I figured it out all good, Brain fart per say, I actually filed last year on 1/26 and got it 2/4 so it does actually depend on when you filed he could actually have a DD. Good luck all!!

They never said what their deposit date would be. It’s usually ten days or less from when they start processing them.

So for early filers it will be the 27-29th. So it’s not uncommon for people to be approved on a Sunday. I talked to an irs agent, and they even said to be looking over the next 3-4 days.

I’ve been nice and calm about waiting for my refund until I just noticed that my prepaid card has two different routing numbers on the website for direct deposits. Now I’m terrified I put the wrong one on my return and that my refund will be delayed or even worse, get lost. How do I find out which one I was supposed to use before it gets too late?

[Seejay]

C’mon, Early Filer is a classic troll. I’ve got it in my head that it will be 2/5. Last year, I filed on 1/29 and got my refund 2/13…15 days from file to payment via e-file and direct deposit. If you assume the same and nothing was processed until the 19th, 15 days would be 2/3. So then you’d see your money the following Friday (assuming there are no issues with your return)

Early filer got jokes tonight

[Dave K]

Please help, I filed 1/20 got accepted on federal and state the same day. When I go to the WMR page it still shows nothing, no bars no processing it tells me to put in the date I filed, how I filed and the amount. It then says on the next page, nothing is found, and there’s no records of anything. If both my federal and state was accepted about 72 hours ago why am i still not seeing anything. I’m very concerned this is just weird. Has anyone experienced this, and how long does it take for the bars to actually show on the WMR page?? Please help!!

[Jay]

Early Filer if you hit PrtScrn on your pc you can do a screen capture that way.

[Early filer]

Idk how! Sorry it’s real…Don’t stress I’m sure yours will be soon.

[Michelle]

I filed on the 19th. The 22nd still no acceptance. So I called hr block support. I was told there was a hold put on our taxes. And that someone higher up will call me to fix the issue within 48 hours. Well, two hours later my return was accepted. Followed shortly by am email from hr block stating that they assume my issues were resolved with the a ceptance of our taxes. So no, they are not sending them to the it’s immediately. I’d suggest calling if you haven’t been accepted within 24 hours. I’m glad I did. Now waiting on a DDD. Good luck to all !!!

[Casey]

@early filer, can you post a snapshot of WMR or IRS2Go showing status? Just to prove that it’s for real before we all get out hopes up? Thanks!

[Anonymous]

@early filer

[Jennifer]

[tswan20]

@Early Filer DDD for state or federal

[Crabby]

Submitted 1/18 Accepted 1/20. No info online. Tonight saying unable to view your return online

[Needmahmoney]

Upon researching my tax info from last year, I filed on a Tuesday, Jan 27,2015 efile thru Hand R Block, was accepted same day, and got my funds deposited the following Monday, Feb 2nd via Emerald card. That was a 6 day process and the year before was an 8 day total process. WMR didn’t update until after I got the email from H and R stating the funds were being transferred. I know this doesn’t do any of us a whole lot of good, but I figured I would share any how. Hope we all wake up Monday a lil bit richer!

[Early filer]

My ddd is 1/27/2016!!! Thank you refund gods!!

[Amie]

Just called the automated line and it says it is unavailable maybe some updating is going on. Here’s to hoping anyway!!

[Dave K]

So is there a good reason why I didn’t get any bar thing, and just the wait 24 hour thing?? I didn’t know they had branches that do taxes as well thank you!!

[Bev]

Filed 1/22, accepted 1/22 through turbo tax. Hoping for good news soon!

[annasmommy2]

They just started processing returns, just because you can’t download transcripts right now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to later.

[Nikki]

What’s the website to check the Santa Barbra?

[Nikki]

What’s the website to go to for the Santa barbra

[ADecker]

Has anyone tried contacting them BEFORE the 60 days is up? This is my 2nd year of a manual review as well…..at least we know we are not alone. It sounds like 90% of Ohioans are under “manual” review. I think I might try giving them a call Monday. What’s the worst that can happen? I’ll just say that I saw the message and was worried that someone tried to steal my identity so I wanted to contact them right away. ;-)

[guest]

got A DDD for 1/26 Checked through Va tax website.

