      Just an FYI. My refund arrived today. WMR still has one bar as processing with topic 152. I did have the ACTC. Filed on 3/2 accepted on 3/5. Refund was directly from the IRS.

            Never saw transcripts. Could not log on. Ordered them by mail but they haven’t showed up.

                  What if somebody went out of town and the IRS mailed their refund? Isn’t the mail one of the ways crooks steal checks? Seems like all that Path Act wait for some people went on for nothing if the IRS is going to make the check accessible to potential crooks. I think something is going on with their payment system and that’s why people aren’t getting their money on time or people are getting surprise mailings of refunds.

                    We want to encourage the IRS to send delayed refunds in an expedited way, but we want notification about it on WMR or via email. I think most people have their email address or phone number on their w2. There’s no reason why the IRS can’t notify taxpayers in the fastest convenient way.

                      Was it sent in the mail or by direct deposit? How did you originally ask to be paid? I would find out why they chose to pay different from what was authorized and let others know the reason expressed.
