/18
The following week I called IRS they said I’m under review 45 days to wait!! Well beginning in March I received letter to wait and an additional 60 more days!! I called a TA cause by now I was beyond pissed!! I had to amend my taxes and send to her. I had to send W2s for a prior job cause they messed up.. I sent everything around 2nd or 3 Rd week in March!
I waited and waited cause Everytime I called IRS they gave me bullshit!! My tax advocate called me the second week in April after I had called her 5 times!! Lol she said everything was good I was just waiting on It’s to update.. well4/20 it finally 4/ 20
DDD 4/24 I feel y’all pain! We all need and want our money we all worked hard for! Hope everyone get there Money..
And my amount went up as well.. they processed my amended too and added to the rest of my money!

[Leeya]

1 more thing wmr still have my orig amount not the amended amount

[Leeya]

Gm you guys im going to post my story again. I stopped posting because i really had got fed up and just said it’ll come whenever. Ok i filed and was accepted jan 29th. Bars disappeared on feb 15th. I never updated so i called irs 3x. 2 reps said 45 day review and the other rep said it was actc. I was not happy with the diff answers so i got a TA 1st week of march.she called me march 8th and said my wages werent adding up which was due to 1 employer never submitted my earnings and i didnt file 1 of my w2’s. Ok so she called me back march 26 and had me fax my w2 in and then told me to amend so i did that same day.she called me back march 10th and said she put in a requeat for release.march 17th she called back again and said its going to be another 3 weeks for the irs to process my amended return and change my amount and she will call again may 2nd.at this point im like ok whatever im soooo over it.everyday i was checking my amended return status and it was always saying no record of amended so yesterday i checked wmr and it updated to accepted with a dd of 04/24 and my amended still says no record.so i pray everyone gets theres soon.this has been a very long drawn out process.

[artic_turtle]

I’m still here and I have officially have accepted my refund is not coming anytime this year. I filed and was accepted 01/31 on 02/17 I received the 60 day do nothing review letter dated 02/12. Transcripts were blank until march, and H and R Block updated my filing date from 01/31 to 03/01. I never received any correspondence except the review letter that was triggered before my return was supposedly officially filed according to h and r blocks new date. I can’t view transcripts online and can only get them mailed. I received new ones today with no codes regarding any notices ever sent , but now have the TC 424 examination request, which is dated exactly 60 days from my review letter, again a review letter I received, before they are claiming my taxes were even “officially” filed. Im so confused….. I refuse to call, because I don’t qualify for a hardship not expect to get any real answers from anyone. I just dont understand why it takes 60 days to review for another review….. Blah!! I throw in the towel. I simply feel bad for the people, who rely on their refunds to catch up, thankfully thats not me, but still sucks!

[Sarah]

that’s great latrice I’m so glad everybody getting some type of feedback its very stressful

[Latrice Jackson]

My TA just called and said I should expect my refund to release by next Friday, they (IRS) just updated my account and let her know. I so glad that she is keeping me posted I’ was tired of wondering what was going on.

[Sarah]

My cycle date was 20180803 so that means I was weekly ! Just in case someone wanted to know

[Rachel]

I haven’t heard diddly squat from my TA. She filed my amended return on 3/26 and its yet to show up on the “wheres my amended return”. She said she’d call me the first week of May. This blows.

[Sarah]

My timeline I got a Tax advocate March 22 she sent me a letter March 25 saying she will contact me 4/12 in the process she was getting my refund expedited on 4/12 she said the its released it but haven’t gave her a due date she will call 4/20 today with a day my wmr never updated still stuck on your refund is being processed she called me to day with the DD

[Kristie]

@sarah what was the timeline of the TA requesting a release of your refund? I talked to my TA April 9 said she was requesting to have mine expedited told me it would take 7-10 days 2 weeks the latest. Have called her this morning left message. Hoping mine will be released soon.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Sarah did your TA call you or did you just check WMR?

[NoaTay3]

@Sarah Congratulations. I’m hoping by middle of May for mine. Go enjoy your refund!

[NoaTay3]

Correction: My figures filed DO NOT match my W-2 (I had a typo).

[Sarah]

Good morning guys my refund was release today after 11 long weeks TA got it approved DD for 4/25

[NoaTay3]

TA just contacted me and told me my figures filed match my W-2. He asked for me to send in another W-2. Says he should know more by May 2. Imagine if I never got a TA. When would the IRS have informed me that they needed a copy of my W-2? Well, the waiting game continues…

[Keemo]

@newtocali

Could you provide more details in terms of the process.
My TA had requested a letter to be sent from my employer so that they can confirm(they said that they will call).
Letter was faxed and then she had mentioned that the file was sent back to the IRS.

[Ashley]

Did anyone else get thier transcripts with no codes, no dates, nothing but the actual credit that I submitted when I filed.? This is just ridiculous filled 02/10 still nothing!!

[NCWaiting]

Good morning everyone. I just called and to my surprise, got the very same representative that I spoke with on yesterday. That was the end of my excitement. He said that there was no change at this time.

[Jaci]

Since someone mentioned educational credits causing the delay..It made me wonder…I don’t have educational credits but I did claim some property damage in relation to Hurricane Irma. It wasn’t alot…like $500..so maybe that’s what the hold up is on mine.

[A Cáceres]

Mi reembolso se está tardando sera k me llega esa carta ase 3 semanas llame y me dijeron k esperara

[A Cáceres]

Mi reembolso se está tardando sera k llega esa carta ase 3 semanas llame y me dijeron k esperara

[Lilu]

@MiLeBr . what was the code on your account transcript before you receive refund?

[newtocali]

My refund just hit my account at 7:30 pm I filed 2/1 accepted same day lost bars 2 weeks later got hold letter 2 weeks after that got a TA second week of March found out an employer didn’t report wages TA requested release recieved call back from TA 4-14 stating IRS released refund my refund hit my account 7:30 pm today I also did have a offset that was taken WMR never updated after bars disappeared

[MiLeBr]

Bit the bullet and called the Tax Advocate line last Thursday. F/A 1/22, please hold letter dated 2/23. No codes on transcripts. Got a call from my advocate yesterday and from what she saw the IRS is saying they didn’t receive my W2 to which my employer said bull****. So begins the he said she said battle. My tax advocate said just to fax over my copy of the W2 and I should have my refund in 4-6 weeks. Possibly sooner since the tax rush is over. I’m not holding my breath. My employer has never not sent in my W2 before, kinda sounds like a stall tactic on the part of the IRS. If nothing happens I am suppose to get a call back on May 17th. Keep y’all updated

[Rachel]

Could I POSSIBLY get someone on the phone at the IRS who isn’t completely foul and sounding completely annoyed to look up my account status?? I swear every time I call I get the same attitude. I mean that IS their job right? They all must hate what they do or something. I’ve read comments on here of people getting someone nice on the phone…but I have yet to!

[MKR]

Some good news for everyone waiting on their returns to be processed whether you owe or are due a refund —- I read an article that said chances of getting audited this year are the lowest in 15 years due to IRS cutbacks in 2010. Whatever that is worth, one less thing to be worried about.

[Rachel]

@Latrice, Nope!

[Samantha]

@NCWaiting I claimed an education credit but have not received refund yet. Filed 1/29

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel can you see your amended return yet?

[Sarah]

@ latrice I hope so to TA didn’t request anything from me when I first got one they were saying I was missing a w2 she didn’t ask for anything so I’m hoping my money is approve when she calls tomorrow I’m tired of waiting

[Latrice Jackson]

So I requested one on the 16 of March, I spoke to her that Monday on the 19th, faxed her everything on the 20th, I see that they updated the system the other day they have my amended return so maybe we will all see a deposit or something tonight.

[Sarah]

I requested a tax advocate March 22 because the irs reps kept hang up on me after being told I was on a 45 day review as of Feb 15 then I received a 4464c letter dated 3/2 to allow 60days my return has been stuck on still processing since then!

[AC]

Filed/Accepted 1/31. 60 day letter on March 14 (Review up May 12). Had a hardship so I called and got an advocate. She told me a few weeks back that the IRS was missing my current employer’s W2, so I sent in documentation that same day. She returned a call I had placed Monday to tell me that all was good and it was being released soon, but she didn’t have a date, but should be soon. Fees for filing with Taxslayer already came out of my bank account due to the long wait, so I am hoping for a quick deposit.

Anyone have a similar situation with a success story after it? I am hoping to update Saturday and get a DDD for next week.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Sarah when did you request a TA? If you don’t mind me asking what was wrong with your return or was it the standard 45, 60 day hold?

[Latrice Jackson]

Just spoke to my TA and my call back date it Monday 0n 4/23, but she stated between now and then she would call me my return looks great since they received my amended and it says pending so I’m guessing it will update tonight or tomorrow, fingers crossed

[gemini]

does it matter if tax topic 152 is missing or still there ..what is the difference

[Sarah]

For any one with a TA updates happen on Thursday night’s that’s the only time you’ll see and update ! My tax Advocate put in the request to release my refund 4/12 it takes the irs a week to release it out next schedule call is tomorrow 4/20 I’ve been waiting since 2/1 11 weeks ago so hopefully this is the end!

[Michael]

NCWaiting: With a 3/7/2018 4464c letter, 60 days would put you at 5/7/2018. Keep checking and let us know if you process sooner.

[NCWaiting]

By chance, has anyone on this forum claimed any education credits and have received their refund? Thanks,

[Michael]

@MKR: Well, there you have it…a full 60 day wait. I guess that puts mine at 5-15-2018 for an update. Keep us updated if you get processed sooner.

[NCWaiting]

I just called the Tax Advocate line and spoke with an extremely nice gentleman. He informed me that returns with form 8863 (education credits) are not moving forward until May 7th.

[MKR]

I F/A 1/30 with Turbo Tax. Received WV state refund 2/21. Received 4464c letter dated 3/9. The last IRS rep I spoke to in mid-March informed me that my review was up April 19 and that I should call back then. Just got off the phone with rep who said that I was misinformed regarding the 4/19 date, but that this date was documented in my file. He said that my review is up May 9 and said if my funds were not released by then that his department has the authority to escalate my case. I hope that me calling today does not trigger a flag for them to send out an additional notice. So, 3 weeks and counting ….

[NCWaiting]

I filed my return on 1/28. It was accepted on 1/29. I received a 4464c letter dated 3/7. I have spoken to 2 IRS reps. One said to just wait and the other said that if nothing has changed by 4/19, call them back on 4/20. I called the 1-800-829-1040 and the automated response is the same as on the website; tax return is still being processed. 152 tax topic. Trying not to get discouraged. Any suggestions from anyone?

[NoaTay3]

@Jaci If their “systems are still down” today you can request your account transcripts online. I, also, cannot view mine online. I request onlineto get it mailed and I usually get it within 5 days.

[Jaci]

First the rep told me 45 days from 2/15 due to EIC and ACTC. In that time frame the letter dated 3/5 came and it said 60 days. So I called..twice..Rep #1 told me 45 days from 3/5 and the next one told me 60 days from 3/5.

Yesterday, 4/18, was the 45 days from 3/5 and still nothing. My 60 days is 5/3.

Still just getting the generic message of “we have your return and it’s being processed” blah blah blah. My amount in the side bar never disappeared. Can’t check transcripts online as it won’t recognize any of my account numbers.

Called the other day to request new transcripts and was told system was down. Might try again today…

[Michael]

@Kristie: Based on a 45-60 day wait, it looks like you should know something on or before April 27. Keep us updated.

[Kristie]

Filed and accepted on Jan 29 4464c letter dated Feb 27. Called and called and called with the same being reviewed nothing to do just wait. Finally on April 5 contacted tax advocate she called back April 9 stated that there was a difference of 59$ and that she would request for my refund to be released to me since it wasn’t a big amount and to file an amended return once I receive my refund. It is now the 18 of April and wmr states the same as it has been since feb 15. Just beyond frustrated!! It’s been 79 days since my returns were accepted

[NoaTay3]

I called the IRS again and she said that she would send a referral in to have my refund released to me since it’s been past 45 days since my 4464c letter. She claimed someone would contact me within 60 days if they have any further questions. LOL! This is getting so crazy!

[Kristen1983]

I e-filed my return, only for it to be rejected because I didn’t have my pin. Well my pin was mailed to my old address on file with the IRS from last year. I ended up having to mail in my return on March 20, received one bar about 5 days later, only for all bars to disappear, and the generic still processing message to pop up.

I waited about three weeks and finally called the IRS today and received the MOST HELPFUL woman, on my first time to call. I consider myself very lucky.

She informed me that because I had identity theft last year, and that I didn’t file with a pin, that was causing the hold up. She asked me some questions about last years return, I answered them, and then she was able to tell me that I was back in the processing sequence.

She of course gave me the 6-9 week time frame window, but then did assure me that it most likely won’t take that long.

Hope this helps anyone with missing bars. Moral of the story, missing bars doesn’t ALWAYS mean review. Call the IRS, and try to get information. Not I wait….again!

[Laura]

F/A 1/29 4464c dated 2/26 wait 60 days no update or new information, yesterday my as of date on my transcript changed from 3/12 to 4/23 and now looking today it appears to be back to the 3/12 date – this happen to anyone else?

[Rachel]

@MILeBr yes tell me about it. Me and my ex owed some back taxes a few years ago and I swear they sent us some kind of correspondence about it WEEKLY. I filed my taxes in January and have been in review since and still have not received ONE letter from the IRS. Nothing even telling me why they can’t process it. Its maddening.

[Rachel]

Looks like their site is back up and running

Got my transcripts in the mail. No codes, nothing, but the amount I am due and cycle date of 20180605. Got my “please hold while we bend you over letter” dated for 2/23/2018. So that’s up next week. If I have read correctly the 05 means that I am weekly and update on Saturday mornings? I have no idea. This tax season has been BEYOND ridiculous. They can hold our money until they feel like releasing it. But you damned well better be making your payments today if you owe, (even though their sites down). Wonder what kind of half assed monkey ran system they have going on now. I am sure after this year, if they haven’t already seen it, they’re going to be seeing a lot of filing status’ changed to exempt. And I don’t blame the people that have said as such, hey you don’t want to give us what you owe us, screw you, we’ll just keep it all.

[BabyGirl]

@TiredOfWaiting That is true I heard that after the 60 days they can ask for another 30,45 to 60 days for an ext on the review. However I also heard that if the refund are not released within 45 days of them accepting it or the last day of the filing season which ever comes first they have to pay interest for each day after. That is just what I read online because the IRS has deadlines that they must meet also. Again I don’t know how true it is but if they do it will just be added to your refund.

[TiredOfWaiting]

I’m about to scream just talked to my TA and she said that they returned the request to release my refund without approving or denying it. She resent it on Saturday. Now she wants me to fax her my amendment just in case they ask for it this time. At that point it will take 8 more weeks to process. She also said she wish they wouldn’t give dates for reviews to be up because that doesn’t automatically release the hold that they can come back and ask for additional time. I’m really over this b.s.

[BabyGirl]

I filed my return on 01/31/18 accepted 01/31/18. This year my return was pulled for a random review and I got the letter 4464C dated 03/08/18. I suppose it is because my income had increased. I called the IRS today and she told me the same thing to wait the full 60 days either the WMR will give me a date or I am to call them back and they will be able to tell me something. I have not received any other letters at this time and I am getting impatient! I ordered my transcripts today by mail because they will not let me see them online. Ugh this is madness!! I need to move because my apt has mold and this is only causing me more problems. My sister got a 4464C letter back in March but got her refund the next week!

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel that is crazy and the computers are down here in Texas so you cant check anything on the IRS website today.

[Rachel]

@latrice, weird. I think mine was submitted the week before that. When I called the IRS they said they could see in the system that they got it. So why the heck isn’t it showing up.

[Latrice Jackson]

@ Rachel I faxed to her (TA) on March 22nd and it shows on Where’s my Amended return received on March 22nd.

[MKR]

@Jaci

It does seem like a lot of us early filers with credits who used Turbo Tax have been snagged for review. But with everything I have read on here, it seems you can’t trust any IRS codes, dates or TAs in following a concrete protocol.

[Rachel]

@Latrice, when was the amended return filed? I don’t know why mine still isn’t showing. Ugh..

[Jaci]

My refund amount stayed on the side bar the entire time on WMR. It had never went away.

My husband and I file separately..have for several years. I filed his with TurboTax about 15 minutes after I filed mine. He got his refund on time late February. Alot of ppl are blaming Turbo Tax..but in our experience..it has nothing to do with them. My state refund came timely at the end of February as well. So you would think if here was some big issue with my return, it would have flagged and messed up my state return as well. But obviously not.

I check WMR every day. Can’t view transcripts online as it always says “technical error” …tried to call the IRS yesterday to get transcripts and even the automated system was “full” :(

[Chad]

Filed and accepted on 02-24-18. 21 days came and went. Then received the 4464c letter and was told to wait 60 days. Bars came and went and still saying processing with tax topic 152. I guess I’m in the crowd of waiting to be released. 20181105 on transcripts.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel mines finally says received, but nothing else.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel I feel u about the TA. Been over a month since she requested my refund to be released and nothing. We have a call scheduled for today but nothing yet.

[Rachel]

So much for a TA expediting things..

[Rachel]

@Latrice is still says they haven’t received it. Its been over a month. Does yours say they got it?

[Had_Dem_TwinsNow6]

@ineedtoknow mine also still say this but my amount also showed back up today been missing since 4/4

[msnicki]

@samantha I called today. And they said that an advocate put in a request to get my funds released last week. But they don’t have a date as of yet.

So I called the advocate office and they told me they don’t have a case for me. And that if they did I would still have to wait 60 days from date of the letter.

Called back the irs they told me that the examination I saw on my transcripts were frm the EIC. But I have an ADDITIONAL 60 day review for “random”

So now I am even more confused then when I started.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel can you see if your amended return has been received or processed on Where’s My amended return?

[Samantha]

@nicki2u Have you called them to see what is going on since you got your transcripts?

[NetraF]

@ Jaci Our transcripts have the exact same information. We filed and were accepted the same day. Also have the same letter date, cycle code, etc. I have not received any additional letters or updates. WMR states: We have received your return and it is being processed.

4464C Letter: 03-05-2018 allow 60 days. Waiting unitl after May 7th to call again. And I don’t qualify for an advocate.

[Jaci]

Filed and accepted 1/29. Bars disappeared before 2/15 some time. Called end of Feb and was told to allow 45 additional days. Then 3/5 a letter came stating my return required additional review and to allow 60 days from 3/5.
Called a TA and I have no hardship so they can’t/won’t help.

Got my transcripts in mid March and it says:
Processing date 3/5
Cycle: 2180704
Codes are: 806-w-2 withholding dated 4/15
768- EIC dated 4/15
570- addl account action pending dated 3/5

Return due date- 4/15
Processing date-3/5

No updates at all..still generic message that it’s being processed

Pissed off….Need to add this money to the kitty as I’m trying to buy a house:(

[Rachel]

@Grrrrrrr why did you have to amend?

[Rachel]

Happy to see that some of you having problems are finally getting your refunds. It will be a miracle if I ever get mine!

[Michael]

If you have no updates on WMR or transcripts and it passes the receive date on your transcripts ( mine says 4-15-2018), will your transcripts update to reflect a new potential received date? I’m one of the 2-9-2018 filed /accepted w/ TurboTax. Processing date 3-19-2018, and 4464c letters dated 3-15-2018.

This is all so beyond ridiculous. I fail to understand why the IRS rep can’t just tell you if anything needs to be verified? Since I was told I need to wait a full 45 days from the dated 4464c letter, I’m hoping to have my return by the first week of May. It’s not that much longer, but I don’t want it to get to that point only to be told I need to send in something, or that they need more time.

[NoaTay3]

I just requested a TA because this is past ridiculous. Maybe they will be able to expedite my situation…

[Brit]

Still have not received taxes
Filed 1/29.. Accepted next day
I have called IRS multiple time no help :(
on my transcript, it reads:
Refund amount: $-7,459
Applied to next years tax: $0.00
Estimated Tax penalty: $0.00
Bal Due/Over pymt using tp fig per computer: $-7,459
Bal due/Over pymt using computer figures: $-7,459
FORM 8888 Total refund per computer: $0.00

the cycle posted is 20180805
received date: 4/15

What does this mean? Will I not get taxes? WMR says still processing topic 152 date will be provided when available.

[Balth]

Filed 1/23 accepted 1/24.
Bars disappeared with tax topic 152 shortly there after.
Received letter had to fax forms 8962 & 1095A. Faxed on Febuary 22nd.
4464C Letter Dated March 8th.
End of March recieved letter CP12 explaining a adjustment and getting more money back.

I’ve gotten 3 different letters from the IRS yet my status hasn’t changed. It will be 3 months since I filed in a few days. They’ve obviously been working my return or I wouldn’t be getting all of these letters. The last two letters both stated I don’t have to do anything but wait. I’m sick of waiting at this point. This is beyond ridiculous and has entered absurdity territory. Give us OUR money back! I feel like they are just digging and digging trying to find any loophole to keep our returns this year.

[Grrrrrrrr]

Filed and accepted 1/29
Got a tax adv. and. Did ammendment 3/16. Woke up this morning to DD 4/19. Can’t believe it i had to check it 8 times!

[msnicki]

I got my transcripts via mail yesterday. I have:
420- exam of tax return – 2/16
971- notice issued – 2/19
421-closed examination of tax return- 3/1

How can they close the examination in March and it’s now April and still NOTHING not ONE UPDATE! At all!! I filed 1/31 and still processing!!!!!!!!

[WaitingInWI]

Filed 02/09 accepted 02/10
Bars disappeared middle of feb. Got tax advocate like half way through march.
Told me if she did it on way I’d have what was needed for hardship right away and the rest of the refund in the 30 days, or if she requested for the whole thing I’d have it in 2 weeks. Scheduled a follow up for like ten days later and I missed it because it was her manager and she called late. I accidentally deleted the voicemail while trying to get the number to call back. Couldn’t get ahold of manager called the tas state office and someone else said they scheduled another call for another week later so around 17 days she calls back with no knew info. Tells me she’ll call back by friday which is over 22 days since she submitted my info. Called back this friday with no update and I went off as she told me prior I should of already had a refund date by now, tells me there’s nothing she can really do but watch well I finally updated today this Sunday to a DDD of 04/19!
Kicker is I filed everything 100% correct through turbo tax. I was being held because the IRS didn’t have one of my w2s entered in on their side. Only took 3months! I’ll be exempt all year and probably every year after now so I don’t rely on them ever again. Such bs.
Good luck everyone!

[Sarah]

My TA called 4/12 said the irs released the hold how long do I have to wait to see a change?

[Nesza0215]

Finally after 60 plus days woke up to a ddd for the 18th!!! Have hope if you haven’t got it it’s coming

[Still under review]

@michael why hasn’t this stuff been on the news this is horrible there’s so many people being reviewed this year we all deserve a straight answer and the irs needs to have a better communication system instead of telling everyone the same thing

[Michael]

@stillunderreview. Welcome to the waiters club. I’m in the same boat as you except I filed/accepted 2/9. My 4464c is dated 3/15. Letter says “…within 60 days”, but the last IRS rep I spoke to last week said that I have to wait the full 45 days from the letter.

[Still under review]

Filed 2/2
Accepted 2/4
Got 4464c letter
Called irs 3 times they keep saying wait 60 days until May 4. I live in Ky I used TurboTax same place I have filed with for 6 years this never happened. My bars vanished and has been gone with the your return is still being processed message on it for over a month now. I just want answers. I’ve been checking this forum for weeks now and never posted until today.

[Sweet pea]

Finally a update for the 18th

[msnicki]

I was really hoping For an update this being the last Saturday before tax day and still nothing! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Tone]

Guys it’s a miracle.

Submitted 1/23 thru TT and accepted the next day.

Got delayed until at least 2/16 for EITC. Got 4464c letter on 3/5 (processing date 2/26) told to wait 60 days…

Never called a TA because I read some mixed reviews on their so called help.

Finally updated on Friday the fricken 13th of April with a DDD of 4/18/18 and the amount is showing the same, no change. (I assumed I made an error and would have to amend but that doesn’t look to be the case.)

Thank you all for everything. We are a true paycheck to paycheck family and knowing we were not alone doing through this kept me san

[Rachel]

@Latrice, no I am in Washington State. When I talked to her she basically told me the IRS is busy and she has no news for me and our next contact would be in May. Shrug…

[Latrice Jackson]

Ok why 5/2, my call back day is 23rd of this month something happen soon are you in Texas.

[Rachel]

@latrice no I have not. Last time I spoke with her, she told me that she would call me on 5/2. Meh

[Latrice Jackson]

I’m in Texas also I hope something moves soon, the last official tax day is the 17th.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel have you heard from your TA recently?

I haven’t had bars for a little over 2.5 weeks my refund mount dissappeared for that given time as well. Just checked it this morning still says its being process but my refund amount is back… I’m hoping this is a good thing.

[Naomionekanobe]

@michael. I mistyped Letter dated 2/12

[Denise]

@latrice

I’m from Texas! No updates since my last post yet for us!

[TiredOfWaiting]

@ Lattice I’m from Texas and like you and Rachel I filed with my last check stub my TA did not ask me to amend my return she sent in the request for my refund to be released on 3/12 here it is exactly a month later and still no update. I’m hoping for an update Saturday, my 45 day review is up on 4/26. I haven’t gotten any letters from the IRS.

[Rachel]

@bernadette actually those that qualify for EIC and CTC are getting back significantly more than they paid in, which is why the heavy scrutiny I think. They want to make sure no one is filing fraudulent returns. Most of us here are honest but there are a few eggs in the past that have spoiled it for the rest of us and that is one of the reasons this year is such a mess.

[NoaTay3]

Sorry, Latrice. I’m from FL. I’m stuck like the rest of you guys.

Filed/accepted 1/25
No bars since 2/23
4464c letter dated 3/5

Every time I call I’m told I need to do nothing and to wait until my 60 days are up on May 5th. They claim I should either receive my refund before then or another letter from the IRS with further instructions. Ridiculous, but there’s nothing we can really do besides get a TA.

[Bernadette]

Sounds like I am in the same boat as everyone else. I want someone to tell me WHY they are holding it. Accepted Jan 22, bar gone in Feb., letter states 60 days is up April 23rd. Still no further instructions. Boyfriend got his back within a week, with twice the refund coming back to him. Today he got a letter in the mail stating he owed money from 2016. I’m thinking they need to take care of everyone in 2017 before they address the old stuff. Some of us were really depending on our refunds. This is money we over paid all year anyways. Give us our refunds!

[Latrice Jackson]

Who on this forum is from Texas?

[Michael]

@Naomionekanobe If your 4464c later was dated 3/12 that would put your 45-60 day wait at end of April – med May.

[Rachel]

@BreYana I did get a TA. Doesn’t seem to be expediting anything.

[BreYana]

Tell them your electric is due to be cut off, TA didn’t ask for proof.

[Nesza0215]

Breyana did you have a hardship??
I’m told because I don’t have a hardship I can’t have a TA

[BreYana]

Everyone who’s filed in January and haven’t heard anything please get a TA. I filed 1/29, never had bars or anything! I called a few times told the same crap call back in 60 days then again in 45. I finally got fed up and called on March 27th got assigned one, she called me the 29th and said she’s putting in a request to have it released. Who process took maybe 10 days, I updated to a DDD on 4/8 for 4/12 got my deposit last night.

[Tonlove115]

69 days since the day I filed, 57 days since processing message and bars disappeared and still nothing. No info. No ddd. No letter. Irs says nothing to worry about!?!?! This nightmare is never ending!!!

[Rachel]

I would just like a sign that something is moving! Since january all I have seen on WMR is “your return is still being processed”. OMG this is like a bad dream!

[Rachel]

My TA submitted my amended return almost a month ago and when I check the “wheres my amended return”, it still says they have not gotten it. But when I have called the IRS they show that they have received it. WTF

[Naomionekanobe]

[Dan]

Michael
My date is April 26. Which also what the IRS rep told me on the phone. He said if you don’t have your refund by then then call back. That’s still not helpful.
First they say “you’ll have it in 21 days or less”
Then they say “if you have EITC, it will be mid to late February”
Then they say “you should be getting a letter with further instructions”
Which said “you should get your refund by April 26”

I feel like at this point, it’s better if I expect to get nothing by that date.

[Michael]

@Dan: What is the date on your 4464c letter? It seems like the same old response is to wait up to 60 days from the date of that letter for your refund unless you get another letter w/ further instructions.

[Rachel]

@Latrice I did speak with a guy at the IRS earlier this week and he said things should start moving for people as things slow down at the IRS in the next week or so. So maybe (hopefully) your TA is right.

[Rachel]

@Latrice I am in Washington State. I’m just feeling like this is never going to end!

[Dan]

Filed 1/29. Lost my bars a couple weeks later. It has been processing ever since. I got letters from the IRS saying that I did not need to do anything. I called IRS and they told me over the phone that there was nothing I needed to do. I got my transcripts and the codes are 570 and 971. No updates on codes since March 12. I am coming up on three months since I filed and I don’t know anything. I getting really freaking frustrated. I think the stupid IRS should TELL me WHY I am being reviewed, especially if they don’t need anything from me.

[Michael]

@Jeannie: When I initially tried to order them online on my Ipad I had trouble, so I used my laptop and no issues. Even after setting up my online account, I still can’t access via my ipad, so not sure what the issue w/ that might be.

Still waiting here… I’ve had no updates yet. F/A 2/9/2018. 4464c dated 3-15-2018 w/ 570 code. Last time I spoke to an IRS rep, they asked all the security questions which I passed, but they still said I needed to wait the full 45 days from the date on the 4464c letter.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel I spoke with my TA yesterday and she saId, by this weekend we should see some movement since it’s been 3 weeks today for the amendment, so she told me soon as she see something she will let me know, what state are you in? I’m in Texas.

[MiLeBr]

Filed 1/19 and return was accepted 1/22. Had the one bar I didn’t check on it for a while because I knew with the EIC and CTC that those refunds weren’t being released until mid February. Around 2/19 I started checking and lost my bars and see my refund amount on the left but the good ole “we’ve received and we’re processing it, check back later” message. The end of Feb I received the 60 review letter dated 2/23. Nothing has ever changed in how I file until this year. We changed my sons last name to mine so besides filing early that’s the only thing I can think that might have flagged my return. But his name was changed on his birth certificate and the SS Administration. So I’m guessing I can’t even call the IRS for an update until April 23rd that’s when my 60 days from the date of this letter nonsense is up. I’ll keep you posted if I get any new information. I was able to order my transcripts so hopefully that’s a good sign, but I’ve seen people state they’ve ordered their’s and they were blank or had no information on it. I have no idea what happened this year but damn, they need to get their poop in a group.

@tiredofwaiting

I’ve seen. That’s why I decided to join in this message forum. I’m just here waiting it out. I know we filed correctly. When I called irs I had a very nice lady tell me about the cp05 notice I would received dated for March 26. Of course the letter states no action needed and that they should be done with review by may 10th. I will def keep y’all posted if anything happens before!! Thanks for responding. Wasn’t sure if anyone was seeing my originally post, but seems no one has a DDD!!! No matter what notice.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@TinaM @Denise
No one knows we all filed in January or February, some of us got letters, some of us didn’t but know of us have a DDD or any clue as to when we will get one. Every time u call the IRS you get a different answer. Then if you get a TA, the IRS won’t help you. The TA is supposed to speed things up but sometimes they don’t. I have not received any letters just told i was in review till 4/26. I got a TA last month, she requested my funds to be released but they still have not. Thursday will be 30 days since she sent the request. It’s been a terrible, no info, long wait, tax season.

[Denise]

@TinaM we are in the exact same position. Only difference files feb9th accepted feb 10th. Got cp05 letter dated March 26 & date for may 10. I’ve asked as well on here. So far no deposit date.

Smh at the irs ugggh they can’t give no info you need to talk to your advocate hell tell her to answer the damn phone

[Rachel]

@Latrice according to someone I spoke with a while back, my return had been processed – but the funds weren’t being released because the discrepancy. I called that number too just a bit ago and the guy I talked to at first tells me that he can’t give me any info until its been 16 week since I filed the amended return. I was like “UGH!” Then I explained to him that this wasn’t a “regular” amended return and that it was supposed to be expedited thru my TA. He agreed to look at my account finally but all he could tell me was that they received the amended return and I need to to wait for my TA to give me info about it. He said things should start moving quicker for people in a week or so when things slow down for the IRS. I’ll believe it when I see it!

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel I called that number and i spoke to a lady, she told me I’m not sure how true it is, they can’t process your amended return until they process the regular return, so I’m due a call back on 4/23 so i spoke with her again today and she said i will have it before then. I hope so.

[Rachel]

@jenny thanks. I will call that number. Everyone I have talked to so far has been an a–hole.

[Jenny]

@rachel
I was always unable to see anything on where’s my amended return. My amount (the amended) shows on the where’s my refund irs webs site. I was luckily last week and got a super nice lady at the irs who told me she could see my adjusted amount. I would call and see if they can tell you if it has been done. The number I called is 866.682.7451 ext 568. My TA has told me when my amended had cleared the verification dept and was sent to processing (03.27). At that time she told me to keep checking with the irs to see if it had been completed and if it had a released date. I called every day last week. I don’t know if it helped speed it up (more than likely no) but it made me feel better. Each one was nice and told me where it was in the process. I hope this helps.

[NCMom2]

So I mailed my return on 3/1. On 3/20 WMR showed one bar and return received. On 4/2 the bar disappeared and i received the message return was being processed. On 4/6 the WMR showed
“We cannot provide any information about your refund. Be sure to:
verify your filing date;
check with your tax preparer”

Anyone else run into this? Haven’t received any kind of letter to verify anything. It’s like they had it and then lost it!!

[Rachel]

@jenny just curious if you go on the IRS website and check the “wheres my amended return” does it tell you that they received it? Or what does it say exactly. I checked it this morning and said they have not received my amended return.

[Jenny]

@waitinginwi

I updated on Sunday. I checked on sat and nothing. I’m a weekly updated so sit sure why on Sunday it updated but I’ll takenit. It’s been one hella road this year.

[john]

@shannon my return was accepted 2/1, lost my bars and got the still being processed on 2/17 and it still hasnt changed…get ready for some frustration

[Shanon]

Mine changed to Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available anyones bars disappear? did they come back? .

[RunMyMoney]

Filed and accepted 1/29 received letter 2/07 on 60 day review,,,, called Friday was told that they will send a request to department to release hold after 60 day and that Dept has 60 days to respond???? Wth!!!! And if i hear nothing in 60 more days to call back that made absolutely no sense to me ,,,, these people driving me crazy

[BreYana]

Yeah I checked Saturday, I didn’t update. I updated Sunday for a DDD of April 12th.

[WaitingInWI]

@jenny did you update to a DDD then?

@BreYana so you updated Sunday morning to a DDD for the 12th correct? Did you check Saturday?

[LuvNM]

I’ve been lurking for a while, thought I’d join in.

I filed early using TurboTax, accepted 1/29, Had one bar for a week or so, then PATH act message, then 2/17 it changed to “being processed”. No change to wmr since 2/17. Got letter 4464c dated 2/23.
Checking wmr daily, but I’m not going to call unless I don’t hear anything by the 60-day mark. I just can’t believe it’s the end of tax season and I don’t have my refund yet!

[artic_turtle]

Im still here. I filed and was accepted 01/31 with H and R Block and received a 60 day review letter around 02/17 dated 02/07. Transcripts remained blank and on 03/01 H and R Block updated/changed my filing date to 03/01. Transcripts updated and filled in and have a processing date and 570 hold for 03/12, and as of today transcripts still the same with same hold date and have no code or record of my original letter being sent or any new letters coming. Im so confused by all this, yet refuse to call as it seems to do nothing if you don’t have a hardship. This is so ridiculous!

[Leslie]

I filed on Jan 19th. I’ve never received letters, but they said they’ve sent them. Every time I call I’m told something different. Recently I was told it should be settled by April 12th. Then I call again and am told no that’s not true. They tell me I don’t need to provide them anything and that I’m simply being reviewed. Where’s my refund shows nothing except that it’s still being processed… I’m at a loss and I’m getting annoyed.

[BreYana]

Yessss! I woke up with a DDD of April 12th, I filed January 29th, never had bars. Received the dreadful 4464c letter February 6th. Finally called an got an advocate on March 26th. She called me on March 29th to put in a request to have it released said it would take about 10 days in which it did. Mine was being held over a w2 for 40 measly dollars that wasn’t even taxed! If anyone in January or February hasn’t received anything please call and get an advocate they will at the least tell you what the hold up is! The IRS won’t even do that!

[Jenny]

Did anyone else wake up with a DD??? Finally

[Canes18]

@waiting and others

It’s 4% per quarter. 4% per day is impossible. Yes, it’s 45 from the day you filed or 4/15, whichever is later from what I’ve read. If you look at your transcripts you’ll have a “refund due” date. 4% per quarter is more than I get from my bank accounts and I’ve waited so long anyway, I’ll be happy to at least get interest out of this.

[WaitingInWI]

@Jenny and @Latrice everything I’ve seen says @newtocali is right. 45 days from the date you filed or April 17th whichever is later. Basically if you filed before April 17th they have 45 from the 17th. Irs reps arent necessarily an accurate source of information as many comments on this form suggest. And are you certain it’s 4% per day and not more like 4% per year like a bank? 200 a day seems a bit extravagant not to burst your bubble.
https://finance.zacks.com/irs-pay-interest-3121.html

[Jenny]

@latrice I was told by 3 IRS workers and researched online if you have not received your refund which has been accepted by the IRS and has been over 21 days they have to pay you interest even if you are under review. It is 4% per day for every day starting on April 17 however you have to pay taxes on that next year. Ours is around 200 a day in interest.

[newtocali]

@Latrice I was told by my TA that they don’t have to pay interest until 45 days after the deadline so 45 days after April 17th

[Latrice Jackson]

So is it true that if they doubt pay your refund by April 17, they owe interest and how is it calculated? And why do you have to pay it back.

[Fed up]

@Sweet pea yes I did get a TA on 3/15 didn’t have to show hardship. Didn’t have one just wanted my money. I did get a letter dated 2/7.

[MKR]

@Michael

I have not ordered transcripts. I have about 1.5 weeks until the “review” is up, so I am just waiting.

[Michael]

@MKR I’m curious, have you seen any updates on your transcripts? I filed/accepted 2/9. My processing date was 3/19 w/ the 570 code, and my 4464c is dated 3/15/18.

[MKR]

@Michael

That’s the way I see it, too. I F/A with Turbo Tax on 1/30. Got 4464c letter dated 3/9. Rep said that my review was up on 4/19 (41 days?). I figure I have waited this long …. After reading so many stories of dealings with advocates, I am not sure that would speed up the process or not.

[Michael]

Based on the up to 60 day from the 4464c letter, I’m just going to assume that I will have my return by the middle of May. While I do not believe I would qualify for a TA hardship, I would just rather avoid that whole process all together b/c It does not seem like it’s getting anyone’s return any faster.

[Rachel]

@jenny well it gives me a little hope to hear yours is moving along. I am just hoping for the best but still expecting the worst.

[Jenny]

@rachel i was told mine had to go to the verification department. It was cleared there and everything matched. On wed the 27 it left there and went to the processing department. She told me I could cont to call the irs to see if it had updated and you know me every morning I’m calling them lol a very sweet lady in Tuesday (04.03) told me they had just adjusted it meaning the amendment had been processed but it should take maybe a week to drop for deposit. This morning when I called I was told it was processed and approved but that damn 570 (69 day review) is still on there so I called my TA to see what she could do to get that removed since everything else checked out perfectly fine. She has not called me back. My follow up call she set on 03.28 was 04.19. Hopefully she can get that hold lifted today.

