Test Batch & Path Act people check in here

[Renee]

Filed 1/11 .. accepted 1/14 PATH
*not expecting a return until late Feb*

WMR was on one bar, but now changed to tax topic 152. Hopefully that doesn’t mean delay.

[Josh]

I figured i would update as I feel most people dont update when something actually happens.

I filed on 1/16
Accepted on 1/17

No EIC
Yes ACTC

went from accepted to path act.

changed from path to processing about two weeks ago.

updated from processing to getting a DD of 2/27 last saturday with a note saying that my refund was reduced because of taxes i owed from a prior year return.

it sucks because i have a payment plan in place for the taxes i owed and didnt expect them to remove the remaining balance from my refund this year.

Either way, i am not sure what everyone else’s situation is but that is mine. hopefully i get my deposit tomorrow!

[ANNA]

I’m feeling exactly like J-Renee comment. This is the strangest tax season for me. I file every year, claim EIC and ACTC every year, have same job last 3 years, always have had accurate & timely status updates from WMR, sometimes direct deposit to prepaid card, sometimes to checking acct….last year used taxslayer and had DDD 2/22 and it was deposited into my credit union checking acct on 2/22 a little after midnight….longest I’ve ever had to wait bc of the PATH act law. This year, USED taxslayer again, couple changes though…. AGI decreased about 5k bc took unpaid leave for surgery and have an additional child dependent….my newborn child. Oh, also opted for the prepaid green dot card this year. I was thinking maybe bc I’ve got a return that is out of pattern from the past…maybe an audit for closer look bc it is highest refund I’ve ever gotten…over $9k…normally its 6k to 7k. BUT I also filed early, like I always do….before IRS actually opens…accepted Jan 23.

LAST Year, I didn’t have to wait until the date published for PATH act filers…it was like Feb 25th I think. But I saw the orange bars progressing like normal. I didn’t stalk the website or do obsessive web searches about the delay like this year. THIS year makes no sense…there’s no reason why some got their refunds on Feb 22…the same refund date I got last year. I am always the first of my friends and family to get my return…most of people I know are EIC filers and they always file after me, every year. I’m usually the one to start talking about filing so it reminds everyone to do theirs too. But I’ was not the first to get my refund nor have I gotten any updates since Feb 16….All I get is two sentences basically says ” is being processed.”

Why am I being tortured this year! Where the hell is my refund! I am so tired of searching this site and every freaking site related to this issue, republicbank.com and sbctg.com and greendot.com and irs.gov.

I called the ORS bc it’s been over 21 days and still no status updates! Have no idea if I’m a weekly or daily status update. Cant get transcript online.

I’m posting this only bc YOURE NOT ALONE if you’ve never had issues in past but feel like you’ may have f’d up on your taxes somehow.

Nope, I’ve done the same stuff I do every year, claimed same credits, but after looking through posts, I think its the early filers who were accepted via the test batch prior to Jan 29. Never a problem in past but it’s only reason that makes sense…early filers GOT F#@KED!!I Too eager to apply for tax refund loan which I never get approved for.

[J-Renee]

I prepared my return as well as my sister’s return on 1/15/19.
We both were also “Accepted” on the same day, 1/28.

I’ve read a lot of posts on here about a “test batch” pertaining only to those who filed early. I’m not sure exactly how to take that simply because despite us filing at the same time, getting accepted at the same time, and updating at the same time….we ended up getting separated somehow.

I’ve mentioned in previous posts how this has been the strangest tax season to date for me.

I have been doing my sister’s taxes since 1994. She isn’t offset whatsoever. For some reason she just didn’t get the update on 2/16 like I did. The strange thing is that up until then, we were in sync.
We both received the Path Act message on the same day and finally when the Path Act changed for me to “still being processed, it changed for her as well.
I only had the “still being processed” message for two days before It updated to APPROVED and I was then given a DDD of 2/22.
So you’re thinking she should have gotten the same update too right? Nope!
Her WMR remained the same “still being processed” and it has been that way since 2/14.

Puzzling right?
So, I really can’t say I have the slightest clue as to how the IRS is doing things this tax season. I can only hope that she is updated and given a DDD on 2/23.
We both qualified for ACTC and EIC. So we are Pathers.
Just weird how I have a DDD of 2/22 and she doesn’t.

[Cityslicker149]

Filed 1/13
Accepted 1/15
Both credits
PATH msg since opening week
Stuck on processing since 2/16
No DDD

Hopefully this will be the final stretch. Early filers got screwed big time.

[Tommie]

Anyone have a ddd yet that was still processing last nighy

[Sherry]

Filed 1/29 & accepted same day
Path message with 152
Bars disappeared
Saturday received .. we received taxes being processed no 152 code & no bars I belive Si am a weekly update per last year any suggestions?

