Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available and the WMR bar disappeared.
Never seen this before. Does anyone have any experience with this?

@SMH
That says paper returns. They are still processing electronically filed returns.1
-
-
They stopped processing tax returns.
On the Get Your Payment portal website (IRS) it states as follows;
Note: We are not currently able to process individual paper tax returns due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

@Ty’s Girl, for most IDVers, it’s 2-3 weeks. But, remember, the letter says it could take up to 9 weeks, AS LONG AS THERE ARE NO OTHER ISSUES with your return. Additional processing issues could contribute to further delay. Even then, I would hope it wouldn’t take 9 weeks or more.

I was accepted 1/27, id verified 2/18, called 2 weeks later the lady was rude said i had to wait 9 weeks, then on 3/9 recieved 4464c letter for 60 day review, cant access transcripts online, never had bars, mine says being my husbands says still, nothing else ever, filed jointly with both credits still waiting

Faxed my forms on 3/2/2020, still waiting. Filed on 1/30/2020 transcript N/A.

Anyone here had to send in the 1095 and 8962 forms after already doing their taxes? Did you get your refund yet? If so, how long did it take?

@Kelis We have to be our own community advocate and get things done. Plus that one sided rule about charging taxpayers penalties and interest on taxes for late filing, but having the nerve to delay processing taxes causing people hardships needs to be reformed. This is an investigative committee. Voice up
-
When you try to voice your concerns to representatives they have the nerve to become rude dismissive and hang up in your face, so why not talk to the agency that regulates them in the first place. Hopefully all of this unprofessional service will change. I have read all kinds of terrible experiences on the internet.

@T2471
You said it!!! I like your leadership. Much appreciated.

I mean its so much to voice from Where’s My Refund not updating, failure with Path Act delaying taxes over 21days, early filers targeted, delays in processing refunds without Path Act, failure to provide timely notices by choosing snail mail instead of providing updates on Where’s My Refund, Providing deposit dates that fail to post on scheduled date, causing negative fee to bank accounts due to prepares fees coming out because refunds have extended past their deadlines, mailing the same person 17 letters while other people’s taxes are delayed but no notice received,

Hey Congress especially the Ways and Means Committee is requesting the IRS provide its ability to provide service during this pandemic. Now if they can’t even process taxes on time what is going to happen if they get impacted by Corona. If you want to let the committee know what’s really going on Phone:(202) 225-3625
Fax: (202) 225-5680 -

@trock875 The correct fax number should be on your letter if you have received it yet. I would honestly not recommend using just any of the fax number provided on here. Your return may be being processed in a different location/state than someone else’s. The fax on my letter may possibly send yours to the wrong location and delay processing of your return.
Also IRS can provide the fax number to the “reject team” assigned to process your retun

It is beyond frustrating especially when spring break is next week and I made and promised my children a get away with Mommy. Looks like a broken promise because my utilities and groceries have to eat up my bi weekly pay check

@Franz
I IDV on the 28th of February and here again I still have not had any change. Last Wednesday it went from we have received your refund and a date will be provided when available to we have received your tax refund and it is being processed. Now a week later nothing new.
-

Is there a fax number where I can fax my 8962 form in ? Or does anyone ha e the address to send it to?
-
-
My wmr message has only ever said received and being processed….nothing else. My transcripts and codes have all been the same since at least feb 28th. I did get my cp05 yesterday but I’m hoping I follow in others footsteps and get a dd on the next update.

@Shicks, as Rusty said, you’re in better shape with, “We have received your return and it is being processed,” than with “Your return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” I had the latter for 3 weeks until after 1 week after I IDV. It updated to the former message for 2 days and then gave me a DDD.
Instead of, “…still being processed…,” the IRS should change the message to say:
“We have received your return and it is waiting to be processed.” To me, “being processed” means there’s some action going on, but there wasn’t any action. They were waiting for me to IDV.

UPDATE: As of today I FINALLY got my ID verify letter in the mail it was sent out March 2nd and got it today. Sadly I don’t have any of that credit stuff to make an account so I need to call but it’s Saturday so now I need to wait until monday.

I filed on Feb 8 and I got a text and tt said accepted same day. Had the bar for a couple weeks then it disappeared. Called on march 2nd and was told first, that it wasn’t accepted until the 10th, and also I needed to fill out and send in form 8962. Does anyone have a fax number or an address to send this to since I did not receive a letter from IRS and I forgot to ask the lady that when I called? And also, does anyone know if it actually takes 6 to 8 weeks once they get my forms?

@DDDmePLS, I expect this Saturday WMR will update us with a DDD of 3/11.

If you get an IRS representative that’s disrespectful to you report complaints to the Treasury Inspector General (TIGTA). The telephone number is 1800-366-4484 and they take complaints seriously and will open a case against that representative for disciplinary action. Your in this situation because the IRS isn’t fulfilling its manning requirements to address the number of filers and there’s no reason why you should be waiting on the phone for hours and being mistreated.
-
If you get your refund be sure to give feedback to state representatives about your Tax Payer Bill Of Rights being violated https://www.irs.gov/taxpayer-bill-of-rights They need to know how long you waiting on the phone just to receive assistance and how Where’s my refund wasn’t providing update updates about refunds.

mine never went off “processing” last year after bars disappeared..and got refund same time all the other pathers did.
when I called them mon they told me “under review” for w2 verification.
That is a lie..my daughter works for the same people as I do and her mailing address is mine
she got her refund over 2 weeks ago…seems the IRS would have my employer part if they have hers -
@Big Country Really?

This is ridiculous. I’ve had the same job the same one kid the same everything for the past 10 years and this year I’m under a review for some reason. IDK whats going on.

@Randall, do not harden your heart.
I’m not “sweating the IRS”; I’m just really looking forward to their returning to me what they say lawfully belongs to me.
All supply does ultimately come from God, including that which the IRS forced me to “lend” to them first.