[Rachel]

@jenny wow they got that processed fast. When I spoke with my TA last week, she told me she was told my the IRS that whatever “unit” the amended returns go to, is seriously backed up and she would contact me again 5/2 and see where things are at. UGH

[Jenny]

@rachel
Yes I filed amended because I did the same as you. She submitted it to the IRS on the 12 of March.

@shelly I call 866.682.7451 ext 568. There hasn’t been a long wait time this week.

[Rachel]

@jenny I can’t remember if you said why you amended. I filed an amendment because I filed off a paystub. I still haven’t heard an update from my TA. She submitted on the 16th I believe.

[Shelly Major]

is there any number I can call for no update besides still processing?

[Naomionekanobe]

After almost 2 months on no changes, my “as of” date changed. Was 03/05/2018, now it’s 04/23/2018. Hopefully a full update tomorrow.

[Jenny]

@grrr I spoke with irs today my amendment has been processed (the TA sent it over last Thursday the 28) she said the adjustment was made,l and approved the only hold up now is there is still a hold (the 60 day review). I called my TA today to see if that can be removed or how long it will be on there. The lady at the IRS did confirm as of 04.17 if we don’t have our money they have to pay 4% interest every day—for me that’s around 200 a day, the bad we have to pay taxes on that next year. They screw us both ways. I hope it doesn’t take much longer. I am a weekly updated so hopefully tomorrow. I am still not able to order my transcripts either.

[Grrrrrrrr]

@Jenny

Spoke with my TA today since car was repo’d last night. Was told that my amendment finished processing in one department and could take 2-3 weeks for next department. How many departments are there? Good question she couldn’t answer. Next contact supposed to be 4/20. Said if anything happens sooner she’ll call. Tired of this process and feel completely helpless.

[Sweet pea]

@fed up
Did u have a advocate and did you get a letter

[Fed up]

Checked transcript this morning got a ddd 4/11. The wait is over good luck everybody that’s still waiting. Filed 1/16 60 day review was up today. Wages we’re off didn’t have to amend.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@tlayne
Mine is the same as your son’s and has been that way since 2/24. I have not gotten any letters. The IRS says they need nothing from me it’s a random review. Was initially told it started 2/15 and would be over in 45 days. Called back last month and was told that it started 3/12 and would last 45 days not to call back till after 4/26 if I don’t get a letter or my refund by then. I got an advocate on 3/12 she sent the request to release the hold on 3/12 still no updates.

[T’Layne]

My son’s was F/A 3/17. At some point since last Saturday (March 31) he lost his bars and went to the “Still being processed” TAX TOPIC 152 with the amount on the left. Anybody? Now, I know I have noticed with other people that I have helped file theirs, In the relevant cases, when they had to ID Verify it said Still Being Processed and once completed updated to Being Processed because it was once again “on the move” but they none had TT152. Anybody have any insight?

[Michael]

@ashley we have almost the exact same dates except that we filed/ accepted 2/9/2018. No updates yet. This is just insane. They’ve had our return almost 60 days already, and we can’t even get an update for what, if anything, needs to be reviewed.

I posted that video on the 4464c thread in here, too.

[Denise]

Our notice is is CP05

[Jeannie]

I filed with turbo tax the 29 of Jan was excepted ex.
My bars dissappeasred , I received a letter but was told to do nothing .. I called twice was told to do nothing .. I’m still waiting like everyone else … I can only get my transcripts by mail it won’t let me online .. so I have no clue ..

[Scott]

Also, I’ll be changing how much I claim on my tax forms after this tax season, I’d rather owe these idiots a little bit of money at the end of the year rather than let them hold onto my return while still collecting interest from it this entire time.

[Scott]

My wife and I filed on the 1st of Feb and our return was accepted the same day. Feb 10th we received a letter stating we were under review. My wife called in March looking for an update and was told to call back on the 10th of April when we received our letter. She decided to call back on the 2nd seeing as how it had been 60 days since our return was accepted and was told to call back on the 29th of April for more information. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on?

[Laurie]

FYI – i filed on 1/29 & bars went away around 2/10 – no movement, received 4464c letter back on 3/5/18 said to wait it out. still waiting – no movement, no more letters, and have no time to call as i work from 10:30 – 8:00 pm. this is by far the most ridiculous tax season! nothing like this has ever happened before!

Hang in there everyone!

Laurie

[Denise]

Hi everyone, we filed on 2/09/18 was accepted 2/10/18. On wmr site bars showed in the first stage for about 2 weeks than disappeared. I called irs early March and was told a letter would be sent out dated for March 26 staying we were chosen for further review there was no action needed on our part. We recieved the letter on the 29th. Letter stated it may take up to may 20th till we hear from them again or get our refund! Im upset this has never happened before. Im so disappointed we don’t have any eviction letters or car repossession to speed up this process. My question is does anyone else have a similar timeline with this type of situation and received a DDD before the date on letter? We are expecting a nb any day now and would love to have our refund already.

[Ashley]

Hi everyone ive been following daily on here just never posted, I filled 2/10 accepted same day 2/20 bars gone. Got 4464c letter dated March 15 was told processing wont start till 3/19 wait 45-60 days I’ve been inpatient as the rest of you and I’m just so over the IRS holding our money when we depend on it! Today I came across a video posted by a tax office speaking about the letter 4464c it gave me a little peace of mind hope it helps you to! Best of luck to all of us!
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10212019445346284&id=1378098422

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel have you heard anything yet?

[Tonlove115]

I filed 2/3. Accepted 2/3 and still nothing. I’ve called and have been told I’m not under review or and holds placed. I have not received anything in the mail. This is by far the most screwed agency. All people want is straight answers but instead we are all being given the run around. This is frustrating.

[NoaTay3]

I called the IRS this morning and basically was told the same thing. Need to wait 60 days from the date of my letter (3/5). She said that I should either get my refund or further instructions from the IRS within that time frame. If still nothing by May 5 then I should call back. This is a test of patience…

[Vee]

@ Laura I’m in the same boat.

[Michael]

I also posted this in the 4464c section. The video gives an overview from a tax preparer as well as a new segment at the end.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t6N5x1a1-dQ

[Tata]

Ok so I’ve been following for a month now & decided to finally post…
Filed & Accepted 2/12
3/2 Bars disappeared
ID verified 3/6
THEN on 3/26 I received the dreaded 60 day review notice; letter dated 3/22. I called today and of course they basically said to wait it out. Just like everyone else. Guys this really stinks!!! :\

[Laura]

Ready for this tax season to be over!! Filed/accepted 1/29 received the 4464c dated 2/27 transcripts show processing date of 3/5. Called today and told to call back after April 30th because it’s a 60 day review

[Jenny]

@grrrrrrr I was told by the TA they would not process mine however after submitting my amendment I called the irs bc I could not get my transcripts I was told at that time mine had been processed and if I would have waited my review I would have had lily money at the end of the review. However I am still unable to order my transcripts so make me wonder if I was ever even processed. So here I wait for my amended to be processed. ;-( I agree this is one of the worst run government agencies.

[Grrrrrrrr]

Everybody is getting different answers! I was told to amend that if I didn’t I’d be waiting probably 16 weeks and still have to amend. Why can this group of people not get their answers straight?! It’s scary this is the worst run company I’ve ever seen and it’s our government!

[Chad Wilson]

I’m never getting my $$$$$.
Filled and accepted same day. 21 days come and gone. Got the 4464c letter on March 24th. Was told to wait 60 days. Transcript says processing on 4-2!!!!!!!!

[Jenny]

Rachel did you amend yours? I don’t understand all of these different answers! I submitted my amended to my TA on the 12 which was submitted to the IRS it was accepted and passed the verification. Last week it was supposed to have been moved to processing and to allow 2-3 weeks for my refund. I called the irs to see if I had moved throughprocessing yet, said she saw nothing holding up and should have my return very soon then the lady was very nice. I went on and tried to view my transcripts and ended up calling back in bc I can not see my transcript I keep getting “a technical error has occurred” she said I wasn’t even in the processing, my amended hadn’t even been touched and I needed to wait until May 13th if I didn’t have it then to call back. Ummm What the heck! So what is the point of having a TA? I did qualify for a hardship. I thought that pushed it through quicker. Anyone else having the same issue?

[Xxtina]

A TA told me not to amend and wait til my review is up which is April 12th. My wages was off by 2500. Im hoping getting that DD soon. Its been a long wait.

[Nesza0215]

Well as of 4/8 my 60 day hold will be up and if they haven’t released it by that date I can have a referral sent that is SUPPOSED to have it realized but at this point I don’t even know if I believe is been waiting since 1/25 with no update happy for the people who have got a update but this year is just shitty and from what the irs has told me they will be picking millions at random every year to make them wait so I’m just going to expect the worst next year just like this year 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Grrrrrrrr]

BTW received 4464c letter 3/12 dated 3/9. If somebody would just give a date id be a tad better. I’d at least have a date to count on that this nightmare will end. The whole not knowing is enough to make me scream….which I have numerous times.

[Grrrrrrrr]

I’ve been here just not posted. Filed and accepted 1/27. Still being processe since 2/17. I was off on my wages but with holding was correct. Ammended return per advocate 3/17. Said I qualified for hardship yet would still take 4-6 weeks. I’m now hiding vehicle from repo man and 8 days behind in rent. I called left message for TA Thursday just to get some kind of update. No return call. Guess I’ll call her again tomorrow. This is completely RIDICULOUS

[Canes18]

I don’t have a TA and haven’t filed an amendment, same situation. I’ll gladly let you ladies know my outcome and if/when I see movement. Hoping they process things soon for everyone.

[Rachel]

@Jenny bahhaaaa of course they say that! what a nightmare

[Jenny]

@rachel I was told mine had processed and would have been released if I hadn’t done the amendment (that the TA told me I had to do) once my review was up.

[Rachel]

@jenny before my TA called me back this afternoon I actually called the IRS to see if they could tell me anything. I explained to the lady why I was in review and that it was because I filed using my paystub. She asked me why I did that and I told her because I was impatient and couldn’t wait for my W2. She actually said “well look how long you’re waiting now..” Like REALLY? I said “yes, lesson learned”. Ugh SHUT UP lady! I have filed using paystubs before and never had an issue so I did not think twice about it.

[Jenny]

@rachel thy is better than what I was told. July like really??!! Bs. They need to be hiring ppl or something.

[Rachel]

@Latrice she finally called me back. Apparently whatever unit at the IRS they send the amended returns to is so backed up and overwhelmed that she said what normally would take them a month is taking twice that long. Our next contact date is May 2nd. Soooo yeah. I’ll be lucky if I see anything by summer time at this point.

[Rachel]

@Latrice Jackson, I feel the same way. I will be happy if I ever get it but Its out of my control at this point. As far as them not giving you info if you have a TA, she didn’t give me a ton of info but she did tell me that somthing was submitted on the the 16th. Would be nice if I could get the TA to actually call me back. Sigh..

[WaitingInWI]

@Latrice when did you file?

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel just spoke to my TA, she said no release date yet, but she said she would call me as soon as she see something, so maybe this weekend. I’m tired now whenever it come it comes I’m so frustrated but nothing i can do someone said call the irs but I heard if you have a TA they want even speak with you.

[john]

@ Jeannine ive been waiting since feb 1st, i feel your pain

[Jeannine]

I’m STILL waiting I filed feb 29 .. bars disappeared I did receive a letter I’ve called twice nothing nothing nothing …

[Rebecca]

No change filed 3/26/18

[Rachel]

@sweet pea I left another message with TA today but decided to call the IRS and see if they could tell me anything. Of course they didn’t have any info of any changes but the lady I spoke to did say something was submitted by the TA on 3/16. Assuming its my amended return. So at least she did do something. Praying they can get it resolved soon.

[Rachel]

@sweetpea Nope. Called my TA 3 times now and left messages and no return. 1/222 I filed. Still NO letter or anything from the IRS. Feeling like this is a lost cause.

[Michael]

I find it interesting that I filed after you (2/9/18) but your processing date is after mine. I was given 3-19-18.
Still waiting.

Did you get a 4464c letter?

[john]

i filed/was accepted on feb 1st.

my transcript says…

as of apr. 16 2018

Processing date apr. 09, 2018

Cycle 20181205. 4-09-2018

i have 150 806 and 570…

does this mean my refund is actually going to be processed on the 9th? they havent requested any information from me.

any help or similar experience would be appreciated

[Keri]

I got my transcript in the mail and this is what it says…

Return due date or return date received date April 15th,
Processing date March 5th.

Cycle code 0705

All the codes I have is 150, 806, 766, 768 and 570 (3/5/18)

Any thoughts?

[Sweet pea]

@RACHEL
DID ANYTHING CHANGE FOR YOU

[TheDude]

@nikki

That number for reviewed returns is a little high. The IRS projects only 250M returns to be filed this season. I would say your TA was fibbing a little.

[eri]

Go anyone no of a number I can reach a live rep

[nikki]

be swip and i should have a ddd by march 23th didnt get on i called her friday 30th she said u have date for april but no date in april log on this morning had a ddd april 4th .

[nikki]

[Crystalene]

Please help anyone. I faxed 1095a/8962 on 3/14. 3/26 wmr changed slightly, my refund amount disappeared and now says December 2017 tax year on the side and it gave me TT152 back. Still no bars though. Also I always try to make an account to see transcripts online (even though I can’t b/c I don’t have a credit card) just to see if it has my 2017 information. Usually I have to select married filing separate, which was filing status of 2016. Yesterday I was able to start to login with married filing joint which is my new filing status. IF my information in the IRS system finally updated to this years info does that mean I will get a refund date next weekend?
I wish I could see my transcripts. ugh

[WaitingInWI]

Lucky. Congrats. No updates myself and my ta is supposed to call Tuesday if I hadn’t gotten a refund date yet which I didn’t. Pretty pissed like wtf its the point of filing for hardship? I thought it would speed things up but apparently I thought wrong.. Again. I’m pretty much completely screwed at this point. I filed 2/09 lost my job 03/05 lost propane 03/07 thought I’d see an update today but apparently I’ll be waiting for yet another week

[Footballfam123]

@WaitinginWI

Both! I F/A 1/29! I almost can’t believe my eyes!

[WaitingInWI]

@Footballfam123
Did your wmr update or just transcripts?

[Footballfam123]

After filing 1/29 I woke up to a direct deposit 846 code on my transcripts.I am in shock. I do have a collection code TT 201 as well but my transcripts show a -$XXXXXXX and a DDD. Should I be concerned about the TT 201 code or am I good since I have the 846 and a DDD?

[Inaprocessingblackhole]

Finally!!! DD by April 4th.

[Kelcf]

The as of date is on your account transcripts at the top before it starts your transaction codes.

[Inaprocessingblackhole]

Where do you see the as of date? Just curious from those of you that posted your date changed

[john]

Really fed up, you said just before i commented that your as of date changed. i was wondering what it had changed to.

[Really fed up]

As of date stayed the same

[john]

@fed up, what did your as of date change to?

[Lili]

Transcripts yes. WMR depends. Mine hasn’t updated yet, im a weekly on saturdays so I’m assuming by morning it will show my DDD Like my transcripts now do.

[MikeR]

So apparently updates can occur most any day? So much misinformation. Makes it very hard to gauge when you actually might get lucky and receive your $.

[Lili]

Filed 2/12
Accepted 2/13
Got the letter requesting the forms 8962 and 1095A 3/9
Faxed them 2/12
Finally able to see my transcripts 3/24
Updated with hold release and DDD of 4/4 today!

Hope this helps all those still waiting.

[Kelcf]

And your welcome girl!! Trying to help everyone as best I can cause not knowing Is the WORST lol

[Kelcf]

Yea I think a lot of people are going to update this weekend and next because tax season is almost over. The biggest indication I had that I was gonna get my money soon was the as of date changing. If your as of date is still a date that has come and gone then most likely you’re still being reviewed. This is jus speculation tho.

[Prettyladyte]

@Kelcf ok thanks maybe we will all update with some ddd’s sooner than later

[Tash]

I filed on 1/19 and accepted on 1/22.. Still have not received ddd. Still says , we have received your return and it is being processed. I cant get a ta because they said i need a eviction or disconnect notice. Im barely getting by but nothing is being turned off YET. My transcript has no codes on it and it have a code of 20180605.. What in the hell is going on?! Help!

[Kelcf]

Yes I called the 800 number for TA on the 7th but never even got a pin or anything because they said I didn’t qualify because I didn’t have a hardship. I like cussed the lady out and she hung up on me haha. And never called back. I must have slipped through the cracks because two weeks later I got that letter. I was shocked.

@rachel sorry love. Maybe your situation we different. But yea I don’t think anyone at irs or ta office knows what they’re talking about to be honest. I left out 3000 dollar w2 and 75 dollar 1099 and they still processed my return. Wasn’t a math error or anything I jus completely forgot to file them haha.

[Prettyladyte]

@Rachel sorry I read over your previous posts and saw that u did amend and you’re still waiting.

[Prettyladyte]

@Rachel so u amended and are still waiting ?

[Rachel]

@Kelct I was told my return had been “processed” as well..but that they would not release the hold on my refund because of the amount of discrepancy. Shrug.. I did what the TA advised me to do.

[Prettyladyte]

@Kelcf I’m 0705 also and I’m still processing…did u call for a TA ? Or how did u get the letter from one ? I’ve tried contacting them twice and was told I didn’t qualify due to not having a hardship. I called Irs today and was told to basically wait until 4/26 when my review will be done I originally filed 1/25 have yet to get a update received the CP05 3/12

[Kelcf]

One last thing lmao … I had several errors on my return and completely left out a w2 and 1099r. I DID NOT amend as I was told it would jus hold things up. So even after review and all thE errors I made they STILL processed my return. Will amend later.

[Kelcf]

My original cycle date was 0705. The 05 means I’m a weekly. I’m assuming the as of date is jus a date reflecting 21 days since your return had any changes made. My as of date changed once they finished review and began processing again. Also I called for a TA and was told I couldn’t get one because I didn’t have a hardship. However two weeks later I received letter from TAs office saying they would have my return completed by April 6th. So it very well could have been TA who finished my return up for me. Would make sense because I called on the 7th and the letter stated they Began working on my case on 3/12 and my As Of date coincidentally updated that Friday.

[Sweet pea]

@Rachel’s
Did u check wmr tp see if they did amendment r still saying the same

[Laurie]

canes,

my codes are the same and no movement at all! beyond frustrated to say the least!

Laurie

[Rachel]

@SweetPea nope, I have heard nada

[Sweet pea]

@Rachel
Have you heard anything yet this crazy my ta call yesterday n said they should let her know on 5th

[Vee]

@Kelcf

How do you know If you’re a weekly update ? My as of date is 3/12 processing date 3/5

[Rachel]

@Canes18 My TA told me that they won’t touch my original return and it will not be released UNLESS I amend. Because my discrepancy in wages didn’t fall in their tolerance. So basically either way I was going to be waiting forever. At least if I amend I know they finally have the correct info in their system.

[Canes18]

@jenny
That’s why I was advised not to amend, it will hold up the process because they then have to merge the info and process it all. They aren’t touching amendments until originals are done to avoid interest. I don’t know this for a fact just from what I’ve gathered so I’m just kinda sitting here waiting.

[Canes18]

No changes for me. I was accepted 1/31 per TT but my transcripts say 20180605 and my processing date is 2/26. 570 Hold on 3/5 and “as of” dates changed from 3/5 to 3/12 and have stayed there since. I’m guessing that means I’m just sitting in a pile.

[Jenny]

Help!!
Here’s my line
1/29 submitted and accepted
2/20 was told I was under review 45
And then several either 45/60 days review
03.09 called TA intake was told I needed to amend bc I was over the guideline for allowance (submitted that day)
03.12 was assigned TA she said she was submitting and set up f/u call for 04.01
03.29 TA called back said I had been verified and was in the processing department finally! And set f/u call for 04.19
For sh*ts and grins with everyone getting DD I called the IRS to see if I had made it thru the processing dept. the lady at the IRS was very nice no hold time she verified my info, put me on hold and then when she cane back her info was all over the place. She said that it had been processed and to wait 2-4 weeks for my DD. When I asked what day it was processed bc I had sent stuff in on 03.09. She said you was processed on the 9th and then chose for review bc of your amounts, on the 12 they rec’d the amended return but since they hadn’t released my return before the amendment came in they have to wait for that and she doesn’t even see that being processed and will take 12-16 weeks once they start processing. My TA said I should have it anytime between now and 3 weeks as everything matched up. Sooo anyone else run into this?

[Kelcf]

Nah it will update tonight on wmr if you’re a weekly. Transcripts updated last night. If you have a major credit card or car loan and your cell is in your name you’ll be able to view transcripts online. The 846 code and date at bottom is what your looking for. Some more details for you guys ..,

[Really fed up]

Oh and wmr still has not updated.

[Really fed up]

Up date tax advocate asked for hold to be released on mar 12. Called Today ddd for April 4 th.

[NoaTay3]

@Kelcf Did that date show up on WMR too?

[Kelcf]

846 this morning for 4/4!! Finally filed accepted 1/29

[Sabrina]

My refund amount still showing but it has no tax codes or status bars but it says “we recieved your refund a date will be provided when available, your refund is still being processed” has anyone gotten their refund when it said this with no update. It been saying the same thing for a week and irs said I don’t have to send anything in🤔I filed self employment at a tax office so it’s legit😒 why isn’t it updating😠😠😠

[Nesza0215]

@canes18

1/25 was the date I filed and was accepted and my notice date was 2/7 and I’ve got the run around for the last two months but today I finally got some type of answer so if I don’t get a ddd by April 8th come April 9th I’m calling

[MKR]

@canes18

I think you answered your own question with your last few words. No one knows. LOL

[Canes18]

@nesza0215

1/25 was the date of your notice, file date, or processing date?

Trying to figure out which date my 60 goes by since I’ve been given a few different answers between the notice, the rep, and online.

[Nesza0215]

Been waiting since 1/25 called again today and got a rep that said once my 60 day hold is up on April 8th if I don’t have my refund they can send a request to release it but not until April 8th so just counting days

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Really fed up
I hope this is what my TA tells me tomorrow. My release was requested on the 12th as well. I called the IRS yesterday but he said that my transcripts really haven’t changed. But my return posted and that was a good thing. Asked my coworker who use to work for the IRS what it meant she said that means it’s done processing and I’m just waiting on the 846. She said that WMR will more than likely update next week.

[Really fed up]

Filed 1/29 got tax advocate to ask for hold to be released on mar 12.
Called today told me hold was released yesterday. Yea finally. But said it could take 2 wks to get a ddd😭 but thank god it got released

[Jenny]

Finally got call back from TA. This is very frustrating! My amended return (which TA told me I had to do in order to get my refund) was submitted by TA on 03.12 just finally was processed by the verification department almost 3 weeks for that! My return as of yesterday was submitted to the processing department but she said it will more than likely take 3 week for it to be processed and then it is up to the system to generate my return. Like WTF why is it taking so long. I originally submitted/accepted 1.29 and was told like many of you I was under 45 and 60 day review. I’m sorry this is bullshit. She said to keep checking on Friday’s because that is when the system updates. Can anyone tell the same story??? I was hoping to have our money befor our sons birthday on the 12 of April loosing hope that will even happen.

[Vee]

File 1/28 Accepted 1/29
4464C Letter date 2/27
Processing date on Transcript 3/5/18

It’s been 30 days since I got the 60 day letter. I called the IRS yesterday and my hold sti hasn’t been lifted. My transcripts were updated on 3/14 and haven’t changed since. Did anyone get their refund yet with these dates ?

[Holly]

return accepted on 1/31/2018. Called after 21 days was told 45 day review. If no letter from irs in that 45 time refund would be issued. Got a letter dated March 6 2018 in which the irs has given themselves another 60 days from date of letter. Got a tax advocate on March 8 2018. She called me on March 13. Told me because of hardship it would be 2 weeks from when she filed my request for release of refund until i would at least have a refund date. NOthing!..now I’m screwed because i have no answers and can’t get her to call me back! So peeved.

[melissa compton]

filed 3/12 and accepted the same day. 3/13 was able to get onto WMR stated processing.
as of tonight it is still processing and my transcript doesnt have a cycle date or anything.
kinda confused I expected it this weekend based off of the schedules that ive seen out.

can I still get a refund if there isntba transcript

Melissa

[Canes18]

@laurie

I have the same dates, cycle code, and WMR message. No additional letters and nothing on my transcripts. Here’s to hoping for progress soon.

[Laurie]

Prettylady

It’s been since 1/29 for me and I also had a cycle code of 20180605 but obviously that has come and gone. I received a 4464C letter around 3/2/18 and haven’t received anything since. Due to my crazy work schedule I cannot seem to speak to anyone at IRS. No movement, no more notices, on WMR it still says, “your refund is being processed”. I am beyond frustrated to say the least and while I try to think positive, it’s getting very difficult!

[Canes18]

@mike
I gotcha, IRS has my “fun” money so I’m passing the time online :p

[MikeR]

@Canes18

Understood, and agree, but merely trying to make a point that funding wasn’t the reason for current delays.

[Canes18]

Forgive my typos, multitasking.

[Canes18]

Our country is in an insane amount of debt. We were “belly up” years ago and continue to pay out money we don’t have. Not having the funding for anything hasn’t stopped anything so far 😒 The rule is needed, if you’ve ever had your I’d stolen and a return fraudulently filed you would understand why. The implentataion of the rule? Yeah that’s a cluster and then some but not surprising. Efficiency isn’t a governmental strong suit under any administration. Just my two cents for the night since we all are here daily now 😊

[Rachel]

correction, I read @kells comment wrong. But either way, I am sure the IRS has enough money

[Rachel]

@MikeR agree. And LOL I am quite sure the IRS has plenty of money to pay its employees

[MikeR]

@Kells

I seriously doubt the IRS is belly up. But we do have a certain administration to thank for the mandate that started this mess.

[Kells]

I’ve have been going through the same problem and all irs representatives tel me different things and give me different dates, this is so danm annoying they’re quick to take ur money of your checks but can’t give us our Danm money back… from what I heard is that irs don’t have enough money to pay everybody so that’s why they are messing with everybody.

[Rachel]

@Cekia its your cycle code – but honestly those numbers don’t seem to indicate anything when you are at the point most of us here are. The IRS just does what they want. The numbers and dates don’t seem to mean diddly squat.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Canes18 It wasn’t on my transcript when I first called and got a TA, she told me that was the hold up code, because the withholding i reported on my original return was different from what they reported, but I used my last check stub and think I was entering numbers to fast and misentered

[Cekia]

Who has 20181105 what does this mean they said 60 days from March 20 2018 could it be that long may 18 2018 I heard that 20181105 means March 15 2018 that’s when they process my return

[Canes18]

@latrice where would I see a CP05 code if I had one? I know ours is off by 2k-ish but I haven’t amended. I can’t get a TA until after my 45-60 days.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Jenny yes I did amend because she said with a CP05 code it wasn’t going to process since it was off by 2000 dollars, I called her on Monday and she didn’t reply she gave me her desk number and she answered this morning and told me to expect change or movement this weekend or next week I amended on 3/19 she said she’s keeping an eye out on it my call back day is the 23 of April but she told me this morning oh it will definitely be before that.

[Jenny]

@latrice did you amend yours? If so what day was everything submitted? All of mine was submitted in 3/12 I left my TA a message on Monday and no call back so no idea where mine is. When she first took my case she set up a follow up for Monday April 2. I hope the end is near. I’m a weekly updated so no update in WMR I think the damn thing is broken lol

[Latrice Jackson]

@Canes18, yes i did the TA told me that my return would not process if I didn’t the IRS kept telling me wait for it to go thru but at this rate had i waited it would be nothing moving now the TA I have is very open and honest with me and said by this weekend or the beginning of next week things should move.

[Canes18]

@latrice,

Did you amend? No TA for me so I’m just following along with everyone that has similar dates/info.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel and @Jenny Just called and spoke with my TA she said expect some movement in my return by the weekend, I’m not sure if they are closed or not on Friday, so at this point not even excited to see it, but she answered on the first ring when I called, I’m just over it and she did let me know since I hadn’t received my original refund, i would get my refund DD, and also I asked since my return went down would it reflect that on WMR or what but she didn’t really say. So let’s all agree and pray that Saturday we will get some good news.

[Prettyladyte]

Good morning it’s been 62 long days since I filed…is anyone else a 0705 processing date 3/5 and 971 on 3/12 ??

[eri]

@Patresa Can you tell me what number to call to speak with a live rep thanks

[Patresa Dewitt]

Hi, everyone I am beyond frustrated. Filed and accepted 2/2 with a processing date of 2/26. I received a letter on 3/13 dated 3/8 and I was told I was under review . Contacted a TA on 3/19, they did inform me that I reported a W-2 that they had no record of. Sigh…..okay. I submitted the W-2 with letter from employer. Haven’t heard from my TA since. Called IRS today and they told me that I am no longer under review but while everyone was busy concentrating on the review, that they overlooked me needing to verify my identity. SMH….. So they told me they would send me letter with a control number and to call back with it and that the verifying process could take 9 weeks. This is ridiculous

[TiredOfWaiting]

I’m still here waiting and wondering. Like many of you I filed with my last check stub and my wages only were off by like 3000. My withholdings were all correct. My TA said for me NOT to amend until after my original return was done processing. She out in a request for my money to be released on 3/12 but I have not heard from her since. She is supposed to call with an update this Friday. I ordered my transcripts via mail on 3/18 and there had been no changes or movement since 3/12 which was the day I spoke to my TA, it’s also the date listed next to my 570 code and also the day the IRS rep said my review began despite previously being told the review started 2/15. Praying for my refund this weekend. If not I know that sometime between 4/2 and 4/26 I will have my money.

[Canes18]

It would be amazing if instead of sending out generic review letters they would specify exactly what needs reviewing. Is it income discrepancy, missing a form, genuine random review, issue with deductions? Even if we can’t amend/fix it fast, as tax payers we should help things move faster by being ready with whatever info is needed when they get to our return. Help me help you IRS. I bet they wouldn’t be as backed up if they had a more effective process for the ones pulled out of line.

[Keri]

Hi! New here but I always read. Heres my Situation.
Filed 1/29, was neer on path, been on Still being processed forever.
Got a letter no action needed dated 3/8. Called the following monday, was told to wait, nothing needed, not being processed yet.

Called today, SHe told me that I was in the process of being reviewed? Cuz I told her the lady told me I hadnt even been looked at yet and she said She couldnt see any other information just that it is being reviewed. Hopefully I update this weekend before losing my mind!

[Latrice Jackson]

@Jenny ok thank I wasn’t sure, glad to know thank you.

[Jenny]

@latrice correct the irs is no longer able to discus your acct with you once you have a TA.

[Latrice Jackson]

So once you get a TA, the IRS want speak to you about your return anymore? Do you have to get all info from the TA from now on?

[Rachel]

@jenny my TA sounded helpful when I spoke to her 2 weeks ago. Now I can’t get a call back.

[Xxtina]

@Rachel i was off by 2500 just by the wages but everything else was right like his fed withehld, social etc. TA doesn’t even call back. But all the irs agents told me they should be able to fix it. But man taking forever. Im on my 30 days already since the letter. No movement or nothing.

[Jenny]

@rachel mine was way off u also used our last check stubs. Always in the past I was told by ppl who amended theirs they had to wait till it had processed and that is what I was going to do but I had finally had enough of the bs the irs had told me 40/60 day hold letters being sent/no letter. It was frustrating so I called a TA. She said because I was so off (3000) it would never be processed. I don’t get why these jacka$$es cantvget tgeir crap together. On Monday the 2nd it will be 3 weeks since I was submitted by TA

[Rachel]

@jenny my gut tells me I needed to amend. I filed off my last pay stub of the year and it was totally off what was reported on my W-2. Not sure if it had to do with how my pay period fell or what. But my income was 2400 off and my reported taxes withheld were wrong as well. When they fix math errors I think maybe they are talking about transposed numbers or something. IDK but mine was way off.

[Jenny]

@Rachel I’m in the same boat. I was told I had to amend or it wouldn’t be processed. I called yesterday to see if i had a refund date, no call back, unable to get transcripts as it keeps saying “a techinal error occurred try again later” and the good ol irs won’t give any info bc I have a TA. I think we are in a deep dark hole that is not being processed. BS if you ask me.

[Rachel]

Not sure what they consider a “mathematical error”.

[Rachel]

@Canes18 I was trying to do some googling on amending returns and its not clear when the heck you are supposed to do it. It does say if there is a mathematical error that the IRS will fix it and you should wait till you get your refund before amending. But it also gives different scenarios for amending like if your filing status or income was incorrect. Ugh, so who the hell really knows.

[Canes18]

It’s definitely obnoxious. At least for me, my refund is “due 4/15.” From what I’ve read, if it’s not disbursed by then the IRS owes 4% interest on the amount held. Of course that’s taxable next year. I don’t have a TA, don’t qualify for hardship and not timewise yet. Like everyone, I definitely had plans for the money but everything happens for a reason so all I can do is wait.

[Rachel]

Is everyone affiliated with the IRS included TA’s, just misinformed or are they blowing smoke up our a–‘s?? Why have I gotten so much contradiction information. I had several people tell me without a doubt that the IRS will NOT process an issue a refund to me because of my math error. THen I read here people in the same situation being told something completely different. Does anyone know their a– from a hole in the ground there??

[Canes18]

@latrice
Where did you see the CP code? Was it below the 570 in that same section? I was also told not to amend and to wait.

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel that’s what my TA told me that they would not release my original refund until it was amended that’s why I had a CPo5 code on my transcript.

[Sweet pea]

@rachel
Anything yet I amended my taxes 2

[Donna]

I filed the last week of January and used TT and it said accepted the next day. Waitied for 21 days, heard nothing then I got a letter in the mail stating that I was under a review and it was dated February 27. My 60 days would be the beging on May and I am desperately need my refund for a car. My car did on me right before Christmas and I was depending on this money for a car. This is dramatized more than it should be. I can’t understand why my return sat there for a month before it was touched. So angry and stressed it not even funny. I have to work and I have to have a car to get to work. I can’t keep bumming rides or borrowing cars.

[Rachel]

@Xxtina that is so odd. I have had 3 or 4 diff people there, including the TA I got. tell me that they will not issue my original refund I filed because my discrepancy was too great. My TA said I have to amend. Who knows what to believe.

[sasha hayes]

Mine says that it’s processing and a date will be provided, but that’s been the case for a month, but the amount has not changed

[ShaunaNeedsBands]

Mines just says it’s being processed . The refund amount is on the side. Not sure if it’s been there from day one or just showed up

[STL2ATL]

@Rachel

Since I never got the 1099-G to report, I was missing $3300. My return is now decreased by $1,654.

[Jeannine]

@mrk I called turbo tax and talked to a few different people after holding forever .. I don’t do my state with them but they charged me both after I got the letter saying I owed both I called the lady said she could see they were taking it out of my bank March the 3rd the letter said April , then there’s a 60$ something charge for them taking it from my bank which is crazy .. then I was told I had to call Santa Barbara bank because they handled their debit reversal I thought they did RAL “s .. but they told me to call another number and it ended up being another turbo tax number lol so after speaking with a supervisor she said they’d mail me s refund check after they took the fees out of my bank in April so I got off the phone frustrated and later got a email saying the refund wouldn’t be issued because it wasn’t under their policy guidelines ????? Wow

[Xxtina]

@rachel they told me not to amend either. They said they will adjust it themself. I overreported by 2500. I thought i underreported but i took a closer look. But im entitled to 500 more.

[Rachel]

@STL2ATL hmmm, maybe every situation is different. How much of a difference does it make in your refund? I was off by about $2400 in my wages.

[STL2ATL]

@Rachel

You are correct. Because I never received my 1099-G from Unemployment my amount did not match with what they had, but I was told I did not need to amend… a different form is used other than the 1040x to amend. So she is looking to expedite my return since I opt for the fees to come out and I never received the original refund.

[Latrice Jackson]

Yes the TA assigned to my case said they would not release my return until I amended it, it’s been one week as of today and I’ve heard nothing yet so hopefully something will happen this week.

[MKR]

@blackhole

I read on here that someone called TurboTax and was able to get their payment deferred. I may try that. I also read a while back about a SW update pertaining to the PATH Act was not installed early enough to catch early filers on TurboTax. Therefore, we got pushed to the bottom. So much speculation though. I can’t believe anything I read anymore.

[Rachel]

@STL2ATL thats weird they told you that you don’t need to amend unless you got your refund. I was told I had to because I filed the wrong amount of wages and it did not fall with their tolerance that they will allow so the said I had to file an amended return because they would not process my original.

[Gary]

So my TA called me stated that I was missing a W2, which I new I added it was the first one I added. She stated that I had to fax over my amended return and would have to wait longer.. Went and checked my info and sure enough I put it in there. I called her LM, She ended up calling me back stating that they did find it it was their mistake. so they resubmitted it.. This sucks bad.

[inthestillprocessingblackhole]

And Turbo Tax wants to be paid. No problem with that. However I feel they can wait until I get my refund. I agreed to pay out of my refund like I do every year. It is not my fault that the IRS wants to screw us all this year.

[inthestillprocessingblackhole]

@MKR

I did file through Turbo Tax. From what I am reading and seeing a lot of us are held up that used TT. Those that have filed through a different company don’t seem to be having the same delays.

[Cekia]

It is fustrating espically when you don’t know which one to believe do i believe the april 2 or March 5 should I just wait 60 days from March 20 like my letter stated

[Cekia]

Heather I filed before you on the 24 how you got yours before me

[Michael]

@cekia I believe they are probably telling you different dates based on your processing date. I received the 4464c dated March 15th, and my processing date (which I’m supposed to allow 45-60 days) is the March 19th. It seems a lot of people on here had some type of update in two weeks from the 4464c letter.

I know its frustrating, right? I filed/accepted 2/9/2018.

[Cekia]

I filed February 24 2018 both state and federal accepted that same day actually 5 mins after I put it in.now I was told two different things one lady told me April 2nd 2018 is the start of my review wait 45 days from then so may 18th 2018 but I can get my money sooner so I received the 4464 letter it was dated March 20th 2018 wait 60 days from the March 20 so I called the man said my review already started March 5th so i should be hearing something by April 2nd so confused

[MKR]

@blackhole

Did you file with TurboTax? I F/A Jan 30 and got my letter dated 3/9. No updates since.

[inthestillprocessingblackhole]

Has anyone on this thread filed and been accepted on or around 1/26 received your refund? Or gotten a dd? I got my wonderful wait 60 days bull crap letter dated 3/7 on 3/12. Just wondering if anyone else got the BS letter around the same time and had gotten a dd or seen any changes. Can’t even begin to express how frustrated I am with this whole process. Especially since friends and family filed months after me with the same credits and have received their refund hassle free.

[Jenny]

Sorry follow up call 04.02

[Jenny]

This is crazy. I’m so tired of waiting. I called my TA who took my case and submitted everything on the 12th and left VM no response. Attempted to get transcripts online was given “a techinal error has occurred” I called the irs just to see if they would give me any info. He was very nice. All he kept saying was no refund date has been given. You need to call your TA and she can help get this released sooner. So I’m guessing….only guessing I have finally made it to being processed. I’m an a weekly update so maybe next week I’ll have my refund. My TA when she took my case she set her follow up call with me as 04.01. This has been the worst year ever for taxes.

