Last year I filed and was accepted on Jan 23rd received direct deposit Jan 30 ..5 business days later!! This year I filed on the 16th was accepted the 19th with one bar..if it goes like last year I’m thinking DD will be Jan 26 or Jan 29! Honestly pretty sure all DD will start the 26th and 29th..no need to check the bars all the time..and be locked out for the day..give it till the 26th!! Last year I got my DD before the last bar even updated..they are working on them be patience ..it’s coming ?

for those of you wondering how to do a screenshot on a windows pc its very easy. hold windows key and press the prt scr button, voila. screenshot. so no excuses to those lying trolls. you can find the screenshot via pictures\screenshots in your quick access. also the prt scr button is usually at the top right of the keyboard next to scroll lock.

Just a note to all of HR Block people, I filed at HRBLOCK.com on 01/18/2016, as of this morning still not even an accepted. I called the 800 number and as soon as i got off the phone i got updated to accepted.

I forgot to add that I got my refund 10 days after I filed and was accepted on the same day last year. So if that holds to be the same this year the 29th should be the first batch of DDs. I am planning on the 2/5 but I will take the happy surprise of 1/29.

[Gennefur]

I’ll post my status so other people know we’re the same and maybe feel better : ) I filed with TT on 1/19, I was accepted the same day two hours later. WMR this year updated right away to show one bar, if I recall every other year you had to wait for the one bar to even show. It is still just sitting there at one bar. The IRS says that WMR will update every day but if it is like my experience from last year it won’t update until next week and then you should see a DD date. If you filed before the 19th and are still waiting to be accepted you might be waiting on who you filed with to send the batch of returns over. I know every year people who filed before the starting date have this happen every year and the name of who is stuck changes but seems to happen every year. I myself always wait until the day filing opens to file mine. I was in that batch a couple of years ago who had their returns delayed for 6 weeks because of the IRS fraud kick in on their error. I was like forget you IRS you can’t use me for your test runs and have mine be the one to find your bugs and delay me again. : ) But if everything goes the same as last week people won’t see the bar moving until most likely this weekend/Monday and then you will start to see real DD dates flooding.

[Amie]

I filed on the 11th accepted on the 12th. I am still at one bar also. I used TT.

[Anonymous]

Michele is my wife, leave her alone! or i will sue you and collect your tax refund.

[Nichole]

My NYS return changed to “received” today. I don’t remember that ever happening this early.

Still waiting on approval for Federal. I filed and it was accepted on the 14th. I filed early the past couple years but both years still didn’t get my refund until the beginning of February.

[Gennefur]

It is normal for it to disappear. I had that happen to me last year as it moved from 1 to two bars and then the last bar never went through for me until the day after I got my DD. I wouldn’t worry about it : ) As long as they got it and you didn’t get rejected you should be good.

[tnikole27]

last year i believe irs wmr updated overnight on wednesdays. hopefully we’ll see an update in the morning

GO AWAY STEVE!

i did my taxes with turbo tax online efile. on 1/15 was accepted 1/19 still at one bar wth!!! when do they update? i was praying for a deposit the 22nd but guess its going to be the 29th

[Jennifer]

I don’t understand!!!! I filed January 4th with Jackson Hewitt. I got an email on January 11th saying I was accepted by IRS. Today January 20th still no move on my status bar!!!! What’s going on???? Are they just approving them once a week this year??

[Rick]

So I filed my taxes and have health insurance through my employer. I just got a form from the Marketplace (1095-A) saying I had insurance through them.

On my tax return I checked I had insurance all year not through the healthcare exchange. While I did apply for coverage I never got it through the Marketplace.

Just wandering what effect this will have on my taxes/refund.

[xen]

Please only post here if you’re IRS WMR has updated. Please use the format below in order to keep this organized for everyone to use.

This is my information, please change the information when you post your own.

I file on Jan 6
Accepted Jan 11
Haven’t been approved yet why

[Anonymous]

I wish I can post pictures t o show your lying. You did not get approved

[Michele]

My Indiana refund will be direct deposited on 1/22/2016. I got the notification this morning.

[somehope]

If you requested to have your refund credited to your bank it wil not. However if you requested the use of a netspend card or something then it will through another bank.