I filed both state and federal on 1/27 and was accepted same day. Received my state on 2/6. Federal still says being processed and haven’t received any letter. I checked my transcripts and the codes match up to the ones I had on last years which the 570 code was resolved the same day and I received my money four days later so I’m crossing my fingers this years the same and my money comes the end of this week.
-
When mine disappeared I immediately called the IRS and was told to call this week. I called today and was told I’m under a 60 day review and should be getting a letter dated for 3/14. They said it shouldn’t take 60 days but it could.

If you’re able to look at the pdfs of your transcripts daily do they actually update with current info about your refund? Where exactly would you see a change in your transcripts when they do finally approve and send your funds since a lot of people are saying that they’re not getting any kind of update on the where’s my refund website?

@Prince, same to you.

@ProudFatherOF1
Pour me a drink.
-
@ProudFatherOF1, I agree that it’s frustrating. I’m very frustrated, and this is very inconvenient, but I’m not going to let the delay destroy me. The IRS may be delaying sending me the money they’ve promised me, but it’s still God who supplies my need.
Eventually this will all be a memory.

Joseph
@jwapiennikWhy do you keep saying the same discouraging thing? I’ve read too many people posting here that they were informed they were under review and didn’t have to wait anywhere near 60 days for their DD.
-
@ProudFatherOF1
That means you’re in the 60 day review. Don’t expect refund until after April possibly longer.
-
@Gofigure, I think their whole system is stuck.
-
-
@🐝B🐝 So I gotta question? What does it mean when your WMR states…”your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available” msg? Is that for a review? Or does it mean it’s still processing?
@ProudFatherOF1, aren’t those two ways of saying the same thing? “Still being processed”/”under review”; neither statement is very informative.

When i filed it only ever said your return is being processed until after 2/15 then it went to we are still processing until i received the id letter then when i completed that by phone it went back to being processed although when i put my husbands info on wmr it says still, its very aggravating that people who filed before and after have gotten there refund and some even had to verify
-
-
I called on 2/18 and verified my 5071c my wmr changed in 3 days to being processed, hasnt changed since still waiting and i was accepted on 1/27 filed with tt and have both credits

@mango Well I was pulled for audit February 24th the same day I made the call to the IRS interesting due to wages being off. I hate them so much.
-
@Confused, did you move since filing? IRS sent my 5071C letter to my current address, which I included on my 2019 return. However, trying to get an account to view my transcripts requires using my former address, from my prior return.
There’s a form for change of address, but that takes weeks to process.

-
@stace87, the control number is a key that they generate, like when you request a password reset for an account. It’s not something that comes from your return, because that wouldn’t prove that the filer is you.
They send out the letter because they feel it’s a reasonable suspicion that someone is filing a return fraudulently in your name/identity, so they send the letter to you with the control number and ask you to provide them with information that only you should have — from your current and previous tax returns, as well as other personal information.
-
@Taylor
Do you know if the control number may have came from anywhere on your tax documents? I still have no letter, looks like I’m at a stand still till I go for my appointment Wednesday. -

1-800-829-0582 ext. 652 or 653.. Call Monday morning at 7am sharp.

I just was able to look at my transcripts now and they’re showing no information available but I’m actually able to look at the PD f’s of them but I’m not exactly sure what’s what. It looks like they’re showing the processing date for me is March 2nd. Is that the date they’re actually going to process the funds? If anybody can help me to decipher exactly what numbers or whatever I need to look for to find out exactly when I can expect my refund I’d really appreciate it.
-
.. forgot to mention that message still processing appeared.. so you see it’s not all bad ddd date March 4th. They’re just kinda slow this year

For those that didn’t update you are worried And freaking out but right now all you can litterly do is wait. Which is hard but I filed on 1/27 just got approved so I think they are litterly behind I would just wait till weds an next Saturday and if nothing changes then start calling but if you Google how long can IRS take to give refund it’s like 45days or something when they say 21 days or less it’s a timeline they want to stick to
-
-
Filed via TT on 2-15, accepted same day, one bar. Went to the dreaded “still processing” this Wednesday, lost my bar. Woke up to two bars with a DD date of 3-4. Keep your faith, at least things are moving along.
-
-
DDD for 3/4. Filed 1/30. 4464c sent 2/20. Updated today. I did call and ask to have review expedited due to hardship, but others with same letter send day who updated today did not

Hey @Rusty, Taylor is right! You will need 2018 and 2019 tax returns. The questions are extremely basic: like address, parents’ names, banking info and total expected refund amount. My verify phone call took no more than 10 minutes! Good luck!
-
-
-
-
-
@ddddd: no problem! The crazy thing is I filed on February 19th last year and received my returns on 3/4. Which is almost the exact same ddd for this year. Crazy how it took a less than 2 weeks to get my money last year…. but an entire month to receive it this year. I will never ever ever file early again! Lol please keep me updated on your progress! @ddddd
-
-
@thicks, call me crazy but if a rep is removing a freeze that’s allowing my return to finish processing: I consider that “processing my return”. We’re not here to get technical, so I will let the situation go lol.
Based on my experience, if you verified this week, you will receive a ddd next weekend! Good luck and *fingers crossed* 💕
-
@anxiousgirl, your user name is apt. I don’t blame you; I’m anxious, too. I wasn’t discrediting your post! I’m just saying I don’t think the person who help you with the ID verification process was “literally processing” your return, because the CSRs aren’t the people who process returns.
I’m saying all they do is remove the freeze. That’s a good thing. But then there’s still the FACTS of what the rep read from the script and what the letter says.
You shared your experience and I shared mine. I’m not out to get you.
Peace, I pray. And I also pray that everyone gets their refund sooner than they expect.
-
If you’re going to discredit someone’s post or experience, this place is not for you. We are all here to share our OWN experiences dealing with our tax returns. Nothing here is factual or 100% accurate. We are just sharing our experiences to help others.
-
@thicks, please don’t discredit my post. Obviously my rep did something because I got my ddd a week later after I verified. You don’t know anymore than the rest of us. Have a good day!
-
The letter contains a special code that will be used to verify you. I suggest calling to verify because the reps are literally processing your returns over the phone for you. Which means your return is not waiting in queue line to be processed. Hope that makes sense!
I called yesterday to complete my ID verification, and I’m 99% sure the rep is not “literally processing” your return. They’re a separate department. The only thing they process is the ID verification.
Besides that, the 5071C letter states it may take up to 9 weeks to get your refund after completing the process. While the rep I spoke to said it might not take that long, he can’t promise that it would be any sooner.

