STILL BEING PROCESSED, TAX TOPIC AND BARS DISAPPEARED

[Manders86]

My husband and I are weekly, so I checked our refund status this morning, and his bars have disappeared along with the tax topic and it says “still being processed”. When I checked under my social, the bar was still there showing processing and tax topic 152. We aren’t PATHers and didn’t claim EIC or ACTC. What gives? Why is his not showing but mine is?

[Eric]

Accepted 2/17 still processing on WMR, No DDD
Called today, I have to wait till the end of May due to a letter I received letting me know about topic 152 on WMR.
So if what I was told is true… Then whenever you received that letter or noticed the topic 152 on WMR that is when your 60 days start for the review process SMFH
If anyone has any info or has a accepted date around my date and received your refund please let me know

[Mz43]

i filed taxes feb 15 2021 now its april 24 2021 and wen i check wmr it still says processing i dont know wats happening here

[Uday]

Filed on 2/11 accepted on 2/14, i was waiting since then for my return, after repeated calls to IRS, and there standard message of 10 weeks, finally i got my Bars on WMR and Transcripts been updated to ddd date of 4/16, guys don’t lose hope.

[Yven]

@ Sabrown2017 mine says the exact same but does that mean we’re getting it tomorrow or on the 26th?

[Sabrown2017]

There is some hope everyone! Filed 2/12 accepted 2/12 bars disappeared 3/3 still hasn’t updated. Transcripts finally updated today 4/9 with a 846 DD of 4/15 or 4/26 whichever is later

[John]

I’ve looked at this site for years and like many others, I never went back to it til the following year once I got my return.
This was my first time having my bars disappear, TT disappear, “Still processing” early March. I was accepted on 2/12. My TT reappeared last week around Wednesday, and then I got a DDD of 4/7 on Friday.
I used freetaxusa, with CTC and EIC.No recovery rebate.

[randoo]

I also filed on the 2/18 and accepted 2/18 went from tax refund still processing then yesterday it went away and just had tt152 and file date dec 31 2020 but that dissapeared again this morning back to the same bullshit refund still processing this is soo fucking unfair fucking goverment/irs is such dog shit

[Stephanie]

My tt 152 is gone today and amount is back. 3/30 my return left errors and WMR showed tt 152 and tax year ending Dec 31, 2020. I’m thinking I might be a daily. Hopefully, I’ll see a DDD sometime next week and this will be all over. I’m a 2/18 accepted filer. Anyone have this same situation and then receive a DDD in a couple of days?

[Jaina]

Oh, to Netspend if that matters.

[Jaina]

Finally, FINALLY got my tax refund yesterday. Accepted 2/12. I was one of those whose line 30 was wrong. The IRS fixed it.

WMR never changed from “still processing.” My tax topic disappeared, briefly reappeared and disappeared again. Opposite for the amount. No letters in the mail. Couldn’t ever see my transcripts.

I pass my hope on to ye who still wait!

[Wdm]

File 2/11, accepted 2/13, 2/27 bars gone still being processed until now. 3/15 Got letter cp05 and Check my transcript but I did not see any code mentioned notice send. Now I’m confused what is going on here. Still No refund update yet. But if we owe money to irs they will hunting you like crazy.

[Tawans]

Hey everyone filed on the Feb 12th. Lost everything on March 6th. Today on April 3rd looked on site to still see the same damn message “still being processed, and date will be provided when available”. I feel like telling the F’n IRS how about I pay my taxes when I feel like it. Today makes 50 days with my damn money. With no information from the IRS or Turbotax

[CrazedinGA]

I finally was able to view my transcripts yesterday with code 971/570 I can see my expected amount with the 300 dollar correction that I knew was coming… did anyone else wait forever to get their return processed have these codes? If so, how long did it take to get a ddd? Stressed out

[Whatajoke]

@Al
I am in the same exact boat as you. Everything you’re saying happened to me. I’m hoping we don’t have to wait longer and we’ll just get a date soon.

[CrazedinGA]

I Finnair can see my transcripts today. I was exuding a stimulus adjustment as I entered a 300 dollar mistake. I can see that they adjusted my return amount by 300 , but I have the 570/971 with no 846 ddd. How long did it take for you to update with your ddd?

[Al]

@Whatajoke – yes, but they’re both at $0.00

[Whatajoke]

@Al
Same as you. Do you also have codes 971 and 570?

[Al]

My transcript was updated. Says ‘processed 4-19-21’ and gives an update on how much my account balance is (refund amount). But no DDD date.

Filed 2-12; accepted 2-13

What does this mean for DDD? Anyone know?

[Taxadam]

FINALLY UPDATED with DDD 4/7 after receiving 570/971. It was a stimulus rebate adjustment.
WMR still shows the “still processing” message.
Filed early feb and accepted 2/12.

[Uno]

4464c LETTER i mean*

[Juno]

Received 4883c letter 3/12 ID verified 3/12 the same day, status changed from “still processing” to “being processed” on 3/18. But yesterday 4/1 i received 4664c letter that is dated 3/29 wth is the suppose to mean saying theyll hold my refund again for 60 days after being released from IDVerfication on 3/12

[JLB1270]

Filed 1/11 accepted 2/11..id verified few weeks later and WMR changed from Still Being Processed to Being Processed. Lost bar and tax topic 152 on Feb 14th and they have not returned. Amount and filing status are still there. Transcripts finally updated yesterday but now have a code 570 at the bottom. No refund date. This is getting very frustrating.

[Kristine]

I filed on February 12 was accepted the same day when I called they said as of feb 16 it went to their processing department for further review could this be because I used my 2019 income for the EIC

[Drew]

@Darius
You should be able to create an account by using a credit card or any loans you have on file to verify. If you cannot verify this way the IRS will send you out a confirmation code for you to verify in order to create an account. That’s what I had to do.

[Drew]

@Gerry
If you look at your account transcripts the “as of date” should be mid way down to the right of the page. Below that should be previous stimulus’s that have been sent out, credits ect.

[Darius]

No bars, no ddd can’t create and account in irs.gov please help I do not have a credit card to anyone know how to do it.. also accepted 2/16/21. Filed for 2nd rebate credit never received 3rd both sent to the wrong account 2nd was mailed I never received it so 3rd say it will be mailed on the 26th or March please help.

[Gerry]

@brayb where does it state the as of date?

[Shawn B]

@kylady, call the TA line. 877-777-4778, you may have to call a lot to get the “your estimated hold time is..” but they will be able to actually look into your return. Just say you’re experiencing hardship. They will give you an actual answer of where you return is at currently.

[Rhonda]

Ridiculous! Filed 2/15 accepted 2/15
Status on wmr still being processed

Called today IRS and was given b.s everyone else has been given. No problems 10 weeks blahs blahs blahs!
So I asked if I haven’t received refund by what date do I call back? 4/25 is what I was told. I have never had it take this long to get my money back!!!!

[JLB1270]

@Drew Well, the only update I have is that my “as of” date changed yet again. It is now April 5th. No other changes at all. No bar, no tt, Being Processed, etc. I hope you get your stimulus soon, as well. It certainly is very frustrating indeed.

[Drew]

@Tai
No I didn’t have any funds taken out because I used one of IRS’s free tax services FreeTaxUsa. It was free of charge.

[Jasmine]

I filed 2/12 got accepted 2/13 and I am STILL seeing the “still being processed”. I have the 152 topic and have had it since last month. I cant access my transcripts and don’t know what or WHO to call to talk to someone cause evry number i have tried nobody answers, just automated messages.

[Tai]

@Drew :
Did u have funds taken out of your returns By a tax preparer such as Tax?

@dani:
Be patient , the congressman will reply

[Finally free]

Filed 2/10 accepted 2/12 , bars diss 2/22 came back 3/12 with TT 152 now 3/19 my transcripts updated to 2020 with DDD 3/22! Which is exactly what the irs representative told me which was I would receive my dd by 22nd! I think most of you will get updates really soon!

[Danni]

@taiwo Congrats i fax info to my congressman now waiting to hear something. It’s not like the irs gives me any info anyway!

[Drew]

@Tai,
I’m glad to hear your situation is settled now. @JLB1270, any luck or update on your end? Still awaiting stimulus payments here. Frustrating

[Danny]

@usuallylurking look for the code 846, it should have a DDD next to it with the amount in transcripts

[Danny]

@aquafina never lost my amount and remained T152, only lost bars for weeks

[UsuallyLurking]

I’m new here. My transcripts finally updated, but where do you guys see the DDD?

[Aquafina]

@Danny you never lost your amount or TT152? IM IN THE SAME BOAT IF SO….

[Danny]

Bars disappeared weeks ago with only amount, and T152. Finally, transcripts updated with DDD of 3/24. Bars still gone with T152.

[Crysta]

I filed 2/5, accepted 2/12
Bars disappeared quickly after. I’ve been going nuts but then yesterday my tax topic 152 came back but transcripts were n/a. WMR never updated but my transcripts did overnight and I have a refund date for next week.
Hope this helps.. it’s coming guys. Just slowly.

[Tai]

Finallly transcript updated from N/a to a DDD of 03/26

[Telecaster]

Today: TT 152 or whatever it is reappeared on my WMR while my refund amount has disappeared.

[Tai]

@dani:
I googled my senator up, and look at caseworkers for irs. The email address was listed on the senator’s website

[Zee]

@VJ

Exactly. The TAS can’t help us. I think the people who are being helped was assigned one weeks ago, but for those of us who tried to get one as of the last week or two cannot be assisted.

[Danni]

IF THERE IS NO IPDATE TOMORROW IM CONTACTING MY CONGRESSMAN!! @taiwo how did you contact yours? Just google congressman tax help??

[VJ]

@Zee

That was exactly told to me word by word. I spoke to the TA this morning and clearly told me that everything has been delayed and things are different this year. Its not worth trying the TA. They are not helping much.

[Tai]

@Drew:
Am optimistic 🙏, my advocate called to say that it pending but should either post tomorrow morning or next week Friday

[Drew]

@Tai
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see anything new on your transcripts at 4am tomorrow. Mine didn’t update until about 830/9 in the morning. But they did update! You should have a DDD by tomorrow

[Zee]

CORRECTION

****IRS

[Zee]

@Missandy

Yeah that was me that said that about the TAS. I definitely didn’t make that up but you all are welcome to contact them if you can get through. I called and have spoken to the ITS a total of 6 times and each time I have been told to allow up to the 10 weeks which I think it’s ultimately come down to for us. Some will get theirs before the 10 weeks, some of us possibly after.