[STL2ATL]

@Pastfedup

I did like you and contacted a TA finally after waiting since I filed on 1/19 and accepted on 1/22. I only posted to this forum in the begining when it first kicked off this year. Just been popping through the threads here and there.

I amended my return per the intake TA department on 3/20. I was told to fax my 1040x amended return and my missing 1099-G for unemployment I NEVER received and that my appointment call would be scheduled on 3/22 .Another TA person that was filling in for my assigned tax advocate called me on 3/22 to verify the faxed info she received and that my TA was going to call me on 4/3 about what was going to happen. My hardship case tax advocate actually called me the next day 3/23 and said I did not need to send the amended return because I NEVER received any money and that form is only used when you actually get your return. she stated she would all me on Tuesday 4/27 with an update as to when this would be expedited.

Question: Based off your post, you stating it “could” take only 1 week and 10 days to get your money (and not 3 weeks like she told me as well)? Have your return posted today like you stated? Did you have fees taken out?

I need my coins!!!!!! LOL

[jlm]

He said there is an error on my return and they are processing it. It may be June before I see any return because it has to be processed manually now.

[jlm]

Just called IRS. I was only on hold 13 minutes before getting a live person!!

Filed 2/12
Accepted 2/12
Bars disappeared a week later
No info at all on transcript
No letters or communication from IRS

He’s researching now….

[Rachel]

@LatriceJackson no i have not. I left a message with her friday but haven’t heard back yet. Sigh….

[MaryBeth]

Filed January 31st accepted same day, letter from IRS February 27, stating nothing for me to do but wait, WMR says “still processing”. No changes since January I’m giving up!

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel have you heard anything from your TA or received any updates yet?

[TazzyTazzy]

The. Irs Is full of shit I filed in january they accepted it January 29 I received a letter in February each irs rep told me something different one said the review got lifted March 5 to wait 45 days from that date when I called today the rep said the review has not been lifted and to wait 60 days which is April 30 4 fuckin months I’m beyond annoyed

[Really fed up]

@Valerie
I try to get my transcript online but everytime I do it says technical difficulties how did you register an account

[Valerie Mason]

WMR says still processing, but my transcript shows 846 for 3/28? Still searching for answers.

[Prettyladyte]

[Sweet pea]

@prettyladyte

[Sweet pea]

@prettyladyte

[Prettyladyte]

@Really fed up because I was told Friday there would be a update this week for a lot of us who have been waiting

[IRS SUCKS]

I got filled and got accepted on Feb 24 but my transcript says processing on April 2, Why is that?
I got a letter stating that theres nothing they need and just wait.
20181105

[Really fed up]

@prettyladyt
Why you say that. Updates this week

[Prettyladyte]

Be on the lookout for those updates this week

[keisellluiser]

Can someone tell why the IRS. Told me that I need to verify my address if I never changes. My address what should I do?

[Really fed up]

@Dec when did u file

[DEC]

Juse be patient. Your to will come.

[ShallowWaters]

@artic.turtle

I am still here and waiting as well….nothing has changed….i’m beginning to think I will never see my money…I truly believe that at this point.

[MKR]

@jeannie

Same here. F/A 1/29 TurboTax, got 4464c 3/12, called irs 3 times. Wmr says still processing.

[Priscilla]

Filed 1/28. Accepted 1/29. Lost bars first week of Feb. Went to “your tax return is still being processed”. Stayed stuck so finally called IRS on 3/7and was told had to IDverify and letter would be sent. received letter 4883c on 3/10. Called on 3/12 and was told I couldn’t verify over phone and was give appt. to go to local office on 3/16. Verify was successful on 3/16. The agent told me it would take 9 weeks to receive refund. WMR changed this past Wednesday night into Thursday morning 3/22. Changed to “we have received your tax return and it is being processed”. Checked WMR last night around 3:30 a.m (3/24) and bars are back with status of approved and DDD for 3/28

[Krystal]

Got accepted by 3/4. Last Thursday all my bar is gone and the status said refund is STILL being process and refund day would be given out when available. After reading many posts about the issue, I think I will just let the lord decide my faith, lmao. I will try to call next week to see whats up.

[Jeannine]

Attic.turtle@@@@
Still here still waiting .. I filed turbo tax Jan 29 and accepted my WMR still says still processing I got a letter saying do nothing but wait called twice told do nothing but wait .. I can only get my transcripts by mail and they’ve both been the same there was 3-5-18 date beside my cycle date .. it’s all confusing

[Pastfedup]

@waitinginwi

I amended

[Canes18]

@michael

Same issue here. Filed 1/31 with EIC and CTC, Processing date of 2/26, 570 hold 3/5, my transcript used to say “as of 3/5” then changed to “as of 3/12” and hasn’t moved since. Refund due date of 4/15. Wage transcript is empty/not filed. I wonder if it’s like some other people have mentioned where employers haven’t submitted or the IRS hasn’t documented W-2s yet. We aren’t in a hardship and I don’t want to take away from people that really need a rush processing so I get to sit here and exercise that virtue of patience. It’s definitely frustrating not knowing what the issue is, especially if it’s something I can fix easily like the W-2 issue.

[artic.turtle]

hello everyone,
just letting you know I’m all still here. Just a quick refresher I filed and was excepted on January 31, 2018. On or around February 16 I received the infamous 60 day do nothing review letter. My WMR never updated to the path message and simply went from being processed to still being processed, I never lost my refund amount and my tax topic always remained the 152. Oddly on my H&R Block account, my filing date in my tax history updated from January 31 of 2018 to March 1 of 2018 letting me know that this was the new date my taxes were filed. I find this completely odd, as how could I have ever received a review letter a week after I really filed, if the IRS is saying they have not received it until March 1, and my transcripts reflect that?? I am un-able to access my transcripts online ,even though I never had problems in the past but now with the new security measures, it will not except my car loans or my credit cards so I have to resort to having them mailed to me. The first time I ordered them , they were received blank. The second time that I ordered them, everything was filled in but I did have a 570 hold code with a date of 3/12/18 and no additional coding reflecting the letter ai already received or any new being been sent. I ordered my transcripts again approximately two weeks later and the same thing same old code no other additional codes and nothing stating about a letter being sent or coming . Now I know many at this point would call, but reading everybody’s posts and all the different responses that they’re getting, it seems like the call is just a waste of time. I cannot even bother with the tax advocate because I’m not under any hardship. I am truly baffled this year and don’t understand why they tell us to file early to avoid scammers doing it for us, if only were going to be the ones that are held up for a ridiculous amount of time . i’m curious to know who is still here with me and has anybody else received these review letters prior to their filing date changing with their tax company? Again I have received no further letters/correspondence and have received my transcripts to my address fine, and I have signed up for the Informed delivery with USPS and every day I see nothing coming from the IRS. At this point any update would help, at least I would know I’m heading in some form of direction because at this point this is just pure nonsense. Next year Im waiting to file, as I already know I will have a change of address and a new baby to add, I can’t evwn imagine as that will probably flag next years return for about a million reviews…….. I mean come on, actually no it will be the opposite, Ill get it, in less than 10 days, because thats how this broken system works.

[WaitingInWI]

@pastfedup did you amend it or just leave it?

[Lboogie720]

I also was able to order my return transcript as well but the website hasn’t updated at all.

[Lboogie720]

@Michael they asked me to fax my schedule eic form that my tax preparer didn’t send with my return.

[Michael]

Still no update for me. Field and accepted 2/9/2018. 570 code w/ 3/19/2018 processing date.
Received 4464c letter dated 3-15/2018.
I have access to online transcripts but I noticed the 2017 wage income transcript is blank/not received. Anyone else have this issue? I was guessing that this may be the reason for the delay, however, the 4464c did not request that I send anything in.

[Stillwaiting]

Update: woke up with a ddd of 3/28 this morning. Finally. Light at the end of the tunnel.

Filed and accepted 1/29
Letter in feb.
Called IRS several times, up to 3 days ago even and was told nothing but wait and no idea how long.

[Heather]

I filed and was accepted on 2/27. My status went to the still being processed stage. I called on Wednesday 3/21. A really nice lady spoke with me. I hadn’t received any letters. She said that certain credits were taking a little longer.(Like 1-2 weeks she said) She could see my return making movement,. I asked it I should call back in 3 weeks if I hadn’t had progress and she said I should have progress in less than that. Call back in 2 weeks if no progress. Today I got a DDD of 3/26!!!! Yippee!!!!!

[Leeya]

No update for me

[Rob]

Filed 2/1 got the letter 2/28 bars disappeared, still processing till now, got a dd for 3/28, so they catching up,never called ,no T/a used so don’t waist your time calling

[Pastfedup]

[Michael]

@Lboogie720 What did they ask you to submit?

[Lboogie720]

Mailed taxes on 2/7/18, bars disappeared, received letter 3/16, faxed document 3/19, still no change as of today!!

[Nesza0215]

The irs is full of crap I got a horrible lady today who told me oh your on a 60 day hold I said I thought my 60 day hold was up why is it every time I call you guys I get something new from each person and because I don’t have any past due bills I can’t request a tax advocate this is my money !!!!!! I have waited 60 days since I filed and still have no damn refund yet I got my state refund two months ago!!!!!’ This is a load of bull and I want my money

[Chris]

I am weekly but IRS tells me WMR updates daily that there’s no such a thing as weekly update and daily update- are they lying?

[KEISELLUISER]

thanks @Christ I´ll call today to that number

[Gary]

Got a call from a TA last night. She told me that I had a discrepancy of 1200.00. and that’s the reason mine was selected for a review. She also stated that I am still within the threshold and does not see anything wrong with my return. She is going to try and get them to rush it, and it could take up to three weeks. At least I have an answer now as to why they selected it for review. I hate that it took me requesting a TA I feel better now that I know.

[Leeya]

@nova

Gm this is ridiculous. The reason i ended up getting a TA is because everytime i called the irs i was getting told different things. I was told nothing is wrong then told i was under review i may or may not get a letter.then i finally received the 60 day review letter which actaully told me to do nothing.i had i listened ill still be waiting thinking my refund was gone get release and it wasnt. The TA finally told me that i was missing a w2 and also i didnt file one of w2 because it was small so it gave me alittle more insight of what was going on. But if they told you to forget the 60 day review thats great but also understand you cant really trust them because they all say different things.im just at the point where ive prayed about it abd when God is ready to release it he will.she said april 4th so i pray its final by then. I have been unemployeef since jan which is why i really need my coins.i just recently got hired at the airport in which can take a month to actually start working due to them doind an extensive background check.but i pray all is well for all of us because we need our money

[WaitingInWI]

Just figured I’d update given recent questions.
Filed later on Feb 9th accepted at 12:02am Feb 10th for federal.
Had general accepted bar for about a week, received my wi refund.
Bars disappeared and I knew I was in for it, hoped I wasn’t but here I am.
Anyways called after my 21 days told I was being held for additional review and I “should” get a letter. So by now I’m a week into march order tax transcripts by mail 3/6 called a local ta who told me one of my w2s wasn’t showing on the IRS side it was actually quite confusing so I find my w2 call the IRS and am asked if I received my letter dated 03/05, I say I haven’t checked my mail as my car is illegal to drive and its over an hr one way she says well it basically just says your under review and to do nothing but allow up to 45 days for review from Feb 23rd. I mention the w2 stuff and she said whoever is reviewing my return can see that but not her and they would request by mail if I needed anything. Then i lost my job, transmissiom in reliable car goes out, the propane i assumed was on keep fill runs out and i find out its cash on delivery even though a month and a half ago they filled me and left a bill which i paid within a week. So i drive to get my last check and get pulled over 2 blocks from my old job and am then given fix it tickets within 10 days or sell it. Go get mail and all i have is transcripts which are date for 03/06 and have the 570 for 3/19 and 971 for 3/26. Call back wi ta and he tells me I should amend without that w2 I said it’d give me a bigger refund he said no it’d be smaller I checked the tax estimator and it was 2 grand more then I see that it could add 16 weeks. Call national ta and go through hours of hold and being talked out of applying for hardship by multiple reps, one who had even said it would take longer if I got help from a ta. Luckily one of the IRS reps basically told me to demand for it so I stuck to it finally got to an intake rep who said amending was a bad idea since everything was correct. The intake rep also made it seem like it could take longer using a ta “but if I wanted to try proving hardship she could make up the report” I told her I need whatever is going to get my refund fastest. She assigns me a ta out of Utah and tells me it’ll be 3 days for the ta to contact me. Day before the ta calls me I find the Utah offices fax and send in my w2 for the company that had the missing w2(coincidentally the one job I left on not the best terms) she calls and tells me she got the w2 and that is the one missing I ask if its employers fault and she says it could be or it could be the IRS hasn’t put it in the system yet. Tells me to send in any old pay stubs I can find( worked there 9+mos ago) I send in 4 from various dates and she also had me send in proof of hardship if I wanted to try getting it sooner than within 2 weeks. I send in everything weds. Don’t hear back. Call back Thursday and she called me back around 4 told me my bills are less than my refund so she asks if I want to ask for my bills worth asap and then wait possibly up to a month for the rest or wait up to two weeks for the full refund. I told her whatever is going to be faster. I assume she’s doing the two week deal she told me she has the 30th off so she’ll call me April 3rd if she hasn’t gotten a DDD yet. She also did confirm the IRS is very behind in uploading w2s which is basically causing a pile of reviews and also causing a pile of tax advocate cases. Hopefully I get my refund by April 3rd I’ll be sure to keep checking wmr(still no bars) and update when I can. Hope my story helps give a little insight as there’s A LOT of gray area on here, the IRS, and the ta’s. Good luck everyone. I hope everyone gets there refund asap especially those in hardships. Remember its your money. Use the tax estimators to figure out what to claim stop giving them an interest free loan every year for them to hold your refund for months before they even think of paying you interest. Ideally you want to zero out at the end of the year.
Again best of luck!

[john]

so im still being processed, but i saw my account transcript finally gave me a cycle code, 20181205. im still unclear as to what that means, could someone explain what the cycle code means as far as me getting my refund goes ha. thank you

[Irsblues]

@mimiikei. Same here cycle code 20181005 processing date of 3/26 . I had a 570 with 3/26. But when I called on Monday they said my hold was released on 3/14. So I don’t know what to believe, I still have no refund.

[Mimiikei]

Cycle code 20181005
Processing date 3/26 (as i was told by irs)

So i called today and was told a 45 day review from 3/26, like seriously and and said their wasnt any additional information needed at this time. So lost here. The wmr says” still being processed” with tt 152. Anyone in the same boat as me. Please im in need of answers!!

[SHenderson]

[HAYLEE]

I AM SOOOOO FRUSTRATED! I FILED 1/29 AND WAS ACCEPTED RIGHT AWAY. FEB 15TH I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING I WAS UNDER REVIEW AS OF FEB AND TO ALLOW THEM 45 DAYS WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN APRIL 02. I STILL HAVEN’T HEARD ANYTHING SO I CALLED TODAY AND WAS TOLD I WAS SELECTED FOR ANOTHER REVIEW WHICH CAN TAKE 60 DAYS AND CALL IF I HAVEN’T RECEIVED MY REFUND MAY!!!!!!! I’VE WORKED ALL YEAR WITH A W-2

[lharrison]

For anyone just joining this group, welcome to refund hell! I filed 1/29 accepted – still haven’t received refund. Got 4464 letter beginning of March and no changes. All it says, “your refund is being processed” no bars. When I spoke with an IRS agent, they said to wait 45 days – 4464 letter says to wait 60 days!

Hang in there!

[email protected]

[Momof2]

@idkirs I called yesterday and the lady said I was still under review but woke up this morning to a ddd. Hopefully you’ll get it sooner!

[Idkirs]

@Momof2. I filed on 1/30 too. Got the review letter on 5th of mar. But no record of letter being sent on transcript. Called on Monday and IRS said my hold was released on 3/14 and to wait about 3 weeks.

[Sweet pea]

@rachel
When you amended your tax was it going to be direct deposit and how long will it be

[Momof2]

I posted here a few weeks ago, maybe last month.
Filed 1/30, bars disappeared 2/17, called irs twice was told under 60 day review, received letter 4464c 3/2, im a weekly updater which means I only update saturdays, but today 3/22 I checked wmr and my bars are back. Ddd 3/26. I guess irs is doing everything randomly.

[Nova]

@Leeya This is absolutely ridiculous I just didn’t want to get a TA if all I was missing was a W’2 why I can’t fax it to the IRS myself! I really thing the IRS is full of Bull I just called them back now their saying forget about the 60day hold I’m not sack on a 45day hold from the 15 and I should see a change some time this week idk what’s going on I’m so confused at this moment!!!!!

[Leeya]

@Nova

Hi yes im going thru the same thing. I filed and accepted jan 29th.called several times and was told nothing is wrong wait 45 days etc.lost all my bars on 02/15 finally got fed up and called a TA who told me i was missing a w2 in which i didn plan on filing because no withholdings was taken out and then also one of my employers didnt report. I was told all this on march 9th however. So i faxed all my w2’s in that same day.was told my next point of contact would be aoril 4th i guess thats when i should be receiving my taxes.however im so tired because everytime i try to call my TA or her supervisor no one ever answers and im just over it. I did notice this week wmr changed from still processing to its being processed. What day it changed idk because i dobe saw processing for so long until im just confused

[RLZ]

I filed on 1/31/18…
Was accepted same day.

Still have been waiting.

Got the letter that says they are reviewing things, but I need to do nothing. That was dated 3/14

Have called at least 6 times, and they have no idea…just in review is all I get.

I have almost given up on getting my return this year….lol

[Michael]

@Rolanda: Take a seat and wait. I filed and accepted 2/9/2018. You can always go online to the IRS site and check your IRS transcripts, and the WMR page. Most likely, your processing date assigned by the IRS is sometime later March. You are supposed to allow 45 days from that date for your refund. However, it may process sooner

[Nova]

I filed 2/1
Got accepted 2/1

Your tax return is still processing and refund date will be provided when available? Called TA today now their saying I’m missing a W’2 any body going thru this or got their issue resolved? hELP

[Gary]

Still nothing here. I have to get braces for my daughter as well. was going to use taxes to get them… I hate this

[Pastfedup]

UPDATE!!!!

Got a DDD OF 3/26!!!! Good luck to all and I advise get an advocate.

[Ralonda]

As of 3/22/2018 my refund is still not available I filed on 2/24/2018 is anybody going through the same thing

[Paul]

A doted Feb 16th. Still says Brin gorocessed. No other codes. Transcripts show cycle date of 20181105. Which passed last week I believe. Still no update.

[Heather]

Ok so we filed on 3-6 and same day it was accepted. We chose direct deposit for state and federal. We got our state refund a few days ago but it was MAILED to us?.?.? I’m worried because I don’t know if that’s going to happen to federal one too? There has been no change on wmr site since 3-6 and we haven’t got any letters or communication from the IRS. I noticed alot saying they had to verify their Identity, but how did they figure that out? I also confused why the state one was mailed to me and not direct deposited. Any suggestions, just wait patiently or as patiently as I can or call them but if so what number?

[NoaTay3]

I actually spoke to a “helpful” IRS agent yesterday. He told me they are extremely behind. Even though I filed via TurboTax on Jan 25 & was accepted on the same day, my review didn’t start until March 5!!! So basically I should receive my return within 45 days of that date (April 15). He also said WMR should be updated with a DDD in 2 weeks. We’ll see…

I filed on January 30 and everything was approved. I received my fed but not my NJ state.

[Rachel]

@Latrice that is awesome. Keep us posted!

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel just spoke to my TA, she said that she sent it to be expedited today it may take a couple weeks, but it may be sooner.

[Blanca]

I filed my tax return Feb 9th and the wMr says “Your tax return is still being processed.” How can I know if something is wrong or If I have to do any additioanl action?

[Hunned]

Got notice CP74 on March 5th for filing form 8862 stating I was good. says it’ll be within 6 weeks now for my refund. I filed February 9th, still waiting. Anyone else

[Hunned]

Got notice CP74 on March 5th for filing form 8862 stating I was good. says it’ll be within 6 weeks now for my refund. I filed February 9th, still waiting. Anyone else in this situation?

[kdshel]

I have a 570 with processing date 4-2-18 and just today a 970 with a date of 4-2-18. I called the IRS yesterday and said it was a 45 day review from Feb 22nd but I would not get a letter the agent actually checked to make sure. He said it should come in by April 2 or sooner. Please help is he right

[KICon]

I filed my taxes 2/10 it was accepted right away. I mailed a letter from the IRS the beginning of March, roughly around the 10th stating I need to provide my 1095-A and another form- Prove my Health Insurance. I don’t even have insurance through the marketplace but through my Job. So I had to show proof of my 1095-B and write a letter explaining. That was sent to me last week. I called the IRS and have not been able to connect with any rep. Has anyone received a similar letter ?

This is only my third year filling my taxes. I just don’t understand the delay.

[john]

so monday i had to call and verify my identity, i think it was the 4464c letter. they asked me some questions and the guy was actually really cool on the phone. he said this year they are holding a ridiculous amount of returns for identity verification (he seemed really annoyed by it, basically he trashed the system he works for) and the process took about 5 minutes. he said he inputed the code to free my return to be able to get processed. hopefully i see a change sometime soon.

has anybody else had to verify identity/how long until some sort of change was seen on either WMR or your transcript?

[Blah]

Well 4464C Letter Is A Letter To Say Hey Wait Cause There Is An Issue Nothing To Worry About Maybe It IS Cause Your Job Has Not Forward Your Earnings In To The IRS And The IRS Are Waiting On Your Earnings From Your Job To Be Posted So they Can Verify You Made What You Reported It Is What Happened To Me So What I Had To Do Is Get My Last 3 Paystubs And Fax Them In Hopefully Now It Is In The Hands Of The Right Department They Will Now Process My Return With No Issues I Filed 4 W2 And They Only Had 3 On File That Was Reported From My Jobs When Calling The IRS Do Not Ask The Questions Where Is My Refund Instead Ask Them Do The IRS Has My Earnings From My Job….Hope That Helps

[Rachel]

That meant to read “unfortunately nobody here can help you” The IRS sucks balls this year.

[Prettyladyte]

@Chris I received a CP05 3/12 i was told I was done processing 3/5 same day I got 570 on my transcripts. I spoke with a rep yesterday on 3/19 & was told haven’t changed anything but to wait the 45 day timeframe from the letter date

[Michael]

Well, after speaking with the IRS rep yesterday and her saying that she had no record of a letter going out, I received a 4464c letter dated March 15th. LoL!

Since they didn’t request anything in the letter it’s just back to the waiting game. So, are these just generic letters? If something was under review, why don’t they just ask what exactly they need?

[Rachel]

@Marquis – unfortunately no. No one here knows whats going on with our own returns. lol

[Marquis Marsh]

I filed and accepted 3/2/18. No bars on WMR and states your refund is still processing and deposit will be given when available. On the side my refund amount is there. Dont know whats going on.

[Fed up]

@Rachel thanks for the picture of the bright side lol. I ended up not having to amend because my numbers were off by a few hundreds. My TA sent a request to have them released. Will update if I get them

[Chris]

Did any of you received a CP05 and then receive a refund? I called IRS and they stated CP05 was sent on Feb 22nd which it was, and to keep waiting for further action. Just wondering if there’s any of you who had aCP05 and then received a deposit or have a DDD?

[Gary]

I’m in the same boat as everyone on here. filed and accepted on 1/29 I received my letter stating I was under review no need to do anything. I ordered my transcripts, but there is no code on them. Still waiting. Was told Fri 3/16 that a tax advocate should be getting back to me within 5 days. Still nothing . About to have my Elec turned off because of an insane winter we had here. My WMR is setting with the TT 152 and your Tax return is still in progress. Of all the yrs I have filed, I have never had anything like this happen. This is nuts.

[Stillwaiting]

I just talked to someone who basically said “I’m going to be honest with you, we don’t know.. could be tomorrow, next week, or on the last day of your 45 or 60 days from the date on the letter. Everyone is just guessing, but I’m telling you we don’t know.”

Thanks for the honesty, finally. Still sucks.

[Rachel]

On the bright side everyone….everyone else’s tax refunds will probably have been spent and we will just be getting ours!

[EarlyFilerNY]

@ShallowWaters

Thank you so much for answering my question. So wow!! That means they won’t even touch my return until April 14th huh? So I have to give 21 days from April 14th to except my return? What do you think?

[Rachel]

@Latrice – the first I heard from her was last friday. I faxed her my amended return and she said she would hopefully be able to get moving on it monday (yesterday). She warned me it could take up to a month. At this point I have waited so long already its a joke. Whats another month..

[Latrice Jackson]

@Rachel have you heard anything from your advocate about your return? So after you amend will you get a paper check or will it still be direct deposit?

[Brooke]

FINALLY! I filed 2/2.

Had the whole thing with the bars coming then disappearing around 2/17.
Kept saying being processed.
A few weeks later got the letter saying I was under review.
Been waiting over 3 weeks since then.
Never called or anything because people seemed to keep saying it was a waste of time anyway. Decided to just be frustratingly patient.
Finally woke up this morning to the bars saying my refund was being approved and DDD set for 3/21.
I have been so frustrated, but just wanted to let you guys know that there is hope I know how maddening this can be. Good luck.

[Prettyladyte]

No update for me still waiting

[kelly Gaskins]

filed self employed on 1-24. its been saying still processing since then.finally called said i would receive letter within 14 days.that i needed to id verify..i havent received Ny letter..guess ill call back tomorrow.anyone else self employed having this problem?

[Xxtina]

So I called the irs. Guess theres finally been some movements. I was told that the identity department has my refund and they have til April 12th to release it. I dunno why its in that department. I used my last pay stub to do my taxes and it was over 3k than what his w2 is. Basically i overreported but im entitle to 500 more back. So i thought that was the hold up. I did recieve a 4464c letter dated Feb 26. And my transcript has a processing date 2/26 570 code with the date 3/5. I hope next week I get a DDD!

Called IRS 03/10, said a letter was mailed informing I was under review and to wait 45 days. (April 1)

[ShallowWaters]

@Ashley What the crap is going on? This is insane, it really is. I’m still stuck in the black hole of refund hell and there is no light in sight but then again, there never is in a blackhole.

I am so far past the 21 days it is not even funny at this point…

[ShallowWaters]

@EarlyFilerNY

It means they will not even get to your return until that date….. I’m in the same boat…welcome to the black hole of refund hell.

[Mica87]

Can i call irs a second time to try and verify my identity since I didn’t pass questions the first time?

[JAY- I WANT MY MONEY now!!!]

Called the IRS today.. I was told they have until April 20th to release my hold.. could be released sooner just playing the waiting game.. was told to called my TA cause they can go into detail more.. still awaiting her call back fingers crossed got bills trying to catch up on.. and trying to move! Everything is at a standstill!
I hope we all get our money soon!!
I’m very pissed with the IRS right now. Straight bullshit!!

[TiredOfWaiting]

@ Rachel same here I call the advocate then the irs to see if I can get a clue. When one 45 day review was almost up they started another one. I have never waited till April for a refund. I filed with my last check stub last year and had a bunch of other stuff too cause I got laid off at one point but I got my money back on 2/23. They IRS is really on some b.s. this year and like you say no one is holding them accountable. I have about 4 more weeks to April 26th although I’m praying I will get it back before my daughter prom and before her tuition is due. I left a message for my advocate so hopefully she will have some news tomorrow.

[Rachel]

@tiredofwaiting I also have not receive one piece of correspondence from the IRS. Only reason I have gotten any information is because I have called a dozen times trying to figure out WTH is going on. I don’t understand how they can do that? Put you in a 45 day review but not notify you? When they say over and over that “most refunds are issued within 21 days”. Its BS and there is no one to hold them accountable.

[Wheresmymoney]

Filed on 2/15/18 and it still reading proceeded called on 3/14/18 and spoke to a rep she said that I have to wait two weeks and if I didn’t get in two weeks to call back its been over a month and I’m still wsiting didn’t calm any kids or a nyhing i want my money chevkef to say and it still reading processing I wsnt my money

[Clynn313]

Its passed 60 days and irs keep saying I’m on a 45 day review. I have not received anything but state taxes and I’m having a hard time getting any answers I have now been on hold for 1 hour 20 mins for tax advocate because they said I need special handling. Nothing is differt. I don’t get it. Where is my refund. Irs does not want anything from me… Can’t get answers to when I can even expect it. I filed 1/29 any advice guys?

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel
I’m due an extra $950. If they not gone release it without me amending it they need to send a letter to say that. Not make me be in limbo. Then these advocates all need to be on the same page as well all this various answers are stupid. I work for the government and this is a pet peeve of mine. If we all got the same training and the rules/laws have not changed we should be giving the same answer across the board when the situations are identical. I just talked the IRS and basically they are still saying it’s on hold and I should have it by April 26. She said she is not even sure if the advocate can get it released since most of my refund is credits. That they don’t need anything from me and they aren’t sending me any letters just wait. I have carried my kids since they were born they can go back 17yrs to when my oldest was born and see. And I have been at my job since 2016. I am beyond frustrated.

[Rachel]

I figure I’m going to be amending anyways even if they were going to release my original returns refund now. I am due an additional $800. I guess since I have waited this long, I would rather just amend now and get it right in their system so I can get this dang refund back.

[Rachel]

@tireofwaiting, I would definitely do that. I have had more than one person with IRS now tell me they will not release the hold. The TA I spoke with sounded pretty knowledgeable about it and sure that my funds would not be released until I amend.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel
@Lattice
I’m calling my advocate back tomorrow because we all did the same thing and y’all were both told to amend your return. I have been waiting to long already and would rather not wait till the 30th and be told that I need to amend my return when that could have already been in process.

[Stillwaiting]

Still waiting. Day 50 tomorrow. 4464c letter last month. No news since.

[EarlyFilerNY]

What does it mean I will “start processing on April 14th”? Please help.

[Rachel]

@Latrice your situation sounds exactly like mine.

[Latrice Jackson]

Been waiting on a TA to contact me finally got a case # and spoke to a very nice TA today who gave me all her info, so last week I knew I needed to amend due to using my last pay stub and things were off by 2000, so the person last week said no don’t amend it will confuse them I filled out the 911 form someone called me today and said that isn’t true I’m faxing my amended return over to her now and she said she can get things expedited so don’t wait if you feel something isn’t right mostly likely it’s not take a chance call an advocate.

[Rachel]

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f911.pdf

There is a link to locate your local TA office and if you click on your state a fax number should come up.

[Rachel]

@nesza0215 I believe you do have to be suffering a hardship to get your case going. I actually had a late/disconnect notice from a month ago for my water that I faxed with everything. If you go on IRS website there is a 911 form you can fill out. I sent that in along with my amended return, W2 and late notice. Someone called me back about 3-4 days later. My water was not disconnected and she didn’t say anything about it being dated for february. Sounds like some are more particular than others. Even if you just have a late notice for utilities or something like that…I would send it to them.

[Nesza0215]

I was told I can’t get a TA unless I was getting evicted or my lights off so is this what is happening to everyone who has a TA or did I just get someone who didn’t want to help me 😡

[Rachel]

@tiredofwaiting – she told me that there is a tolerance that the IRS will allow in math error and they will still release your refund. According to her I was over that tolerance so I would have to amend and correct it. Apparently if you fall within their tolerance eventually they will release the hold on your refund and you can amend to correct it after. She said they would not release my refund if I did not amend.

[TiredOfWaiting]

@Rachel I wonder why your TA asked you to amend. Mine told me not to and the difference between my W2 and last check stub is like 3000. I’m getting so irritated and confused because it seems as if everyone is getting a different answer from the IRS and the TA’s. My advocate is due to call me back on the 30th so I will see what happens between now and then.

[EarlyFilerNY]

Could someone please help explain?

Filed: 1/24
Accepted: 1/24
WMR Bars Disappeared: 1/30
Message: Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.
No Letters in the mail from IRS since 1/24.

Today I finally decided to call IRS, and connected with a woman who although was very nice, she couldn’t give me any information besides to say that she sees my refund will start processing on April 14th. No action needed from my side apparently.

What does this even mean? Anybody knows? Please help. Thank you so much.

[Rachel]

@chris Its hard to say. I finally did have someone tell me my wages didn’t match what was reported. But I already knew it was incorrect. If you know your math was correct by looking at your 1040 and comparing to your w2, youre probably fine.

[Smmfh]

Looks like we’re all taking a (L) this tax season.

[Chris]

I keep asking the IRS if there’s anything wrong, or a Math error, they said nothing is wrong and just to wait- should I take their word for it or should I contact a TA?

[Rachel]

@naomi I don’t think that you would need to amend for that amount but I would ask a TA if you could.

[Naomionekanobe]

So, for me my Federal withholding was noted as $562, and it was $62(a typing error). That’s all. Driving me crazy that i’m just waiting.

[Rachel]

The frustrating thing is is filed 1/22 and since then I have been in “review” and never received a letter or any sort of correspondence from the IRS. I would never have known I had to amend my return or it would never get released.

[Rachel]

@naomi I will end up getting $800 more back.

[Rachel]

@naomionekanobe – I filed using my paystub and it was not accurate. I said I made 2400 a year more than what was actually reported on my W2. The TA told me if you have a math error that falls within a certain tolerance then the IRS will issue your refund but mine was above the tolerance. She didn’t tell me how much but she said I was just over it. So I’m guessing maybe they will allow a 2k discrepancy

[Naomionekanobe]

@Rachel

How much of a difference? Mine also needs to be amended $400 I will owe back. Have no idea what to do.

[Rachel]

I finally had a TA call me friday and I faxed her my W2 and amended return and she said it could take up to a month to get my refund now. But at least I know now there is some movement. She basically told me that if I don’t amend it will never get processed because the discrepancy is too great for the IRS to issue my original refund and then I could amend later. Amending now is my only option. But I’ll take 4 more weeks over the 16 weeks it could possibly take if I amended myself and not using a TA. Hopefully she helps me.

[Dave]

Yep. Filed on 2/2. Was accepted the next day. Received state on 2/15. Federal hasn’t came. No updates at all. No letter. Sick of this fucking mess.

[lharrison]

It looks as though we are still all in the waiting game – which I hope soon ends for us! According to several posts, there has been a light at the end of the tunnel and I am trying to think positive!

I am still without bars and the wonderful message of, “your refund is being processed” with no movement since 2/5! Received one 4464c letter, that basically said to wait an additional 60 days, but that was around 3/2/18 – nothing since. Standard HOH, dependents, education credit and same employer for 5 years. I am 47 and this is the first time this has ever happened!

Laurie

[Erica]

Filed 1/24 accepted next day. Received my federal on 2/22, but STILL waiting on state. Have never gotten any letter or never called to talk to anyone, as it seems impossible to get through. Also, it never allows me to check the status on my refund, it always tells me its processing, and no further info available at this time. But, it did still say that, and I ended up receiving my federal. Does anybody think I should be worried, or should I call and get a TA??

@givememydamnmoney, I forgot your situation, did you have to amend your return? Will they still DD your refund if you do? I read on here some where that they will only send paper checks for amended returns.

[Nesza0215]

Thank you!

[Nesza0215]

@michael
So on the transcripts where it says processing date mine said 3/5/2018
And it said return date on the top 4/15/18 so does that mean I’ll receive my return that date for sure?

[Michael]

@Beth: Well, apart from just waiting, this is what you can do. Go to the IRS page and order via mail your account/return transcripts, or set up an online account at the IRS page and you can view them there. If you read through some of the posts here you will soon find out that many of us are in the same boat. That is, we are just waiting. Also, you can call the IRS and get through to a rep. However, they will pretty much tell you the same thing.

My husband and I filed/accepted via TurboTax 2/9/18. Bars went away and still being processed remains. The IRS will assign a processing date (mine is 3/19/2018). You are supposed to allow 45 days from that date to receive your return. However, it may be processed sooner.

[Beth]

My bars disappeared on Friday. I had one. This is the message I am seeing.

“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 refund amount is still to the side where it has always been. Does anyone have any idea what this means? There is no other message.

[Randi]

Mine were accepted 1/29 WMR Updated to “still processing” a week later. I received my letter for ID Verification on 3/01 and verified that day. She told me WMR WOULD update in about a week. Still no updates.. received another letter saying the same thing about id verification on 3/14 called and they told me to disregard the letter.. so fingers crossed it will be soon!

[Elizabeth]

Filed 1/29 Got accepted 2/6 and have been “still processing” ever since. Called and was asked to verify all my children’s info (i guess to make sure I was who I said I was). They guy put me on hold only to come back and say “they are trying to sort your return out.. but there’s nothing more I can tell you except to call back in two weeks if its still not been recieved” and that was it. I ordered my transcripts (still waiting). On the wmr it has all my info and amount, plus 152 topic. So i guess I still kust hurry up and wait like everyone else.

[Janet]

FA 2/6. WMA says still being processed. Transcripts are blank, says no return filed. No letter received. No hope in sight.

[Samy83]

Filed and accepted 1/24, ID verified on 3/2, then called and was told that I am now under a 60 day review. I filed Married Jointly claimed The child credits. No movement in WMR since 2/3 it’s the standard “trill processing” malarchy. At this point I’m just defeated with all of this. It will hit my account someday. But for now I will just keep working and handing the IRS their money on time every week 😡😡

[DeAnn Ballard]

Well, tomorrow will be day 50 since I F/A on 1/29. Got 4464c on 3/1 dated 2/26. WMR hasn’t moved from “Still being Processed” since it flipped to that message on 2/17 like everyone else. I finally received my state last Wednesday.
I’m just so defeated with this whole thing IDK what to do 🤷🏽‍♀️
Just have to keep hoping that one morning when I wake up to check it will have updates to a DDD

but at this rate…i doubt it.

[Whywhywhy]

F/a 1/29 I’d verification 2/26 Still no update still being processed called irs twice last week once the week before same story each time I see nothing else on your account you must wait the nine weeks I requested transfer riots through mail 3/3 received and they were blank I will probably call agian tomarrow .. so disappointed I thought I would of update by now :(

[Nyci]

Hello everyone, please don’t listen to all these post & other ppl’s situation and let it freak you out like I did. Mine said still being processed a date will be given when available for over 2 weeks. So I as well came to all these post and freaked myself out thinking there was a problem, I was being audited etc but that was not the case at all. I’m on day 23 and it just now approved & will be in my bank 2-5 days. I’m self employed, head of house hold with 3 kids and usually every year I get it within a week or 2 but for whatever reason this year took a little longer. So just relax and stay positive. You will get it😊

[LondyBaby]

Filed 2/2 accepted same still and I’m still waiting. Got my transcripts back on the 2/27 and they were blank but when I called somehow even without it even being processed said I would get a letter stating I’m under review. No letters yet no update either called again was told no letter have been mailed out and basically just give them time🙄 so are they just behind or what I need My Money

[Ashley]

@ ShallowWaters No update on wmr and no money!!! This is getting ridiculous!!! Hopefully there will be an update Wednesday, if not I’m calling! It will be pass the 21 days bs.

[Shay]

Filed and accepted 1/29 with TT
One bar and TT 152 until 2/16 bars disappeared
First I was told I am under a 45 day review from 2/15 which would be around April 1st or April 2nd. I received another letter Tuesday 4464C 3/13 staying an additional 60 days for various income reasons however, I checked WMR today and my DDD has been updated 3/21!!!!!!

No more playing the waiting game! It’s finally over. I never got a tax advocate to help. I just stuck it out and kept my patience.

[ShallowWaters]

@artic.turtle

I have been away due to my friend’s mum having chemo,…..any update mate???? This is all getting out of hand; if you would read about the deletion of threads I posted before

[ShallowWaters]

@Ashley Did you get your money yet? I am still in refund hell atm…. I don’t understand anything that is going on.