I ID verified 2/18, which was on a Tuesday Apologies for the confusion. I called and asked, was told that they sent me a letter. Got the letter on the 17th and called the next day.
-
-
Apparently you will get a letter in the mail telling you to ID verify. They certainly won’t tell you over the phone.:/

I verified last Tuesday and my ddd is 3/2!!! 🎊 Current wmr status says “return is being processed”
-
-
-

Still waiting to be processed when I filed on 1/27. The IRS is a joke.
-
To put your mind at ease:
Filed: 2/10 (accepted the same day)
WMR disappeared: 2/19 (still being processed; TT 152 link; no refund amount; transcripts
NA)
Transcripts ready: 2/27 (this morning; DD 3/3; full refund amount; WMR still showing “still
being processed”)
Filed status: Single
No EIC or education credits; private health insurance, itemized deductions -
Called IRS yesterday, she wasn’t sure why im “still processing” she said I most likely need to ID verify but wasn’t 100% sure and said to wait til the end of next week and to call back if I receive no letter til then or don’t get an update on WMR. Basically got told to wait for a possible letter that I may or may not get in the near future.

KB, I didn’t have time to call, the online process is very quick. Wish I would have found the time, but had so much to do that weekend!
Did you have to wait for a letter to do the ID verify?
-
-
It’s pretty bad that im probably waiting on a letter that’s taking forever to get here
-
@Taylor: omg Hi, I thought about you the other day! Thank you and so glad that you got the verification process out the way! You’re next to get that ddd! I’m just grateful that we only had to verify and not a full blown review! Those people definitely got the worst end of the stick.
-
-
@dddd Thank you! You’re definitely getting a ddd this Saturday!
-
@dddd: yes my wmr said the same thing after verifying. I verified on 2/18 early in the morning. I made sure to call because when you call over the phone, the reps are literally processing your returns on the spot. This has been the WEIRDEST tax season ever. So glad it’s almost over!
-
-
Filed 02/15, accepted same day. Had one bar, tax topic 152, your return is processing. Today We updated to Bar missing and your return “is Still processing”. Not good. Called and of course we have to wait out the full 21 days so calling back March 7th. Not good and starting to mimic two years ago when we finally got our refund in November. Will update Once I know which letter we are getting.
-
-
After a long journey of panic, frustration, and anxiety attacks…. I woke up to a DDD for 3/2/2020 on wmr!!! ❤️ Crazy thing is I had to ID verify on last Tuesday! It took about a week for me to receive a DDD. Another crazy thing is that I thought I was weekly!! I’m so happy and excited, I can cry! Thank you Jesus!! 🎊🎊

Question: why are people getting more info from their transcripts and not when they call the IRS? Fishy. 🧐
-
so my taxes are still saying “still being processed” blah blah. But Also my transcripts are finally available and it shows my amount and said a deposit date, which will be March 2nd. So I wonder if I should wait on calling the irs and just see what happens next week.

@manyo Awesome man! My significant other got her DD today as well.

This may explain some of the issues and why you are not getting the answers when you call IRS.

Refund delays, aging tech and confusing letters: Here are the top IRS challenges for taxpayers in 2020:
1. Customer service
2. Aging technology
3. Staffing
4. Refund delays
5. Free File frustrations
6. Untrained preparers
7. Appeals process
8. Few multilingual notices
9. Confusing audit letters
10. Settling tax debt -

@adarius I called the IRS Monday afternoon and they told me it was sent to errors department but they didn’t know why.
-
-
-
-
@anabanana Well at least your transcripts updated and you have a DDD date! Mine still says N/A on everything I don’t understand this nonsense.
-
-
@mango No update this morning but again I wasn’t expecting a miracle anyways.
-
-
What’s funny is that every different IRS agent you get ahold of will tell you something different.
Is it ID verify? Is it a number screw up? Your job didn’t file yet? It got flagged because you have EITC?
If it is any of these things, they should state it in the first letter they send that way people know how to correct it. I’m sick of this “just wait 60 days” crap. -
@mango Me too only time will tell but not getting my hopes up I’ve just been let down lol
-
-
-
@Taylor
Ugh I called instead they made me a appointment for march 4th to do my verify. I should of just showed up. Is wmr showing now processing instead of still processing? -

Filed 1/31 at hr block… accepted that day. Don’t know when the message changed to still processing but it still says that. Called irs today… lady told me my return wasn’t received until 2/13 I asked what the difference between processing and still processing was… she told me there is no difference. The “still” just means that was your update… you have been rebatched. So it’s 21 days from 2/13 and should be good by 3/5
-
@melyssa That makes sense however they were unable to confirm any errors that’s my issue. No letters sent from their end, no error codes, no request for more information, nothing. The irs agent felt bad for me literally and hoped it was resolved shortly. I have until March 23 to either get a letter, get approved and a DDD, or to call back and go further.
-
-
@adarius well at least you have knowledge of what you have to do the irs doesn’t know what they are doing apparently since mine has 0 errors or anything wrong according to them.
-

-
-

Did any of you receive a 1095a that you didn’t file?
-
@adarius Yup it is frustrating for sure. Lesson lestned for filing early.
-
-

@Taylor
I might do that as well tomorrow. I wonder if you have to have the letter with you? Do you have to make a appointment? -
-
-
I’m in same boat. Accepted 1/31 havent received my letter that has control number. Is there anyway around this to get the control number?

I wish that’s all I had Taylor but I’m not in that camp who knows.