[Tai]

[Missandy]

I heard by reading another blog that the advocates are no longer assisting with people in situations like ours. Plus, I can’t even get thru to one and I’ve contacted my congressman weeks ago.
Does anyone else know if this is true? Or heard the same news?

[Gerry]

Hey @taiwo,

Did you contact IRS at all that may have sped things up? And are you filing for HOH by any chance?

Still in the still being processed phase.

[Drew]

@JLB1270
Thank you, I appreciate that. Hopefully you see some changes soon for your refund.

[Drew]

@Tai

Same happened for me last Wednesday into Thursday went from still being processed to being processed. Take a look at you account transcripts. Those changes for me either Thursday or the next day being Friday.

[Tai]

@Drew :
When did your transcript changed from N/A to DDD

[Tai]

UPDATE:
WMR just changed from still being processed to we have received your return and it is being processed, still no bars and N/A on transcript

[JLB1270]

@Drew Still waiting on tax $ but did get stimulus as mentioned before. My stimulus is not showing on my account transcript. Only the first two are showing.

[Drew]

Anyone still waiting on the stimulus? For people who’ve received their stimulus checks, are the amounts and dates they were deposited being shown on your tax transcripts?

[Tai]

@VJ
I will go through a congressman. Getting a tax advocate is a 50-50 game. Sometimes it really slows down the returns with respect to the advocate you get. A good advocate will get your returns released in 2 weeks. A bad advocate can slow things down.

[VJ]

@Drew

Thanks a lot for the information!

[Drew]

@VJ

You can contact an IRS tax advocate if you are having issues with getting your refund or your having issues with the IRS forms or having issues resolving issues with the IRS. . Their number is 1877 777 4778.

[VJ]

@taiwo
What is the process of contacting the Tax Advocate? How does this work?

[Kimberly]

@athena
now that you see a DD on your transcript, has the where’s my refund tool updated to reflect that as well? Or does it still say that it is just processing?

[Mr Nic]

If you call right at 6:59/7:00am CST you can get someone on the line within minutes. If you wait to 7:05 you’ll probably have a long wait or either told to try again later due to high call volume.

[Tai]

Update:
My TA said he has forwarded a request to the irs to release my refunds not later than 03/19.
My return transcript is still N/A
I hope they listen . Would update my timeline if I get an update. My verification has been complaining, which I did through congressional assistance

[Star]

@Drew I called 800-829-3676 “forms” line, a live operator got on and asked me what department I wanted to be transferred too , I told her personal income taxes and I was transferred first time speaking with someone and I’ve been trying since feb 21st . Smh

[VJ]

@Drew

The number you can call at is 800-829-0582/Ext 652. You still have to try multiple times but eventually you will get them.

[Drew]

@uno
After I ID verified the next update which was a Wednesday into Thursday I went from still processing to being processed. I would give it another day or two to see if anything changes for you. Hopefully you should see a change this week.
Btw what number has everyone been calling? I’ve tried the 18008291040 and it says it’s a non working number??

[LolaR]

@taiwo last year and the year before my husband got an ID Verify..called and passed the verification and 2 months later, called to check on status and they said he didn’t complete the id verify and had to do it again. This happened a total of 4 times each year. Your best bet is to get a TA after you call to check the status after two weeks.

[uno]

ID verified on friday, and passed. But i have not seen any update on WMR though? it says “still processing, a refund date will be provided etc etc” should i wait tomorrow or thursday? they do mass updates wednesdays, correct?

[Star]

I finally got thru to someone that the IRS been calling for a month now. Smh
Filed 2/12
Accepted 2/13
Finally I spoke to someone for them to tell me my acct hasn’t even been selected for review so it’s just been sitting there since 2/12 n to give it 10 weeks since the acceptance date 🤦🏻‍♀️😑😑😑 fml . That’s around April 23 🤔 They on super major bullshit.

[Drew]

@vj

[Drew]

@Manders86

Creating an account on the IRS.GOV website and verifying yourself is different then having an ID verification letter sent out to you and having to verify yourself that way for your taxes. I too created an IRS account verified myself and was still sent out an ID verification letter a month and a half later so they could process my return.

[athena]

Hi All. Transcripts updated to show DD of 3/19.
Filed 2/9
Accepted 2/12
Lost bars and TT 3/1
Called IRS 3/5
Called Tax Advocate 3/10 (couldn’t help until 3/26 but said no letters, errors, etc. mailed)
TT 152 returned & refund amount disappeared 3/13
Transcripts updated 3/16 for DD 3/19
MFJ / Unemployment & W2 / EIC & ACTC
Side note: No adjustment was made to my refund for my unemployment

[Jrdub]

I called the irs and they said my stimulus line 30 said I didn’t receive them and I was requesting them and in fact I told them that I did get them because I did so how could that be holding my tax refund up I didn’t ever put that I needed them they asked I said yes and told them how much I received but because of this idk if I’m gonna get my taxes or not they said they will have an answer in 10 weeks someone please help me understand

[Drew]

@ hernandez

Those are security questions that IRS reps ask you in order to get into your account. I know 971 means a letter was issued or sent out. You may want to call to ask them if they’ve sent you out a letter to ID verify.

[Felicia]

I think I had to ID verify. The very first time I called to the spanish line. A lady asked me my mothers maiden name, my fathers name, and something else I cant remember. Then her systems weren’t working. The other 2 times I called they never brought it up again. I have transcripts with codes 971 and 570 dated 03/29/21. IDK what is taking so long.

[jmc21]

IRS is more than likely holding your tax return to process new guidance issued yesterday by the IRS concerning the newest COVID relief laws. IF you had unemployment benefits from 2020, more than likely they are going to adjust the first $10200 (per adult) as non taxable which could increase your refund amount WITHOUT having to file an amendment.

[VJ]

@Manders86

From my understanding, they update every night. I never got any verification letter but for the first time I was able to create an account in irs.gov and verified it fine although I saw N/A for 2020. No updates in WMR whatsoever and I am not sure anything is happening at all.Its just a waiting game and there is nothing much we cannot do.

[uno]

ID verified on friday, and passed. But i have not seen any update on WMR though? it says “still processing, a refund date will be provided etc etc” should i wait tomorrow or thursday? they do mass updates wednesdays, correct?

[Sylvia]

wondering if anyone has had to id verify in person and if it takes longer I finally got my letter and waited about 4 hours to get through just to be told I wouldn’t be able to verify over the phone and need to make a appointment in person.

[Vj]

@ taiwo

Thanks a lot Tai for the information.Much appreciated!

[Tai]

@VJ
It is usually a verification issue, but this is my opinion
The irs didn’t process the return as a way of not overloading the slow and old computer system. It sounds ideal to throw this returns either into review or errors department or identity verification to control the pace at which the returns comes in.
Am certain that once your return is in the master file, you will have your 2020 transcript available.

[VJ]

@taiwo
I had called them on Friday and they had stated that it just getting delayed and wanted to know whether I have been sent a letter of verification or anything else at all but they confirmed that they did not at this point. Not sure what is going on.

[Guy101]

What number do you call?

[Tai]

@VJ
It means the returns has not been processed yet.
You might want to call and figure out what’s going on. At least that’s a starting point

[VJ]

Little help needed here.

I was finally able to get to login to irs.goc ->get your tax record page. 2020 shows as NA. Why does it show that? Is it something bad? My tax filing was accepted on 13th Feb. Infact I have received my state refund. Little confused.

[Drew]

@Guy101
Look at those transcripts your answers will be within them.

[Guy101]

Both my state and federal now have a return transcript for 2020. Does this mean I should be getting them soon?

[JLB1270]

@Drew Thank you. I will keep you updated.

[Tai]

@Drew
Are you a weekly or daily

[Drew]

@brayb

It doesn’t make much sense how they process our returns. I’m hoping you get an answer or refund date this coming week.

[JLB1270]

@Drew It doesn’t make sense at all, does it? The funny thing is I did receive my stimulus payment yesterday yet no tax $$ yet and you are the opposite. Hopefully you will be getting your stimulus soon and I will get my tax refund $$ lol…

[Drew]

@ mitctm7

Hey have you tried going to Irs.gov to take a look at your transcripts? You should be able to gather some information off of there to find out what’s going on. Or try calling.

[mitctm7]

i did my taxes 2/14 was accepted 2/15 for like a week i had bars and now i dont its been pass 21 days. my turbo said i was to get it on the 3/8 but i didnt and the bars are gone plus topic 152 is showing and its also saying still began processed. help..

[Drew]

@thicks

That makes sense as far as being flagged and not getting processed until after you’ve identified yourself.
@JLB1270 At this point I’m not even sure how they go about processing after you’ve ID verified because you should have had a DDD before me seeing as how you verified a week prior to me. I haven’t received the stimulus yet, wondering how they are distributing them this time around.

[McCaig]

@ Johnyhasagun

I am in exactly the same situation as you. I got my letter in the mail this morning. It was mailed March 12th exactly one month after my return was accepted. No stimulus for me also

[Johnyhasagun]

Also I read somewhere that 1/3 taxpayers are getting hit with the idv this year.

[Johnyhasagun]

Filed 2/10 eitc atc no look back 2 kids 1 from 2020

Rejected bc tt 2 times had to manually go un with id instead of agi and bday was wrong after typing it in 2 times
Accepted 2/13 double checked
Just receive my 5071c today a month to the day later
Vant verify my phone but had already asked for verification letter for my transcripts to be sent. I’m going to try to call Monday at 7 am.

No stimulus at all probably because of the 5071c and wmrebate says nothing

[thicks]

@Drew: No. If the IRS flags your return for IDV — meaning they suspect fraudulent activity — they don’t look at your return at all. Only after you pass IDV will they begin to examine any of the information on your return.

[JLB1270]

@Drew Update: My “as of” changed back to Mar 15th and I received my stimulus via dd today. Nothing else has changed though. Being processed, no tt no bars $$ and ss# on left and top transcripts still N/A. Going on two weeks since i id verified so hoping something soon. I am a weekly like you but wondering if that even matters after you id verify or if they just get it to you when it is done processing. I will keep this updated.

