Just wanted to make a topic for people to go to when they have been put under review and share their experiences.
Filed 1/12 HRB online. Accepted 1/30. I was processing 1/30,1/31, and 2/1 and finally updated to this:
We have received your tax return and it is being reviewed. You will receive a notice from us requesting additional information within 30 calendar days. You may not receive all or part of your refund until we receive and review the information we requested. If you need more information after you receive our notice, call the number on the notice.
Please do not contact us until you have received the notice as we are unable to take any action until then.

I filed Jan 4th, and have received two letters saying we are under review and that no action is needed at this time. I have checked my tax transcript probably 10 times. There is a new date on there of 4/27 not sure what that means. I have codes 570 and 971. Never spoke to a live person because there are none. Its been forever. I was recently married last year and so our income together was a lot higher than just mine from the previous year. I don’t know but I am sick of waiting.

It has been passed 21 days so I called IRS and was told my tax was under review and I would get a letter in 30 days. I went on EPS and it shows my refund processed however deducted to equal zero so nothing is disbursed. On my Where’s my refund ” the message my “Refund is till being processed and and date available when it happens with code 152.” What does this mean? I am scared.

I used TurboTax to file 2013 taxes. I decided to paper file because I have an Injured Spouse Form I have to do every year because my wife forclosed on her house before we got married.
I mailed the taxes with the Injured Spouse form on 1/12/14. I got notice from Where’s My Refund that papers were received 2 weeks later. Next day, it said processing.
Months go by, and no word from the IRS, no status update. My wife called and the lady said they have until 6/12/2014 to handle Injured Spouse Allocations. It is now 6/20/2014. 1 week after their deadline, my wife called again, and they said they were waiting on a document to be sent from another office (really vague).
I’m still “processing”.Who is holding these people accountable? Why is this so difficult? I’ve been waiting for ages to get my refund and the result is I have now been sued, because I was planning on using this money to pay off some debts. Now I’m screwed! Thanks IRS, go suck an egg.
-
okay so this is my first time filling, filled 02/11 got accepted the next day. months went pass so I called and they said no verification of employment and that I was under review. after the review time was up the guy I talked with sent a referral & told me to wait another 4-6 weeks. it is now near the end of may & im going to school in less then 2 months I was counting on that money to buy the things I needed for my freshmen year.

Super User EPO39b…did you get a commission for that useless info you posted?
I eFiled my 2013 return through H & R Block on Jan 22nd 2014. The return was accepted by the IRS on Jan 31st. I received a letter the first week in March dated Feb 24th that my return had been selected for verification and that I was to do nothing at that time and that the verification would be resolved in 60 days, at which point I should contact the IRS. 60+ days later I contact the IRS. I am informed that a referral letter will be sent to the IVO (Integrity& Verification Office) that they have ANOTHER 30 days to conclude the verification and release my refund. It is now the second week in May and I still have not received my refund. Every phone call to the IRS office takes 45 minutes of wait time to speak to a live person and then I am told that they have to wait for the referral to expire before any action can occur. I contacted the Tax Payer Advocate for assistance in this matter. A WASTE OF TIME. My humble opinion is that the Tax Payer Advocate is a Federally funded “hand holding” measure that does NOTHING that will actually benefit anyone.
I was laid off 2 years ago and returned to college as a full time student. A significant part of my financial budget for this semester was that tax refund. Now I am behind in my bills. I owe friends and family money. My auto insurance has lapsed due to non payment. I got a title loan on my 2001 car mistakenly thinking that surely the IRS would not need OVER 3 MONTHS to make a phone call or ask my former employer for documentation. They proved me wrong.
I am now a committed advocate to abolishing the IRS forever. The day that happens? Good luck with those extended emergency unemployment benefit forms you Jerks.

Good luck folks! They pulled mine for 2012 saying it was under review, then sent me a list of info they wanted proving every penny of my income and other things – basically a very lazy way of auditing me. I sent it all in and they denied it. I called and was told that they are withholding the refund but are holding me accountable for the taxes. It doesn’t even seem legal to me. I sent in an appeal and have heard nothing. Now, just filed my 2013 taxes and it is also under review. I don’t expect much from them. Fortunately I just moved out of Michigan and never plan to return, but if I was living there I wouldn’t even bother.

I filed 2/5/2014 it got accepted 2/6, when I checked the IRS the bar was on stage 1 and on 2/23/14 the bar stop showing and now all it says is Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. There is nothing under notes. I spoke to a rep today and he said mine was pulled for review- it should take up to 8 weeks. So by April 18. 14. He didn’t say anything about red flags or a letter. This year I did file married joint and this is the first year me and my husband did it. SO I am hoping its that. I have no idea what else it could be. SMH it does suck that the IRS can take their time to issue our checks but are so fast to take every penny before we even see it. but I guess that’s life.. smh

I received an under review letter that says I don’t need to do anything. It says I will know something by April 17th. I filed on 01/31 and was accepted on 02/03. What’s the cause of this?

Correction to my earlier post ***i received tax topic 151 not 152
-
I got the code 1252 last year with the message of tax topic 152 and stating I would receive something in the mail and not to contact the irs until I did so. It ended up being a correspondence audit, over the EIC, which baffled me as all my prior returns the last few years have been pretty similar, but to give everyone a heads up I waited to receive the letter and it asked for documents to prove I was HOH such as bg&e bills, rent receipts, etc and to prove my children lived with my all year I had to get letters from their school and pediatrician on their letterheads (IRS was very specific about that)! I filed on 2/22, received irs letter 3/12, mailed documents certified on 3/31 and heard nothing back whatsoever and then out of nowhere my entire refund I was supposed to receive was direct deposited in my account at the end of July….yes the end of July!!! Needless to say I was happy to receive it but it was a huge headache and this year I have yet to file-I want to but nervous it will happen all over again, since I read stories about people having this happen to them for several consecutive years! Hope this info helps someone, I know last year this site was my saving grace while I was going through my tax refund hell! Best luck to you all!

I am a first time filer I E-Filed on Jan 30. 2014 through Turbo Tax a week or 2 later I got this message:
We have received your tax return and it is being reviewed. You will receive a notice from us requesting additional information within 30 calendar days. You may not receive all or part of your refund until we receive and review the information we requested. If you need more information after you receive our notice, call the number on the notice.
Please do not contact us until you have received the notice as we are unable to take any action until then.Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 151, Your Appeal RightsSo I called 1.866.897.3315 on 02.18.2014 because I have not gotten a letter or anything yet but I do owe 400.00 in student loans now I was on hold for quite some time after being on hold the phone kept hanging up I kept calling back until I spoke to Ms. Parker I.D. Number 100161269 who advised me that
Can not release refund because of the student loan from 2008 so they are going to pay the student loan off first then I should receive my return she did not have a DD but she was very helpful she actually called me back and told me to call this number 1 866.897.0177 so I called this is about the earned income credit that is what the recording says I was on hold for a long time before I spoke to Vincent Price I.D. Number 1002778713 who advised me that there is nothing in the system for me right but if I am selected for an audit and usually if you claim a dependent for the first time you will be audited then I will need to fax in additional information but he told me to give it another week to see if I get a letter saying I am being audited he was very nice and helpful.. -
I have also received a your return is under review…although, now where is my refund is down. ” We are sorry Where’s My Refund is currently unavailable. Please try Where’s My Refund again later”
I don’t know what is going on and my refund is under $4000.00 -
I am currently under review, my taxes accepted 2/15, received notice that i needed to send in ‘verification’ papers for the EIC/dependent credits, faxed them in and they received 3/13, called at least once a week to twice a week, its been over 45 days and they say it still hasnt been reviewed yet.All they can say is they get lots of paperwork and are still working on the ones from the end of February/beginning of March. Really?!!! Are they really that dumb or that understaffed. This is VERY frustrating as everytime i call they say it should be done next week, then i hear the same thing the week after, then they tell me day 45 it should be done. What BS!
-
still nothing for me

Any updates

Sent 2/1
Accepted 2/15
DD 3/4
DD pulled 3/5
Told my file would be reaccepted 3/9
4-6 weeks from filingWill never file electronically again. Putting together lawsuit against HRBlock.

Spoke with tx advocate yesterday. She told me that all adjustments were made and the codes were put in to release my refund. She Said I should have a Ddd in one to two weeks. I really hope so but will not get my hopes up.
-
I was put under “extended review”. I contacted the IRS and was told that I was under review. I was informed that I should expect a letter that would detail what is needed and the exact reason for the review.
I received a letter 3 days later stating I was under review and that they needed nothing from me.
I contacted the tax advocate line and explained my situation. She stated that I would be contacted in three days.
Four days later (6 if you included the weekend), I received a call from a tax advocate.
She stated I needed to provide proof of my employment with my claimed 6 employers. The Lady then told me to obtain 6 letters on company letterhead from each of the employers. When asked why the W2s were not sufficient she said they can be faked. I was also told that employers were given longer to file the w2 and that is why a lot of us are under review. Over the course of trying to obtain these letters (2 of which I was able to obtain) I found out from her that only 2 letters were actually needed. Unfortunately they were not the ones obtained.
I am trying to keep this short but yet detailed. I am still battling -
Okay so an update on my situation. Reviewed for HOH and EIC. After faxing all my info and waiting the prescribed 2 weeks from the date the advocate sent it to irs review department, I got a phone call this morning saying that they approved my refund, that the info I sent was sufficient (33 pages). Now they have to input it back into the computer system and let it process, wait 21 days, which I think is BS because I have my return transcript with the full credit on it. I know that my refund has been processed and is awaiting them to release it, which I hope takes less than a week. TAS is a load of crap, I sent in a three day notice with my info and it has been 3 weeks already, the review department took the entire two weeks that they had to approve and now I am just waiting again. Seems to me they could have just looked at the info and released the refund by now. Guess I should consider myself blessed that I do not have to wait 45 or 60 days like some people are. it is hard though to consider oneself blessed when facing eviction. Next year I will definitely not plan on using my refund for essentials, then I will not have this problem.
-
I don’t come here and update cos I still have nothing lol. Still same msg on WMR since 2/16 & no Dodd.
-
Update:
3/2 – Refund finally approved with a DD date of 3/12. I guess they actually are starting to process the EITC returns now.
-
What happened to everyone that was writing on this forum with updates?? Ever since the website went thru their updates for a few days, nobody updates the status of their returns here anymore…..

Filed: 1/30/13
Accepted: 1/30/13
~$1100 return, EIC, no dependents, 1 W22/1 – Still being processed
2/19 – Status changed to “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.”
2/25 – I haven’t been able to see the status on the WMR page
2/28 – Finally called IRS and found out I am under review and could be for 4-6 weeks. Still can’t order transcripts. No letters received in the mail.That seems like a pretty long time frame to look over something that simple. I thought they would check for accuracy when they processed it, but apparently not. Hopefully it will be done sooner, but I’m pretty sure it wont.
On a side note, I mailed in an amended 2011 return a week after e-filing my 2012 return and will receive a check for that in less than a week. Maybe filing electronically isn’t the way to go anymore.

Hey my fellow under reviewer… I got my return transcripts in the mail today…I called again… Trying to find out more information on the hold/review… and at this point I have NO IDEA what is going to happen… was told they were looking into my information making sure everything was on the up n up and who know how long it will take… she told me if they need more info that they will send me another letter… to find out this it only took 4hrs on the phone being disconnected 4 times and transferred 6… Hoping for no more letters and a DD soon… I have no idea how long I have been on hold but I called last wed and found out about it…oh well I guess I can stop waiting for it now at least I know something Good luck to you all
-
@ccs753 I think it is just a process as I faxed over all my docs last week and she told me she sent my information over and asked everything to be completed by 2/27. She told me we were scheduled to talk again on 3/4 but I could call her on 2/28. This to me sounds better than 60 days the letter is saying it may take. Hopefully it will all get done sooner for you.
-
it is insane, I send over all information requested to the tax advocate, along with a 3 day notice to pay rent or quit. Then she asks for the letter the IRS sent me, so I fax that also, now the faxed paperwork they have received is 33 pages. When I call to confirm that she received the fax she tells me yes and she will send the info over either this day or the next and I should expect to hear from her by March 6. What part of 3 day notice does she not understand?? How freaking long can it take to verify the info and release the funds, my refund is already credited to my account just let it go already.
-
Deposit date, not review date.
-
How do you know if you are REALLY under review? F/a 1/30, had orange status bar until a week ago then went to processing reveiw date when available. Ordered transcripts 2 weeks ago, recieved them a week ago. That had a date of 2/25 on it. Not sure about any codes on there though. Called IRS Friday and they told us it’s under review, to expect a letter sent out on March 4th. Looks like a lot of you already have letters or notices on wmr but so far nothing like that here. Really frustrated waiting!
-
yeah holly, mine said that. i have been reading up about that letter and found out that it is a letter of error on behalf of the irs
-
Nothing new our Tax Advocate called back Friday. Wanted us to fax her a copy of our taxes, review letter, w-2, last paycheck stub of the year.
So I got that all faxed over Friday afternoon. So now we wait some more.I have a question for everyone who got the CP05 letter.
At the top does it say:
Important information about Combat Zone tax deferment
We’re holding your refund until we finish reviewing your tax returnJust what the hell is combat zone tax deferment?
-
@kay kay. I completely AGREE
-
oh n btw I still have not got my account transcripts or anything else from the IRS since Feb 1… so i guess that’s a silver lining in this dark cloud….
-
good evening all thought I would update you on what’s going on: 2/20/12 received state refund… was able to order return transcript either the 20-22 unsure of what date now… 2/21 called finally and talked to a very nice lady… (asked to check if my DD information was correct) said I had a issue with my state being deposited (lie) she verified my info was correct then I asked if she could see a DD date. No she said that my return was on hold but couldn’t tell me why…smh then she asked if I received a letter on the 26th I stated no I never got a letter (lie)…. she told me to look for a DD sometime around the beginning of next month and it could take up to 60 days from the 31…..which puts it at about easter sunday… I have decided to give up on getting a refund cause at this rate it doesn’t look like I am getting one… WMR still says the same a refund date will be blah blah blah…. but if I get a change I will let you know… I’m done

@sheashell… It basically means that they need more time to us our refunds and dont have the balls to simply say it…
-
i still have not received any transcripts or letter and my wmr messages says they will give me a date when available….irs says its under review and on hold but hold dept not holding it…no code on wmr also…should i call again…???
-
what proof of hardship did the advocate need
-
I received a CP05 letter in the mail yesterday does anyone know what that means the letter dated that they didn’t need any information from me so I don’t know what the review is for….
-
Hi everyone. So I am in the same boat as everyone. I filed on the 30th and then got a 4464c letter in the mail with no code. It was dated 2/5/2013. I did call the holds dept. and the lady i spoke with said there were no holds.
For the whole time i was getting the generic 21 day message, but yesterday it changed to the will give me a dd when available.
Well, today I was able to order a return transcript (finally). IDK if that mean Im done processing or if I am going to see a dd soon but just wanted to let everyone know my story. Hopefully I get a dd soon, then we will know there is hope.
-
this what wmr says “We have received your tax return and it is being reviewed. You will receive a notice from us requesting additional information within 30 calendar days. You may not receive all or part of your refund until we receive and review the information we requested. If you need more information after you receive our notice, call the number on the notice.
Please do not contact us until you have received the notice as we are unable to take any action until then.”….one agent from “holds dept.” says we’re processing another random agent also says processing…WTH!!!
-
sorry, this was a duplicate response because first one didn’t show. i thought i could delete the duplicate by clicking edit but it doesn’t let me delete it…just edit.
-
i can’t get tax advocate :(. can’t prove hardship. ugh
-
duce they told me same thing…hope its true…he didn’t tell me how long but he said he would have it released
-
@holly d i have to prove I’m the head of household and prove my kids are mine and they live with me I had to get school records and doctor records because they told me that the birth certificate is not good enough I faxed in all the paper work and now there telling me it can take 2 weeks for the fax to get in the system and OVER 30 DAY FOR THEM TO REVIEW IT
-
Just talked with Tax Advocate and she told me for 4464c to fax over my W-2, proof of hardship, voided check stub (for tax refund direct deposit), and last paycheck stub. Once she receives that today she will try and get a manual refund and have it within 3 to 7 days. She was way more friendly than any rep I have dealt with.
-
they will holly…call came in as four #’s…like 4702 was the numbber that showed up on myphone..
he told me it looked like they were trying to verify my income…last year, 2011, i started my job..had a little unemployment…total income was only 4k..
well i’ve had this job all year…16k income…4x income, no withhnoldings..i never have withholdings bbut the increase in comne from the same job flagged me…guess i’m being punished for working more. Lame.I asked him about my dependants if hge wanted proof of them..he said NO!, only flag is income..
My point is this..i have come to a conclusion…
We all got flagged but for a reason, however small or pointless..The system is very sensitive i guess and change is bad, even if it betters your family..I have to wait and get a copy of my last years pay stub from are payroll department ikn another state..fun like a week i’m sure..
going to fax him my disconnect notice though tonight..he said he would give this information to them in the morning and call me back..
‘
will definitly keep u guys posted -
Still waiting for the tax advocate to call us back >.<
-
tax advocate called me..says my last pay stub 2012 and copy of my disconnect notice sent to him…he sends to irs and tells them to release my refund…simple i hope

I mean we don’t have any credits except EIC, HOH, Child tax credit. -
@holly D AT FIRST THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN’T NEED ANYTHING RIGHT NOW BUT THEY ASK FOR IT LAST WEEK
-
Every body I know that filed last week has got there money but i filed jan 10 and I GOT A REVIEW SEND PAPER WORK AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED BUT I KNOW SOME PEOPLE THAT HAS NEW JOBS AND A NEWBORN AND THEY GOT THERES WITH NO PROBLEM.The problem is they needed to test out there new system and train employees on there new system and took everybody who filed early and we are being USED
-
Same here I am waiting to speak with advocate tomorrow but faxed over W-2 as that is all I had besides my 2 kids … received 4464c dated Feb 1 but talked to rep today in holds department and she said that a freeze code will post to my account on 3-4-12 and last 11 cycles or until mid May. Told me best bet is to go through advocate to try and shorten the verification of my W-2 and employment and communicate directly to the reviewer or reviewing department. I have only had the same job for 10 years… and 1 child for 12 years and other child for 2 years. Should not take 60+ days to verify information.
-
@Marissa 1975 same thing mine say…… Our refund was already approved just on hold for review, even though its the same as the last few years……
-
Thoughtful discussion – BTW , if someone has been looking for a IRS W-2 , my husband came across a blank document here http://goo.gl/gGnID2