@mango Me too man I really need the money this year as I’m buying a house and need the return money for down payment.
-
-
@mango I posted 2 updates down below.
-
-
-
@taylor You won’t see any transcripts until your return is actually processed per the IRS. I asked that question as well. So that’s normal. Also it only updates overnight. No need to check every few hours.
-
-
Another thing I also want to add, the IRS recommended to never send your return in day 1 and issues like mine can happen. She said mid February is a good time to submit. I understand people want their money etc I get it but if it avoids this nonsense that I’m going through, I choosing mid February moving forward.
-
@melyssa Ya she couldn’t even let me know if there was an actual error since that department isn’t even requesting any additional info yet or anything so the IRS rep can’t even tell me anything. It’s literally just still processing and to continue to check WMR for an update etc. So this kinda sucks but it is what it is.
-
-
-
UPDATE Part 2: Funny thing is she agreed this was off for me since I don’t show any issues with the return. No letters sent, no I’d verification, no nothing on the IRS side no bad codes nothing so the rep was a little confused herself. It literally is just still processing so she said to check daily and by March 23 to give a call back if I have not gotten a letter or a DDD by then. Interesting stuff.
-
UPDATE: So I just called and sat on hold for roughly 10 minutes so not too bad at all and the lady was super nice. So most of you know my situation as I filed on 1/27, accepted 1/27, had 1 bar TT 152 until 2/15 then lost the bar and went into still processing and a refund date will be provided when available. I gave the rep all my info and took a look and it was sent over to the Error Resolutions Department to be looked into.

@melyssa Can you see your transcripts at all?

@mandy I forget but when did you file and your situation? We’re me and you in the same boat? I filed 1/27 1 bar TT 152 until 2/15 then still processing since then no updates no letters yet etc.
-
-
-
-
-
-
@taxclay: I did the same thing with my defendant’s ssn and resubmitted and am in the same boat…letter 4464c.
-
-
So I had the above message, etc and got the letter 4464c, stating I’m under 60 day review. I asked for them to expedite a manual review due to hardship.
They said I have to call back on February 28th because they sent it on the 20th. Does anyone know why I have to wait over 7 days before i can file for the hardship accommodation? Please tag me if you respond.

@asia Hmm well I only have two W-2s which I’ve had for the past several years so I don’t know if that’s my holdup or not no idea.
-
-
-
@mandy I am in the same boat as well. Very frustrating to say the least! My guess is though since the transcripts are N/A it means we just are still processing. No letters yet no bad codes nothing. Just a waiting game.
-
-
-
@julie Well at least you are able to view your transcripts see I cannot even ire mine they all say N/A and the wage one says No Record of Return Filed so I don’t know what to think.
-
-
-
@julie What was your criteria just curious? When did you file what credits etc. now your making me nervous.
-
-
@julie Fair enough well until I get a letter or something on WMR of even a damn transcript since all are N/A I guess there really isn’t anything I can do.
-
-
@jeremy I’m surprised he even got through I just tried calling again and some answer they are too busy to take my call.
-
-
@rusty what number did you call?
-
-
@Jeremy I just tried calling and “due to extremely high call volume, we are unable to take your call at this time” wow lol
-
-
@jeremy Did you call then and get in touch with someone? I was thinking of calling myself but if you already called no real need for me to call.
@mango Hopefully man i want the damn money.
-
-
-
-
@mango Checked this morning and still same message. No update. Kind of wasn’t expecting an update but still just keeping others informed.
-
-
@cher Ya it looks like we just simply have not been processed yet. I guess the earlier we filed the farther we got pushed back. Lesson learned.
-
just to add after losing bar it now says: your tax return is still being processed a refund date will be provided when available
-
-
ChrisC mine is the same as yours . Accepted 1/31 with both credits . Had 1 bar and 152 tt and NA on all transcripts wage says no return . On Thursday wmr lost bar lost tt 152 still NA on all transcripts . So Thursday I called IRS he checked my account and said my refund has not been processed yet . He said IRS didn’t start processing EIC until after holiday on 2/18

@Jeremy I filed 1/27 and accepted 1/27. Was 1 bar TT 152 then 2/15 went to 0 bars and lost TT 152 and now I’m on “Your Tax Return is still being processed, A Refund date will be provided when available .” I didn’t catch the big update yesterday like many others, all transcripts are N/A except Wage transcript which just shows “No Returns have been filed.”
@Mango If I do not get something by next Saturday you think I need to call?
-
-
-
@Mango Well I guess hopefully this week is the week we finally get some info I mean I am not alone in this as compared to many others on here so lets just hope they get their act together and ship that money.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
@mango Me too man I won’t ever be filing early anymore this is stupid.
-
-
@mango me too me apparently the govt hates me this year all I do is pay pay pay man and get fucked if you want your money back early.
-
-
-
@impatientlywaiting I had TT152 until 2/15 then I lost TT152 along with the 1 bar so who knows. But my guess is that since the transcripts are all N/A I haven’t been processed yet.
-
-
@impatientlywaiting the only thing I did not have was path I forgot to add that but I hope your right. I mean no letters to my house no error codes everything N/A on transcripts just assumes I just haven’t been processed yet which is annoying but who knows.
-
-
Do you think I’m okay if mine still says “ processing “ with no error code ?
-
@impatientlywaiting I am literally in the same exact boat as you except filed 1/27.
-
@karri
There most likely is something that’s not matching up according to the irs 570 is a freeze and if you were a pather that lifted on the 18th in the system so your being help for another reason could be minor could be major if its major you’ll get a take action letter sooner or later or it may just fix itself by the next update I’d keep an eye out best wishes🙏
-
@minor So I filed on 1/27, accepted 1/27 and was 1 bar TT 152 until 2/15 then lost the 1 bar and lost TT 152 and now says “Your tax return is still being processed, a refund date will be provided when available.” So no error codes, no letters received at my residence, all transcripts are N/A so I’m assuming I just haven’t been processed yet. Mango was in the same boat and got updated Saturday so I think it’s just a waiting game.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

Anyone know when they will update it again ? Mine still says processing.

@Mango, thank you! I’m a few days after you, so hopefully I’ll see something this week.

