Does anyone know if the tax form 8917 will be ready at midnight or what time on the 20th they will be ready, turbo tax just said it won’t be avaliable until then.

[Joshua]

Beautifully said Andrea.

[Tarah]

I filed mine today at 630am and so did my mother-in-law and neither of us have got accepted yet. Wondering why as it has never taken me this long to get accepted and I’ve looked over my refund and everything is accurate…. :(

[courtney]

They are not allowing the transcripts to be downloaded online this year …

[Mshopeful]

I use TaxAct it’s great $20’to file federal and state! Can’t beat that:)

[Mshopeful]

After 6 am everyday

[Andrea]

Filed 1/11 with TT. Accepted on 1/12 with the test batch. Please remember that the IRS just officially opened today!! Even though I, like a lot of us on here, were accepted early, does not mean ours will process before the official open day for the IRS. Also, updates have happened on Wednesdays. I hope to see open or to see people post on here that they have been “approved” but everyone needs to remember that this is the IRS. I definitely see the first round of DD being 1/29. Now, in regards to “deposit dates” that people are seeing on the SBBT website. That date is EXACTLY 21 days from the date your return was accepted by the IRS. It is a general date that will generate because most DD is with in 21 days of being accepted. DD is on Fridays, so back to the first round being 1/29. I’m excited like everyone else, I just don’t want to see anyone get upset if they don’t have it this week!!! Good luck everyone!!!

[Corinne]

When and what times are WMR updating this year?

[Cali]

Ok i cant figure out how to do screen shot but this is what the Santa Bank says i dont understand because it contradicts itself
TPG has not received your federal tax refund.
Your expected IRS funding date is 2/1/2016. 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.
YOUR REFUND STATUS
Amount(s) Received by TPG WHAT’S THIS?
Deposits TPG has received – typically from the IRS and State

FUNDING SOURCE EXPECTED AMOUNT RECEIVED AMOUNT DATE RECEIVED
FEDERAL INCOME TAX $* i removed amount here but it said the amount of my taxes
TOTAL * i removed amount here but it said the amount of my taxes

[Sandy]

So no one else got a deposit date but Shannon and Monica today?

[Cali]

How do you post a screen shot sorry my question wasn’t clear?

[Cali]

How do you screenshot?

[keva]

i filed my taxes with turbo tax on 1/14/16 and it was accepted on 1/15/16. I have one bar on WMR. now the wait begins.

[CaliforniaSunshine]

So late last year I went on the IRS website to sign-in to my account to view my transcripts online and wasn’t able to do so. So I checked a few minutes ago and there is still only a link to request the transcripts by mail. Does anyone know if they have removed the online transcript feature from their website this year?

[Anonymous]

I just got accepted! I hope it’s the same timeline as last year. If so I will have my refund by next week!

[Anonymous]

Thank you

[Around2k]

Filed 1/19
Accepted 1/19

I’ll keep everybody posted! I use this site ever year!

[Regina]

I filed and got accepted today also with TT and when I go to the bank site it also says the 9th but I think that’s a generated number simply because they also say they haven’t gotten my refund yet and they always deposit mine into my account the day after they get it.

[Desiree]

I hate I can’t edit my posts.. I don’t always proof read. In previous post, I mean the not tnt and whenever not Wenger or whatever it autocorrected

[Desiree]

Deanna,- always use tnt amount before fees. Wenger you login to TT it is the amount it shows for federal. The IRS doesn’t know what fees you’re paying, so don’t use what should be deposited use the amount before the fees are taken. That amount is shown on TT. Since you used turbo tax it will go through Santa Monica bank. You can see if it shows on this site too. If it does you’ve been accepted. taxpayer.sbtpg.com

[Destiny4evr]

Ditto! Hoping for an issue-free year for everyone!

[amie]

Filed yesterday1/18/16 with TT accepted today 1/19/16 around 2pm cst. Both the WMR and TT sites undated immediately.

[Deanna]

Desiree- I called and it tells me the same thing. Wait 24 hours. but what I don’t really know, which amount. I order the 29.99 fee from TT and there was another fee I guess from my card, I don’t know if I should put the amount after the fees or before the fees?

[Ashley]

Same here

[Desiree]

Deanna, definitely call. I got kicked out of the website until tomorrow for checking too much today so I started calling the number,. (Since I posted it wrong the first time— once again, the correct number is (800)829-1954) You don’t have to wait 21 days and it will tell you if you’ve been accepting and are in processing (moving towards approval, then direct deposit). I hope that helps.

[James]

I filed through TT today and it said it was accepted around 4:45pm. Haven’t checked WMR.. don’t wanna jinx it, had a horrible experience last year due to fraud and didn’t get my money til May :(

[Anonymous]

i filed on 1/16/16 through TT

today 1/19/16 got an acceptance notice about 2:45 p.m.

maybe wednesday i’ll get an approved notice?