-
@Marissa 1975- Same exact thing today with trans… Dous your return amount have negetive sign in front of it
-
Got my reurn transcropt today and the amout owed to me is the exact same as expected… It has a return date of either 2/18 or 4/15… I dont understand why its being held for no reason… I called the holds dept to see if I could get somewhere and found out that I didnt claim 1000 of income in 2011 but its not gonna affect this return and honostly cant by law according to the woman I spoke with… I guess al we can do now is twiddle our thumbs and waot for the lazy IRS to get their thumb out of their ass and get us our money

ordered transcripts 2/1 (both)
Called IRS three times was told everything look fine just still processing /:
Knew something was wronge seeing as how my brother I law filed last week and received his today!!!
Called and spoke with a very nice lady. She told me my refund had been aproved but had a he on it. So she transferred me to the holds department and from their I was told they didn’t see anything! Was transferred back to customer service and hung up on. Called back this time straight to the holds department.. The lady I spoke with was really short with me. She stated my refund amount and that it had a hold she wouldn’t tell me why just that I should be receiving a 4464c letter then hung up on me!
Recieved CP05 letter today (dated 2/25)!! Says they dont need any information from me at this time!! Looked at account and return transcripts and im noticing a date of 4/15/2013 on both of them… Account transcripts say
Return due date or return recieved dat (whichever is later)] 4/15/13
Processing Date 2/18/2013
WTF!!!!!!! -
They said they didn’t need anything from us so I wonder why it’s taking so damn long!
-
AND THEY SAID MINE LOOKED TO BE RAMDOM WHY THEY CAN’T JUST LOOK AT IT AND SEE NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN YEARS AND RELEASE IT.NOW I KNOW WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE ANTI GOVERNMENT
-
sent in all my paper work thursday called today and they said it never updated in there system and check back next week and after it updates it might take OVER 30 DAYS TO REVIEW IT DUE TO ALOT OF PEOPLE UNDER REVIEW
-
I got my letter today as well. Dated2/25. Found out those processing dates are just dates. Its gonna take at least 30 days.!!!!
-
@AshleyMT- we were told we were under review a few days after we were accepted on the 30th. But we just got our letter. It took a while and its dated 2/25.
-
Who has been told they are under review that STILL HAS NO FRICKING LETTER
-
I posted earlier what my letter said when I received it. I have the take action notice under review….. If you are under review you will probably be getting the CP75 LETTER telling you you need to gather info and mail or fax it to them. You can go back and try to find my previous post or do a quick google search for that code so you can start getting together what you need. Goodluck everyone. Oh and I saw someone asking about 1242 and it means it is on hold and will be released when the receive the specific info they are asking for and if you don’t respond they will just stop the payment for whatever is being held.
-
I am under review and was told my letter was sent out on January 31st. WTF, that early!? I was able to order both transcripts yesterday. I never received a letter and they told me they do not need any info, just to drew if I will get it by the 31st of March and if not they may need some more info. I filed HOH, 1 dependent and my pay had changed tremendously due to me finding work. I know my pay is the reason for the flag, but I have proof and hate that it is taking so long to let it go!
-
Ive never delt with such LAZY reps in my life… Just cussed out a rep and asked what exactly their job is supposed to be besides being lazy, also asked if they had to go to a special class to play stupid or are they all really just that stupid?! Lmfao, needless to say that he hung up on me instead of answering my question… They wouldnt look up my info so they dont know who I am, time to call 20 more times, Im done playing nice until I get answers… Wrote a letter to Jackson Hewett, IRS, and my governor….
-
my refund was done processing 2/5 or that seems to be what every rep has said and its just being held for review, we have a simple review and its the same every year don’t know what the hell is taking them forever to look up.
-
man, i still can’t irder my return transcript. honestly, i am losing hope. really wanted to go with family to disneyland but looks like i can’t. i’m so pissed i don’t even call anymore. i just come here instead.
-
so i reordered my transcripts w/ a guy on the phone…last friday i was told by a bit-c-h of a lady im still process their are no returns i can order..
anyways told me that my refund hasn’t been released yet but i already know tyhat…..well i guess 10 days and i’ll have my tanscripts
-
its not based on size its based on when u filed…
-
*I meant rm to say im recieving over 9k im concerned if u r getting over 5k ur under review because the govwrnment is broke so theie buying themselves n Im Ga so they dnt release the state until the they release the fed
-
sry..i know 3 people myself that full ut lied and are enjoying pissing away their freemoney…i am honest hard working dude- they canteven tell me how many days to call back…why dont they just say a year…
-

-

-
@ccs what kind of letter was it
-
I have been under review for 2 weeks, got my letter after I had contacted the tax advocate to help me out. i am being reviewed for EIC, HOH, and dependents. Yesterday I sent a 30 page fax to the advocate, including a 3 day notice from my landlord. Told her I had a week to come up with $3k from my $7k refund or would be taken to court and me and my 2 year old developmentally disabled nephew and 15 year old daughter would be facing eviction. She said it could take up to 4 weeks but would try to get a manual release of the $3k. Same exact filing as last year, this is such BS. for those of you who are really under review for EIC or HOH, start getting your paperwork together, and if you have a legitimate hardship get in touch with a tax advocate.
-
Just got off the Phone wit the irs rep….she stated that im done processing, but my refund is Under Review….really dont get y would that go through the trouble to Process a Return that is Accurate…I swear these irs reps…be lying
-
I agree also…@HollD….. just give a date and I would let them do their job and not bother them. The unknown of what is going on bothers me but I will wait until Thur 21 days have expired before I call again. Hoping for update on Tue or Wed as there are alot of people getting the processing date will be given when available and alot of peole on the blog that have reviews, holds, freezes.
-
@HollyD- No doubt, I wouldnt mind getting my refund at the beginning of next month… Im just stressed cause I put in for my vaca at work that I cant switch and promised my kids a trip to Disneyland in Cali… I hate breaking promises to my kids and this dumb ass IRS shit has me feeling like its about to be a broken promise
-
If they would just give me a date I think I would be much more calm. Then I would know when I get my money! I don’t like this not knowing whats going on!
-
Im WAYYYYYY to stressed out about this…
-
@ctheexpat and @HollyD- I appreciate the answers cause I had absolutely no idea… Hopefully its closer to 6am est cause I just checked and nothinh different… Its 11pm here in Vegas so I have a couple more hours to stalk the irs lmfao
-
It only updates once a day (usually overnight) and it is done by the time they open at 7am Est.
-
@VEGAS.BOII. NO one knows. It’s different every day but always only one time and between midnight – 6am East Coast Time
-
Does anybody know when the WMR & HOTLINE update??? Legit answers
-
Yep same here… Im done being nice and patient… I will do everything in my power to get answers… We do not deserve to be swept under the rug like our money is not important…
-
Everytime I call they tell me to call back after 60 days. When I ask 60 days from what they don’t know…….
60 days from when I filed? 60 days from the letter?
I wish they would all get on the same page. Because no matter who you talk to you get a different answer. -
Im calling every hour from 7am to 7pm tomorrow
-
@vegas boii I am still waiting for a ddd. I hope we all get answers this week though, i am tired of waiting with no answers! LOL
-
@HollyD I got the same generic letter .. Whats your ddd if you dont mind and when did you get that and was it off of mr or hotline… Please let me know
-
@mrsdaw oh, there’s hope!!! did they get ddd from wmr/hotline or from irs rep/tax advocate? i got a 4464 c letter too and haven’t gotten a code on wmr/hotline or another letter for further action. i can be hopeful but don’t feel very hopeful because i still can’t order my return transcript. fingers & whatever can cross (lmbo) crossing for all of us!!
-
It makes sense that they changed so many from the 21 day message to the processing. The 21 days are up this week for everyone that filed by 2/1. It would be stupid to see a 21 day message when its been 25 days or more. I wish I could look at it positively but I think it’s just the IRS covering its ass. Just another excuse for phone reps not to help us
-
@mrsdaw What is the 4464c letter?
I got a generic CP05 letter.
And woot one got a ddd now 1000000000000000000 to go LOL -
@Holly actually I spoke with royjb on the main forum and he got his DDD this weekend for 02/21 he was under review and received the 4464c letter as well so there is some hope…1 of us made it!! Fingers crossed that we will all be singing that same song soon.
-
I will be happy when one of us under review gets a DDD!
Then we at least know they are doing something.
I see tons of people under review on here and on facebook tax pages yet, I have yet to see anyone who was under review get a refund or at least a DDD. So what gives? Have they not started anyones review yet?
I mean come on now we are 19 days into the official tax season and no one under review has a date yet. -
i still can’t order a return transcript.
-
I ordered my set about a week ago and still javent got them
-
I ordered two sets of transcripts a couple days apart and it took them about a week and a half to get to me
-
When did you order them? It took over a week to get mine in the mail.
I did however just order another one just to see if the date on it changes about processing. -
i ordered tanscripts,never got- called last week she said inever ordered because im still processing…now i can’t order necause it says i alreadydid…what should i do on this.,
-
@yvette63… I sure hope so… seems as though there were many people who are now processing message. I just received this message last Tue morning and able to order my return scrip on Thursday. I just do not see how they hold so many people so I am hoping theses holds fall off or something positive.
-
@Deuce, my WMR also changed to that still processing message today after over 2 weeks of the same generic 21 day message. My daughter got the same message last week and got her DDD a couple of days later. I know of a couple of other people this happened to…So I’m thinking maybe its a good sign.
-
My transcript says 2/18..
-
Has anyone gotten an update as of today? My transcript has a 2/25 processing date. I noticed some have 2/18 .
-
I haven’t gotten anything yet. The rumor is (of course not confirmed) that the 2/18 date on our transcripts was the day that reviews are released. God I would love that. I still haven’t even got a letter yet
-
I had to force myself to stay off this site all weekend hoping I would see some changes.I still have the when available message and I could order the return transcripts as of 2/14. I have noticed that a lot of people now have that date when available message. Lets pray that this is a good outcome for everyone who has it.
-
Has anyone under review received DD yet or status has changed? My aunt has been under review for about 10 days and no letter or code. Does anyone know what that means?
-
Anyone have any positive changes today? Not sure DDD were given out today… not seeing anyone with 2/23 DDD as of this morning. Just alot of people getting changed from 21 day to the refund date given when available which I guess is a positive sign unless a ton of people are under review.
-
i had ordered them on 2/6….and it let me reorder them yesterday and wmr says a direct deposit date will be made when available…
-
@swiggins2001 You can reorder transcripts after so many days.
@styxparadise for some reason I had a damn dream about the 25th LOL
Lets hope we all hear some news this week!
-
i can only order acct transcript…still can’t order return transcript.
-
for some reason the irs let me order my transcripts again….????
-
I too am angry…
but i will wait to see what tax advocates says later this week…i give it to the10th of march before i offically give up…
me and the old lady have some wierd feeling 25th of feburary brings good news
-
@pb the answer that 2013taxpayer has is the same I found
-
@pb “1242 is a “reserved” delay code. The IRS does not publicize the reason behind it. There are many possible reasons but the EIC seems to be a very common area. If you’ve claimed the EIC and there is anything questionable about the claim your refund will be delayed while the IRS investigates it.”
-
my wmr now has a reference number 1242. does anyone know what this means? it says to call and mention that code
-
@iwantmymoney- Ive already emailed 2 of our local news stations so we will see
-
Nothing has changed here WMR still says the same message it has said from day one
Refund Status ResultsYour tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.
Please Note:
For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.It has always said this. The only thing different is it now lists my refund amount on the bottom left and the info about 152 or whatever is gone now.
Friday we were told our refund was done processing but is being held for review and this can still take until April >.< Talked to the tax advocate and he said he don't see anything different from the last few years he doesn't understand why we are being reviewed when even the income isn't that much different.
-
appears code 971 is for notice sent….
-
requested my transcripts on 2/7 and still havent received them and now wmr says refund date when available
-
hmmm theres no action code after the 971 on mine
-
10th Street & Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20004
This here is the address to the commissioners office we shall not be treated as such -
@charity I found this…
he IRS developed and implemented identity theft indicator codes to centrally mark and track identity theft incidents. Each indicator is input on affected taxpayers’ accounts using Transaction Code 971 with any of six different action codes.[5] The IRS currently uses these identity theft indicators to gather IRS-wide identity theft data for reporting taxpayers affected and identity theft incidents. For example, the IRS inputs Transaction Code 971 with the following action codes:
· Action Code 501 – used when the taxpayer reported the identity theft. It is input after the IRS confirms a taxpayer is a victim of identity theft and resolves the case.
· Action Code 506 – used when the IRS identifies and confirms a taxpayer who is an identity theft victim.
· Action Code 522 – used when the IRS receives a taxpayer’s identifying documentation.[6]
-
anyone on hold got their transcripts? anyone with 971 code?
-
This is bull crap honestly we all need to contact our news departments I’ve already emailed three we have todo this as our voice lets start today so by Tuesday they will get the damn point and start releasing these fake a@@ holds that they put on us for no damn reason I’m dead serious I’m ready to do a damn rally .
-
I filed 1/17 through tt and accepted on 1/24. I was finally able to order a return transcript on Friday then my 21 day message went to, (a refund date will be provided when available)
-
@styxparadise lol@maybe should of had microsoft create it….i agree.
-
they both filed early
-
Ijust found out yesterday that my 2 co-workers who file got put inreview….its because wefilied early, system sucks…maybe should of had microsoft create it
-
No change for me this morning still have the Refund date will be provided when available. Ordered scripts last Thursday morning… ordered an account script yesterday to see what codes may be on it. Received letter 4464c dated Feb 1.. Filed Tax Act 1/20, Accepted 1/25, per IRS Accepted 1/28… Confirmed return Resequenced 1 to 2 cycles. Status changed from 21 day lingo to new refund date given when available jargon last week… Confirmed yesterday there is still hold on refund and return is finished processing but Exams department on Friday (day before yesterday) confirmed I am not in their department but return was NOT finished processing…I have been told to just sit back and wait.. conflicting info as usual … refund over $8k
-
A good news from someone under review – I WON A $25 scratch off lottery yesterday!!! But no movement on my DDD except the bars disappeared this. Morning and now I just have “a refund date will be provided, check back”. I’ve heard from some that this is a good sign & from others it means nothing???
-
So have anyone heard any good news from anyone under review?
-
@ctheexpat ok that makes feel a little better I just cant figure out y im under review nothing has changed jn my circumstance
-
The amnt of your refund should have nothing to do with any holds unless its very different then previous amnts. Just cuz it’s a large number won’t raise eyebrows if your income is large enough to justify it & its not a great deal more then prior refunds. I know a number of people w $20K – $35K refunds and they have ALL gotten them already (EXCEPT ME,!!!!)
-
@southern Belle no problem…i don’t mind :). whatever helps ya know, as long as my personal info isn’t asked hehe. i posted it earlier…so it’s ok :)
-
@2013.wasnt.trying to.be.nosey I was trying too see if its.over 8k meant being reviewed
-
@southern Belle my refund is $3405
-
@2013 We have the exact.case except mines is off by 2 days is ur refund over 8k
-
just posting my timeline again:
1/28 – filed
1/28 – accepted 11 hrs later from filing
1/30 – around 10pm finally got a status on Where’s My Refund (WMR) with ‘Return Received’ (1 bar) & still processing
1/31 – ordered acct transcript but couldn’t order return transcript
2/6 – received acct transcript & 4464 c letter (dated 2/4) & has no code on it whatsoever. it had no action required. Where’s My Refund (WMR) still the same.
2/14 – wmr had no status bar but still the same msg w/return received.
2/16 – wmr still had no bar but msg changed to Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. i ordered another acct transcript to see if i get any codes because my transcript had nothing on it…it was blank w/a processing date of 2/18th. i still can’t order the return transcript. -
I filed 2/6 n I recieved a 4664c letter dated on 2/8 I wouldnt say Im a early.filer Im just pissed I want my money
-
dudeexcatly..we were all pulled for filing earely..bbut my internet software, and allkthe others ones, need to take some blame because they should not have sent them before 30th..mine said they would hold till then, so i filed on the24th..they sent it in right away and fucked us all….
they think its free money or they wsould be on it getting us money…they are a joke and they can do whatever they like..
next week i plan on calling 3 times a day everyday to let them know that theycan’t just sweep me uner the rug..it will be long waits..but if we all overload theirphones maybe they get the hint
-
lots of letters have the2/25 date
-
That’s the catch. That’s what’s unfair. We weren’t pulled due to suspiscious activity, we weren’t even pulled randomly. It wasnt even a few of us. It was 99% of early filers. We were pulled AUTOMATICALLY by a sensitive and faulty system that could have been worked out before hand. The IRS could acknowledge this and do something about it but they won’t. That’s what pisses me off.

Answers to Common Questions
Why was my return being reviewed?While most returns are accepted as filed, some are selected for examination. The IRS examines some federal tax returns to determine if income, expenses, and credits are being reported accurately. The IRS selects returns for examination using various methods which include random sampling, computerized screening, and comparison of information received by the IRS such as Forms W-2 and 1099. Having your return selected for examination does not suggest that you made an error or were dishonest.What if I did not file a tax return claiming the items you are questioning and someone else is using my name and social security number?Send us a completed and signed Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit. You can download this form online at www.irs.gov. You can also refer to the IRS Identity Theft resource page for more information.
Tips for next year
Review all of your income and withholding documents for completeness and review your return to make sure you are eligible to claim all income, credits and business income that you reported.