[Andreia Laudermill]

I was accepted in the test batch on 1/14 and then I got the PATH message then last week I received the we’re processing your return. No ddd.. Shouldn’t I have a ddd now since I was accepted early.

[Chris]

Same here filed 1-30 accepted same day. 15th my bars and tax topic were gone. My little brothers had the same message but this morning his updated with a ddd of 2-22

[Britt]

Still no bars and recieved and processed have child credits and earned income. Is there going to be another update?

[Britt]

I have no bars and we received your tax return and it is being processed. With no tax topic. I have earned income with 2 child tax credits. When are they doing another update? I’ve seen on FB that some people still have bars missing and some have their ddd already. Please help…

[Jenni]

@josh
I too was accepted 1/16 have both credits, wmr never showed accepted for weeks then on 2/4 it finally registered my info but it had the whole 1541 message. The Lady who did my return said there was a glitch in the IRS system so some of the “test” filers got stuck in it and are being resequenced after Path can start processing, so we go this silly hold message and they will get to me soon. However I don’t know if this is accurate Information it’s just what I was told. I did see a few other people say the same thing on here so I am hoping it is true and we will get our refunds shortly.

[Josh]

My refund was accepted on 1/16/2019. wmr was showing the path message for a while and now is showing the processed message.

Seeing other people on here it seems like they are getting some DD’s even though they were accepted much later.

cycle date on transcript shows 04052019

I have actc but no eic.

I assume that my DD should be this week but Im confused.

any insight?

[Isis P Edwards]

Went from path act to that disappering and a processing message on the screen then woke up at midnight, checked it and have a ddd for for the 22nd now

[Amy]

So are those that are weeklies likely to get their refund before wmr updates again next weekend? I filed and was acceptes 1/29. eitc and actc. Went to being processed yesterday

[Chase]

@ Ecamp
Cycle code 05. Last numbers shown was 768. I’m still a tad confused what it means.

[ShawninFL]

Accepted 1/14
Had 1 bar until 1/23 went to 152/9001
No Notices, No Transcripts

The one Transcript I can view that dosen’t say N/A.
No Record of Return Filed
Rolling date of 2/18/2019

If the transcripts don’t fill and drop with a DD that 2/18 will move up another week.
Damn….

[Ecamp]

@Chase on your account transcript scroll to the very last section and you will see 3 digit codes for credits you are receiving. The very last code that you look for is 864 DD. Also at the top of the account transcript if you have a negative amount (credit balance) you know you have not been processed. It has to be zero balance when it’s done processing. Look at your cycle code too. If it ends in 05 you will only get updates once a week on Saturday and you will only get a Wednesday DDD.

[Chase]

How do you read a transcript? Idk what I’m looking for at all

[Aviance]

I see 2 bars at approved DDD 2/22 . I went from path to being processed on Saturday and this morning it updated 😬

[Chase]

How are you guys seeing a DDD? On a transcript?

[Cc]

@ Renee I have a ddd I filed on the 28th. I’m not sure if you are using the app or the wmr website but try the wmr website

[Felicia Marie Mailand]

@kathrin. 150 with the date of 2/25 is when they are gunna start your processing. Atleast you have that on your transcripts. Mine are blank and i filed on 2/2/19

[Suthrngrl]

Updated this morning to ddd of 2/22. Was stuck on path then bars disappeared yesterday to refund being processed.

[Ams]

Filed 1/22 updated to path 2/9 updated to being processed 2/16. No update and no access to transcripts online only through mail

[Chase]

Where are you guys seeing your DD’s?

[Kevin]

Accepted 1/23 first year pather. No damn update. Some bullshit lol

[Cc]

I filed on the 28th of January every since I started checking it I had the path 152 message.. until yesterday it changed to received refund processing now I have a ddd of 2/22

[Kathrin]

@JessiC

Thanks so much.

[JessiC]

@Kathrin

Cycle code ending in 05 means you are weekly and update on Saturday usually.

Each of those other codes: 150, 766, and 768 are exactly what they say they are on your transcripts. The code you want to see is 846 which will show at the bottom as refund issued, and the date next to it will be your direct deposit date.

[Kathrin]

Please someone help me. Filed Jan 27th accepted same day

Im not understanding any of this transcript stuff. Mine shows

150 Date 2-25-2019
766 Date 4-15-2019
768 Date 4-15-2019

Cycle: 20190605

Can anyone explain what that means? Its my first year filing. I got no clue

[tracy]

filed 1/30 accepted minutes later with both credits. ever since 1/31 I have been at 1 bar and TT152, no change whatsoever. should I be worried if I never got the path message? and also how do you know if your test batch?