I have been a member of the TT intuit…. forum on several….and everyone that I have been on have been deleted out of nowhere over the last 4 days due to the exchange of information and honesty….can you say censorship?????

[Prettyladyte]

@artic.turtle ME

[newtocali]

@givememydamnmoney I hope so thank you!

[Ashley]

DOEs wmr update twice today? I haven’t updated yet, I filed on 2/28. I read somewhere it updates 2x on Saturdays.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

@newtocali The 3 day deadline is for communication, I believe, so the IRS is supposed to respond to the TA within 3 days. It sounds like your TA was just unsure if the IRS would release your return yesterday or this upcoming Friday, then. I’m pretty sure that my TA said that the released returns only go back into the system for processing/acceptance on Fridays and refunds are sent out only on Wednesdays. That means IF the IRS released your refund yesterday then you should get a DDD of 3/28, the next Wednesday at the latest I would think.

[newtocali]

@givememydammmoney yes that was the first time I talked to her she said I shouldn’t have to send in anything since the only reason they are holding my refund is because my w2 I used to file from one of my employers is different then what they reported

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

@newtocali Is that the first time you talked to your TA? The 3 day deadline could be depending on what the response is for or could be based on how many cases they have ahead of yours. For me, the 3 days was to respond to her to tell her what they need from me in order to release my refund. Again, I don’t know if that deadline adjusts based on how busy they are or not.

[artic.turtle]

Just letting you know I am still here.
Originally filed and accepted on 01/31 with H and R Block. About 2 days after got processing message online and never received path message, even though I filed for EIC and child care credit. On 2/17 I received the 60 day review letter to do nothing dated for 2/7 and during this time lost bars and went to “still processing” with all info on side and tax topic 152, as it still stands today. However during all this my filed date dis change to 03/1 with H and r Block which is still confusing to me as to how I received a review letter so early if I infact had never been placed into the system. I can’t review tranacripts online but ordered them around the same time I received review letter and of course they were blank. I ordered them again a little less than two weeks ago and finally they were filled in but did have the 570 hold code with the date 3/12 but no code for the letter I had already received the previous month. No more letters reveived no id verify either , and of course still no dd or change on wmr. I would call, but everyone I see call gets so many mixed messages, that I would rather wait it out then get false hope. Plus Im not in a hardship situation, its simply more annoying then anything. Who are some of the original early filers still here with me?

[newtocali]

@givememydamnmoney I talked to my TA yesterday and she said she’ll put in the request yesterday but said the irs has 7-10 days to respond you stayed they told you 3 is it different because the waiting period is different for every state?

[jason]

i have the same message ” Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.” called and received 60 day letter. still no update filed on 1/31 looks like im looking at mid may for my damn money even though i know WMR updates once a day i check 3 times at midnight 3am and 8am just incase i missed the update time since i don’t know when they update the system so……………….

[Veronica]

I was finally able to speak to a TA and my hold up was a w2 that I completely forgot about. All w2’s matched, but because I was missing one of about $300 the irs held up my refund. The TA is submitting a request to release because the amount is minimal so I pray that the irs accepts it. I have been waiting since I filed 1/31 so what’s another two or three weeks.

[H Co.]

At what point is everyone going to learn that filing early is bad news? I’m not being ugly I was stuck in the cycle a few years ago, but I filed on the 5th of march this year w Turbo Tax and already approved w ddd. Not all the issues and the tax advocate stuff could be avoided by not filing early but a big part of it! I haven’t had any trouble since I stopped. Just a tip from someone who has gone through it. I know a few who didn’t file early may be having issues but its such a small amount.

@givememydamnmoney how long did it take after you contacted your TA I faxed my stuff in on the 9th and she called me on Monday the 12. Just trying to get an idea. This year is ridiculous.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

OK guys…here’s some hope for those who have a tax advocate who has told you that the IRS has released your hold on your return! WMR updated for me overnight and it now has TWO BARS!!!! and says this: Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank by March 21, 2018. If your refund is not credited to your account by March 26, 2018, check with your bank to see if it has been received.

Thank GOD my wait is almost over! I’ll let everyone know when the deposit hits!

Filed 2/2 accepted the same day…. Never got a letter until 3/16 a 4464c stating I was under a 60 day review. Now keep in mind I had already called Irs which told me I was under a 45 day review as of 3/12 and I had to just wait. Ordered transcripts and they were confusing so I just gave up and waited. This morning I decided to check wmr and it finally updated with a date of 3/21! Thank God! Right on time! So hang in there… The wait is brutal trust me I know…. But it’s coming! Good luck everyone!

[OveritinAtl]

MKR
I totally agree. It’s ridiculous at this point. I have no more talk time. I filed complaints with the Senators office and out congressional district. I have been told so many different things it’s almost an insult to keep speaking to them. All my TA said I will call you next week or by the 26th they are backed up. I said oh ok, thank you!! And at that moment I decided it was time to fight for what I’m owed. I have enough stress with my Kid and his condition and my own injury to keep this up. My son was almost taken away from me at th3 hands of thieves. I’m hurt to my core. I will fight for all of us who are Pawns in this mix up of new tax reforms. It makes no sense. They keep rearranging dates because technically they owe us interest on our money. I will not be disappointed any longer. It’s time for answers.

[MKR]

Kita,

I too have received my state refund about a month ago. I figure the state would have been more strict than the feds. I filed on Jan 29 and have seen 0 progress. As taxpayers we have the right to be informed and you would think that would be within a respectable time frame. This year it seems like a free for all.

[OveritinAtl]

Hello everyone. I’m Kita. I’ve been following this forum for weeks and never commented so today I decided to chime in. Here is my story. Filed Jan 26 accepted same day. Told I was pulled for review Feb 15th and to wait 45 days. 570 with 4464 c letter recieved after the 5th. Dated for the 5th. I’ve spoke to a slew of people and I have recieved the dumbest of responses. I got a tax advocate in February. I automatically recieve one because I have had one in the past. My TA called today and said they have not made a desicion on my case and she will call me next week or by the 26th. They are backed up. I said ok cool. I called her supervisor and asked questions. It’s unprofessional to say the irs is backed up because clearly we know that. Exactly what is the issue?? Your wages dont match what we have. Oh really?? I’ve been to the ssa office and department of labor and I have wage inquiries which I faxed over with my w2s and 1099. Key note. The IRS does not recieve end of year wages per quarter until mid summer after tax season Is over. This is I verified through SSA. You can also do a wage discrepancy with them. This is not on us but is on the IRS AND THE EMPLOYER. THEY HAVE TO REPORT OF THEY HAVE AN EIN NUMBER. But again think about it?? 🤔🤔 If you filed State and recieved your refund how come your numbers match with them to recieve an approval?? If the numbers are off you would have never recieved your state refund!! Facts!!!!!! Even the Irs rep today said you know More than I do. I’m out of work since December due to an injury on the job and my son was shot in a botched robbery attempt in January which left him disabled. Hardship??? I think so and mounting Doc bills. I’ve proven this over and over. So I decided to not shed a tear and I contacted my Senators and Congressman!!! This is an outrage!! When I owed back tax they could care less if the numbers didn’t match I had to PAY UP!!!!!! TO REMOVE MY TAX LIENS!!!!! All I’m saying I pay attention. If you got that state refund like I did weeks ago those numbers are the same for federal and if they did not match you would never have gotten your state and would be under review!!! This is a bunch is fuckery!!!! I’m over it!!! Talk to the Senate I have no more room in my mental for useless answers.. I’m fighting for us…

[Mike]

@chris

It seems that the reps at the IRS call center are not authorized and/or qualified to comment on specifics about your return. They are just present as worm bodies so we don’t go into a never ending phone tree loop.

[Ravin k Taylor]

I’m going threw the exact same thing you are smh.

[Rachel]

@chris yes it is. This year seems to be particularly nightmarish for people. All you can really do is wait unless you want to try and get ahold of a tax advocate and you have something to send in saying you are having a hardship (i.e. disconnect notice, eviction notice, etc…) They seem to just be taking their own sweet time. I filed January 22 and I’m still in “review”

[Chris]

@Rachel, I did ask she said it was because of my children credit pretty much verifying they are mine but other than that- that was the only reason I was given, I called 1 week ago and was told the same thing. I don’t get it.

[Jenny Youngs]

@chris I’m with Rachel I had a math error and received no letter. I filed back in Jan. All they would tell me is I was j see review. I have a TA on my side now.

[Rachel]

@chris not necessarily. Depends on who you talk to. Most of the IRS people I have spoken with just tell me “Youre under review and wait until your review is up before you call back”. You may have to call back several times. Frustrating I know. DId you ask them what the issue was? Some people are under review and for no reason.

[Chris]

But if it was a math error, she would of told me Yesterday, right?

[Rachel]

@chris – they never sent me a letter or anything but I already knew it was a math error on my end.

[Chris]

I called IRS yesterday- got a very rude lady and all she said is to wait 60 days, If there was an issue with the math, would they have let me know already?

[newtocali]

Ok so I just got off the phone with my local TA and my return is being held because my one of my employers reported different wages then what was on the W2 that I received from them in the mail so now she is working on getting my return released because it isn’t enough of a difference to affect what Im to recieve so here is my timeline so far
Filed return 2/1 accepted same day
Bars disappeared on2/17
Called IRS on 2/27 told Under review
Recieved review letter 3/5 dated 3/1
Called TA recieved referral 3/12
TA called 3/16
I will post again when changes happen

[Rachel]

@Chris – unfortunately no one is going to be able to tell you when you might get it. Its taken me 2 months and speaking to half a dozen different people and then finally contacting a tax advocate to try and get some answers. Unfortunately they don’t give you information so you end up having to be a freaking detective to find out what is going on. Good luck

[Chris]

I’m going crazy, i filed on January, lost bars, have a processing date of 3/05 have a date beside it of 3/12/18, no refund, no date, nothing!im weekly, does anybody has those dates as well? any ideas of what i should do? when should i get my refund?

[Rachel]

@waiting I state that my income was 2,444 over what it actually was.

[Sweetpea]

@rachel
My tax lady put 23 and it was 21 so I pray they just remove it

[Waiting]

Rachel what was your amount you said over 2000 but how much?

[Rachel]

@sweetpea she didn’t tell me exactly but mine is over 2000. I will be getting (hopefully) an additional $800 back.

[Sweetpea]

@rachel
What there tolerance my tax lady 2000more on my account

[Rachel]

@sweetpea you are right! AND I just got a call from an actual advocate (missed her first call this morning). She was SO nice and helpful and she told me that since my discrepancy doesn’t fall within the IRS “tolerance”, that I would need to amend and so I sent her my amended return and she said it may take up to 3-4 weeks. BUT she said she would handle it from here and would keep me updated. She was so nice. I can handle waiting another month as long as I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel after the last two months of being so stressed out and not knowing. FYI – anyone wondering whether they will need to amend or not – Per the tax advocate, if your math error falls within their tolerance they will release your funds and you can amend later. If it does not (like in my case) you will HAVE to amend to get your refund.

[MKR]

I filed with my last pay stub, but it was only $1 off. I filed at the end of January and got 4464c this past Monday. According to the IRS site, you cannot e-file amended returns (paper file only). It also says that it could take 3 weeks to show up in the system and up to 16 weeks to get your refund.

It says that you should refill your original return with corrections rather than amending (if there is math or clerical errors). It also states that minor errors may be corrected by the IRS.

It would be nice if every TA knew the correct rules. That is why I am going to wait it out. If there is a problem, I should receive additional correspondence and direction as of what to do next.

[Sweetpea]

@rachel
Don’t lose hope that the devil I started to lose it this morning and I was once told and I know this for a fact god he supplies all our need he makes a way. Out of no way when you don’t see it, god, already took care of it so I’m done stressing over this any I put it n his hands

[quay719]

Finally got through with a TA intake person with my pin number. She says they will not take any info via fax to prove my 1040 was correct per my W2, I do not qualify for hardship, and they will not process my refund at all unless I send off a 1040X to amend. I have never heard of such a thing. If I am being audited, wouldn’t they eventually send a letter rather than have me lingering in nowhere’s man land..??? I cannot trust what they are telling me right now and I’m not sure what move to make next.
This sucks. I am not lying to these folks (which she seemed to imply). My w2 clearly states 5K less than what the employer reported.
I am going to read around a bit and try and make a decision soon.

[Rachel]

@sweetpea I don’t think I am going to amend until I hear otherwise. I faxed my info to my local TA office on monday and got a call this morning and of course I missed it! Ugh, I am losing hope.

[Sweetpea]

@rachel
Girl I called the irs today n this lady said what your irs people told you about an amendment I’m so uggggggh waiting on my advocate

[Rachel]

@GiveMeMyDamnMoney, so happy for you

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

UPDATE: My Tax Advocate just called to let me know that my account now has a DDD of 3/21.

It has been about 10 days from the time my Tax Advocate first started working on my case and when she called me this morning to tell me that I now have a DDD. I should have my refund within the next 5 days.

The IRS released the hold on my refund last Friday the 9th. My WMR changed the following Monday morning from not having a TT 152 to having one. My DDD or 3/21 showed up to my Tax Advocate today but it has NOT appeared on WMR yet. I can’t view transcripts online so I can’t answer any questions about any potential changes in those.

So…if you are working with a Tax Advocate and the IRS released the hold then you should have your money soon!

[del1230]

Hello,
I’ve been reading this everyday but I decided to post today. I filed on 1/25 and I’ve been on “It’s being processed” status for a month and a half now. I called IRS bc I didn’t receive any letters. They told me the same “nothing you can do, we have to validate your information”. I decided to call the local TA. I didn’t have to wait too much on hold. He has been very nice and explained me I reported more than what the W2 shows. (i filed with my last paystub – big mistake because I have some non-taxable income). He explained me that after the 60 days, if the IRS couldn’t verify my wages, they are going to send me a letter asking for documents or an amended return. He said I have to amend and to send him the amended return. It can take up to 4 weeks. So I am here davating. Not sure if I should go ahead and amend or just wait but I reported $5,000 more on my tax return and he said if I wait, it can take up to three months or more to receive my refund. :(

[Nickie]

I Filed on 2/7 refund was approved and sent to my bank, the irs requested my bank send it back and now I have a code of 1121 and now I’m under review. Haven’t received a letter, whenever I call, they don’t really know what’s going on and states it will take up to 60 more days to get my refund. This has never happened to me before and why are they doing this? It’s our money let it go!!!!!

[Michael]

@whythisyear: If you look the topics here you will see that all you need to do it check the IRS WMR, check your IRS transcript page online, call the IRS for a generic response, and then wait again. Many of us here filed before you (me 2/9), and we are still waiting too.

[Whythisyear]

I was accepted on 2/28/2018 and it had one bar then the bar disappeared and now it says we have received your refund and it is still being processed with the topic code 152 please help me I did file efile wit a direct deposit. Thank you

[Carter05]

We filed our taxes on January 23rd through H&R Block says it was accepted on January 24th. However, few weeks later it disappeared and said still processing and a direct deposit date will update when available with the code 152. Call the IRS and they said we were randomly selected and where 45 days from February 15th which puts us at April 1st. Still has yet to update we called on March 7th to see if there was any update. Was told that it was received received and processed on the 3rd and to keep checking back on Saturdays for an update with the direct deposit . Saturday nothing updated so we called back Monday because we have not got a letter and still says the same. The IRS told us we were done being processed and as long as nothing else came up that Saturday the 17th it should update with a DDD. But I’ve been hearing this every single time when we called. We’ve called H&R Block and talk to our tax prepare she basically told us not to do nothing to wait it out until April 1st and not to worry about filing a hardship that we couldn’t file it until April 1st anyways. I don’t know what to do.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

@StrugglingSC My tax advocate told me that my hold was released last Friday and that I should have my refund no later than the 28th but probably by the 21st. Once released she told me it takes 5 to 7 days to process. She told me that deposits are released on Wednesdays, so the next release date is the 21st.

[Pastfedup]

Like most of you I’ve been stressed but upon reading a lot of responses I see a lot of ppl are mis informed about things. I know everyone case is different but some things are just down right wrong!!! This year the irs is doing everything different!!! That’s why refunds claiming credits didn’t start processing till the end of feb. a lot of ppl are going under review because they returns aren’t right. In the past the irs would process the returns first then taxpayers amend after. They want us to fix it first. My advocate spent 2 hours yesterday explaining the new rules and policies to me. They don’t have to pay us interest until AFTER April 17th which is the deadline to have your taxes in. So it will be 45 to 60 days after the 17th before they have to pay interest. My advice if you filed in Jan same as I and your not moving get an advocate to help you move the process along a lot smoother. I haven’t received 1 letter I knew what was going on because I constantly was calling!!! Never got rude or cursed anyone out. Was told different things EVERYTIME I called as well. I just keep cool and calm and I feel like I got a whole lot further than a lot of other ppl in this forum. I know it’s easier said than done JUST BE PAITENT AND STAY PROFESSIONAL!!!

[StrugglingSC]

I filed January 27 and accepted on the 29th then a week later my bars disappeared. Then I called to check on my return they stated it was under review for 45 days. I then contacted an advocate because I am going through a hardship. She said she put in a request to release it on March 6 and that I needed to get back to her by April 12th I then called the iris and they said they received the request on the 9th and that they had 2 weeks (March 20th)to respond back to her. Well I counted the days from when I filed the return and it’s actually 45 days exactly. I called the iris today and they said my refund was released…Yayyyyy but they don’t have a date yet but keep looking………Anybody have any idea when the refund is released how long does it take to hit the account?????

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

@Nesza0215 No, I don’t have a DDD yet. I only got my TT152 back on WMR on Monday morning. I have a tax advocate who only needed to verify that I had insurance all year and the IRS was supposed to manually release the hold. That’s what they told her on Friday afternoon. I got my tax topic 152 back after that. She told me that once they release the hold it takes 5-7 days to process through the system and approve my direct deposit. She said I should definitely have it no later than the 28th but thinks the 21st is more likely, perhaps even earlier.

I will be updating people on here as soon as I see anything new on WMR or get my refund to give everyone else an idea of what to expect.

[ShallowWaters]

updates anyone???? I’m still stuck where I have been since Jan.

@Ashley….. congrats….

[AnneRL]

@quay719 yeah that doesn’t make any sense. I screwed up on my taxes and filed using a paystub and it was different than my W2. So when I called the IRS, their response was “what you filed is not the same as what was reported” – and I am assuming what was reported was the W2.

[quay719]

@AnneRL

I did too! I am going to call the employer tomorrow. I don’t know if the TA person was fibbing to get me off the phone. I doubled checked my W2 and 1040 just to make sure I didn’t key in the info incorrectly.

I’m starting a new job on Monday. If I don’t make any progress tomorrow, I am done sweating this. I will just let the chips fall where they may. At least we will be a 2-income household again and won’t be so stressed about money.

[AnneRL]

@quay719, I’m confused because I thought what the employer “reports” IS what is on your W2?

[quay719]

I spoke to a TA person today who told me an employer reported 5k more than what was on my W2 and that I will have to amend. Why should I amend if my W2 is showing differently on my end?! I’m not sure if I actually want to open a case (after being on hold then getting disconnected. It wouldn’t make sense to if what I have is what I filed with. This is frustrating.

[Bianca]

@Rachel. The tax advocate stated that the adjustment was for “adjusting the date that I would get my refund”…. I don’t know. Ill know tomorrow if my refund is in my account

[Nesza0215]

Givememydamnmoney
Have you got a ddd yet? I know you got a tax advocate !

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

@AnneRL If they don’t pay us by 45 days after the filing deadline they have to pay interest to us.

[jackie]

I filed wit HR Block on 1-27, got accepted 1/29. Bars went missing a week later and nothing since. Two days ago called tax advocate. They called me back today and said that I was under review but now my funds have been released and I should see a date Friday or Monday. If I don’t see anything by Monday to call back.

Hope things finally start to move for me! Good Luck everyone! I will keep y’all updated.

[MKR]

I think they are giving themselves wiggle room with the 45 and 60 day review timelines. They are hoping they get caught up by then. We will see.

[AnneRL]

Do you all really think they will have a resolution at the end of our reviews, or do you think they will just keep on extending? How long can they actually hold onto someones refund? Don’t they have to start paying interest at some point?

[Susan M.]

Filed my returns on 3/15/18. Today is 4/15/18 and it still says processing and this year I owe THEM money. So not sure why this is taking so long.

[Rachel]

@Bianca, any idea what the adjustment might be for?

[Bianca]

i called this morning and spoke with a tax advocate. i filed on 01/30 and was accepted the same day. my bars went away on 02/15. i have not received a letter or anything about my status or anything but everytime ive called, ive been told that i was on a 45 day review and that i don’t have to do anything. i called this morning and randomly i was told that there has been an adjustment to my account and my funds will be available tomorrow……. i will believe it when i see it bc the irs is alllll over the place.

[Rachel]

@stillwaiting I feel like I just wrote that. Was just going to post that I filed end of January, still in review and I STILL have not gotten ANY sort of letter telling me anything! How can they do this? At least tell me I’m in review. Only reason I know anything is because I keep having to call them. UGH

[stillwaiting]

EVERY TIME , I mean EVERY TIME i call the IRS , i get told something different- I have had the 570 code since the end of FEB. the date on the side on the code is 3/12/2018, and the code is still there.
The first time i called the IRS they told me that i was going to have to wait 45 days from 3/12/2018 ( this was in the first week or march when they told me this lol)
The second time I called the IRS I was told a letter was going out stating that i was under review for the credits that i claimed (which i still havent received)
The third time I called, i was told that my return was processed to the master file- on 2/7/2018 and to wait 45 days from that date- i asked her was a letter going out or anything and if i needed to send anything in, she said no, a letter is not coming out and i do not need to send anything in….

idk wtf is going on this tax season – this is literally THEE longest i ever had to wait- nothing has changed , i file the same way every year…I think they are telling us anything just to buy time

[MKR]

It seems that tax advocates (TA) are the ones directing people to amend before processing is complete. I don’t have enough confidence in them to believe that it is protocol, especially after reading posts like @steph’s.

[Nesza0215]

Shari
Yeah see my brother was told by the irs they will just fix it that’s crazy that she made you amend it I was told amendments take 16 weeks !!!!

[Shari]

Nesza0215 no, she said I HAD to ammend. I said it essentially gives me $5 extra in a refund can’t that just be kept and she advised it could not. So, it’s been a mess and seems like depending on your TA (and how they feel that day) they can bypass if the choose to. It’s ridiculous to amend for a $30 difference.

[Steph]

This whole IRS missing forms and W2s sounds so crazy to me. My fiancé realized a week ago he forgot his unemployment on his return. He got his DDD back in 2/22 no problem but also he didn’t file EIC or ACTC but he did have education credits but there was no delay or problem even with missing and messed up info. And he filed with TT. I know every case is different but sheesh this ridiculous. The news seems to be pushing more for people to keep their money through out the year. Maybe tax refunds are becoming obsolete. They want you to break even or pay more.

[Nesza0215]

Shari
My brother had a 1000 math mistake because he used his last check stub instead of his W2 and he didn’t have to amend and he got a ddd of 3/16 and filed 1/26 so to amend over 30 dollars seems a little crazy ! Your advocate didn’t say the irs will adjust it for you ?

[Shari]

I tried to wait it out but gave in and called a Tax Advocate. I filed via TT 1/29 and bars disappeared shortly after. I’ve had the “your return is still being processed” message for about 4-5 weeks now. TA says I under reported my income by $30 which means I get $5 more back. I’ll have to send the TA my amended return to avoid the additional 16 weeks processing and they will expedite. What a disaster and I spent the first day on the phone for 3 hours and got hung up on. Called back today and finally got someone after about 2 1/2 hours. I seriously suggest checking on your refund if you haven’t moved. The TA said there were lots of W2 errors that came in from Turbo Tax this year and eventually you’ll get a letter. Had I not called I’d have gotten one but that would just prolong my wait.

[Nesza0215]

Lol I got the same email from turbo tax saying since I filed with them and gave them my banking info for my direct deposit that they are taking there money out of my account on 4/6 smh

[Jeannine]

I got a email from turbo tax too .. saying same thing .. unreal .. still nothing has changed

[Spooky]

Still stuck with the generic CP 05 letter. Best part is Turbo Tax said me payment to them is due today! And since either my taxes are being processed for less then I claimed, or just not processed yet, they still need their money regardless. What a Damn Complete Joke this whole Tax season has become! Thanks Again Congress! I’m sure your not waiting on you returns though!

[KaitlynM]

570 code** frustrated fail haha

[KaitlynM]

I filed 1/26. Accepted 1/29. Changed over to still processing on 2/16 with the 560 code and received a 4464c letter dated 2/28. I finally contacted a tax advocate today and was advised that they had no reported income from my employment. I immediately faxed my advocate my last paystub per her request and she immediately forwarded same to the IRS and expedited such due to a hardship. Does anyone have any idea how long before I have a ddd?

[Pastfedup]

Update !!!

Tax payer advocate called me today very nice and paitent. Told me I was missing some w2s from little jobs I had worked. Faxed them over to her she responded very promptly. Told me it should take about 3 weeks for irs to process!!!

GET AN ADVOCATE!!! Keeping fingers crossed

[Rachel]

@sweetpea, thats so frustrating because I have had 3 different people tell me they won’t fix it. Ugh

[Sweetpea]

@rachel
I have a math error 2 n I just talk to irs agent n she said they do tix math errors she was very nice n she said it the system, everybody calling with attitude they didn’t do it she said I got the letter to n I got until April 12

[MKR]

I think what we all are needing/wanting is consistency from the IRS. This is not very good PR for government agencies.

[Nesza0215]

@Rachel
Yeah I don’t know because I had to call for my brother who he filed with his last check stub instead of waiting for the w2 and I guess it was like 1000 off and so the irs and a tax advocate both said the irs fixes the math issues and if when you get your refund you feel like you should have got more then you can amend it for the remaining amount!
I have to children and filed in January and have nothing wrong with mine and I’m still waiting but my brother who had the match errors got a ddd date of 3/16 so I mean I feel like some of them tell you anything to get you off the phone and it’s messed up because we wait for this and every check they take a huge chunk out of my check and I don’t make them wait!!!!

[Nesza0215]

@MKR
Yes! We can only wait and hope I can’t even get mad anymore because it’s not changing anything !

[Rachel]

@Nesza0215 I have had IRS people tell me that they absolutely will NOT fix a math error and if your return doesn’t match what was reported by employer then they will not process it. THREE different people told me that. I have had a few tell me that I need to amend it or it will just sit in review forever. Do they not get any training when they get hired? I feel like a monkey would do a better job than half of the jackasses I have talked to there.

[AnneRL]

I filed in January. They didn’t even start processing my return until end of February and still under review until April. No once at the IRS can tell me anything other than its just in review and to wait until April 13th to call back.

[Rachel]

@Rob all kinds of different issues with filers. Mine was a math error when filing but some people had no errors at all and still being held up. And not just EIC filers. It seems there is no rhyme or reason to everyone being in “review”.

[MKR]

@Nesza

I filed TurboTax 1/30, received 4464c letter this week, called IRS call center twice and am just waiting. Hopefully will see $ by end of March.

[Nesza0215]

@MKR
Yeah I heard if there was any math errors the irs will just fix it people are amending it and amending it would take them 16 extra weeks from what the irs website says! So I would hope people do there re search before just amending it! I’m just still sitting here waiting for my refund since 1/23 from what I’m told another 2 weeks and I should get mine Fingers crossed

[Rob]

@AnneRL. Didn’t know you were the designated igotmyrefund forum police, LOL!! I had posted to this topic before and was just giving an update. I was also wondering if/what was in common with folks who had not got their refund in a timely manner.

[Maurice Joseph]

@andy r thanks for the insight . Gave me a lil hope.

[AnneRL]

@Rob THOUSANDS of early filers are having issues, thats why we are on here. Unless you have a similar nightmare experience with the IRS like most of us here, we really don’t need to hear how quickly you got your refund. Happy for you but this isn’t the place!

[MKR]

For those of us that have received the 4464c, it sounds like refunds should be coming within 2 weeks upon receipt of this letter. Obviously, the IRS is behind in processing returns given the overwhelming task at hand (PATH). However, the folks at the call center keep giving us vague and/or misleading information. It is kind of hard not to take this information with a grain of salt. As far as amending returns before they are processed, is this a new protocol? In years past, the IRS fixed mistakes and issued the refund. I am leery of tax advocate (TA) advice since I have read that some of them have allegedly helped, but others were rude or were not effective. Some releases of refunds after contact with TA seem coincidental especially when it takes 2 weeks or so. Just some observations.

[Rob]

WMR updated with a DDD date of 3/16/18 this morning. I filed on 3/2 so not too bad. I really don’t understand why so many are having difficulties. I think it’s when you have EIC or Child credits. I have a Schedule 2 and saw no issues. For those of you with the credits. Are you looking to get back more than you actually paid in taxes? If you are in that category I can see why the IRS is scrutinizing those returns. Good luck everyone!!

[Jenny Youngs]

@Jay I also did the same thing. I had to admend my taxes and faxed them to my TA, she called me on Monday (03/1202018) said she had recieved everything g and it matched up so it was being sent in which is a 2 step process. She said to give it 3 weeks and she would check back in with me. I hope it doesn’t take that long. It would have been nice to known back in Feb I would have already had my money. Gotta love the IRS. NOT!

[JAY- I WANT MY MONEY now!!!]

Filed 1/29
Bars went away 2/15
Called IRS that next week said I’m under 45 day review to letter was sent out I just need to wait..

Hello guys,

For those who are under view for 60 days. Do not worry, U will get your DDD soon. Below is my timeline:
1/29 – E-filled and got accepted same day with one Bar. ( We’ve received your tax and being processed)
2/18 – Bar disappeared with message on WMR (Your tax is still being processed. A refund date will provided when available).
2/19 Monday- Called IRS and got told that my tax got selected for further review for 45 days from 2/15, and they told me that I will received the correspondence from IRS in the mail soon.
3/2- Received 4464c Letter and saying that my tax is still under review and it could take up 60days from date of the letter (2/28). and I dont have to do anything at this time.
Since I received that letter I called IRS and checked WMR most everyday and got same message (Your tax is still being processed….)
3/13. Checked on WMR and I got message that My refund is scheduled to my bank by 3/16. THANKS GOD! After almost 2 months waiting.
So whoever are under review, if u guys received letter 4464c. NO WORRIES! u will get ur DDD soon! good luck to all! god bless u!

[Shelley]

Filed and accepted1/29. Eic and ctc ,w2’s and self employed. Still just sitting there. Got a ta that put in a request to release and to call her April 6th. No letters,no requests for anything.transcripts don’t tell me anything. Please……pee or get off the potty. I’m just sitting there. This is maddening

[James]

made a typo, we filled on the 13th not the 23rd, I think the lady I talked to was being honest, instead of giving me an excuse, they are behind,

[James]

My daughter and I both filed on the 23rd of Feb, and were accepted the same day, She has a very simple return and is expecting a small refund just over $100. I have the EIC and child credit on mine. We both lost bars on the 2nd of March but our refund amount has stayed, we just have the 152 msg. Called today and once I got through to a person, they told me that they are just behind and that they try to get everyone in 21 days but there is no guarantee, was told to call back in two weeks.

[Still looking for dd]

I rec’d my transcript and it has the 570 hold and processing date as of 03/18/2018. and I am weekly anybody else with the same thing. I was also told by rep about the 45 day review and to call back after April 1st if i don’t rec a letter or my funds.

[Nesza0215]

@still waiting
I got a 4464c letter feb7th staying I’m under review nothing for me to do but wait then I called and was told I’m under a 45 day review but never got a letter for the 45 but basically the lady told me there making people wait this year who claim children to make sure you are really claiming your own child ! I have two children who I know are mine so it’s a waiting game this year

[stillwaiting]

@Nesza0215 did you receive any letters?

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

I just spoke to my Tax Advocate and learned some new information. There was a problem with my Schedule C form importing, but the errors department was able to fix it.

The hold on my refund was released on Friday. When I checked WMR this morning I got my tax topic 152 back, so if you got your tax topic back that is a good sign and may mean your return is no longer on hold.

I was told that I should have my return by the 28th at the latest but that the 21st is more likely. There is a slight chance it could be deposited tomorrow, but she thinks that may be too soon. I really hope it comes tomorrow because my landlord will start eviction proceedings in two days.

Crossing my fingers. I’ll post to let everyone know about any changes to WMR and when I get my deposit to give others an idea of what they can expect.

[Nesza0215]

@Stillwaiting
I have the same and now I’m just guessing that our money will be to us by 4-15-2018

[stillwaiting]

im totally confused- i had code 570 for 3 weeks now – with the date 3/12/2018-beside it. the date on the other codes are 4/15/2018… what is the difference? I called the IRS yesterday they said because i have the child tax credit mines is under additional review and was told to wait- 45 days from 2/7/2018–I claim the same child and same credit- should i get a tax advocate?

[MKR]

Received 4464c yesterday. At least that is something. Going to wait at least until 3/19.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

My WMR changed over the last couple of hours…I still have the same message and no DDD but for the first time in over 3 weeks I have tax topic 152 back.

[Fed up]

@Mkr as you can see everybody is getting told different. I’m waiting and repeating what I was told.

[Shay]

What does letter 4464C mean? I received mine in the mail today saying my refund will be sent once review is completed

But what does the letter really mean in general?

[Tiredofwaiting]

Finally got assigned a TA and she asked me if i filed with my last check stub and i confirmed i did. She stated that she was sending the request to release to the IRS since i am due more money than what they are holding. Said she would call me in 2 weeks to let me know when to send in my amendment. I really pray they release it and i can see an update this weekend.

[Nesza0215]

Has anyone who got the transcripts where it says the amount of your refund does it normally have a – sign ? Like -8756
Then where it has like credits one is like -3657
-1564
-3808 ?
This is the first time I’ve requested transcripts so I’m just trying to see if it’s normal

[MoneyTalks]

@shari the same thing happened to me today. after the advocate was searching for me a pin the line hung up, Good thing the guy wrote notes to my account. So I called back about in hour later explaining to the new advocate what happened and he saw the notes on my account and provided me with a pin and then transferred me I waited on hold for 2 hrs 30mins and CLICK!!! phone hung up….I was Like WTF sitting here in disbelief and began feeling weak. it was like sitting on hold took all my energy. I don’t think I could go thru it again.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

@sweetpea if you claimed EITC and live in a place impacted by a hurricane, flood or wildfire and you made less money this year than you did last year then you are allowed to use your income from last year to figure out your Earned Income Tax Credit this year. If that is what your tax preparer did then it wasn’t a mistake. My tax advocate was NOT familiar with this special was to determine the EITC amount, so yours may not be either. I believe it’s explained in Tax Publication 976 on pages 14 and 15.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

Shari, call one of the local TA phone numbers and not that God awful main line or transfer with pin.

You can find local numbers on the bottom left part of the Tax Advocate web page.

[Shari]

Broke down and called a Tax Advocate line. After about an hour hold Answered several questions and then was told I qualify to open a case and be transferred to the actual TA line. Waited on hold there for 3 hours and then was hung up on. The PIN you get to be transferred is only good for one day and there is no direct line to a TA. I have to call the main line again get verified, get a new pin and get transferred again. However, they close at 4:30 so I’m sure that is why they hung up on me. Now, I have to wait and try again tomorrow! Ugh, what a disaster

[Sweetpea]

@khia
My tax lady add an extra 2000 a math error got a letter n a tax advocate how long u think they going to release it

[Spooky]

@RachelI just got the CP05 letter stating we’re under the generic review, a mere 2 weeks after I first called the IRS. Tells me to do nothing and they have until April 28th. to either issue a check (asked doe direct deposit) or to contact me again. This is Sooooo next up!

[Rachel]

@khia I don’t understand why I haven’t even gotten a letter saying I’m under review.

[Khia]

@Rachel The first letter stated they needed to verify my income and etc. and wait 60 days. I ordered my tax transcript and it said my math was wrong but when I got my refund it wasn’t any different from what Turbo Tax calculated.

[Whywhywhy]

F/a 1/29
Verified identity 2/26
Wmr still being processed
Recieved transcript today through mail blank it says they were processed 3/3

Can I please get an update uhhh

[Rachel]

@khia do you know what the hold up was?

[Khia]

Btw I didn’t call a TA. I just waited. It’s coming.

[Khia]

Filed: 2/2/2018
Bars disappeared on 2/15/2018
Received letter on :2/27/2018
direct deposit on: 03/10/2018

[Rachel]

Whats also odd is I filed via H&R Block online on 1/22/18. I look on my account there today and the file date changed to 3/9/18. Whats that all about?

[Xxtina]

@rachel yeah just wait. Thats what they told me. My transcript says they barely started processing 2/26. So maybe I might get a update this week.

[Rachel]

The lady I talked to yesterday told me they will NOT release my funds because my return is not accurate but the lady I talked to this morning said that is NOT true. Who knows what to believe anymore.

[Rachel]

@xxtina – I am due an additiional $800. I don’t understand why it has to take so long. THey have my correct reported wages so why can’t they just release my funds already and I’ll fix later. Ugh

[Xxtina]

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/ten-facts-on-filing-an-amended-tax-return

I have a cousin who works for the irs for more than 10 years. She said it will just take longer for them to verify and correct it. I was off my 1000 on my gross. Im entitled to 500 more. So basically im just waiting for them to just release my funds first than i will amend.

[Rachel]

@youngsfamily – none of the TA’s I have spoken with will help me expedite things. I called again this morning and she told me that my return has been “processed” but just that there was a freeze on the funds until they finished their review process. THIS was a different answer than what I got last friday! UGH. She told me just to wait and see what action the IRS takes because I run the risk of holding it up longer if I file an amendment. I swear this has been the biggest nightmare.

[Jenny Youngs]

I finally broke down and called a TA on Friday. I was told the same thing @Rachel they will not process if it is off. She had me go ahead and amend our taxes and fax it it. She did not ask if I had a hardship and I’m only guessing because I have waited so long and have gotten no where with the IRS it was always a different answer each time I called. My TA called back today and has submitted everything which will be a 2 step process(identity and then processing) but all of the numbers are correct so hopefully we will get our return sometime in the near future. She set up a call back for 3 weeks but said if she had any update prior to that she would call. Has anyone used a TA and already gotten their refund? Just wondering how long it takes. My suggestion to anyone who has waited the 21 days and still says being processed is to get a TA. I looked up online to find a local on (she’s 2 hours away) but that’s what you get when you live in Po dunk USA. 😊

[Spooky]

I called both the IRS and a tax advocate today. We filled 1/25 and accepted on 1/29 with TT (who are worthless for help). Both Path credits and an education credit too. Stuck at topic 152 for weeks. Last Monday when I called, verified info, typical 5 minutes on hold, was told I had the C letter mailed to me the week before. Nothing. Called today, same thing, verify myself, placed on hold, then to,d a review letter was mailed today on 3/12! How can that be as I was told prior it was mailed 2 weeks ago? Told by th e agent there’s nothing I can do. My employer also included several thousands of dollars in reimbursed expenses incorrectly as Gross Income. Agent said to let the taxes complete, hopefully by April the 19th., and then file an amended return. Now to the advocate, told me that the Path reviews are holding everyone up, and the additional education credit will but me back to May now as the IRS is audited e etyone with those 3 credits. Told I have to wait until the refund to amend my taxes and just to sit and wait. Stated the IRS is severally short staffed and she expects next year to be even worse then this year. Sigh….. this is just Sooooo wrong on many levels it’s punishing those who need it the most! Thanks Congress! Rant off

[Rachel]

@MKR – there is a “tolerance” that you can fall into and they will still issue your refund. In my case I was off by several thousand dollars. I have been told something different by every IRS customer service agent I have spoken with, basically. Finally last friday I was told by an advocate that because my wages don’t match what I filed, the IRS will not process my refund. TWO different people told me this. I was under the assumption that they would process the original refund I calculated and I could amend after the fact. I will actually end up getting an additional refund.. but They told me friday this is not the case.