@chrisreal504… Weve all recieved different bs letters, mine said they didnt need any additional info and the irs also told me that there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with my refund… Kinda seems like as men we arent expected to have custody our kids and shouldnt be claiming children on our refunds… The bullshit is that my ex has a child with her bf and claims that kid with a different last name and same with a coiple other woman I know and they recieved thier refund already… No problem for me cause ny kids are registered in school under me, my names on all the birth certificate, I have court papers saying that I have full custody, and I recieve child support fot my kids so WTF is the problem…
-
I got a letter saying I have to prove head of household (I have been the only one to claim head of household for over 6 years at this address.I have to prove my kids live with me by sending in school records and doctor records (I have been the only one ever to claim my kids every year since they been born 4 and 7).And prove that I’m there Dad.Come on this is some BS. I can see if I never claimed them are if someone eles claimed them are it looked like fraud yea check but when they get on the phone and say yea I SEE YOU CLAIM THEM EVERY YEAR AND NO ONE ELSE CLAIM THEM IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT PICKED RAMDOMLY THEY NEEN TO CLEAR THE MONEY I NEED THIS MONEY FOR BILLS THAT ARE BACKED UP
-
I didnt know I was in review until I called to see wtf was taking so long and was informed that Id be recieving a letter that was sent out on 2/5… I have checked a few other forums and it seems to be a very popular thing this year…
-
So have anyone heard of anyone in review receive a review? Accepted 1/24
-
I think they send all the letters in batches.
We didn’t get a letter until a week after we were told we were in review. -
Sorry that was @Occulus
-
@2013taxpayer- The letters are postdated for the 18th to the 25th which is a bunch of shit but youll more than likely get it by the 25th… I hope that next week we all can say we have a dd…
-
After a couple calls to the IRS is finally told I was under review. The examination department and tax advocate confirmed it. No letters or codes in WMR, IRS2Go or Hotline. I did notice I had code 570 on my transcripts which I believe mean review.
-
Im so pissed I could blow a gasket… We dont deserve this bullshit!!! If they need proof of our kids then simply ask us questions instead of making us suffer… I truly believe that its just gonna get worse when it comes to helping hard working americans!!! Guess its time to quit the 9-5, get on welfare, get foodstamps, and get housing from the government cause it seems like the lazier you are the more the government cares and helps, they dont give a shit about the hard working tax paying middle class that actually TRY to provide for our family… SORRY, just all worked up cause I took a vacation from work based on tax season and promised my kids a “just for them” trip that I dont see happening now…
-
@Occulus – were u told on the ph u r under review and u will receive a letter soon? or did u have a error/ref code on the wmr/hotline?
-
@watchingnwaiting sorry, just read over your comment and saw you were told you were reviewed but it is all cleared. so, you have given us hope!!!
-
Got my transcripts today after a week and a half. Still no ‘under review’ letter.
-
@watchingnwaiting yeah, we were unfortunate to be under review so since you never got a notice or were told you were under review it didn’t help much. but thank you so much for sharing! hopefully we will get ours soon :). i’m glad u’re getting urs soon!!!
-
Sorry if this doesn’t help just hoping it eases the minds of some who are in the waiting game
-
Like many I was told different things (review-all clear) I had eic,self employed,ctc and child care. I left it alone for a few days and now have DDd of 2/21
Had the same when available message as many
Filed 2/5
-
Mine says processing date 2/25 as of 2/25 ???? Codes alot of diffrent ones like 811,810 846,766
-
@watchingnwaiting do you mean you actually got your money today? What day were you accepted?
-
@marissa 1975 my transcripts say:
Return due date or return recieved date (whichever is later) Apr. 15 .2013
Processing date Feb. 18, 2013But thats it, I can’t figure out what that means and I have searched. My transcripts are dated 2/5/13
The cp05 letter I just got is dated 2/25 and says they will be done with mine by April 11, 2013
-
Ok some have said they received their return transcripts and had a processing date on them.. Mine doesn’t say processing on them anywhere! IRS told me I’m done processing and my refund has been approved but the money has a hold on it!!!!
-
Well as of today, I was finally able to order my transcripts. Don’t know what it means but maybe I’m getting closer to a DDD.
-
Filed 2/4 accepted 2/6 recieved letter 4664c dated 2/8/13 Same dependents same filing status HOH
-

-

-
Just looking for hope. Thank you all. Accepted 1/24 still processing a dd will be etc. Etc. Etc.
-
I did talk to the examinations department as when I talked to refund holds department they said they did see a hold but not from them. I was transferred to another line where the guy said they were just going to verify some information that is stated on the 4464c letter. He did not know how long it would take though. The examinations department said it is not in their department as it is not finished processing yet even though I was able to order my account transcript on Thursday for the first time.
-
I still have the your tax return is being processed A refund date will be given when available. My 21st day is on the 19th so guess I will be talking with my advocate on Tuesday.
-
I was able to order my account transcript Thursday night at 11. Checked this morning and I still can’t order my return transcript and I still have reference code 9001. Smdh
-
“Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be given when available.” Thats all for me. Still can’t order transcripts, still no letters, nothing.
-
Any update for anyone under review?
-
it was for me but came up for me now. still the same for me….no status bar and
Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.Please Note:
For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.
-
I jist tried to log on to WMR and troed to call bit they are both down… Is this the case with anybody else?
-
@HollyD hopefully that is good news for ya!
-
@HollyD I hope thats good thing cause mines identical…. If you get any info please let me know and I will do the same
-
oh and the 152 code about the refund is now gone also…..
-
WMR finally states the amount of my refund. NEVER said the amount before on there. Tax period ending Dec 31, 2012 was the last thing on the left side now it shows my amount under that.

so……..
i don’t know what to make of this status. it finally changed to this tonight (no status bar shown on wmr either):
Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 152, Refund Information
Please Note:
For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day.
i don’t know if that’s much of a change hahaha. seems like the same status just worded differently :/ and no bar again. but still can’t order a return transcript.
-
Same here… Ive had my 8 year old for 7 yeqrs and my 7 year old since he was 3… Court ordered full custody… SMFH
-
Yes they are my own children 9 and 1.
-
Ok he generated a letter and said that we should get a phone call from the IRS on what they will need from us with in 3 work days (monday being a holiday) so we should here from them on or before Thursday. We shall see…….
He didn’t see anything that would make them select us for review. Especially since nothing changed from last year to this year and we have a simple return.
I asked about the April 11th date on the paper saying it would be done by then and he said some reviews wont be done until after that date :O what takes them so long? -
I am on hold. He said he is generating a letter to send over to the review department to try and speed things up.
-
@HollyD please let us know what it is he did… Maybe it will help us
-
On the phone with the tax advocate. He says he doesn’t see anything they could possibly be reviewing. Our return is the EXACT same as last year down to a T. The income amount is only $300 difference and the refund is only $198 difference…….
Now I am on hold while he does something. -
@etriantos do you claim your own children?
-
Okay to fix what I said previously. I got my letter today. Code CP75 tax year 2012 notice date February 18, 2013. It states: we’re auditing your 2012 form 1040A. We need us to send you information to support items you claimed on your tax return. We are holding the Earned Income Credit (EIC) and/or the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) portion(s) of your refund pending the results of the audit. Be sure to respond within 30 days from the date of this notice or we’ll disallow the item being audited, and you may owe additional tax.
Then it gives me a bunch of info on what I need for proof. Nothing has changed in the past few year which before that the only thing is a change of address 3 years ago. I just want this to be over and want my money but it looks like its going to be a while. Ugh!
-
I have still received no letter. I have been told I am in review but not what for, and wmr showing still processing with topic 152. I filed on the 30th. I think things will start looking up for a lot of us this next week I think the irs is just behind….a girl I work with said wmr TOLD her she was in review last year…she never called the irs or recieved a letter. 3 weeks later she had her refund.
I still got an advocate and sent her everything I needed to her today. (I assumed that would be the same information another poster on here was advised to send to their advocate…so I went ahead and sent it all to her even though we have never actually spoke I just missed her call yesterday and called her back and got her fax # from her vm.)
I really hope this works out for all of us soon!
-
Will edit that when I reach my destination
-
I got my I got my letter in the mail today tax yea tax year 2012 Februar February 18th 20 is t is the notice date and it states: we’re auditing your form. And it tells me a whole bunch of information on what I need to send them . This is a bunch of b******* nothing has changed for the past few years. Looks like mine is goingto be a while.
-
@Matthew I filed & got accepted the same day, on 1/28th. :(
-
UPDATE:** Just got off the phone with a tax advocate… They said that the irs has 45 days from the date the letter was SENT to get you your return and that the IRS is sending a LOT of these letters out this year (CPO5) cause they are backed up and they are buying time to catch up… He also said that he has seen them sent in 30 days from the date… He looked into my return and said there is NOTHING wrong (no red flag, no back taxes, no problem)… To all of you that are fed up with the bitchy rude reps that wont answer questions or even open your file then just call the advocate and they will take care of you, ease your mind, and be polite doing it… Heres the number 1(877)-777-4778
-
There has to be some kind of petition that us hard working tax payers can get going against this system of screwing us… Give the president something to read while hes on one of his $250,000 vacations!
-
Im on hold with the advocate right now also
-
@HollyD- same exact letter also!!! Im almost positive that its the goverments way to drag thier feet since theyd rather give all our money the 3rd world countries and countries were at war with.. Seems like they are sending this letter to everyone thats not going to get thier taxes on time, I was told by a repat the IRS that they HAVE to give us some kind of response within the 21 day period so that includes either getting our refund or getting a bullshit letter
-
excat same letter holly….called advocate..lets see. irs dosn’t care
-
Mail just came. There was a letter from the IRS it is a CP05 dated Feb 25.
Says “Our review will be completed by April 11, 2013.
Does everyone else have that date also? -
45 days from the date of the letter or 45 days from when they received the tax return? no one can give us a straight answer about that.
-
sO I FINAlly got my letter- CP05- extremly generic, says ineed to do nothing…
its dated for the 25th of feburary..Icalled, finally talked to someone about it…she said what don’t u understand do u need me to go over the letter..what a itch…
anyways i have to wait 45 days for eitheranother letter or anytime from here to april i could getmyreturn, Please tell me someone with this letter is getting through to these jokers..’
Now i’m finished..see u all in a week when i startwondering again….one good thing..I have never paid 1 cent in federaltaxes..set-up my w-4 that way..so FU IRS where’s my free money…
-
TT filed me early also. I think this whole thing is ridiculus. I understand the IRS trying to catch fraud but now that they know its become a gigantic problem to law-abiding citizens they should just release all the holds on early filers.
-
2013taxpayer, when were you accepted?
-
it looks like everyone else is doing better than i am lol. my wmr/hotline is still the same…still processing message w/the 1st bar filled. i guess i still should be grateful that i have no error/irs ref code on there, but i rather have one so i can google and see exactly what’s going on to make the process faster by sending in docs they need from me *sigh*. i still can’t order a return transcript. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! this is ridiculous!
-
Tell them u have a take action notice and want to know what’s that about they will open your return then I bet
-
I really don’t think there is aletter…we got flagged for filing early–even though itwas my tax softwares fault for sending it in early..
freetaxusa told us we could file the 17th and they will hold iot till the 30th..they couldn’t wait and sent them in as soon as they could..too many early filiers…if we would have all waited ti feb 1 or 2nd we would have had cash in 1 week..over a week ago
-
Ok so i made a final call, one last try…i just asked to find out about my 2012 return..
she said u have to wait 21 days from when u filed…she asked when that was
she was shocked when i told her the 25th…21 days today..she quickly changed to astory saying the irs site is down and they can’t look anything up until 21 days from the 30th…she pauses and comes back to tell me thats wednesday..
I told her i just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong..she said she understood, but she could only see what date it was accepted and thats it..
the first call i madeshe gave me a little more info..this lady never took my information..
30 mins wasted again..thatslike a total of 4 hours +..
I give up..i am letting go until wednesday..this hoping shit ain’t helping
-
Styx, I was just able to order a transcript. Accepted on 1/27 and Processing ever since.
I called previously and was told I wasn’t under review and they saw no problems.. Just unlucky in the Processing Lottery, so to speak.
Good Luck.
-
@styxparadise
That is the only thing I havn’t been able to really figure out. I’ve been told by three deparments I’m under review but I havn’t recieved a letter, codes or anything. I have seen people on here that filed way after me and all ready recieved their letters. I don’t know what to think
-
Well i’m not ready to base me being in review strickly on thoses phone operators..Nothing in any status does it say i’m in review..no letter, nothing only them telling me there is a hold but their not sure why
-
WTF..ok so i just called the phone # for transcripts..it let me order both..I wonder if it rejects people’s request, or did i really just order my transcripts again..
-
I honestly don’t think the 21 mark will help us, though I hope I’m wrong. I think now that we’re under review they can pretty much keep us in the dark for a few months. I’ve been told 30, 45, and 60 days.
-
Ok my stories been told, aznd chasnged, in this thread…What a mess..’
I have always thought i was a little differnt bbecausse i could order my transcripts on the 4th..
well today is day 11 and still havn’t got them in the mail..so i called- strickly based on that ?..She was a bit*H, told me i never past the test to get transcripts and that i could not order them then or now because i’m still processing..
Little back story..
accepted 26th..started to worry 4th..ordered transcripts-ok..
5th i called..told me i was all done but for some reason my return was being held..’
6th-12..called afeew times got a whole lot of differnt answers..
ID theft, missing a Tax form in my return, to my dependants might be a red flag ( same this is year 4, excact same)..12th, WMR changed to STILL processing, refund when avaiable..sounded good…still nothing..
Tomorrow is my 21 day mark..I really want to call again but i know they wont e able tohelp me..7800 return,3 dependants, 1 w-2…
-
I was just able to order transcripts both something I haven’t been able to do since I started this bull shit process hopes this means something and yes Iam under review tried ordering yesterday and got no luck I really want everyone here to rely on the word of God if he brought u to this mess he’s going to also bring you through it .
-
etriantos I dont see that message. Do you have the orange bar? But I can now order transcripts. I have never been able before.
-
Does anyone else see a message at the bottom of WMR saying it was last reviewed or updated Feb 11,2013?
-
Does anyone else see a message at the bottom of WMR saying it was last reviewed or updated Feb 11,2013?
-
My WMR has changed for the first time since the 31st to the A refund date will be provided when available message. So if it can change to that why would it not updat to inform all of us that we are under review. To be honest I am happy to see any type of change at this point.
-
Here’s my info so people don’t have to scroll back.
Filed 1/24
Thru TT
Accepted 1/27
WMR,IRS2GO and Hotline still all show processing never changed.
Ordered both transcripts about a week ago
Called IRS, 1st time…”no problems, its still just processing”
Called IRS, 2nd time, actually got someone to look up my info “You have been selected for review”
Called Holds Department….”We see no holds or anything on your refund, its just processing”
Called Examination Department….”We see it is under review but we have no idea why and it shows nothing that indicates it will come to our department. They might just look at it and see that you filed the same way for 6 years and just release it”
Called Tax Advocate….”Yes, we see its under review..we’ll start a case for you” Waiting to hear backSo thats my story. 1 dependent, filed the same way for 6 years, no letter, no codes, all the sites have not changed once this entire time
-
I got the dreaded under review letter (4464C) but WMR still gives me the 1 bar and still processing, 21 day msg (that’s never changed)
All of a sudden as of this morning I can order my transcript for the first time. Is this a positive sign? -
everyone keep everyone else updated! we are all in the same boat. confirming my financial hardship with documents to the tax advocate today. never received a letter just told i was in review. wmr still processing. filed the 30th. refund over 7k.
-
Ugh! Ordered my transcripts Wednesday around 12:20am still no DDD and spoke to every department imaginable yesterday who all confirmed my refund was finished processing and is now waiting on a date…trying to stay positive but this process makes it so hard and I still have the “you will receive refund when available” message with tax topic 152
-
@duece1911…Thanks for the number! It’s still not letting me. Maybe soon…lol
-
@Pretti_Ladii
Here is the number:
Order Transcripts (800) 908-9946
-
@duece1911…I actually have not called the number for transcripts…do u happen to have it? :-)
-
@duece1911….Please continue to update us because ur situation is very close to mine. My 21 day mark is the 20th…hope I get somewhere by then….
-
@Pretti_Ladii
Have you tried calling the transcript phone number? I know on the online transcript I kept getting that information but when I took out the “.” and “,” in the address I was typing it worked. The transcript phone number only ask for the number for the street address.
-
@2013taxpayer…I have not been able to order transcripts. It says
not the info they have on file. -
@Marrisa1975…
I do believe your theory personally that they are holding larger refunds in some cases for the maximum 21 days. My refund is over $8k same as last year (which I received in about 10-14 days in 2012). I was accepted on 25th but IRS says accepted on 1/28 and my status just changed to “Processing date will be given when available” for the first time this week I believe on Monday morning. I finally was able to order a return transcript this morning where I was not able to last night. I have talked to examinations department as recently as yesterday, hold department, have a tax advocate and no one sees my letter 4464c in the system or says I am in review. The letter is dated 2/1 and I don’t mention it in the beginning. I have had times when I asked them to go over my account.. no debt indicators, no flags, no holds, just processing. I then ask why letter 4464c then I get put on hold and some have asked me as of yesterday in examination department to read the letter to them which I find funny since it is their letter.
-
@marissa 1975 – Mine has always said Processing date will be given when available…..
We also orderd transcripts 2.4 came Monday had everything correct on them now we are just waiting and waiting >.< -
Filed 1/22
Accepted 1/26
Processing since 1/31
ordered transcripts 2/1 (both)
Called IRS three times was told everything look fine just processing /: finally was told I had a hold/freeze on refund (approved and processed) Wasn’t told why just to expect a 4464c letter! That was 2/13! I have been pissed because we file the same way every year except this year my husband made less money due to work being slow and missing a whole month while I was in the hospital to have our little girl (sever preeclampsia)! Well by him not working as much and with 3 dependents we were getting our largest refund EVER 9k+,,,,, BUT AS OF TODAY Where’s My Refund (WMR) has changes its message first time since 1/31! Processing date will be given when avalible!!!!! Please please please some one tell me does this mean they are going to real ease the money soon????? Examinations department couldn’t find any hard/master codes to tell us why it was frozen.. (I believe it had to do with us filing early and identity theft,, wanted us to wait 21 days just to make sure no one try’s to use same SS#) -
@Pretti_Ladii i still haven’t gotten a dd date yet. i also still can’t order my return transcript.
@deuce1911 so awesome for u!!!
-
I have been lurking this site all week & was surprised to find so many in the same boat as myself! Ugh!! Here goes:
Filed: 1/30/13 11:30am EST
Thru: TT
State: SC
Accepted: 1/30/13 4:11pm EST
Letter: 4464 dated 2/4/13 code is 0, do nothing it says
Calls to IRS: none
DD?: none yet
Refund size: $7k
Claimed: HOH, EIC, 2 Dep, no schoolOne thing that I haven’t seen from anyone is this: I began to check WMR about 30 minutes later & was showing up! I received email from TT that my return was accepted, so I went back to WMR and the orange bar was on approved!!! I said to myself, “Dang, they are moving fast as h3ll this year. I might have a DD in the morning.”!! It stayed that way until the following day sometime, but that night it was back to the first bar…accepted. I checked the mail on the 6th & there was the IRS letter dated 2/4/13. My WMR has stayed the same besides the times I get locked out & nothing populates for me. Has ANYONE who received LTR 4464 code 0 actually gotten a DD and/or ur money yet? :-(
-
I was just able to order an account transcript for the 1st time this morning. I was not able to all day yesterday. WMR is down but hopefully there will be a positive update when it comes back up.
-
@wheres my money – we ordered ours the 4th and they came Monday of this week, and still processing >.<
-
Has anybody else been able to order any transcripts?
-
I got the reference code 9001 last Friday and called and was told my tax return was under review. I wasn’t able to order an account or tax transcript with my new address either. They told me to wait 60 days and I received the 4464c in mail. I just checked the transcript hotline and was able to order an account transcript with my new address. Hopefully this means something good. I filed 2/2/2013 with HRB.
-
It was a CP05 and it said by April 11th… WMR and the hotline still say processing and I called the IRS twice today, the first time I asked about the letter and the rep said it could still come within the 21 days, the second time I called I just played stupid and said nothing about the letter- I asked if I had any offsets or any other issues and the lady looked up my return and said that its still processing with no offsets and said NOTHING about the review… I notice a lot of people that had a message on WMR about the review and letter but mine hasnt changed (except for it went from having the orange bar saying “PROCESSING”) to no orange bar saing ” Your refund is still being processed and a dd will be given when available”.
-
Vegas boii what kind of letter and how many days do they tell you to wait on it/?
-
My review letter states that I dont have to give any info at this time… Wtf is the point, kind of seems like the feds are looking for any excuse to lag on giving us our money… Has anybody recieved this letter this year and got thier refund back OR do you know of anybody that has??? I planned a vacation with my kids and got vacation time from work revolved around taxes and this is screwing it all ip
-
bigtimeny1 i know i have 3 kids. how messed up that we have to prove we lived with our own children during the year>? seriously?
-
My daughter is 3, this is the first year Ive claimed her because she lived with her mother the previous 2 years, how the hell would I show proof that she lived with me, there are no doctor bills no school records no anything wtf?
-
jmod87 thank you so much for the informative post! I missed my Advocate’s call today but I haven’t sent her anything yet it was the first contact attempt…I was able to get her fax number when I tried to call her back so tomorrow morning I am faxing her everything you said you had to fax to yours…to get the ball rolling. Thanks again. In the back of my mind I’m hoping we really don’t need any of this crap and I get a ddd tomorrow. I know I’m crazy…..hahahaha
I have received no letter.
WMR still showing as ‘STILL PROCESSING’ with topic 152….
The only reason I know I’m being reviewed is because I called a billion and two times. -
NEW INFO I called back and know I have to send proof that my kids live with me and I pay bill at my place.I am the only one to ever claim my kids one is 4 the other is 7 never had a problem before.They said I was ramdomly pick WHAT LUCK
-
I had 1 W-2 and the same 2 dependants Ive always had… I got a letyer today sayong I was under review and called, they said ot was to compare everything and that I dont have any offsets… I dont know wth is going on bit I say we hold the governments money from hitting thier bank accts until our money hots ours
-
Ok here’s my processing review story from hell…. Filed 1/17, accepted early on 1/24…. Started checking wmr on 1/30 said processing, allow 21 days. Starting 2/5 when I saw other people getting there deposits that filed after me I started calling IRS. Spoke with a different rep each day for 4 days, all looked up my acct and told me everything was fine and I was just processing… On 2/9 I called the tax advocate line and was told the same b.s. about processing and allow 21 days.. On the 10th I recieved a letter in the mail dated 2/1 stating I was under review and to wait 60 days and they will send me another letter if they need any additional info… So meanwhile I talked to 4 different reps and told everything was fine and i was just processing but in all reality I was already under review with a letter in the mail … So I am behind on my rent this month from losing my job and called the tax advocate line. They filed a case for me and assigned a tax advocate for me on Tuesday and told me that by Thursday I would recieve a call from my tax advocate. The next day I recieved a call from the rep , which was yesterday, and she informed me that in order to try to hurry any process along, she needed me to fax her my proof of hardship, my w2s and last three pays tubs for each w2. I faxed her everything today and she called me an hour later to confirm receiving it and told me she will have the proof submitted to IRS and find out what else they need but even with a tax advocate, the IRS still has up to 3 weeks to complete your case. So at least there is a little relief knowing that it can only be anther 3 weeks… As far as wmr, since 1/30 wmr, hotline and app have all shown processing with 21 days message. On 2/12 I was able to order both transcripts and status changed to still processing, date will be given when available…. But I know I’m still in review. So just to share some knowledge about my experience
-
@ thisizridiculous on 1/30 , you should have received an email from turbotax saying you can now track your refund with a link. Click on that link and enter your info. That is if you filed early. Otherwise not sure
-
Where do you even look at your status on Turbotax? Someone told me the other day but I couldn’t find it on mine.
-
TAKE ACTION UNDER REVIEW SMH.A LETTER WAS MAILED ON THE 1ST THATS STILL NOT HERE .NOW WMR SAYS NOTHING ABOUT A LETTER JUST UNDER REVIEW REF.CODE1242 CALL FOR MORE INFO SO I CALLED 2 TIME AND STILL NO INFO I THINK ALL THEY ARE DOING IS READING WMR.ARE BEST HOPE IS TO PRAY AND PUT IT IN GODS HANDS
-
Not necessarily 2/18 but a DD period.
-
Okay so just to update my info.. Filed 2/17 accepted 2/25 I was getting the 21 day message on WMR then on the 2nd it changed to Take Action your return is under review. IRS2go gives no reference code but same message. I received a partial refund ( for the federal portion of return) on Feb 5 just before 3 p.m. CST. I got an E-mail from Turbo Tax AFTER I received those funds telling me they will be available 2 days later. So far no letter in the mail and updates. Now obviously the IRS and the companies we filed through aren’t on the same page BUT anyone who used Turbo Tax is your status showing that you will receive your refund by 2/18?
-
My bar never disappeared nor did the message ever change prior to the ddd. It went straight from the original 1 bar and processing 21 day message to a ddd. I’m just trying not to get my hopes up or anything because until my refund is in my account I’m not going to count on anything.
So like a lot of people have suggested or straight out said I too wonder if the people answering our calls at the good ol IRS are not tellin us stuff just to get off the phone or reading off a script.
Oh and also on 2/13 when I got the ddd I first checked the irs2go app on my phone & it showed but when I checked wmr right after it showed still processing and didn’t change until later in the day but the app and hotline said the ddd. -
@kg thanks for sharing that sounds mighty similar to what’s going on with me. Was told I was under a review, on 02/11 my MWR status changed from 21 days to your refund is STILL being processed on 02/12 I was able to order return transcripts now I’m hoping I will get DDD soon. I called again today and spoke to every department imaginable and was told my return is indeed processed so now it’s a major waiting game thanks for giving us “under review” some hope :)
-
@kg00861 thank you for sharing!! hopefully we’ll get good news too.
-
KG00861, That’s exactly what happened to me. Identical, except I still can’t get a return transcript, and I have no DDD.
-
@kg00861…thanks for sharing….did your processing bar ever dissapear and did your status ever go to will provide direct deposit date when available message? Thanks in advance again sharing
-
Well I don’t know if this is much help or not but I will share my story. I filed on 1/29/13 and got an email saying I was accepted on 1/31/13. Wmr stayed on first bar and that I was still processing 21 days thing. I requested transcripts on 2/5 (trying to take out a loan but needed as much income info as possible due to self employment) & was only able to get account transcript. I claimed hoh, 1 reg w2, schedule c (no self employment deductions just the income),& 2 kids (my 9 year old & new baby).
I called 2 different times and was told everything was fine just still processing and that nobody is able to order transcripts of any kind for 2012 because they are not ready (I knew better than that because my boyfriend ordered both his 2/5 and got a ddd on 2/6 for 2/8). On Monday 2/11 I our thranscripts came in his were 2012 so the IRS is just saying the transcripts are not available but my acct transcripts said there was not a 2012 tax return filed. So I freaked and called irs again but called the number on the transcript for if there were any questions. The lady I spoke with said my return was there and the same spill about transcripts being unavailable but proceeded to tell me that my return was being delayed by 1 extra week. I asked why and she said because of the high volume of returns and that I was put into review but if they needed anything they would let me know just to keep checking and could take 4 weeks.
Just out of hopes I tried for the return transcript again and nothing but tried again later that night around 10 cst and was able to order it. Yesterday 2/13 I did get a ddd for 2/15 so I am in hopes it will be in my bank tomorrow but still trying to figure out why the last lady told me I was in review.
I just thought I would share my story in case anyone else has a similar situation maybe it could help. -
just checked, i got my bar back lol but still processing…no change in the message. i guess i should just be grateful i have no error/irs ref code, right? bleh.
-
@whitneyf 1242 is a “reserved” delay code. The IRS does not publicize the reason behind it. There are many possible reasons but the EIC seems to be a very common area. If you’ve claimed the EIC and there is anything questionable about the claim your refund will be delayed while the IRS investigates it.
that’s what i got from googling -
Update: 2/14 no other letter from the IRS as of today WMR still says your refund is still being processed a due date when available..
-
-
I found this interesting it is IRS watch blogs from Forbes last updated February 11, 2013.. http://blogs.forbes.com/irswatch/
-
Got this from IRS Return Preparer Office’s facebook :
The IRS today alerted taxpayers and the tax community it is experiencing high traffic on Where’s My Refund as more tax returns come in. The heavy volume of refund inquiries means that the IRS anticipates both “Where’s My Refund?” on IRS.gov and the refund feature on the IRS2go phone app will have limited availability during busier periods.
Due to the large number of inquiries and to avoid service disruptions, the IRS strongly urges taxpayers to only check on their refunds once a day. IRS systems are only updated once a day, usually overnight, and the same information is available whether on the internet, IRS2go smartphone app or on IRS toll-free lines. While “Where’s My Refund” is updated nightly, your account will not change that frequently.
The IRS is seeing a good start to the filing season, and tax refunds are being issued timely. Nine out of 10 taxpayers typically receive refunds in less than 21 days when they use e-file with direct deposit.
The IRS expects to see the number of tax returns — and related refund inquiries –steadily increase around the President’s Day holiday week.
Here are some tips to help taxpayers with their refund questions:
∙ Have the right tax information ready before using any of the IRS refund tools. This includes Social Security number, filing status and refund amount.
∙ You don’t need to check Where’s My Refund more than once a day as your information will not change.
∙ To avoid system delays, the best time to check on refunds is evening and weekends.
∙ There is no need to call the IRS about your refund; the telephone service has the same information that is available on Where’s My Refund. -
@thisizridiculous: never heard its good luck if the status bar disappears thats a new one.
Although I know several of us never had a bar to start with so it’s no help LOL
-
@thisizridiculous don’t know if that’s true cos i still can’t order my return transcript but then i’ve seen a few not too many getting their refund but couldn’t order their transcript. have u guys seen this? the tax refunds may be delayed http://video.msnbc.msn.com/jansing-and-co/50397839#50397839

