      I filed 1/23 and accepted 1/23. Didn’t really both with WMR until after Feb. 15 because I have both credits. e-filed with Taxact in case that impacted this at all.

      WMR always just said processing after 2/15 and never updated, so I figured I’d call and get some details. I called today and she had me check the mail for any letters. No letters. then she had me hold and said she wanted to see if there was something else. Very vague about it all, so I’m not sure what she was checking on. After a while she came back and said that I’ll only get a letter if there is additional verification needed (apparently it’s still a possibility). She said that there was a problem processing my return but it wasn’t anything I did. She said to wait four weeks from today (the day I called) and then to call back if my refund hasn’t come in yet. That was it, no more details or anything. So i’ll keep checking WMR for updates and see what happens. Anyone ever come across this at all, any advice or thoughts on what happened?

            I have called several times now. Filed and accepted 1/31 with H&R Block online. Told last week it was a systemic error, nothing on my part. I have had no bars for awhile and not able to order transcripts. She said it is being handled as a paper return. Also said she saw no errors and if there were any they would be showing up by this point. Still have no idea how long the wait will be but it was more info than I’ve gotten any other time I’ve called.

              Oh and never got any letters and nothing about it on WMR either. Tax preparer says everything is fine. So frustrating.

                Seems like a similar situation to me. Filed 1/23, accepted 1/23. I also didn’t worry about it until the 15th. I finally called on the 17th of Feb. when I never left processing. The lady said all looked good, don’t sweat it, deposit most likely next week. On the 22nd, I got an ID verify letter. The letter was dated for the SAME DAY I called and was told all is good, the 17th. Really? Anyway, ID verified that same day. The ID lady told me all was good now, just sit back and wait for a date. Updated to being processed on the 24th. Movement after a month, Woohoo. Updated to 1541 delay on the 25th. WTF? Now I am in 1541 purgatory. Like another poster said, I am not even going to call and ask why. These phone people are trained to answer a number of calls an hour, and say whatever gets you off the phone.

                  I kind of had something similar happen to me.
                  Filed 2/2 accepted same day. No change on WMR. Was able to order account and return transcripts. Finally got fed up and called the IRS. The woman who I spoke to was SO vague and after about 45 minutes finally told me there is some kind of “hold” on my return. Didn’t know why or maybe just didn’t want to tell me.
                  She put in a referral for tax advocate to call so hopefully ill know something soon or maybe it’ll all just work itself out and ill have a DDD this week!

                    Basically the same for me, said no letters sent, no bad codes, just reviewing my return closer. I asked for an advocate. She called me Thurs had me fax her a letter from my employer verifying my income for 2016, I faxed to her the same day. She told me IRS has 4 days to respond and she said she will call me the 28th….I will keep you all updated.