[Kelcf]

Yea I agree. Pretty sure your not supposed to amend until your return has been fully processed.

[MKR]

@fedup

@rachel

How is it known for sure that one has to amend? In years past, if my reported income was incorrect, the IRS made the adjustment and I still received my refund. There are way too many rumors circulating here. Unless you are an IRS agent, I don’t know how you can be so adamant about giving someone advice to amend. Not bucking, just saying …

[Jessica]

I filed my taxes on 1/22. They were accepted according to TT on 1/29. i received my state back the 1st week in Feb. I have not received my federal as of yet. I checked my transcripts today and the acceptance date on them states 2/26. That’s a whole month after TT states they were accepted. My cycle is 20180605 and I still have a 570 code on my transcripts with a 3/12 date beside it. I received a 4463c letter issued on 3/2 stating not to do anything but wait. I called on Friday and the irs rep told me the same thing. They are processing and it’s happened to a lot of people…I just have to wait. I did claim EIC and the child credit, so I know they weren’t processing those until after 2/15. This has been a month almost since then and I still do not have any updates.

[Rachel]

@fedup did you amend yet?

[Rachel]

@Fedup but why did my date finally change on their website? Does that mean anything?

[Fed up]

@rachel same thing with me. Yes you will have to amend them

[Rachel]

So I am stuck in review because my reported wages didn’t match what I filed (filed off my end of year paystub) I filed with H&R Bock online jan 13 and was accepted early on 1/22. My H&R block finally date had not changed at all until I checked this morning and it had a date of March 3rd. What the hell does that even mean? Does it give me a glimmer of hope or does it have nothing to do with the IRS processing? I am under the impression now that I am going to have to amend or mine is never going to get processed.

[Thomas]

Spoke with irs Friday March 12th I was told the last day they are processing mine so I’m still waiting will check tomorrow I guess

[Dgirl]

Tell them u Java a disconnect.
I had to let my electric go past to get a letter just to get help. And everyone I talk to at IRS and advocate says they see nothing. Wrong. So wanting on advocate to get it realised. Said I will receive my money in a week

[Rob]

@Dgirl. How do you get an advocate?

[Dgirl]

Talked to advocate anyone under review with 3/5 date. The IRS put another review for an additional 60 days. They have changed the days 3 times first 2/15 then 2/22. Now 3/5. Get an advocate it will help. The IRS is so behind that’s why they keep changing the days.I filed 1/29

[RLZ]

I filed an was accepted on 1/31/18.

My status changed to no bars on 2/17/18 with the usual, “your refund is still processing, a refund date will be provided to you when available”
The 152 code has been there every day.
My refund amount has been there every day.

I have checked my transcripts, and I have the 570 code with the date of 3/12/18 next to it.
My cycle code is 20180805

I know that I am a weekly updater…but I still have been checking every day in case of an anomaly.

I have called 3 times to IRS, and all three times they have told me absolutely nothing.
No idea if a letter has been sent to me….
No ides if there will be one…
Nothing that they can see is wrong with my return.

Just that it is under review.

I do not qualify for a tax advocate to assist, because I have not been given notices yet of eviction or turning off my utilities. So they will not help me.

I am in total limbo like many of you. And yes the frustration has hit peak levels.

And of course, all the lines to IRS are tied up today with calls.

I am hoping that if anyone gets any answers that are similar to my situation, please post here and let me know what they may or may not be doing to help resolve.

Thank you

[Nesza0215]

46 days since I filed and still no ddd!!! I’m so annoyed this is ridiculous !!!!

[Inaprocessingblackhole]

For those of you who got a tax advocate to help you. What did you do? I’ve contacted then twice and all they do is transfer me to the IRS. My return was accepted on 1/26 and her I am with no update…still processing blah blah blah.

[Michael Bliss]

..,no letters from IRS, even thought first rep said one was sent, but 2nd IRS rep I spoke w/ last week said no letter was sent. It’s all so bizarre. Moreover, totally unacceptable!

[Michael Bliss]

Day 31 waiting. Filed and received 2/09/2108. 570 code w/ 3/19/2018 processing date since late Feb.

[Prettyladyte]

No update for me :(

[JfromI]

processing date was 03//05/2018
20180705 cycle

[JfromI]

Filled end of January, been patiently waiting. I knew I was going to wait since I had EIC, finally checked my transcripts last week and seen TC 570 Additional Account Action Pending.
Sunday my transcripts updated, TC 571 Additional Account Action Resolved… So when do I get the 846??? In the middle of buying a house, and need it for closing costs!!

[Ned]

If I got approved on the 9th when will I get a dd?

[Rio b]

@theAlchmist

I’ve always updated on a Sunday for past 7 years ..never Saturday or Wednesday .. In fact I was so confused at first. This yr I found out ppl update Saturday ..lol

[Whywhywhy]

This is crazy @b_nacworth

[B_NAcworth]

Not quite a@whywhywhy.

F/A: 1/25, still nothing for me. :-/

[Whywhywhy]

F/A 1/29
Verified identity 2/26
No update still
I keep reading about everyone getting a dd ..but not me :( ****

[Ashley]

@Dewayne H

H&R! I checked just Friday and it still had said Jan 23rd for filed and Accepted. Maybe it changed Saturday? Hell I dunno. It’s all so crazy. I got my transcripts Saturday. Didn’t have the release code either. But I have my DDD for this week. Updated yesterday on WMR. This year has been crazy.

To those that just filed this month. If they keep up what they’ve been doing, umm, we’ve all been waiting since January…Soo….Yeah. You came to the party a little late. We’re just now getting ours. After people that filed in Febuary already got theirs. Does that make sense? No. It’s a wicked party, huh?

[Rob]

I sent my return in via Turbo Tax on 3/2 and it was accepted the same day. It’s now 10 days later and still no movement on WMR. Code 152 is all I have. I went to online transcripts tool and I have N/A for 2017. Last year I got my return by the 10 day mark and nothing has changed. Anyone know what’s up this year?

Thanks!!

[Betty Lewis]

i got a letter of review ,so i called they told me to called back after 4/23/2018 im so tired of waitting i need my money.

[Dewayne H]

Ashley what tax service did you use to file your taxes ? Your accepted date say Jan 23. but i bet your filing date was changed to feb 26 because my DDD is the 14th. Irs did some shady stuff this year I have never had this issue.

[Ashley]

@Dewayne H

You know, I’ve been looking for that to update also, and it NEVER did. My DDD is for the 14th of March but my filing and Accepted date is still Jan 23rd.

[TheAlchemist]

Btw, I usually update on Saturdays but this time, I updated on Sunday. I have EITC and child tax credit.

[TheAlchemist]

I filed 1/23. I went from processing, to losing bars, to PATH message, to still processing. I talked to the IRS twice who told me that I was under review, letter CP05 was sent out and the only thing I could do was wait 45 days to see if my refund would be released. I ended up talking to a tax advocate last week who looked up my return and let me know that my refund was processed on 3/2 and to keep checking WMR for a DDD by 3/22. On 3/9 after talking to the TA, I received letter 4464C dated 3/6 that said my refund was being reviewed and to wait 60 days. I woke up to a DDD of 3/15 this morning. So it seems like the IRS really are doing extra reviews but usually will release your refund in less than 45 days as long as there aren’t any major discrepancies.

[Dewayne H]

also if you filed any kind of child credit your on a weekly update every Sat. morning..The where my refund will update.

[Dewayne H]

For everyone who filed online H&R Block is who i filed with. Go to your tax history click on the H&R block (green) enter your password again use the drop down MY TAXES select tax history. See if your file date changed if so your 21 days will start from that new date. Mine moved from 1/23 to 2/26 and now my D/D/D is 3/14. Unless you have major errors or offset. The key is checking to see when your actual filing date was submitted.

[Metoo]

I efiled on 01/30 accepted same day. I recieved my state a week after. Then later, I recieved ltr 4464c on 03/05 dated 03/01. Checked wmr today 03/11 updated from still processing to ddd 03/15. Its a matter of wait. Just be patient everyone is going through that same process. I also researched about ltr 4464c that it doesnt exist on the irs website. That letter is to stall the hold.

[Pastfedup]

Filed 1/15
Bars went missing 2/14
Req transcripts 2/5… no return filed
Req acct transcripts… 2/28… 570 dated 3/5/18 971 dated 3/12/18

Called irs told I was on 60 day hold no updates no ddd called tax advocate 3/9/18 was told to wait 5-7 business days can’t see anything online!!!
This sucks makes me never want to work again

[Polaris]

I received letter 4883C after “still being processed” for about two weeks. Have to call in and verify my identity. My state refund already came in.

Last year the same thing happened to me but I had to appear in person to verify. I filed earlier this year to avoid a repeat but here it is again. I filed both years with H&R Block. Is it them? Do I have a red flag item on my return? I don’t qualify for any deductions or credits so it should be straightforward. Is someone fraudster filing as me two years in a row?

[JBinSOCO]

@Shay tax payer advocate line 1877-777-4778

[Fed up]

I filed in January, received 4464 letter 2/7. Transcript has cycle code 2080605 with a processing date of 2-26-2018. It also had 3-5-2018 by the cycle code. Still no updates and no additional letters. I was told there’s nothing wrong with my return. So what’s the hold up. It’s my money and I want it now.

[Shay]

Where can I contact a tax advocate? My is still processing, nothing has changed yet and I called yesterday to be told no changes or updates have happened on my return. Please point me in the right direction, thanks.

[Nesza0215]

Still nothing I ordered my transcripts Monday so I’m hoping I get them soon

[Ashley]

Yay for the DDD! So.glad to see us early filers getting them!

Everyone with a 4464C letter: Early filers are just now getting their DDD. We filed Jan 23rd. So think about it. It’s going to be a few more weeks for yall IF they take the same time with you as they did us. We were under 60 day holds. Took us literally almost 60 days. I hope this helps and if yoi can, get a TA.

[Shesjuswaitin]

Filed 1/30 update to DDD 3/14 husband filed 2/22 and DDD 3/14 so Tax Advocate was right! We are finally getting movement after a long wait well for me anyway my husband not so much!

[Dewayne H]

Filed my taxes on 1/22 was approved 1/23. I filed with H&R block. I was stuck in the being processed from 1/23 to 3/10 today. I never received no letters. What i did notice is that on my tax history (everyone should check) my filing date was moved from 1/22 to 2/26. If you are on a weekly update you wont see no change to saturday. check this morning and I had bars money will be deposited on 03/14. I understand wanting to fight fraud but what i am reading seem like its more people that has never had no problems with their taxes who had their taxes held up. I know a women who files 1/24 had no w2 claimed she was a babysitter had 2 dependents and received her taxes feb 23. Go figure.

[Nanna]

I checked WMR DDD of 3/14 just like the transcripts said when I checked yesterday.
On 3/6 lost all bars went to still being processed no refund amount did have the 152. Checked for transcript on 3/6 said no return filed checked every day and yesterday had transcript and 846 3/14 the WMR today DDD 3/14. Good Luck ALL.

[Hurry]

@rosebud I checked WMR and it says my refund is being processed but when I check my transcript just a few minutes ago I got my 846 code and the release date is 3/15. I’m so happy it’s coming to an end. I had to go through the same thing last year. And my refund hit the same day last year. Hopefully everybody gets some good news today!!

[Djbaddazz]

Tax advocate didn’t lie woke up to Ddd of 3/14
I honestly don’t think they did anything since I just called last week. I received 4464c letter dated 3/2 a couple of days ago. So check wmr
Filed and accepted 2/3
On still processed since 2/6
Woke up today with Ddd.
I never went back to being processed

[Ryan]

After all this time I just got a letter for id verify

[worriedandimpatient]

so I filed my return on 2/2/18 waited like 3 weeks only got my state back. a week later i received the dreadful 4464c letter saying that I am being reviewed and have to wait 60 days from the date of the letter which was dated 2/27/18. I received that letter on the 3/2/18 I called the following Monday 3/5/18 only to be told theres is nothing I can do just have to wait the 60 days for refund and if not call the ins after the 60 days is up. I’m frustrated because really needed the money. I chose to receive a check instead of direct deposit but as others have stated I don’t think WMR is working correctly so I’m not sure if I will know when my refund is approved. Has anyone received the 4464c letter and gotten there refund before the 60 days?

[Ken]

Has ANYONE gotten the 4464c letter and got your refund? Is so, how long did it take?

[Rosebud]

HI everyone!

**Update from my last post**

I FINALLY GOT MY MONEY OVER A MONTH AFTER FILING!

WMR STILL says my return in being processed but my money posted to my account around 3:30pm today.
So apparently WMR is unreliable as I’ve had no bars at all… At ANY point in time. My SSN/TAX ID number is posted, my refund amount and my filing status (if this information matters).

Hopefully this means others will get their money too!
I recall someone saying there would be changes this weekend and low and behold!
Good luck to everyone else!

[Nesza0215]

@givememydamnmoney
Thank you ! I’m going to call a advocate again and see if I can get some type of help!

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

Nesza0215 Maybe it depends on your situation. I know that I called the IRS 4 times and got told 4 different things and got zero answers about what was the issue or what I had to do. I called the local advocate and was called back the following morning. They were able to see my return and that it had been kicked out of the system and would have to be processed manually and could be a couple of months before it got processed without an advocate. I got appointed an advocate and they called me a few days later on March 6th. They called me again this morning with an update. It’s possible my refund could have finally been processed today…hopefully. I am 100% confident I would still be waiting if I had not gotten an Advocate. It doesn’t take longer when you get one…it just takes your case out of the hands of the regular IRS workers that don’t tell you anything at all when you call them. The Advocates can contact whatever department has your return directly, person to person and give deadlines by which they MUST respond, so you are no longer at the bottom of the pile…you get moved to the top.

[Ashley]

I finally got some news y’all!!!! I called the IRS just now because the transcripts I ordered haven’t came in yet and my TA hasn’t called in a few weeks either. She said my hold has been taken off and I have a DD date of 03/14/2018 I’m over the moon. I asked her to double check and she said I’m looking right at it. I was pulled for random review and whomever was working my case has completed it. She said there are A LOT of people falsifying identity and claiming kids even with their SS cards. So they had to make sure with my situation ( I haven’t claimed my kids last few years, Fiance had since I didn’t work and he claimed me also) was legit.

Filed and Accepted Jan 23rd
Bar went missing from processing in early Feb
Early Feb went to Take Action on WMR with refund amount missing, no tax topic either
Feb 12th received 4434C letter
Feb 23rd acquired Taxpayer Advocate
March 9th obtained via phone DDD

I hope all you early filers get your DDD soon also. This has been the worst mess, ever.

[FinallySomeNews]

@Needupdate

I misunderstood I apologize. No I never had to verify anything to the IRS. Never even called them. I did receive the 4464C letter last month but never wanted to stay on hold for hours so I never tried calling to find out what was going on.

[Nesza0215]

@givememymoney
See when I called a tax advocate they told me with them it stops everything communicated with the irs between me and them but also that it takes longer for them to deal with the irs and it could take 2 months if I filed with them so my best bet was to just wait this hold out

[Needupdate]

Nooo.. did u have to verify your identity to the irs like did u have to get a letter in the mail. Lol

[FinallySomeNews]

@Needupdate – All they asked for was a credit card that was in my name as well as a cell phone. They end up sending you a text with a code that you have to input. Once all that is verified then you can look at your transcript.

[Needupdate]

@finally some news

Did u have to verify your identity

[Waiting]

Has anyone else told your hold may be because of withholding errors due to turbo tax? They told me not to do anything and no other letters sent out. What do i do? Will this be fixed by IRS

[inthestillprocessingblackhole]

I filed my return on 1/24 was accepted on 1/26. I have been in a still processing status for 2 months now. I called the IRS on 2/16 and was told by a gentlemen that because I have the EIC and CTC that by return was put back into “circulation” as of 2/15. So my 21 days started from that date. And if after the 21 days if there is no change to call. So I’ve been patient and here it is 3/9 with no update. Keep in mind I have not gotten any letters I have just been in the still processing black hole. So I contacted the IRS again today. A very nice lady told me that I am under a 60 day review (they are no longer doing 45 day reviews they are now 60 days) and that a letter was mailed to me on 3/7. She glanced at my return and didn’t see anything out of the normal that I just needed to be patient and hopefully they will push it through sooner than 60 days. She also said there is no “re-circulation” that the gentlemen I talked to on 2/15 was incorrect. I am beyond frustrated with this years new process. Never have I had to wait this long. It has already been 42 days since I submitted my return and now I am told it could be another 60 days. What I don’t understand is how people are filing after me with the EIC and CTC and have already gotten their refund. They only waited 2 weeks. I really believe mine has fallen into a black hole.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

Nesza0215 when you have a Tax Advocate and your case is expedited the IRS has deadlines they have to meet to respond to each request the Advocate makes. That means they can’t just leave your return sitting at the bottom of the pile. They could ask me for additional information but from here on out they have to do things in a timely fashion. Having an Advocate makes a huge difference.

[FinallySomeNews]

Just pulled my transcripts. I now have a code of 846 – Refund issued date of 3/14/18. Lets hope so. Its been a very long 6 weeks.

[NeverfilingbeforeFeb16thagain]

So I sent that big email a few days ago in reference to the cycle code and the date beside it, and transcript codes and all that jazz. Well I just logged in to IRS transcripts online just see if there was any kind of change or update. I had new codes that I didn’t have before.

1st one – Code 290 which means my account was flagged because not all income reported to them was reported on my return. The amount beside it is zero so it was determined that no additional tax assessment is needed. The cycle date beside it is 20181005 which means that was determined today March 9, 2018.

The second code is 846 Refund Issued! Dated 3/14/18 yayyyy!

My WMR still says still being processed, refund date will be provided when available, tax topic 152. That may not update until tomorrow. That’s the beauty of being able to check your transcript online!

I thought I was going to have to wait until the 21st to see an update or DDD, but it looks like my review is finally coming to an end.

Good luck to everyone!

[Lee]

This may help some of you guys understand what’s really going on and no it’s not Obama’s fault he wasn’t in charge when either thing happened. In previous years though the IRS would go ahead and process returns that could be processed and if there was an income issue or an insurance issue they would request information at a later date and or send you a bill with penalties for filing an incorrect return.

Also currently there is no acting director for the IRS there is only an interim director and he was the assistant director to the person who retired in November and so he’s basically performing both jobs

[Soworried]

Did anyone elsr get 4464c letter today March 9?

[Soworried]

Can anyone tell me after receiving letter 4464c telling you to sit and wait how long it was before you got anymore letters or a change in status??

[djbaddazz]

Filed 2/3
was o still processing since 2/6
recieved 4464c letter 2 days ago but called tax advocate last week
Just got a call from tax advocate and my refund will be posted by 3/14
Will update if it comes sooner

[Beba]

I jcalled IRS and they told me just started my process, I filled 01/25, got accepted 01/26 and received a 4464c letter on 02/12/18 dated 02/07/18. My transcripts statd 03/05 and code 570. I am so confused

[Nesza0215]

@givememydamnmoney
Is the tax advocate really going to be able to get your refund faster ? Seems like the irs just doesn’t care this year

[Michael]

I called the IRS again this AM and got through pretty fast. I originally called and spoke to a rep Tues, but I was confused about “a letter” that the original rep said was sent out that I never received. Filed 2/9, have the 570 code on my transcript w/ 3/19/18 processing date. Rep this AM was very nice, and she basically reiterated what everyone else is being told about holds, etc. So basically, I’m supposed to allow 45 days from the 3/19/18 date for my refund. However, I could receive it anytime before that too. She informed me to check weekly for a transcript update. No real answer why my taxes were filed and received 2/9/18 via TT, and its now four weeks later plus another “allowable” processing time from 3/19/18.

This whole affair this year with the IRS is so bizarre.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

@Ashley, I never received a letter. I filed on 2/1 and was accepted on 2/1. I got the generic message on WMR that my refund is still being processed and a deposit date will be given when available…no tax topic and all my info on the side. According to TT I was supposed to get my refund by 2/22. On 2/23 I called and they could see nothing. Multiple calls, holds about 12 hours of talking and holding with at least 6 people and no real information. Because I have an extreme hardship situation they tried transferring me to a Tax Advocate which just kept on hanging up after making me hold over 2 hours. I called a local tax advocate office and they opened a case for me. A few days later I got a call from my Advocate who contacted the “errors” department to expedite my case. They replied to her late yesterday and she asked me about insurance and told me she would be following up with them today to answer their questions and then they should only have to enter in a code and then release my hold. If they do that right away as she is going to ask them to do then she said I should have my money within a couple of cycles. She said she can’t guarantee that, only that it would be her best guess.

[Nesza0215]

@Ashley
Yes it is I’m so over these bull crap responses from the IRS I mean it’s simple just give us our money you don’t delay taking the money from our checks ! But I do hope we get some update soon I ordered my transcripts Monday so I’m hoping I get them today with some type of code or something on them!

[Ashley]

@nesza0215

Oh goodness. Seems like we’re both stuck since same time then. I hope we get an update AND DD before April because this is exhausting.

[Nesza0215]

@Ashley
Well honestly I have no clue because my 60 day review would have been up April 1st so when I called two days ago I asked like is there anything I can do she said no the irs will just verify what they need and process your refund nothing for you to do and I said okay so I should have something by April first she said oh honey no you’ll be getting a new letter March 12 letting you know your now on a 45 day review but they got every thing they needed for the 60 day review and it didn’t take a full 60 days so maybe the 45 won’t take the full 45 days if it does it will be Endo of April like WTF I was like is there something you guys need for this 45 day review I’m about to now all of a sudden get she said no it just says there’s nothing for you to do to just wait !!!

[robyn]

Went to check…

We are sorry Where’s My Refund is currently unavailable. Please try Where’s My Refund again later.

I also read another forum that the earliest of filers are just now being processed and approving. Have received or will soon DD. Maybe end of month for us? Oh one can dream. A never ending dream it seems.

[Ashley]

Oops meant to tag @nesza0215 also.

@givememydamnmoney

How is the 60 day review up already? Did you get a letter? I filed same day as you and received that awful 4464C letter early February. My TA hasn’t called or answered since taking my case. :/ But I wonder if I have same issue as you. I only had insurance for half the year

[Nesza0215]

@givememydamnmoney
They are using every excuse they can to hold our refunds. I went from a 60 day review to now oh the 60 day is up now your on a 45 day review but nobody can tell me anything except there’s nothing for you to do except to wait WTF I filed on 1/23

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

I just got a call from my Tax Advocate this morning. The IRS responded to her late yesterday about my case. Apparently they asked her about insurance. My child is disabled and has medicaid and because I am a single mother and her only provider/caregiver that coverage also extends to me.

My advocate seemed to be reading the information about insurance to me instead of explaining it herself.

The “explanation” for this issue appears to be that “Because of Obama you were required to have insurance last year, so the IRS needs to verify you were covered the entire year.” (not exact words, but that was the gist of it.)

Then my advocate explained that to manually process my return they need to enter some kind of code about my insurance coverage. She said she can’t guarantee anything but believes I should have my return by 3/23.

So, has anyone else heard the IRS blame Obama for the delays? *Insert Massive Eye Roll here*

[Ryan]

No change here either but it does look like things are still moving

[Nanna]

Still being processed since 3/7 was able to see transcript today states code 846 on 3/14.

[Prettyladyte]

Good morning all if I filed 1/25 went under 45 days review 2/15 was told 3/7 I was done processing with a cycle 0705 does that mean I will get a deposit as y’all ? I can’t see transcripts online I had them mailed a day or two ago. I could call to see if I could have them fax to me.

Filled way back on 1/24, accepted 1/28 with TT. Both Path credits as well as huge small business loss. But…… never, Ever had to wait this long! Not in 18+ years of filing myself. Only thing I can think of is that the IRS used to do work on reviews, After the refunds were issued, during the summer. And now they have a mandate to do them before issuing refunds. Only Damn reason why Sooooo many are getting “Phamton” letters sent, delays, Zero info,stall tactics etc. I too was told that I had been sent a letter a mere 8 business days ago, still nothing. Somethings definitely “OFF” this year big time and I honestly wish the press or media would jump on this and bring the truth out to light! The IRS much like the Postal Service needs to be abolished as they answer to no one and accept zero credibility.

My transcripts have no dates other than an “as of 3/12/2018”, no codes, and says tax return not filed. Literally have no clue what’s going on.

@sweetpea…my advocate had no clue about the special rule for people impacted by hurricanes in 2017. If your income went down and you live in an area impacted by a hurricane or disaster you can use last year’s income to figure your Earned Income Credit Amount. If you would get more based on last years income then you are supposed to use that amount. It’s on line 66 or 66a.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

Tax Advocate office reached out to the IRS resolution dept. telling them to process my refund immediately two days ago. The IRS still hasn’t done squat.

The inept Trump government on full display.

I’ll never file early again, filed 1/26 accepted and transmitted 1/29 never had bars on WMR, when people I know who filed after me got a DDD, i called the IRS and had to ID verify did that on 2/23, so I started seeing people on different blogs and sites the ID Verified after me and had a DDD called on 3/5 now I’m on a 45 day review starting March 19, so I figured what the error was why I was probably on hold and called and they want even do anything about it just we will note that on your account.

@rachel
Thank you thought I was going to get penalize do u know how long it all take

[Rachel]

@sweetpea, I filed my return off of my end of year paystub. When I got my W2 the amounts were different. I actually stated that I made more money than I really did. THAT is why my return is in review – because the numbers didn’t match what my employer reported so it automatically puts you in review to make sure its not fraudulent. In my case I actually should be getting more money back so the TA I spoke with said they will more than likely just release my funds and I will file an amended return later. In your case they will probably just adjust your refund amount. Math mistakes happen!

[Sweetpea]

I talk to my advocate today n my preparer add 2000 by accident so what now

[Fed up]

@rachel of course you will.If u owe them they dont stop hounding

I know me too. Maybe the TA meant he’d call me the 9th, not have money deposited? Because no change online and I doubt I’ll see a deposit without change.

I filed on 2/13 was accepted the same day. I was stuck on 1 bar for about 2 weeks then the bars dropped off and I got the message about my tax return is still processing, my refund amount has stayed on the side this entire time. My transcripts are blank, finally called the irs today and actually got through in about 15 minutes. The lady I talked to said they had not even processed my return yet and to call back on the 21st if I have not received it by then.

Update for me filed 1/16, received 4464 letter dated for 2/6. Got a TA around 3/15, she said my wages were off by 1200. Sent request to have them released. I called IRS today hold has been released should have ddd by Friday. 60 day review would be up on 4/6.It’s almost over.

[taxessuckkk]

weird because I just called last week and it showed up yesterday….nothing is solid at the irs…NOTHING

[Chris]

@Rachel: When you say by looking at my transcript? what do I need to be looking for?

[Rachel]

@Chris, I would not count on that. My processing date is 2/26 and I had a 3/5 date next to code 570. That date is when the hold is either lifted or they can also continue reviewing. In my case, it is still under review. Only way to know is by looking at your transcript or to call an advocate and they can look into your account further. The people you get a hold of at the IRS do not give any helpful or detailed information.

[Chris]

So, upon looking at my transcripts, my cycle seems to be 20180705 and the date next to it, is 03-05-2018, does that means I will receive a DDD date hopefully this Saturday?

[BreYana]

Not true, received a review letter an I didn’t call til after receiving it.

FYI,

you will only get the review letter if you call the irs…

Mine updated, still says being processed, no date. Refund amount disappeared, but tt 152 is back.

[gotapprovedtoday]

I received my refund today. Filed on the 14th. Thank yáll

[Pete]

Here’s the article. Forgot to post it with all this frustration.

https://taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/news/nta-blog-inadequate-training-irs

[Pete]

I think reading this article might help you guys understand why it seems like you get nowhere when you call the IRS. It spent $87 dollars on training per employee in FY 2017. Unbelievable.

I called a few days ago and the representative kept using Tax Payer Assistance Center & Tax Payer Advocate Center interchangeably. If the answer to your question is not on the script in front of them, well, your tax dollars do not pay them to think. Infuriating.

This ends this year for me, though. I am claiming exempt the rest of this year and will deal with them later. I’d rather invest the money than give the government an interest free loan.

I am viciously waiting until midnight to check the status of my refund before bed.

[Ashley]

@ShallowWaters

I ordered mine since I couldn’t do the online. It’ll be here in 5-10 business days. I’m hoping it al least says something. It’s better than this endless nothing! You could order yours too!

[ShallowWaters]

@Ashley

I can’t even get my transcripts because I do not have a mobile in my name…. (ex husband issue, llllllllllllooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg story) anyways…I’m stuck just waiting endlessly for something that I realise will probably never come.

What is with the delay with these letters? All of this is far too much to handle at times. We all need our money, we have all paid it out, some more than others.

So why why why do they keep us in this limbo? If there is fraud then rectify it come April or summer or whenever they do their freakin’ audits!

Ya, know?

[Ashley]

@lharrison

I filed Jan 23rd and got the 4434C letter early Feb. I’m still here. In tax purgatory also. Waiting.

[Ashley]

@ShallowWaters,

At least you can see transcripts? 😂 It finally let me attempt in making an account but won’t accept my cell phone number. So now I wait on the Post Office too! SMH I still don’t get why my HRB app hasn’t updated my filing date? Like I guess they haven’t even gotten to mine yet. FML I was hoping for some kind of movement this week too. Remember TA mentioned the 8th/9th. Sigh.

On another note tho…A lot of folks are just now getting the 4434C letters and filed same time as us. :/ Now that’s some bullshit.

[NeverfilingbeforeFeb16thagain]

@ Pati3nc3 Your welcome :-)

@Rachel I’m glad :-)

[Rachel]

I didn’t have to hold very long and she got right into my account and told me everything I figured was holding it up..but the boneheads at the IRS wouldn’t tell me. Still waiting on my refund but at least I see a light at the end of the tunnel now!

[JBinSOCO]

@lharrison i didnt get the letter but i filed 1/29 and i have a 570 hold until 3-19 im sure ill get a letter this week.

[lharrison]

so after weeks of no movement, i finally received a letter from irs, 4464c stating, “this review is part of an ongoing program the IRS conducts to ensure the accuracy of return information, you aren’t required to do anything, blah blah blah”…my return was filed & accepted on 1/29 and the wmr still says, “your refund is being processed with date amount, etc…anyone else dealing with this issue??? please respond as i am going crazy and need my **** money!!

[Pati3nc3]

@neverfiling thank you for that information. My situation is just like yours with the letter and all, the only difference is that my cycle date ends in 03 instead of 05. I appreciate the break down of the cycle date.

[B_NAcworth]

@Randall my filing date just updated to 3/5/2018 on HRB. I give up.

[ShallowWaters]

@Ashley

Thus far…no update to be had. I am so sick over this.

Nothing is happening; with that said, I am having to tell myself once again….that they didn’t actually put me on file until Feb 27th even THOUGH I had filed on Jan 22 and was accepted on Jan 23!!!

This is just so damn FUBAR.

Sorry you don’t have anymore information on your end either…accept the codes. At this point, I would even like to see A CODE! ANY CODE!!!

[leslie]

I filed through turbo tax on 2/12, accepted on 2/12 and wmr has taken the status bar away and says still being processed, with amount and has the tax topic 152… ugh help.. will i get it soon, should i receive something in mail? Frustrating.

[Mike]

I have not seen any official posts by the IRS explaining the delays, messages or letters. Every tax situation is different. Transcripts, cycles, tax advocates, etc. Let’s face it, it is pretty much out of our hands. DDDs aren’t even accurate at this point. Just a waiting game. The IRS seems overwhelmed regarding the task at hand.

[Hurry]

Okay so I filed on 1/29. I also have the code 570 with a date 03/05/2018. My cycle code is 20180703. I called the irs this morning and the rep said some updates have been made and that I should see some movement this week and that are coming to a close with my taxes!! Good luck to everyone!!!

[Anne]

Hey @Chill you were WRONG!:(

[SoTiredOfWaiting]

@Whywhywhy

Someone had posted this below – You Want to see Tax Topic 152 this message is informing you decided that you will be receiving a direct deposit or check for any refunds the IRS issues you. Your tax topic will change if there is an issue affecting your return.

[Whywhywhy]

If you do not have tax topic code 152 is that a bad thing….?????

Mine says refund is still being processed
I have no tax topic code

[Jhaquel Nicholson]

Mine is still saying being processed too. Anybody have the number to call because the only number I have is the automated system and it won’t get me to a rep at all.

[Michael]

I got through very fast this AM when I called the IRS. The rep stated that mine posted to “the system” this week. Whatever that means. I filed w/ TT and shows “received” 2/9/2018. She basically said what many other here are saying about reviews, possible 45 day wait, etc. She didn’t not say that anything was wrong. Anyway, still says the still processing, generic 152 code and refund amount still sowing on left side. 25 days waiting.

[Jenny Youngs]

This is crazy. I have 570 with date 03/05/2018. I have not received any kind of letter, I can only order transcripts by mail. I was also hoping for some Kind of update. I called the IRS and am not told to wait until after 04/18/18. WTF they just keep changing dates. The lady told me their rules changed when I questioned the 18 since I was told just last week if nothing was wrong I should have them by the 1st of April. The IRS has got to be the biggest joke this year. Never have I had any kind of issues before

[Devin]

Filed 1/31. Accepted next day. EIC and CTC. Just got review letter two days ago. Told me may take another 60 days. This is a first

[Evelyn Martinez]

Yes, mine does say that my turbo tax stated I would receive by the 5th and I have the 152 code tax info still processing. Tried to call in but was not able to reach anyone.

[EarlyFiler]

Filed and Accepted on 1/24. WMR Bar missing with processing message since then until now. No Letters in the mail and No transcripts available yet. What should I do? Any suggestions please? I am freaking out now. I haven’t called IRS once.

[Dee]

@neverfiling That definitely did explain most situations and should ease some. What do you recommend for filed 2/5, no bars since 2/17, and still cant view transcripts, just says no return filed. If I could see some codes at least ill know what im facing. Do transcripts update daily?

[Nicole]

Turns out mine is being held due to a typo. Lord knows when I’ll see it. :/

[Whywhywhy]

I was not able to order online but I could do the mail option. Does that mean that I have a transcript or could they still be blank?

Filed/accepted 1/29
Delayed till 2/15 no bars

Verified identity on 2/26

Current status
Refund is still being processed
A refund date will be provided when available
No codes
Refund amount still their

[Samehere]

The same thing happened to me. Did you ever get your refund? If so, how long after the message did it take?

[Rachel]

@neverfiling, you should get a job working for the IRS! At least you could give people a little bit of insight! I realize they might not be able to tell you “specifics” relating to everyones tax situation BUT it might help eliminate repeat phone calls if they could give you a little more than the vague BS they are giving people. I don’t know if they have to be vague or they are just lazy. They could at the very least explain to people like you just did!

[NeverfilingbeforeFeb16thagain]

@SoTiredOfWaiting

Your Welcome :-)

[SoTiredOfWaiting]

@NeverfilingbeforeFeb16thagain

Thank you for posting that. Now it makes sense.

[NeverfilingbeforeFeb16thagain]

@Rachel

Not really, at this point a letter could come at anytime. I would check the codes on your transcript because sometime those codes stand for certain things. There is a list online that explains what they mean. It could just be that they are still currently working on your tax situation, but don’t worry, you should eventually get some kind of letter, or if they need more info from you, the letter will eventually be sent out. I know its been stressful this year for all of us, but try and hang in there. You can always give them a call if you need to.

[Danielle]

@SRob

No wonder why. Well at least I have a heads up, they are checking EITC returns with a fine toothed comb. I guess I can quit checking on it for a few days. Filed 02/21.

[Rachel]

@Neverfilling I never got any kind of letter. Does that mean anything?

[NeverfilingbeforeFeb16thagain]

@Ashley, your welcome

@Rachel, thats riiiight! you got it :-) February 8, 2018

Now if the date beside your cycle date is February 26, then their should have been some kind of update the following Saturday unless they need more info from you. This is when it gets difficult and the individual codes on your taxes matter and stand for certain things.. I would check your transcript and look at the codes and see what those codes stand for, or wait for a letter, or maybe this Saturday something will update. They do have that 60 day window if you got that letter so it may take longer depending on your individual case.

[Rachel]

@neverfillingbeforeFeb16thagain, under my cycle number (which is 20180605) it shows a processing date of Feb 26. What does that mean exactly? If I am understanding your post correctly, I am the 6th week of the year which would mean mine processed on Feb 8th?

[Ashley]

Thank you! @NeverfilingbeforeFeb16thagain

I am looking forward to getting my transcripts. I hope they aren’t blank. It’s been long enough I hope. I tried online but that’s rediculous.

[NeverfilingbeforeFeb16thagain]

I received the 4464C letter in the mail stating I’m under review for up to 60 days last week and after doing further research I found out that the best thing to do to find out what’s going on for each individual case is to order your transcript online if you can. I was able to find out that the cycle date on your transcript and the date that is directly beside it is not the same thing. The cycle date is the date that your taxes hit the IRS master file. The way the cycle date interprets is for example mines is 20180805, what that means if the first four numbers “2018” is the year, the middle two numbers “08” is the week of the year your taxes hit the master file and the last two “05” is the day of the week it is processed.

Cycle date last two numbers

01 Friday
02 Monday
03 Tuesday
04 Wednesday
05 Thursday

So this means that even though I filed Jan 29th and my taxes were excepted the same day, it didn’t hit the IRS master file until: Thursday since my cycle date ends in 05; 2018 is the year and the day is the 22nd which is the 8th week of the year. So my taxes and anyone with this cycle date 20180805 knows now that your taxes didn’t hit the IRS master file until February 22, 2018. Now on your transcript there is another date right beside it, mines is 3/12/18, this is not my DDD but it is the approximate date that some kind of change should take place. Either I would get a DDD that weekend or they will request further info, if needed.

If they don’t need any info and everything is good to go, know that the two digits on the cycle date also stand for if you get a weekly update or a daily update. I found out that people who have a cycle date ending in 01, 02, 03, or 04 can check the WMR daily for an update after that date beside the cycle date.

But since most of ours ends in 05 we get weekly updates. The WMR does not update until Saturday morning for weekly update people. People who requested direct deposit should know that weekly people DDD is on the Wednesday after that Saturday update, unless you are getting a check and that would be sent out on that day.

So for example since my date beside my cycle date on my transcript is 3-12-18. I can check my WMR all I want to every day from now until then and nothing will change until the weekend after 3-12-18, why because I will only see an update the following Saturday after 3-12-18. So that Saturday the 17th, if no more info is needed by IRS and everything is good to go then I should see a DDD for that Wednesday the 21st…. Hopefully

I know this was a lot, but I hope it helps someone

[SRob]

Turbo Tax said my federal was accepted on Feb 5th, however when I called IRS (thinking my 21 days was up), the lady said that I was still in the window as they didn’t receive it until the 12th of Feb. told me to call back on March 5th. Called back today and lady told me that it was still processing, call back in 2 weeks, and that bc of my credits (eitc & actc) it could take up to 60 days from Feb 15th to get my refund! my transcripts show a cycle date of Mach 1st. (20180905)
It also shows a processing date of March 19. Is this the day they have to finish processing it by??
This was our largest refund yet and I am so anxious to get my hands on it as we have many medical bills to pay off!