no change for me today… still receiving the direct deposit date will be given when available and no bars which happened on Monday morning. Just processing… I talked to someone again at the Boston office of Examinations and she said she could not find anything in the examinations department at least on the screens she reviewed. Just have to continue to wait.. 21 days will be up on the 18th/19th. Hope to have a better update by then.
-
I now despise the word PROCESSING!!!!
-
I still can’t order a return transcript, and wmr still says I’m processing. I have not gotten a letter yet, and all the irs told me last week was that I’m under review, but only for 7 more days. Today would be the last day. I have tried to call this week, and was given the “no one can see your return until 21 days have passed” crap. IRS to go used to say they had received my return, but now it says my refund is being processed. Anyone care to shed some light on that?
-
@2013taxpayer. I’ve heard thats good news if the status bar dissappears. God only knows at this point but hopefully you’ll have your $$ soon!
-
so…..only one diff on my wmr this morning lol. no staus bar but still same msg haha. oh boy!
-
I filed in jan. got accepted on the 30 went under review on the 2nd and said to take action and a letter would be on the way asking for more info.I’ve been calling the irs and everybody tells me something different but the same thing LOL we don’t know wait for the letter some say the letter is asking for something but they don’t know what and others say the letter is just telling me I went under review and they might need more info so I checked wheres my refund and it changed to under review again but it says nothing about a letter and says for more info call 1800-829-0582 and give them the ref.#1242 so I call and they tell me the same thing I was told on the 2nd.Wait for a letter that may or may not ask for something.smh

