Amen Taxonomy! That’s awesome! More need to do exactly that!

[Crystal]

Thanks jimmy! That’s a big help. I’m hoping for that exact situation.

[Anonymous]

I was accepted the 6th and 90% of those on that thread for the dates of 6,7,8,9, a lot already have their DDD and a bunch also got their refunds today, if you can believe it. However there is that 10% which of course I’m a part of, lucky me, that don’t have anything except one bar and zeroed out transcripts. I am thankful at least that 2014 is there though, a lot don’t have it available yet. As the info is going, once you can see 2014 it’s being processed. I’ve seen people process only a day or two and I’ve seen folks sit with zeros for a week or so.

I’m comparing the last 3 years of transcripts and they show pretty much exactly as you noticed for yours. It’s been just under 2 weeks for me and I also have Netspend. They get it to me at least the day before, if not 2days and always between 10-11 am Arizona time. (We don’t observe any sort of DST, only state that doesn’t)

I hope you get the info you want and soon! Tonight!

[Stephanie]

I had a ddd for 2/12…..but thanks to taxact and power pay… I have yet to get a card. So frustrated

[BartD]

tim u should get you refund wednesday dont worry about the rest

dante3 its showing that it was updated just not completed so you should have an update of everything soon with a ddd of next week if everything goes according

pikkin wow you just have to keep calling until u get that hold completely removed these reps are a joke… dont give up

mememememe keep calling as well until u get someone that will give u a real answer i know its annoying but without knowing the letter we dont know what the problem is

[Kristi]

Anybody else with a DDD of 2/17 get theirs yet?

[Tim]

My cycle date says 20150605 but I had mine DD does anyone know when I will receive it I have codes 150 806 766 768 and 846 refund issued 03-02-2015 what does this mean also account balance and accrued are all 0.00

[Anonymous]

You know what Roger? I needed that! Thanks! Sometimes all it takes to relieve a little stress is an unexpected good laugh!

People are getting their refunds without WMR ever updating. My sister has no bars and when she called yesterday they said you’re all good! It’s coming tomorrow! Of course they said her bank may hang on a couple days, but that’s neither here nor there. All I’m saying is wmr is not the authority to go on. Thankfully.

I would trust transcripts over wmr. If you can see 2014 but they’re all 000’s they’re processing them, if you do have figures there you can tell what’s going on with it by the codes listed. Even though IRS says you can’t and it’s a social media myth, that’s bs. Their handbook says what the codes mean and confirm the 846 refund issue code and the breakdown of cycle dates. Such conflicting info

[Tiffany]

My dd was 2/11/15 , still no refund . War has all three bars but nothing recieved . I’ve been hearing it will drop Tuesday . Frustrated as well …

[Anonymous]

Thanks guys.. Would someone now please tell me how to read this transcript… I see the transcript codes.. 150 806 766 768 846 841 and 971.. So how do I know which to go by?? . They are in that order.. I’m so lost.. I just want the refund to come so I can pay these bills!! ☺

[Tim]

my cycle date says 20150605 but i had mine DD does anyone know when i will receive it i have codes 150 806 766 768 and 846 refund issued 03-02-2015 what does this mean

[curiouser2]

This may brighten our spiritsa bit thru this “Waiting ony Refund” season…ladt year i filed and was accepted 1/31/14, a Friday. I used turbotax. No change from 1/31 until the moring of saturday, Feb. 8th. I got my DDD for Wed. feb12. I use Netspend so my money was in my account by 7 pm the night before- Tues the11th.
This year. I filed and was accepted Wed Feb 4……no change and its friday night. Hoping i wake tomorrow to a DDD!
Once it starts to happen, it finishes fairly fast.
What are your experiences this year filing on or around Feb. 4?

[Cynthia]

Janice –

Thank you for this info! I will be very grateful to see a Mail date 2/17 on wmr tomorrow morning and receive it Friday 2/20. :)

I hope you get yours soon! I will keep you posted. Thank you!