Filed/Accepted 02/02
1 Bar – TT152
EIC & ACTC (but never received a path message on WMR)My status changed sometime between 7pm & midnight (EST) 02/20 to no bars & no tax topic. All info (including refund amount) still on left hand side of screen.
On 02/21 the tax topic is back.
Ordered transcript today 02/22 but hoping this is resolved before I receive them. Should I order them daily just in case?
Thank you for letting me rant & any answers are appreciated!!
-
@Mango What is considered early? I filed/accepted 02/02, is that early?
-
-
-
-

What does “as of” date mean on your transcripts??

WMR updated this morning for me. DDD of 2/26. I am a PATHer though. If you’re a PATHer & didn’t get updated today or you’re a non-PATHer, it wouldn’t hurt to call the IRS on Monday. Some PATHers may not update until next weekend, depending on your filing date… because this was the first batch of refund approvals for us.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Yes a lot of us early filers were re sequenced so I’m just tryna stay in high hopes that my acceptance date was pushed back. Ima wait one more week & if nothing I will be calling this is ridiculous!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
@chris Same! Accepted on 1/14 still no bar no transcripts and no movement.
-
-
Same exact thing here, but I also recvd a 4446C letter. Filed 2/3. Recvd ltr 2/18 or 19. Some ppl are saying if you have EIC or the child tax credit then we won’t get ours until March and supposedly that ltr was only sent to notify us of the delay, but if that were the case…why not just give a date instead of sending a letter that says it could be 60 days b4 we get a refund. Not sure anyone really has an answer. Just a waiting game…
-
-
-
-
-
-
I updated today bars back DDD 2/26
I believe if you filed your refund after 2/12 you will be processed in the next batch on SATI also took screen shots of each stage with dates for next year so we are not panicky lol
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Filed on 2/6 bars went away a couple of days later with tax topic 152. Checked today DDD 2/26. Stay strong Pray and trust guys it will all workout!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Filled 1/31, accepted 2/1. Path. WMR bars disappeared 2/14. I updated a couple hours ago saying DDD 2/26. TaxAct in case that matters.
Thanks to the fact that I changed my number and the IRS website made me create a new account, and now with my changed number (same carrier, in the US and not prepaid) the website can’t verify me without mailing the stupid code, I can’t get my transcripts so no codes to go off of. I’ve just been sitting and waiting.

@Romero32
My situation is almost exactly like yours.l, except I filed with Taxact. I filed 1/11 accepted 1/15(test batch) filed self employed with one qualified dependent. WMR bars was gone on 2/15 with “we have recieved your return and it is being processed” with no tax topic. I called IRS today and they gave me DDD of 2/26. Hope this helps.

1/31/20 Filed and accepted the same day.
2/8/20 All my bars went missing, still being processed and TTC 152. Also Refund amount disappeared. Transcripts black N/A. No error codes.
2/21/20 Checked WMR and no update. However, transcripts are finally available and shows refund deposited date 2/26/20. Yay!!!!! -
Anyone else not able to check their transcripts because the IRS can’t verify your phone number? So you mean to fucking tell me that if I have pre paid you just can’t verify it??? But you can verify my SS, my adress, my DOB, my literal credit card info and my legal name. FUCK the irs man, I need my money now

If u have still processing with no topic code it’s because the EITC credits were not processing until today for weekly filers I was told this morning

Hello. I have almost direct number. I called no hold. 800.829.0582. don’t push any buttons. When it asks for extension put in 652. Good luck. It seems that people who filed in February are getting theirs before January filers. I’m crushed! 😔

2017, the processing date on my transcript was 3/6.
2018, the processing date was 2/19.
2019, the processing date was 2/11.
This year, the processing date is 2/17.Each year, I received my refund on 2/22.
What does that mean for me? :-)

It was an ID verification for me. Have to wait for the letter.

This has been the weirdest tax season. Why are so many people getting ID verified this year? Doesn’t make any sense at all. I feel this is some sort of stall tactic that the IRS is starting to use. Darn it
-
Hey guys, I have “your return is being processed” and just received my id verify letter today. What kind of questions do they ask and how long did it take to receive your funds?? So ready to get this tax season over with. It’s been the worst 😩

I filed on 1/22 and was of course accepted the same day. Friday or Saturday I noticed my bar was gone. I got the “still being processed” message. All my stuff is on the side. Started out with the 152 code, now i have none. I realize they said they weren’t going to start processing those until after the 15th, but the whole missing bar messed with me a bit. Any suggestions on how long I could expect to wait? And do I now have to wait another 21 days until I can call them?
Thanks in advance -

@chantrelle
Same here so know you’re not alone! If my theory is correct we should get an update sometime between Wednesday and Sunday morning.

-

-
-
-
-
-
-
UPDATE: My transcripts has the 846 code but no ddd beside it. Finally got a valid IRS rep to tell me that although I have the 846 code, the reason there is no ddd is because they sent me an id verify letter. She said my return was approved but can’t be released until after I verify. WTF
-
-
-
-
-
-
Got the “still processing” message for over 1.5 weeks now. Called IRS this morning. Randomly selected for ID verification. MUST HAVE LETTER in order to verify. I had them resend the letter just in case for some odd reason I don’t receive the first letter. GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!
-

My bars vanished as of this morning. That’s a first.

I just did some digging on the forum, and alot of PATHers with the “being processed” on WMR got updated via transcripts with 846 on 2-22-19(friday) of last year with a deposit date of 2-27 (wednesday).
The WMR system updated 2-22 with DDD of 2-27-19.
IF that pattern stays true for this year, alot of us will see an update on 2-21 via transcript, or 2-22 via WMR this year, with a deposit date of 2-26.
-
-

1/28 Filed Return;
1/28 Return Accepted;
1/31 Bars disappeared and replaced with “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.”;
2/15 Tax transcript became available and indicated refund will be deposited on Feb 20;
2/16 WMR Bars returned indicating that Return was accepted and approved;
2/16 Relieved, cautiously optimistic.Notes: No error or other relevant tax codes suggesting delay indicated on Transcript.