@ Marissa.1975
I am so sorry you are having to deal with this like the rest of us. No one deserves to lose their home. I know, I’ve been there and now my family and I are having to live with my mom after losing our home. As far as the tax advocate goes, the people I have talked to that haven gotten help from them have just explained that not having the refund is causing great financial hardship. Maybe if you said that and left out the part about your house, they might be more willing to help you. Crazy that they want proof from the people who need it most but a fair share of folks are just calling and straight out lying or exaggerating way beyond whats real.
I really hope you get the answers you need, and soon. The IRS is just playing games this year and none of it makes any kind of sense. For what its worth, I don’t think you are *really* in review. From what I have read here and on other boards, everything is just all screwed up. It doesn’t make any kind of sense that ALL these people are in review. We can’t all look like liars and theives. My heart goes out to you and please update us if you hear anything.
-
Same thing, I filed 1/24th, accepted on 1/27th. To make a long story short. The first IRS rep told me nothing was wrong. WMR and IRS2Go both said processing with no code. Never got a letter. The holds department told me everything was fine, the examination department told me they saw it was under review but there was nothing indicating why it was under review nor nothing indicating it would come to that department. She said it was more than likely my depedent. She said they could ask for more information or they could just notice that I have filed the same way for six years and release it from review.
@styxparadise That would explain why I cant find anything on it either. Once again the IRS should have better planned this before this huge mess up. Now they should just release all these holds since its more of faulty program than actual fraud.
-
i too am a master googler…nothing on this because its NEW…noone haS really gone through this…there isno way its a review because this would be unprofessional….
-
Ok boyfriend got DD today of the federal he overpaid. Still waiting on letter to resolve EIC refund issue which is $7k.
-
Ok so after reading in the forum about reviews this is what I’m coming up with because the IRS is no help!!!
Filed 1/22
Accepted 1/26
Processing since 1/31
ordered transcripts 2/1 (both)
Called IRS three times was told everything look fine just still processing /:
Knew something was wronge seeing as how my brother I law filed last week and received his today!!!
Called and spoke with a very nice lady. She told me my refund had been aproved but had a he on it. So she transferred me to the holds department and from their I was told they didn’t see anything! Was transferred back to customer service and hung up on. Called back this time straight to the holds department.. The lady I spoke with was really short with me. She stated my refund amount and that it had a hold she wouldn’t tell me why just that I should be receiving a 4464c letter then hung up on me! So I called the tax advocate line and I’m not afraid to say why! ( 4 months behind on mortgage )
Was told unless we recieve a letter saying our home will be foreclosed on they can’t help:’(
She did tell me that my 4464c letter hasn’t been sent out yet (they send them out in batches)
After doing some research I do believe our refund is being held be quad of the amount +9k the largest it’s ever been because my husbands work was slow this year. Which is the reason we are behind on our house but also the reason for the larger refund (different tax bracket)
I guess all I can do is just wait and see what’s going to happen! BUT Where’s My Refund (WMR) is still showing processing with 21 day message! It has never changed to under review take action or anything! It’s just strange.. -
I have an advocate but I missed her call ill b calling her back early
-
Anyone here made any progress through a tax advocate or anything?
-
i got a 4464 c letter. @thisizridiculous – i will take a look at that sample letter to see as well, thanks for finding that!!
-
Me too…had to call about a million times.
-
I had to call to find out i was in review
-
Im under review and I didn’t get a letter, code or anything.
-
@HollyD
I received the letter 4464c but on the WMR and the IRS hotline, its still saying that my return is processing and I should receive it within 21 days. It has never changed from that since I filed and was accepted on the 30th. So I don’t know what’s going on.
-
I just saw something interesting on the IRS website, for those of us tha have received a letter (4464c). I’ve looked at this 3 or 4 times trying to understand it/why/where the **** my refund is.
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Understanding-Your-CP05-Notice
Anyway, down at the bottom it shows an example of the CP05 letter that some of us got. If you look closely at the example, it looks a lot different from the one that I received (and yours is prob the same as mine) For one, mine certainly doesn’t say “We are holding your refund until we are finished reviewing your tax return.” And in the notes it says yours make look different because each letter is tailored to the individual. There is nothing “tailored” about my letter. It says my, name and SSN at the top, but from there down, its the same as everyone elses.
I’m just trying to prove the thought that this very well may have been a glitch that gave us all these letters. I may be grasping at straws, but with so much horrible speculation going on I’m just going crazy over here.
-
Me too….so depressed.
-
@AshleyMT I agree. I have not received a letter to date. I have googled this a million times, and all I can come up with are people talking about a “glitch” with the early filers, and many people received letters, but they were basic form letters, no reference codes, nothing.
I know I have not done anything wrong…same return as the last 10 yrs at least. HOH, 2 dep, EIC, CTC, Sch C along with a small W2 from a weekend job…I made about 200.00 more this year total than last year, my refund is 140.00 more than last year.
A lot of us under “reveiew” have had the same returns the last few years. Just doesn’t make sense. My 21 days is over on the 18th. On the 19th, I hpoe to get some info.
-
I don’t know what to think….I want to believe this thing is going to sort itself out in the next couple weeks MAXIMUM but I know that’s pretty unrealistic. I work with a girl that said she was ‘reviewed’ last year and she said she never had to send anything in and that she got her return 3 weeks after she found out she was in review. I REALLY wish we had more people on here that have been through this and could offer advice. I am a huge googler and this has been pretty hard to research. The evidence of others having been through this is there, but the info on the outcome/timeframe is nonexistent. So frustrating!
-
I filed and was accepted the 30th. Same return I have filed for years. I have been stuck in processing purgatory since the 30th. I finally broke down and called last week, and was told I was being reviewed, and I would only be put behind a week, and if I didn’t hear anything, to call and make an application with the taxpayer advocate. I ordered an account transcript on the 5th. I received that Saturday. It says the processing date is the 18th, and that I have not filed a return for the tax year of 2012. So I call…I need some sort of proof of filing for my divorce, and this wasn’t going to cut it. So I call, and was told that MOST people who filed in the very beginning were re-sequenced to the 7th, and if WMR says I’m processing, then “by golly” I’m processing.
So, as per the IRS rep’s instruction, I call again, to the taxpayer advocate line. I tell them what I was told. Ms. Francis told me that NO ONE at the IRS can look up anyone’s account before the 21 days is over, and no, she can’t confirm if I was accepted the 30th or the 7th, because 21 days has not passed.
Back to square one.
-
@Occulus That’s quite possible, although it’s been hinted that my new child has drawn a flag since it’s a new SSN in the system. Although that’s pretty silly since I didn’t have that issue when my first 2 kids were born. Only thing rose I did differently this year was having additional withholdings taken out.
-
I really believe that the reason that so many are under review is because of the new fraud software programs. If you filed early and especially if you filed early with dependents then you were automatically flagged for review instead of randomly selected. Instead of acknowledging the glitch and doing something about it the IRS is just acting like they were, in fact, legitmate flags.
@AshleyMT
They told me that it could be a long process also. I think this is ridiculus. I bet 99% of us under review have filed the same way for years and are most certainly not tax frauds. Once again regular people get the boot trying to catch criminals.
-
I talked to the examination department too. You can be in review under different departments for different things and examination is just one department. Mine is being held for review in a unknown department to everyone I have talked to. The last guy I talked to said sometimes they hold them back for review and then later decide they don’t need to actually review it and release the refund. He also said they may or may not need additional information from me to confirm what I have on my tax return. He said that the people that are held for review are sent letters in batches, and sometimes it can take a while to get a letter. He saw that I already have an application in with the tax advocates for an expedited return and said that was a smart move on my part…that they can help me figure out what is going on with my return etc. etc. until the issue is resolved. Although he gave me hope about having my review be released, he also said that depending on any information they might request from me to verify that it can become a very lengthy process….as in months. I don’t know what to think. I have 3 dependents (all mine) and eic. That;s it. One w2. Looking forward to keeping in touch with everyone on here and getting some support through the process. Good luck to all of us!
-
I always thought it gave a code on WMR or the hotline if you were under review?
-
My question is..If we are truly under review, shouldn’t it be updating that information on WMR or the IRS hotline? Frankly, I have never seen this many taxpayers under review EVER. This has to be a glitch of some sort.
-
Duece,
I called the Examination department and they told me the kinda the same thing. It was NOT showing in her department, did NOT show anything that would make it come to her department. So she did not know why it was in review. However the difference was she told me that she COULD see that it was in review. She did not know why I didnt get a letter or a code. She theorized that it was because of my dependant. She told me that it could take 30 days to resovle and that they may ask for more information. On the other hand she said they might just look at the fact that I’ve filed the exact same way for the last six years and release without a letter or ever asking for more information. I think they should just release all these early filers that are under review before they start on the 8863rs.
-
Another update: I just called the Examination department which is the department she said the return would come to if it is being reviewed. She said my return was not in the department and she did not see anything showing it is coming to her department and she did not see anything wrong either. I told her about the letter and she said she knew returns are backed up and maybe that is why the letter was generated but as of now my return is not in their area. I am really confused now and I will just wait until the 21 day window expires.
-
@thisizridiculous
Same here. I filed and was accepted 01/30/13. My update on WMR and the hotline has been the constant 21 days processing and hasn’t changed. This past Saturday, I received the 4464c letter with a 0 code on it. You would think if you are actually under review they would put that on the WMR site or on the IRS hotline. I don’t know though. It is my understanding that most people who got the letter was a computer glitch. I sure hope that’s the case.
-
Ok so I filed 1/31, accepted same day and its been in pending status ever since. 21 days….blah blah…tax topic 152, etc. I just got a letter 2 days ago (4464c) saying my return is in review, we will contact you if we need more info, wait 60 days, etc. But still when I check WMR, IRS2GO or the hotline, it says we have received your return and it is being processed.
I REALLY want to know if I’m really under review, if its just a glitch, if its just a form letter sent to everyone that has EIC or dependents or whatever. This sucks! Worst tax season EVER.
My stats are refund $8000, EIC, 2 dependents (these are new for this year) no education credits, no schedule C, no 1099
-
2013taxpayer I guess we have to wait and just see but I do find it interesting that if you don’t mention the letter they don’t mention it either. I will just hope for the best but thank you for sharing.
-
called again & told no holds, flags or under review. i didn’t mention the letter either. they’re showing it’s processing. wmr is unavailable for me right now too.
-
I really think this new fraud system automatically flagged everyone that filed early for a review. I’ve file the same way with the same information for 6 years. They should just realase those now that the education credits are starting to process today, that’s just going to clog up the system even more. I have this sinking feeling that those of us under review are going to have to wait till the end of the tax season before we get anything. I havn’t talked to anyone that was put under review and is now out. I called the Tax Advocate yesterday and got a case open but I havn’t talked to the agent in charge, they are suppose to call me back before Friday to take the case to the IRS for expiditied process.
-
By the way I still can’t order transcripts yet so I am not done processing I suppose.
-
Well I called the holds department and acted as if I just wanted to know the status of the return. He looked through the return and he said everything looks totally fine, no holds, no flags, etc just processing. Said they are overwhelmed with returns right now and possible could go past 21 days but I was accepted on 28th so 21st day would be 18th. I never mentioned the letter to see if the system showed anything and he said he saw nothing wrong with the return and the processing of it. I asked if the 21 days message dissapearing and the your return is processing is a good sign and he verified it was a good change in status update. SMH I don’t know what to believe or maybe the review could be over? Let’s just try to keep each other updated the best we can even though we all have different situations we do however have one thing is common in that we have been told we are in review or received a CP05 letter or in my case a 4464c letter.
-
Filed 1/24, accepted 1/27….ordered transcripts 5 days ago. Called IRS yesterday and they told me I was under review. I never got a letter or code. Told me it could be up to 45 days. Has anyone that was under review got through the whole process yet?
-
I have been on the phone with the irs pretty much for the majority of the lsat 2 days. I filed on the 17th, accepted the 30th, and been in processing hell ever since. No letter or anything. I talked to multiple people, some told me I was fine, others told me there was some mysterious ‘hold’ on my refund. Finally a lady today told me I am being reviewed, she said nothing about having a letter being sent at all, and said to wait up to 60 days from today for anything to happen and that the irs is just checking out the information on my refund. (hoh, 3 dependents, same everything as last year). I spoke to an advocate today that put in an application for me to have my return expedited because of financial hardship. (I won’t go into the hairy details but there is financial hardship I assure you)…Looking for help and hope, anything to keep me going. I don’t know whether to call back tomorrow to see if there are any new developments or to just try and forget about all this for a couple weeks. (as if that’s even possible!) Please guys, ANYTHING! Thanks.
-
Did you know you were in review before you called the tax advocate? Some of this don’t make sense to me at all. There are thousands of divorces every year. Are they seriously going to flag anyone who gets a divorce and has dependents, when there status changes? That is such bullshit.
-
I filed 1/31. Pulled for a review on the 1st. I called and talked to a tax advocate yesterday. I files as HOH this year so this was an automatic red flag.
HOH, EIC AND CTC
I have filed married jointly for the last 9 years. Same dependents as last 6 years.
I guess the IRS now has to verify that I qualify for HOH.
could be another 4 weeks. Bummer -
I’m affraid to call-they can be so mean and irritable..
I just know dd are coming for the 15th for all of us..
-
i dont think the phone monkeys at the irs no anymore at this point then we do… they have a script that they have to say and thats what they go by
-
I agree with you also Matthew and Trob… this is confusing and I find it funny the 2 times I called asked generic questions.. 0 debt indicators, 0 flags, no holds, everything is processing fine… I then say well why did I receive a 4464c letter… hold on please sir… then they come back with something. They should be able to inform me if I am really under review. I should not be informing them. Other people have received messages on WMR stating a review where I just always had the 21 day message until this morning when A refund date will be provided when available.
-
@Matthew, I agree that they just want to get you off the phone. How else can you explain the reps telling me every time I call there is nothing wrong its still processing, blah blah WMR is correct until I tell them that a rep last week told me I was under review. Then they say, oh, ok, I see the letter was mailed out give it 45 days. What, they couldn’t see it before? I’m not sure if I even am under review or if the letter is just a computer generated letter from a glitch in the system. If WMR is correct like the reps claim why doesn’t WMR say I’m under review? They can’t answer that. Or tell me why I’m under review. Sorry, just venting lol
-
I really hope so this has went far past ridiculous… seem like last week they had a major update for a lot of people on Wed… I hope it is for us too…
-
excatly..But u Gotta Believe
-
Btw, if you had to put, say, a percentage on it, how much do you believe in what an actual IRS Agent is telling you on the telephone? The delay excuses, etc…, seem to mostly be a bunch of standard responses to appease folks calling in and get them off of the phone as quickly as possible.
-
Well Word is this change is good.
someone talked to IRS rep and they said when that message appears no reviews or questions are there..Maye this is over—god i hope -
your return is still being processed… a refund date will be provided when available….lol no DD yet sorry for the delay I didnt think it posted cause I got an error afterwards (on here not the site) I am going to check the mail in as soon as i finish my homework.. ill be off n on
-
what did it change too..i believe its comming soon
-
At this point I think we all are confused…My refund status also changed yday and still has not said anything about a review (Thank goodness) I guess we really wont know anything till the WMR updates
-
i feel the same way jkjluv! not sure what to believe…my letter or the wrm/hotline. called rep & not much help either. just told they see no holds, just processing…ugh!!!
-
i am suppose to get a letter too holly..shoulld have gotton by now…gotta see it..a smart guy on here reallybelieves in problems withchild tax credits…i hope this ends soon..
my feet hurt from walking everywhere..funny instead of fixing my POS car when it broke 2 weeks ago i junked it–wish i never did that because its been hard.. -
@etrianos No need to be rude…obviously everyone joined this forum for 1 reason or the other either their status said “under review” or they got a letter which stated under review or were told under review everyone is updating as they find out information we are by no means the IRS so if you want answers you need to call as we have been doing and then update us as well
-
I was told by a rep I am under review, still no letter, and WMR doesn’t give a code just that its still processing…..
-
I am still processing…so confusing! Are we under review are not. Do I believe WMR or the letter?? So many questions and NO ANSWERS!!
-
etriantos…
We arn’t sure whats going on…
-
Is this thread about people in processing or under review? When I joined it was about people who were getting a take action under review message and now that people have confused the 2 I’m not getting any useful information. Has anyone with the take action notice seen a change yet?

After 2 weeks i changed from one orange bar processing give it 21 days to.
ur refund is still being processed, date when availiable. no orange bar….
mix feelings but i think its good.
ordered transcripts 4th..
-
I just got off the phone with a person from the IRS (Called and put in Ext. 362). Was on hold for about 20 minutes but got a live person.
She went through everything on my return and my account.. My 2012 return isn’t in the errors department or under review. It is still processing. She stated that they are having a lot of computer problems and it could be right at the full 21 days (which She stated started on 1/30 in my case) or possibly even a slight delay of up to one week after that to get my refund.
She went through my account thoroughly.. No offsets, no issues from prior years tax filings, my 2012 return is pretty basic.
She stated that I was one of the unlucky ones who filed early, began processing on January 30th, did nothing wrong, but are just having to wait longer than many others.
The main thing I took from this call was that we are in a state of limbo, as I’ve read mentioned before. It was good to hear that I wasn’t being reviewed or had made any errors, though it is comical that I may not get my refund until after some who may be in those situations.
That’s it for now. Best of luck to all of You!
-
I am not able to order a return transcript just the account which came up blank but has some date of 2/18/13 which is the end of my 21 days.
-
Still processing this morning with the 21 day message. That makes me wonder if those of us that still have the processing message are really “under review” or if we are just stuck in limbo somewhere since some people actually have a review message on WMR! That letter CP05 seems like a generic letter to give them more time to process since it doesn’t have an actual code on it.
-
That is weird some of us can order transcripts and some can’t……
I know I am tired of getting the “your refund is still processing” message >.< -
Got the same as some of you: Your refund is STILL processing, a date will be provided. Not the best of news, but a change anyways. I think if we were under some kind of hardcore review, it would indicate that. Still can’t order the return transcript, though I’m not sure that really means anything.
-
duece and Matthew I’m right there with you guys. I’m hoping too. In fact my husband just left for a month to work in Florida because we are in such limbo. We couldn’t take the chance that we might not have our refund by the end of this month. If I had my refund my husband would still be here. I’m so sick of living paycheck to paycheck but I’m even sicker my husband had to go so far away to find work.
-
still processing…no change whatsoever :(
-
duece1911, hopefully there is something positive to that, I truly mean that.
Accepted around the same time and have received the same 21-day message over and over and over…. I also cannot order a Transcript and have no Offsets per the automated numbers for those.
Here’s to a positive outcome soon.
-
My status finally changed to something different… WRM can’t find me … guess locked out even though I have not been in the system this morning.. and my status on hotline changed from the 21 days jargon to Your return is being processed and I will have a date when it is available. Hope this is progress as I have gotten the same 21 day jargon ever since I was accepted back on the 25th.
-
Wow did i just learn a lot..
Every year i claim my girlfrien as a dependant..never a problem..
i messed up this year kinda..she worked 1500$..so thats why I have the child tax credit for in my return..that sucks..so sure this is my problem..
The KICKER:
i did my same return under another name-strickly for numbber purposes-my refund would hsave been excatly the same without my girlfriend as my dependant, and i would have had my money a week ago.
I work at tacobell as the manager, dont make much, hard as hell with twins and a 6 year old. kinda need that 8k -
Dude thats wierd when you look at it..
I have same everything from last yearas this year on my taxes..Last year i didn’t have the 8812 form because i guess i don’t quifily for child tax credits..
this year i have the form in my return, but its not filled out, only the bottom which is the addiotional tax credits..here’s a thought..last year i had a seperate form for additional child tax credits..this year its one for and the questions for the top portion are not being answered..
Bingo either way necause my return dosn’t look right, soo now i’m a little excited to have a reason,:), here’s to hoping
-
So i just checked WMR and I have a new message “Your return is still being processed a refund date will be provided blah blah blah” Went and tried to order my return transcripts and it went through…here’s hoping for a DDD soon…I will keep everyone posted and as always I ask that you do the same. Goodnight!
-
Has anyone had any luck with a tax advocate? I tried calling them today, the woman answered and I told her my story and she said she’d transfer me to someone who could help me but then transferred me right back to the IRS customer service number!
-
I didnt qualify for the child tax credit but I did qualify for the ADDITIONAL child tax credit
-
I don’t know I’m confused all the way around I just hope that’s it or something else that should be an easy fix. Thank you for the info I think I will attempt to research it and if I find something I will post it.
-
SORRY I THINK I GOT THAT MIXED UP THEY SHOULD BE BLANK BUT IM NOT SURE
-
Thank you soo much for this post. I checked mine and sure enough they were all blank so I assume that is the problem. But one thing I couldn’t figure out (could be it didn’t really say or I missed it due to having a 7 month old with pneumonia and rsv so I am very tired) but what happens now or do you know? Will they fix it or reject and I submit again? But thanks again!!
-
Ok I think I found the problem, read this i copied it, look at your child tax credit form 8812, In part one you have 4 boxes a b c and d. There should be a x on yes or no on all 4, if yours are blank thats the problem,
Subject: Schedule 8812, Child Tax Credit Attached to Form 1040 or Form 1040A ________________________________________ We have observed instances in which the Schedule 8812 is attached to form 1040 and 1040A and is not filled out correctly. These instances are causing downstream processing delays. We have experienced the following two conditions: (1) The Schedule 8812 Part 1 checkboxes A, B, C, and D are checked when taxpayers list a dependent child with an SSN qualifying for child tax credit and (2) The Schedule 8812 Part 1 checkboxes A, B, C, and D not being checked when taxpayers have a child with an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) on Form 1040 and 1040A line 6c identified as qualifying for the child tax credit in column 4. The Schedule 8812 instructions direct the taxpayer to: “Use Part I of Schedule 8812 to document that any child for whom you entered an ITIN on Form 1040, line 6c; Form 1040A, line 6c; or Form 1040NR, line 7c; and for whom you also checked the box in column 4 of that line, is a resident of the United States because the child meets the substantial presence test and is not otherwise treated as a nonresident alien.” We are working to implement Business Rules to reject these incorrectly completed returns with a date to be determined.

