Finally everything got resolved, and refund check arrived. the interest was a lot more than I’d calculated it would be, and it seems that the number of days was counted going back to April 15, 2012, not going back to the date of the IRS receiving the amended return in their system. I’m guessing that this is because I was filing an amended return only because we were not allowed to file a joint return in 2012.
i deleted form 8960 instead of just filling out zeros in line 4. I did not have investment income. Was this an acceptable solution or do you think I be delayed?
I posted my SS TO IGMR.
Seeing a lot of people commenting on IGMR facebook that they were accepted and filed via TaxAct
Back from last year! Just logged into to TA To see I was accepted today! If you didn’t get an email from Try logging in and checking manually.
That’s AWESOME I hope I get one of those emails soon: ) congrats
Just received an email that my tax return has been accepted by the IRS as part of the test batch. Good luck everyone! Hopefully the test batch won’t experience the SNAFUs that occurred last year!
I honestly look for them to start accepting and pulling in terms next couple of days. Last year I submitted mine on the 4th and they got accepted on the 24th. They didn’t officially open till like the 30th so they started testing about a week b4. They officially open next week so I look for things to start rolling between now and Wednesday of this week but that’s just my opinion: )
As part of controlled IRS testing, a small number of federal returns will be transmitted to the IRS between January 12th and January 16th, 2015. This is before processing officially begins on January 20th. If you receive an acknowledgement during this timeframe, your return has been accepted by the IRS but your refund will not be processed early.
If you expect a federal refund, the IRS Where’s My Refund? tool will provide personalized information about your tax return beginning January 31st. The timeframe for issuing refunds will not begin before this date.
The IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days. See What to Expect for Refunds for more information on when to expect your refund.
Today, you won at taxes.
Congratulations — you who can do anything, have successfully filed your taxes! Now inspire your friends and family by sharing yo
I know no one knows for sure, but when do you think IRS will pull for a test batch? And do you think they pull very many returns? Again, I know no one knows for sure, but what’s your best guess based on previous years. Thanks!
Hey! I’m back again for another year! I recognize some names in here. Hope you all are doing well! Is it too late for me to join this party? My taxes are ready to be submitted through TT but I’m having to wait on that darn 1095-a form from the Marketplace before I can hit that file button. I’m impatient and just want to get this over with. Our tax situation is a little more complicated than last year. Ugh.
I had a former pop up at end too for tt. Also put zero. No idea what it was about really
I just filed last night. I hope I’m in the test batch, but maybe I waited too long. I filed through TT. I’ve used them for several years. I know they charged me too much, but since I know how to use them, and like their program, I kept using them again. Hope all goes well. I had that form pop up at the end, but I just put a 0 in the line 4. Hope that was right.
Things will start to really heat up here around the 20th.
We are all here just kinda hanging out waiting on the acceptance notices to start coming in: )
I’ve been wondering the same thing
Where is everyone
woot!
Let the Good Times Roll… Let’s get our Patience ready….
Here’s hoping my 2nd year of filing Injured Spouse goes more smoothly….Hello apparently my 2014 was miscalculated by turbo tax as far as my standard deduction and child tax credit so I owe back 2000.00 to irs. Notice say money is due by jan 28th unless I set up payment plan. Tax season opens on the 20th will they deduct money from return? The notice said if their findings are not correct to sign paper and send documentation. So is it a offset able debt yet if it’s not a final bill yet? Just want to know will they just take the money
2015 Injured Spouse
And the madness begins…
I use Walmart never had any problems. But I think it will only allow 10,000, so I recommend you get 2 Walmart cards and split your deposit. The black premiere card is awesome, I get my payroll a day early. It’s a $3 fee Everytime you withdraw money unless you get cash back at a register. Also there’s no fee on the black card to load money. The other day I went to buy money orders totaling 1,048 and I was able to pay with my Walmart card, so if you need to pay stuff just go make money orders so you don’t get charged the $3 fee to withdraw. I’ve used it twice for tax returns got my money on my DD around 4 am. I am in Texas and their bank is in California so that makes sense that my deposit goes in around 1 am Santa Barbara time.