“Still being processed” does NOT always mean that you are being reviewed or audited. More often than not, it means just what it says. Last week alot of people on here had that same message and guess what, they now have DDD’s. The updates to WMR have been all over the place this year, mine included. The 21 days started 1\27, no matter when you filed. You can try calling and seeing if you can find out anything, maybe that will help alleviate some of the stress. I filed 1\21, accepted 1\22 had one bar up until 2\9. I lost my bars and went to “return received and being processed”. 2\15 updated to PATH message, 2\16 updated to “received your return and it is being processed”. I may update again tonight but probably not. I’ve been on this site for several years and I also research the previous years forums to see what was happening then. Everyone’s tax situation is different. Some may have had the “still being processed” and received a letter or notice but that doesn’t mean it happens to everyone who gets that update.
-
-
-
-
@frenchy don’t forget “is being processed” is different from “is still processing”
-
-
@kristen “is being processed” is normal and it means your refund is processed, awaiting final approval, and then you’ll get a ddd

Okay. I’m posting here because I don’t want you all to freak out. It’s all good for most of you.
Following are two official post from the IRS and Turbo tax. Make sure to READ them and understand them.
IRS
“Taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit may experience a refund hold. According to the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, the IRS cannot issue these refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the first EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards by the first week of March, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return. Check Where’s My Refund for your personalized refund date.WMR on IRS.gov and the IRS2Go app will be updated with projected deposit dates for most early EITC/ACTC refund filers by February 22. So EITC /ACTC filers will not see an update to their refund status for several days after Feb. 15.
The IRS, tax preparers and tax software will not have additional information on refund dates, so Where’s My Refund? remains the best way to check the status of a refund. Where’s My Refund? is only updated once daily, usually overnight, so you don’t need to check the status more often.”
TURBO TAX
“Tax topic 152:
This tax topic provides general information about the IRS processing of returns. If the IRS needs more information from you, they will follow up by a letter sent to you, there is no need for concern when you see this particular topic.
Tracking status:
The messages and bars on the Where’s My Refund site change all of the time; and sometimes the same message is displayed continuously, or the bars do sometimes disappear entirely.”Also the IRS sends out letters to anyone that they need information from with in 5-10 business days. It’s a statute they must follow.
With this being said this is for PATHERS. (EIC etc)
But if you filed a normal return all you need to do is find your accepted date (not the day you filed) and go ten business days from that date. If you have received no letter you should be fine. All this information is from the IRS site and Turbo Tax.
I did allot of reading so you poor people wouldn’t lose any sleep!
-
FYI: Returns may not get updated until Tuesday 18th 2020. Usually WMR tool updates at 3am but because its Sunday and the WMR is down until 7pm eastern time and Monday is a Holiday, it most likely you will not get an update until Tuesday after 3am. Hope this helps.

@ncmike same boat except I filed/accepted jan 30th.
One transcript says no file on record but I believe that one updates upon final processing.
This morning on wmr everything disappeared except saying we have received your tax return and it is being processed. I’ve been following comments on here since it started and from what I can gather, we should be updated this week completely. Fingers crossed! -
For the first time ever 2 weeks ago my wmr disappeared, and STILL being processed. I was just patient and kept checking, and yesterday they finally reappeared with a DDD of Feb 20.. don’t know what it’s about. Filed 1,21. Accepted 1,27

@ChrisC my one bar disappeared last Saturday and it has not updated from “Still Being Processed” please let my know if yours changes I will do the same

Hey guys just an update: I’ve so far had the “still processing” message for 3 weeks now. I just received my transcripts this morning and they are BLANK! Literally filed my taxes on 1/22 and accepted 1/27. I think Still processing means exactly what it says…. your return hasn’t even started processing or it’s not finished.
-
-
-
-
@chrisc kinda same situation !! Filled 1/12 accepted 1/14 on 1/27 got one bar on WMR then about one week later it changed to “your return is still being processed..*then in small print under it* a refund date will be provided when available. My amount is still shown & I didn’t claim EIC/SCHOOL/Dependents so it was an less complex return & still NA on transcripts & no return filed. However no letters yet!! Or codes!!! Btw filled with turbo tax. Ughhhhhhh

@ beccab hey hun & yes I’ve been concerned maybe I need to do an ID verification but once again no letter yet & IRS isn’t showing that they sent a letter out which is keeping me in high hopes. Tonight we should see a change in our WMR or transcripts if not I’m DEFINITELY calling first thing Monday ( closes sat-sun) this is annoying only because I filled EARLY and I don’t have any EIC or children to claim. Ughhhhhhhhh .
-
-
Same thing here. Lost bars and TT152. All my info is still on the left. I have educational credits and ACTC.
Are you able to view transcripts?
-
-
I also was reading us early filers majority of us WAS NOT ACCEPTED on the 27th but rather the 5/6th…. despite what Turbo Tax or whoever you used said. & also us early filers all have the same in common…..no bar , “still being processed” & no transcripts. I was reading up and they said we should have an update on the 15th but the biggest WMR update will happen on the 22nd. So worse case everyone just wait it out. I filled and was accepted on 1/14 yet my status has been the same and transcripts still state N/A .
-
-
-
-
Again, I had this happen to me last year. Bar disappears, I get the still processing message…in my case my return amount disappeared as well, then a few days later the bar returns. Maybe a few days later I went to two bars and a DDD date. I really do believe it just means that your return has gone into the hopper to be processed and things are starting to move. Don’t worry until you get a message telling you to worry. :-)

Bars still gone on WMF however, just like most of you, I now have updated transcripts with an 846 Refund issued date of 2/20!
Any with an 846 should see their status change on WMR tomorrow morning to Approved with that same DDD :)
-
-
-
-
-
-
FWIW, I had this happen to me last year toward the end of my wait for my refund. I think it just means things are now moving along. I wasn’t asked to provide any info, and a couple days later I returned to one bar, then maybe a day later two bars. So I wouldn’t take it as a sign of anything to worry about until there’s something to worry about. :-)
And today I lost my bars so I’m guessing it’s just kicked along.
-
-
My bars disappeared on 02/13. Checked my 2019 transcripts which are not there yesterday. I checked this morning and my transcripts finally updated. I have a DDD of 2/20. I don’t claim EIC or ACTC.
Hope this helps. Good luck everyone.