[Unicorn Kisses]

Hi all! Back for another year…
— Filed TT on 01/18
— I do have EITC
— Accepted 01/21
— PATH appeared 01/25
— Yesterday, I checked on IRS WMR and it still had PATH ACT
— Today I looked and PATH ACT gone and it states “We have received your refund and it is being processed…” — bars are gone
— On 02/11, TT bars said my return had been processed and my “Expected DDD was 02/12” but of course…I know that’s a pile :o)

[Felicia Marie Mailand]

So i understand ppl with path messages going back to normal processing ok but what if your return never went to path and it should of…. I dont know what to think about mine…. You guys have any answers?

[redacted B]

Accepted 1/22/19 and been on code 1541 since 2/09/19.

[Wanda Cardec]

Filed 1/18, accepted 1/22. Today PATH was lifted but I’m back to processing. No DDD on transcript 😩

[Toni]

Filed early Jan and accepted before 1/28 (assumed test batch? but there’s no way to know forsure) No deposit date, path went away this morning 2/16 but still being processed not even showing any bars which I’m not sure why.*** So whoever said that everyone in the test batches would have gotten their refund this past week. No hun, that is not accurate and unless you processed their returns you cannot tell them when it would/should/could come.*** It’s all a guessing game! But for those who were accepted early, EIC/ACTC claimed, I’m in that same boat and no change except path is gone today. No ddd, no codes, just waiting. 2018 return came 2/16 in the evening EST and had filed later than i did this year.

[Jay]

I don’t give two shits about y’all who have the 2/22 I wanna know what’s up with the ones that don’t. So we get it you got 2/22 piss off and let us figure real shit out you peasants

I have no way to check my account transcripts, as it won’t recognize my CC’s #’s

I’m just hoping that my DDD is also 2/22 like most people.

[Ash]

How do you know your in the “TEST BATCH”. I never heard of that. Best of luck everyone and thanks☺

Does this mean funds released 2/22 or before/by 2/22? I’m with BofA and I think they hold till actual DDD date given by IRS. No early release. Can anyone confirm?

[Benjamin Randall]

I’m in the same boat as Chase. Was accepted to test batch on 1/17. Had 1 bar. That bar disappeared on the 28th it had the generic 152 stuff. checked it this morning and its back to being received and being processed. This is the worst tax season ever. I don’t really care as to when they get back. I really just want to know they are approved and everything is on track. Any updates that a re good?

[Chase]

I did my taxes on 1/28
Accepted on 1/28.
It was stuck at TOPIC 152 up until an hour ago. Now it’s saying: “We have received your tax return and it is being processed”
What exactly does that mean?

[Jessica Murray]

Oh I updated to path on 1/28 too

[Jessica Murray]

I got my deposit last year on my rushcard on the 16th before wmr updated
I only checked my wmr once today and went to check it at 6pm and it locked me out for an attempted second time. I thought that was a little weird.
Fingers crossed for DDD’s for everyone soon.

[Amanda]

Heath,
you can go to the SBBT bank website and see if they have received your refund… you type in your info and it logs you into your profile where you can see when they receive your money…it is similar to the where’s my refund tool

[Ashley]

I was accped 1/14 and got PATH update last Saturday morning. Hopefully this Saturday I will wake up to a ddd.

[Me]

Anyone yet started receiving refunds with eic, and child dependent credits claimed???? No luck on this side😥

[Aaron]

Is it really that hard to go on Google and type in what PATH means? It takes more time to get to this thread to ask this question.

[Brianna]

Can someone explain to me what the PATH message is? Is that the 152 tax topic refund information? I don’t have EIC but I do have dependents.

[charles glenn]

ok so lets get this straight…nobody here thats got a path message can also be a test batcher. you would have received your refund this week if you were on the test batch and youd be done for the year.

[Okasha Felder]

I file and got expected on the January 28 and im in the test bath i been on the path

[Heath]

Ok….so I filed 2/1 with Jackson Hewitt and I kept ONLY getting the tax topic 152 until last night when that went away in favor of the BARS!!! It was only on one bar. So…I talked to Jackson Hewitt yesterday and today and both people confirmed my return was accepted and processed and was sitting in the IRS Bank waiting to be issued….despite WMR only showing 1 bar.

Should I expect it soon?

[Felicia Marie Mailand]

I filed on 2/2/19 and still one bar but no path yet….. Anyone have any idea why.

If you filed and were accepted before 1/28/19 then you were more than likely in a test batch.

Ordering by mail won’t tell you everything, they could be blank. I could order them the day o filed. Have you tried to view them online? You can see all of your codes that way and if they update.

