Hey, Jen MC

What does Sbbt stand for? I don’t think I have seen that before.

[Andre Black]

Filed on the 16th. Accepted on the 19th around 10am. Still on one bar. Good luck to all!!

[Jkay]

I filed on the 1/19 and was accepted on 1/19. 1 bar on WMR.

[lisal]

we filed on 19th with HR also…got accepted today. we have ed credits ans home business credits

[Gennefur]

It actually updates every day or so they say : ) This year when I was received it showed up on WMR right away and last year it was at least a day. On the IRS web site it says:

Where’s My Refund? is available almost all of the time. However, our system is not available every Monday, early, from 12:00 am (Midnight) to 3:00 am Eastern Time.

https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/When-is-Where’s-My-Refund-Available%3F

is the link. Last year I got my refund before it went to bar 3 so I guess who knows this year. I am planning on by the 2/5 and if I get it before great. It is normally 10 days from going into the IRS to my account except for 2 years ago when the IRS tagged everyone for fraud and I was delayed 2 weeks behind the next batch.

[Sugar]

Does it tickle your fancy to lie (although you’re not very good at it) to people that KNOWS how this works?

[Sugar]

I filed on the 17th. I was accepted on the 19th. Just accepted, not approved yet.

[Cynthia]

Okay my question:
If they only update on “Wednesday” Then why was I accepted on 1/11/16 at 3:30 PM est and was able to see it on WMR site?

I hate waiting but oh well have no choice lol…..fingers crossed someone gets an update soon!!

[Jen mc]

[Rozilyn]

Anything is possible

[MsQuick]

I was accepted on 1/19 and have 1 bar, not approved as of yet.

[Trina]

I just watched this video and it says that they only update the WMR site on Wed so it looks like for those of us who are showing only one bar there will be no update till next week https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/General-Tax-Tips/Video–What-Days-of-the-Week-Does-the-IRS-Deposit-Tax-Refunds-/INF20323.html

[Anonymous]

Still not accepted for me…..filed 1/19 at 630am with hrblock online and nothing ugh.

[Scott]

Filed 1/14/2016 with tax act
Accepted same day as early filer test batch
One bar on where’s my refund.

If it’s works out the same as last year I filed 1/8/15 and was accepted 1/14/15 as early file test batch. Didn’t get any updates last year until 1/26/15 a Wednesday and was supposed to be issued 1/28/15 but received it two days early on that Wednesday 1/26/15 when it updated

[tswan20]

Hello all. This is the forum for all who were accepted 1/19/16 so we can update each other on our progress.

[Pam in MD]

Hello Mike, mine is doing the same exact thing. I was accepted 01/20 at 6:16 PM, but the MD site is not updated with my information. So I called and they said they can see it in their system. I dialed (410) 260-7701. Instead of pushing #1 and inputting your SSN, just wait on the line and someone will come through.

[Anonymous]

The SBBT site says mine will be deposited Feb 4th, mine was accepted the 14th. I have not counted days but think that’s about 21 days so it’s a generic guess. They always project later so people don’t blow up their phones if it doesn’t hit at midnight the projected day.

[Sunshine2000]

Filed 1/21 @ 2:30pm Est
Accepted 1/21 @ 2:41pm est

Irs2go app already has me at one bar
Hoping the rest goes as smoothly!

[Josephine]

I check TPG and it shows the amount I’m receiving, and states this:

TPG has not received your federal tax refund.
Your expected IRS funding date is 2/9/2016. Check the status of your refund by visiting http://WWW.IRS.GOV/REFUNDS.
When we receive your refund, it will be processed according to your original instructions.

[Rozilyn]

Well the state of Michigan is not processing our state returns until January 29th which I normally get my State before I get anything, I don’t know whether to believe that person or not about the two bars but it’s not really that important, because I got a one year and only had one bar it never did go to approve it went from accepted to direct deposited

[Tinka]

I file with freetaxusa.com I’m self employed and had to file a schedule C. Been filing with them for over 5yrs never had a problem. I use them because I don’t have to pay a fee to file schedule C.

[k]

@Melissa- mine hasn’t been accepted yet either. I also filed with HRblock.

[Tasha]

MY information won’t show up on the sbbt site it’s saying it doesn’t have an account for me is that normal or not

[Tanna]

Update- I filed 1/19 with H&R Block, checked WMR at 1:00pm and I just got accepted. I’m not sure why this year it’s taken a couple days every other year I’ve filed before I left the office I’d already have an acceptance.