[Lisa]

Filed last week through H&R Block – was rejected. Said I had to Mail in my Return.
Filed yesterday through TT and was rejected this morning for IP PIN – went to the link provided by TT and was issued a IP Pin from the IRS website. Submitted Efile again and one hour later it was accepted. Checked WMR and already have one bar. Have never received tax refund in less than 6 months after filing… Praying this year is a fast and good one to all!

[Amy]

Also, SBTPG says expected funding date is 2/9/16!

[Amy]

I filed my taxes and the IRS accepted them today! WMR has already updated to show return received and a statement saying that I should get my refund within 21 days. Keeping my fingers crossed as last year was such a mess with the healthcare issues!

[Desiree]

Deanna- call the number I listed (800)829-1954, the will tell you your status, you don’t have to wait 21 days!!

[Deanna]

Desiree- I am sorry I did not call that number, I will check. Thanks!

[Deanna]

Desiree- lmao dang it! I am so anxious. You’re probably right! I did call that number, and she told me she can’t check it unless its been over 21 days, and I should check to make sure I have the right amount. but I will wait till tomorrow or Thursday. If not I will call again! Hope we all get it soon :)

[JKay]

Does anyone know when WMR updates? Last year it updated overnight…..I was kind of surprised to see that they updated it at noon today….was just curious…

[Desiree]

Deanna, I posted the wrong number. The number to check is 800-829-1954

[Desiree]

Deanna, that usually means you’ve checked too many times. Have you ever seen anything on there? Wait 24 hours from the last time you checked to even try to see anything. If you keep attempting, it will keep you locked in the out. In the mean time, can this number and push number to check the status of your refund. 800-480–2265

[Deanna]

On TT it said I got accepted Jan 14th, but when I go to the IRS.gov and put in my info, it saying I have to wait 24 hours. It has been saying this for a couple of days now. I called The IRS to see why I can’t track, and they told me to make sure my amount was correct, which it is. She also told me, just because it says it on TT that I got accepted doesn’t mean I did with the IRS. I have not receive the email from the IRS that I got accepted, should I receive an email? Any one else having this problem with the IRS website not letting them look at their info?

[Desiree]

My last comment was supposed to be for waitinginoh, not justladylike

[Desiree]

Justladylike that says that on everyone’s TT. It’s a error. Ire supposed to say “will be” not “was”. It’s just showing the account you’re having your money go to. But don’t worry we Will all get it soon!!

[Joanna]

Just got a message from TT that my return was accepted ill check WMR tomorrow to see if there’s an update.

[Jess]

I filed today but not yet accepted but I’m at one bar… Does that mean I’m accepted ????? I filed threw turbo tax.. But it says pending but wmr is on one bar

[Anonymous]

@Tasha Well mine updated about 13 minutes ago and it I went through TT filed 1/18 was accepted today and it says that my refund was deposited to my bank account. Of course I flew on over to my bank account online and nothing but it’s ok cause that means I am one step closer.

[dmoses]

We have filed through efile.com for years and never had a problem. We filed 1/7 and accepted 1/11. All you have to do is fill out your info and submit. I think it’s free for a 1040EZ but we pay 24.95 because I’m on disability and it involves an extra form. It’s really a piece of cake to do. Just double check your figures before you submit. I’m pretty sure any efile place has a live chat to help you. You should check them out!!

[Desiree]

The DDD on TPG is just the generic 21 days since you were accepted. I.d bet money we receive it before then if there’s no issues.

[Tina]

I filed on 1/15/2016 using Turbo tax .. I got the received message today around 12:30 and the accepted email around 1:45 . Hopefully it goes as smooth as last year .?

[Julian A]

Pretty much the same for me. Got accepted 1/11 estimated ddd 2/01. I wonder if there is any chance that we will see it this week?

[Anonymous]

Filed 1/13/16 accepted the same day at 3:36pm
1bar on WMR 1/13/16
I’m waiting on that 2nd bar! This is my first year not having an offset, so I guess I’m apart of the early test batch?? Hopefully I’m on the daily cycle now.

[Melissa]

I used to take mine to hr block and pay to have them done but it’s really unnecessary now with all of the free tax software available. Step by step process and it’s free for the most part depending on income and if you have state taxes. For the past 4 years, I’ve filed them myself and saved a ton of money.

[toya]

I have not received a letter saying they was taking my refund but I call TOP….. AND THEY SAY MY REFUND MAY BE TAKEN. WILL THIS REALLY HAPPEN ESPECIALLY IF I’M IN A REHABILITATION PROGRAM

[Regina]

I filed around 12pm today with TT and my federal return got accepted a few minutes . Just waiting on state.