My friend got a 152 code and received a paper check by request filed single no eic or other credits got paid today so 152 doesnt mean direct deposit i saw it myself and wmr never updated for her just email to pick up check from the preparer im a path i have tt152 and was accepted the 16th still on path as of just now but I always am every year with tt152 and i always get my dd with no problem I ordered transcripts today by mail both account and return so idk just waiting

Made it to one bar in WMR pretty quickly and have been on PATH forever it seems. Last year my DD came on the 16th of Feb, even though we were told not to expect it that early. I wound up having it put on a prepaid card this year-praying no issues with that.

She said it should deposit 21 days from the date I was accepted which would put me been deposited on the 18th but that is a holiday so I’m hoping for the 23rd or possibly the weekend prior to the 18th.

Good luck, yall!

[Bittyb]

Taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit may experience a refund hold. According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue these refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or debit cards starting February 27, 2019, if these taxpayers chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return.

I filed Jan, 12th and wmr showed accepted on the 15th. Two days later the one bar I had disappeared and in it’s place where the 152 and 9001 codes. These codes are showing up for early filers because the normal 21 day wait for refund deposits does not apply to “us”. I have read everything I could find and in the end it’s really just a default screen/code. Nothing special or horrible. Basically our returns/refunds are in a queue mode till tax season officially opens. So sit back relax and dream of the day we wake up to a ddd to appear once tax season officially opens. P.s. last year my refund was deposited before it showed up on wmr site. So it was a nice surprise.

I hope it updates to Path messages and deposit dates soon.

[Trista]

@Monee Yes! I am also noticing a pattern of 9001 appearing 2 days after acceptance.

[Monee]

If you press home and scroll down you will see that mostly everyone had one bar and then lost it to 9001.

Found on The College Investor site (reputable information blog):

“What IRS Code 9001 Really Means
The actual code tells you exactly what it means – you filed a tax return that had multiple Social Security numbers attached to it. Typically, this is a husband and wife, but it could also include children as well (you never know, adult dependents may be checking the status of the refund). When you file your tax return, you have to specify a primary taxpayer, and the spouse or children all are secondary.”

Additionally, “The IRS has an entire manual dedicated to errors and problems that they encounter… For the most part, codes less than 2000 are related directly to your return. Anything higher (like code 9001), it’s related to something totally different…”

We will see how it goes happy income taxing…..

Some of us are getting 9001 that aren’t married. I think someone even got it who has no dependents. The general conclusion is that 9001 is a glitch that will update when Path act or ddd happens. I guess we will find out.

My fiance is the only one to file in my house and he is HOH, not a joint return and he has that same code

[CindyC]

For sure tax topic 152 is DD code. I have it every year it’s nothing to worry about. I have never had code 9001. I saw an article online that said it was given to those who are married and filed jointly when you don’t enter the primary tax payers social on wmr. So if you get it when you put yours in check your spouses and see if it is still there. Honestly not sure about it as I am HOH. I do know tax topic 152. If you click the highlighted code on WMR it usually gives some general info about the code.

I filed January 14th and was accepted the next day. Married filing joint. Code 9001 shows up on my husband’s social but not on mine. It really must be a glitch of some sort. We are still in the testing phase

[Alicia Mckinnon]

Filed 01/14/19 accepted 01/15/19 today i woke up to code 9001 as well. If its a lot of early filers getting the same code then i think its the IRS not anything to do with our return filed.

[cheryl e kendrick]

it can take 24 hours once accepted to show up on the website or app, I get same message on both, no bars and yet code 152 and If I have any questions call and mention 9001

[cheryl e kendrick]

topic 152 just means you signed up for direct deposit of your check, alot of us lost the bar, seems to be sometype of glitch on the site

[Jamie]

Filed 1/10 Accepted 1/14 Monday, Tuesday had 1 bar. Today Wednesday updated to down message with reference number 9001, which I have read could be ID verify. But it seems that everyone that got accepted Monday has that message

[Monee]

I’m in the test batch. I filed 1/14 and was accepted 1/15. WMR has 1 bar and tt152. I’m a PATHer as well

[Renee]

Ok I guess it’s good we’re not alone in the wmr change. I’ve read so many different things about the tax topic 152… code 9001. Nobody really knows it sounds like.. lol I am just hoping it doesn’t mean some sort of delay. Update if anyone’s change

[Jibbbjawww]

Mine has topic 152 this morning. Also, I was accepted 4 minutes after I filed. And showed up on WMR immediately for me.

[Mari]

Accepted on 1/14 showing one bar until this morning. Now no bars and code 9001, TT 152 still. I seen a lot of people on FB that woke up to same code. Anyone else?

[starks]

That code means you tried to check your refund using the wrong social. You filed a joint return? If you did you have to use the primary social

[John Doe]

Mine was accepted and showed on WMR orginally, but now changed to code 9001. Never received that in any years past. Says something about secondary TIN. Any clue???

[starks]

how long did it take to show info on wmr after being accepeted? I was accepted yesterday but my return still isnt showing up on wmr