[Tai]

@Drew
Am optimistic

[Drew]

@taiwo
I’d like to think they’d go over returns and check for serious issues before sending out an ID verification notice. One would think that would be the last step they’d have to do if you had to verify your identity before lifting your refund. I’m sure you’ll be good to go shortly and you’ll have your refund. I’d check again Monday/Tuesday to see any changes in your status.

[thicks]

@taiwo: Tai, I personally can’t recall seeing anyone who passed IDV have another problem that made them wait more than two or three weeks afterward for their refund, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anyone who’s experienced that.

[Tai]

@thicks
What are the other problems you have seen folks have after a successful ID verification?

[Drew]

I was advised 9 weeks as well and my WMR updated throughout the night bars are back with a ddd of March 17th. So I don’t think it’s going to take the nine weeks for you or anyone that had to ID verify, unless you have other issues with your return.

[Tai]

Friends do not stress on access date, whenever your return is accessed , the As of date updates, if it moves forward with no codes or cycle , it means the computer couldn’t process it. If your As of date moves backward , it is because of them accessing the stimulus information on your account.

[Tai]

@Drew
Was also told to allow 9 weeks to process

[Tai]

@Drew
I was told my case was closed 03/11
Although I used a tax advocate for my verification
But I haven’t updated yet. Transcript N/A

[Drew]

@Hannah
Could be possible however my stimulus and dependent wasn’t shown on mine. They may be releasing them at diff stages???

[Drew]

@Tai
Received identification letter March 6th, I called and ID verified on Monday the 8th. I was told Wednesday my issue closed and it was onto processing. Wmr updated Wednesday night from still being processed” to “being processed”. Transcripts were N/A up until Today, Transcripts available and transcripts says refund 3/17.

[Hannah]

I’ve been checking my transcripts and today mine updated in the middle of the day. Finally show the 846 with dd 3/17 same as my stimulus so as I was thinking since it took so long this time was because they were waiting on the stimulus just to process it all as one I had the 570 code now updated to the 571 as issue resolved. Basically our fund were being held till the stimulus passed.

[Tai]

@Drew
Can you please share a timeline of your ID verification to when you got an update.
Want to know how many days apart

[Drew]

@JLB1270
That’s really odd. I don’t think they know what they’re doing and processing fast enough. I don’t understand the “as of” date. They also have my return date being received April 15th. Doesn’t make sense. It still shows on the IRS website they haven’t processed my 2020 return yet, however all transcripts are their on the website. Maybe it just hasn’t updated yet who knows.

[JLB1270]

@Drew Yes, I just rechecked…same as before the Jan 18 290 from second stimulus…it’s crazy, isnt it? Dont get the as of date changing yet again…but I see others saying changed to Mar 29th too…

[Drew]

@Doc

Just another generic message to tell tax paying Americans! That’s our tax system for ya!

@JLB1270

You didn’t have any information added onto your account transcript 2020? Did you look at the bottom of transcript? I couldn’t imagine mine would go through before yours considering I just verified this week and your going on what 2 weeks?

navy federal i see it pending in my account the stimulus. still no taxes though lol

[Bonnie]

For any that are wondering. Mine still shows the same.. no tt has ever been there. Just still processing. BUT I did receive the stimulus payment in my account today. It’s pending until the 17th then it will be available. So, that’s something anyway :)

[JLB1270]

@Drew Thank you for the update. Congratulations! I am not so lucky. Still N/A and my “as of” date changed to Mar 29th now from Mar 15th. WMR the same. I will keep this updated.

What number did you guys use to call them? Ive been using the 1040 and i get the same thing every time. Its been 2 weeks and it’s frustrating cause bills dont stop

[Drew]

@miss b

I’m sorry to hear that, that’s very unfortunate. Unfortunately you cannot ID verify online without the notice. An IRS agent should be able to tell you if you have any errors or in fact if you have to ID verify. They can see if a letter has been sent out. You could also try calling the advocate line for the IRS

[Miss B]

What happens if you just Id verify without a letter? I can’t get they to anyone to even find out if I have to ID verify….. I am currently in domestic dispute and cannot check my mail or ask my ex if if anything came

[charles rodriguez]

So i have called the irs 3 times and have gotten 3 different answers with some of the same rhetoric, but the last operator was a little more helpful and said i have a code 900 with alert can anyone tell me what that is?

[Drew]

@uno

I’d also encourage you to log onto irs.gov to look at your transcripts. Sometimes you can get more info looking into them than you do the IRS reps.

[Drew]

@ uno

No you don’t have to call them to have your status changed. Honestly if you call them all they are going to tell you is you just verified and you’ll have to wait the 6-9 weeks. They won’t even look any further into your account. As long as everything else is ok with your taxes you’ll be process and your status will change from “still being processed” to “being processed”.

[uno]

@Drew

Do i have to call them to get my status change? or should i wait for an update? it’ll go from “still being processed” to “being processed” right?

[Drew]

@uno

I called the IRS on Monday the 8th reverified and my WMR status changed from “still processing” to “being processed” overnight Wednesday into Thursday. I woke up this morning and my transcripts had been updated and I was able to view my 2020 tax return even though the IRS website said my tax return hadn’t been processed. You should see a change by next week.

[Drew]

@uno

I’m sure everyone’s situation is different but for me I had to ID verify. The IRS REP told me the 5071c letter was sent out on feb 24th. I didn’t receive the letter until March 6th and the letter had been dated March 2nd. So there was a delay in what the IRS REP told me. I verified on the 6th online and had a feeling it didn’t go through even though I received confirmation.

[uno]

@drew

This happened to you as well? if so, how long did you wait for the WMR to update from “still being processed refund date will be provided once available” to whatever status would show after the ID verification.

[Drew]

@uno

No I don’t believe it will take 6-9 weeks as representatives say. Most people are saying between a week or two.

[uno]

@Drew

Does it usually takes 6-9 weeks before it hits my account like the lady told me?

[uno]

@Drew

Does it usually takes 6-9 weeks before it hits my account ?

[Angie B]

My informed delivery says IRS is sending me a letter today. 🤞Hope it’s not another blank sheet of paper!

[Drew]

@uno

After verifying and passing they generally close out that phase and send your return along to the next to be processed. Usually takes about a week or two, your tax return will get resequenced. Look at below comments by members like @thick.

[johnalex]

i have the answers check out my post i got off the phone with irs about an hour ago

[uno]

Finally got my ID verification letter, verified and pass, now they released my refund. how long does it actually take before it gives us DDD?

[Drew]

@Mamax5

Does it say DDD 3/17 or Refund date 3/17? It’s confusing to me because this years the first year I’m doing DD and it doesn’t say DD it says refund 3/17

[Drew]

@jlb1270

@christina
@Mamax5

I would suggest checking your transcripts again. Mine literally just updated within the last 10 minutes. They were N/A before and now they are there.

[Christina]

I feel like Im about to get an update. Accepted 2/11, WMR bars disappeared last week. Today my as of changed from 2/22 to 3/29 and my WMR now has tax topic 152 back and amount gone on the left. Ill be checking my transcripts through out the day today

[Drew]

@JLB1270

Check your 2020 account transcripts. Mine updated overnight to as of return filed 3/15 to 3/29 and shows refund as of 3-17. I’m hoping this is the DDD.

[Mamax5]

I filed 1/25
Accepted 2/11
I used look back, unemployment, ctc, eic..
I finally got updated account transcripts.. n/a still at top
Ddd 3/17!!
My as of date was 2/22 and now says 3/29

Also WMR still says “processing…”
Hang in there!!!! I tried calling all day yesterday but never got through!

[Drew]

@juno

I’m not sure when or if they will hold the third stimulus. They may very well go off your 2019 return if they are trying to push payments out there. As for your ID verification letter. Hold tight it’s on it’s way. I was told my verification letter was sent out on feb 24th, when I received it on March 6th the letter was dated March 2nd. So you can’t always go by what the IRS reps tell you when it was sent out. I believe they are sent out in batches.

[Drew]

@thicks

Appreciate that information!

[juno]

for the people got their federal refund on hold due to ID theft or letter 5071c in short, would this affect our 3rd stimulus coming soon? would they hold it as well? i havent gotten any 5071c letter yet.

[JLB1270]

@Drew I am with you..hopefully tonight or tomorrow….I am staying up late to see if it updates and will post if it does. I know you will do the same. Good luck!

[JLB1270]

@thicks Thank you so much for the help! I am saying prayers here. That gives me a lot of hope that it is coming soon. I will keep you updated!

[thicks]

@brayb: JLB1270 and Drew, when I had to IDV last year, I had the “still being processed” message — searching for the text of the WMR message is how I found this website in late February, 2020. A couple of days after I called and passed the IDV “test,” WMR for me updated to, “We have received your return and it is being processed.” After that, it was just a wait until I got the DDD on WMR, which took about a week. Apparently, after you IDV, you’re resequenced (moved to the next available space at the back of the line).

[JLB1270]

@thicks Thank you for the information! Do you know what it means when the “still being processed” message goes to “being processed”? I have heard that it is a good sign. Do you know? Drew and I are in that boat and we both had to verify id. Ours updated to that overnight.

[Drew]

I am also March 15th

[Drew]

@JLB1270

Ok that makes sense. I believe I am cycle 05 as well. Hopefully there will be updates for the both of us tonight or tomorrow night. Would love to have transcripts up by the weekend. Keep me updated on your situation as I will do with mine. I’m thinking we should be moving along now.

[Cherie]

I just read that they are back logged and most of the people that have had the still being processed will have a refund by the 22nd yeah we will see sure hope its true

[thicks]

The “As of” date IS NOT — I repeat, IS NOT — related in any way to when the IRS expects to finish processing your return.

The line is referring to the accrual of interest and penalties. Whenever the IRS looks at an account — for whatever reason, even if it’s years after the return was filed — it will update that “As of” date.

The IRS’s method of indicating when they process your return is with the cycle code. That’s the ONLY thing that tells you when it was processed — NOT the “processing date,” which is postdated.