[Casey]

Is it just me, or is the IRS stuck on stupid this year? Filed 1/6/16, accepted. 1/12/16, WMR 1 bar, no other info!

I’m tripped up over Santa Barbra bank mobile site. The top part says we have not received your federal refund then the bottom part says amounts received by tpg… whatever !! Over expecting I know but like everyone else bills. I don’t get why big corporations screw with us good night !

[Anonymous]

Lmao…….. @patticake it said meatball…… ???? ? Lmao I laughed pretty hard when I saw what it said! God guys I hope we get something tonight. Can’t eat or sleep right now………

[Lynn P]

I filed with tt and it was pending for a day or so but then was accepted later. hrb maybe is a little slower because they file so many returns. no worries

[ashlea]

yes I am in the same boat I have no idea what is going on. I filed 1/20 and nothing still waiting acceptance and everyone else I know have been accepted already.

[Lynn P]

I filed on 1/19 and was accepted same day. Only 1 bar on wmr and checked sbtpg bank for refund status and it has a projected ddd of 2/2.! crossing all fingers its right

[Anonymous]

There are no IRS processing centers in Washington DC! They’re are 5 processing centers. They are located in Austin, tx, Covington, ky, Fresno, CA, Kansas city, mo and Ogden, it. If you Google where are IRS processing centers located at its the first link that comes up and in straight from IRS.gov. I filed on 1/5/16 and was accepted on 1/11/16. Still only one bar for me too.

[Pattycake]

@refund wanter

Your comment about metabank is too funny lmao ????

[Lisa]

Please google *where is the irs located* and I think that will pretty much answer your question. The main headquarters is located in Washington D.C however, they do have many branch’s located throughout the U.S.

[Daley]

I filed with HRB for the past two years with no problems. I filed this year on the 19th and was excepted by the IRS yesterday. Last year I got my DD on the 27th of January. I hope it comes early again this year.

[Kay]

Hi I filed on 1/21 was accepted on 1/22, has anyone got the approved status yet?

[jake]

I did mine on the 11th with taxact. I got the email that said they were sent to the irs on the 19th and my state was accepted on the 20th. My federal was still not accepted. It’s just hanging there doing nothing. I called taxact and they told me to call the irs. I didn’t even call them yet. This is crazy. It’s always been accepted within 24 hours before.

[Ifeelya]

I feel your pain. I am in the same boat. I filed my taxes and then found out about the offset line. We’re weeks from being homeless and if we don’t get the return, we’re completely screwed. They’re never going to get their money if they never let us get on our feet. :( I have my fingers crossed for both of us. Update here if you find out anymore info, I will as well.

[Susan]

@Jennifer and @Victoria

What I am noticing right now is that if you filed through TT your getting an update, but if you filed directly with the state your not getting any update via the refund checker.

Double checked my FTB account though and I know they received it, but it hasn’t moved any at all.

Has anyone who files directly with state been able to see an update yet?

I know CA updated their FTB site this year, wondering if this is a bug or something.

[Anonymous]

The SBBT date appears to be 21 days after being accepted. Mine was accepted the 14th and it says Feb 4th. If people compare it changes by the date accepted.

[Anon]

@Dave the IRS Is not closed The IRS doesn’t have a building in Washington D.C

[Jen]

Susan, I used TT.

I typically have my state refund within a week, tops.

Still no dd, but I’ll keep checking!

[Chalce]

I filled mine on the 17th and mine wasn’t accept till 21rst. I was told that they should be received refunds In 5-7 days but HRB is saying February 11th that’s 21 days. Also IRS WMR they say they update it every night but I don’t think that they updat but twice a week. That is going on previous years.