the irs says identity theft and wait for my letter…how long does this review take?
-
@FNR that is like music to my ears!!! But I also would like to read it myself, if you could post the link that would be lovely.
@Squidney actually most of our WMR say the 21 processing but we have received a code less letter stating otherwise
-
@impatientlyawaiting mine isn’t blank, everything on it is filled out just like we have it in our records.
I just don’t understand why it lists our processing date as 2/18 -
My account transcript is dated Feb 18th as well…..anyone else get theirs? I needed proof of filing on IRS letterhead, but this is useless. It says I have not filed, is all zeros, and dated the 18th.
-
@fnr0420 i hope so! mine still says processing and no code yet. i keep reading my letter from irs loke it’s gonna tell me something new hahahaha
-
FNR0420 where did you get that info? Not saying your making it up, but Id like to see it for myself. I herd so many rummors its giving me a headache lol
-
@fnr0420 …that’s all good news, but seems like it will only affect those with WMR status of “still processing” without any update. The main issue here is the vast number of filers with a status of “Under Review” with no discernable reasons, or even confirmation of an actual review. Are we affected by any crash or glitch? Were we resequenced? What’s really going on with our returns? That’s what we want to know.
-
I found this on H&R block **************Ok this is my thought on the matter. Mine was sent to errors as well. I filed on 1/30 when the huge infux of people caused the system to crash.. they are doing a rebuild tonight on the MEF (Modernized E File) system. There were multiple errors caused because they had originally planned to have 2 schemas going to support 2 versions, however, they decided at the last minute to only use 1 schema. I don’t think a lot of the companies were prepared for that, and the software was not tested enough so anything that was sent before the 31st was automatically sent to errors because of the schema issue. They issued a tax alert Friday saying they have fixed the schema issue and it will go into effect on 2/11 (which is today).. I can bet you that there are going to be a lot of people getting Deposit Dates because they’ve found the fix.
-
Filed 1/26
Tt said accepted 1/28
Irs today said 1/30
Still processing 21 day message so called the holds department they said I called the wrong department told me to call 18008291040 I asked if there were any issues dont wanna call and hold for nothing she said there are issues call that number after holding for 20 mins a lady came on and got her to open my account she said she didnt see any issues if there is or more info needed they would send me a letter to wait the 21 days its normal processing and still no change call back. So I have been in 21 day processing hell since day one no letters or updates but received my state on the 8th????? -
Both my transcripts came today but still no letter……
The transcripts are dated 2/5
My question is why does it say processing date: Feb. 18, 2013 -
Ok so guess this may be a good place to try and figure out what’s going on with my personal return.
I filed on 01/29 and accepted on 01/31 shows still processing should receive refund in 21 days with topic 152 (the one about direct deposit). I filed hoh 1 regular w-2, a schedule c self employment but no deductions or anything for the self employment and it was only for like 7500 I made from side work, and 2 dependents my 9 year old son and baby that was born this past June.
I called last week and was just told everything looked fine by two different reps at IRS but I called this afternoon and the rep (who was very nice) said that do to high volume of returns I was delayed by a week and that I had been flagged for review so instead of 3 weeks it would take 4 from when I filed. I asked about a notice Nd she said that they would contact me if they needed anything from me. She also said that as soon as info was available it would update to keep checking either the wmr site or hotline. I saw someone else post about having a new baby and being flagged for review as well. Does anyone know if maybe that maybe the issue is just the new dependent? She didn’t say just said review and delayed by 1 week.
Also I was able to order account transcripts but not return (I need them for a loan I have been trying to get and getting the runaround about because of the self employment). -
@kay…yeah, some good news, but still frustrating. Over the last 6 years, I’ve had to deal with this 3 times now, and usually didn’t get my return until June. If it’s not EIC eligibility, it’s Federal Ed Fund payments ($9.00 delayed a return for 3 months), or “we need time to double check the additional withholdings that we took from you to make sure that we don’t give you a cent extra back, ” or education credits, or Identity Theft “precautions.” What a ****ing mess.
Meanwhile, someone I know, that actually committed EIC fraud by claiming his friend’s 2 kids got his return in 9 days. Go figure.
-
my orange bar is gone completely lol hoping we at least get a DD by WED…fingers crossed… i saw on yahoo answers some people got the message I got then the next day had a DD Lord I hope so
-
No not any updates yet Still Have first orange bar and WMR 800 still processing So i guess that would be a good thing would you think
-
@squidney2k1… seems like its bitter sweet at least you are getting some of your return… the eic part will come later…at the best part you finally have a date… glad to see some better news today…
-
no but I did get an update on WMR today went from the normal wait 21 days to still processing and a refund date will be provided when available… check the mail no new letters or account transcripts… hoping that’s a good sign… what about you any updates?????
-
UPDATE: I contacted the Holds department this morning, and I was told that my refund is not on hold, but is in fact under review. Transferred again. They told me that part of my return has now been dated for DD on 2/13, but the rest would come “at a later date.” They said I would receive a letter, but no letter had yet been generated, so there is no code yet.
The nice lady on the phone was pretty helpful and said that a dependent had been “flagged.” Most likely since it was a child born last year, it affects the EIC status, and their system will not even attempt to automatically verify a relationship (my kid is less than 6 months old). Therefore I MAY receive a request for information, which would be birth certs, SSCs, etc. etc….but the bad news? She said that most likely it won’t get looked at for 45-60 days due to the volume. She didn’t say whether or not they were going to do this, but that it’s “up to the reviewer that it’s assigned to, and totally their discretion if they want to pull it or not.”
So essentially, they’re holding the EIC portion of the return, but she did say that my refund from the additional withholdings, would be released. Funny how the state of CA asks no questions about my kid, but the IRS “automatically” flags it. So frustrating.
-
filed 1/25 accepted 1/27 got cp05 2/4. wmr still says 21 days processing. cant order return transcript. Basically in limbo wtf.
-
So kay Kay me an you were in the same boat saturday did you call irs today ?
-
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Understanding-Your-IRS-Notice-or-Letter…. links to letters and codes
-
http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Understanding-Your-CP05-Notice… this is for the people that either called and got the CP05 or got a letter with the CP05….
-
Called the 800-829-0922 number. The guy didn’t even want to look at my file, said if WMR says processing then that’s what it’s doing. I told him I know I have a hold, can you tell my why? So he looked it up, said a letter CP05 was mailed. That’s all he would say.
So I called the tax advocate line, told the lady that WMR says processing, some reps say I’m being reviewed, some say I’m not, hold dept says I’m not being held. Asked if she could help me so she says hold on I’ll get someone. I was on hold for 15 min and then a regular IRS rep come on the phone! She transferred me back to them!!
That rep said the CP05 letter was mailed on the 7th, I have to wait 45 BUSINESS days from the 7th to possibly have my refund released. If they need more info they will mail out another letter, and then the 45 days starts all over again from that date!
I am so annoyed, why can’t they just review it and give me my money? WTF -
processing and under review
-
I leave with this..
I talked to a nice lady who told me this..
If Where’s my Refund Status says its process, 21 days b.s. then ur ok…you don’t want it to say anything else-except approved of course-
if we are all in some IRS game to extend their deadlines or whatever atleast know that were going to surive..
My buddies favorite saying- and itshelp methese last 2 weeks..
“YOU GOTTA BELIEVE” -
my bbuddy claimed a dependant that has nbeen filed previous yuears with differnt people, yes its bad and i don’t agree but…, got his return in 8 days from when we electronically signed it.dd was 13 got saturday the 9th
-
my only difference is my income was more..and this was my first time in 3 returns i did not get the education credits.( umm school ends right, and so do the credits.) i do have a differnt address, but i move a lot and my last 3returns were differnt addresses..same 4 dependants3 years running.
-
i claimed both of my children this year
-
thats what i was mailed out
have you claimed a dependant that you didnt claim last year or that someone else claimed last year or do anything different this year filing wise? -
O i’m absolutly mad i tell you..this brood told me there is absolulty no id theft issues what-so-ever with my tax return..i guess i’m in review…just gonna wait for the letter
-
she just said cp05 was my letter
-
looks prolmising..on hold again
-
i think at this point i wish i were under review..
i was looking through the differnt letters u could get, none have todowith holds due to id theft..on hold withid ytheft people, had to call..:) -
Just giving our info. My boyfriend saw the same “under review” status. Finally called the hold dept today (the # given here) and they said it was being reviewed by the exam unit. They gave a # that was disconnected to call them. Called back and was transferred to the exam unit. They told him that he would receive a letter explaining what paperwork he would need to submit within 30 days. He asked her what he was flagged for and they said for the EIC. He will receive the fed income tax paid in in a few days and the rest will be released once paperwork is in. From my “google research” he’ll just need to send in copies of social security cards and birth certificates etc for the kids. Just thought we’d share our info.
-
under review and processing here also
-
Under review and processing here
-
Ok, called the holds dept. Got a nice lady but she says I called the wrong dept., to call customer service again and if they try to transfer me to the holds dept to ask to speak to a manager! She asked if I had the customer service number, I said yes, the 1040#. She said no, call this 1-800-829-0922. So now I’m on hold with that number. Anyone know what it is? All the prompts are about setting up,a payment plan and stuff. I’m freaking out, I don’t owe them any $$!
-
is anybody under review with a hold on their refund or under review and processing?
-
Hello all…I called the holds review dept and got the rudest lady ever!!I told her I received the 4464c letter and she said u have called the wrong number and she proceeds to give me the regular IRS number.So I called them and they stated I have no holds an to wait the full 21 days.This is a mess and I’m so confused…
-
I thought everyone might find this interesting. I was accepted on the 30th. I ordered an account transcript (needed for court) on the 5th. It arrived today, and was dated the 6th. It said I had never filed this tax year. So I call. I was told that my return wasn’t received until the SEVENTH. I’m supposedly not under review….it processing as normal. We shall see.
-
called…reps can’t find any hold still. not even the hold dept :/
-
I wish i had a letter..u ever hear that no news is good news…not the case here:)
-
I asked she said she didn’t see…
-
Here is my story. I e-filed on the 25th was accepted in a test batch on the 27th. I remained in processing land from the 30th and remain there today. On Friday I received the 4464C letter. I filed HOH, 2 dependents both previously claimed. I was amazed when I found this page and saw that so many people have the same issue. I have been on Google since Friday researching and this has happened every tax year since 2010 from what I can find. What happens according to previous years posts is once you run through for the test the second run once the IRS opens flags your forms as a duplicate which generates the letter and throws you into the review pile. When you call the reps they usually are no help because your letter shows 0 as your error code. Which is a computer generated error. I’m not sure if that is the case this year just sharing what I have found from previous years.
-
styxparadise do you know what kind of letter was sent out?
-
Ok, i havea unique story i’m sure…i’m still processing..my return is readyfor me I just have to lift this hold..its a ID theft thing..this chick did not for sure confirm this,but allthree agaents i talked to mentioned this as the most likly cause..
what sucks is i have to wait for this letter, it will tell me what i need to do or it will send me further into depression..says not to worry, she said only worry if WMR says something other then processing..lets hope.
don’t sleep till WMR updates…
sleep couple hours
Wait for mail..
live on this site to help me to the next day of waiting.
yesthis is mylife.everything has fell to shit waiting on this return…saying” 2 things in life are certain-death,and taxes”. wish it were tax returns..
good luck everyone..i’ll let u know when i get my letter..calling is out for me from here on out..like doing the final sttretch ofa jail sentence in solitary
-
this lady is goinng to drive me crazy…she said if WMR says stillprocessing, then it is..give it the 21 days…don’t worry, easy 4 her to say..only have 5 daysleft in my original 21 days..now shes looking into it..had tosweet talk her..waiting now
-
I was told last week by H&R Block that most people don’t know they’ve been reviewed; that usually the irs rep tells them they are still processing. If a letter is sent, thrn it is either a math error, w2 amounts don’t match, or a dependent has either a wrong SS#, or is new, or was claimed by someone else last year. If a human has to look at it, a letter is sent….if the computer reviews it, your stuck in processing limbo until the next cycle.
-
This lady just said we would get a letter dated 2/25, and I asked why it took so long for a letter to go out, she said she didn’t know. I am going to call back later or tomorrow see if I can get someone more helpful.
The way she made it sound was they won’t even “review” it until after the date of the letter and that was why to allow an additional 60 days after the letter. -
I know mine was looked at multiple times they dont know why i have a hold either just saying im under review
-
Holly, I wonder if the rep even looked at your return. I have seen alot of people get the date of Feb 25th for various reasons…
-
both IRS ladies told me i have a hold they just dont know why
-
I dont have a letter yet but I know one is coming, this seems crazy so many people are in review, if they have to do a manual review there are alot of people that will be waiting a very long time
-
holloy u never got a letter,if so im scared. most people with holds have letters
-
said same thing’
-
mine haS SAME thing whole time…
-
@styxparadise: told them the holds department told us to call that number. (which they did)
@mrsdaw: same thing is has said since the 31th:
Refund Status Results
Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.
Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 152, Refund Information -
@Holly ugh that sucks! What does WMR say for you?
-
call and ask if there is a hold on your refund or account, if yes ask them why and if a letter was mailed out and if there was what kind of letter, ie: cp05 or 4464c or something like that
-
how did u get through with that number w/o a letter
-
Holly i was told 45 days from the letter
-
Just told we would get a letter DATED 2/25 wtf? ccpo5 or something like that. We were selected at random nothing is wrong, no red flags, no errors.
It can take 60 days AFTER the notice to get a refund.
So now I am saying WTF? We filed the 16th, accepted the 30th ordered transcripts 2/4 now we won’t get a letter until after the 25th and the “time” for processing don’t start until AFTER the date on the letter. -
that number is 4 letters…
-
Called the “holds” line, nothing there but told us to call 1-800-829-0922……. So now we are on hold once again….
-
that hold department is only for previously unfilled returns, nothing else..good news i dont have a hold due to unfiled returns..
bad news, i have to wait 2 weeks for a letter. or he told me tocall 1040#, does he know what hell that is -
I have not received a letter yet. Both departments told me to wait the 21 days, that my return was being reviewed, but would only last another 7 days. This was Friday; and my 21 days would be over on the 19th.
-
impatientlyawaiting: I did received a 4464c letter dated Feb 1. I just do not have the time to go back to customer service department for another over 15 minute hold as I am at work. I will try them at lunch but no idea if not in refund hold department, not in error department where return is (guess sitting somewhere). She said the return started processing on the 28th and she said that some returns may have been picked out by computer in the test batches for review. She just said not her department and could not provide any further information. Seems like no one has a concrete answer outside of the fact my return was re sequenced for a cycle or 2 which I was told 2 weeks ago.
-
duece, did you receive a letter? IGMR keeps crashing when I try to view previous comments.
-
did they ever tell u u had a hold
-
anyone call yet..on hold right now..fingerscrossed
-
Just got off the phone with the refund hold department and was told there is nothing that shows I am on a hold and not their department and wanted to transfer me back to customer service. No errors, no upostable, no debt indicators.
-
I was told on 2 different occasions I should still receive refund within 21 days. Going to call the holds department as I have not spoken with them yet to find out what the issue is at 8 and hopefully get more insight on the letter received.
-
Has anyone got a letter or were told they were under review and recieved their money or a direct deposit date yet?
-
our status has not changed at all except wmr doesnt say under review it says processing expect refund in 21 days tax topic 152 and my friends currently is unavailable all of a sudden
-
Ive posted here that the best info on why return was being held was nbecause of potential fraud..this info came from a really nice lady…she alsosaid that i was flagged for having my girlfriend as a dependant..I just found out that B.S…IRS states as long as she makes less then 3500$-she only made 2000$, AND I PROVIDE HAVE HER SUPPORT, then ican claim her..
with that one lie i no longer elieve this lasy- becides what a wierd hold anyway..still complety clueless..
-
The number to the IRS Refund Hold Department is : 866-897-3315
-
does anyone know the irs holding department phone number?
-
Sorry guys, 2013taxpayer is right…I jumped the gun on that article link. It was from 2012. Sorry for the confusion. Got excited when I saw light at the end of the tunnel I guess :(
-
I can’t way to give the hold department a call I’m sure they know about this and will now take steps to give each of us our refunds be sure to update everyone with your call info as I will do the same . Don’t forget to pray tonight and ask God to let you have a understanding rep that can help you cause I’m all sure we really need our refunds in some type of way . Be blessed and a blessing ill be checking for more info
-
@NeverGonnaGetIt Thanks for the link…. it didnt say anything about the letters being sent but at least its admission of the glitch… Being that we know now it was a computer generated letter it makes sense… and plus of the magical 2/1 date sounds like they just might have something there… lol
-
that article was from last year :(
-
This won’t get our refunds any faster, but may ease the minds of some. I was a 1/23 accept date:
http://www.wowt.com/news/headlines/138404734.html?mobile=yes -
@kay kay i know hahaha…hope we get it soon!
@yvette63 that is what we are assuming because we’ve seen ppl who are actually under review have a code on wmr and hotline. with ours, it is just processing and we haven’t gotten an error code or some kind of irs ref code on both the wmr & hotline. we’ll see…i’m gonna call tomorrow to hold dept and see if i get the same answer. -
Okay, I filed on 1/30 and was accepted on the same day. On both WMR and the IRS hotline I have been getting the same generic 21 day message. Saturday, I got the dreaded 4464c letter in the mail. It has a 0 code on it. However, when I check WMR and the hotline, I’m still getting the same 21 day processing message. Is there a chance that this letter was just a glitch?
-
the wmr and hotline both say processing today and refund will be available in 21 days and no letter sent out yet…but when called on friday was told refund on hold and under review…quite confusing
-
I don’t understand how 3 reps said its still processing and one says its in review call back and its processing?
-
I found some good reading: http://www.irs.gov/irm/part21/irm_21-004-001r.html from what I can gather, those who are “still processing” have been resequenced. These are the codes that appear on tbe IRS rep’s screen when they open our returns.
-
So I’ver called IRS, told me that it looks like potential fraud is holding my return..she wasn’t sure..have yet to get a letter..accepted 26th, order trans 2nd..
I am thinking when i do get this letter is it going to be the identity affidavid..if so could I fill that out now..
Anyone ever get a hold for this reason..
i filed a claim on 2009, stating my taxes were done w/o my knowledge…one visit, i never followed up because it was my ex girlfriend (daughters mother), i just wanted to let go..’
lady on the phone knew this whole story and she really thinks with all the little notes on my account that this 2009 fraud stuff is comming up…
Wierd ecause the last 3 years went through nno problem,and this year is the excate same everything-(except i made a few more $) -
Just to confirm if there is a code on your letter 4463C would it appear after the C? I just wan to have my facts straight when I call the holds department in the morning. I hope so as two reps told me I should still receive refund within 21 days and this error code is nothing to worry about. When I asked what the error code was the one rep said it was an “internal” code. I did confirm I was re sequenced also.
For the first few times I called I acted like I knew nothing about the letter and asked if the following:
Are there any debt indicators on my account: No
Are there any flags on my account : No
Are there any holds on my account : No
Has my return be re sequenced : after putting me on hold … Yes
Do you have a DDD for me: Not showing one but it should be within 21 days
Why did I receive a letter 4464C: Put me on hold to go and find the letter…aked me what the letter said again trying to confirm things and then told me this code is nothing to be alarmed about. As he searched for a reason he asked me how much was refund and told him over 8k and he stated “ah ok that is why you may have received the letter”1. File 1/20, accepted as part of test batch 1/25 IRS rep says really accepted 1/28 (as of Friday Return not processed yet per rep)
2. No Education Credits
3. I can only order account transcript which I received and it is blank
4. Just says processing on App and WRM and 21 should receive refund
5. Received 4464C dated 2/1/13
6. Return over 8k
7. EIC, W-2, 2 dep
8. Same job last 10 years, same dependents as last year, address, similar refund amount to last year -
okay I think I jumped the gun with that blog post… disregard… my head hurts from reading that one….lol but long story short…. TT had a huge mess up and had to give everyone there filing fees in 2010…
-
@2013taxpayer …. don’t feel bad you are not the only one… lol… but at this point as long as it doesn’t say under review… I can cope with that… not happy @ all but hoping that no news is good news at least for now
-
https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1217290-what-is-a-letter-4464c-got-one-in-mail-today
Web searching found this topic…. sounds similar to what is going on with some of us…
-
still processing *sigh*
-
i assume so deuce1911, i have the same thing as u.
-
Just looked at my letter says letter 4464c 0
Does this men i have no code?
-
We are sorry Where’s My Refund is currently unavailable. Please try again later or call the Refund Hotline at 1-800-829-1954.
-
Also got the review message on the wmr site . . For those who received only their federal witheld without the eic portion, how long did you receive that after you got the status on wmr. And have you received your letter before they deposited it? I just got that message yesterday and was wondering about how long before I can at least see some kind of deposit.
-
okay who broke the hotline… and WMR… jk jk… @squidney2k1 sometimes a new bundle of joy can flag the system… especially a new SS number… if you called and they said there wasn’t a problem I wouldn’t worry as much… if you don’t get your return or get a letter with a code… then start worrying… i posted the info on the codes a few pages up so you can look….i also think that all of this transcript checking is causing lots of problems… any one with a computer knows that they some time do what they want and if you keep forcing it to do something it gets mad at you and starts thinking with that stupid hour glass…so after 15 minutes you have to shut it down and start all over…. now imaging that times 9 million…but i also could be wrong….I am no tax expert by any means but after all of this drama i know could very well know more than those mean people telling us just to wait…. I am more so trying to reassure myself more than anybody else but if I can ease other people tension at the same time why not… lol
-
@mrsdaw that’s a code for holding the return… not about processing…
-
@squidney2k1 i had been getting the under review notice got letter today im being audited even though when i call the reps told me i was not under review and even gave me a dd 2/18.
good luck -
1. e-Filed 1/25 through H&R Block. Accepted 1/30
2. No ed form
3. Ordered a 2012 return transcript 2/7 (WMR at the time still said processing; the bar was long gone)
4. No letter received
5. WMR says “under review/take action” that I should get a letter. Rep said my return does not show to be under review through them
6. Return $8,700, up from $5,600 last year
7. Two W-2 forms, HOH, EIC, 3 dependents, but this year I had additional withholdings (1 reason for the higher return this year) and a new baby for a dependent
8. New address for the first time in 7 years -
@Mega I’m not saying every last “under review” is a glitch I’ve gotten confirmation that mine was indeed a glitch due to the testing that they did so I basically said if you had a similar situation as mine then it could very well be…i posted that a few pages ago sorry wasn’t trying to give false hope…BUT being audited and under review are totally different and not to be confused.
-
great idea thank you so much!!!!! i will keep u posted
-
@PB send what you got and then send some more, overload them so that they have more than enough to get you processed…goodluck and keep us posted
-
@mrsdaw could be a glitch but also know a girl who had no bars on wmr and she was being audited
-
@ mrs daw thank you i will be faxing this hugh stack of papers tomorrow morning bright and early. i have birth certificates for all three kids, socials, report cards, transcripts for one, prescription receipts with their names and address, rental agreement and letter from my land lord. i sure hope this is enough. maybe i should wait til tuesday in case i need more letters from the school.
-
Filed 1/17
Accepted 1/23 in test batch
No special forms, no dependents
Cannot order return transcript
Received 4464c dated 2/1, no code, just 0
WMR still and has always says generic 21 day message
Refund less than 4k. -
Tried to check so I could post the exact message but WMR is currently unavailable, many folks woke up to 2/13 ddd so maybe its updating for the 2/14’s or maybe its just flooded with a bunch of people lol
-
@pb ugh that sucks sorry you have to go through that. Hopefully you can get that fixed as quickly as possible and still get your refund by 2/18
@Holly my WMR says 21 day processing message with a status barand I forget who I read earlier but the tax topic 152 isn’t bad or indicative of review just general info about direct deposit, I only commented because someone asked about having 151
-
HollyD same thing here since the 30th day one for me
-
So does WMR say still processing or something else for everyone else?
Mine says:
Refund Status Results
Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.(Note: it has said this from day one, never changed, never had a “status bar” either)
-
i claim my 2 nieces and 1 nephews, they live with me. last year i claimed i only claimed 1 niece and 1 nephew but this year my sister dropped me off another one, my sister is a bit of a loser
-
@pb, is this the first year you have claimed your children? Most of us under review have filed the same, with the same dependents for years?
-
ugh my return has said under review for a week. i talked to to irs reps first one said no problems and it would be just a little bit longer. the second was from the holds dept. he said no hold no flags no problem and gave me a date of 2/18 for my refund. today i received a letter im being audited i need to send proof of qualified dependent which i have and birth certificates which i also have. does anyone know how long it will take after i fax them the papers?
-
@kay they were talking about the Tax Topic and I absolutely agree it has to be a glitch! After reading other forums people WMR actually say under review our says processing…I guess we are just in this for the long hall now what is this cp05 that everyone is talking about?
-
I have no codes under WMR or the hotline they both say processing as usual… Now the code you that are getting are from the hotline or are you talking about that Tax topic at the very bottom of the WMR screen if so that is just reading material about the refund… I will check the codes for those that have that under the hotline cause i have no clue what they mean…I also see a pattern with the people who filed and early and those to filed on the first two days of tax season… my personal opinion as of today is the letter was a glitch…now The hotline people may really be under review…. but dont flip out cause from what I am reading it can be anything from a math error to like the earlier post someone else claimed a child then a new person claimed the same child… that’s why the codes…. They have been reviewing returns for that reason cause it is very common people sell there kids “not literally” of course but they let someone claim there kids and spit the refund…. and its more common then you would think…EIC gives like 5000 for two kids so that’s one reason why the review… I know that’s not the problem for me cause I have claimed my brat for more than 5 years… I know we are stressing out… i will post back with more info soon
-
yup same boat at least some of you have a status bar, I never even had that in the past 10 days or whenever they started processing
-
@mrsdaw I could only order my transcript under my old address but the letter came to my new address… a lot has been happening WOW 11 pages… had class today so I got to catch up…
-
Bigtimeny1 sorry that was an old message from yesterday I just reposted it. That’s all the info she gave me. Are you in the same situation?
-
1. I filed early too, 1/24, got email 1/26 that I was accepted early
2. No Ed
3. I haven’t ordered transcripts
4. no code on WMR or hotline, haven’t got a letter yet
5. Rep said no letter mailed yet
6. Return over 9k
7. EIC, W-2, 3 dep
8. Everything exactly the same as last year. Same dependents, address, and employer. -
hackney2009 what did they say?
-
I called today and actually got a nice rep on the first try. She checked my info and told me the small deposit I received was just my federal withholding. (Which I already figured). She then told me I technically wasn’t under review but my return was pulled because I filed my niece and she was filed by someone else last year. She said my return was in a pile and it’s a possibility it will be examined by a IRS agent within 90 days!! She said its also a possibility that they would kick it out and send out my refund but for right now my return is in some kind of retarded IRS limbo state. Long story short: I’m pretty much fucked until they decide they’re done with me
-
i havent received a letter yet. when i check WMR i get the same message as floridagirl. i posted what i was told when i called the irs yesterday. ill repost it.
-
they haven’t asked for any additional info from yet. mine still shows still processing w/the topic 152 ever since 1/30th.
-
It does state I will receive letter asking for additional information and may only recieve part of the refund. Is this what evryone else got?
-
if you’re being audited, you will actually get a letter from IRS saying you’re audited. being reviewed and audited are two different things.
-
oh sorry, i didn’t know topic 152 was something to worry about. i always have that code ever since i’ve efiled and i’ve efiled for 10 yrs now. but i do have the 152.
-
I don’t have a 151 I have 152 which talks about receiving your money. Did you guys with 151 get a letter in the mail? Or maybe you both have an offset…have you tried to call and find out if that is the case?
-
I have the 151 code and I received my federal withholding.. everybody i talked to is telling me this means im one of the ones thats actually being audited. is this true? anybody ever had this happen to them before?
-
i don’t have any code on the wmr or hotline. just says still processing.
-
@floridagirl I got a 151 code. kinda scary.
-
DID ANYONE UNDER REVIEW GET THE 151 CODE?
-
if you have a code it would be top right after ltr 4464c
-
from reading, i believe they said kinda to the top right corner of the letter.
-
Where would the cp code be and would it say cp05?
-
And WMR still says processing
-
1 w2 same as last year 2 dep EIC CC refund over 7K resequenced and then told letter was sent on the 1st no CP code mines also states 0 there is something wrong here I absolutely think there was a glitch and we need to call Monday to get thoes holds lifted like the other 2 folks did ill be calling early laugh out loud .
-
I also spoke with 3 agents this past week that said no review , off sets or red flags, I was accepted on 1/31
-
@ Kay Kay , .. I had a 1040ez no additional deduction of any kind, no children…attempted to order transcript the same day letter was mailed
-
1. Early Filer-filed & accepted 1/28th
2. No Ed Form
3. Ordered Acct Transcript (1/31st)/Can’t order Return
4. 4464 c letter dated 2/04 but don’t see any code.
6. Return $3405 (my refund is always around $3000 but never higher than $3600)
7. No EIC (like always)
8. Nothing new -
1. filed the 23rd got accepted the 30th
2.no 8863
3.ordered both transcripts 2/5
4.no letter
5.irs said i was going to be mailed a cp05 next week(not sure if I believe them)
6.return 5419
7.hoh,eic,ctc,1 w2
8.same address for the past 3-4yrsThe only think I did different this year was claim my daughter, she is 3, her mother claimed her for the past 2 years, so that gave me the hoh ctc and made me qualify for the eic this yr. I spoke to 4 reps yesterday. 2 said my refund had a hold and was under review, the 3rd said something about a problem with last years return which i was transfered and found out that was not the problem. Called the 4th time and they looked it up took 30 minutes kept coming back on the line to let me know he was still checking on it. He didnt say anything about a hold or review. Said Im still in the begining of processing and he doesnt see how they could have put it on hold or review so early on in processing. I have not had a status bar since I filed. All wmr and the hotline says is that im processing and a direct date will be provided when available. Oh by the way one of the first 2 reps said they were going to mail out a cp05 next week but none of the other 3 reps said anything about that.
-
I think there is a glitch in the matrix… lol…. we all have similar timeframes were early filers and are getting more than 7k back….also CTC and EIC… FLAG on the play…. lol…. same thing happen last year…. all of us were prob sent back though the system flagged cause our info was ran twice and poof… review letter… or at least I hope…. i swear if you google this topic one year to the day you will find exactly the same issue… I think the IRS computers went coo coo and started sending out letter for most of the early filers like was said earlier… now as for the WMR review codes…. those people may very well be under review….WHO KNOWS…. still searching for more info… but as of today WMR still says processing….
-