[Anonymous]

Alot of people have been accepted. But the actual irs has not issued any refunds and will not for at least 1 more week. Accepted and approved are 2 completely different things. Nobody in texas has been approved.

[Cynthia]

Does anyone have 2 bars yet? This is so annoying, if they are doing FIFO doesn’t that mean that early filers who were accepted should see something? Last year I received my refund in less than a week.

[Tasha]

Sometimes you cant go by the irs wmr because last year I got my refund before I moved to the second bar I got my refund 7 days after getting my return accepted my 7 day mark would be the 22ND so u never know

[Anonymous]

Just so all of you don’t feel mis lead by a bunch of crap. Turbotax has announced today a few have been approved and nobody has a date for direct deposit. So anyone saying anything different is full of crap and is just trying to make the rest of you ansy for your checks. Be patient irs is in full swing. Give it 2 more weeks and by then 50% of you will have your money.

[K]

Around 3:30 yesterday I got an update from HR Block saying my return was rejected- I had my sons social security number transposed… I fixed it right away and resubmitted it yesterday. What are the chances today it will be accepted? As of right now it is still pending, but yesterday I didn’t get an email from IRS or HR block until after 3:00. Thanks!

[tswan20]

Last year no one got approved until that Sunday morning. I don’t anticipate any different this year. It’s the same cycle as last year. Tuesday after the holiday the IRS opens and DDD that weekend for deposits the next Friday

[Sid]

Think it may mean that youve been flagged. Happened to me some years ago. Can be wrong though.

[AMBER]

filed 1/11 accepted 1/11 at 1pm still one bar, hoping to see an update tonight or Friday

[Jodi]

If the IRS started prossesing today, will it update our status tomorrow for today? Mine, like a lot of you was excepted on the 14th. Was hoping for an early exceptance, early refund this year.

[Prima]

Well not approved yet and my husbands got accepted the 12th..glad im not the only one….trying to be patient

[Kinder]

Can anyone confirm or deny that the irs will be doing “first in first out” this year? It has not been like that previously, but heard or read somewhere it would be this year.

[Tasha]

Auto correct I hate it has anyone moved up to the second bar yet

[Franchesca]

Hello everyone my bar is still at accepted however last year my. Refund was approved on feb 3rd and deposited on the 4th a week earlier than they had told me it was gonna be. However my refund was deposited on a weds and in the middle of the dsy around noon. Hopefully we will see updates soon. Good luck to everyone!

[Levvy]

Me either* sorry missed the “m”

[Levvy]

E either maybe it will update Friday night for us to all get it on 1/29 that’s what I’m praying for

[MikeyT]

I was accepted on 1/12/16 and still no 2nd bar…

[Harley77]

I checked wmr and no second bar. I was so sure it would have updated today.

[Kinder]

I really expected to have a DDD today. Filed 1/5 accepted 1/11. Always glad to see I’m not alone in not getting an update. In past years I’ve gotten return back in 9 days. Don’t think that happens as of now :(

[WaitingPatiently]

Hello has anyone else experience having one bar, then it disappears and displays this message ? Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.

What does that mean?

[Nycwifeandmom]

That’s normal. I haven’t filed yet. I have to wait on my husband’s military w2 but remembering from last year, it happened to a lot of us. It should reappear within a week with a DDD.

[Wesley]

Well no DDD for me :( was hoping a good start to a day I already know is going to suck.

[shawn]

My pizza bars are gone Im an early filer anyone else see changes?

[Tasha]

Has anyone over up to the second d bar and if so what was your ddd

[Jennifer]

I filed Jan 4th and got accepted Jan 11th but still haven’t been approved!! If I don’t get approved today do I have to wait till next Wednesday? I filed with Jackson Hewitt.

[Hope]

Thanks everyone I have received my school 1098 and will be filing tomorrow….. Good luck everyone

[angela]

Hope,
Also, you can do this without an agency, i just mentioned that because i would never have thought of that trick on my own. It was simple and quite convenient.