[Feefee]

Just checked on Santa Barbara tax products and the amount I am to receive does show up. This morning it would not allow me on the site do to updating. So it is getting close!

[Wesley]

Anyone get any info on their AZ state yet? I got accepted 2 days ago but my info isn’t on aztaxes.gov

[Hazel]

Filed with HR block 1/16 and entered wrong IP PIN. Return got rejected 1/19 and HR Block stated there’s a processing error and your return couldn’t be efiled. It did not give option to fix issue and refile. Have to Print and mail return. Contacted HR block and couldn’t get it fixed and refilled.

I filed with turbotax 1/20 and return accepted in few minutes!

[tswan20]

No one, regardless of when they accepted your return, began processing before the 19th. They test the efile system early with whatever returns are in the queue and that is what they have done for years.

[Bobyl]

Had the same problem, i filed on 01/18/2016, i called the 800 number and managed to get past the automated system. talked to a person that told me to wait, but just as soon as i hung up i got a text saying it had been accepted. they didn’t admit it but they did something to fix it.

[Trina]

We filled on the 8th and was accepted on the 12th. ON TT it says should be here between Jan 19th and Feb 8th. I just looked on WMR and it still is at one bar. :(

[Anonymous]

I filed 1/19 at 630 am through H&RBlock and my motherinlaw did hers at 7am same way-neither of us have been accepted yet. Anyone having an issue getting accepted? Dont know who I should call but i’m definitely not happy as it never takes more then a few hours in the past for it to be accepted.

[Jkay]

Franny- I had an offset last year, it took maybe a week longer to get my refund, that was it. It really wasn’t a big deal.

[Sean]

@byrdchem & @susan

I’m getting the same message:

“We do not have a record of your 2015 California Income Tax return in our files.”

Accepted on 1/19. Can’t check anything online because they have to mail the pin number for any FTB account.

I’ll update when there is any change.

[Jennifer]

@jasmine if we were accepted before the 19th shouldn’t we already see a second bar tho??? I got accepted on the 11th and I’m still at one bar!!! Give me some relief please

[Around2k]

As of last night, WMR shows 1 Bar and our return is accepted!

[Kaylee]

I had an offset 3 years ago. It didn’t delay my refund at all and I got it 2 weeks after I filed. They just processed it, took out what I owed and sent me the rest. I’m sure I have another offset this year but it’s only about $100 or so.

[Holly]

I filed the 18th, still haven’t been accepted! I called the 800 number and got no where! I just want to know if my taxes were accepted!

[Anonymous]

For those asking about TPG login failure. The site is back up. I just tried to login and it finally took me to the page. No refund in it yet though. UGH

[byrdchem]

My California return was accepted (TurboTax) on 1/19/16, but the CA FTB web site says “We do not have a record of your 2015 California Income Tax return in our files.”

Does this sound normal?

Thanks,

Larry

[Shar]

Oh I forgot to say through Tax Act! I got it back pretty quickly last year.

[Shar]

Filed on 1/19, accepted on 1/20 and nothing yet, as expected.

[Anonymous]

Accepted 1/12 for Fed still 1 bar on WMR. State was just accepted today 1/21. Last year I received my State and Fed the same day

[Desiree]

If you read that article it says that, “there have been reports of delay FOR YOU STATE REFUND and that there have been NO reports of the IRS having delays with FEDERAL refunds; all federal refunds should be issues within 21 days.”

[KinFL]

I had offsets on and off, and it does not tie up your refund. The amount is automatically deducted and the balance sent to you via DD or check. I have an offset on the TOP hotline for the last 2 years, but no money has been taken yet…wondering if it will be this year. Good Luck!

[tswan20]

He’s not lying there are several articles regarding state taxes being delayed. Here is one

http://taxdelay.com/

[jennipher]

I guess we all gonna have to make signs and stand outside the irs headquarters and scream . ITS MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW. but i spoke with my bank and they confused about whats going on. But if anyone bars changes please keep us posted

[Anonymous]

Not sure where you heard that, but I can’t find any article about any delays. Don’t listen to him.

[Guillermo]

Last Year I filed Jan 21… and got the whole ID verification process done in february… all the way until december I was getting no new info on the IRS website about my refund… i fot transcripts and still pending…
Now I cannot check last year’s refund status because it brings me to this year’s. I filed this year and it was accepted…

will this affect this year’s refund… should I call the IRS about last year’s?

[al]

Irs. reporting delays with new system

[-Crystal-]

Do not go to this link, it is social engineering fraud.