What’s the best card out there with the least amount of problems for a large dd such as this? I remember horror stories of funds being held, stuff having to be faxed in, etc. any help is appreciated.
I just filed and I hope this year does not prove to be a waiting game
Lol of course I’m here: ) I can’t imagine life without my IGMR peeps : )- I’m anxiously awaiting on my accepted email: )
Hi Jasvan70 and Rocky38! I remember you from last year. Can’t believe it has been a year already. I got my w-2 today and tested out HRB, TurboTax and Taxact. TurboTax gave me the best refund because they said the insurance penalty was waived but the other 2 tried to charge me $100 because my husband didn’t have insurance last year. Also HRB tried to charge $9.95 because schedule EIC was not available on the FRee edition. What crap. I used Turbo Tax last year and was not disappointed so I happy to stay with them again this year. I was so tempted to hit submit but I do need to wait on a form 1099 from selling some company stock thru my job. I only sold a little over $400 last year. Does anyone think it would hurt me if I didn’t claim it?
Im reading everyone’s responses and I can’t wait to get my W2 next week (hopefully). I have all the information stored in TT and am just waiting to do the income part. I hope to get my refund on the 5th. It’s that a realistic goal?
*Waves* Popping in to say Hi (and bookmark ;) ) — ready for the new year of crazy. Hopeful that this year is smoother then last!!!!!
Filed through freetaxusa.com for the first time!
Just filed through TT, hoping all goes smoothly. Child tax credit and education credits. keeping fingers crossed
Just filed mine through freetaxusa. Hoping for a smooth process.
I’m ready! Just filed with tt. Last year mine were delayed with the whole Tennessee hub mess, but nothing major! Hoping for another smooth year for all of us! I don’t know what I would do without you guys!!!
my hr block says federal e file contined is anyone else getting that
Ready, filed, and biting bails lol metaphorically anyways. Didn’t know I could get an education credit for kids in college on grants
Filed 1/6/15 Freetax USA, EIC, child tax credit. Here’s hoping for a smooth year!
I noticed someone said they were not going to file for the education credits because it may delay their return. Is there something I haven’t heard about causing a delay in processing a return? It didn’t tell me on Taxslayer it would cause a delay.
One thing I did not do because I was afraid of being delayed is the Education Credit, american opportunity. My son is a college student and all his tuition and room and board is paid by scholarships/grants, however I do pay his books,computer, expenses. I did qualify for 1000 credit but I did not take it I was so scared of being delayed, etc…. So I’m bummed about that since I could’ve used that extra grand, who cant? But oh well, maybe I can amend it. What proof would I need? We dont get the 1098 form since his education is paid for with untaxed dollars.
Just filed TT, eic and child credit. I did the free version, since mine is simple. Hopefully it’s a smooth process…..now the waiting begins and stalking all the pages, lol!!! This is my first year filing this early, so I hope I made the right choice. I usually filed right when the irs “opens”….or the night before and I’ve been accepted then.
I have most of the information ready. Im going to wait until the 20th so I dont get caught into trouble like otgers did last year. At least I can have it on the 1st date.
Forms for eic were there today it went through but asked me some weird question on some worksheet I’ve never seen before. Answer was zero so hoping it won’t affect anything. Never submitted this early before but want it in and money back lol.
I just entered as much as I could. I am debating about submitting it. Last year I remembered people who submitted early having issues of it being held up once they opened. What do you think? Should I submit it,to be held in queue for when IRS opens???
forgot to log in I am rob in kansas
year 3 as well tons of fun waiting with you guys last few years. filed fed and state just now may the ride begin
Mine just went thru as well…. HOOORAAAAH !
Try again I just filed with TT simple 1040 with two dep and EITC and forms were there. It went through
Just e-filed with Taxact, use it every year and have no problems at all! Here’s to hoping we have our money in 3 weeks!
hr let me go all the way thru today.
