Filed on 1/30 with CTC and EIC around 6pm with HR Block. Also had filed my father’s on 1/30 no EIC or CTC around 2pm. He rec’d a message around 9 this morning he is accepted.

Nothing on mine. Honestly little nervous of things being screwed up this year. In past years always filed before acceptance date and got an IRS acceptance the morning they start to accept returns.

[atb043]

Does your code show as 150 or 846? I have 150 with a date of 20180504

[atb043]

I’m glad many of you woke up with good news! My DDD was 3/13 but I woke up and found it’s in my bank today!

[atb043]

I also got a DDD of 3/13/17. I thought it would be the 15th. Well I hope everyone that is waiting gets an answer soon.

[atb043]

Well I didn’t have a change on my WMR today but I can order and view my transcripts today. Show code 846 with a cycle date of 3/27/17 which means really my DDD should be on 3/15/17.
I’m sure my WMR will update Saturday morning.

Last year my cycle date was 2/22/16 but I had a DDD on 2/10/15. I’m a weekly so my DDDs are always on a Wednesday.

I hope that helps those who are able to get their transcripts today and can’t view them online.

[atb043]

It’s quiet on here today. Maybe people are getting good news or deposits already.

[atb043]

Well my WMR has changed. I now have topic 152 back and my refund amount is gone. I’ll have to read through these post to see what that means.

[atb043]

Oh my I didn’t realize that there are different centers processing our returns and faxed forms. I though it was all in Austin.

Great so Houston is getting these out faster?

Can everyone put their processing center and if they have a DDD please?!?!?!?!?!

[atb043]

@KeshaMichellHtownTX

Okay thank you. I faxed in all my info with the control number on 2/21 so I hope I’ll hear or see something this week too

[atb043]

@KeshaMichellHtownTX

What day did you fax your information in?

[atb043]

Well change for me.. still same WMR message, no transcripts to order. I figured it was a long shot given it was a weekend. Hope I get some news this week.

[atb043]

I called and got right through this time no wait. Lady did the 5-7 minute checking on it routine. She seemed helpful. Said they show my paperwork is there that I faxed on 2/21. She said the standard line that it will be processed in6 to 8 weeks from the date I sent it in. What concerns me is she said it like it was a few days ago. It was over 12 days ago.

She then stated after I questioned the date with “it will be from the date you faxed it does that make sense to you is that what you wanted to hear?” Kind of rude but I think she was trying to imply it’s being worked on without saying that directly.

[atb043]

Can everyone that can order their transcripts or have a DDD please reply back with the date they faxed their forms back to the IRS please?

I hope it can help me narrow down when I may get my DDD.

I faxed mine on 2/21 and it seems that people before and after me are getting updates and transcripts.

[atb043]

@Lorenzo

I’m willing to bet you will be able to see a DDD on your WMR tomorrow. Generally if you can order your transcript the WMR will update the next day. That’s how it’s been for me every year.

The last 2 years I’ve been a weekly so my transcripts were available on Friday and Saturday I had a DDD.

[atb043]

I just tried to call. Was on hold for 17 minutes and had to hang up as my break time was over. I’m so damn frustrated.

[atb043]

@xosplashxo

I’m glad you got an update and can order your transcripts. I annoyed however that I faxed in my information 8 days before yours and I have had nothing happen for me. That’s on the IRS not you.

I have no faith when I call in. I feel like they say whatever they can to get you off the phone. The last guy was so vague in what he told me.

[atb043]

I believe I’m a weekly so tomorrow hopefully I can order my transcripts and get an update on WMR on Saturday morning with a 3/8/17 ddd.

[atb043]

Still no change for me. Below is a copy of my WMR with my info x’d out. Called and spoke with a guy but I don’t know if he really looked at my information. Just said it appears that my fax was “received 7 or 8 days ago so things are moving”. I almost think he was saying that to get me off the phone.

Nothing has changed. No transcripts, same WMR since Feb 22nd.

Being in customer service for 20 years and a large part of that being in Quality I cringe whenever I have to call the IRS. First call resolution will never happen with the IRS. Most of the reps are temp who only work seasonally for the IRS. Most of them are unemphatic and I suppose it’s because they are treated like crap by many people.

[atb043]

@312Tax

When did you call and find out that they received your fax?

[atb043]

KeshaMichell How long was the hold time calling them today? I’ve call twice and the hold times were 20 minutes and 40 minutes.

My letter didn’t say to send page 2 of my 1040. It said only to send 8962 and1095a

[atb043]

I faxed both the 8962 and 1095a as it was listed on the letter. Faxed mine 2/16 and called on 2/24. Got a very disinterested lady who put my on hold for 3 minutes and came back to tell me my fax was not on their system yet. Also she said to wait 2 weeks to call back again to check it.

Okay so wait two more weeks only to find out they don’t have it? I’m so pissed that Taxact didn’t make it clear when reviewing medical for 2016 that I had to submit the 1095a. I should be getting my refund this week but now who knows when I’ll get it.