B-Mac, furthermore, I clearly said I didn’t know anything about the app flagging you genius! I was actually commenting to Lawson when I made that comment to be fair.
You wanna argument take it up the road, I’m simply telling YOU and everyone based on MY personal experiences!
If ya don’t like that, then don’t worry about it, but don’t call someone a liar when they share their experience and knowledge, or better yet, don’t believe me and don’t take my word for it and by all means call them repeatedly and ask questions! Please do that! -
-
Hey B-Mac,
Yes to be as a matter of fact I’m highly aware of what I’m talking about!! I called the IRS every damn day in 2018, UNTIL the agent advised me that if I continued calling it would further flag my account!
I don’t post lies, everything I share is through first hand information or I believe it to be the truth based on what I’ve seen happen to others! Why would it not flag an account, if you’re expecting thousands of dollars, and you call them constantly asking questions and updates, when your account has already been flagged by them for other reasons??? Common sense!
I didn’t know any better at the time, and so I called them regularly trying to find out information. It’s Best to not bring attention to yourself, end of!!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
@Ez,
Yes it’s very true IF they ask for your information to pull up your account it can be flagged! They also note your account every time you call them!
As for accessibility to WMR through app or website will get you flagged, I’m not sure. But to many calls and bringing to much attention to yourself is a BAD thing! After so many calls it automatically flags you by their system. Yes true story, just call and ask!

If you look through the countless forums on Facebook and online, the mass majority of filers has either PATH or “still processing”. There’s no way the IRS will decide to audit all of us at the same time. Do you guys know how much time and how much further behind that would put the IRS? Not even including the work load. It just does not make sense logically. Let’s think with our head and not our emotions people.

@Tiffany
That law went into effect 5 years ago. Most pathers already know that their refunds are held until the 15th of February. Most on this thread have no bars showing on WMR. Some maybe pathers, some may not be. Thank you for posting the info though. -
-
-
-
@ Will Street
Thank you for posting the same topic. It’s maddening to see so many post telling people that losing hard is “bad thing”. Every situation is different but I will do agree with you, this happens every year and it is common. -
I am going to post this again. Losing bars is something that happens EVERY YEAR. It does NOT mean that something is wrong with your return. Your return could be going through the processing step and your WMR and transcripts will update this week. Yes, there are some who lose bars and will receive a letter but that does NOT mean that that is what is happening with EVERYONE who lost the bars. I’ve seen several post the past couple days and people are saying “if your bars are gone, you’re being reviewed, audited, etc, etc” Those kind of post scare the hell out of people and it’s just wrong to do. As I said, this happens every year and for most there is nothing wrong, just being processed.
And yes, I lost my hard during the update Sunday night. I have the “still processing” message with my refund amount showing and TT152. I am a pather and have not received that message at all.

My mother’s friend works for the IRS and has so for 12 years. She told my mom that ALL LETTERS (so far) HAVE BEEN SENT OUT BY THE IRS. My mom told her how I’ve been so nervous and she told me to calm down, if I haven’t received a letter than I’m fine.
Just thought I would share. I totally forgot my mom’s friend works for the IRS. Silly me.
* don’t know how true this statement is, just thought I would share.

Hey guys, For those of you who filed early in January AND had marketplace insurance. I spoke with a friend today who is in the same boat, filed early in January, accepted 1/21, NO EIC NO ACTC and had bars disappear , replaced with the STILL processing message, well they just rec’d their IRS letter 12C for Marketplace Insurance today. No transcripts, so sorry can’t tell you about codes, but it’s been about 21 days since they were accepted
if this sounds familiar, then this could be the reason for your hold up, Hoping this helps clear anxiety for those of you with a similar processing pattern. Good luck and I’ll keep you posted on their progress and timelines.

That does make perfect sense for the bars to disappear, that’s why a lot of us in Path get the message when we file early and the bars eventually go away.
I hope everyone’s bars return and you all get a very stress free tax season!!

I lost my bars yesterday. Same tax situation as last year, basically the same return. FIled with Turbotax software. No EIC no ACTC. It appears the missing bars mean we are under review for some reason. Could be something simple and the bars will return in a couple days with a DDD or could be that the IRS needs more paperwork. Either way, they can’t promise we will get our refunds in the 21 day window so they removed the bar. All we can do is wait for a letter or a DDD, which ever comes first. It sucks, but we are kinda at the mercy of the reviewer and his work load and how fast he can manually process/correct the returns that are sent the them.

Are there any out there that have had their bars removed and re-appeared to approved yet? Many on here will finally see that they are approved and then “see ya next year” without updating everyone else. No blame to those that do that, I’ve done the same! I will keep you guys posted however this year to let you all know when it updates.

Folks, this happened to me last year. Ended up I got an ID verification letter in the mail. I did that online and finally my refund was issued 6 weeks later. The IRS agents could never tell me why I had to ID. Sorry to say the majority of you will have your refunds delayed. I have heard horror stories of some folks getting the refund as late as Sept. Best of luck.

This happens every year to alot of people. I have been on this site for about 8 years and it happens. For most, its just that your return is being processed and will update soon. I lost my bars this past sunday night with the update. Filed 1/21, accepted 1/22. But please know, the 21 days does NOT start until the IRS officially opens, which was 1/27. If you call, they will go out 21 days from 1/27 and if you are a Pather, they wont look at anything until after the 15th. It is maddening, just trying to help by passing this info on.

I had one bar since it was accepted. I filed on 1/22, accepted 1/23. This morning bars disappeared and says “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available”. I started worrying a bit when I saw that but now see it has happened to many yesterday and this morning. Maybe issue with website, glitch, too much traffic on the website. I don’t think we should worry too much about this, yet anyway.
-
I changed over night to no bars with the still processing message. I recall the same last year. I don’t suspect it’s a hold or anything. I still have zero transcripts and waiting on my OH state refund.

People should relax and let the IRS do their job. It’s still early in tax season, and everyone knows that early filers always get the worst of the bunch.
I’m just thankful for the nice representative who told me what my hold up was and what was causing the “still processing” message.
If it’s hurting you so bad (like it did me), it doesn’t hurt to give it a try and call.

