[Amanda]

I filed with Jackson Hewitt for the first time with them on 1/11. I got an email the next day on 1/12 that my federal was accepted by IRS and today got an email from Jackson Hewitt that my state was accepted. I am able to go into JH website and see all my information to pending and accepted. Just the waiting game now.

[Navywife757]

Filed yesterday and was accepted today around 2:30pm Eastern time. It said should receive refund January 19 thru February 8th.

My spouse and I had our IP PIN emailed to us through turbotax. It took maybe 5 minutes.

I guess we won’t hit the 2nd bar of the pizza tracker until at least 1.19.. is that correct?

[AndreaKY]

This will be my first year using an IP Pin (not to be confused with a regular PIN for e file). Last year I filed, not knowing I needed one and it was a mess. Thankfully I used the Taxpayer Advocate service to move it along and got my refund in April.

This year, I have yet to receive my letter with my new IP PIN. I was going to retrieve it online, but the system is down for maintenance :(

If you need the site to get your IP PIN once it’s back up and running, here it is:
https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-An-Identity-Protection-PIN

I have no choice but to wait for the letter or the website, whichever becomes available first….

Has anyone ever filed with an IP PIN and has a success story (aka normal/fast refund date)?

I was accepted Jan 12th. I wonder if this means we will be getting the refunds sooner…

Good Luck Everyone!!!

[MoukieB]

I usually use free tax USA however, this year I used Liberty Tax and I have regretted it since. I call and ask questions and no one ever know the answers. I was lied to by the manager and head boss of that location. They just don’t seem that trust worthy to me. Any thoughts on them?

[Tammi]

Got accepted on the 13th ,fingers crossed it will be recieved early..

[Jasmine]

What are yalls filing experience with Jackson Hewitt, I filed yesterday but I’m regretting it and thinking I should have stuck with TT

[Harley]

We filed with tax slayer on Jan 9th and received an email tonight saying it’s been accepted.

[Anonymous]

I spoke with someone from TPG (SBTPG) and I was informed that no one will be allowed to see their info until Jan. 19th. I you happen to hear different, please inform me and thank you.

[Cynthia]

I filed with TT and received this update on Monday 1/11/16

Your expected refund delivery is between January 19 and February 8

The IRS expects to issue more than 9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days.

0% have received their money already

**IRS Site says 21 days from accepted date of 1/11/16 Fingers Crossed!

[MiaM]

Early filer here (usually an early filer with no issues year after year, except last year with Healthcare with a mistake I did).

Otherwise SredactedPants’ timetable is pretty spot on.

I Filed w TT 1/7/2016
Email from TT IRS accepted on 1/11/2016 (and est of refund Jan 19- Feb 8).
First bar on WMR (Received) showing today, Wednesday, 1/13/2016 (hence Wed updates).
(First bar shows Received, second bar will show Approved, final bar will show Refund Sent).

I’ll provide updates. Good luck everyone.

Early filer here (always an early filer with no issues year after year, except last year with Healthcare and error I did which caused a two month delay).

First bar on IRS WMR (Received) 1/13/2016.

Filing with TT.. can’t file until tmrw, waiting on form 2106 to be ready

[ketta]

I had on offset last year as well. I settled my debt with the creditor and was taken out of default and off the offset list. When I called the 800 number it was still saying that I had an offset, so I called the Dept. of Treasury and spoke with a gentleman and he told me that I was no longer an active offset. He said that the phone system hadn’t been updated.

[Melly]

Filed early January 7th,2016. Was accepted January 12th,2016. Let the countdown begin!! I just hope this means I’ll be getting approved shortly.

[mominillinois]

@Leslie, I’m not sure of the difference between daily and weekly. But if I get accepted in the first batch, I have my refund by the end of Jan. So I must be daily?

[Leslie]

Just checked my statement from last year. I filed early but was a weekly instead of daily and got my refund 2/4 deposited in my account and that was also my ddd. So this year I will likely be the same and looking for a ddd of 2/3

[mominillinois]

never heard of that…but I see on the facebook page a lot of people file without their w2. I am self employed, so I don’t have a w2.