[Stillwaiting]

I filed on 1/28 with turbo tax, accepted 1/29, claimed EITC and got the 4464c letter last week. My amount still shows on where’s my refund, but it says “still processing” I’ve seen a lot of people get DDD that got the 4464c letter so hopefully we will all be next. I did call and they didn’t really say anything. Wait the 60 days. Bummer.

[gotapprovedtoday]

filed feb 14
accepted same day
ever since then, its been in process with code 152
i didnt call irs
claimed deductions and business loss
got a mail from state feb 21 requesting for business loss supporting docs and w2’s
got no mail from federal
sent supporting docs to state may 1
checked “where’s my refund” today mar 5 and saw that I got approved and and is scheduled to be sent to my bank by mar 7
I guess it was worth the wait, the was the longest it took and I hope my state review has not impact on my federal

[Fed up]

I am so disgusted with this tax year filed 2-6 and i havent seen a update in 3 weeks. I refuse to call because i have not received a letter and i feel that opens a can of worms. I just do not undrstand why a simple return with no credits or school credits are taking so long.

[Sherry]

I filed my returned on February 3, 2018 and it was accepted the same day. I called IRS and was told it was under further review for 45 days which started on February 14th. She said I should be receiving a letter but I haven’t received it yet. she also stated there was nothing wrong with my return and there was nothing I did wrong but they are trying to prevent identity theft. Is anyone having the same problem? Checked WMR again today, still processing. Has anyone gotten their refund after getting this info?

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

I already have been referred to a Tax Advocate for extreme financial hardship but the IRS has a legal obligation to keep all of us informed about what we need to do if there is a problem and they are NOT doing that. There have been class action suits they have lost before and if they don’t get their crap together I’m sure they’ll have another one this year.

[Anne]

@givememydamnmoney I feel for you. My point was just that as much as I wish they did, the IRS doesn’t care about all of our individual stories. People file fraudulent claims and due to the PATH act they are scrutinizing each of our returns. So we can thank all those people for this.

[Ashley]

Update: Still waiting! 😂🙈 So I had to end up ordering my transcripts. Online wouldn’t let me use my cell phone (which it’s in my name and not prepaid) (this is a far it finally let me register :/ ) So anyways, still no bars or amount. I’ve heard no amount means more or less money. Yay?! Also, I didn’t mention it says ‘Take Action’ and code 1541. Not much is good about that either but only time will tell with that. I do not have any offsets tho so…Oh and TA won’t call me back either. I’m sure they are all so awfully busy. @ShallowWaters…Any update?

[rick]

got a letter on Friday from IRS saying I was under additional review, and that it could be 60 days from the date of the letter. I was accepted back on 1/29th, it has been well over a month already. I give up entirely..I have no friggin clue wtf to do. letter states no action needed, but sit and wait and wait and wait

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

@Anne if I lose my car, get evicted and end up on the street with a disabled child because the IRS can’t get their finger out of their a$$ and honor their obligations to at least TELL ME what the bloody hell I have to do to fix this then yes, I will contact a lawyer and see what legal options I have.

[Spooky]

Filled with TT on 1/25 with both Path credits and a small business loss. Updated to Acepted on 1/29. Lost our single bar on 2/15 to the dreaded Tax Topic 152 and zero movement at all, no letters zilch. Today I called and was very surprised to only have to wait about 15 minutes to speak to an agent. Had to verify a bunch of last years info, then put on hold for five minutes (typical). I was then told that last Wednesday they mailed us a CP05 letter, that we will probably get by tomorrow and that we are under review and to do nothing but to wait up to the 45 additional days. Sigh. I asked why things are Sooooo differen this year and was simply told that they are reviewing as many of the Path Act filers as they possibly can. If this is Now the “norm”, I’m not going to kill myself next year to File early as what’s the point. While the lawmakers may have had good intentions creating the Path Act, it is easily hurting those that need the refunds the most. Sigh

[IRSsucks]

@abby. Hope is good, but please stop. Unless you are an IRS agent, please don’t fill others with your delusional rants. I said good day!

[Anne]

You are going to pay a lawyer to get your refund faster? I realize most of us here are having a financial hardship. Depending on our tax refunds probably isn’t the best idea since you are dealing with an government entity and they basically can take their own sweet time. Do you have any idea how many thousands of calls a day they are getting right now from everyone claiming to have a financial hardship. We are nothing more than a number in a system to them. They do not care about each one of our financial problems. I am a month behind on my car payment and could use my refund to get caught up and to pay off debt that I have but I need to get myself in a better financial position so that I am not dependent on my tax refund to get me out of my financial problems. Most of us here are lucky in that we are getting back a hell of a lot more than we have put in. I paid in $700 in income tax this year but because I have 2 kids and low income I am getting back almost $5000. Where as there are people I know who end up owing. My parents for example have no dependents to claim. They don’t make that much money but they will barely break even. So I am NOT going to complain!

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

Filed 2/1.
Accepted 2/1
One bar and Tax Topic 152 a day or two later.
Had to wait until 2/15 due to EITC.
No update for a few days on WMR.
Update to WMR between 2/18 and 2/20 to no bars, no tax topic and this message:

“Refund Status Results

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.
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.”

—————————————————————-

No letters received or sent.
Called IRS several times, told different things, spent almost 8 hours on hold, still have NOT been told what the hell I need to do to get my damn money.

Was referred to a Tax Advocate for SEVERE financial hardship and told if they don’t call me by 3/7 to call them at a specific local office.
Still waiting.

2/22 was 21 days from filing.
3/8 will be 21 days from the day they started sending out EITC refunds.

If I don’t have my money, a DDD or specific instructions on what the frick I have to do by 4pm on 3/8 I’m contacting an attorney. I am being held up because my employer from 2016 who I last worked for on December 21, 2016 paid me my last check for work I did in 2016 in the first few days of January in 2017 and NEVER sent me a W2. I can’t even access it because it’s held hostage online under an old work login that I don’t have access to anymore.

In the meantime…my car broke down the last week of January. My only job at the money is delivering for Uber and Amazon, so I can’t work until I fix my car, which I can’t do until I get my refund. I’ve lost my phone service already. In about a week my electricity will be shut off. In 10 days I will be evicted. My car payment is very late now and could be repo-ed any day. I owe less then $200 to pay it off.

At this point I am beyond pi$$ed.

[Rhonda]

@ Still waiting*** I tried calling the irs this morning and kept getting they where having technical difficulties and it just hung up on me. I tried 3 more times and same thing so will wait til the 7th if nothing i’m calling

[SarahC]

I just got off the phone with the irs and was told was refund was issued 3/1 but was mailed. I asked for direct deposit so this was unexpected. This may be the case for others who asked for their money to be put on a card foolishly thinking it would result in a faster deposit….
best of luck all

[Rachel]

@youngsfamily, Exactly. At this point I have just thrown my hands up. All these people calling tax advocates and claiming to have a “hardship”.. Sure I want my refund as much as anyone else but I look at it as a lesson in patience I suppose. Plus the sooner I get it the sooner I’ll spend it. Ha

[Jenny Youngs]

@rachel thanks. What’s a few more day I’d waiting, it’s not like we have a voice or a choice in this. Right?

[James m]

Been stuck on still being processed since 2/5 just talked to the irsfor the second time and this time I was told I had to get a letter to verify my address and once I receive the letter and call the number I will be fine just posting to give my personal experience if all else fails keep calling till you get some one willing to help you be prepared to be on the phone for nearly 30 minutes

[Still waiting]

@Rhonda our story is EXACTLY the same ..Same filing date and same update today on wmr that says still being process with no bars……today I broke down an called …..I was told to call back on the 7th if no changes have been made…..so I guess we sit an wait until the 7th

[Rhonda]

Well I filed on 2/14 accepted the same day had one bar with tax code 152 which is normal til this morning when I checked, my bars are gone tax code is gone and now says your tax return is still being processed and a refund date will be provided when available. My 21 days are up on the 7th so makes me wonder if I should worry, call or just wait it out. This has never happened before.

[Rachel]

@youngfamily I think most people update weekly and the cycle number just indicates what day of the week. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Mine is 20180605. The 05 updates on friday apparently. So I guess my WMR won’t update again if I’m getting my money until then. Meh

[Jenny Youngs]

Can someone tell me how to tell the difference between weekly and daily? I have 20180705.

[Rachel]

@youngfamily my transcript says the exact same thing. Was hoping to get a DDD this last weekend but no such luck.

[Abby]

I have been trying to send a link all day. guess it blocks it. i hope this works and helps some people.

If you have the “Being Processed” message The “being processed” message is a good sign. If you are seeing this message most likely your tax return is done and your return was just resequenced to the next update. Taxpayers seeing this message should have an 846 refund issued code or should see one posting to your account transcript soon. We recommend you check the next major update being Wednesday for dailys and Saturday for weekly Accounts. If you have the “Still being processed” message If you have this message don’t panic when you see this message. This is a generic message that simply means that the IRS cannot guarantee you a tax refund within the original 21-day time frame. The computer system felt something on your return most likely needed a second look.

What should you do?

Most people that are stuck on this message could see it for 1- 2 weeks maybe even longer. And most will receive an update to a Direct Deposit Date without needing any further information. But for others stuck with this message, there is a really good possibility that you may need to provide more info or verify yourself with the IRS. If you are seeing this message the best advice we can give is get Informed Delivery® by USPS® or keep an eye on your mail because you may need to provide the IRS with additional information. If you are seeing this message for more than 21 days and you have not seen any updates to your account and you have not received any letters in the mail we recommend you call the IRS for further information.
Remember: If you are stuck on the still being processed message we recommend you try to view your account transcripts online. By viewing your transcripts you will know the codes that are showing up on your account and you will also be able to see if you have any notices issued by the IRS.

Why does my refund amount disappear?

If your refund amount disappears there is a good chance your refund amount may be different then the amount you originally filed. Your refund amount may change if the IRS has made adjustments to your account or you have past due obligations or debt. If you don’t owe anything then don’t worry, your refund amount will show back up once it is approved.
Why do I see Tax Topic 152 message?

You Want to see Tax Topic 152 this message is informing you decided that you will be receiving a direct deposit or check for any refunds the IRS issues you. Your tax topic will change if there is an issue affecting your return

[Abby]

@Jeannine

Me too. I am so confused by the cycle date and then the processing date. I looked at the cycle calendar and my cycle date means 20180805 Thursday, February 22, 2018 which is the date my bars vanished. when i look up that date on the cycle date it has Feb 17 – Feb 23, 2018 Mar 12, 2018- so im hoping that means i will receive my refund on march 12th or should i say the 15th since my cycle date is 05 which means Cycle Code Ending in 05= Thursday

[R311]

Filed and accepted 1/29
Been checking the WMR and not says still being processed. I got the 4466c letter saying wait 60 days after the date of the letter which was the 22nd of Febuary….so I guess I’m not gonna know anything until April 23rd????

Is there anyway I can speed this process up. I’ve been on hold with TAS all morning.

[Jeannine]

My cycle date is 20180705 date 03-05-18
So u guys are saying that it means I’m weekly so what does that mean excatly ??? Sorrrrrrry .. so confused lol

[Harly]

Great….Logged in this morning expecting to see a DDD of this week and to my surprise it now says “still being processed refund date will be provided when available” no progress bar is displayed….I hope this doesn’t mean it will take a while. Transcript for 2017 not yet available either.

[BreYana]

@Abby 20180705
07 is the cycle
05 is day of the week. Which Friday-Saturday. Making us weeklys

[Abby]

@breyana

How do you know if you are weekly?

[breyana]

I filed 1/29 as well. since we’re weekly’s we won’t see the DDD until this upcoming Saturday. I’m hoping we see some movement this week!

[Whywhywhy]

Filed 1/29 accepted same day. I had bars for a few day they have been gone since beginning of feb. I called on 2/24 they said a letter was sent on to verify my identity (my second year of doing so). Called on 26th of Feb to verify my identity. Since then I have had no change to wmr refund tool. It still say your refund is still being processed. I filed with TT. I am really hopine for an update tomarrow with bars and a ddd. Has anyone had to verify around the same date I did and got an update or their refund? Please irs give me a ddd!!!

@BreYana

I have the same codes and dates, I filed 1-29

[BreYana]

Does anyone have their transcripts with the cycle 20180705 and processing date of 3/5/2018?

[Michael Bliss]

Day 24 waiting since my refund was received. Efiled w TT. Still saying still processing w generic 152 code, and refund amount still showing on the side. I tried to do the online transcripts, but when I select send code to my email the screen freezes on the IRS site

[SarahC]

Shelley my experience has been identical this year. I was accepted the same day and I too am using turbo tax. Everyone I know filed after me with the same credits and received their returns. I don’t understand.

[Shelley]

I e-filed via Turbo Tax, same as the past several years. Claimed my son, standard/simple return. It was accepted by the IRS Jan 19, under ”review” that started Feb 15, but STILL waiting. Utterly ridiculous.

[Abby]

@breyana

Thank you so much for answering.

[breyana]

@ab that’s when you’ll be processed or the review extended. More than likely you’ll be receiving your DDD that week.

[Sheletha Deason-Griggs]

i filed my federal taxes with credit karma on february 5 2018 and it has been accepted since that day yet WMR says it is still being processed a refund date will be poasted when it is available i am beyond pissed because i had a simple return no dependants and no earned income credit. I am on medication for HBP needless to say I need my medicine and my BP is spiking due to this delay. I am tired of dealing with the IRS they act as if they dont care because its not their money if i owed them they would not hesitste to harrass me damn the IRS!

[Ab]

I just received my transcripts. Can anyone tell me what this means? Cycle 20180805 date 3-12-18 processing date 3-12-18

[JoeStackATX]

Ok get this when i check WMR i get still processing, i can not get transcripts unless i call and it works with the new address , but when i call the refund status number it says my ssn is invalid.. wtf?

[Queen]

Hello everyone…. I filed 01/29 got accepted the same day. Called irs 3 times the third time the representative actually explained to me my taxes was offset due to my husband ole back taxes from 2009. Wasn’t much but he said it pushed us back 3weeks. This week was the third week. He told me the system updates when it want but it always updates on a Saturday. He told me if I didn’t see a change this week call back on Monday. The system updated last night and I woke up in approved 🤗 thank God I was getting inpatient. Ddd 03/07 … Praying it hits my account on time

[Jesse]

Filed and accepted 1/29. Bars missing since 2/12 stuck on processing. I looked back at the last 10 years of me filing the exact same way with the same kids. The latest Ive ever received my return was last year on 2/22. I dont even have words to describe how furious this is making me. The very least those sorry mfers at the IRS could give us is a straight answer. Now I see why that guy about 8 years ago down in Austin flew his fucking plane into the IRS building.

[Treva Boatman]

Mine still says the same thing I called and can not get a reason why my refund has not been release

[quay719]

@ashley

thank you. I will most certainly take your advice. Whatever they need, I will get it to them ASAP. I have a nice little pile of tax related stuff right here on my sofa and an old fax machine I can hook up to the phone line. :) I’m just gonna stay positive.

[Ashley]

@quay719

Get a TA if possible. IRS isn’t answering any questions in regards to these delays. :/ Told me to just wait and apologized. My TA said I should see refund 3 weeks from contacting him but maybe 7 weeks.

[quay719]

welp…. got the dreaded 4464c letter today dated 02/28. I am calling on Monday for certain. I was trying to give it a chance before calling but it looks like I will be delayed 60 days anyway, so may as well get ahead of this process as best I can.

[Neice]

Guy I just wanted to share my personal experience

Filed 1/29
Accepted 1/29
Bar went missing around the second week of Feb (refund amount and ss and filing status still on left side

Message state we have received your refund it’s being proceeded a date will provided when available Topic 152

Call the irs twice was told I was under review and would receive a letter and my 45 days starts from the 15th of feb
I asked if I needed to I’d verify the lady told me know even though in previous years I have she told me no I was all set .

Today I woke up a ddd for March 7th

Guys every situation is different so some may not need to do anything like myself you just need to wait

[Jenny Youngs]

Can someone help decipher this…..
Filed 1/24 with turbo tax, accepted 1/29
First set of transcripts I ordered on 2/14 was blank
Second set has the following
150 filed cycle 20180705 date 03/05/2018 $0.00
806 no cycle, date 04/15/2018 $$$$
766 no cycle, date 04/15/2018 $$$$
570 no cycle, date 03/05/208 $0.00
When I called on 2/20 I was told I was under review. I have received no letters. Does this mean on Monday they will finally procsss my taxes? (Would be spectacular) any idea when I possibly will see my DD?? This year has been nuts!!!

[EarlyFiler]

I filed through TurboTax and got accepted for Federal on 1/24.
WMR bar went missing a few days later, with “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” message.
I didn’t claim any EIC credits, just my college tuition. Didn’t call IRS at all, no letters either, just patiently waiting for 6 weeks now. My SS# and refund amount is shown on the left, no tt152 message.

Anyone on the same boat? What should I do? Any suggestions would be appreciate :(

[JBinSOCO]

@Jesse i was reading about him Joe Stack, man they pissed that guy off

[Ryan]

Same no change

[JBinSOCO]

Im able to order transcripts using my new address over the phone, but cant order with any over the internet, this happened yesterday, i was hoping to wake up with a DDD but nothing still procssing date provided later.. tt152 and amount all still there, maybe itll update again for a ddd this week? or do i need to wait another week now?

[Michael]

Are there any IRS updates during the weekend or do we have to wait until Monday? This is ridiculous!

[Shelley]

I filed, accepted on 1/29. Haven’t receive state and was told my refund is on hold for the whole 45 day thing. Never got anything in the mail. I’ve called a few times to the irs and the ta. I’ve heard so many different things that I’ve basically given up getting any kind of a helpful answer. I habe eic and ctc and self employed. I did get my transcripts and have 20180605 and a date of March 5th. Still useless cuz I have no idea what this shit means. I was hoping for an update today but nothing. I’m praying I see some type of update Monday,but at this point I doubt it

[Jesse]

[Michael]

Filed and accepted 2/9/18 w/ TurboTax. No updates beyond the orange bar going away this past Tues. Still processing w/ generic 152 code at the bottom and refund amount still showing in the side. Also, we haven’t received a letter or additional request from IRS. Very frustrating.

[WaitingInWI]

First time posting this year. Each year I post less to avoid repeating. Anywho filed 2/9/2018 at night fed said accepted at 12:02am 02/10/2018
Lost bars early this last week. Might call Monday since the 21 days should be up… I think? Hopefully it just updates everyone I’ve asked at work has gotten theirs both filing before and after one was 13k so not small and most with EiC. Last year I slipped through quite fast. This year is not the case. Looks like claiming exempt and saving my own money will be the better bet this year. Yuck. Good luck everyone.

[Nicole]

@chill no change at all what so ever. So I guess this likely will take the full 45 days.

[Jose]

I filed 1/26 /18 and on the 3rd of Feb my bars disappear with a message saying your refund status it’s still being processed a refund date will be provided when available. I d verify on the 26 and on the1 of March got a message saying we have received your tax return is being processed …. This happen to me Last year I had to I’d verify for the second time I went thru hell and back just to get my money in June 6 17 .i just don’t understand WTF its going on I need my money

[Ashley]

Not a damn thing has changed.

[run]

Ok for some reason mine is saying I may have entered the wrong info. After several attempts I’m thinking my Amount may have changed. I guess the system did some kind update….now I’m really confused. Did this happen to anyone else.

[Ken]

Nothing for me either

[Skyler]

Well nothing for me guys

[Omgggggggggggge]

Updated with DDD of 03/07, but it says I have an offset I don’t owe anybody and nothing on the offset line, hoping it’s just a glitch I’ve waited long enough

[Keke39]

Mine said still processing to now being processed it’s been well over the 21 days no letter no code.

[Chill]

As of 4:06 no change updates are between 3-6 will update you all with DDD , REMEMBER chill said it first

[BJ21]

Filed on 2/16 accepted on 2/16 wmr accepted return had all 3 bars then bars disappeared for almost 2 weeks. WMR stated return was still being processed and they would provide a date as soon as possible also had the T152 post on it. Checked everyday received the same message daily. Checked the mail box for an IRS letter none received. However, I checked it at 330am and I received an approval with a deposit date of March 7, 2018. Approved refund amount was over 10k. Be patient everyone I believe it will eventually work out for you.

[Lili]

Mine finally updated to still being processed refund date will be provided when avaliable! The end is near!

[James]

Filed 2/15. Lost my bars last week and just this morning I updated to a DID of 3/7 from the still processing message.

[Skyler]

@Annie I have the same thing and have been trying to figure it out.

[Sweetpea]

When do the system ipdate

[Annie]

So I was finally able to check my transcript online. I have a cycle code of 20180805 and it also has the code 570 with the date of 3-12-18 does anyone have any idea what this means?

[EarlyFiler]

hi guys, please read this article. i think it might be helpful. good luck to us all :)

[Ashley]

@ShallowWaters

I looked online AGAIN and no update anywhere. So I click on Tax History and it should be right there, right? It hasn’t changed. WMR hasn’t changed. I tried to make an account with IRS online to get my transcripts. That’s a joke. Internal error and try again later. I’m tired of trying.

[Tammy]

I was randomly picked by the computer system( Income verification)Not reporting the rest of my income is was got my return flagged. It didn’t match what the IRS has in there system. The Advocate told me EXACTLY how much I was short and that was the exact amount of the w2 that I didn’t file

[Chill]

Let the countdown down begin! don’t forgot to comment and tag me and say “chill said it first “!!!!

[Tammy]

I received the 4464c letter today. I was informed I was under review on 2/22 but was never told why. Went under review on 2/ 14 In my situation they are holding my return for not reporting all of my income. I had 1 w2 ($150… $3.00 federal taxes withheld) that I didn’t file when I got my return prepared. I Didn’t think it was a issue since we have 3 years to file a w2. I called and requested a tax advocate (need my $$ hardship) Advocate told me WHY I was under review I had to do a 1040x . Send in any proof of hardship.

[Cyara huffman]

so word of advice everyone that filed kinda early are probably going through the same thing.. so next year dont be in a rush. some of us filed returns in hope of when they released on the 15th that we would see a quicker refund. well upon talking to irs they informed me basically becuase i filed on the 24th of Jan that they had to confirm that the information i put on my taxes match my W2’S.. most places dont send them out before then.. so trying to speed up the process has come back and kicked me in the ass.

[Hurry]

Most likely it won’t take 45 days. It didn’t take me 45 days last year and I had the code 570. It happened this year also. So I’m probably gonna get it next week or the week after. Good Luck to us ALL!!!

[Lorena]

I filed and got accepted 2/5/18. I called IRS today because wmr still shows as processing. They told me my deposit will be on 3/7! I claimed EIC.

[Ryan]

I agree let’s use collective consciousness and all visualize that ddd

[DeAnn]

So today I received both my Account and Return transcripts. Along with that I ALSO received my 4464c letter advising of the hold I’ve been on since 2/15.
My Account transcript has the 570 hold code w/ 3/5/2018 and I am praying and hoping that I will have a WMR update when I wake up tomorrow and I get my refund next week.
I know the 4464c states that it can take 60-days from the date of my letter (2/27/2018), but Ive been under review since 2/15…so I really dont and hope it wont take that long…

So lets all join our positive vibes together and hope we get a WMR update tomorrow!

[ShallowWaters]

@artic.turtle I completely agree with you…this is only the beginning….probably won’t see anything until June or July….and maybe not even then. And people complaining just mere days after filing need to STFU they have no idea the hell we have been in. And you know they will get their money back, long before we ever see on copper cent of it!

@Ashley I just keep hoping but I am not hopeful at all really…. That is crazy that your fiance got his back already. I’m just sitting back and waiting to see what happens tomorrow. I’m really curious.

As a side note on another forum people that had a date of 3/5/18 on their transcripts have now seen movement and will be getting their refund in a couple of days. I wish I was one of them. I wish we all were actually. This is so messed up and complete BS.

I’m actually surprised @Ashley that your file date hasn’t changed yet…. So many of ours did. I also was told on another forum from someone that spoke again to the IRS that anyone with EIC credit will not even be looked at or fully processed until April. Not sure how true that is as it was an IRS agent that said it.

SMH

Never again!

[Hurry]

@christy this happened to me last year and it’s happening this year also. Last year it didn’t tax 45 days. I’m hoping it won’t take 45 days this year either. Last year I code my refund once week after my code 570 date

[Lili]

Anyone know if mailed transcripts will be different than online? Accepted 2/13 and online transcript still shows no return filed :(
Still sitting at the one bar. TT152. Being processed msg. UGH.

[Lili]

My coworker filed 2/9 with both credits, got the “being processed and refund date will be provided msg a week ago, just now at 4:06 pm CT got her deposit. WMR not updated. she normally gets deposits the day before they are set to arrive. Just thought id let yall know. I however am still waiting.

[Amilli87]

I filed and submitted 1/19 it’s now 3/2 says being processed still! Etic and child tax for three kids. Got the letter today 4454c now I’m like what the heck!!! If you don’t receive within 60 days or here from us, wait what! This is crazy someone she’s some light please

[Randall]

@Mamaspadt

We haven’t received any letter just date on hrblock changed from the initial 1/29 to 2/24 and now 2/28. We ordered tax transcripts that we received in the mail today and it had a cycle of 20180705 and the computer offset it and the computer say they owe me exactly what my return is supposed to be. No letters, nothing. Everything looks fine. When we call everything is fine no letters, nothing wrong just told to wait. We called this morning and got a tax advocate assigned to us and we had to fax our stuff for our hardship and they told us they would have something accomplished by Wednesday.

[Christy]

I filed on1/26/18 and got the accepted text the next day. Its now 3/02 and refund yet. The WMR website still shows Topics 152 generic message but i called the IRS on Tuesday and they informed me my refund was selected for review on 2/15 and to allow 45 days for this process to be complete. If its under review shouldn’t WMR update my info to a different topic code. I really need my refund, do any body know of someone who was under review and got their refund in less than 45 days

[Jessrowe93]

Mine still says being processed, but on hrblock under tax history it just says i successfully filed my return(it went from showing file date and accepted dates to just that) any reason why that could be? No letters have came in, i filed 1/25 and was accepted the same day.

[Queenie]

I filed my taxes on Jan 31 and no letter or email from the IRS stating that I owe anything.. Its saying still being processed.. What’s the hold up never had this problem and been using the same company and person to do my taxes for years!! I have bills to pay..

[Hiep Duong]

@Tonya I have had the exact same issue with you. They asked for my 8692 form and 1095A and they said it’ll take from 6-8 weeks to give me my refund from the time they received my response. I submitted it 2 weeks ago and probably they are processing. Idk then! Keep me updated!

[Rachel]

I still don’t see the dates you guys are talking about on the H&R block site. When I log on all mine says is the amount of my refund and date filed which was 1/13. There is no “accepted” date. Where are you guys seeing this?

[MamaSpadt]

@randall have you gotten the 60 day letter as well? My HR Block filing date changed from 2/16 to yesterday 2/28. The TA just keeps hanging up on me when I try and get through. This whole thing is an absolute nightmare!

[Fed up]

My as of date has changed, hopefully I get a ddd date soon.

[B_NAcworth]

@randall *didn’t update. still says 2/19.

[B_NAcworth]

My HRB date didn’t change like yours @Randall. Accepted on 1/25, but filed date is 2/19, did update on yesterday.

Transcripts are N/A for 2017 which tells me I still have NOT even started to be processed per the IRS. Guess I’ll check WMR and my transcripts again tomorrow.

[Lanay]

Does anyone know how long after your file reaches the master file does it take to receive your refund or a ddd???

[Ashley]

@Shallow Waters

Looked this morning. All just the same. Once again. I don’t know why it wouldn’t load last night. I rarely get hopes up anymore so I wasn’t really disappointed. 😂

Maybe between my TA and that FB post both pointing to the 9th, we’ll be in luck? I’m just worried because my WMR hasn’t updated yet. Also, this thing y’all are saying about your taxes being updated on the tax history? Mine still says Jan. And it should be reflected for in Feb? My Fiance had his before Feb 9th and claimed one child. I’m so freaking over this. You can’t even wrap your mind about it All, really.

[ForFucksSakeIRS]

Ok….so today my beautiful blank bullshit account transcript changed my accrued interest/ penalty date from the 12th to the 19th. Everything else: No tax return filed, zeros, HOH has been up since it posted a week or so ago. Any ideas?

Filed 2/12
Accepted 2/12
No change in WMR one bar tt152

[artic.turtle]

It truly is, I haven’t a clue what it all means. Some people are getting so excited that it means they will see an update with DD over the weekend on facebook, but Im here sitting like, watch all the codes fly and letters be sent now that all these backdated filers are getting entered. We’ve been sitting here from tax season opening, and I feel like this non-sense has yet to really begin yet, so I chuckle when I see people complaining when they filed a mere few days ago…..

[Skyler]

So I was finally able to check my transcript online. I have a cycle code of 20180805 and it also has the code 570 with the date of 3-12-18 does anyone have any idea what this means?

[ShallowWaters]

@Dee sadly it probably means that they haven’t even put you into the system for real.

[Dee]

I filed and accepted 2/7 with EIC. Lost bars and never got Path. Today is the first time I ever tried ordering transcripts. It said 2017 N/A or not received or filed. Anyone with experience…can you tell me if I have a chance at updating DDD this weekend? Or just no if my info was blank?

[ShallowWaters]

Saw this on FB:

Kendra Bell: I called them because I filed 1/31. The lady informed me that MAJORITY of the people that claimed any credits were kicked to the side because of those credits. She said they knocked them out of line. She said that they put them back in line and began to process those credits on the 15th. She also said that a lot of people slipped through the cracks and that’s why they have their refunds already before MAJORITY of us. She asked me a couple questions about my previous 2016 return (address, birthday, mother’s maiden name, what was my employer) to pull up my 2017 return and stated that everything looked fine and normal. She said it could take up to 45 days from Feb 15th to get approved. She also stated that it shouldn’t even take 45 days but that’s what they are told just in case. She said they started dropping deposits this week and she said the next big load of deposits will go out the week of March 9th! She said keep checking WMR because it will change and update even though we know sometimes it doesn’t. Hope this information helps!

[ShallowWaters]

@Ashley

So weird…. its not even showing anything for you at all on HRB? What about on WMR? We were accepted at the same time but they didn’t put my on file until 2/27. But someone said your stuff should be released….

This is maddening. I don’t understand any of it anymore.

There is suppose to be a big update in the wee hours of the morning, lets up for something to work out.

[Ashley]

H & R block app says I haven’t even filed for 2017 yet. Maybe system is updating and I too will finally get some good news?

Filed and Accepted 01/23

Processing to Delay

Received letter under review. Wait 60 days.

Got a TA and he said to expect DD by March 9th but my info online hasn’t changed. No bars. No tax topic. Not even refund amount. Sigh. This is crazy. He said all my info matched and didn’t offer any other info.

[ShallowWaters]

@Randall I filed 1/22 accepted 1/23 and then on tax history it shows file date as 2/27

So messed up.

[Randall]

@ shallowwaters

Didn’t yours change from 1/25 to 2/19 to begin with. You had an earlier date than I did to begin with.

[IRSsucks]

Got the two-lined message on WMR, no bars, no tax topic, but refund amount still shows. Filed turbotax 1/17, no EITC or PATH. CA refund received 1/23. Federal return received&accepted 1/17, bars disappeared 1/22. ID verify letter 4883c dated 2/14, received 2/17, successfully verified after calling 2/20.

Only difference from last year’s filing is marital change. Now single:) don’t want to turn this into a dating site, but ladies…I am available! No kids, no strings, age 43 lol. Anyways, enough comic relief…

No updates, no letters, no nothing.

Im chillin. I’m pissed off, but I’m not bothering calling. What’s it gonna do?

Ordered return transcripts for ’18 on 2/24, I’ll update when they arrive, or if anything else changes.

I ordered trans before ID verify letter, they were blank, and arrived after the 4883c haaaaa.

Stay peaceful y’all, life ALWAYS flows

[ShallowWaters]

@Randall After I read your post I went and did just that. Thus far mine is still showing 2/27 but it took yours four days to change so I will be checking it every day starting now.

I don’t understand this…what is going on this year? This is a nightmare.

[WaitGame]

@PAB EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID IS EXACTLY MY SITUATION FILED (2/15) ONE BAR NO CHANGE TOPIC 152

[Randall]

@shallowwaters

I am not lying we went and looked today and it was changed till yesterday. Y’all need to go and see if yours changed.

[PAB]

I filed and was accepted on the 15th of Feb and am still stuck on WE HAVE RECEIVED YOUR TAC RETURN AND IT IS BEING PROCESSED! One bar with no change since day 1. This is crazy! Out of Washington state.

[ShallowWaters]

@Randall Please tell you are joking…. I just make a snide comment that, that is what would happen next…read the post below yours….WTF

[Randall]

Hey y’all!! Juat to let you know our filing date changed again from 2/24 to 2/28. Original date filed and accepted 1/29. What is going on???

[ShallowWaters]

@artic.turtle

Holy crap! This is so crazy!! Next thing you know people will be posting that the new filing date changed again!!!! SMH

This is all nonsense….honestly, what is next?

[artic.turtle]

Well i’ve literally been checking non- stop since @Randall had mentioned the issues with H and R Block, and up to a little over an hour ago still no change. After viewig the feed of this site on Favebook i saw several people posting like crazy that there filing date changed on h and r block mere minutes ago, so i checked again amd sure enough, my sent and accepted date is 01/31/18 but under tax history it finally changed to todays date 03/01/18!!!! Finally something! I doubt I will see any chance of DD this weekend, but atleast I know its been touched finally! It will be interesting to see what comes next! Fingers and toes crossed for all!

[Omgggggggggggge]

I kept getting emails from Taxslayer while “still processing” that if irs didn’t send refund by certain date they will debit my account…I went ahead and paid the filing fee so now will I get my deposit from them or the irs?

[Omgggggggggggge]

I only checked at 12pm est on break at work, hope I get ddd like tomorrow lol

[Koolaidpuff]

Filed 1/27 accepted 1/29. Have been able to order transcripts since late last week. Everything shows as there and got my state refund. Account transcripts show a processing date of 3/5, but got a review letter today dated the 26th telling me to do nothing and follow up in 60 days. Anyone else have something similar? Any ideas what’s going on?

[ShallowWaters]

@artic.turtle

Well, I was told I was under review when I had not even been processed! I was told this a week ago now and they just put in their system 2 days ago. So go figure! I think a lot of ours is just sitting there…in some nameless bin collecting dust never to be seen again.

I just read on FB about someone that didn’t get last years tax return until 2/2/18! and then got this years return 6 days ago! GAH

And others last year never even saw there returns. The government just kept them. Period. FULL STOP.

This is insane.

[artic.turtle]

@shallowwater,

I looked under tax history. When I first login in, it says sent 01/31/18 and accepted 01/31/18, then when I click on myblock and go to tax history for my current filing it says filing date 01/31/18, so I don’t know what to think……. Im so lost by all this…….. I mean is mine seriously just sitting completly untouched? and if so how did a return never received trigger a 60 day review?

[ShallowWaters]

@artic.turtle when you went on to H&R block did you look at your tax history? It took me ages to find where that was and when I did…it showed a different date. I know you said, yours stayed the same, I was just wondering where you were looking. Because when I pull up my account, and look at status it shows when I filed and when I was accepted…but when I go under tax history, well that is another ball game and shows it wasn’t filed until 2/27

Just curious

[artic.turtle]

Hi everyone,
I originally posted and still have no chanes to report. I filed and was accelted same day with h and R Block, I know some have metioned their filing date has changed with H and R Block and as of today mine still remains 01/31. I too received that 60 do nothing review letter dated 02/12 and also received blank transcripts dated 02/16 since I am unable to view online and havent bothered requesting them again. However what I was curious about is after reviewing my blank transcripts , that states no record of return and has all 0’s theres a date next to all those zeros of March 5,2018. Does that date mean anything? Like were we held for our credits and nothing can be processed till that date, and even though my transcripts are blank this date signifies something? or am I just reaching at this point?? I just dont understand the purpose of this date if there no record of my return and its all zeroed out and blank…. Thoughts?? I am weekly but can almost be certain no updates are coming my way this Saturday…….Blah! Everytime I think maybe I will just call the IRS, I read everyones posts and all there different reaponses received from calls, that I convince myself it seems to be only more trouble than good at this point…..

[Rachel]

@omgggggggee is that what it said this morning? They don’t update during the day do they?

[ShallowWaters]

@Omgggggggggggge

Means you should be getting a DDD soon….

[Omgggggggggggge]

My wmr updated from still being processed to being processed today, what does it mean?

[Ken]

For everyone who received the 4464c letter. I talked to some from the IRS and this lady was nice and provide as much detail about my refund as she can see. For us that got the letter before February 20th there was a code put in on February 26th to stop any refund payment from coming out to us. She said some got the letter because there are some errors like child support, more then 1 W2 etc. And other received it because the IRS is just backed up plain and simple. She informed me that even she has gotten a letter and have to wait as well but by her being aware of this she was prepared already. I hate to be the person to bare bad news because I want my money just like all of you and I only have 1 W2 from the military for the last 11 years and no changes. I like to wishful think and I hope that everyone around the world get there money. Just know we all have to wait regardless some longer then others. It is what it us.

[Rachel]

@SoMad maybe your W2 was different from your paystub? I filed off my last paystub too and when I got my W2 turns out my income and taxes for the year were less than what I had reported so technically I should be getting back more. The research I did said once the return was accepted and I got my refund THEN I could file an amendment. I don’t know if the IRS will automatically catch and fix mathematical errors that are in the tax payers favor? I haven’t gotten a letter or anything so I’m still not sure if thats what the problem is or not. I have 3 kids and claimed two this year so I also claimed EIC.

[SoMad]

I used turbo tax and my last pay stub and filed early since I am going through a divorce and needed to claim both my children. I am still tech married but filed HOH since I have provided all of my children’s support in a 10 month period and for the first year in 10 years, I am eligible for EIC. Because I filed that way, it drastically reduced my income from last year. My taxes were accepted on 01/23/18. My bar disappeared and has said it was processing for probably a month. I received my state taxes back and figured I get the federal around the 27th or 28th. Today I went ahead and called the IRS and was told I was in review with a 60 day period. Nothing else is needed from me at this time but may be needed for future. I received my letter today. I might not know anything or see a return until April 15th.

[Sweetpea]

I just received my 4464c letter

[Tonya]

I filed on 2/4 was accepted on 2/4 and had one bar until the dreaded your tax return is still being processed a refund date will be given when available. still show ss on the left and refund amount.

Well today in the mail I got an irs letter!
Requesting form Form 8962
and Form 1095A

this had to do with health insurance marketplace. Early in the year I went on a plan for three months and never got a Form 1095A in the mail and honestly I had forgotten I even signed up as I got married and went on my husbands plan. This would be my overlook, as I should have remembered even if it was for three months . So they need to figure out how much I have to pay back of the subsidy which ended up being 750.00. Again my own fault for overlooking it. The letter says once they get my Forms it will be six to eight weeks and I will have my refund.

Just thought I would share in case someone else has the same issues I have.

[john]

@Lanay nah they just said there was an error proccessing my return and i asked them if that meant the error was corrected, which she told me yes it was. i asked if i should anticipate a letter or notice in the mail and she said nope, just wait it out up to four weeks from filing date. fingers crossed that she wasnt just feeding me a line of bs

[Neednumber]

What number have you guys called and what numbers did you press to talk to someone. The system routes me to the automated or hangs up on me if I don’t pick an menu number.