[Lilma]

No update on my federal return but I have a ddd for my state 1-26-16 and I have always got my state and federal at the same time but who knows maybe this years different would be nice to get it all the 26th Lol

[AndreaKY]

I received my PIN in the mail last week and filed as usual via TT. My federal was accepted on 1/19 when the IRS started accepting returns. As of now, I have 1 bar on WMR to show it’s been accepted. I will update when it moved to approved. I agree with James, hopefully the purpose of the PIN is keep things moving normally!

[Mike]

I got an email from HRB that my refund was accepted last night 1/20. MD state site has nothing yet.

[Anonymous]

Files with H&R Block online on Jan 19 at 6:30 am…still not accepted ? just got off the phone with them and they said they don’t know what’s going on and they would escalate to Tier 2 and it could take 48 to 72 hours to hear back. This is the 2nd year in a row they have done this. This will be my last year using this bs company.

[larry]

hello, anyone having issues with why the following banks haven’t been credited should get back to me via text ord email (585) 502-8656

sbbt, usaa,boa,chase,federal credit union, and any local banks.

[Tamara]

Ina I filed directly to the State of Ohio for free….and they have new security measures….you can check under ohio.gov your refund status and it will tell you when it was received and if your under manual review.

[Susan]

Filed 01/15 directly with state FTB. Confirmed received, but no other updates since then. Hoping tomorrow.

[Cynthia]

@Miranda… I am glad I am not the only one getting that message started yesterday and when call I get a different recording than the day before. I wonder if that means maybe they are getting info about our taxes…

@HersheyAmazon if this site had a like button I would like your status :)!!

[jennipher]

To those of you who’s worrying about why we are talking about the irs giving us OUR MONEY PLEASE CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BACK THE HELL OFF
(You must need your money too hell you on this site) THERE’S NO I IN TEAM 《••••••••

[HersheyAmazon]

In 2014 I filed early and my taxes were flagged for audit, not sure if it was being I was an early filer or what, BUT I enlisted the assistance of a tax advocate and with in a week my taxes were released to me. What pissed me off about the process was how the IRS sent me vague letters, instead of asking for what they wanted up front, a copy of my ID, SS Card, Check Stubs and W-2s.

****For those that are anxious about getting your refund back, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE, it’s YOUR money that you have loaned to the government INTEREST FREE- 365 DAYS!!!! IJS****
>>>>>>But it is absurd to depend on a particular date for a refund posting to your bank account and planning important things around that, sh!t happens, after all it is the GOVERNMENT<<<<<<

FFWD to 2015, I Filed , no problems, I received my refund with in the normal 2 weeks.

Present Day 2016, I filed on January 19th 2016 around 9 am and was accepted about 6 hours later that same day of course.

I want my refund with in those 21 days, because if I owed they would want their money and if I didn’t pay by the date I anticipated, they would certainly come after me, charge me with interest, liens etc… so PAY UP IRS LOL.

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know what is going on with TPG error when logging in?? Arg.

[Tiara]

Nothing here. Filed 1/19 accepted 1/19. Ok tap says has not been received as of yet

[Anonymous]

Of course they don’t have proof; they’re lying. What they state in their ignorant comment is enough to indicate they don’t know very much about how tax season works.

[Regina]

Has anyone in the state of Maryland gotten any updates.

Filed TT on 1/19/16
Got accepted for both federal and state on 1/19/16(ONe at like 4 pm the other at like 11pm)

[Anonymous]

People can do and ask whatever they want. So what if they check WMR all day every day.. Who cares if they ask the same question over and over..

Don’t want to read as about it? Well you should know what to do..

No wonder kids kill themselves for online bullying.. You “adults” don’t know how to act either

This post is suppose to be positive.. But some feel they have to name call and threaten people… GROW UP!!!!

[Ina]

My state has not even been accepted yet and I filed thru TT on Jan. 19th.

[Violeta]

I filed my tax return on the 15th and got accepted on the 19th. I know refund will be arrived in my bank before Feb. 5th…. You don’t have to keep checking on “Where’s my refund?” all day everyday. Let them work on everybody’s tax returns too. Be Patient!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Melissa]

I filed with H&R Block January 19, 2016. I received a text that my return was completed but nothing more after that. When I check my status on the H&R Block site, it states “when the IRS begins receiving returns, you will be notified.” I thought the IRS started accepting the 19th so that’s why I filed. Thoughts?

[Ncgirl]

Yep me too – error.

[Kinder]

It’s the general topic about refund information

[Chrissy]

Yes, That just means your refund is being processed. :)