[Janice]

Cynthia – right! But I don’t go by those numbers. The reason I said 2-17 was because someone else updated and had a 3-2 issue date and her mail date is 2-17. Those numbers are just a general date – doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ten days before. Many people had 2-23 refund issue date and theirs were mailed 2-11 or 2-10. I just ended up in the 2-13 bunch.

[Cynthia]

Janice –

Didn’t you say that your transciprt said refund issued 2/23?
but mail date is 2/13.

If mine says 3/2.. I think that means Tuesday, 2/24 that’s the day they will mail it out or I should receive it by then?

I called the treasury early, still too early, IRS hasn’t sent them the funds for them to generate a check..

Sorry for all the questions. Hopefully tomorrow WMR will show me a mail date.

Thanks! :)

[Anonymous]

Ya know… I wouldn’t even mind if my refund was after 2/18 (which is the 21 day mark) as long as I knew when to expect my refund.

[Timothy]

my cycle date says 20150605 but i had mine DD does anyone know when i will receive it i have codes 150 806 766 768 and 846 refund issued 03-02-2015 what does this mean

[brad]

I stay in alabama and my mail date was on the 10th. I never got a ddd cuz it was rejected by the bank. But im sure it wouldve been the 6th

[firstjustme]

Brandon,
Not sure what you mean. You cannot access your transcripts or ??….can you explain a little more and could you access them before??

[firstjustme]

The manual says a code 766 is…IRS TOP Offset reversal w/OTN, Not exactly sure if that is that you owed an offset and they took it or if they took it and were not supposed, so they have to put it back…..I will see if I can find out more info

[dante3]

Bart, thanks for all your time and hard work, so my transcript updated this morning from 570/971 to 571 action on account completed with date 03/02/2015 and 846 refund issued with same date as 571…my cycle date is still at 20150505 but WMR still say still process and refund date will be available & Income and Wage Transcript is saying no returned filed…is all this normal? when should be the Ideal DDD

[punkrox13]

I haven’t gotten my new netspend card yet. My refund has been deposited but I have an old netspend card that’s active. Can they transfer my funds to that card? I’m so frustrated. It was shipped on the 9th.

[Brandon]

I went online to check my transcript and nothing shows up?

[Jerry]

I had the samd problem left out the first number on my account number for direct deposit. My DD date was 02/04/15 still nothing. Shoukd I call or just wait for the rejection process too play out. I am worried about it going into someone elses account….. I bank through Higherone believe its Wexbank

[taxonomy]

This is from the irs dot gov/Refunds/Tax-Season-Refund-Frequently-Asked-Questions an sounds very much like “no bars means under review”. But we know they aren’t being completely forthcoming here as people have seen bars disappear after being approved, and have gotten transcripts with cycle codes they could predict their DD from when there were no bars. So even the best information is somewhat, meh.

All I’m trying to say is don’t lose hope! I have abandoned all mine. It’s too late, the damage is done, I’m in repair mode now and will never count on a return again. For me, hope is the enemy of peace. But that’s just me

Does Where’s My Refund always display my refund status with the tracker showing three steps?
No. In some cases the tracker graphic will not be shown if your return is being reviewed prior to step two: “Refund Approved,” and instead an explanation or instructions will be provided depending on the situation. This can happen even if you previously checked Where’s My Refund and it showed the status as “Return Received” along with the tracker. In these cases be assured that we have your tax return and we are processing it. Please follow the directions provided by Where’s My Refund?. Otherwise if we need more information we will contact you – usually by mail. If we send you a letter about your return, please follow the instructions in the letter as soon as possible.

Will ordering a transcript help you determine when you’ll get your refund?
No, a tax transcript will not help you determine when you will get your refund. This is among the common myths and misconceptions that are often repeated in social media. The codes listed on tax transcripts do not provide any early insight into when a refund will be issued. The best way to check on your refund is by visiting “Where’s My Refund?” While transcripts include a lot of detailed information regarding actions taken on your account, the codes do not mean the same thing for everyone and they do not necessarily reflect how any of these actions do or do not impact the amount or timing of your refund. IRS transcripts are best and most often used to validate past income and tax filing status for mortgage, student and small business loan applications and to help with tax preparation.