-
ITS MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW!!!! lol but seriously I do, I told my hubbs that next year I am NOT filing early. I filed early last year and was stuck in limbo and now the same this year blah!
-
Filed the 30th…accepted the 30th….no clue when I went under review. Ordered account transcript (for court) on the 5th. Nothing in the mail at all. EIC, 2 dep, self employed, HOH. Nothing has changed since prior years. Return of 5k. I’m a childcare provider.
-
1. Early Filer
2. No Ed Form
3. Ordered Acct Transcript/Can’t order Return
4. No code for letter
6. Return over 15k
7. EIC, CTC, CCC [Earned Income, Child Tax, Child Care Credit]
8. New Address@kay your return goes to the address in which you typed in the beginning so if you typed your old addy then you wont see it at your new one. My local post man said that government mail does not get forwarded even if you selected to have your mail forwarded so that might be why you don’t have your account transcript yet
-
Wmr still says 21 days….and nothing about a review. My 21 days will be over on the 18th….which is approx 7 days from now….which is how long my review was going to take….hmmmmmm……
-
okay guys lets find out what we all have in common…
1. yes I am a early filer filed on the 7th accepted the 23 per TA but I think i got sent back through around the 30-31
2. Have Ed form 8863
3. ordered account transcript ONLY 2/2
4. no code for letter at all
5. Letter sent 2/01
6. Return over 7k
7. EIC, CTC,P&L(profit n loss) self employment
8. New address… but pulled transcript under oldBTW… just checked the mail no account transcript 7 days later…
Trying to find a method to this madness… if I am over stepping…. please say so and I will tone it down…
-
yeah my letter did no have a code either
-
@impatiently & fnr That’s what the rep told me that returns that were accepted early were tested went through the full process and at the point of refund the letter was generated because IRS was not accepting returns only testing the system. So now the returns are being accepted and our returns have been re sequenced and are really processing now. Explains why most letters have a 0 and not an actual code and most WMR’s say 21 day processing
-
That cp05 I’m not sure what it is I have a letter like Kay where there is no additional code just a zero so from what I was told I was being re sequenced after being apart of a test batch, @swiggins your wmr is totally different from mines as I’ve always and still have the 21 day message. See what it says Monday and if not try to call the holds department see what they say.
@fnr when I spoke to regular reps they never mentioned being reviewed the first time I said I was afraid of i.d theft and then the rep opened my full account put me on hold and came back with the review. When I called other reps they too said they didn’t see anything so I always mentioned that I received a letter [at that point I really hadn’t] and it was the same thing they put me on hold came back and said “I just need to do what the letter says and wait” 1 rep said it was for my protection that they hold the funds…I never got a straight forward answer until speaking to the rep from the holds department.
WMR still gives 21 day processing message
Can’t order return transcripts
Filed 01/17
Accepted 01/24
No education credits just EIC, W2’S, claimed my 2 children, husband still in military I happened to work 2 different jobs and my kids went to a new daycare this year -
swiggins2001 did your status bar dissapeer or do you have the bar and has it ever gone away?
-
wmr stated 2/4-2/7 that we were under review and i finally ordered both my transcripts on 2/7 and went back to processing on 2/8. spoke to irs rep yesterday and she said we’re under review and should receive a letter dated 2/25 if there’s additional information needed cp05 but the only code on wmr states tax topic 152 and hotline only says processing?????
-
@duece….I was told the same thing….but no letter…yet.
-
i have no code either…just a 0.
-
its starting to look like a pattern for us maybe were ok i hope
-
I was told by 3 agents 2 after i recieved letter dated 2/1 the letter is nothing to be alarmed about. Also should expect refund within 21 day time frame from 28th which is 2/17.
-
your more than welcome… I’m like you I wanna know…. lol…. that letter scared the crap out of me…
also this where I got the info about the codes and what they mean just so everyone doesn’t I’m just randomly throwing the possibility in the air…

-
THANKS KAY KAY LIKE I SAID I SPOKE TO 2 REPS FROM IRS THIS WEEK AND THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT A REVIEW
-
oh and BTW if you google the letter you will see the exact same thing happen to A LOT of people last year on 2/1…
-
I think it was I have a letter from the first too… if you look in the upper right had corner it is supposes to be a CP code telling us the reason for it so when we call they have something to reference it to… but mines just says 0 I started looking at the codes to see what each one meant…. I can’t find anything for 0 at all… now it might be different for those who got there info from WMR but… I think this letter for now is a glitch… Plus from reading about the forms it is 100% computer generated… I’m doing some more research so I will let you guys know what else I find out…. trying to be as helpful as I can… :)
-
Did anyone call and get told it would only take an additional 7 days to process?
-
I have not received a letter yet….but have heard from several people that returns accepted at the VERY beginning of the season were kicked out as a result from a software problem.
-
I wonder if that was the glitch that we just got resequenced and just got the letter by mistake
-
fnr0420 .. my situation is identical word for word including same dates.
-
Ok i looked at the 4464c letter last night when I got home and It was mailed on 02/01/2013 accepted on 1/25 irs says 01/28 now with that being said I spoke to an IRS rep on 02/06/2013 and on 02/08/2013 and i asked both if there were any issues and both said NO and since the 1st WMR says still processing and 800 number also says still processing 21day msg no with all of that being said WOULD YOU ALL THINK ITS OK WAS I ONE THAT GOT A 4464 C LETTER PLEASE ANSWER
-
I have the first orange section on wmr. Still processing…called yesterday, and was told I’m under review, but it should be cleared up in 7 days??? I ordered an account transcript (I need it for proof of filing for child support). I have not received a letter as of today. Same things I have filed for YEARS.
-
Does anyone since being accepted still have no status bar? Says still processing a direct deposit date will be provided when available?
-
@Inshallah1 did you try to retrieve a transcript? or do you have a form that is delayed till next week? Just trying to help figure out why you got the letter? did you claim a new child this year? anything of that nature?
-
I have noticed that alot of people who were pulled into review have had the exact SAME tax returns the past few years! This makes me angry. Especially when you call and they tell you there are no red flags, and no letter sent out.
-
@ bigtimeny1…no I don’t see anything ref cp504…its seems to be a rather generic letter saying basically that I am under review and the IRS is stepping up measures to prevent fraud.
Only thing I can think that would triggering this is that I have a different employer after 7 yrs of the same -
man, i don’t have the patience to be on hold lol
-
Inshallah1 what did the letter say and do you know if it was a letter cp05?
-
I filed 1/30 IRS received 1/31 was showing Orange bar until 2/6 and has shown “still processing “ever since. I have talked to three reps all who said I had no red flags or off sets. I just spoke to someone earlier today that said everything was fine. Received a letter today dated 2/4 saying I was under review…WMR never said any error code
-
@Kay wow that sucks I’m sorry to hear that but I know your money is coming and you guys will be in your home sooner than you know :)
@Monet that’s great news! The number I posted the people seem generally much knowledgeable, nicer and willing to assist.
-
hello all I have been reading the post and when mrsdaw posted the number 18668973315 I called because I filed on Feb. 1st and was accepted Feb. 1 but I have not been able to access wheres my refund. when I called I got a nice lady that told me my refund was accepted on the 4th not the 1st and it was scheduled to be DD on Feb. 13 and no later than Feb. 25 so if you want to know the status just call.
-
@mrsdaw I was too started crying… my apartment was broken into a few months ago and me and my son lost everything… they even stole his under ware…so this money could help us buy our very first home… I started googling info on the letter and found out about the codes attached… went over the letter with a fine tooth comb trying to find a code but it wasn’t any… thought that was weird so I started calling… got the wait till answer and the info i stated from the hold dept… thought about what I did and the transcript thing was what I came up with… not saying I am right but if I know there is a hold cause of the delay it would stand to reason that they sent the generic letter out to cover the time it takes for processing… so as long as WMR states… processing with no code or says that I am officially under review… I’m not going to call just yet….plus the fact that every one is flooding the IRS line with I want my DD and where is my check questions I’ll just wait… Me and my lil man can ride this storm out for a little longer… praying for all of us to get our $$$
-
@Holly Although I can’t give you a 100% answer I would say to read both mine and royjb post, seems like in his case he actually had to get a hold removed and in my case the hold was just for testing and was already lifted.
@kay I was loosing my mind up until I hung up the phone with Ms. Garcia, I have been researching like crazy, becoming OCD with WMR and trying to order transcripts I was even reading stuff from 2009
@taxpayer if you have a hold on your return that is not related to any of the current tax delays like 8863 then I would certainly call the hold line and see what they say it’s a lot better than worrying I know it made me feel so much betterFor the meantime I think I will give my stalking ways up at least until Monday Morning lol.
-
What does I may not get all or part of my refund mean
-
-
I’m going to just leave it alone at least until this 8863 issue is resolved… now if you didnt claim that form by all means check to see what is going on… also check the its.gov site for other forms that have been delayed the check your return to see if you have them…
-
so if i just leave it alone will it still be processed no matter what? is that what they’re saying? we need to call in to have them remove the hold?
-
I was also accepted WAY early also I got my accepted letter from TA on the 23rd…
-
OK ONCE MORE I GOT A 4464C LETTER THIS AFTERNOON IN THE MAIL SPOKE TO IRS THIS MORNING THEY SAID I HAVE NO ISSUES AND Where’s My Refund (WMR) AN HOT LINE SAYS PROCESSING 21 DAY STUFF WHAT SHOULD I THINK
-
@mrsdaw thanks for the info…I am still going to wait till something updates after the 14th I have a 8863 and a profit and loss from self employment which were delayed this year… I will keep you all posted on what happens…. I also just want to say thank you all for your help and support with out it i know I would be loosing my mind…
-
Here is our story so far:
Filed on the 1/16 (HRB) IRS accepted it 1/30 was able to order both transcripts on 2/4. Still said processing on 2/5 so we called. They told us everything looked fine and that it was still processing give it until 2/20 and call back. Called again yesterday to see what was going on and if we could get a DDD. They lady told us it was under review. We didn’t do anything wrong, NO letter had been sent out. No codes were given. She also couldn’t give us an average time it takes to review.
My question is: If we aren’t getting a letter, or error codes then what is going on? -
I highly advise everyone to call that number. I spoke with a Ms. Garcia who was a sweetheart and she was very helpful. She stated that the IRS has a new system this year and for that system they accepted a few returns as a test. [I was accepted on the 24th] Those returns accepted as a test were just that a test, by no means was that your actual acceptance date since they did not begin processing until the 30th. So the test subjects returns fully went through the system and were assigned a number and then when they opened the flood gates on the 30th they were sent back through for what they call re-sequencing. That triggered the 4464c letter. She looked over my return line by line and told me there were no red flags and that it was actually being processed she even verified my banking information to make sure there would be no hold ups when the time comes around. I thanked her so much because I have gotten nothing but jerks on the line unwilling to assist. She also stated that if you were really up for review your WMR would update to say that along with an error code. If you were accepted early I would assume maybe you are in the same category as me but it always feels better to hear that for yourself so call call call and goodluck everyone. I will keep you all posted and I ask that you do the same. Have a great weekend!
-
I called today and actually got a nice rep on the first try. She checked my info and told me the small deposit I received was just my federal withholding. (Which I already figured). She then told me I technically wasn’t under review but my return was pulled because I filed my niece and she was filed by someone else last year. She said my return was in a pile and it’s a possibility it will be examined by a IRS agent within 90 days!! She said its also a possibility that they would kick it out and send out my refund but for right now my return is in some kind of retarded IRS limbo state. Long story short: I’m pretty much fucked until they decide they’re done with me
-
Yep, the number I called is the one mrsdaw posted above. BTW, thank you mrsdaw. :)
-
I found a number for the Refund Hold Department just in case anyone else would like to call it is 1-866-897-3315. Please keep us posted everyone :)
-
The lady I talked to was very nice. She said it COULD take the extra 7 days…but didn’t let on that it was anything serious. I went as far as asking if I needed to start making copies of all my receipts and parent payments (I have had a daycare for many many years).
Has anyone gotten their refund even though they’ve been reviewed?
-
@roy Great news! What number did you call?
-
I tried to call 3 times yesterday they won’t tell me nothing even called the holds department for info he was very nice said that they could only look up my info for 2011….WMR stills says this for me
We have received your tax return and it is being processed.
You should get your refund within 21 days from the date we received your tax return.Please check here or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go, to check on your refund status.
I also still have not received my account transcript as of today…. one week later… maybe it will come Monday or maybe just maybe (praying) that’s what the letter about… it had no code to reference to at all…. I decided not to call until this whole delay of the 8836 form has been settled…Also after I got the letter I went flipping google search crazy and A LOT of people using TT are getting the letter and the codes on WMR… I’m just praying for good news for ALL of us…
-
The lady I talked to today says the updates in the processing system caused some returns to be kicked to review for no reason at all. When she looked at my account, she went line-by-line and say no codes or flags. After having me on hold for about ten minutes, she came back on the line, said she removed the hold on my refund, and placed my account back into the normal refund delivery system. She said I should be able to see my direct deposit date in a couple days.
If you have been told by an IRS agent that you are under review, or that your refund is on hold, ask to be connected to the “holds department”. They can tell you more than the regular reps, and they have the power to make changes on your account.
-
impatientlywaiting: That coincides with what the agents where telling me. Two different agents stated I should still receive my refund in the 21 day time frame from the date it started processing on the 28th. We shall see as the 28th day if they include weekends will be the 2/17 as I know 2/18 is a holiday.
-
I’m under review…filed the 30th, accepted the 30th as per the IRS. I just called, and was told that I’m under review, and it should only last approx. 7 more days. Same return as the past 10 years. Self Employed, 2 dep, HOH, EIC. In fact, My return is about the same as last year, and the past few years.
-
Okay here’s my two cents not that it really means anything on the 1st of Feb I ordered a account transcript for 2012 could not order the return transcript cause I have the education credit which as we all found out does not process until Feb 14 so How can I get a transcript on a year that hasn’t happen yet… for me anyways… what I am thinking is I received the letter because of the delay of the 8863… there is no code on the letter or the hotline or WMR….I am still and have been since the 23rd processing… I AM NOT calling cause all they do is give me the run around… My patiences is way to then right now for that… now I could be totally wrong about this theory but… I wont know for sure till next week…. I will keep you posted on what happens…
-
i don’t even wanna try and call. i know i’m gonna lose my temper and they’re just doing their job. wmr still says processing and when i call refund hotline it’s the same message. still no error code or irs ref code on wmr or hotline.
-
Ok, here’s my story:
Used Turbotax. Filed 1/24, accepted 1/26. 1 W-2, EIC with 3 kids, same as last 3 years.
WMR and hot line have been processing ever since. No codes or review messages.
I called yesterday and the rep wasn’t helpful, said they didn’t get my return on 1/26, that they got it 1/31. Said everything looked ok, just give it 3 weeks (21 days).
Called again this morning since I still didn’t get an update on WMR, rep looked and said I had a hold on my return but she didn’t know why. She didn’t see any codes or anything and said they haven’t mailed out a letter. If they need anything they will mail one out but just figure 45 days before its released!
So I called this afternoon to see if another rep seen something different. Nope, it’s under review, she doesn’t know why. I may get a letter, maybe, if they need info. I asked her why WMR doesn’t say I’m under review and she said its not accurate.
I am soooo annoyed with this whole thing! -
I received this letter today it was very general and nothing specific as to why I am under review… I’m glad to know I am not the only one… Now for some reason my State (MI) has been pending acceptance since the 30th but today for some reason it was approved. As for my info
Filed 7th
Accepted 23rd
WMR Still processing no error codes at all
I have Ed Credit (Delayed till Mid Feb) CTC and profit and loss from self employment W2’s and a over 7k refund amount… I hope there is some info soon…. I was reading on the TT site last year this happen to ALOT of people… i filed though TA will post back when I get more Info -
filed 24th accepted 26th…there are a lot of 26ers being reviewed
-
Ok thanks for all the help. I’m gonna call tomorrow morning and post what info I find out. Hopefully it’s good news
-
Also like someone else mentioned I have had far greater success with the men looking up my file. I usually try to ask them how their day is going and engage in some conversation while they are looking up my info (ie. weather, where they are located, sports, etc).
-
hackney2009: 1st objective is to try to get them to open your file and look at it. Ask them that you just wanted to check to see if you have any errors or any debt indicators/offsets, flags, or under manual review on your file. They have to look at your return to find that information out. Once they have your file open then you can ask what you really want to know. If your refund was reduced then at that point ask them about the reduction and if they can tell you why the reduction.
Sometimes it takes multiple calls to get someone that is willing to help as many of them are trained to be rude and not open your file.