[Anonymous]

Just adding my own information, even though it isn’t any different from the common group experience here. I filed with TurboTax on Jan 10th, and I was accepted by the IRS on Jan 12th. I was able to see the first bar on WMR starting this past Saturday, Jan 16th. With years of experience e-filing, whether I am accepted early or not, I am hopeful of Jan 29th for a deposit date, but expect Feb 5th to be accurate. Good luck all!

[tswan20]

No SBBT is only when they are collecting fees on behalf of the preparer such as Turbotax

[Anonymous]

My niece filed her taxes and for the first time she’s expecting a return. She filed on Turbo Tax for free so she’s wondering if her refund will go through SBBT or come directly to her bank account??

I’m not sure since I’ve never filed for free and always have fees taken out.

Thanks for your help! ???

[Hillary]

I have always filed with H&R Block…always paying an extra 2-300 $for someone to do my taxes. Debating on doing them myself this year and going through someone else. What’s are your experiences…. Easier… Faster… What?

Tia – Hillary in Texas!

[Johnny B Good]

Filed 1/13. Accepted 1/14. Still on one bar. My state redund (Indiana) says it will be deposited on 1/22.

[Anonymous]

I filed yesterday as well but I filed around 4pm Pacific Time. I filed on TT still not accepted. Really hoping I get some news by the end of the week.

Last year, I filled on January 21st accepted the same day. I got approved on the following Wednesday and had my money the next day around 8pm. I also had a 2k offset! I really hope the same is true this year! 2 years I filed on January 27th didn’t get my refund till February 20th.
I had to watch a bunch of people who filed after me get their refund before me! Even people who had offsets! It was absolutely horrible! I hope I never go through that again.

[Bryan]

Work for the irs, stop worrying, the official day to start accepting returns is today. Tomorrow begins the official processing start date for e-filers.

[JKay]

I filed yesterday, 1/18 with H&R Block. I looked at the WMR IRS site this morning and nothing. I checked about 30 minutes ago and it showed its been received and I had 1 bar. Good Luck! I am hoping everything goes smooth as well. I had a few issues last year that delayed my refund.

[Anonymous]

Filed 1/18/16 with TT still hasn’t been accepted, hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. Just here to see what other peoples experiences are and when they get accepted and when they get their refund. I had a lot of trouble last year and this site helped a lot. Will update when I get accepted and when I have a date for the refund..

[Adria]

If we are going to get our refund this week, we will know by tomorrow morning. The IRS updates all refunds on Wednesday and deposit on Friday.

[K]

I understand processing could differ based on the complexity of each individual return, but acceptance doesn’t make sense, since its supposed to be a first come first accepted sort of thing.

[JKay]

I filed with H&R yesterday, 1/18. I checked the WMR this morning and nothing on that website. I checked it just a few minutes ago and it shows 1 bar and that they have received it. Good Luck to everyone!

[Beth has kids]

I went to the sbt website that turbo tax uses . They are the ones that process tt refunds. That website says it is expecting my return of Feb 2 2016. WMR still only has one bar accepted not approved.

[K]

Thanks @Mike, I checked the wheres my refund website too and it hasn’t been accepted yet.

[Melissa]

I filed on 1/15 and check WMR today around noon. It updated to one bar and topic 152 but TT still says pending?? Can anyone help me out? If there’s one bar, does that mean it is accepted?

[K]

Grr! @ Christy0111, that’s another person who filed after I did and got theirs accepted before mine.

[Tiarra]

I got accepted on the 11th and have a customer number on SBGT with a DD by 02/01/2016, i only have one bar on where’s my refund

[Mike]

@K

HRB website still shows mine as pending but IRS website was updated aprox 11:00 am today with one bar. My experience with HRB website has been slow in the past. Check the IRS website.

[Christy0111]

I filed with H&R on 1/8/16, accepted today and just got one bar about 5 minutes ago. Good luck to everyone! Fingers crossed for an issue free tax season!

[Levvy]

I called liberty and some people were approved on today already they’re gonna be approving them all day

[loving my babies]

@tasha mine says the same thing on tt but i think its juat letting you know that’s where itll be deposited

[Alicia]

@Tasha mines said it was deposited into my bank account

[Sean]

@Tasha

Mine says deposited as well. It’s more of a placeholder.. doesn’t mean it’s actually been deposited. Keep track on the irs website for a more accurate timeline.

[Cynthia]

@Tasha I do

@Shawn I have a customer number but I used TT last year could that be why?

[Sean]

CA Return accepted @ 9:36am according to TT. No updates on CA website, should see that tmrw!