[JLB1270]

@Drew Thank you. I will do the same. From what I gather, the “as of” means that it is the date they expect to have your return processed. I was “as of Mar 1st” then switched to the 15th. Are you also the 15th? A lot of people are saying they just say 9 weeks because it is a scripted format but can be a lot faster. Are you a weekly, (05)? I am so hopefully some updates tonight and tomorrow. Good luck to us both! Fingers crossed.

[Drew]

@jlb1270

I’ll keep you updated. I’m in the same boat as you, can’t access transcripts they are n/a no tt either. What’s the deal with the transcripts as of March 15th? I don’t understand that. I only just verified this past Monday, the rep said it was closed out and it would go to be processed. There’s no reason they need to take 9 weeks to process and accept a simple tax form

[JLB1270]

@Drew The same for me. I went from “Still Being Processed” which it has been on since Feb 15th to “Being Processed” overnight. I still have the $$ showing , filing status ss# but no bar or tt. N/A on transcripts..as of Mar 15th. I also verified id 5071c letter 2 weeks ago. Please keep this updated..I will also.

[Bonnie]

I still don’t get it… back logged? Then why aren’t they taking them in the order received. I submitted mine on Feb 8th. Accepted Feb 10th. My son filed and was accepted on Feb 13th. He has child tax credit. He received his over a week ago. Mine still sitting on processing with no tax topic listed. It is so very frustrating!! As I’m sure all of you know lol

[Juno]

CAN SOMEONE ANSWER ME THIS?

So my federal refund is on hold for ID VERIFICATION, im currently waiting on the letter, but i received my state refund tho, but anyways would that affect the new stimulus 1,400$, would they hold it as well?

[NoTaxMoneyHunny]

I just got off the phone with IRS for the second time this week, and he told me that my return had been in the “erroneous dept.” for 16 days… abs then had the audicity to say it’s still in the early stages… 16 days is early!!! I’m over it at this point.

[Drew]

That is frustrating, what’s even more frustrating is after 129 calls and attempts to get in line to speak to someone within the IRS there are very few representatives that are really willing to give you a real explanation. They have everything in front of them, but more than half only care to give a basic reasoning.

[FRUSTRATED]

got thru– said mine has a simple error code of 100 which she said was better than some she’s seen (900–takes up to 10 wks to resolve) where mine can take 2 weeks. it’s all because of the stimulus questions asked when filing.

[ejmom]

I am praying for update tomorrow, I am weekly. Lost bars and tt 152 last week then tt 152 returned on yesterday but still have n/a on transcripts, if no update tomorrow I hope sometime next week, called IRS but it is the same robotic script they give everyone…… give more time-check back on monday-slight error but ok now-they do not see any issues and I have not had a letter issued. Good luck everyone!

[Cookie215]

I filed and was accepted on 02/11 my bars and tax topic 152 disappeared on 03/02 with the message your tax return is still being processed a refund date will be provided when available. On 03/05 or 03/06 my tax topic 152 reappeared with the same message. Today my wmr updated with a ddd of 03/15. I claimed CTC, EIC, ACTC, I had unemployment and also used the look back option(2019 income).

[aurora7744]

Filed 2/10
Accepted 2/12.
Path, EIC, CTC.
Had one bar with TT152 for 2 weeks. Changed last week to no bars and no TT. Called the IRS. Told me there are no errors showing. He can see where they have received it and they are asking for 10 weeks instead of the normal 3 weeks to catch up on processing. He says they are delayed from some unexpected closures. I would guess from the TX hubs during the snowstorm. I know a lot of people are getting this same answer. I am just glad there are no errors.

[Drew]

Went from “still processing your return” to “return being processed” overnight. Whatever that means. I’m hoping the ID verification was complete and it won’t take the whole 9 weeks that was stated by IRS reps

[Stephanie]

Got ahold of the IRS today. I got both stimulus checks so when I filed I stated that I did and the amount, well it still got sent in for further review for some reason and that I didn’t get my stimulus and is now on hold for up to 10 weeks. Filed the 31st, accepted the 12th. Says still processing. No bars. No tax article.

[Zombie shark]

If you are past 21 days with no notices from the irs AND you’re experiencing financial hardship call the tax advocate service at 877-777-4778. They told me my return was in the errors dept (a very common answer apparently) I’m still on hold to get more info beyond that but atleast it is something. Hold time for me was 15-30 minutes

[Angel]

You know I really could care less about them being back logged. My bills are not hearing that. I did not get the last stimulus and hopefully since I have filled I will get the upcoming stimulus sent to the right account. Ridiculous. No one cares about a back logged!

[Angela]

I was already denied the 2nd stimulus. Covid 19 completely wiped out my job and I was depending on the extra money. So I claim it on my taxes, just so the government can penalize me by holding my refund to make sure they didn’t give it to me??? I’m going by the comments. I have yet to get through to the IRS by phone. This really sucks! I have a lot riding on my refund that can’t wait any longer. Our government is some kind of wonderful.

[VJ]

@ Jay0623

That was exactly what was told to me. Filed on 12th Feb and accepted on 13th Feb

[Jay0623]

I finally got a hold of the irs. Basically was useless told me all I can do is sit back and wait for another 10 weeks! I filled 02/12/21 got accepted 02/13/21!

[juno]

@DREW

What was the questions u were asked for ID verification?Just in case i get the letter today. so i know what papers to pull out.

[Stephanie G]

I filed the 31st. It got accepted on the 12th of February. I filed a married joint return with 2 children. I have no bars showing on my WMR and no tax article. I have also not received a letter in the mail. I also filed through credit karma tax for the first time. I cannot get ahold of anyone! It hangs up on me after it tells me the line is busy. Cross our fingers that they come soon right?! Do you guys think that once this new stimulus gets signed will it affect this refund again?

[RayC]

Called the IRS 3 different times this morning and got the same recording. Due to heavy call volume we cannot take your call…Goodbye. IRS might be slow walking the refunds/processing because they are waiting for the 3rd stimulus to be done so they can process it all at once

[Kittykat]

Last year I was a weekly. 05 but this year I updated last Tuesday on wmr to no bars and tt152 which I still have. I can’t access transcripts online

[Zee]

For everyone that has their TT152 today are y’all Dailies or weeklies? (If you know what that is)

[Kittykat]

So many people are saying they lost tt152 then it came back now have ddd. I haven’t lost tt152 has anyone gotten ddd when it said still being processed and never lost tt152. I have no access to transcripts so just kinda going off what everyone is saying. Which is really hard because you all day something different.lol

[Sandra]

I just got off the phone with the irs. Last week I lost all bars on wmr with your refund is still being processed, a refund date will be provided when available. I checked this Monday and my bars are still gone but now I have tax topic 152 .The gentleman I spoke with told me if I have that tax topic it means my refund was resequenced and I now have to wait 28 days not 21 .He said I should see my refund next week .I hope this helps !

[JHOTBOY2NV]

SPOKE TO THE IRS TODAY AGAIN MY REFUND WAS PULLED FOR REVIEW 14 DAYS AGO AND YESTERDAY TAX TOPIC 152 SHOWED BACK UP WITH NO REFUND AMOUNT, THE LADY TELLS MS THAT THE CORRECTION REVIEW WAS DONE AND IT WAS BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE CLAIMED THE STIMULUS WHEN THEY HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED IT, SO ONCE THAT’S DONE IT BACK TO NORMAL PROCESSING WHICH CAN TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS I KNOW IT SUCKS BUT THAT’S THE BEST INFO I HAVE FOR NOW

[STILLBEINGPROCESSED]

They shouldn’t hold our stimulus even though they won’t process refunds. Thats what I was told on the phone. But who honestly knows

[Drew]

@juno

If your taxes were pulled for ID verification you may have to wait for the letter. I received my Id verify letter last week and went online to verify. I didn’t have to input anything that was on the letter into into verifying who I was. If you know you need to ID VERIFY you could try verifying your identity by going to the website https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-fraud-scams/identity-verification-for-irs-letter-recipients

[Sasha]

I can’t get in to look at my transcript and I have no code when I check my status. I’ve tried calling the irs and the call volume is so high. It’s been way over 21 days.

[Ejmom]

tt 152 is back on when I checked wmr this morning. Still n/a on transcripts

[juno]

can someone pls answer this? So i called the IRS friday, they said expect a letter for ID verification so im guessing 5071c, my federal refund is on hold until i receive a letter and call them, would they hold the new stimulus coming for me as well? hope not. i got the 1st and 2nd though.

[@ohiomomx3]

@ tex

Wmr says that every year after they receive you tax return so it’s nothing new but I do believe that is a good thing if it says ‘still being processed ‘ that’s when there is something wrong so as long as your seeing that your all good

[Mommaof2]

I e filed through turbo tax around the end of January.

I was accepted and sent an advance on the 10th of feb. The 27th i lost my tt152. My status bar and went to “still processing”

Yesterday morning i woke up and wmr updated with the tt152 but my refund amount was gone. So this morning at around 6 [it hadnt updated at midnight for me] the wheres my refund page has my refund amount again, the status bar is back. I am APPROVED and my refund is scheduled to hit the 12th!

[Mommajess33]

In case anyone’s confused..my WMR updated to “a check will be mailed by March 15th, 2021” that’s how I know that, and that was my
Point in commenting. That someday you’ll update or get a letter saying you need to verify.

[Mommajess33]

READ THREADS MORE THAN A FEW COMMENTS DEEP you’ll see this already happened to a full group of filers that now have their bars back or have gotten a DD. I didn’t have to do anything at all, bars disappeared,lost TT152,TT152 came back,all that, and now I’m just waiting for my check in the mail around the 15th because I don’t do direct deposit. Don’t call the IRS because I’m sure you’ll get a BS answer and freak yourself out, all you can do is wait For a letter or update.

[TYRELLESTOKES]

I filed my taxes Feb17th . ‘ along with my boyfriend he went to another company then me & received his return march3rd via DD . and I only had 1 bar at the time now I have none . I haven’t received a letter and this hasn’t ever happened to me I’ve been filing since 2016 with no problems always in the 1st or 2nd batch . what is going on. We filed on the same day just different places!

[Drew]

@thick

Thank you! Although I do find it absolutely absurd that one would have to ID verify only to possibly have another letter sent to them due to another problem. That’s the issue, it’s this back and fourth battle with them. If one should have their return pulled for ID verification the entire return should be looked at for other issues so letters can be sent at the same time.