[LASHanda]

Thanks Burt. Good looking!

[mary]

filed 2/4 accepted 2/5 bar still has not moved called irs they said could take 21 days nothing is in the way of me getting it but still don’t understand why its taking this long it has never before my sister filed after me and she has already got her dd date on wmr very frustrating….

[Pikkin]

Oh..and I was unable to order my return transcripts (via mail of course) today. I could do my account. Is that 2/19 day legit considering i cannot access my return transcripts
Thanks Bart

[taxonomy]

@ Eric B. Thanks for the info. It might not always mean that though. After you posted I searched for that and found there may be other unknown reasons? googling “when your bars go missing on wmr does this always mean your’re under review?” should pop up one instance where it might be for another reason.

I might suggest a poll feature to the keymaster here for next year, seems like it could be helpful for some things. Something as simple as My bars disappeared I (choose) was/was not under review – dozens of other things too

[blessed02]

My transcripts have also been updated with 846 code and 3-02-15 date… It is such a relief to finally see a change on my return… I’ve missing bars since 1/31… And still missing now but my transcripts have been updated as of last night with the 846 info… Filed/Accepted 1/21 and also had cycle code 20150405. I did have an offset on my account but that isn’t the reason for the long delay. I switched primary between my husband and I and it caused it so yeah KEEP THE FAITH people it will come!!

[Kacey]

Where would you see an 846 code

[Janet]

WOO HOO! Deposit is in the bank!!!!!
To those wondering about Monday holiday, they deposited it early!

[Babyj]

Cool brad when was your ddd an your mail by date? Was u rejected by your bank?

[Pikkin]

Hi again Bart,

So I called a tax advocate and got a case number.
\Then I called the IRS just to see what’s up since I cannot access my transcripts online (still with call IPSU-already did 2X)

Anyway, the rep told me ‘I see your refund is set to be release on 2/19’ Good right?
‘But there is a freeze’ What?!!
I asked what is the hold about? he said it was put there by collections. Now we have 0…ZERO debt from past years including this year. So I told him to transfer me to collections.

Spoke to the collections rep, who checked and gave me a ‘WTH’ response..i.e. I have ZERO debt outstanding including 2014. So I should not even be speaking to him. So I asked if he see a hold and what is it about..He said it originated from the department (refund) that I just spoke and it pertains to identity theft.

Again with the identity stuff…mind you i spoke to IDverify yesterday who said nothing was in their department regarding identity verification…and the times I spoke to IPSU they said this ‘alert’ erroneous or not will not delay my refund.
The collections guys..trying to be helful said anything with identity alerts will delay my refund.
OK..so why did the rep lie and say the hold was from collections and not try to remove the hold. sigh

[janice]

Awesome brad! What state are you in?

[janice]

Thats awesome Cynthia!! I told you! :) tomorrow when you wake up, youll have an update on wmr telling you what your mail date is. Im thinking Tuesday 17th. Cross fingers for you. My check was mailed today! Dont forget to call treasury on your mail date to confirm it went out!

[taxonomy]

Well, the good news if any is that they have 45 days from April 15 then they have to start paying interest – so in their good business sense (stop laughing hehe) we will all be paid by June 1st lol. Of course they have a bit of an out, they stop accruing interest 30 days before the time they issue the funds, so nobody has to be paid before July 1

However in my case, and I’d suggest it for anyone with time on their hands, I went back to 2011 and found some money I could have gotten there, and another year since then. One 1040x has already been “adjusted” and says I’ll have a letter within 3 weeks telling me all about it, but looking at the transcript for that year it shows a payout date of 2-23 so I should have that check in the mail by the end of the month. The other one will probably trigger an audit but the numbers are valid, so the more time they take, the more interest I’ll get. I’ll just wait until April 15th to mail that one (last possible date ever for a refund from 2011).

So by delaying me this year, they’ve cost the Treasury about 2 grand in unclaimed funds and interest (which seems to be around 5%) because if I got my damn money on time I wouldn’t have gone rooting around in past tax years for a little “revenge”.