[atb043]

Has anyone heard about the IRS W-2 verification testing? I have always filed before I got my W-2 because I knew exactly what would be on it. I have no idea if mine this year will have this id number. Also Taxslayer doesn’t ask for it. I hope these don’t screw up returns and refunds.

Here is the info on the IRS site : https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/IRS-Tests-W-2-Verification-Code

[mominillinois]

I was accepted early the last 3 years (have not been accepted yet for this tax year) and always had mine by the end of Jan with the first DDD.

[mominillinois]

Becky, last year TT had a form issue. Thankfully I submitted mine thru TAx ACt and all went well. I have not read anything on the igmr fb page saying any issues this year though!

[mominillinois]

I think I saw someone on the igmr fb page say they are. Tax Act is using Republic Bank.

[Mary]

Anyone know if SBBT will be used by Turbo Tax this year?

[shondell123]

I filed today 1/12/2016 and got accepted today 1/12/2016

[Mom of 3]

Accepted by IRS today! Let the stress begin!

[angela]

MInes say transmitted (1/11) and pending in TT website….. what does this mean?

[Kelly]

I filed w TT and received an email stating the IRS accepted my return. WMR shows: Refund Status

Return Received:

Your return has been received and is currently being processed.

TT estimates refund date of Jan 19 – Feb 8

[Joe]

I file early every year and gets accepted early every year also and never had any issues but I always get my return usually the first group after the IRS officially starts processing which is the 19th. Bet we will see deposits Jan 29th and on. Just a guess.

[Dee]

Same here

[Amber]

I filed on 1/10/2016 and was accepted today 1/12/2016.

[Jlee]

I got that email today as well! It would be great to get the return much earlier than expected. Anyone think that will happen?

[Joe]

I filled yesterday with TT and just got my email also saying accepted. I have never had issues being excepted early so hope the same this year.

[becky]

Also, it seems like even if you are accepted early no one ever gets there refund earlier then the first group does. Is that right?

[JustLadyLike]

Filed with TT and got accepted on 1/11. All I can do is wait. Good luck all!

[Jasmine]

I got accepted Jan 11 2016 as well so how early will we get a refund

[Becky]

I was trying to remember that last year they said first deposit date would be 5th but actually got mine on January 30th. Has that been the case most years? Is it earlier then they anticipate if there’s no problems with your return?

[LaQuishia]

I did mines on 1/7 as well and also received a notification mines were accepted… Just wonder when will it be approved… Good luck yall

[Chelsea]

WMR shows accepted here too.

[MiLeBr]

Mominillinois – if you don’t mind – what happened with TT last year. I usually use them and you have me worried.

Filed on 1.7.2016 got accepted today 1/11/2016 at 3:30 P.M. I need you to all cross your fingers that this year is a breeze. Thanks

[Mary]

I filed my taxes with TT on 1/7/2016 and got an email from TT today that the IRS accepted my return 1/11/2016 at 3:30 p.m. Now I just pray lol

[Mary]

I just got an email from Turbo Tax I filed 1/7/2016 and they were excepted by the IRS today 1/11/2013 at 3:30 p.m. I cant believe it was so fast!

[dmoses]

We filed 1/6 through efile.com. Knock on wood we haven’t had any problems with filing early using them.

[mominillinois]

I’ve never had a problem with filing early. However, it still scares me. I hope freetaxusa is as good as Tax Act. I’d never use Turbo Tax again after what happened to me last year though.

[Mary]

Filed 1/7/16 through tt hoping everything goes smoooooth.

[Alabamagal87]

I filed 1/8/16 using tax act first year doing it on my own and that early praying everything goes well…

[Kansasnewyorker]

I also filed early through turbo tax I haven’t had any troubles either

[mominillinois]

I sent mine through with FreeTaxUSA on 1/9/2016. Praying everything goes well and I don’t get stuck due to filing early. Have not had any issues the last 3 years being in the test batches.

[mominillinois]

@kansasnewyorker I read on the igmr fb page someone said tomorrow, Mon Jan 11, but who knows. I am kind of regretting submitting mine early. Wish I had waited til opening day.

[Kansasnewyorker]

Has there been any word about when they will start test batches