[Jenny]

*WHO ALREADY CONTINUE TO SUFFER AND WILL CONTINUE AS LONG AS THE IRS HOLDS OUR FUNDS.

[thicks]

They’re trained to say that it takes up to 9 weeks (and the 5071C letter says that, also), but in all likelihood you’ll get your refund within 2-3 weeks after successfully IDV’ing, as long as they don’t find any other problems with your return.

(They don’t actually open or look at the return at all, if it gets flagged for IDV until after passing.)

[Jenny]

@IRSemployeeHERE

ENOUGH EXCUSES FORM THE IRS. UNLICK MOST PLACES YOUR DEPT IS FULLY STAFFED AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR RETURNS TO BE TAKING SO LONG, RETURNS WERE ACCEPTED BEFORE THE 12th OF FEB AND ARE STILL BEING HELD HOSTAGE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AMERICANS ARE SUFFERING AND NEED THEIR MONEY. NOT TO MENTION IF MOST AMERICANS TAXES AREN’T COMPLETE BEFORE THIS COVID BILL IS PASSED FUNDS WILL BE DELAYED AND IT’LL JUST MAKE IT HARDER ON ALOT AMERICAN PEOPLE BARELY SURVIVING ALREADY.

[Drew]

Has anyone I’d verified and received their refund back yet? I was one of those individuals who received a 5071c letter asking I verify my identity. System says it takes 9 weeks to process. Would like to know if this is a range and if refund would possibly come sooner. Anyone experience this and what was your situation? How soon did you receive refund after verifying?

[Delores Rakhimov]

I’ve been trying to see what is going on with my taxes since I first filed which was on Feb 13th and when I checked the status on the IRS app I had my bars but two days later the bars disappeared my future depends on these taxes and when I check the app all I keep getting is “we have received your tax return it is being processed” and this has not changed not one bit which is crazy because I’ve never had this problem before so if anyone knows any information

I filed 2/9, it was received 2/16. My bars disappeared sometime last week. I called today, was told my refund was randomly selected for review 😟

Wondering if we owed if we can have 10 extra weeks to pay…..

[IRSemployeeHERE]

PLEASE READ:

ALL TAXES ARE GOING THROUGH CHANGES. PERIOD. SOME ARE DONE BEFORE OTHERS BECAUSE OF THESE FOLLOWING REASONS:
• NEXT IN LINE
• NO ERROR NOR ID VERIFICATION
• BACKLOG

WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO ASK FOR 10 ADDITIONAL WEEK BECAUSE OF PANDEMIC AND THE CONSIDERATION OF PAST STIMULUS AND THIS NEXT STIMULUS TO PASS.

CODES IF ANY:

ALL CODES IS ARE PROCESSES, HAVING NO CODE MEANINGS NOTHING. INFACT ITS BETTER THEN RECEIVING SOMETHING IN THE MAIL..

846 IS THE GOLDEN GATES

[Lorie]

Accepted on 2/12. On WMR had one bar & on 3/2 bars disappeared &got the same statement as everyone else. Spoke to many IRS representative’s, told no errors, everything was fine, just give it time they are backed up. on 3/8, spoke with IRS rep and told Ive been in the Errors Depart for the last 13 days. Called today 3/9, told I am in the Corrections depart, give it 10 weeks.

[Idkwhattoput]

@Guy101 you press option 2 then option1 then option 3 then option 2. Itll ask for social twice. Ignore. Then hit option 2 then option 4.

[Need my money]

will there be a update overnight tonight 🤔

[Willie]

I also just finish talking to one of the representatives and they told me they are running behind to give them ten weeks the most from the time your was received

[Gage Johnson]

I called 92 times back to back until I finally reached a live person. I e-filed 1/30 was accepted 2/12. Since 3/1 i have maintained no bars with a still processing message with tt152. The guy said many people that e-filed early received an unknown error (he couldn’t tell me what the error was) and wrongfully sent to an error processing department. He said they are processing these refunds out of this department as quickly as possible and I can expect a refund anywhere between 1-10 weeks.

[Gage]

After calling 92 times back to back I finally reached someone. I e-filed 1/30 and was accepted 2/12. 3/1 No bars and still being processed with tt152. The guy told me that early filers were given unknown errors and put in a department for errors by mistake. They are processing them out of this department as quickly as possible and that I could expect a refund anywhere between 1-10 weeks.

[NKBP]

Since the WMR maintenance this weekend, I have been in the same situation with my WMR. I received an IRS letter Saturday about my stimulus checks, confirming they had been direct deposited. I’ve tried to check my transcript but can’t get my id confirmed with any of the options. I’m encouraged to hear many of you getting your refunds this week. I hope mine follows soon. Filed TT, Accepted 2/12, EITC, Self Employment Income along with W-2, well below 50K a year income.

[al441j]

@K.G Im pretty sure what No TT code means is the return has been pending for more than 21 days and still has not been looked at, When it gets a tt code it has been looked at and then the DD is in the way or there is another issue

[K.G]

@Krystal…..Thnx sweetheart!!! I filed 2/12 also… I believe the STILL just represents a letter at possible to some, but not always the case… I haven’t recieved a letter yet so I believe would of done recieved one….🙏🙏EIC of 4 granbabies for the 3 rd year…😁…. last year didn’t get til July but was understandable… Thank you for your input, Now I can relax and wait better…🤪Good luck and God Bless!!

[Krystal]

@K.G that is exactly how my sisters was accept she lost her tt152 a week after acceptance and hers was in her bank this morning. However, her WMR still reads like yours and mine does even with having received her refund. I believe whole heartedly it’s fine and is just taking them longer. I know so Many of us need it and for many of us we will get it :)

[K.G]

@Krystal… thank you! I lost bar and lost TT152 over weekend…it’s saying has been recieved and is Being Processed… No Still being processed…u think I’m ok?

[Krystal]

I would like to say to those of you that keep saying no TT 152 is bad. Please stop that. That is not at all accurate. Many have had theirs disappear and still received thier DDD my sister is one who status reads like so many of us: no tt152, still being processed, date not avaliable yet, trans n/a. She got her refund this morning and her WMR still reads the exact same. She also filed 2/12 just as I did and would be considered a path acct. best wishes to everyone.

[Krystal]

Thank you all for clarification.

[al441j]

@ Krystal PATH act is Prevent American Tax Hike bill passed a few years back, What it does is delay tax returns with Earned income credit to make sure fraud is not occurring or make sure same dependent isn’t claimed twice. usually the delay is about 2 weeks

[#RefundChic]

I got got through to the IRS line by choosing Spanish option. They told me refund is still processing (of course) and she apologized for the delay as they are understaffed due to COVID-19 and are backed up because they started later than usual. No errors were found so I guess it’s just a waiting game now as she said just keep checking WMR and my bank account.

[Candice]

Path Act = no refunds issued before February 15th that involves eitc or ctc. It is to allow them more time to review to avoid fraud cases.

[Krystal]

What is meant by path acct?

[Fenito]

Got thru and was told the same as everyone else! Wait 10 weeks for a letter or I should receive my refund

[enoughisenough]

@RichP Do you remember what day your bar disappeared and do you still have TT 152 or did it disappear as well!

[RichP]

Just got off the phone with a very nice woman. She told me mine return was in errors department along with millions of others. She said 90% of people in errors are path act folks, she said hers was in the error department as well because she has children.

She said they are just backlogged since tax season started late. She said mine should be released Thursday or Friday.

My taxes were accepted 2/12. Bars disappeared last week and wmr says refund still processing.

[Fran]

Has anyone who got a letter, did it show up on your transcript that a letter was sent

[Elm80]

I finally got through to a real person and was told it was simply still being processed, that there were no issues with my return and that it shouldn’t be that much longer and to keep checking WMR. But was not provided any time frame what so ever on when to expect my refund. I filed late January, was accepted on the 12th. Claimed EIC but no stimulus. Had bars til 3/2 and has said still being processed ever since. I guess at least I know I’m not waiting on a letter or on a review…

I lost my bar and tax topic 3/1 the 5th was my 21 days so I called. The woman I spoke to told me that my refund had an error on it because I claimed recovery rebate and that i should keep checking wmr for an update and if they need anyhing they’ll send a letter or Ill have to wait 10 weeks. Everyones situation is different but thats what I was told

[Guy101]

I would call but good luck getting somebody to answer the phone. I’ve been trying all day yesterday and still didn’t get somebody

[Rayphllo]

I used turbo tax and they say my refund was accepted on February 12th making my 21 days last Friday as many others on this form.
Last Monday my WMR disappeared and the TT 152 gone as well but all my info was still on the side bar and it said still processing and no dd.
Today the TT 152 came back. Should I call?

[Ant]

I’m having the same problem bars disappeared still being processed tt 152 …..dont know nothing or what that mean I see alot of people going through this..some said they getting letters some said everything ok they just waiting some cant get no one on the phone…..what’s the deal with this …its already hard people going through so much and cant get they refund to take care they family ..

[Dee Dee]

Still the same no update. Filed TT, Accepted 02/12, lost bars on 03/2 and TT, Transcripts N/A with “as of date” 01/18. Just waiting it out. I have been reading several threads from other sites and there are so many people in the same situation as us it’s hard to believe there wasn’t a problem somewhere with the acceptance of our returns.

[Keens]

Ok

[Divia]

I’ve got talked to irs with same issue of you all
Still being processed date will provide when available
End up she told me there is the letter cp05 I should get by March 15. WTH now I’m panic

[Aries]

I am trying to access my transcripts and i cant. I m trying to use my Student loan numbers but its not working, If my student loans are in default will i still be able to access them? and also what number do i use its a long number I’ve been trying is that the right one?

[Jegs43]

I have a question how long if there is a problem to receive a letter? since I have no movement accepted 2/12 and nothing I don’t have tt152 no bars n/a on top of transcript I do have amount showing and it says still processing a date will be provided for you (something like that) I’m just wondering if there’s a problem how long before we receive a letter?