[rick]

The sad thing is, I worked my ass of at two jobs all year to support my wife and daughter, paid my taxes, and this is the crap I get..just like you guys, I’m sure you all desperately need this money like I do. Im not calling the IRS again because they have given me nothing but BS half-answers all three times i spoke w them before.

[Rachel]

I never got a letter either.

[Tryinpatience]

I filed on 1/24 and was accepted on 1/25. On 2/14, I got a letter asking for form 8962 and a copy of my 1095-A. I faxed it out the same day. The same day, I also lost my bars but still had tt 152 and my expected refund amount. Fast forward to yesterday, 2/28, and the expected amount disappeared. I have not called the irs at all. Everyone is getting the run around. I’m not for it. I do feel like I need to call to confirm they got my fax because it must be gotten within 20 days. Supposedly, some peoples faxes are getting lost and people have to fax again. I honestly believe the irs is so overwhelmed that they give the easiest responses possible. So anyway, I am waiting it out, I think, and will just drive myself crazy with these forums until either WMR updates or I receive a letter :/

[rick]

hey guys, no I live in NE so we didnt have any hurricane relief or anything. I did claim EIC and child tax credit

[Nicole]

I didn’t get a letter. And mine was sent to review on the 15. They said there was no indication of a letter sent or being sent. They also asked me to be patient. So I’m trying just that. :)

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

Rick, I didn’t get a letter either. Do you live in a state impacted by a hurricane and claim EITC?

[rick]

did anybody else NOT get a letter? they told me i was under review, but she said she did not see any letters.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

I was assigned a Tax Advocate this morning and my initial conversation during the intake process provided me with some information. I have two issues…one is that the employer I stopped working for before Christmas of 2016 reported wages for 2017 that was between $300 and $400 but they never sent me a W2 for it and since I didn’t work for them at all in 2018 I had no idea I had income from them to report.

The other issue I think could be related to much of the ridiculous number of “random reviews.” I live in an area impacted by a hurricane. My income was less this year. There is an alternative method to figuring the amount you get for EITC IF you live in an area impacted by a hurricane and you earned less than last year. This will check to see if your EITC amount is lower than last year and if it is you are supposed to receive the amount you got LAST year. Mine was lower, so Turbo Tax software adjusted my EITC using that alternative method. The IRS system kicked my refund out because it found an error on my EITC amount.

So…what I think is happening is that people whose EITC was figured using that alternative method triggered the hold for review. I have no idea what error code that is, but I know for certain that part of why my refund got kicked out of the system is because my EITC total does not match what the IRS systems thinks it’s supposed to be.

[Lanay]

@John

Did they ever have you under review or sent you a letter or just processing?

[john]

So I just called them because my returns been processing since being accepted on feb 1, they said that there was an issue with the processing but everything is fine now and to expect my refund four weeks from the original filling date. As annoying as this has been at least it’s almost over. Hang in there people

[lee lee]

@chill im praying your right I have still processing a date will be ava. soon with tax topic 152. no letter have been sent out the irs said if they need anything they will send me a letter what I don’t understand is why some people says review and some don’t but they are telling every one the same thing

[Rachel]

This is just stupid. I am feeling hopeless. The IRS can do whatever the hell they want. We are all just numbers to them. Calling isn’t going to do any good. In fact they probably flag our accounts the more we call and pushes it back even longer! Was praying SO hard that I would wake up and check and there would be an approval his morning. NOTHING. I give up.

[Lanay]

@ Ericka V

I called and spoke to a little rude lady at the IRS I advised her about the unpostable account but she said there is nothing she can do I have to just wait the 60 days. I’ve been sent out a transcript and confused on how if my refund isn’t processed and she stated you don’t get transcripts unless return is completed.

[rick]

I have been waiting for over a month, stuck at processing hell. I have called a couple of times, and have been told there is no letter, but I am under a 45 day review. I have no idea if I am supposed to verify something or what? My family is dying for this money so badly

[Lanay]

@ Ericka V

What does it mean when you only have a cycle date of (20180705) with no dates or codes? I was trying to figure out what my ddd would be based off that cycle but I have no codes and this transcript looks different. Once transcripts are created are they done over after being sent out?

[still waiting]

I filed and accepted on jan 23rd waited till feb 15 still nothing had no bars on wmr called on feb 22nd said waiting on letter to verify my identity got letter that sat. called to verify on feb26th wmr still say still processing your refund no bars. If you verify your identity when and did you get an update on wmr or have received refund or dd and when how long did it take? irs please just give me a dd!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lanay]

@ Ericka V.

Thank you thank you thank you!!! Im about to call them.

[moni]

Filed 2/15 accepted same day, I am still sitting at one BAR with code 152

[SoAnnoyedAlready]

I have went on forums from last year and a lot of people were in the same boat as we are this year. Some people didnt receive their return till June.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

Update on my situation…I called a local Tax Advocate office yesterday morning and left a voicemail and got a call back this morning. The person I talked to set me up with a Tax Advocate case, gave me a case number and took down all the info. Finally he was able to tell me what is going on! At the end of 2016 before Christmas I went on medical leave from a job when I got admitted to the hospital for a possible heart attack. I ended up leaving the job and didn’t think I had gotten any pay in 2017 since I didn’t work at all for them in 2017 AND I never received a W2 from them. In fact, all I got was a 1095-C from them…on Monday of this week and I NEVER had insurance with them at all. So, a company I didn’t work for at all in 2017 claimed wages they paid me without sending me a W2. Since I didn’t get a W2 and didn’t work for them at all in 2017 I didn’t realize I had $300-$400 more income. There was also supposedly an issue with my EIC amount. When I first filled out the form the amount was less but because I live in a place impacted by Hurricane Irma the TT software made an automatic adjustment that people from natural disaster zones are supposed to get to let them claim the amount they got last year. So, those two things are what kicked my return out of the automatic system. So, for those waiting…if you live in an area impacted by a natural disaster that could be why you were tossed into review. Thankfully I now have a Tax Advocate who will be calling me no later than 6 days from now.

[WaitGame]

Exactly it’s people who’s filing illegally getting theres back fast a hell I’m pissed TH off right now I had no change or anything this year and I’m still sitting here waiting I don’t want to WAIT no damn 21 days ughhh…I NEED A DRINK!!!!!

Did anyone else get any message like this yesterday?

[Jennifer]

had this ever happened before where this many people were “still processing”

[Skyler]

Erika I haven’t revieced a letter and the lady that I talked to on the phone told me she didn’t see any letters on my account. So if I called back and told them what you said to say would it still work since I never got a letter to ID verify?

[Jeannine]

Erika ,, I called twice the first time they asked me a million questions like my dependents info my info amounts from last yr ,then they said they were behind and I’d get a letter by March 5 th which I got 2 days later which was 2 days ago ,both my transcripts were mailed but I called again when I got the letter the lady said I basically had to wait 60 days from the letter date to call back but it could show up anytime . But my stuff disappeared just says processing on WMR , so what should I do ??????

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

Erika…I spent over 6 hours on hold with a transfer pin and referral to a tax advocate because I have an extreme hardship case…my car has been broken down for a month and I drive Uber for work so I can’t work until it’s fixed. My car is about to be repo-ed, utilities turned off, already lost my phone and I can’t pay my rent so I’ll be evicted too. I also have a disabled child. I filed on 2/1 and have talked to 4 people…two said they show a letter and 2 said they didn’t. All 3 times they transferred me with that transfer pin I was stuck on hold (borrowed phone) for 2 hours and 15 minutes and the system hung up on me without reaching anyone. This has happened 3 times. I called my local Tax advocate office and only got a recording and I left the number of the phone I borrowed for a call back…supposed to be within 24 hours. Any advice on what to say or ask for?

[Ericka V.]

I made a few spelling errors because it’s literally 12:39 AM and I’m using voice to text on my iPhone LOL but ask any questions if you can’t figure it out Haha

[Ericka V.]

So I decided this year would be the first year I would kind of give people insight on what really goes on in the IRS office from experience. When you lose your bars and you get the message that it says your tax return is still being processed and a update will be available blah blah blah, that means that your tax return has been flagged and is under review. When you were under review that means that your tax return is now “on posterboar so I decided this year would be the first year I would kind of give people insight on what really goes on in the IRS office from experience. When you lose your bars and you get the message that it says your tax return is still being processed and a update will be available blah blah blah, that means that your tax return has been flagged and is under review. When you were under review that means that your tax return is now “unpostable” And it has been kicked out the IRS master file which is the system that does the automatic processing within 21 days. They will wait at least one week to 12 days to generate a letter. Then you will have to wait until they decide to send it out, keep in consideration to do this because they do not want you to verify too soon and come back into their workload in the system. And it has been kicked out the IRS master file which is the system that does the automatic processing within 21 days. They will wait at least one week to 12 days to generate a letter. Then you will have to wait until they decide to send it out, keep in consideration to do this because they do not want you to verify too soon and come back into their workload in the system. They kind of look at it as one less return to worry about. That is why they do not allow you to verify your identification unless you have that letter because everything goes by a certain amount of weeks. After you get your letter and you verify your identification, there is two screens. One screen is when they reversed the code that was put in the system that flagged you. Whoever verifies your identification now puts your code in the second screen and in basic terms all it does is put a certain amount of weeks in the system to hold your return until it sends it off to a different location so that they can do something called “clear the unpostable”. Here is the secret, your tax return cannot be put back into processing unless you’re unpostable status has been cleared. When they tell you that they are putting you back into processing after they verify you, what they really mean is they are putting a code in the computer to put a hold on your return for let’s say eight weeks and then it will send it off to the location to then clear the unpostable. So after that eight week someone will manually go in by batch and just clear the unpostable batch. By law, how the IRS masterfile works is as soon as your return is closed and cleared in the unpostable status, The system automatically processes it and issue the refund within seven days! So now you know, the nine week wait. That they tell you is only because they have to give the system and masterfile time to process the incoming new returns and they don’t want to overburden the fifth tim The system automatically processes it and issue the refund within seven days! So now you know, the nine week wait. That they tell you is only because they have to give the system and masterfile time to process the incoming new returns and they don’t want to overburden the System. Now take what I told you and take common sense with it, call the identification department and tell them that you reached out to the taxpayer advocacy group and they told you that your tax return is not closed in the unpostable status and that they do not deal with accounts that are not Postable. The representative will be shocked that you know that term and probably figure that somebody from IRS tax advocacy really did tell you this, they will put you on hold and they will clear the unpostable and tell you that they cleared it or sometimes they might go back and say oh you still have to wait nine weeks. Usually they tell you that they cleared it because they know you’re not naïve at this point. Within seven days the masterfile will approve your return even if it has errors on it because they just forced the clearance and you will be given a direct deposit date. Most likely at this point your tracker will not update and we will see the deposit before You see the update so check your accounts. You’re welcome!

[Shay]

I have a cycle days 20180705 and a processing date of 3/5…what does that mean??? And I have a 570 code too.

How are people calculating their DDDs?

[Steph]

Received a letter from the IRS stating that they have to thoroughly review my federal refund. First time this has ever happened to me. I filed on the 26th of January and the IRS accepted my return January 29th. I was told that I didn’t need to do anything as of right now. It could take up to 60 days. I already received my state return. I guess if I didn’t file so early than maybe I wouldn’t have gotten that letter. Also, my bars disappeared after a week before the processing notification that I get on WMR. Hopefully they will speed up the process because I have a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks .

[Ineedmymoney]

I efiled on Feb. 5 it’s been a lil over 21 days now and my status still says “still processing” and still no status bar or an estimated date on my refund…why?!

[Rachel]

Good Afternoon. I E-Filed early on 1/19. I received at 4883C letter last week and called to verify. Blogs were mentioning that many folks who did the ID verify last week received their DDD on 2/28/2019 ( Today), alas I am not one of them. I called the IRS transcript line to order this years tax returns but needed to speak to a person, if the transcripts were blank I did not want to order and save a tree. The nice young lady on the phone looked up my information and I was told my return is still pending ( they would show return not filed) so I guess no movement. I filed early, have ID verified, and have a standard tax return. When you think about it the IRS is still using at 1970 mainframe computer to keep track of things. I have confidence my return will process eventually, hopefully within 6 weeks from ID verify date. This is my tax story for this year, i’ll update when I receive an update on Where is my Refund.

[THANKS]

I FILED ON 2/05/18 MY RETURN WAS ACCEPTED BOTH STATE & FEDERAL ON 2/06/18. ESTIMATED DDD WAS 02/26/2018
HAS BEEN OVER 21 DAYS
*BARS DISAPPEARED
*I HAVE NOT RECIEVED A REFUND AND MY WMR STATES “STILL PROCESSING”.
I CALLED IRS AND ASKED WHY I HAVE NOT RECIEVED MY REFUND AND I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD BE GETTING A LETTER IN THE MAIL. STATING THAT I NEED TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION FOR FORM 1095A.

I LOGGED BACK INTO TURBOTAX AND INPUTTED THE INFO. ON THIS FORM AND NOW IT IS PROMPTING ME TO PAY BACK MONEY FROM HAVING MARKETPLACE INSURANCE(OBAMA CARE) FOR 2 MONTHS. (I WAS LAID OFF AND ON UE FOR 2 MONTHS) SO I NEEDED TO GET HEALTH INSURANCE THROUGH COVERED CALIFORNIA.

I KNOW OWE THE IRS $556 BECAUSE OF THIS AND HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I GET THIS LETTER IN THE MAIL AND I WAS TOLD THEY CANT QUOTE ME ON HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE FOR IT ALL TO PROCESS.

[Rachel]

I just went on the Wheres my refund facebook page and there are so many people dealing with the same thing with their refunds. We are just the tip of the iceberg! I can’t even worry about it anymore. I guess whenever it comes..it comes. Totally out of our hands at this point. We are just numbers in a system and calling them over and over like I have been doing isn’t going to speed up a darn thing!

[tiptop]

@chill not sure what to do I filed on 11th still has one bar and when I called they say nothing but wait till after 3rd of march and call back my daughter and brother did theres the same day as me and received theres on the 22nd .

[Shortcake]

I received a letter in the mail on yesterday 2/27 dated for 2/26 stating that my EIC has been reinstated nothing that I needed to do at this time should receive refund within 6weeks. What I’m Leary about is I never lost it. I only have one child. This shit crazy

[Rachel]

@chill I pray you are right as well. I just don’t want to get my hopes up and be disappointed. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

[Sweetpea]

@chill
I pray u are right

[Chill]

@sweetpea it’s more than likely you still will alot of people received letters and still got a DD on the 22

[Chill]

@lanay thanks Hun and yes 3am SATURDAY morning check after then and then do your happy dance

[MrsSmall16]

I received my transcripts yesterday. I have a cycle date of 20180703 with a processing date of 3/5/18. From what I’ve been reading, that means we should start seeing some changes this weekend? Anyone else with the same thing? I do have the 570 code, but I ordered it on 2/19, so credits were being held. I can’t order them again unfortunately for 2 weeks. Hopefully my money will be here before then. Fingers crossed.

[Rachel]

@pink1402 was the mathematical error on your end? I am afraid I may have an error on my return but everything I read online said to wait until the IRS accepts it and you get your refund and THEN you can amend it. That you can not amend while it is still processing. What were you told?

[Pink1402]

I filed my taxes on the 19th of Jan and received a mesg from HRB indicating that the IRS accepted my return. Around the 29th of Jan I was at one bar then around Feb 9th that went away and was updated to the PATH mesg. Feb 15th new mesg We have received your return and its still being processed. Feb 20th new mesg We have received you return and its “being” processed. Called the IRS for an explanation and was told that this was due to having EIC and that I would need to wait until the 27th. Received a letter from the IRS on the 26th indicating that I was flagged for review, they informed me that I didn’t need to do anything and that within 45 days from the 14th of Feb I would receive my return. OMG! I call my local TAS Taxpayer Advocate Services and they took over for me. Come to find out that they was a mathematical error and I now have to amend my return! Great! Luckily once TAS gets involved you get your funds quicker especially if your facing financial hardship. 3 weeks from the 26th of Feb and I should receive my DD. Sorry this is so long. But try calling TAS if you fell under review and the IRS is giving up the 45 days crap!

[Lanay]

@chill

Congratulation on starting your new business much success……Saturday seems so far away… Now do you mean it will update 3am going into Saturday morning??

[Sweetpea]

@chill
I called n under review n said I should get a letter 4464c n mail and said it will be 45 to 60 days so u think I will still get a date

[Sweetpea]

@chill
I called n under review n said I should get a letter 4464c n mail and said it will be 45 to 60 days so u think I will still get a date

[Chill]

Trust me guys majority of us will be approved come Saturday , the wait is almost over ,Im starting a business with my refund and I’ve been anxious to order my inventory and get my logo made ,so I understand , but be anxious for nothing and for all things give thanks it’s coming, now once everyone gets their DDD SATURDAY comment @ me and say chill said it first !!!!

[Abby]

@BBHMM

I agree with you. A lot of people I know have received theirs. I filed with TaxAct and this is the first year I have had any problems. I filed back on 2/2, accepted 2/3, and still nothing.

[BBHMM]

Sorry meant around the same time as me, which was 1/24

[BBHMM]

I was thinking the same thing. Who or how does the system determine which refunds need to
be manually entered, under review or whatever and which ones aren’t? I know several ppl who have filed after me and they received their money right after the 2/15th update. Some with double the amount of what I’m getting back!! This is some BS!!!

[Lanay]

@Chill

I sholl hope that’s true because this is tooooo much! I would be fine with a ddd of 6th or 7th!

[Candy]

They not manually doing s#!t all they had to do was put it back in system smh.. if that’s the case every one will be manually entered idc what new tax law came in affect they knew this they should’ve never accepted until Feb 8 smh

[Pati3nc3]

My return was accepted on02/02/18 says HRB I received a letter yesterday in the mail that said my income, my credits, my deductions, or business accounts need to be verified and it would be 60 days before I could call and get an answer. I did claim EITC, the only difference on this return from others in the pas was I claimed my tuition I paid to the college and my monies I paid on my student loan.

[annoyed]

I filed on January 29th, and my status still says “your return is being processed”…ugh

[Good Lawd]

I filed on 2/15 via Turbo Tax with Sch C income and deductions and EIC. I received my email stating that they were received and accepted on the same day. WMR did not reflect that they were there or have any update until 2/20. I believe that it took so long to update and show that the IRS had them because of President’s Day. So I am now 1 week from the time they began to show they had them.

My message on WMR now says that it is processing and refunds are issued within 21 days. Along with the Tax Topic 152 and all info showing on the left of the screen.

2 questions:

1. Do I begin counting on the day that the email reflects them received and accepted or the date that WMR actually updated?

It has been in this state for the past few days. I am just unsure if it will reflect a problem immediately or if it takes an extended period of time to show other tax topics/error codes. Thank you in advance for taking them time to read and answer.

2. How long does it take to reflect an error or under review?

[April]

My sister filed he block all credits and got hers back on the 22
In under review. So I don’t believe. It
Is he block

[Chele]

I am in the same boat my friends. I filed 1/29. Accepted and then poof! Nothing except processing…I called and am under “review” and I could get my return anytime between now and 4/2…I did receive a letter stating they received my request for my transcripts. That’s it.

[Rachel]

ALSO, I just talked with a friend who filed jan 18th with turbo tax and she claimed EIC and she got her refund already so now I am questioning that its a software issue.

[Rachel]

@taxturtle I have called 4 times and they all tell me the same thing. Under review and no letter sent out as of yet. Why are some people being told they need ID verification and other people there is no explanation? Each time I have called they put me on a 15 min hold to “look up my account”,. I mean how hard is it to find out and just tell us what the heck the deal really is. The people who work there I swear are useless.

[Randall]

@sarahjanes82 and @latasha

I do not know about Turbo Tax. I filed mine online at H&R Block i have provided the instructions on how to find the new date on hr block only. I do not know about TT. Maybe setup the same way. If you are able to get your tax transcripts then more than likely you have a new updated date. I would try to maneuver through th TT website and see if you can see your new date. Check my post below on that situation and see if maybe thst will help you.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION:

So my WMR situation was similar to many of yours. Everything looked fine till about the 15th bars disappeared and it was “Still Processing” My information was all still available on the left hand side and I have had TT 152.

I contacted the IRS today and got connected to a very kind woman who researched my return in about 20 minutes including the time to verify myself. She said I was randomly flagged because of my early filing for the Tax Protection Verification. And that within 2 weeks I would receive a letter in the mail and once I called or went to a local government branch to verify my identity it would move to the next stages and my return would given to me within 6 weeks.

I would say that if you are at a total loss as to what might be happening that this may be a larger portion of people than we think. She said that there was a mass flagging for early filers this year and that many people are going to have to IDverify.

I think its atrocious that they will hold our returns for 6 weeks after…but what can you do.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

If the issue with so many people is as simple as software not updating and it will be fixed without us having to do anything then they need to COMMUNICATE that to people so they stop calling wondering what they need to do. SO much for the Tax Payer Bill of Rights…they’ve violating those in multiple ways.

@randall

I had went through turbo tax, and my taxes were excepted by the IRS on january 22nd, is there a way i can check on turbo tax about the “new” accepted date? Thanks

[Rachel]

@chill I hope you are right. Although at this point I am not holding my breath!

[Chill]

Just chill we all will be updated Friday night check after 3am DDD 6th or 7th

[Sarahjanes82]

@Randall, am i able to check my history on TurboTax? Also I am able to order my refund and account transcripts, does that mean that it is finished processing?

[Randall]

@arctic.turtle

I have filed Head of Household also and the EIC credits. Same as you. Nobody will tell you the truth unless you feed them information and ask the right questions then they will finally come out and tell you the truth. That’s the reason for abundance of people getting reviewed this year. For the majority this is the problem mainly for early filers before the 2/8 change over. H&R Block told us yesterday they thought their software was ready for the tax updates but they weren’t so before it could be fixed all the early filers got screwed. It doesn’t matter what filing status of if you filed eic or any of that. It mainly has to do with the date you filed your return. It took us having to talk to a supervisor at block to finally get told and of course we asked about the new updated filing date and she had to tell us.

[B_NAcworth]

@Nicole did you ask the IRS if your return was manually being entered?

Of course they aren’t being honest, they don’t have to unless someone files legal action against them.

I know what I was told by the IRS rep and what my HRB email shows. Then I also know what I was told by the HRB rep.

If you don’t believe @Randall then that’s fine too. If you don’t believe me…that fine too. Just keep calling and you will surely get some letter.

I called at my 21 days and then at my 30 days. Now that I know what is really happening I’ll be sitting quietly and will update when my WMR updates.

Filed with HRB on 1/19.
Accepted on 1/25
Bars Disappeared on 2/10
Message says still processing with TT codes. But all of my personal info and Refund Amount are showing.
HRB Filing Date is now: 2/19.

Asked by the IRS to wait “6 weeks” from 1/29 which will be 3/12.

Was told I won’t get a letter or have anything to do, just that it hadn’t been processed yet but it should be within the next week and I should receive my refund by 3/12.

Hope everyone’s situation gets resolved.

[artic.turtle]

By no means was I implying or discrediting your information. I actually hope for my sake its true, because a date change would imply movement, in turn meaning processing. My biggest confusion now is why did i receive a 60 day review/do nothing letter if they haven’t even looked at my return? i filed EIC, child care credit and HOH as I always do, the only thing i can think of is with this looming path law and etc. they needed a delay for my return…. What I also don’t understand is what is the difference between the 45 day no letter review vs. receiving a letter for 60 days do nothing review??? I have the still processing message with TT 152 and all info on side, never received pth message and flipped to that from the original processing message.

[Hurry]

Still no changes

[Nicole]

@randall we filed same day. When I called Irs and the tax place they said it was nothing like what you are saying. That’s just for HRblock and TurboTax.

[Abby]

@Randall does this reply to people who received the 4464C Form?

[Nicci]

Anyone know if this applies to people who filled early with turbo tax? Mine was accepted on Jan 24 but Is still saying processing. I called irs this morning and was told that I was under a random review and to look for a notice in the mail. They didn’t say when to expect a refund.

[Lanay]

@Randall

Now that you have been accepted on 2/25 have you received a ddd as of yet or still waiting? Sorry if you have said that I haven’t seen it?

[Rachel]

@randall but I got the PATH message a few weeks ago. Then it disappeared after the 15th. Wouldn’t that indicate that they have started processing it if they new I claimed EIC?

[Randall]

Yes ma’am. Like I said mine was filed and accepted by the irs on 1/29 but now when I finally got down there to actually look more in depth on the advice from others my new date after the irs finally manually put it in was 2/24. Almost a month later. Thats whay everybody’s bars on the WMR website disappeared. In all my years the bars have never disappeared but Congress put this in on 2/8 if I would have knpwn this I wouldn’t have filed so early!

[Rachel]

@randall, hmmm. So when you finally get a new date is that a good sign that its finally in the system? God this could take forEVER!

[Randall]

@shallowwaters

Login, click person icon, go to my block, scroll down and click view history, choose the year and scroll down to view the filing date. Go to hr block also to find out if your date is actually changed it will say your original date up front but you have to look more into it. If they have got to yours to manually process you will have a new date. This applies to all early filers.

[Randall]

@rachel and @arctic.turtle your date is still the same because they haven’t manually processed your return as of yet. You will get a new date. I promise.

[Lanay]

I filed on 1/29/2018 accaepted same day, Had one bar there for after stated that we have recevied your refund it has been accepted.I then called back after the 15th and was told that my returned looked fine just because of (PATH) which i did add the credits I was by law on hold until 2/15/2018. Stated that the IRS had to wait on my W2 to verify my info and it all checked out advised me to just keep checking my where my refund. I then stated noticing that ppl who filed after me stated receiving funds and ddds. I called the IRS on 2/27/2018 and was advised that i was selected to have my review really looked over line by line. Rep stated that i would receive a letter in the mail that was sent on 2/15 advising me that i need to allow (60 DAYS) for processing. The only thing i didnt new this year was add my newborn born in 2017 and i asked them did i need to send his info in she stated “NO” they will contact ssn office if needed. Told me it was nothing I could do but just wait. I then called back on 2/28/2018 and stated to ask more questions because they are telling us different stuff and reading these post makes me wonder more and more. I just really want to know if it will really be 60 days or anytime soon since they just messed up and didnt have the returns reviewed by the hold date as promised for (21 DAYS)

[Rachel]

Btw, my H&R Block file date has not changed. Same as it was the day I filed.

[Rachel]

Same boat here too! Filed and accepted super early with H&R Block in the “test batch” around 1/22. I am also in review with no explanation and no letter. Ugh!

[B_NAcworth]

I am reposting the email I got from HRBlock. What @Randall is saying is true. I don’t know him/her but I do know what the IRS told me and what my HRB “My Block” date states. If you choose not to believe him or me…so be it…but keep calling and asking until you get an answer..

However, if you filed early, have not received a letter and have a different filing date, call the IRS and they tell you that your return had to be “manually entered” then this is why…

1.) You have no bards
2.) Your return probably hasn’t even started being processed and thus n/a on your transcripts
3.) The “still processing” message of delay

I received this email on 1/20 the day after I file don 1/19. Then got an acceptance email and ID on 1/25 out of no where.

On 2/10, my bars disappeared shortly after the 2/8 budget approval came in. I’ve been in a “still processing” state since and my filed date now shows 2/19 with HRB. I don’t have EITC/ACTC and my filing status is Single.

I’ve called the IRS twice and was told I don’t have to do anything but that my return had to be “manually entered” and to wait 6 weeks from 1/29 and I should have my “refund by 3/12/2018”. I am not counting on that date…but that will be the 6 weeks.

There was an issue and has nothing to do with PATH but more Schedule A filers…that’s why WE haven’t gotten letters for review, because WE are NOT in review. Just having to be manually processed and will most likely get larger refunds than anticipated.

Email:

“Your return includes Schedule A: Itemized Deductions and included medical expenses.

During our annual e-file testing with the IRS, you might have received an email (or will receive one soon), telling you that your return was rejected and that you’ll need to print and mail it. Or, you might see a similar message after signing in to your account.

Please ignore any previous message you received. Your return was rejected incorrectly.

Your return is in “pending” status and hasn’t been rejected by the IRS. Congress recently lowered the threshold for the medical expense deduction from 10% of your AGI to 7.5%, which means you might be able to get a bigger refund (or owe less tax) this year. So, we’re holding your return until the IRS updates its system.

Once the IRS updates its system to reflect the lower threshold, we’ll email you again with instructions on how to file again to take advantage of these changes. Please wait until you hear from us — you won’t be able to e-file again until IRS system changes have been made.

If you decide to print and mail your return, you’ll need to wait for the IRS to accept it (in approximately 6-8 weeks). Then, you’ll need to file an amendment to see if you are due a larger refund (or owe less tax).

Thanks for choosing H&R Block. We appreciate your business, and apologize for any inconvenience.”

[artic.turtle]

@randall

You say this applies to all early filers before 02/08? I filed and was accepted on 01/31 with H and R Block and about a week or so a go received the 60 day /do nothing now review letter, and also received blank transcripts in the mail this past friday, stating no record of return received. If this h and r Block thing was true, why are both my dates still 01/31, but even more confusing how can i receive a review letter, if they supposedly have no record of my return? Im so confused.

[Omgggggggggggge]

Anybody have the number so I can get my transcripts faxed?

[Kasey]

Mine says still being processed with tt 152, the amount is not showing on the side anyone know why this could be happening?

[Randall]

Everyone read my post below. But this is only true for the early filers.

@Nicole did you file before your sister? This software update only applies to the early filers. Congress set up these new tax updates on 2-8. If you filed before then the IRS had to go back and manually file everyone that filed before 2-8 return. Like I filed 1/29 and was accepted the same day but now at h&r block it says now mile file date is 2/24. Almost right at a month late. That’s how long long it took for the software update and then them manually inputing the info. That’s the reason everyone is still in review with no letters being sent or anything.

[Theresa]

Omg I thought I was the only one going threw this.I dont understand why they not giving us no explanation. People be depending on their money. How can they expect someone to wait 45-60 days.

[Bianca]

I called to see if I can apply for hardship this morning with a tax advocate. I filed on 1/31/2018 and was accepted on 1/31/2018. TT stated that my DD would take place on 02/21/2018. On the 15th, the bar went away and I got the “still processing, topic 152” status and it has been that way since. The tax advocate I spoke with said that I’m being reviewed and that the only thing that is being reviewed is my employment verification and that there was nothing I can do to speed up the process. She was not able to quote me a time frame or anything.

I called IRS yesterday and was told that it was only being reviewed and that it may take 45 days past 2/15/2018 or it could take longer. So if I didn’t call the tax advocate this morning, I would not have known why I was being reviewed. Oh and I wasn’t able to apply for hardship bc I don’t have an eviction notice or anything being repossessed…. load of crock.

[Shaquille J]

I filed my return on 2/7/18 and my status has been the same every since….still processing with a topic 152 code no date but my friends and co workers have all received their refunds and ive filed wayyy before them..what the heck is going on… does anyone have any info or in the same boat as me?

[Michael]

Ours was received 2/9/2018 and had orange arrow msg received until two days ago, then went to the recv’d processing msg. We used TurboTax. This was the first year my spouse and I filed jointly, and we have a house and one rental property w/ itemized deductions. I thought perhaps that’s what was holding it up

[Denisia]

OK I’m so frustrated I lost my job rent is behind .. I never been through this and i have been filing for 10years talked to the IRS they tell me my check is processed but they are holding it while they review it.. I’m driving myself crazy trying to see what to do.. My stuff has been processing since I filed and checked the site… FML

[Anjgirl]

Filed accepted 2/01 had 1 bar then path message for a bit the bars and path disappeared and have had the processing message since. I know I’m weekly. And transcript shows cycle of 20180605.

[Tonya]

i am in the same boat filed and accepted 2/4 with turbo tax no eic or anything else just normal return all standard deductions had one bar for two weeks then changed to the still processing. No letters or codes at all. My sister and mother both filed and had their refund within two weeks! Yes this is hell but nothing I do is gonna make them go any faster than they choose to, which is horrible. I think the lack of accurate information is what drives me crazy.

[Nicole]

Randall that can’t be true as mine is under review and I used free tax USA. My sister also used said site and she got hers last week and has all the same credits

[Randall]

***********PLEASE READ MY POST BELOW***

IT’S NOT THE IRS. THEY ARE COVERING UP FOR COMPANIES LIKE HRBLOCK. WE FILED EARLY USING HRBLOCK ONLINE AND THEIR SOFTWARE DIDNT UPDATE WITH THE NEW TAX UPDATES SO THE IRS HAD TO MANUALLY PROCESS EACH EARLY RETURN THAT WAS FILED BEFORE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE TOOK EFFECT. ORIGINALLY FILED AND ACCEPTED ON 1/29 AND NOW WHEN WE GO TO HRBLOCK THE NEW FILE DATE IS 2/24 WHICH WAS LAST FRIDAY. IF YOU FILED WITH HRBLOCK I HAVE INCLUDED IN MY LOWER POST HOW TO GO AND CHECK THIS INFO!

[Bs]

Filed 2/5 accepted 2/5 at first had the orange bar that said refund was recieved and it is being processed to is still being processed tt 152 and amount on the side. This year is total bullshit! I am not calling the irs and falling for their lies. I feel like they’re lying to everyone saying their under review to buy them time. They got something going on there and they don’t wanna tell anyone what

[Tim]

Did anyone here get any good news? Anyone have their bars disappear and actually receive their money or at least a date you should receive it?

[Nikki]

I filed 1/25 with Turbotax. Received email showing it was accepted by IRS the same day. But it also shows it was transmitted on 1/29 with an est. Date of Feb 15 for refund. I knew I wouldn’t see it on the 15th because of the Path Act but I have always been an early filer and If receive my refund no later than the 22 of Feb. But this year it is hell. I’ve checked the IRS wmr for weeks I never had a status bar from the jump. It just says your return is being processed blah blah blah with the 152 topic link provided. So I was patiently waiting until the 27th since that’s when the IRS claimed they’ll release our funds. Even though I’ve always received mine before that. I go to check my mail Monday the 26th and I have a letter 4464C dated Feb 22nd saying I am under review and I’m not required to do anything at this time. Well I feel required to do something because this is money I have worked and earned. I have a family..children and a baby who is due within the next 2 weeks. And they want me to sit..silently by and wait 60 days ? This is BS for all of us to deal with. Its bad enough they started this Path Act nonsense that delays us our money when we have families to look out for. I was okay with the 27th buy 60 days or even more for all we know! Very unacceptable! There are people out here voiding taxes right now getting away with it yet the ones paying their taxes just trying to make a living and provide we get the shyt end of the stick. Anyhow sorry fornthe rant. But my sister in law used Turbotax as well filed the every next day 1/26 and she got her on 2/23 with no problems. So I believe this to be random and I really do hope we all can get it resolved in a timely manner. Some of us are facing current hardships like myself and we were counting this.

[artic.turtle]

I checked my H&R Block and mine says filed and accepted 01/31. I’m still processing and no bars, and received the review letter dated for 02/12. However received blank transcripts that stated no record of return received. If it hasn’t been received how can it be flagged for review?? Im so confused. I can’t access my online transcripts, since all the new secuirty features implemented awhile back. It apparently doesnt accept my car loans or credit cards, what good is a system if you can’t even verify yourself with the very info they request. Im weekly and hope to see movement this weekend. I am EIC, child care credit and HOH filer… Good luck to all.

[Aja]

I checked it out on mine and yep, sure enough the date wasn’t the same. We filed and was supposedly accepted on the 16th. When I checked the history it wasn’t accepted until the 19th

[ShallowWaters]

@Randall Thanks a million! I finally found it and found that I was not entered until today. Yep, you read me right.

[ShallowWaters]

okay just something that I found out…I filed on 1/22 and was accepted on 1/23….now get this…I finally get to see my tax history on H&R Block and you know what? It was put on file until TODAY!!!!!! This review thing, I believe (bc I am not the only one this is happening to) is bc they haven’t even put us in the damn system yet! I was told I needed to ID verify days ago… why would I need to do that if I’m not in the system….plus…then I was told I am under review…how can you do that when once again, I am not in the system until today????

[Jeannine]

I used turbo tax how can I check it ?????

[April]

My. Sister and mom used hr block. Already got threes. So I don’t think that is all the way true. I filed 1/29 and my date says 2/2 so why haven’t I gotten mine.

[Refund]

Still showing being processed

[Randall]

******* SPREAD THE WORD******** Everyone please scroll down to view my post. It will explain alot.

[Spooky]

Filed 1-24 with TT, accepted 1-25. Education credits, small business. Etc. Lost my single bar two weeks ago. So I had two conversations with TT this past week. First call went nowhere as there deflecting blame to the IRS. Tonight they told me that Congress passes a few more laws on 2-8 screwing up what was Perfect codes on their part. So now the IRS is buying time to correct everything. Bottom line, this year sucks badly and I simply wouldn’t mind having to wait IF we could get some real answers. Looking at he IRS Refund Page is much like trying to use a PayPhone in this day and age. Completely useless.

[jjv]

I was able to call today and get some kind of “answers” *eyeroll*

Apparently they mailed a letter on the 21st, the same day my bars disappeared. I am to wait until the middle of next week to call back and they can tell me what I need to do if I do not have the letter by then. The guy did tell me the letter was a 12CLTR. I have all my tax papers ready to go. Anyone know what to expect?

[ShallowWaters]

@Brianna M Everyone is under review…it is all BS, they are stalling…..

[Brianna M]

This is ridiculous!!!! My bar disappeared and it proceeded to state that it was processing. It’s been processing for almost two weeks now and i call and they say it’s a 45 day review!! What the hell for!

[ShallowWaters]

@randall where do I find the history… I’m looking for it now but can’t seem to find it

[Randall]

After we got a tip on here that everybody that filed early online with eitc/actc and ones that didn’t have the credits are being held up in review by the irs. In fact the reason early filers are being held up is because of the new tax updates that hr block, turbo tax, etc… system did not upload the new software in time for the refunds to be released properly. Indeed this is the case my wife just called hr block and asked what did the file date 2/24 mean because we filed and it was accepted on 1/29 and the worker didnt know why but the supervisor said their software didnt take in time and they had to let the irs know and the irs has had to manually enter everyones return and that was our date. If you log in to your hr block account it will be able to tell you when you go to the history when it was accepted but what file date actually was and ours was 2/24 that the irs has actually processed our return after having it for a month. THE IRS is covering for the companies not having their software updated on time. Thats the reason the IRS is saying everyone is under review with no letters being sent out.

[Bena]

Yes they told me since I received the 4464c letter I have to wait 60 days from the date of the letter

[ShallowWaters]

They are now saying that everyone is under review and to count the 45 days from the 15th…which would be April 1st but holding it til April 2nd.

They are telling people April will be when they will be releasing funds.

WTF is going on? I have heard this from several ppl that called the IRS today…. I’m losing it. I’m livid.

[Jasmine]

Where’s MY money…
They kill me with wit 45 days.. we don’t tell them to wait 45 days for they taxes out of our checks! If we did it would hell.
Feb 15 bars went away.. I was like let me be cool.. so I wait until today I call and get told I’m under review.. It will be 45 days from Feb 15…. So it’s looking like April 2..
Then she tells me to keep checking WMR..

Well I was still pissed called back to see if I was getting a letter or anything this woman tells me it’s going to be 45 days from March 5.. HOLD THE HECK IP.. why?! I asked she gets smart and tells me that I just need to wait.. I wanted to say I’m pretty sure you didn’t wait! Why they so rude.