Good luck all!

[cs]

Hey Shanni,

An offset might delay the refund. That 846 code is your golden ticket.
I had an offset last year and it prevented my refund entirely. Not that this could happen to you. If the offset is less than your total refund maybe it wont delay at all and the IRS will just deduct it directly. Good luck. Keep your head up.

[Eric B.]

FOR ANYONE WHO HAD THEIR BARS DISAPPEAR ON THE ‘WHERE’S MY REFUND’ SITE :

The bars disappearing means that your tax return is under review. Something in your return was flagged by the IRS computers or you had a previous tax issue (offset, etc.) in prior years that automatically causes this years return to be reviewed. From what I was told, the 21 day waiting period starts over from the time the review was initialed

[Tim]

Accepted 2/9
Was able to order transcript today 0605
Want still 1 bar topic 152. No offsets hopefully it will be on emerald card Wednesday at the latest (tomorrow would b nice ;)

[JL1975]

No, my caseworker is located in PA, but the conversation I had was through the Advocate’s main number.

Insanity is the best word to describe it. Dealing with government agencies is like being the only sane person in a mental ward.

[msnicki]

@jo they asked to mail in both.. the 1095-a and the 8962

[mememememe]

Hi Bart, I called as you suggested and got the scripted response. “you’ll get a letter, do what it says”. Nevermind the 971 has been on there for a long time, before others who has since received their letters.

I called for a tax advocate and the first guy simply transferred me right back to the IRS line. I called again and got a guy who assigned me one.

[Eric B.]

Alex: I’m in the exact same boat as you. Filed on the 25th. Bars disappeared, all of that. When the bars disappear is means your return in under review. Somebody is actually looking at due to something the computers picked up and flagged. The other shitty part about this is that you can only call and check your status of your refund 21 days AFTER THE REVIEW WAS INITIATED. Which means the 21 day waiting period starts over when the review started. So not from the 25th. It blows big time. My review started on Feb. 8th so… Yeah

[mememememe]

I’m with you taxonomy…I’ve been filing my taxes for 25 years, NEVER had a problem, and I budgeted in this year’s return. We are depending on it.

I had planned (and still plan) to begin saving a significant amount this year (the first year I ever could) but can’t do so without this refund to settle debts and pay bills first.

[Cynthia to Janice]

Janice –

My transcript updated and shows

Refund issued 2-16-2015 -( Real time 2/4)
Refund cancelled 2-16-2015 – ( Real time 2/4)
Notice issued 3-2-2015
Refund issued 3-2-2015

Based on my calculation if yours said 2-23 – real time 2/13 which is today,
Does my 3-2-2015 mean real time 2/24 as my mail date?

WMR has no updates. Just my transcript.

Thank you.

[Sarahs]

I’m suppose be getting a few thousand back but my bank deposit only shows $299 anyone know why?

[Jon]

You’ll have it Wed.

[taxonomy]

I don’t know bgreen, I finally called today – day 21, and she told me I had to wait until day 22 which of course is actually day 25 with the weekend and Monday holiday. “I can’t give you any more information than you can see online” You mean you won’t as in can’t because you’ve been told not to.

Quite done with it to tell you the truth. I’ll check my netspend card once a day over the weekend, call on Tuesday, then check once a week just to remain sane. Like a fool I counted on the money this year – never again. I’m just going to hunker down in disaster mode and ride it out – too much lost opportunity time chasing it down this year, too many angry moments, too much BS.

Good luck to you though!

[Jon]

Accepted 2/6 about 8pm, WMR still on one bar, code 152.

Transcript available this morning, date code of 20150605, so I should have my money 2/18, and who knows or cares if WMR updates before then.

[brad]

Got my check today was mailed out on the 10th and on the 11 all bars on were lighted up. Hope this helps someone. O yea and it came from philly.

[Chaz]

Filed 2/3. Accepted 2/5. DDD of 2/13. Money was in my acct today ab out 830am. Good luck and refund dust to all

[Rasten]

For you folks who are now able to see your transcripts. WMR updated the day after I was able to see my transcripts. Hope this helps.