[Hoggy84]

So my bars dissapeared and I finally got ahold of irs even though my fed return was accepted on the 12th the irs representative told me they didnt accept it until the 1st March so now I got wait another 21 days to get answers frustrating

[Ant]

Its bout to be another stimulus and we haven’t got our refund or no up dates or dates …just bars disappeared and still proceeded tt 152 …if they up date the system why we getting still being proceeded and not a date …

[Carter]

So I got through to someone at the IRS that said they started processing on the 12th but then on the 17th of February they had to upgrade there system to be able to process the 600 dollar stimulus payments made in Dec so it set them back and basically there are alot! Of people that are stuck in processing and there no telling how long it could take for there taxes to finish processing.

[Ant]

I see alot of peoples have the same problem no bars refund still being processed tt152….no one really know what it mean everybody have something different to say we can only wait ….no one is alone with this matter ..

[Jacob]

Anyone getting the idea that this is happening to millions of people? Just read through these forums, you are not alone. Stop depending on something that was never there in the first place. Wait and go about your life, entitlement is a sad replacement for patience.

[MoneBih]

Do you see any of your tax information as in your filing status…dependents(if any)….your actual refund -amount?

[Willie]

Omg 😤😤 this is the first time this happens to me

[LaughNowForeva]

@moneBih
Yes I am able to access my 2020 transcript

[MoneBih]

@Laughnowforeva

Yes they will update after there done processing. Can you access your 2020 transcript?

[JLB1270]

@VJ Unsure what the value not matching means. I would try again as maybe the system was down. If not, you can order transcripts by mail on irs.gov Go to Get my tax record and you will see where to do it.

[Amy]

I need my money ‼️😩😩😩

[LaughNowForeva]

@monebih
I see that were my stimulus check was sent to me. Do the transcripts update as they proceed with processing the refund.

[Amy]

@Carlos

In my previous statement before I put I called to check the status. I did go to WMR to check and it kept saying my info was wrong and I know my info wasn’t wrong so I decided to call because I knew that from the previous day I would check WMR AND CALL and it would be the same. So I called anyway and this time it did not say my info was wrong even though that’s what WMR was saying. It said your tax refund is still processing and a refund date will be provided when available.

[Guy101]

What option do I choose to talk to somebody. I can’t seem to find the right one.

[Carlos]

@amy you are giving information that can be easily viewed on WMR if you call that number they give you the exact same info waste of time so please disregard Amy’s comment

[Carlos]

@amy you are giving information that can be easily viewed on WMR if you call that number they give you the exact same info waste of time so please disregard Amy’s comment

[RJ]

@Amy

Yes same I called and says still processing. And I tried calling and can’t get through.

[Amy]

@RJ

When I called 800-829-4477 to check the status of my refund it said that it’s still being processed and date will be given once available.

[VJ]

@MoneBih,

When I tried to register, it says your values does not match. I moved to a different place in Aug 2020. I filed my taxes now with the new address.When I register with the new address as well as old, it says values does not match. What am I doing wrong?

[VJ]

Again, friends, can you please tell me what is a transcript and where to find it and regarding my refund status? Also, how do you all get to talk to anyone in IRS? It says its always busy and I have never been successful to get anyone. please help!!!

[MoneBih]

@VJ

Go to irs.gov and click the view your tax record tab and once you register you should see your 2020 transcript. If YOU ARE NOT done processing you will only see n/a. If you can access your 2020 record the code you look for 846 refund issued. Look towards the bottom and you will see different codes but the one you want to see is 846.

[JessMN]

Just an update,,,,,,,

I filed 1/27/21 accepted 2/10/21 TurboTax with fees being taken from refund and had the advance.

I just spoke to a really nice lady total phone call time was 30 minutes including hold time. She said mine was JUST pulled for processing on 3/5/21 and to allow 21 days from then. My bars and TT 152 disappeared 3/1/21 and went to still being processed. TT 152 came back 3/5/21 but my bar did not.

[Tara]

The website to get your transcript is down again as of 3-8-2021 11:45 am CST

[MoneBih]

I can’t access my transcript due to the heavy log in volume. Sorry I will try again later.

[VJ]

What is this transcript that you guys are talking about? Where do we see this? Please help!

[MoneBih]

My refund date was 03-10-2021 but my deposit just came!!!…..🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😇😇🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[MoneBih]

I will post my transcript so you’ll can view it. The code you want to see is 846. That’s a refund issued code

[LaughNowForeva]

Her I have this message with TT 152 I pulled my transcript and I have the -$0.00(my refund any) then says as of 3/22/2021 is that my DD. Do transcripts update as they make changes to account. Please help!

[MoneBih]

@tavie89

Do you see a 846 code it will say refund issued?

[tavie89]

So I pulled transcript I need help reading all I see is account balance on top with refund listed(-$0000.00)
then it has as of 3/22/2021 is that my refund date??? I’m so lost

[Brookem]

It’d be my guess for those getting the message that your info doesn’t match that there’s been a change to your refund amount therefore the amount your entering Is triggering that message.

[RJ]

@Amy

Same been checking status since I was accepted 2/10 and was still processing with tt152 till last night when system says info doesn’t match on both website and app

[Amy]

Mines won’t even let me enter my information anymore it’s say it incorrect

[VJ]

Hello,

I am in the same situation. The status bar has disappeared and it is 23rd day since acceptance of my tax return. I am trying to reach someone in the IRS and it either says “Due to high call volume” thing or even it goes through, it comes back saying please try again later. Status still says it is under processing and we will update the refund date when they know. Not sure where to go from here. Is there a specific number that we can reach at to talk to someone at IRS?

Thanks

[MoneBih]

@sasha

Once you’re in your tax record you may see 2020 or n/a it depends if you’re done processing or not. Once you see 2020 you can view your tax data and to see if you have a refund date. The refund issue code is 846 if you see that code look for the date beside it and that’s the day you will have your refund 😇. I hope this helps you.

[MoneBih]

@sasha

Go to irs.gov and click the get your tax record tab.

[Malone]

I talked to the irs today and they said there backed up this year and lot of people will get late returns but not to worry

[Danie]

They said they haven’t reviewed my return yet because of the delay. Which is totally different then what they said Friday. Friday I was told it’s in the ERS department. Today the guy just said that its still being reviewed. He can’t see anything wrong at all and the IRS is just delayed so they’re asking for an additional 10 weeks. He said it don’t take that long but that’s just what his job is making them say.

[Sasha]

This is the first year I’ve uses Turbo Tax. Mine was accepted February 14 and my bars went away a couple of days ago. Where do you find codes and transcripts at?

[Mack]

@Jaxcity
Me too…I’m thinking this may be a reason as to why many people are having delays. They have not fixed the issue prior to people filing 2020 taxes

[Carter]

Just got off the phone w IRS I got a whole different story then I did on Friday! The man I spoke to this time said they still had my old address in the system so that was a good sign that they didn’t process my return yet. After he looked into it he say no we haven’t even pulled your return to look at it yet! It will get processed he just don’t know when that even though they just started processing on the 12th there already so far behind! He has no idea how long it may take!!

[Eliza]

@Drew I received the 5071C letter and call last Monday to verify my identity. This is the second time I had to IDVerify. Back in 2018, they told me it would take 9 weeks and I got it in 2 weeks.

[Eliza]

@Drew I received the 5071C letter and call last Monday to verify my identity. This is the second time I had to IDVerify. Back in 2018, they told me it would take 6 weeks and I got it in 2 weeks.

[Jaxcity]

@mack that is my situation.

[Mack]

For those who are showing still processing and or have to verify identity, where you one of TurboTax, Jackson Hewitt or H&R Block customers who stimulus was sent to an incorrect bank account or only received partial payment?

[Drew]

Has anyone had to ID verify? Does the refund actually take the full 9 weeks to process? Asking because I had to ID verify yesterday, seeing as how many of us filed on time I think it’s a bit ridiculous to be placed at the back of the line and allow 9 weeks for them to process a return.

[Danielle002]

Filed:2/7/21
Accepted: 2/8/21
Transcripts: n/a
I called today the irs lady rep said my return was randomly pulled for taxpayer protection program and that i have to wait for a letter in the mail to verify my identity. Once i verify it can take 9 weeks to receive my refund… Ughhhhhhhh

[Fatheroftwo]

Got thru to someone… waiting on CP3219A letter stating my refund is increasing.. letter will be sent out March 15 but am hoping to get a dd before then. Hope everyone else gets through as well

[MoneBih]

@Zee

This morning.

[Fatheroftwo]

I got ahold of an agent. Says mine are being adjusted in my favor but will get a letter sent out on the 15 of March. I hope I get a deposit before then. Like Monday

[Zee]

@Hastingsowned did your top 2 update? Or just your account transcript

[Beepbeep]

I haven’t be able to get on to see transcripts now

[Hastingsowned]

Mine updated from na to 2020 but I cant open them due to overload at server.. waiting game I will post again when I see them

[Hope011]

What happen were you enable to open your transcript?

[Geo]

@hope
Yes, I can see access them. Top two haven’t updated and last thing on my account summary is stimulus info

[Hope011]

@Geo can you see your transcripts tho?

[Geo]

I filed 2/8 accepted 2/10, I lost my bars and tax topic around the 15th of feb. and JUST recieved a 5071C to ID Verify in the mail today. Took about two minutes via online. No update to anything other than “as of” since submitting taxes. Not even this letter appears. There is hope!

[Hope011]

Question. When you recieve the id verify does your transcript show? Or it n/a?

[Brand]

ok so it seems like most of the people that comment on this forum can access transcripts and always be in the know about their refund status. but why is there no answers for those of us that cant pull a transcript??? wtf is the money coming can the irs tell us anything? my bars disappeared on monday and today is 21 days..everyone I know has gotten their tax refund literally. someone please get answers!!!

[Zee]

Are y’all transcripts updating now? Or did they update water this morning

[tauxania]

Accepted 2/10

Have the message as referenced above, not updated. HOWEVER, transcripts updated today! YAY! I can’t pull them up, as I am assuming the program is overloaded today. But at least there’s hope.

[MoneBih]

I filed on 02-09-2021
Acceptance date 02-10-2021
846 03-10-2021

Wmr still has the same “still processing” message with tt152 no amount on the side no bars. My transcript updated this morning with a code 846 for 03-10-2021 that’s what I’m going by. Not wmr.