Deuce1911 what questions did you ask? I want to call and try to get some answers for myself but I don’t want to get railroaded
Just because I don’t know what I’m talking about. Also I posted on the IGMR Facebook page and a lady told me the problem is
That I filed my niece and they just want to verify that she lives with me. I’m a first time filer so all of this is new to me.

2013taxpayer : my refund was higher.. it was funny though I called yesterday when I received the letter monday evening and they could not find anything wrong with my return. I just played dumb and asked questions. Then when I told them about the letter they put me on hold and finally found the code.
When I was with my CPA today on the conference call today on the line he called they answered the call in less than 2 minutes… asked for his ID information and mine and looked at everything we asked them to. The person we spoke with said the code is nothing to be alarmed and basically just holds the funds in case someone wants to look at the return. He was searching for a reason why the return would of been held and then he asked how much it was for and when I told him over $7000 he then said that was the reason due to the high dollar amount. Said I should still receive it within the 21 day time frame like WMR is stating from the 28th which for me would be 2/18.

also not to confuse anyone lol….i’m the sister of this username. my sis got her refund already.

“I called my CPA and we conference called with the IRS Practioner Priority Services group in which they look up your return. I was flagged because of the size of the refund. He said nothing looks out of order just a code that slows up the return if someone wants to take a look at it hence the letter issued by the system.
He says I started processing on the 28th even though the 25th was the acceptance date I received. He said the refund is still scheduled to be disbursed within the 21 day time frame and nothing to be alarmed about. He said this letter is just the systems way to slow up the process to allow additional time IF someone wants to take a look at it. If it goes beyond the 21 days then there will be another letter but NO manual review right now and no flags outside of this code. Hope that gives everyone a little hope.”
@duece1911 Thank you so much for this helpful information!!! My refund is $3405, I’m wondering if I was flagged because that amount. Is your refund close to my amount? -
WMR is showing processing, should receive refund within 21 days still today. No error codes or anything. Still haven’t received any mail from the irs. I am starting to think the hold on my refund was caused by a system error. My hold is scheduled to be released 2/18.
-
Ok thanks for the help deuce1911. Its really appreciated.
-
hackney2009 – Not sure but you would receive a letter stating you are being Audited if that was the case.
Remember that if anyone is experiencing a financial hardship due to the delay of their refund they can call the Tax Advocate group which is a free service to represent you and expedite or if not expedite at least research your situation more as they will act as your liason with the IRS during the process of the review.
The number is listed on the letter 4464c 1-877-777-4778

i checked my papers and the deposit that i received came out to be the exact amount of my Federal
Withholdings minus the fees HRB was supposed to take out. Does this mean im one of the lucky ones
that is getting a real audit instead of it being a computer error?

Have you seen anybody get the partial return?
-
I have been under review since the 1st also but I am only able to order a account transcript and not the return transcript. I still get the processing and refund expected in 21 days. No error codes or anything and when I call I had to actually tell them I received the letter as the IRS agents told me everything looked fine with the return. The agent yesterday actually had to go look up the letter 4464c before he gave me the 6 to 8 week spill. Another agent told me he is supposed to say 6 to 8 weeks but it usually is alot faster than that time frame.
-
I’ve been under review since the 1st but I was able to order my transcripts and I received a deposit from HRB for 200 bucks
Yesterday, which is wayyy less than what my return is supposed to be, but now when I check their systems they don’t have any
info about my return at all. It’s like I never even filed with
Them. I’m still waiting for my letter but I really can’t imagine what would be wrong since I didn’t prepare them myself. I also can’t
Find anyone in the same situation as me so it’s an even shittier situation
-
i filed & got accepted on 1/28th. since 1/30th as of now, i am showing as returned received & processing on wmr & the same on refund hotline. i have just received a 4464 c letter yesterday. i was told on here to not to worry if i got the letter and on wmr still shows as processing and not a specific error/irs ref code on the wmr. also was told along with my sis (the original owner of this username) earlier today on here to not to worry about it because they got their refund the same day they got their under review letter. she called irs about it and they told her that they have been getting quite a few calls about it but need not to worry because it was a glitch in the system that has been sending out letters. hopefully, that is the case.
i also can’t order my return transcript but i can order my acct transcript.

Hi Guys!
Filed 01/17
Accepted 01/24
WMR gives the generic 21 day messageBUT after reading the different forums and having friends that filed after me already get their taxes I decided to call. Took me 3 reps til I found out we were placed under review they didn’t state why other than it was for my protection. Like other people I claimed the Childcare Tax Credit and this is the only year that our return is different. My husband is still in the military but I worked 2 jobs and we moved so my kids went to 2 daycares. Was expecting a large amount upward of 15k. No offsets reported for either one of us and the rep I spoke to said they were mailing a letter but I don’t need to do anything and it can take up to 60 days…bleh! This has never ever happened and I’m a little nervous, scared and concerned. I will keep everyone posted.
-
I had to call the irs before i knew there was an issue. neither rep i spoke with said i was under review. they just say there’s an issue and my refund is on hold til 2/18.
-
I havent received a letter yet either but now wmr cant find my info
-
I have been proccessing since 1/31/12 but I haven’t received a letter yet
-
Im not sure exactly, it shouldnt take more than 1 day of processing
-
My message on WMR is processing and waiting 21 days… I just received letter from IRS that I am under review yesterday. I submitted via Tax Act on 1/20 and accepted on 1/25.
-
How long does it take to find out your under review? When your under review the WMR site is stating that?
-
I’m seeing a lot of people having problems with HRB. I dont know if its solely their problem but i
wanna know how it went from a 4 Grand refund to only 200 bucks
-
I going to assume this email I got this morning from TurboTax is from the funds I received yesterday. It says funds are on their way and I should have them by the next bussinss day. I’m not holding my breathe but the rest of my refund would be appreciative.
-
Looks like mosr ppl are getting a review message of some sort besides me? I am confused.
-
Filed with HRB and accepted on 1/30. Expecting a return of 4 grand
Went into review a couple days later and was able to order transcripts yesterday.
Before today HRB website could’nt find my return but now their website is saying i never even filed with them!
WMR hotline still says I am under review.
HRB hotline says my funds have been sent to my bank.
Checked my bank account and it shows a deposit of 200 bucks from HRB..
Idk what boat im in but its looking like the titanic.. A lot of big ass holes
-
i filed 1/27 with taxact. was done processing on 1/31 and ordered the transcript. 2/4 wmr still showed 21 day processing message.
called irs on 1/4. he said my refund is on hold til 1/18 but cant see why. he said that it isnt for debt. he said no letter has been sent out. he said if everything is ok by 2/18 my refund will deposit.
called irs back on 2/6. lady says i an still on refund hold, give it til 1/18. she says no letter has been sent as of this date either.
wmr still shows return processing.
i assume its not an eic review because i havent got any refund of the taxes paid in, and irs says my entire refund is on hold.
did anyone here see any other message besides “your return is being processed. you should get your refund within 21 days”?
-
-
Just received the Letter LTR4464C also today and may take up to 60 days to process. No special forms or anything though added.
-
well I guess the review is for EIC and child tax credit at least for me, just noticed a deposit on my greendot card for only my federal taxes no EIC or CTC. load of BS, exact same filing as last year, I am the court ordered legal guardian of my nephew with a different last name. Filed with him last year with no issues F@@K all of those who file fraudulently with other peoples kids, you caused this BS with the IRS looking at legit filers and holding up my $$$$
-
I’ve gotten a LTR 4464C letter that says my return is under review, and it might take up to 60 days to process. It said they may require additional information, but I don’t need to do anything yet. I used TT and filed on the 10th so my return was accepted quickly. The only problem is my return is delayed because of the Education Tax Credit delay until Feb 15th… From what I’ve read my return shouldn’t of been processed yet, and why I don’t understand why I even got a letter.
-
Ok here is my situation. Got accepted on the 29, on the 1st got the dreadful msg Take action and I should receive a letter in the mail. On Sunday I had a deposit in my net spend card minus the EIC. So i called yesterday and talked to a very helpful rep. He said I should receive a letter in the mail stating that I have to prove that I have a right to claim for Eic. He didnt say when I will get the letter or how long it will take. Checked the mail and no letter yet. Really hoping it comes soon!
-
I got a little bit of good news. I got what I paid in federal about an hr ago. Unfortunately they are still holding my EITC.
-
-
-
I am getting all kinds of conflicting messages and dates from different and websites. WMR gives me this under review message, Irs2go says sent/deposited with no date or reference number, hotline gives me the WMR message, TurboTax says accepted, TurboTax mobile says it has been successfully acknowledged and you will receive your refund before 2/17 and mytaxrefund app says something else different. What a nightmare!
-
Anyone get a refund that has been in review. Last year it delayed my refund one week. Hoping for the same this year.
-
i filed on 1/28 accepted 1/29 processing for 4 days then went to review. Called IRS today and after talking the rep into looking up my return she said still processing. Not sure if this is accurate or not. I do have a schedule C, Filed HOH, and claim my nephew same as I did last year because I am his legal guardian with a court order. i have filed with a schedule C and W2 for the last 8 years never an issue.
Personally I have seen so many people comment on this review process I have no idea who is right, some say the review is generated by computer and may only cause a delay of a couple of days. Others say it can hold your refund for weeks or months.
Who knows????

It says all that on WMR?
-
would i be see this message if i owe child support?
i called the offset hotline and it says they took the child support out of my irs payment dated for feb 6th 2013. i havent gotten a DD date yet but the hotline says a future date. I wonder if i will see it in my bank that day. -
I efiled with TT on Jan 24th got accepted on the 27th. had a status bar saying it was recieved. a couple days later for the message “We have received your tax return and it is being reviewed. You will receive a notice from us requesting additional information within 30 calendar days. You may not receive all or part of your refund until we receive and review the information we requested. If you need more information after you receive our notice, call the number on the notice.
Please do not contact us until you have received the notice as we are unable to take any action until then.Please read the following information related to your tax situation:
Tax Topic 151, Your Appeal Rights”I filed Head Of Household 2 dependents, EIC and Child tax credit. My refund says about $8,000 im suppose to get back. What does this mean , am i seeing this and what kind of additional info do that need? sorry im stressed and have several ?’s
-
I pulled transcripts last night, not to see if this theory is right, but because I needed it for a loan. Anyway I got a deposit date tonight. 2 dependents, couple of w2’s, that’s it. No deductions or write offs, no home buyers credit. My tax return is almost identical as last year.
-
les, did you ever get the home buyers credit?
-
im sooo stressed!! got this msg also! Does anyone know what this might mean? how long does it take to get refund? What do they ask for? sooo many questions, sry. But i cant help it. :(
-
Hopefully we all get them soon! She will be calling on monsay morning, so,i will defiantly post
-
My situation is unique i think but yeah it possible they might think so.
What i am getting on the 800# says they mailed me something and they would like me to return the mail (probably with a signature) and I should get that within 30 days and nothing can happen til they receive the mail back. Sound like what happened last year? Thanks for your answers by the way:) -
yes every year they take out 500$ but say my refund is 1000 i could only efile on 500 as they would already pull that out, if that makes sense. Why do u owe this also?
-
This happened to me last year as I had EIC and child tax credit, I called the IRS that day and the rep told me that everything was fine and it was set to be released on the orginal dd they had given me.
-
I filed with Turbotax, was accepted on Jan 24, plain 1040, however I did claim my daughter and grandson. Head of Household filing status. I got the same thing. They both lived with me from January 2012 to date.
-
Have any of you also been under review before?
-
For those of you that are being reviewed…..what type of return did you file and how much of a refund are you expecting? Did you itemize? Claim any special credits? Married, single, HOH, trying to find a common ground. Also who did you file with and when?
-
anyone thats under review owe the 8k homebuyer credit?
-
yeah I jumped the gun there….
-
did they provide a date next to “sent/deposited:”? Otherwise it may still be under review pending additional information.
-
hitney please check irs2go app. Mine says refund status sent/depoaited?!
-
@ Denise she filed 25th was accepted 26th
@wtf She didnt loose her refund, she had to sign a paper she believes.. She pays 500 back every year out of her taxes for it, so that could be the issue also.
-
i filed on 23rd and accepted the 26th.
@blh, what happened last year did she lose her refund and did it cover the 8k? -
When was everyone’s initial filing date? Wonder if that has something to do with it.
-
My moms says the same thing and it doesn’t tell her to call but says she will get something in writing in 30 days. Last year the same thing happened to you and it was because of the first time home buyers credit
-
mine does not say anything about calling them, thats strange, i wonder if our situations differ… self employed one dependant. same fling aslat year.
-
-
Same boat here, pray it changes, keep me posted
