*FILERS AND ACCEPTED ON 01/11/16**
If anyone filed and/or accepted on 01/11 please go to the thread for … Early Filers 01/11/16 …and post updates. This site is very useful to track our $$ but with so many commenting and now arguing….it’s hard to stay up-to-date with any changes without having to scrolls through all the sh*t talk. So if ya’ll wana help each other out who filed on 01/11 or were accepted that day…let’s all comment under that thread bc 99% chance we will all start to see a change arpund the same time. Here’s my info:
*Filed 01/11 accepted same day.
*Jackson Hewitt amd I will go through TPG for deductions before I recieve my deposit. TPG says they have not recieved my refund yet but does show amount I am due and the fees that will be deducted.
*WMR: Stuck at 1st bar for over a week now
*EZ1040 not itemizing.
*The transcript theory is TRUE-mines not avaliable yet
*Last year I never got more than 2 bars on WMR and my ddd was for a Friday and I recived it at 3:30am 2 days prior.
*ACH Transfer work this way, just like payroll. I process payroll for my company: If there is to be a DD made to you scheduled for a certain day…the ach wire MUST be submitted to the recieving bank at a minimum of 2 days in advance of the scheduled date. This gives the banks time to clear the check into your account…and collect interest off of it while its in their possession. Depending on who you bank with will impact when the funds are released. A regular bank will hold your money until the scheduled deposit date. A prepaid card such as ..Rush, AmEx Serve, Netspend, etc…do NOT hold your funds and release them as soon as they recieve them…hence the advertising for *2 days early. So u have a 98% chance that if you get a date that your money is transferred 2 days prior to that for processing. I use Rush for my DD at work. I submit them by 1pm on Wednesday for a scheduled deposit on Fridays. But since I am not with a “traditional” bank, once rush recieves my ach wire they relaease it. Same day that I submitted at 11pm Wednesday nights. This will help to give u a time table on when to really expect it.Hope this helps someone and come see me in the 01/11/16 thread!!! Happy Taxmas!!! -

I file with freetaxusa.com I’m self employed and had to file a schedule C. Been filing with them for over 5yrs never had a problem. I use them because I don’t have to pay a fee to file schedule C.

Early filer here (usually an early filer with no issues year after year, except last year with Healthcare with a mistake I did).
Otherwise SredactedPants’ timetable is pretty spot on.
I Filed w TT 1/7/2016
Email from TT IRS accepted on 1/11/2016 (and est of refund Jan 19- Feb 8).
First bar on WMR (Received) showing today, Wednesday, 1/13/2016 (hence Wed updates).
(First bar shows Received, second bar will show Approved, final bar will show Refund Sent).I’ll provide updates. Good luck everyone.

@alabamagal, if you did not get a form 1099, then you need to file a schedle C (self employment). Freetaxusa will allow you to file a schedule C for free for federal. Turubo Tax charges a ton and Tax Act charges $14.95.
@mommyoftwo, just file your w2 then. Many people change jobs. -

@mominillinois No i didnt work as self employed last year i had a regular job last year. I usually file schedule c because of the self employment but last year i did not do any self employment so i wanted to file just using my w2. I never had any problems with the irs not even with my refund. I want to file taxes on my own using my computer instead of going to a tax preparer. Im not trying to get audit just trying to save a few bucks in my pocket.

If you file your own taxes and had some self employment are you required to complete some forms other than what the site allowed?? Filed using TAX ACT. First year filing on my own need some info

@mommyoftwo, are you still working as a self employed person??? If so, you will still have to file either a 1099 or a Schedule C.

Hello again everyone! I filed with Freetaxusa this year instead of Tax Act because I was tired of the fees to file a schedule C. I just submitted mine and pray nothing goes wrong. I have been in the test batches the last few years and never had any issues. Anyone have experience with Freetaxusa? Thanks!

I sit here again wondering – do I file early or wait? I’ve never had an issue with my returns n the past. WMR is usually very slow at updating but I always get my refund when I should ( within the 21 days it says you should for DD). I think last year I filed a day or two before opening. So what’s the verdict?? Early or wait???

This has always been true for me also, for the most part. Except when filing early.