[BartD]

JES522 thats because someone is touching your return and something was changed… sometimes it will do that

orchid i know someone that got it in a little over a week so really id verify will be 3 weeks or less

tracey i would wait till tomorrow and re check something seems like it didnt update

lea under review will take at least 30-45 days

Rhiannon your looking at 3 -4 weeks or less with 1471 and id verify

cass yeah its been taking a lot longer for some

Shanni it depends is the 810 before or after the 846 if after then yes if before then no

lashanda you are getting closer and almost in the clear nothing to really worry about

ssmi8115 well first call the id verify department and verify your info.. after that wait about 1-2 weeks and u will have your money 60 days is such a long time and unless they are reviewing everything on your return you are just not under review like they are telling every one with ID verify issues. 1 other now 2 other people had the same issue as you and 1 was only 1 week and few days delayed

filer2014 nonono ur not done processing but u are getting closer it… your prolly about 1-2 weeks or less out from getting your DDD… there is still the hold on the account but things are getting updated so someone is actually doing thier job :0

[Corel]

Mine was rejected from my bank because it was my name on bank account, and my husband’s is primary on tax forms. I called the OR and was informed it would be 8-10 WEEKS for them to issue a check. The woman I spoke with said it has already been received back there, but it has to be researched and whatever. I’m about to have a nervous breakdown.

[Anonymous]

The as of date is useless. Completely ignore it.

[Jon]

The 3/2 date isn’t meaningless, it’s the date your paper check would be mailed if you didn’t use DD.

The 2-18 date is correct, as verified with my ex, who works for the IRS. The date code translation that you’re seeing on this site is correct.

[Anonymous]

I had an accepted date of 2/5, and was accepted within 5 minutes of submission. Yesterday, my file was sent to review (all bars missing), and today, I ended up with my ddd date of 02/18/2015.

Don’t get discouraged and be patient. Your time will come. The amount of your refund does not matter as I got over 4k.

Things are about 3 days slower then last year.

[Anonymous]

Here is my situation again for anyone who hasn’t read it.

filed and was accepted on 1/21 and had bars for 5 days. Since then my bars are gone and I get the “We are still processing” thing. Transcripts give me the identity theft message. My husband is exactly the same. I called the IRS last week and was told nothing was wrong as far as the identity theft and that transcripts load after 14 days.

I just got off the phone with the IRS and was told as of 2/2 there was an error of some sort found (she couldn’t tell me what it was) and that my return would take up to 8 we TO BE RESOLVED and then possibly another 6-8 weeks to be released. I could have lost my mind when she told me this however I remained calm because she was so nice.

So now I’m wondering is this the generic line they are handing us or is it really going to be May before I get a refund. I’m beyond fed up at this point.

[Jackie]

I have cycle 20150604 but the same March 2nd date. I got my update today that it would be deposited on tues the 18th. so yours will prob be wed since it’s 05

[Mike M]

I was supposed to get my DDD on 2/4, by 2/6 1121 Error message came up. 2/13 today still waiting, called twice and got no information, just wait for a letter which you may get or not. Just wait….

[rnamba87]

the same happened to me i filed 1/26 accepted 1/26 few days later both status bars and tax topic 152 gone been like that ever since cant get ahold of my transcripts or anyone from the irs. I owed backtaxes for 2013 so last year only got a quarter of my return so i know i dont owe anything for 2014 I just think the IRS hates my ass lol

[kyhmm72]

AGREED!!!

[JB]

My date changed to 3/2 overnight but then I just looked again and it just changed back to 2/23. I have no idea what that means either.

[pikkin]

I’m going jl…while I am so sorry you had to suffer through that insane conversatio, it was very hilarious. these agents can do a comedy show. I pray I do not have that insane conversatin next when my caseWorker calls. Is your caseworker located in Utah by chance?

[jes522]

why would the as of date on my transcripts change from 2/16 to 2/23 then back to 2/16 this afternoon?