Well I guess 3rd time is a charm.. this woman tells me it’s in review 45 days from Feb 15 just check daily.. could get refund any day .. it could just take up to 45 days.. I told her about the other lady she said she made a mistake that it shows 2 different dates. Makes me wonder if I will get it on March 5..
I hope we all get our money we all have worked very hard for…

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

And the (*&$%_*(@#&%_(*#$( system hung up on me after 2 hours and nearly 15 minutes waiting. 6 freaking hours on the (*&%#(*&#$(*&#$)(*@#)($*# phone with ZERO resolution. In the meantime my rent is due in a few days, my car is broken down and I can’t work because I am an Uber driver and no car means no work. I need the refund to work. Almost 30 days with no income now. Can’t make my car payment, can’t pay my phone, utilities and these idiots can’t even tell me why my refund has been sitting in limbo. WMR better update for me tonight…I’m FURIOUS. Give me my damn money! Ugghhhh

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

Still sitting on that second long hold… 1 hour and 59 minutes later. This is complete and utter BS…

[john]

so i filled on 2/1, accepted same day, and about two weeks ago my bars disappeared and i got the refund is still being processed notice. i just called the irs, they said that theres nothing wrong with my refund, but because of the eic it is just taking longer and hopefully should be deposited by march 5th.. fingers crossed? sound like anybody elses situation?

[Tailor]

I filed with TurboTax on February 2nd, and my refund was received the same day. However, it’s still processing and it does not have a code of any sort. I did claim the EIC and Child Tax Credit. Any idea on an update of any sort? Running out of patience here.

[GiveMeMyDamnMoney]

I used Turbo Tax self-employed since I do Uber and got to use it for free. I filed on 2/1 and was accepted on 2/1. Initially I had one bar and tax topic 152 with my info on the side. Then on the 17th or 18th my bars and tax topic 152 went away and I got the still processing a refund date will be provided when available message. I’ve been there ever since with no updates.

I called IRS yesterday and first the person said she couldn’t see anything wrong and said EICs are being processed the next day (today) and that I “might” get a letter or something but she wasn’t sure and to call back tomorrow if I didn’t update.

Still no updates or DD 26 days later so I called the Tax Advocate line because I have an emergency situation where I really need the refund ASAP. They are referring me but I have to be transferred while I sit on hold. I was literally on hold for two and a half hours when the system booted me and cycled me to the wrong place. Another 30 minutes to be told I had to call the advocate line again. Did that and was put on a 15 minute hold only to be told they are transferring again. That was 30 minutes ago. Between talking and being on hold it has been over FOUR hours and I still don’t know a damn thing more than I did when I started other than they don’t see any reason why my return is stuck in limbo. Great…

[Devin]

Files 1/30/18 accepted 1/31/18 have EIC CTC etc. called IRS today. They told me nothing wrong on my end. Just Folks that claimed extra credits are getting reviews. She said I should wait another 21 days.

[Rachel]

I am in the same boat. I guess the upshot is, when it comes to the IRS do NOT count on getting your money at a certain time. This has never happened to me and I assumed I would get my refund early this month. Now I’m reading stories about people not getting it until summer time. They can do whatever they damn well please I suppose!

[Deanna]

I agree this is crazy I just posted about this!!

[Donella]

I have filed and was accepted on the 9th of February and have been sitting limbo ever since. IRS is unable and declines to tell me anything. This is going on with numerous people. Many, who have filed EIC and many who has not. The best exciyse the IRS has is this Path Act that has been put into place. This Path Act that doesn’t appear to be exclusive to everyone that has EARN INCOME CREDIT/ADDITIONAL. I say this because plenty of people who has this EIC has received their tax refunds, so this just seems random.

And now we’re hearing of IRS telling those they have 45 more days to receive their income. Or letters sent out that could arrive in 9 week, for some, 30 days…..BASICALLY, WHENEVER THEY GET TO IT!

This is negligence on their part, disregard for money we’ve earned as tax paying citizens, and they are treating us like second class citizens that are granted some sort of charity, which is not the case.

I’d like to make this public, via CNN or HLN. But we must do this together. Flood them with our stories and our complaints, and put IRS on the STAND to expedite their process for the sake of government and American decency to its citizens.

I was accepted on January 29th, I applied for my refund on the 27th. When I called I was told I was under review, that starts on February 15th and it could take up to 45 days smh

[Nicole]

Still being processed. I don’t know what to do…

[Abby G]

Does anyone know the number to contact a tax advocate?

[Abby G]

Just received that horrible IRS letter – 4464C – The bar disappeared on the 22nd and the date of the letter is the 22nd. No idea when we will get our refund now. Does anyone know if they count the weekends as days as well or is just business days. Our letter says 60 days. OMG.

[BreYana]

A 4464c letter is a letter stating that you’re under review.

[Sweetpea]

What is a 4464c letter

[Christine]

Mine was accepted Jan 19th, called it’s today. Said I’ll be getting a 4464c letter but said they have no clue why. Of course they know why. But I don’t. Anyone know what that means?

[Rachel]

I filed January 29th – EIC. Been “still processing” for weeks now. Under 45 day review I was told. Was hoping I would see some kind of change today as I heard the 27th was the day they would start processing EIC refunds, although I know people who got theirs last week.. Still processing. This feels hopeless.

[Ladybugbutler]

I thought I was all along in my situation… Blessings be to all. Because we need our money

[bizroy]

I filed January 29th, had the same one red bar saying that it had been received. Since the 15th, there are no more bars, and I have the “still processing” message of death. I am a grad student with EITC, other than that there’s nothing funky about my form. I called last week on the 21st, and finally got through to someone who said that since the 15th its being held for review. The lady was nice, but told me that it could be another 45 days, even though she didn’t see anything suspicious about my return.She also said it could show up on the 27th (today). Negatory. I was hoping this would help cover my rent for March, but I guess I’m screwed.

[yesennia]

I filed on 2/5 my refund was accepted same day. I had one bar showing refund was accepted. But I checked this weekend and now the bar is gone and it is showing that it is still being processed. Plus I got locked out for “exceeding the daily attempts” WTH…. :( just my luck. I tried calling IRS yesterday but was on hold for a long time and I could not keep holding. I will try calling today and see what the status is.

[jenn]

i filed Jan. 30 2018. i was accepted Feb.1 it is now the 27th i havent recieved my income tax yet. i claimed my fiance and his kids. i dont know what is going on. i need answers. waiting on the phone to talk to someone from irs. this is insane it has never taken this long.

[Stuck on 1 now none]

I filed on 2/2 accepted same day Free tax USA
stayed on 1bar til 2/19
woke up to still being processed with all my info on side and tt152 haven’t moved since I do have eic I file the same way every year for the past 5 years never had to wait so long I dont want to call because that seems to be rocking the boat but I’m past my 21 days and this year my refund is needed.. so over it😠

[frustratedinWI]

And what’s kind of funny, is I received my state refund on 01/31 already. But Federal is going nowhere. State won’t release refunds unless the Federal return is processed and approved. So what is the hold up? Also, I feel horrible because I have to now tell my 7 year old daughter that we are not going to the indoor water park/hotel this weekend. She has been waiting patiently for 6 weeks. She has only been to a hotel once, but she was too young to remember it. We don’t go many places, usually it’s just camping if we do, but that’s been years too. So this was a big deal to all of us. We all really needed it, it’s been very stressful and difficult. I can wait till tomorrow, but it nothing, I will have to cancel the reservations. I also will cancel my vacation at work and just go to work. What’s the point of wasting my vacation if we aren’t going. I can’t believe the govt is doing this to it’s people. Most people that work very hard, every day, but still depend on their refunds to get caught up on bills, buy necessities that they go with out all year because everything goes to bills and other expenses. And get to maybe do that one little fun thing as a family that one time for the year.

[Jessica]

I filed on 1/11
IRS accepted on 1/22
But when I look on HR block site my tax documents show file date of 2/20. I had the first bar for the first week after it was accepted but now just the “your return is being processed and refund date will be updated” it shows my filing status and refund amount of the side of WMR. Driving me crazy waiting for this DDD. I know last year I had all the same credits and exemptions and only a little more income this year and I got my refund at end of February last year. Hoping for WMR to update with my DDD soon!!!

[EarlyFilerNY]

@frustratedinWI I am dealing with a very similar situation. Filed and accepted on 1/24, WMR had one bar for the first week then it just disappeared but on the right side my SS and Refund Amount is still there. The same processing message every day but I haven’t called IRS yet.

I will be sure to update if anything changes, please do the same.

[frustratedinWI]

I am in the same boat. I filed on 01/18, was accepted the same day. Since 02/17, sitting at a “still being processed” message. No tax topic, no codes. Refund amount on the side. I haven’t yet tried calling the IRS, I have been trying to just give it some time. But let me tell you, I have never had a delay such as this. I have been filing my own taxes for almost 20 years, and it’s always has been a very quick process, no delays, no issues. I have had no changes in the way I file or my information I use for filing, that could possibly send up any “red flags” in their system. Even my employment is the same, bank, everything. I personally believe there is a lot going on over there that they are not being honest with, and all of this is just a stall tactic, most of it is BS I believe, giving them more time for whatever reason. I think they are making people jump through hoops and probably for nothing more than more than giving them more time. I refuse to play into that at this point. I will give it the remainder of the week before I call. This is absolutely ridiculous though!

[Midwest]

ineedtoknow,
Filed 2/6
Education credits and ACTC – no EIC

I had the same issue – all bars disappeared and no amount on the left for a long while. Then the amount updated but still said processing.

Then TODAY (2/27) my transcripts updated. They were blank yesterday.

I can see everything as well as code 846 Refund issued.

The date by the 846 says 03-02-2018
The cycle is 20180902 – Makes sense I am a weekly. That means the refund should have been issued yesterday Monday the 26th. I have USAA, had no funds taken out, and should have seen my deposit a day early. Nope, nothing in there this morning.

[Renaye B]

File early 1/29 no codes still saying still processing.
What is going on don’t want to call because I’m not trying to get red 🚩

[where that money]

@ericka this proves my point they hire people to work in a call center to answer the phone – no one knows anything so the facts should be posted on our status (wheres my refund) so each person knows exactly what is going on, no guessing.

[paylikeyouweigh]

My wife and I filed joint on Feb 2nd. We have two dependents and have filed every year without incident. I have an older daughter (19) who filed taxes for the first time this year and a (22) year older daughter who filed for the 3rd time. Here’s my issue: My 19 year old has been received, approved and taxes received last week. My 22 year old and my wife and I still no WMR bars and are getting the still processing message. The unique thing is my 22 year old got a letter already from the irs where we had to amend her tax return due to some health insurance concerns but we have not received a letter, no nothing! I called the IRS and they said they do not see any issues and it is still being processed. Thought money would be here in time for rent, boy was I sadly mistaken! WTH Uncle Sam.

[where that money]

27th good morning empty bank account. I just dont understand if there is going to be a hold or what ever the issue why not put that on our status update. Why make us sit here checking the site or call the 800# and get different answers. Just give the facts. SO ANNOYED!!!!

[Shannon M Skeffington]

We filed with Turbotax on Feb 1st 2018. Said it was accepted by the IRS on Feb 2nd. Return date was Feb 22nd. After the 22nd I called the IRS,, spoke to a lady and she stated the return was accepted on the 5th and it will hit our account on the 26th. It is now the 27th of Feb, no deposit or pending amount. I have checked the “where’s my refund” and it just says “still being processed and we will give a date when available”

This is insanity to me because we have never had any issues with filing or receiving our return fairly fast and on the date provided. The entire thing is a joke. Literally a joke. They can always f&ck us around but you better believe if you mess something up, they will come take all you’ve worked for, and be quick about it.

[Sarah Conner]

My refund says it’s being processed

[Still waiting]

Filed on 2/15
Accepted on the same day

I was told the my return redistributed and was actually being processed on 2/20. My son and I filed at the same time and he is getting his 2/28. I do have EIC but I was able to order my transcript with no problem… Geez this is crazy

[Crystal]

I received the letter 4464c on Feb 7 so I went back and reviewed my taxes on Turbo Tax and seen where I made the mistake of putting an xtra 1 in my fed tax withholding so I know where I made the mistake. I contacted a tax law person who told me that the IRS is used to math errors and will correct the issue and send out the right refund amount. He also said that because I claim my kids that it could very well be that they randomly selected my return and tgat they did not detect the error. Still very frustrating. He told me to wait until after the 28th to call the IRS. Any one else make a math mistake and get thier refund yet?

[Straysoul]

Also have not been able to order transcripts

[Straysoul]

TODAY-spoke to irs again and was told there are no letters, no one reviewing my return, and to allow 45 Days from 2/21….. get home and I have LTR 4464C in the mail dated 2/23 stating my return was selected for review.

[B_NAcworth]

Ok, I got some clarity in my conversation with the IRS and HRBlock today…so if you filed with HRB early… here’s a snipped of the note I got:

“Your return includes Schedule A: Itemized Deductions and included medical expenses.”

then

“Your return is in “pending” status and hasn’t been rejected by the IRS. Congress recently lowered the threshold for the medical expense deduction from 10% of your AGI to 7.5%, which means you might be able to get a bigger refund (or owe less tax) this year. So, we’re holding your return until the IRS updates its system.

Once the IRS updates its system to reflect the lower threshold, we’ll email you again with instructions on how to file again to take advantage of these changes. Please wait until you hear from us — you won’t be able to e-file again until IRS system changes have been made. ”

So per the IRS rep I got today, my return was manually entered despite filing on 1/25 and being accepted on 1/25, my filing date with HRB is 2/19/2018.

I was told to allow 6 weeks from the 1/25 date which would be 3/12 and I should have my refund by then.

I believe as the email states some early filers whose forms didn’t update to the new calculations are having to be manually processed. Hence, filers that filed and were accepted after us early filers have already gotten their refunds.

So in a week I should know something, hopefully. Probably most of us will…

[Drew]

@Rosebud the second time you called …when told that you’re getting your refund …did he mention If you’re being reviewed by them ?

Seems like me and you getting the run around

[Drew]

So same “still being processed a date will be given bla bla

Called today was told 45 days from the 15th

Had to basically press her about why she said don’t worry it’s random and was flagged because …it was random lol

I find this so funny

Then she sounded so sure that it was a letter sent out but then when I asked a letter about what …the reason ..she goes oh I don’t know but if you do get the letter .

These are all tactics to stall

She then goes not 45 days but could be sooner doesn’t mean nothing is wrong .

And If it does take 45 days April 1 …April 2nd is when my refund is given..or if not call

Lmaooooo I can’t with these reps they really don’t know wtf to say

[Chrystal Jackson]

Hello, im in the same boat. I jave the same message and i also had it last year as well. Last year inwas put under review, i had to prove my daughter my employment and my head of house hold status. I kept gettinh the run around so i finally got a tax advocate to help me around the end of June. I finally got my taxes Aug 26th of last year.

So i called today to ses what the problem is this year and i was told that wmr should update tomorrow and if i see no change to call back on Wednesday. Then i can find out what is going on or if im under review.

[Momof2]

I filed 1/30 accepted same day. One bar went missing 2/18 with processing message. Still no changes . Called irs today and lady said anyone who claimed eitc or actc refunds were being held until tomorrow 2/27 which was a lie. I know a lot of people who claimed those credits already got their money last week and filed way after I did. I’m not under review , no letters were sent out. So I’m just waiting it out. I’ll post if anything updates tomorrow or this week.

[Shortcake]

Filed and accepted on 2/4 had one bar until 2/18 now it’s saying still processing a refund date will be provided when available… then it has my last four of social and my filing status.

[Rosebud]

Oh, and I’d also like to add that they’ve selected random people to hold for review. I’d think it’d make sense to review people who are getting over at least $5k back in taxes.
Goodness…

I have a flight to catch tomorrow, and I filed my taxes early in hopes of having the funds in time for what I need to do. Very frustrating…

Anyway, I hope our refunds are delivered to us soon!

[Rosebud]

I filed 2/3.
Accepted 2/3.

I’ve been getting the same message as everyone else.
Refund is still being processed, date will be provided when available, TT152, blaahh.
I’ve had that message since the 2/3! Nothing’s changed. Not once. Never had any bars.

So today I contacted the IRS as it’s been over 21 days. I was told that my refund is under review. Of course it is! (eyeroll). So I was given the 45 day run around as well. The representative I spoke with seemed to stumble on his words. He started to tell me I should receive a letter in the mail and to call back in 45 days if I don’t get it. No further info.
Uhh…ok??

So I called back today to see if I would get a more info from someone else. I had no idea when the 45 days started or ended! So the next agent I spoke with informed me that I should receive my refund by March 31st, and if not to call back. GEEZ!

This is the first time this has happened to me and it’s really making my fiscal situation worse…

[April]

I think the IRS is BS. Us
Called last week cause I was still processing. Rude young girl said they want going to look at my review till 3/5
Call today a nice guy told me they started reviewing it on Feb 15.
I was accepted on Jan 29.
I think there just. Telling us something
To delay us. I haven’t got any letters. Or. Codes on my war. Wtf. In a waitress and have been seeing alto of people with kids including my sister already get threes. Back

[Qiana92]

Filed and accepted Feb 1st… Had one bar… Then updated to still being processed code 152… Hasn’t changed

[Sweetpea]

I called last week said to wait 45 days then I called today so rude now saying I was sent out a letter 4464c what is that I ask my taxpayer she never heard if it someone help please

[Amber]

Same thing… I cant believe this…

[Rachel]

Mine is still being processed as well. I filed end of January. I called and they told me mine was under review and to wait 45 days. Ugh

[Shawn kim]

Still see that message as well. They said it could take 45 days to be reviewed.

[Aaron]

So I called today. The wait was not terrible long, maybe 10 min. They advised my return was accepted on 2/9. and updates should be coming on March 2. I had one bar early on with TT 152, then it disappeared, now one bar has reappeared with Tax topic. Hopefully a DD by next week.

[Jazzy]

Filed on Jan 30th and IRS accepted my tax return the same day. As of today it’s still processing with no bars. Tax Topic 152 and nothing else. No emails or letter in the mail. What’s really going on? People who claimed EITC and ACTC have been getting their money. IRS be lying.

[BreYana]

@Nicole I’m in the same situation!

[Nicole]

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.
Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 152, Refund Information

I’ve been getting this message for weeks. I FINALLY got a hold of someone at the IRS and apparently my federal return is under review. He said I didn’t do anything wrong, but it’ll take a little more time to process and said I should have the money direct deposited by April 1st, but to call back if I get a letter or the funds aren’t there at that time. I can understand, but pure craziness. Some of us depend on this money every year!

[Fael Martinez]

Tax Return still processing, Taxes accepted on the 4th, lost bars on the 22nd of Feb. Called IRS today and got told I was under review and that they sent out a letter on the 22nd. Also that my review can take 60 days. Rep wasn’t able to give me an other answer other than to wait for the letter.

[BreYana]

It seems as if were Never gonna get our refund!

[Prettyladyte]

@Rere that is ridiculous the rep I spoke with when I called told me I was under review give it 45 days from the 15th that if I didn’t receive a letter or anything April 1st would be the ending of the 45 days

[Rere]

So I called again today. Had to speak to 2 reps to get the right info. The first person gave the same lie about EITC credits not being updated until tomorrow, said I wasn’t under review. The second person I talked to, confirmed that I am indeed under review. However she told me they have 45 days from February 15 (April 12th to be exact – her words) to either send me a letter or process my return. No letters have been sent out yet.

[Hunter]

I file on 2/1/18 and was accepted the same day. I immediately had one bar but on 2/16 the disappeared and still processing message appeared. I’ve been check status daily on WMR but no movement. I claimed the EIC and I know the IRS didn’t start processing returns with certain credit until 2/17. I wonder if you fall in this category of returns exactly when do you start counting your 21 day window. Would it be the date you file or beginning on 2/17

[Evonne]

I filed 1/30 i had 1 bar until 2/15 i got the your return is being processed a date will be provided when available tax topic 152 call the the irs on 2/23 just for them to tell me I’m under review and that there’s not anything for me to do but wait 45 days no letter been sent out or anything this never happen to me and i hate that the irs can’t tell you anything over phone but i will be calling back again to see if someone can tell me something

[BreYana]

@deanna I’m hoping! I’m under review though, so who knows. It could take up to 45 days.

@rere see I filed the 29th too an I feel like if you filed on the 29th (official processing day) you’re being penalized. It just feels like they’re purposely holding onto our money until they feel like releasing it. Everyone around me with EIC filed AFTER me and received theirs well before the 27th.

[Rere]

I filed on 01/29. WMR has no bars, says still being processed. After calling the IRS 3 times, I finally got told I’m under “additional review” & as of Thursday the 22nd, my return was being held for the EITC Credit until the 27th. Plus I was told I was on an additional 2 week hold (from 2 weeks after the 27th). The 2 week hold is supposedly cuz I selected by random for additional review. I was told no letters have gone out, but they have 2 weeks from the 27th to either send me a letter or process my refund. Basically if you have that still being processed message after your 21 day mark, you’re under review! I know 2 weeks is probably a lie to get me off the phone. I probably won’t get my taxes until the summer. :’(

[Deanna]

Will we get approved soon does that mean?

[breyana]

@deanna If i’m not mistaken, that means were cycle 7 and we’re weeklys we don’t update until friday-saturday. Also, we didn’t officially begin to process until 2/19.

[Deanna]

I have this msg got transcript in mail 20180705 cycle? Don’t see codes on paper one’s

[Second time]

I file on 1/23 got accepted on 1/24 change to path message couple days later on 2/16 change to processed message stay that way until today update to dd of 3/1 I did called the irs on Monday and only thing the lady said to me was it don’t have my money by March 5th call back this tax season sucks I am almost done with good luck everyone I know how you all feel

[lawomanconcerned]

i ordered my transcripts by mail both of them does that mean i am done processing…please help

[BreYana]

I’m in the same boat! This tax season is a pain!

[Samantha Benton]

I still have the same message I have had for the past 3 weeks:
” your tax return is still being processed, a refund date will be provided when available”
And I have a tax topic 152… I have had no update I got accepted on the 19th of jan. I am going insane.

[BreYana]

I’m in the same boat. I filed 1/29. I have the message still being processed. I called when my 21 days were up, they said I was under review could take up to 45 days which is bs to me. I know people who filed the same time an we’re all under review. My sister filed Friday 2/16 an she already has a DDD of 2/28. It seems like if you filed early they’re purposely making you wait!

[Prettyladyte]

@Cathy thanks for responding and seems that’s all we can do.

[Cathy]

I had to fax 8692 and 1095a in on Feb 12th I have approved and a dd this morning for 3/1 so be patient its coming

[Prettyladyte]

When is the next big update ? I have yet to see a change in my status. I filed 1/25 accepted same day lost bars, & amount. Few days to a week later my amount appeared. 21 days passed I called the irs was told I was under review but what’s weird is I never received a message or code or any letter. I was told to give it 45 days if they needed any information I will be sent a letter. Same dependents, same HOH, more income was added. Anyone have any information that could help me out. This has been really crazy

[Jezebel]

I never post, but I wanted to offer some hope. I filed February 3 and wasn’t accepted until the 6th. I have all the credits and whatnot. I got the PATH message but then that disappeared a few days later. I then saw only that my return was being processed. There were no codes whatsoever. Until this morning, February 25th! I have two bars and am approved for a DD of March 1st! I hope that eases some people. Your money is coming. Just be patient.

[Brenda Scurlock]

Filed 1/25 got letter2/16 stating needed 1095 which JH forgot to include in my return. E-filed forms back 2/20 still says processing with no refund date n no bars yet.

[Melissa]

I filed on 2/9, accepted 2/9. Had one bar for a little bit, 2/19, status updated to still being processed and my refund amount disappeared. I claimed credits. 2/24 my status said approved with a ddd 2/28 so I really don’t believe the still being processed message means much it defiently doesnt mean youre under review.

[krystalyn fonseca]

Hey guys so I know a lot of people are freaking out over the “still processing” message. So let me tell you, I filed on the 12th it was accepted minutes after I filed. Then on like the 17th i lost all bars. Got a message that it was still processing with tt152 message and my re fund amount was gone from the left side. It stayed that way until this morning. I now have a ddd of 2/28. I just want y’all to know that not everyone is gonna have to id verify or under 45 day review. So don’t panic!

[BreYana]

I’m in the same boat! This tax season is a pain in the rear! I’ve never gon through any of this before!

[OMGwtf]

Seriously….filed end of Jan. Looked last week, said est. Dep. date was 2/22…waited a few extra days…just in case…just checked…says “still being processed” no codes….

[Nesza0215]

Filed 1/23
Accepted 1/23
Got a letter on 2/12 dated 2/7
Saying the irs is conducting a review and there was nothing for me to do but wait 60 days.
Contacted the irs on 2/22 and was told my with holdings didn’t match my W2 asked if I could fax or come in to the local irs and hand them my w2 to get this issue resolved was told no there’s nothing for me to do except wait that the irs will contact a third party and once the review is finished they will send me my refund.. called a tax advocate and was told if I use them it stops everything and will delay the process more was told my best bet is to just wait for a second letter in the mail and my refund to be released so frustrated because I’ve never had this issue but was told TT has messed up a few people refunds adding and subtracting with holding amounts and that is why you should always double check your with holding amounts ! Has anyone else had this issue and them give you anymore answers ??

[nessa79]

filed/accepted 1/29, could order account transcripts on 2/16. On Saturday 2/17 my one bar went to no bars and “Still being processed” on WMR. Haven’t tried to check the transcripts again. I called on Monday 2/19 in which I was told that they have finished processing but they were checking for offsets and to give it another 2 weeks to complete. I am afraid to call again, that I might here news I dont want to, so I sit here, read and wait.

[Jennie]

mine says the same was able to order transcripts this morning and they had code 570 so i called the irs and was told i was under review and should get a letter that was mailed two days ago

[BreYana]

I’m under review, with the generic message:

Your tax return is still being processed
A refund date will be provided when available.

I can see my social, refund amount and tax topic 152.

[Mystie]

Not everyone is under review. I’ve not seen many who are, however what i HAVE seen from a Facebook group I’m in for people with this same message: pretty much every single person has to ID verify and they never got their first letter and it had to be resent, myself included. Many who were able to verify this week already updated with a DDD this morning. If you are still processing and haven’t received a letter and haven’t called, you should. They may need to re send it. Almost no one actually received the first round of ID letters. You MUST have the letter in order to verify unless they let you schedule an appointment to verify in person.

[Tammy]

If you filed over 21 days ago and wmr is saying still processing or you can’t check on your status most likely you are under additional review . I’m in this situation as of now and was told to wait at least 45 days before it’s complete. I called a tax advocate to find out why my return was on hold and she said my income on my return didn’t match what they have . I was told to fax a 1040x so now I’m waiting to see what’s next. My return was accepted on 1/23

Still getting the “return is being processed, a refund date will be provided when available” message.

I did move in April of last year, so maybe that’s the holdup?

I haven’t received any letters.

WMR kept saying processing until 2/20/18 when it disappeared and now won’t even recognize my information. Called IRS 6 times today until I got a very nice lady who looked into it and said a form is being mailed out to me. No other information. So frustrated! I’m just going to start filing exempt for the year and setting money aside. I’ll file taxes when I get to it next year and then pay them when I feel like it

[Second time]

I called irs yesterday the lady was nice but after looking into my account said notting it’s just processed give it time so today I called my local tax advocate he told there was hold code that pending release so should have my money soon I hope but it u are over 21 days called your local tax advocate they will help u more then irs c r s

[Nicole]

WWR its says its still processing no topic just my refund amount on the side. I received a letter from the ICO rejects team on 2-6 asking for a 8962 and 1095-a I faxed that info on 2-14 then called on 2-21 to see if they received my faxed. No One would give me any info just kept telling me that its still being process and it takes 6-8 week. Have anyone experiencing this in the past if so how long was the process and when did you finally get your return?

[Hey There]

I’m on the same boat. Anyone knows a quick way to get a live IRS agent? I would appreciate it. I tried 5 times, and 5 times was a failure. Got disconnected by the dang robot.

[BreYana]

UPDATE:

I called today, rep only asked if I was the one who filed the return I told her yes and she said that’s all they needed to finish processing it. So, I’m hoping to have a DDD very soon. I also had the 4464c letter. Good luck everyone!

[Kell]

Mine reads the “your return is being processed and a refund date will be provided when available with tax topic 152, filed 2/1/818. The refund amount was just listed in the left column of mine as well but no DDD yet…Wondering if it means anything that the expected refund amount is listed in that left column.

[Rikkkk]

So this is what shows on WMR

Refund Status Results

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.

I called yesterday and was told they had mailed me a letter to ID verify,which I never got,he sent me another one yesterday,so now I have to wait for that letter.

Cycle 20180704

I have been reviewing my previous transcripts and researching the dates and codes. Since the PATH law took place I noticed the processing time is longer (of course), but more importantly, I receive my DDD 4 DAYS before the processing date. This means I should receive my return 03/01/2018 and should have an update in WMR displaying this date 02/24/18. (If I am correct). In previous years (before PATH), I received my refunds the last 4 years exactly 12 days prior to the processing date provided on the transcript.

The day the IRS begin accepting returns is one week later than the previous year, and my return according to my transcripts (if correct) are exactly the same as last year just one week later.

I hope I’m right.

[cspan78]

I haven’t got a clue what’s going on this year. I filed last year and year before got taxes back within 10 days. This year I filed on 2/12/18. Still on one bar with tax topic 152. I wasn’t able to order my transcripts for 2017 online but I was able to order them by phone. Anyone else in this predicament?

I also have notice there seems to be a difference between “still being processed with tax topic 152” and “your return has been received and it’s being processed with no tax topic”

I have the second message, no letters, and was told it’s a waiting game.

Filed 1/26 and Accepted 1/29. “Still Processing” since 2/3 and my transcripts say N/A.

So I broke down today and called. I guess the guy was okay he didn’t have much to say. He put me on hold to come back and tell me that my refund was on hold pending a response from a letter that should be received by 2/27. He couldn’t tell me much else after.

I haven’t gotten any letter yet of course. This has never happened before. The only thing that changed for me was the my address. This is beyond frustrating and I’m tired of this waiting game.

Eitc
Never updated to path
Ive had still processing message for 2 weeks now
Had transcripts faxed and seen code 570
Called irs today and she said should see refund by 27th, if not then call back
I ended up calling tax advocate and was told its on hold for income verification, the intake lady said its typically 7 weeks to resolve but will see if they can speed up process, ill get a call from my advocate by friday.
I have 2 w2’s, one is the same employer from past 2 years then a new one
I just realized I had a 1099r for $352 so nothing outrageous but maybe that caused the issue

*update I just spoke with my tax advocate who said the irs was waiting on my w2’s, they have them now and she is submitting a release request today, could take 2-4 weeks but without them wouldve been 8 weeks. If uou have tc 570 I suggest you call a ta so maybe you can get a start on whatever is going on. I never got a letter or anything.

[Jenny Youngs]

Ugggg I just got off the phone with the IRS. I called yesterday and was told I should have a DD by the 27 I had no reviews or anything. Today when I call I am told I am under review, and could take up to 45 days from the 15 and should be released by April 1st if not befor but to just keep a watch. If it is not released by April 1st to call back. She said no letters had been sent it was just under review. WTF. Has anyone else been told this? I filed and was accepted 1/29, have had the we are processing message since the 30th.

Filed 1- 18, accepted 1-19 bars disappeared around the 25th. Replaced with your tax return is being processed a refund date will be provided when available. Waited the mandatory 21 days and called yesterday. First person I spoke to…after 45 minutes on hold said that there were no flags on my account but that it was under review and to give it 45 more days before I called again. Hung up and called a tax advocate with the IRS, she checked into my account and told me that I had been flagged for identity verification. Call the IRS back waited on hold an hour and a half, spoke with another agent who informed me I had indeed been flagged for identity verification and a letter had been sent out on 1- 23….. to the address I used for my taxes last year. So obviously I never received it. Since it had been 14 days since the first letter had been sent out they were able to send out another letter this time to the correct address, hopefully I will get it! Will keep everyone updated once I get it and verify on how long it takes to actually get my money. Do not trust the first person you talk to, and I would highly recommend anyone who who’s been told their account is under review, call the tax advocate line and get assistance. If nothing else you’ll be able to get peace of mind hopefully

[Nona363]

Finally got thru to an agent had to call several times. She stated she saw nothing wrong with my return and no letters have been sent out and I should have a DD by the 27. Hopefully that’s true! Hope she isn’t just telling me something. Accept 1/23 been on processing message since 1/28 was able to c transcripts on 2/17 and have a code 570 no 846

[Deanna]

I got the letter I am under review too..I’m pretty sure there are tons of people delayed this year so if your still Processing it’s not a good thing!!

[Shay]

So I called the IRS because I’m in the same exact boat as everyone else. Filed 1/29 and accepted same day. One bar and TT 152 until 2/15 it updated to no bars and the generic still being processed message. EIC/CTC never got a PATH message

Lady told me that I’m under a review and it could take an additional 45 days to process. FML. Please call and check on your returns.

I heard there’s supposed to be an update tonight. Did anyone receive a 4464c letter?

Any update anyone? or have any info if a big update is coming soon?
Good luck! thanks!!

[Shortcake]

As of now central time 12:02am no updates. I filed 2/4 accepted within minutes I have been on the first bar with tax topic 152. No letters No nothing

[Ryan]

Yup same

[Kim]

@c-okie
I’m wondering the same.

[artic.turtle]

I filed and was accepted 01/31 via H & R Block. I always had 1 bar with Tax Topic 152 with amount on the side from 24 hrs after acceptance date, I never updated to the patch message, even though i quailfy for both. I filed the same as I always do, no changes to report. I finally recevied a review letter in the mail this past friday dated 2/12 and said to do nothing at this time. Oddly this morning my WMR updated to the “still being processed” message and I lost my bars, however tax topic 152 and amount still show. No other tax topics or take actions/ codes. This is the first year Ive experienced this. Good luck to all…..

[Marisela]

Yes!!! My WMR state: We have received your return and it is still being processed. There is no code. To the left you can see my last 4 of SS, Filing status, and my refund amount. IDK what this means. I filed 1/26/18, accepted the same date, but have had that message since like 2/7/18.

[Dawn]

Yes mine updated with the amount but no ddd

[Steph]

Filed through TT 1/26 Accepted 1/29. 2/3 updated to “Your tax return is still be processed” No Tax topic but amount is still there. My return transcripts say N/A. I also have ACTC but I never updated to path. Went from 1 bar to the message. I have received no letters and I’ve checked the offset line nothing there. I just can’t figure out what’s going on. I hope to see some movement this week at least something on my transcripts. Right now it’s like I haven’t even filed yet. My info is just sitting there.

[Kathryn]

exact same as @Bibi. Only other thing to note is my state refund (New York) has been approved and is scheduled for DD on 2/22. Usually federal is quicker in refund by a week or so. Very strange. No notes, no transcripts available, no codes, no info. So frustrating.

[Bibi]

Same here, filed and accepted on the 29th bars gone since late Friday night and says still processing, no letters nothing. Can’t check transcripts. I’m so over this process.

[c-okie]

Received a 4464C letter on the 12th. Letter was dated 7th. This morning my WMR changed from the one bar status to “still being processed.” Has anyone heard of someone receiving a 4464C letter and then getting a DDD date?

[Zannah]

Same thing, filed and accepted 1/19. NO changes for weeks. Day 21 bars disappear and 2 days later I get a letter requesting a 1095a form relating to marketplace insurance.

[Tonya]

Same here NO changes at all

Filed 2/4

Me. I’ve been on that status for 3 weeks so I called and got pulled for ID verify. They mailed my letter out on 2/12 and I’m still waiting on it to come in.

[BreYana]

@Johnathan I was goin to do the same thing, but my 21 days are up today. I’m goin to call tomorrow morning to see what’s goin on or if I need to ID verify. I’m hoping that’s all it is! Never received one of these before. Thanks!

[Johnathan]

@BreYana, My friend received a 4464c letter, and he said he’s not going to do anything about it. Meaning he’s not going to call in and verify nothing. His WMR still says the same thing with no code, no tax topic, and his transcripts say N/A and no tax return filed. I told him to go ahead and call in to verify his identity. He said “no”, he’s just going to wait to see what happens.

[Jenny Youngs]

Filled and accepted 1/29 ACTC, EIC, adoption credit went from accepted to we need more tile Tt152. 1/17 the only update I got was my amount is showing up on the side. :-( No letters received in the mail. Unable to get transcripts as I have a jew phone and it won’t recognize my card/auto or home mortgage loan numbers so I’m hanging in limbo with the rest.

[Nona363]

I have the same message above too! I filed 01/23 and accepted the same day. Only have EIC. I had one bar until 01/27 then it moved to the processing message with no amount. On 02/10 the same message but the amount came back. On 02/17 same message but now I’m able to c both transcripts. My transcript has all the correct codes but no 846. I have code 570 additional account action pending with a date of 03/05/18. My cycle date is 20180705. I think mine is being reviewed. I file with my last check stubs. One of the companies I work for was token over by a new company and thier tax I’d number changed and name but I filed it with the tax I’d I had from last year. Haven’t received a letter yet.

[BreYana]

Anyone here received a 4464c letter ?

[Footballfam123]

Same exact thing here. Updated this am from 1 bar to no bars and “still processing” blah blah blah and TT152. I Filed and accepted 1/31 and not claiming EIC or CTC. I truly do not believe we are all under review especially if yo have the TT153 code. I think early filers were just resequenced.

[Justin]

Was in the same position as you. Saturday morning I finally updated with the amount on the side but says I’m still being processed. I have TT 152. Claimed my kids and the EIC.

I have not received a letter yet and it appears I only update on Saturdays which is making this process so much more grueling. Just so damn fed up with this year as it’s never taken this long including last year.

What’s the review process? No idea why I would need to be under review. They just need to give me my damn money.

[Me Postman]

I have the same thing. I filed 1/23 accepted moves to Path on 2/10 and then being processed on 2/16 with amount on the side and I’m still on that. There’s a lot saying that we will update next and some saying they got a letter. I can’t order my transcript so I can’t see anything and I haven’t gotten a letter. So it’s up in the air. I believe since I didn’t switch to the Path until 2/10 that I am behind even though I filed on 1/23 and some how I got recycled because the majority of people said received being processed with the amount is good. But I’m going to call IRS on Tuesday just to be sure.

[Hurry]

This happened to me last year around the same time. I got my 846 code this week last year. On a Wednesday. Hopefully it will be the same this year.

[Deanna]

I had that and I received a review letter yesterday sorry but I think whomever has that was pulled for general review

[Robert Hilton]

I filed my taxes on 2/3/2018 and they were accepted the same day. Sometime in the last week of Feb when I checked wmr and all the bars were gone and it said processing. I called on 2/27/2018 and was told by the IRS that I had an offset from CA EDD for 1700. I already knew that was coming so I asked how long that would take since me refund was for over 5k. I was told up to 30 days and to wait for a letter. I finally got frustrated and called back this morning. I told them what I was told before and they said based on what they were seeing nothing had been mailed and that I was now under review. They could not tell me why I was selected for review or what they were reviewing. They did tell me that I would need to wait 45 days from 3/12/2018. I got home and there was a 4464c letter dated 2/28/2018 saying I need tof wait 60 days. From what I have read online they must have finished the 60 day review and are now starting a 45 day hold beginning 3/12. What a load of sh!t this all is. I have had no changes and all information is accurate. I don’t know what to do now. So frustrating