[Frustrated]

Accepted 2/12 H & R Blk
At 21 days now
1 bar WMR
No updatw on transcripts still n/a
As of sate Feb 22
No review or Id letters
I am an 05 weekly

What is going on? Does this mean I have no update now for til next Friday or worse later than that?

[Mu Mo]

@HeatherV;

If that’s the case they should communicate. Too many people’s blood pressure rising for nothing

[HeatherV]

Spoke to lady at irs and she stated that anyone who filed on or before the 12th that our 21 days is March 9th bc they didn’t start processing til then and that the 2q day is business days.. what a crock!!

[Hoggy84]

Where is everyone seeing the codes at.. on wmr?

[JT]

My 21 days are up today. I don’t know what the hold is for, but it sucks. I’ve never been in this situation before. Hopefully they get it done sooner rather than later. Thanks PATRICE for the info and anyone else that provided any.

[Mu Mo]

Guys, my 21 days is today and am seeing nothing. No transcript, no amount, just the “we are still processing your refund crap” and the bars are gone. The tax code 152 is still there. Any ideas? This has never happened to me in my lifetime of filing taxes here.

[Zee]

@JT no idea, I keep calling but it’s not even ringing due to high call volume

[JT]

How do you get IRS on the phone?

[Patrice]

@ JT

971 code means IRS sent a letter to you.

570 code is a hold code.

[Alysa]

@

My status bars and TT 152 disappeared Sunday. Wednesday my status bars were still gone however TT 152 came back and my refund amount was gone. This morning my transcripts had a return date of 3/22! There was an error on mine. I was really starting to worry but hang in there everyone!!

Update!! My transcripts are viewable and my DDD is 3/10!

[JT]

Transcripts updated with March 22 as of date. My refund amount has been adjusted. I claimed the last stimulus check than got it in the mail. I also have codes 570 and 971. Don’t know what that means. My WMR still has no bars and says my return is still being processed. I do have the 152 TT back though. Anyone know any of that means?

[Beebee]

Finally! I checked 12:30 am on March 5th and transcripts finally are updated . Tax code 846 for the amount I expected with DDD 3/10.
Still no bars and says

“tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.”

[Jaina]

Bleh. Wish I could see mine. All I have to rely on is WMR. In other words I have absolutely nothing to rely on.

[LolaR]

@jaina so far, no. Still have awhile to go..They update anytime between midnight and 6 am. Sometimes even throughout the day on Friday.

[Jaina]

To anyone whose bars and TT 152 disappeared: did your transcripts update tonight?

[WHY ME SCREWED YET AGAIN!!!????:(]

@ KITTY

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THERE CYCLE CODE IS AS TO WHEN WMR WILL CHANGE TO THE

STILL BEING PROCESSED. INSTEAD OF BEING PROCESSED ONE WORD DIFFERENCE ONLY

[Alysa]

@ Noelle

Mine too!

[Noelle]

Well wait mine says is still being processed but I have tax code 152 so now im more 😕

[Manda4386]

Ours updated today to “we have received your tax return and it is being processed “ (my post was the original post if you want details on what it was before)
We are usually weekly , so I’m hoping for transcripts to update tonight

[fjbar75]

My WMR changed to this a few weeks back.
Finally got an ID verify letter today. Since I dont have a credit card or loan I have to call in to verify and am on hold now. Hopefully this will be done in a few weeks.

[K.G]

Kitty, I believe he is saying “is being processed” and “is STILL being processed “ results are as he says…🤔 Now last year I went from is being to still being and didn’t receive til August…..TRUE STORY! This year I’m at is being and TT 152 since 2/13… so I pray he is right… but it is a Mystery….😂🤪Goodluck

[Kittykat]

A person just posted they have gotten 60 day review but wmr shows one bar tt152 not sure you can trust any theory this year.

[K.G]

Good news then… Thanks SCREWED…😎been is being processed with TT152 since 2/13

[WHY ME SCREWED YET AGAIN!!!????:(]

STILL BEING PROCESSED MEANS IN ERROR DEPT OR FLAGGED FOR REVIEW OR BEEN RESEQUENCED

REFUND BEING PROCESSED WITH TT152 IS ALL IS GOOD JUST SLOW GOING
MY UNCLE WORKS FOR IRS AND EXPLAINED DIFFERENCE IN SAYING

[Lynn77]

UPDATE: I checked my sister in laws wmr at 9 this morning central time and it still said nothing. Her money hit her account at 1 today and now wmr has refund approved. Apparently it doesn’t just update over night. I’m still waiting on mine and filed before her😑

[Kittykat]

Starting think someone hacked the irs system.lol this year has been a joke.

[Hope011]

Pt 2. the reason why 😔 i put the wrong agi number and the irs didnt accepted it at first so i re send it. Finger cross that they dont need to send me a letter. Hope this help you guys out. In a way. This is stressful. But i think i might need to id verify . He said he couldnt see more information. I still have the 152 code. With no bar. And no transcript n/a

[Hope011]

Ok so i called the irs again . The rep told me it went to a error resolution department/correction department. And he told me if it a simple problem it takes 3 to 4 days to resolve but if they need additional information they need to send me a letter. And i might know

[Brad]

Still showing processing code 152. My 21 days Tommorow. When does the IRS deposit refunds?

[Drew]

@Manda4386

Exactly, it depends on who you get on the phone at the IRS. Because I called on Monday and the rep was nice and went into my account asked me security questions ect. He told me my bars disappeared because they (IRS) had to send me out a letter because to Id Verify. Needless to say my bad reception dropped the phone call, so I called back yesterday twice and was given the same story, you have to call on Friday because they couldn’t even access my account which was total bull!

[Hope011]

Katty ,
When that happen you always had the tax topic 152? That what going on with me. I only have the tax topic 152 and no bar. And when i check my trascprits it shows n/a
Your opinion you think it going to take a week? Just checking the tt152?

[marion]

same here no bars i just want my money

[GIveMeMyMunah]

@Hakeem calling tomorrow will do no good. Even though TT shows you accepted early the IRS did not start processing returns until the 12th. They will just tell you to call back on Monday.

[Hakeem]

This is the first year this has ever happened to me. I called the IRS and of course they asked me to call back after 21 days. Being that my fed taxes were accepted on 02/11, Ill be calling them back tomorrow morning. TURBO TAX showed as expected refund date of 03/04/2021, and my bank account reflects nothing lol. I’ll come back with an update tomorrow informing you guys of the outcome.

[Katty]

This is the same thing that happened to me last year. One bar, tax topic 152 for a week then bars disappeared, then a week later they were back on bar 2 with a deposit date..

[Sandra A]

No WMR updates at all 3/3 – Lost bars on 3/1. Transcripts still N/A Accepted 2/11 filed 1/30

In the past my cycle code ended in 5…usually 20200705. Nothing in Transcripts so not sure where I stand…. “We have received your return and it is still being processed….Refund Deposit Date will be provided as soon as its available.” (something to that effect.

Totally frustrated – 0 owed on Account Transcript & $ 0 stimulus checks.

[Jessica]

@JLB1270 I really hope so…

[Alysa]

@Manda4386

Ok thank you because this girl was not telling me anything.. I tried asking a couple different ways she wasn’t having it. I get it though they are probably getting thousands of calls a day.

[JLB1270]

@Jessica The 152 still showing is a positive sign…

[Jessica]

My bars disappeared and got still processing but I still have the TT 152 idk of that makes a difference..

[JLB1270]

@Drew I don’t understand it either. I have never ever had to id verify before-never received the
5071c letter before. I am hoping it may be a generic statement that it is 9 weeks…but I will definitely keep this updated with any changes.

[JLB1270]

@Juno- I received my 5071c in the mail. I never called the IRS. Usually, they do not know what is gpoing on anyway..at least before the 21 days. Hopefully that is not your case, but when tax topics and bars disappear and the word “still” shows, it means you will most likely be getting a letter.

[GIveMeMyMunah]

I just played dumb and told them I wanted to make sure they got my return. I didn’t get a lot of info besides the whole 21 days and they update when they are done processing. She was nice and understanding why I wanted to make sure they had it.

[Manda4386]

@Alysa it truly depends on who you get. I had to call 3 times to get them to tell me anything

[Alysa]

I wanna know who everyone is talking to at the IRS because I just got told they aren’t giving out any information until Monday because it hasn’t been 21 days for anyone until then

[GIveMeMyMunah]

@hope0119 The lady I talked to at the IRS today said that the transcripts won’t update until they are done processing the return so not sure who told you the 10 days.

[KA1987]

Same situation here… No transcript available.. No BAR no 152 code. Not sure what is happening. Tax excepted on 12th feb .

[Hope011]

Why cant we see our transcripts? Irs told me it should of shown up after 10 days of sending your tax return.? So if everyone have the same issue. It must of been re sequenced?

[Alysa]

Mrs.Hardaway – exact same thing happened to me! No clue what’s going on

[Mommajess33]

I don’t understand the people on here scaring others telling them they need to ID verify. IT HAPPENED TO ALL OF US THAT FOT ACCEPTED ON THE 11th PLUS SOME! Someone already said when they called they were told they got re sequenced and everything’s completely fine. 😑 it’s rude to freak people out when everything’s clearly fine. We aren’t all gunna have to ID verify that got accepted on the same day, every single one of us, like wtf😂

[Hope011]

So my bars disappeared yesterday and i check again this morning it still show the same no bars and still 152 code. Got accepted 2/12 this friday will be my 21 days. I called irs and they told me they cant check until 21 days passed.

[gloryciti]

Accepted 2/12/2021. I’m still getting the same thing bars disappeared 2/26/21 haven’t come back. Some are getting their bars back as of an hour and a half ago.

[Mrs.Hardaway]

Saturday lost bars and tt152 amount still to the left. Still being processed refund date will be provided when available. Checked this morning around 830 am cst it was the same. Just checked wmr again at 926 pm cst and tt152 has come back and now the amount is gone. So confused to whats going on. Can’t access transcripts. Anyone have any ideas?

So is there a website you have to go to verify? Just curious if that’s what is happening to me. Just trying to circumvent the process and speed it along

I think generally you’ll want to wait until you get your 5071C letter — if, in fact, one is coming to you (there are other reasons for “still being processed”) — because there’s a unique code on the letter that you’ll need to provide. They don’t want fraudulent files from preemptively calling to “verify” their fraudulent return.