[Anonymous]

I think I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that my return will be in my bank sometime in May. I filed and was accepted on 1/21 and had bars for 5 days. Since then my bars are gone and I get the “We are still processing” thing. Transcripts give me the identity theft message. My husband is exactly the same. I called the IRS last week and was told nothing was wrong as far as the identity theft and that transcripts load after 14 days.

Do they count business days or every day ? I still can not get transcripts for either of us.

If anyone who works for the IRS is reading this. Communication is key here. Many of us depend on this money every year. Send a letter or put information on the website. The anxiety it causes people to just not know is unfair.

[ggpaul]

this is for Participant.. I check my account transcripts and have code of 846 and 766 credit to my account.. whatever that means..

Thanks

[Anonymous]

Did ours 2/9/2015, was accepted same day. Just see it on the first base still. Hoping for an early dd!

[firstjustme]

ggpaul and brandon

You need to check your transcripts to see if you have any new codes. I have a 841 code and no other codes….it means refund was cancelled and it seems that means that they have to re-issue it but since most of us are weekly accounts, I am n ot sure if we will have to wait an entire week or not.

Other people got other codes, which means they are in review or some other issue.

[MrsWorst]

Called IRS yesterday and was given NO answers concerning my 570/971. Was told to wait 45 DAYS AFTER FEBRUARY 23rd!!! He said if I didn’t hear anything by then to call back. So I called again today and pretended that I had never called before, the woman was a little more helpful… She said that my file was “under review” but that it did not say why?!?!
She said that I should get a letter in the next couple weeks telling me what to do and that if anything on my transcripts change to call back!!!
*sigh* I’m so frustrated!

[Shanni]

I checked my transcript and I dont have the 846 code.I know i have an offset, could this delay my refund

[JL1975]

UPDATE

The Taxpayer Advocate told me I’d be receiving a call today from a case worker, Friday 2/13. When I didn’t receive a call by 3:30 PM, I called the Advocate to find out why I hadn’t received a call. I was told, “Case workers are only available Monday through Thursday.” Then why tell me I’d receive a call on Friday from one?

They told me they found out it is, indeed, an IRS system error… Then told me I need to mail my 1040 form (which the rep even said she was looking at on the computer screen), and that it should take, “2-4 weeks to straighten out,” after they receive the copies I mail them. That’s the SAME amount of time the IRS said they needed, WITHOUT me sending any further copies of my 1040 to them.

I asked why I needed to print and send the exact same thing they already had, and was just told, “We need that.” Common sense = They’re looking at it, why do they need a second copy? I said I’d send it right away, if they could just tell me where to send it. “Oh, no, sir. We’ll be sending out a letter telling you where to send it to. You have to wait until you receive that letter.” WHAT?

OK… “All I want to do is get this taken care of as quickly as possible.”

“Please hold, I’ll transfer you.”

Transferred.

Completely different story. “It’s a system error, and we’re doing everything we can to get it taken care of as quickly as possible… No, why would you think you had to send us a copy of your 1040?… Let me transfer you.”

Transferred. AGAIN.

“I’m sorry, sir, but case workers are only available Monday though Thursday… Call this number…”

“Whose number is that?”

“The case worker assigned to you.”

“But, I thought you said case workers weren’t in on Fridays?”

“That’s correct, sir.”

“Then what good is that going to do me?”

“Is there anything else I can assist you with today?”

“You haven’t assisted me with anything today.”

[Anonymous]

Bart called diversify at 7 am There was a hold. I was asked several questions like a credit bureau would ask. The agent said she had released the hold and my return should be going back to processing. 6 weeks wait. Thank you for all your kind advise.

[Tracey]

Hi Bart!
Have a question, maybe you can provide some insight.
Filed w/TT 1/29, accepted same day. IRS accepted 2/2. I lostt all my bars in wmr sometime early last week. My transcripts say a negative account balance (the refund) cycle code 20150505 but no 846 code.
I called the IRS and all the woman said she doesn’t see a problem with the return, no hold code. Its pretty much in limbo.
Any ideas?