Turbo tax wouldn’t let me either. Said the eic forms won’t be ready till the 8th and nys til the 16th. Hoping the nys won’t delay them at least accepting my federal tomorrow
did you get thru to e file turbo tax will not let you e file till the 8th
@MRS
We’re in the same boat. Our Where’s My Refund switched to “21 days for processing” as of 12/17, and the date we were given by a Tax Advocate for our holdup being cleared as 12/18, so… hopefully soon!
When we were told 12/18, they said that this problem affected every person who submitted an Injured Spouse and had old debts covered by this company — apparently a computer glitch caused the Injured Spouse forms not to be processed, and they have to wait until it’s fixed (and the Advocate’s Office can’t give emergency refunds because when it gets fixed, it’ll direct deposit it automatically).
Just e-filed with Tax Slayer….I hope I make one of the test batches for an early refund! (crosses fingers)
Yes! Im ready for the adventure with you guys!! :) 3 years strong!!
Just got refund in August for 2013,. Hope this year is a little smoother.
Yes ready willing and able
Ready and filed through TaxSlayer this morning! Hoping to get in early with the hub testing.
Definitely ready. Mine are ready through turbo tax just waiting until they say it’s ok to file. Something about eic forms not being ready yet
I’m so ready this year. Filed early last year and irs took slightly longer to accept but all was well. Has anyone efiled through tax slayer yet? Finished my federal and was asked if I’m ready to efile. Not sure if I should wait till irs actually opens this year or just do it now.
I have a question. I owe about 300 on a student loan to my state that is to be offset. When I call the federal offset number the debt is listed. I am certain they told me they would only take my state return as it should well cover it and then some. Why would they offset my federal as well? When there is an offset, does it take a longer time to get your refund? Thank you.
Honey I was born ready….lol

“The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days. . However, it’s possible your tax return may require additional review and take longer.”
Ohhhhh it’s just the WAITING I can’t stand!!!!!!!!
We filed our return in April 2013…as of January 2015, we STILL don’t have a date. I WISH our wait was 14 weeks. Well, at least we know what to look forward to THIS tax season, lol. Wish us luck!!
Good article
wish to
post resource.
You do not mind ?I called the IRS and the agent said my 2013 was adjusted on December 11 but the check is not due to go out in the mail until 12/31!!!
I can’t believe this people are actually sitting on my check for 3 weeks!
To the person mentioning the transcripts, my record of account shows the refund cycle 20145202 and the date of 1/12/15. The guy said the checks come out of Austin, TX.
I am soooo ready. I am doing my warm up exercises as we speak!! Igmr always helps take the stress out of the process so now that I’ve added the page to my bookmarks,… LET’S GO!!
I think “Raquel” was being sarcastic due to the attitude you showed in your first reply.
“To the person asking about interest….it is NOT 3% a day, good grief” You could have expressed that a bit differently. That being said, thanks everyone for sharing all this great information with us.I just wonder where/how will I report the interest when e-filing…..On what line?
Does anyone know?Again, don’t be snarky if you don’t like other people doing it to you.
Yes, the interest is taxable. And, why the apparently sarcastic, “ok, genius”? People here are trying to help each ither out and share information. Comments like this one suppress any desire to help.
Ok genius. Can you please share wether or not are we going to pay taxes on the interest money?
Thanks.
About interest…. i found a reasonable answer to question. Interest is calculated at an annual 3% rate for the days that have elapsed since return was put into system, minus 45 days. So, if you mailed an amended return for 2011 on, say August 3, 2014 and the IRS logged it into their system on August 13, 2014, there’s no interest on any refund due calculated for 45 days from August 13th. After day 45, simple interest (as I understand it at this point) accrues at rate of .03/365 per day until the time an IRS guru approves the refund. So even though the govt may have had your extra money for years, you only get interest on it if the IRS takes more than 45 days tp process your return and approve a refund. So most of the time, a refund will get no or a very few days’ worth of interest. Hope this helps. I found it interesting, so I’m glad someone asked the question.