[angela]

Hope,
This happened to me a few years back. That was when i was still using a tax agency and not tt. What we did in my case because i had an income and a dependant to claim as well was filed my taxes without the education credit to receive the child credit and eitc. Then when February 20th came (that was the date they started accepting education credits), i filed an amended return and received the additional credit for that. It went as smooth as butter. The additional credit for the amendment took a little longer to receive though because they had to issue a check instead of dd. I have filed an amendment online with tt in the past as well because i forgot about a small w2 from a job i held for two months, it was very simple ands took about 15 minutes.

[Anonymous]

Did you attempt to call 800-304-3107? The system will update around 6am EST tomorrow (Wednesday).

Best of luck

[Anonymous]

Toya, are you sure that the letter came from the IRS and that it is not a scam? Call the IRS, not the number listed on any letter you got in the mail. They will tell you what you need to know. As everyone’s tax situation is different, it is impossible to gauge whether they will be amicable or not. If it is a legitimate offset, the IRS can and will seize your return. If your return was direct deposited, they can debit or freeze your bank account to satisfy the outstanding balance. As I stated earlier, it would be best to contact the IRS as it is impossible to determine or guess as to what the outcome may be.

Best of luck

[Anonymous]

Just a reminder, the IRS will only contact you via mail. If someone calls/emails etc. you claiming to be the IRS, it is a scam. Be smart, and if you aren’t completely sure it never hurts to double check.

If you need any help, feel free to let me know.

[Anonymous]

@chiinadollmimi it should be available to you now, if not try again in an hour or so.

[Anonymous]

You can file at any time with a 1098, schools have until Feb 15th to get you that form. You can also contact the schools registrar or business office to obtain this. Please note, they are not required to supply you with this form until the 15th, however they may as a courtesy.

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone. My wife and I got filed this evening. Had a kid this last year and bought a house so I expect it to take a little time. I have been on this site for a while and am pretty familiar with how this works. If anyone has any questions, let me know and I will do my best to help answer them. Good luck everyone, I hope this is a great (and easy!) season for everyone.

Is it true Brian that irs.gov updates daily or should I say during the times that you can’t check online? Also do they only direct deposit on Friday or is it on Wednesday and Fridays? I remember years ago I got mine on a Wednesday.

[Anonymous]

I filed the 11th and got accepted the 13th and got one bar at this time. But their are 2 people saying that got a ddd for the 22nd but I don’t think it will be to the 29th the first ddd so lets see what happens it would be nice to get it then but I don’t see it happening.

[Anonymous]

I do believe that tonight people might start seeing ddd. irs.gov will do updates from 3:30 to 6am so lets see what people say tomorrow about ddd but I think it will be the 29th. Last year the first ddd that was on the charts was the 2-6 and I got mine the friday before but I was accepted early last year to the first day last year I think was the 20th. So I am thinking because of that it will be the 29th at least I am hoping it will be then but it would be really nice to get it this friday the 22nd but I don’t see that happening that quick.

[Anonymous]

I believe so Desiree because someone asked her to snapshot a picture of it so that people would believe it and she kept commenting but has ever showed proof of the dates she has said.

[Anonymous]

I am by no means endorsing this as fact but it is yet another guess when DD will hit. Mine says Thursday. I wonder if I check it Thursday if “April’s fools” or something similar will pop up.

@Tarah, the good news is those not accepted are usually immediate also. For some reason they are taking longer this year.

[Regina]

My state just got accepted ???

[Desiree]

Michelle-I believe the only two people in the universe who claim to have a DDD are lying.

[Desiree]

Cali, that just means you’ve been accepted, not approved. Scroll to the right” the received amount. If you haven’t been approved it will say $0.00

[Anonymous]

Last year was only overnight, but, as Mshopeful said, it can occur any time of day this year. Good luck!

[Anonymous]

I did my taxes on taxact.com on the 11th and accepted on the 13th and I have only one bar . I have seen on efile calculator that I could get it as soon as 20th and as late as 3rd of feb. I am hoping for the same as Monica and Shannon for the 22nd. But on other calendars I seen the first date to be the 29th and then others say the first friday in feb so I don’t know what is true. irs.gov always gives me one date and then a few days later it changes to a closer one so don’t know what is the case with when the ddd will be. Please anyone that gets a ddd or a second bar screenshot so we can see that it is really a ddd out or if it is lies being told