I don’t think anyone should worry until they receive a letter or a code. It appears the worst thing these statuses mean is you need to submit added documentation or verify something. Not the worst thing in the world that the government wants to protect our money. Best case scenario appears to be poof your bars return with a DDD. Let’s all update here once we find out.
-
There appears to be a lot of people with no bars, some have amount and no TT, others have TT and no amount. I think we just need to wait until some people follow-up and there is a consensus with what it means. Please update everyone on your progress.

I had the exact same issue last year. More than likely most people will received an ID verification letter. That is what happened to me. It delayed my return 6 weeks and there was no issue with my return. The IRS was never able to tell me why i had to ID. This year I filed 1/27 and everything updated on 2/7 with a DDD of 2/12.

So, I put my pride aside and called the IRS just now. I talked a lady and she actually looked into my account. She noticed that my address was different from last year, so she updated my address. She also noticed that I had education credits.
She said that the IRS is holding some education credits until the Feb 15, and at this moment that’s why I’m receiving the “still processing” message.
She gave me a disclaimer that anything can change between now and after my 21 days is up, but at this moment the education credit is what’s “currently” holding my return at a stand still.I was so shocked yet relieved that she actually took the the time to look into my account and relay so much information to me.
** Just wanted to give some insight, in case someone is in the same situation as me. Have a good day everyone ❤️
(I have no child or EITC credits. Just income and education) -
Disclaimer: just realized I have a lot of typos in my last post. Please disregard those, as I was typing while finishing a bowl of oatmeal. Lol

@Taylor, I wouldn’t panic unless you receive a letter in the mail or a “Take Action”’code on your WMR portal. Majority of people have this “still….” message and there’s no way that there is something wrong with everyone’s returns.
From a logical stand point, I feel that the IRS had a massive amount of early filers this year and just simply was not ready. That’s why some people who have filed later are already getting deposit dates, because the IRS backlogged or resquenced the ones that filed early.
I’ve never filed this early ever. I normally file around mid Feb and would always get my returns back in exactly 2 weeks. But because I filed early, with the majority… I feel that my return has been basically lost in a pile it resequenced for a later date.
My analogies are only assumptions, but based on my observations and taking to other people, I believe this is exactly what is happening. SMH

Hi guys, the IRS accepted my returns on 1/27 and a few days later my bars disappeared. Here it is 2/10 and my bars still have not came back, but I also have not received a letter in the mail so I’m highly confused and aggravated at this point.
I’m in various forums on line and majority of people’s bars are missing. There’s no way that the IRS will have millions of us ID verify at the same time.
I’m praying that I receive some type of update this week, since next Monday marks 21 days for me. This is my first time filing this early, and now I regret it. I’ve never ran into these types of issues before.
-
@Ric
No, I haven’t received it. My bars disappeared overnight last night. I did go back to last year’s thread about this same topic, most people in that thread lost their bars for a week, some longer. Then there was an update and they had their DDD. I know from being here for a couple years, that losing bars is not always a bad thing. I guess I just wait for the next update. I am a Pather and that hold doesn’t lift until the 15th, so I may have an update next Monday or Tuesday. -

Filed and accepted 1\21, never received the Path message as I did in years past. Was able to order both transcripts through the mail, over a week ago. Both blank, as I expected. I have been a weekly for several years, I updated Saturday nights. This year I updated overnight, Sunday night. My bars are gone and I still have TT 152. I know my 21 days is today, so I am thinking that is why I have had this happen. I know from being on this website for about 8 years, that losing bars is not always a bad thing. It seems to happen alot and there is no rhyme or reason.

So if I updated to the Path message today does that mean I’m weekly or daily???
I’m wondering the same thing because that happened to me, and the “expected refund” amount is gone, but I got my transcript online, and it’s showing the amount, but tax topic 152, with 2 others that are basically irrelevant.
-
-
Last 2 years, I notice those that had the word “STILL” had to ID verify. Praying your returns go through smoothly

KateNN,
There are daily and weekly. There really isn’t more of one then the other from what I can tell. However, there’s people like myself that have been both over the years.
Your transcripts can actually update more than once a day. Like yesterday, many people said in the morning they were blank and by evening they had codes and dollar amounts.
The only thing consistent with the IRS is that they are very inconsistent!
-
Updated to the Path message this morning!!! $$$

Losing bars is usually a bad sign folks. But sometimes they go and come right back. Fingers crossed for you all!!

This happened to me 2 years ago. I had moved and forgot to update my address. PIN Verification was sent to the wrong address, and it delayed my tax return. I ended up having to file a paper return in order to change my address.

This is completely normal if you claim EIC or ACTC. Expect an update after the 15th. The 15th is a Saturday though and many of us update weekly (on Saturday) so who knows what will happen. As long as WMR doesn’t say “Take Action” you should be at ease.

Not exactly, it’s normal if it goes down and comes right back up within 24 hours. Mine went down and hasnt came back up. I just got a letter in the mail from the IRS wanting me to send a copy of my 1095a and form 8963(i think) cause I didn’t file it with my tax return cause turbo tax is dumb and never prompted me to file it. Plus I was dumb and filed as soon as I got my w2 instead of waiting to see if i had anything else to file. But pretty much if you had marketplace healthcare and you didnt file a 1095a on your taxes then that would be one reason why your bars are gone. If you didn’t have government crap healthcare then more than likely its just an id verification

Yes happened to me lastnight at 12 midnight..1 bar dissapeared but it was updated this morning with 2 bars and ddd date
-

Happened to me last year. Had one bar for about a week. Disappeared about a week later with the error message your return is still being processed and a DDD will be provided when processed. About a week to ten days later I get the ID verification letter. Did all that and did not get my Refund until the first of April. Hope that does not happen to anyone this year. There were NO MISTAKES on my return
-
the no bars thing is an old hat lol..its very common and happens every year. No worries folks. They are just processing your return. We all just need to be patient. I need my money like yesterday lol..but nothing we can do.