[atb043]

I filed with Taxact for 2nd year in a row. No problems this last year. This year no updates forever. Got letter asking for Form 8962 and 1095a for ACA coverage. It didn’t even ask me about that when I used their online software. Now I’m screwed. Faxed in the info on 2/16 and no updates.

[atb043]

refundlove what number did you call to find this out? I tried to call the one listed on my letter but the hold time is longer than my lunch time at work.

[atb043]

I tried to call yesterday around 5 and was on hold for 35 minutes and had to hang up as I had to leave to pick up my daughter. I called the phone number on the letter with the extension.

[atb043]

I still can’t order transcripts and I have the message on WMR “Your return is still being process. A date will be provided …. ” I’m just not happy that it took them 12 days after I sent my return to send me that letter requesting the forms.

[atb043]

I think my bars went away because of it being past the 21 days. It really bothers me that they had my return on 1/31 but didn’t mail out the letter until 2/10.

[atb043]

Do you have the “your return is still in processing. A refund date will be provided when complete” message on the irs WMR site?

[atb043]

I did find another thread on here and realize that I need to fax this sucker back asap. I hope it doesn’t effect my refund too long. It seems from other post it adds a week or two. I wish TaxAct was a little more clear about that while going through their entries. I only remember it asking if I had health coverage for all 12 months. Nothing about healthcare.gov coverage. I only had it for 3 months.

[atb043]

I completly understand that refunds won’t go out until the week of Feb 27th. What I don’t understand is why some people had their WMR update to 2 bars and others like me have been stuck on 1 bar.

I just want to know that my returned was processed. Then I’ll wait for my refund at the end of the month.

[atb043]

I was hoping someone would be to help with this question…

[atb043]

I just want to know as I had issues trying to submit with Credit Karma and scrapped that and redid it with Tax Act. I don’t want to end up in identity theft hell.

[atb043]

Filed and accepted on 1/31 on TaxAct
I have CTC/ACTC and ED credits
Stuck on one bar with no changes.
no path message,
no transcripts
nothing.

I’m very worried that my failed filing though Credit Karma on 1/29 put me in identity theft verification. I haven’t received a letter to that effect yet. I had filed with them but it was returned because a ssn on dependent was incorrect. There was no way to go in and fix it on Credit Karma’s tax site. So I redid it with TaxAct because Credit Karma couldn’t fix my problem.

I had promised to pay off late bills by the middle of March. Also take my family on a long over due weekend trip but now I’m convinced that won’t happen.

[atb043]

I wish I could get to the point where i have a transcript that shows code 846.

I would think that is place holder date as I’ve seen a number of articles that the irs is saying that is when PATH people will get their refunds. Presidents day screws up the timing to make it that late is what i read.

[atb043]

Filed on 1/31 and accepted with taxact. I have CTC and ed credits.
stuck on one bar no path message
can’t order either transcript.

every year I have an issue.. don’t know if it’s related to ed credit or what. i always seem to take 3 weeks before i get any change on WMR from 1 bar to 2 bars or able to order transcripts

[atb043]

Filed on 1/31 and accepted with taxact. have CTC and ed credits.
stuck on one bar no path message
can’t order either transcript.

my 2015 transcript shows cycle date of 20160505. Does that mean I’m a weekly that should update on fri/sat?

[atb043]

filed and accepted 1/31 with taxact
did have Child tax credit. no eitc. did have education credit
no transcipts available
still one bar.. no path message

i’m getting frustrated.
i know refund will be later
i just want to have it processed and know it’s not in a black hole

[atb043]

I filed with taxact on 1/31/17 accepted in 5 minutes with child tax credit. no eic. did have education credit

No change still one bar and can’t order either transcript.

I realize that I won’t get a refund until week of 27th but it’s odd to not have my WMR update by now.

I must be a weekly but still I should be able to get account script by now.

[atb043]

Ugh why are people who filled and accepted on 1/31 with Child tax Credits like me already have 2 bars and can order transcripts?

In years past I was a daily and now I think I’ve been changed to a weekly. Ugh i know that i won’t get my refund for awhile i just don’t want it to sit out there and not be processed.

[atb043]

I filed and accepted on 1/31 using Taxact. Still one bar and can’t get transcripts. I do have child tax credit.

Has anyone that has the child tax credit gotten two bars and/or transcripts yet?

I first tried to fill with Credit Karma which they screwed up and the IRS rejected it. I resubmitted it with Taxact because there was no way to fix the error with Credit Karma. Now I worry that resubmitting with another tax program kicked me into identity theft with the IRS.

[atb043]

I didn’t have EIC and my refund status says to wait 2 weeks. In the prior years I’ve received my refund within 2 days of filing my Iowa return. Sometimes it’s deposited before the website is updated. Hasn’t happened yet as I filed on 1/31. Still I can’t complain as this EIC crap about March is bullsh*t. People who have EIC need their refund the most and to delay it is just plain cruel.