Doing it online might not be better than calling, because when you call to IDV, they immediately forward your return to the next stage after you pass.

[Jason]

Same with mine

You can’t speed up the process. They either send you a notice telling you they need id verification or they don’t. I only found out yesterday I needed to verify because the IRS told me they’d sent a letter out on feb 23rd. Still awaiting the letter.

[Jon]

So is there a website you have to go to verify? Just curious if that’s what is happening to me. Just trying to circumvent the process and speed it along

[candi]

i got a date on feb 26 and today all of my bars went away. what does that mean?

[Juno]

How do i know if im receiving a 5071C letter?

[Inwi]

2 years ago I had to ID verify told me 9 weeks got refund the next week. A couple days after I called wmr updated

[Juno]

@JLB1270 Do i have to wait for 21 days period to ask they’re sending a mail regarding the 5071C? and also how did you know they sent you one? it says on WMR? or you called them?

[Drew]

@JLB1270

It’s still going to take 9 weeks even though you verified? Shouldn’t that speed things up a bit? I called the IRS yesterday and they told me I’d be receiving the same letter to verify my identity. I’d assume once you’ve verified you’d be good to go and they’d release your money. Wth!

[JLB1270]

@Juno Same exact situation. I received a 5071C verify identity letter 4 days ago..had to verify online. It could take 9 weeks. I hope your situation is better!

[Juno]

I had the same problem. I had the accepted message 2/10, with 1 bar and tax topic 152. Then 2/22 bar disappeared so as my TT 152 no with error codes at all, still shows my last 4 digits of my SSN and FULL AMOUNT whenever i track through WMR. Called yesterday on IRS, saying they can’t really do anything until the 5th, which marks my 21 days period. Should i get worried? I have no error codes at all.

[Cee]

I had the same.. no bars no tt152 with the still processing message. I contacted the irs and was sent to several different ppl. The last person i spoke with told me that because I filed my kids that we will start being issued DDD the first week of March. She said that it was nothing wrong with my return and no letter has been sent out or scheduled to be sent out. SO hopefully this curves some ppls worries..

[Trilissa]

I had the accepted bar and topic 152 eic eitc credit but not owed stimulus but checked today and everything disappeared now just says your return is still being processed and a date will be available soon as it’s processed called irs mine was accepted 2/11/21 but said they can’t look it up till March 5th so told me could still hit my account anytime if it hasn’t call the 5th but mine has no red flags anything it’s just they’re so backed up

[Jenn]

I filed and it was accepted on 2/10. I have had the topic 152 for 2 weeks now. My bars dissapeared and that popped up. I didn’t receive either of the stimulus checks and have a child. After reading i notice im not the only one. I wonder if its delayed because I have a Child and the stimulus. I hope I get it soon!

[Amy]

My bars disappeared as well today with “ your return is still being processed a refund date will be provided when available no tax topic anymore. I did get both my stimulus checks but I did do the look back credit.

Never happened to me before either

[Tracy]

I’m wondering if anyone out there has claimed their grandkids. I did this year for the first time since I paid daycare and they were with me four days out of seven all of last year. It figured it out on H&R for me. It went to still be processed and my bars disappeared so I don’t know if it is going to be a problem.

[LolaR]

@Taxman do you know of the irs will process Injured spouse forms for student loan offsets or will they bypass them this year?

[Tired]

1-800-829-0582 ext 652

[RR]

What number did you all call?

[Tired]

Same here I called IRS this morning, and the rep said she didn’t see anything wrong with my return, just that I got resequenced so I would have to wait 7 more days. Basically a lot of returns will reach the 21 day period this week, and IRS won’t process them in time, so they are just going to basically resequenced. (For anyone that filed early that is)

[Hendermom1]

I woke up this morning to wmr and bars are gone and the same message about still being processed and when they have date…. so I CALLED IRS even before 21days. She said there was a slight processing error but they didn’t send a letter and it looks like It ğself corrected. So I’m not to sure what to think. Feeling sick

[Kat]

I had tax topic 152 and is being processed. I check today and the bars are gone and it says it’s still being processed and a refund date will come when available.

[Tired]

Just checked mines, no wmr status bars and no tax topic 152… what does that mean?

[JLB1270]

edit: 5071C letter not 5017c

[JLB1270]

The same thing happened to me. I received a 5017C letter in the mail yesterday. I had to verify my id online. I filed Jan 11, accepted Feb 11. On Feb 14th, my bar and tt 152 disappeared..went from being processed to still processing to still being processed. My $$ and last 4 ss# and filing status still on left. Top two transcripts N/A. Account transcript changed from as of Mar 1st to as of Mar 15th on Friday. Account transcripts show only stimulus checks.

[Blee]

I logged into WMR . It was accepted 2-12-2021. One Bar. Check again I received Tax Topic 152.. and also at the top stating My refund is being processed..Checked today 2-28-2021 It now says your refund is still being processed and a date will come when available.. Even when I call the 18008291040 it still says My refund is still being processed…. What does this mean..

[Tax guru]

This happens because this year because of Covid and a lot of people not having W-2s because of work they use/years W-2s and filings to determine your refund but this year this is why this is happening it takes them a little longer to process it because someone manually has too adjust

[gloryciti]

Mine still says the same thing since Friday 2/26/2021

[Dora]

Last year Our 2019 went to still processing and we are still waiting. Hope to never see them evil words “still processing” ever again, lol

[Geo]

I have no idea why, this has happened to me three years in a row. Every year though after about 2-3 weeks it disappears and I get a DDD. Prayers this is most peoples case here

[MJ]

Same happened to me last year and it took like 5 months for me to receive my return :/ they said they needed to verify my income. This year I checked and my bars where there snd a few days later disappeared, hopefully I don’t have the same issue as last year.

[LindsH]

The same thing is happening with my husband and I. My bars disappeared and his did not. It also happened last year and I received a letter stating I needed to verify my ID.
I just went online and did it and within a week or so, I received my refund. I’m hoping that’s what’s happening this year as well but haven’t received a letter yet. I did get my state refund today. I was accepted on 2/12 for federal and 2/16 for state.

[Minni-soda Mandy]

I had this and got my DDD on time, it seemed that they had to go in manually and adjust my refund and that was why i got the “still being processed” message. I got my refund on 2/18/2021 and WMR/Transcripts didn’t update till Monday.

[rip kobe]

@taxman is legit dropping knowledge on here. Thank u sir for helping people.

[TaxMan]

You cannot trust the WMR this year. The IRS has already stated that it is malfunctioning. I have had filers who received their refunds already without the WMR ever updating at all. The Processing lines can mean a variety of things from nothing to you need to call. Most IRS moderators (the people you speak to) are trained to divert your call instead of actually help you. The only time they will actually try to help is if it has been over 21 days from your “accepted” date.

[Laurie]

same here I got accepted the 10th. Had 1 bar the whole time woke up this morning to no bars. Called the IRS twice this morning and they both said call back on the 2nd. And I can’t check my transcripts

[Jacob]

Strange because the IRS wasn’t accepting returns until Feb 12th.

[Melisssa]

My bars disappeared yesterday. I was accepted 2/9 with path credits. I already received my stimulus so I didn’t claim it. Last year i got mine in mid March because it was under review.

[Angelique87]

My fiancé and I filed the same day. He claimed our daughter I claimed my son. My son and I also did not receive any stimulus. The day my bar disappeared and it says “still being processed”, his bar was still there and the next day he had his refund. Mine is still on hold I guess? So I’m wondering if it’s bc the stimulus?

[Tsp]

My bars disappeared Friday the 19th. I also claimed the stimulus credit. I am certain I’m under review as I owe a few dollars to irs. This may not be everyone’s situation.

[Tex]

I’ve never had bars just vanish before. Sounds like some are coming back and some aren’t like mine. Any indication on why that might happen?

[Hulibarri]

Just called the IRS they said it means nothing at least on my account.

[Manders86]

Thank you, everyone! This is very helpful information

[Ladyluck84]

Mine did that last year turns out was small mathmatic issue and was missing a document. Irs corrected it wasn’t much of delay in getting payment. Maybe a week added.

[Samantha]

My bars have disappeared before and came back a couple days later or not at all. It just happens.. Sometimes you may receive a letter but more often than not, it is nothing. You can look at last years forum and see that it happened to a lot of us and it was just the way the WMR system went. Most had no issues.. This happens every year.

[Tai]

This literally happened to my family, accepted on 02/13
Checked my bar 02/20, bar disappeared, but my wife’s bar is still available

[MsJovon]

It usually means ID verify and sometimes a random review just to verify things don’t get too worked up unless you receive a letter in the mail sometimes they require you to send things in sometimes it works itself out, this is from my experience when my bars disappeared one year I had to ID verify

[McCaig]

Has anyone figured anything out? I lost my bars and TT also. I was also supposed to get stimulus. I’m curious if that is the issue.

[I-eat-coochie]

I got this e-mail from Jackson Hewitt
Congratulations! Your taxes are done and now it’s time to track your return! Does that mean irs accept it on that day i received the email?

[Tbowling95]

They sent me a letter with a code that I went online to put in. It was a little over a month from the time. I filed until. I got my refund. My wife also kept the bars for quite some time. I think it had to do with my name being the main name on the return. There’s always the chance it could be something else, but that was my experience.

[mommaliss]

@Ann Same situation, and yes I did have to claim the recovery rebate credit. I never received my second stimulus.

[Whitlee]

Same here, accepted 2/12 had bars yesterday but changed to this message. EIC and getting stimulus.

[Manders86]

@Tbowling95 What did you have to do to verify? Did it take awhile to get the notice?

[Ann]

Same here, bars disappeared, no update on transcripts, did anyone whos bars disappeared claim the stimulus thing on return?

[Tbowling95]

Had this happen to me this morning as well..
It happened to me last year and was required to ID Verify. I’ve seen some that the bars come back, but I was not so lucky last year… There was a slight delay for me last year.

[Tex]

We have received your tax return and it is being processed.
If you filed a complete and accurate tax return, your refund should be issued within 21 days of the received date. However, processing may take longer under certain circumstances.

This one is a new to me. I can’t remember seeing this before.

[Hulibarri]

Mine also changed to this. Does anyone know if it’s bad?