[Keshia]

I still haven’t been accepted

[James]

Bars disappearing wasn’t a good thing for me last year. Didn’t get my ddd until the first wk of May. Needless to say I was devastated. I’m praying to God everything goes smoothly this yr. Don’t wanna scare you but wanted to as share my experience

[MizuSeirei]

So….. Just to jump off topic for a bit, are there any one of us that own fur-babies? I own rescue Siberian Huskies! :)

*This is just my way keep conversation while we wait.*

[Victoria333]

Correction: I filed 2014 directly through FTB but 2015 through TT.

[Victoria333]

Hey All,

I filed directly through FTB and when I checked this AM my status change to : your refund was authorized on 1/22/16… However, I have a netspend and no $ has hit yet?

Will keep you all posted

[Dave K]

I called the IRS, because I filed on 1/20 and still no orange bar on the WMR page. The government is closed for snow is what I heard and I believe it we got hit pretty hard. I’m still getting the normal “wait 24 hour” thing is this normal if they haven’t seen it yet because there closed? I’m just worried a bit because I never had no orange bar for this long, please help

[whitneyf]

The Missouri Department of Revenue has intercepted all or a portion of your state income tax refund. This refund was to satisfy or partially satisfy a debt you owe to the department or another government entity. You will receive a Notice of Debt Offset. Please wait until you receive this notice before contacting the department.

I received this. I owed 24 bucks from last year. Anyone know how long it will take before I get the remainder?

[Kaylee]

@Tiffany Shuler If you don’t owe your tax preparer any fees that are coming from your refund, you’re not going to show up in their system.

[Kaylee]

@melissa, Santa Barbara Bank is not the bank the IRS uses. That’s the bank Turbo Tax/H&R Block uses. TaxAct uses Republic bank. The deposits only go to those banks if you are having them take your fees out from your refund instead of paying it upfront. If you paid your fees, the IRS is going to send the money straight to you.

You can Google whatever tax software you use and “bank” and the proper one will come up.

[melissa]

I see alot of you posting about Santa Barbra band and such is that a universal bank for the irs or somthing and do you have a web site for such banks you could share.

[Nicole]

I got filed 1/6/16 got accepted 1/11/16 still on first bar and I filed with liberty tax

[Anonymous]

@ tiffany go try republic bank then click on taxpayer………. that’s how I found mine. ;)

[Anonymous]

@Anthony and @Greg thx greg appreciate it bro yes state through alabama shows nothing at all…………. now @anthony dude I found it my account is at republic bank……… but says has not received funds for it but shows all my information so I know it’s through them……….. :( my God I hope for a update soon I can’t sleep at all………….. really need this. My god is able please God make a update soon…….. ??

[MrsRodriguez]

What happens if it said they couldn’t find your information for the Santa Barbara Bank. Could it be another bank

[TSD]

@Bethanne if you are on SBBT site from a computer just hit the print screen button then come here and right click paste.

[TSD]

Would someone correct me if I am wrong on this—> Some refunds are deposited by Santa Barbara and some are from Republic Bank and Trust?

[Susan]

@Jen

Did you file directly with state or through a tax service?

[Bethanne]

I have tried to upload a screen shot from Santa Barbara bank it won’t let me. Accepted on the 12th expected Feb 2nd but remember this is the average 21 day wait time they post. Last year I was accepted early and I received my refund on 1/29 at 5pm. I had a no hold credit union so my funds were available immediately. I now have American Express Serve… they also have a no hold credit. So… I’m assuming it’s the same as last year. Word is Government is shut down because of snow… if LeAnn received an update on direct deposit people are either working or it was done electronically.

[Anonymous]

Sorry Refund wanter your having problems with these STUPID TAXES im in Alabama also and this state takes its time on everything

[Curtis]

I filed and was accepted 1/19. Waiting in anxious anticipation to get that Direct Deposit Date :)

[Kimikaze]

The Maine wmr updated and says that my return has been processed and allow 3 weeks for refund. My brother’s updated and says his refund has been mailed to him. His is pending in his bank account and mine is not. Anyone else have any updates of messages?

[Anthony]

It said expected 2/1 but they will start doing dd on 1/29

[Anonymous]
