      My refund was accepted and I had the first of the 3 bars…the typical results. Today, I logged on to see the status and the results had changed to this:

          I filed 2/3 and received the message saying no information about your taxes, my amount stayed the same. i received the code 152 and 9001 as well. spoke to someone this morning and was told that i was under further review which is not the same as an audit but can lead to an official audit. she told me that i should receive a letter in 14 days with instructions and to follow the instructions on the letter. I also spoke to DC about my state income taxes they said that they were still being processed and also was received on the 3rd. So i will be patient and just allow them to do their job. i hope it works out for everyone including me!! I really could use that money. All situations are different but i hope this helped someone.

            I was accepted on February 2nd 2019 and when I just checked my WMR it gave me a topic 152 and said to give a reference number 9001? Is this a bad thing, did I do something wrong? Will I get my refund? I’m pretty certain all of my information is correct..

              Had the same 152 topic and 9001 filed Feb 5 and had 1 bar and then got the codes called irs and said I had to wait on a letter and had to wait 9 weeks that it got pulled for some reason:(

                I meant it changed to being processed. :)

                  Filed 2/6, accepted same day, both credits. Same “refund is being prosessed, TT 152” message since then on WMR. Never got a path msg. Still hasn’t changed.
                  Have been able to see my transcript since 2/9, said no return filed everyday until today. Now it’s completely filled with 846 and DDD 2/22!

                  Good luck all!

                    Hi guys! I was receiving the same message about the EITC/ACTC mid Feb wait but today it changed to accepted. I filed 1/28. Hope this changes for you too! The only problem for me is I forgot to change my bank account for direct deposit so hopefully I won’t have to wait an extra 4-6 to receive a paper check.

                    Last year I filed on 1/28 and received them 2/22 after having the same message about the hold.

                    Hope this helps ease your minds.

                        @Drizzy so all these people on here have either had their identity stolen or are committing tax fraud then? Unlikely. With everyone posting updates showing their status has changed that can’t be what it means.

                        Mine hasn’t changed yet though I’m getting anxious

                              Pretty much everyone has that who is under the path act meaning they claimed EIC or ACTC like the message says….when you see people saying their message updates to the path message on the Facebook group or on here that’s the message they mean. Basically means you aren’t getting your refund until mid February

                                                    My refund status says

                                                    “According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue refunds before mid-February for tax returns that claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit. This applies to the entire refund, even the portion not associated with these credits.”

                                                    What the hell? I’ve not seen anyone else get this.

I don’t even know why I’m on here, I didn’t get rejected or reference 9001. I was just letting them know. I am not an expert, I have only been working at ***** ********* for a year. I’m just trying to make a point not hurt your feelings.

It is very easy to type “I work for a tax company” and say something alarming without offering any remedy like a REAL tax expert would, and then just watch people panic. Monee for goodness sake, NO do not re-file; that would likely only cause you trouble.

                                                                                          Filed early with TurboTax and was accepted 1/14/19 and had 1 bar 1/16/19, then went to the same no info/9001 result on where’s my refund the next day.

                                                                                          Glad that is just a glitch and hoping refunds will be sent per my transcript!!!

They will not reflect it after they accept it. You file, the IRS accepts it or rejects it, they do not accept it them decide to reflect it later. They will however if they find an issue, notify you about it.

Ii’m the only one who has used my ssn to file. This is a glitch, my sister in law works for H&R block, filed early and has the same code even though she’s single with no credits and not a dependant on any return. it’s just because the IRS wont start doing anything until tax season opens.

My return was initially accepted (as were the majority of others on this forum) before suddenly getting the typical ‘one bar’ page replaced with the 9001 reference page. According to the IRS, our returns were checked for ssn/tin, filing status, address, and W2/1099(etc) info before being accepted.

It will change on Jan 28th official opening day.. If you have the EIC and CTC credits you most likely will update eith the PATH ACT message and will receive your DDD after FEB 15. stop checking WMR as it may throw a flag and your chances of getting I’D Verify is greater..

No EICs or anything like that. I hope it is cleared soon. Does anything think that we have to do the whole ID verify that prolongs you getting your refund? I had to do it about 3 years ago and it was a pain and I think it was this same message.

                                                                                                                                      “I know TT 152 means DD. I also know that’s all anyone under PATH saw until they started processing refunds the middle of February. (how do you know?)

                                                                                                                                      Obviously there are a lot of new filers here and quite a few repeat filers with no common sense. *Also a lot of people who don’t pay in nearly as much as they’re getting back. You all shouldn’t be getting so worked up over free money that you didn’t earn to begin with*.”

                                                                                                                                      Sounds like pot calling the kettle black here. Who are you to tell everyone to ‘relax’ or to tell ‘some repeat filers’ they have no common sense while you’re putting false information in your posts about PATHers, Tax Topic 152, and talking about ‘a lot of people who don’t pay in nearly as much as they’re getting back. You all shouldn’t be getting so worked up over free money that you didn’t earn to begin with.’ A LITTLE JUDGMENTAL, AREN’T YOU? You even chided me about my own post: “Debbie T, I’m referring to the Tax Topic 152 message that the OP posted. That’s tye (sic) typical message that Path Act filers receive until the hold is lifted.” even after I pointed out that I am NOT a PATHer.

                                                                                                                                      Why don’t you stop pontificating and stop telling people to ‘relax’ when they are being faced with an unprecedented situation but no help to turn to? They come here to post their situation and try to get real answers, not your version of what they should or should not be feeling about it.

You can change your name but your idiotic hateful ways give you up. You should probably take a grammar course with your refund so you will know the proper use of the terms your and you’re.

A very small percentage of the US has even filed their taxes so it may be a few thousand but when you take into account that most everyone on these pages are in several groups, it’s not really a lot compared to the overall amount of filers.

That’s tye typical message that Path Act filers receive until the hold is lifted.

                                                                                                                                                    A couple of things: The PATH Act doesn’t apply to me in any way so that would not be the reason I see the new 9001 refund status message, as justwaiting mentioned. AND mine is the only SSN on my return and I have have the simplest 1040A return possible outside of a 1040EZ (same 1099Rs from state pension and SS, and same exact everything else but just a very tiny bit more income) so I highly doubt it’s because of an error. It was accepted originally and then it, and thousands, if not millions, got the new 9001 status. Also, in the past, I have many times gotten my direct deposit on or before the official opening day after filing early (usually around the 12th). IRS has had some hiccups in the past when they’ve had to rewrite tax code for new tax laws but this might be the first time there’s new tax laws AND furloughed workers. I believe this is a new situation with a wait-and-see outcome.

I will post a link below. Anyway, it mentioned that it’s not an audit flag, so things should be a quick fix either by you or by the IRS when the season opens a week from Monday.

Was accepted monday 1/15 and had 1 of 3 bars. By Wednesday I got the same message. I heard it is normal and not to put too much thought into it. I’ve never had this happen to me before, but at the same time it’s also the first year ever where I got my W2 and filed weeks before the official tax season began.

I hope they just send our refunds without much hassle since they are working for free ATM with this crazy shutdown

I think it is just a glitch, because so many people are receiving it at the same time. Also when I checked what code 9001 means and from my source it says it’s a glitch on the wheres my refund page. IMO they are just working out all problems before official opening day ~~hence Test Batch.

I suspect it probably happened for all of us that have been accepted previously. Hope it’s just a glitch and will be corrected tomorrow.