[atb043]

Thank you Jean for the inforamation. I was afraid going through another online tax prep would cause an issue. Back to TaxAct. For some reason they are making me pay because I have a 1099-r this year. That’s why I went to Credit Karma. I never will do that again.

[atb043]

This is what I got after 2 days of waiting from Credit Karma.. what a waste of time… AVOID THEM AT ALL COST!!!!

Your request has been solved. To reopen this request, reply to this email.

Ariel, Jan 31, 12:33 PM PST:
Hi XXXX,

If your return is rejected, we’ll send you an email that includes the IRS or state revenue department’s reason for rejecting it. You’ll be able to log back into Credit Karma Tax to edit your return and submit again.

XXXX, Jan 30, 9:35 PM PST:

I’m regretting using this program. I got an error that the name and ssn for one of my dependents did not match and was returned by the IRS. There is no way for me to go in and update this on your program. It won’t let me access anything for my dependents, myself or wife. How do I get to that to update my information so I can refile?

[atb043]

I’m tempted to but I don’t want to have the IRS put me in a delay with identify theft. I’ve read that is horrible and you don’t get your refund for months.

I can kick myself for trying Credit Karma this year. All because I think I entered one digit wrong on my daughter’s ssn.

[atb043]

@dee… I also used Tax Act… filed and accepted on 1/15… one bar and topic 152 ever since. Can order account script and no return script.
Called and spoke with Ms Kelly at irs. Said she shows rec’d on 1/20 from TA and I was re-sequenced.. No idea what that means other than being put back in line. She said everything was okay and not to worry about.

[atb043]

I see a trend here and it’s TAX ACT! Is it me or did all of you use Tax Act?

[atb043]

Filed 1/15 with Tax Act
accepted 1/15
Account transcript 1/29
return transcript n/a

Still one bar and topic 152
no offsets
One pissed off individual here

[atb043]

Well I’m still stuck at one bar, can only order account transcript, filed and accepted on 1/15 with Tax Act. no offsets. WTF?!?!?!?!?

[atb043]

Well this morning around 7 I could order my account transcript but not the return. Just tried again after 3 hours and it’s still not available. My anxiety is coming back again… ugh!!!!

I guess I’ll just wait until later tonight. I just wonder if it means mine is blank or there is some hold up with my return that I’m not aware of.

[atb043]

I’m getting super pissed off that people that filed after 1/18 can get transcripts. No offense to them my anger is at the IRS and Tax Act and other providers. I filed on 1/15 figuring test batches were over. I wanted to be first in line on 1/19 but I think I’m stuck in the test batch group that hasn’t been able to order transcripts.

[atb043]

Have you noticed anyone that can order their transcripts filed after 1/19. It makes me scared that us earlier filers are stuck in tax purgatory somewhere. I didn’t want mine sent to the IRS early so I waited until 1/15 thinking the test batches had been done. I got my acceptance the same day on 1/15. Now I’m pissed off that I didn’t wait.

[atb043]

Well I can’t order mine and I was accepted on 1/15. I’m seeing those that can order them didn’t submit and get accepted until after 1/19. I really hope all of us that filed before 1/19 are up the creek and stuck in limbo like 2 years ago.

[atb043]

You can only get transcripts mailed so you can see the code until it arrives in the mail. By then you will likely have your refund. If you can order the account transcript then you at least know it was processed.

Mine still hasn’t and I was accepted on 1/15. Some people have put on here they can. I think it will update on WMR tomorrow.

[atb043]

I just went back on prior postings on the Facebook page for igmr and it shows the first updates to the 2nd bar and ddd was on Jan 28th which was a Wednesday with DDD on Jan 30th. Also the later updates seemed to show WMR updated on Wednesday early morning with 2nd bar.

If the same holds true then the next WMR update will be early Wednesday with a DDD of Friday 1/29.

[atb043]

Kaylee… Yes I know they give a time frame of 21 days but that is rather vague the way it works. It seems about 90% of the people on here think the 21 days started they day they had their early acceptance. It starts when they opened on the 19th. If the IRS made that clear that it the 21 days started on 1/19/16 then they would have far less calls.

I use to do Quality Assurance for an insurance carrier in a call center that’s “on your side”. Believe me if they provided more information then things would go much smoother. It does cause inefficiencies.

It’s the same every year. I this is my 3 year off following these message boards and it never changes. The IRS plays coy with sharing information. It’s almost like they enjoy it.

[atb043]

What drives me nuts is the IRS is their lack of information and vagueness of the information they do provide. All they need to do is state “your return has been received and will be processed in the next …. days.” on the WMR site.

Also why can’t they have a daily or real time monitor on their website that shows number of received returns, approved returns, held returns, direct deposits made, and etc.

I’m sure it would significantly reduce calls to their centers and free up people to get them processed quicker.
