Efiled 4/14. And got my refund letter today. Fastest I’ve ever had a decision and the latest I’ve ever filed my taxes took less than 8 weeks. Weird was not expecting a refund for at least another month.

[bjgc]

Has anyone received their refund yet???

[shawn j lewis]

Filed 2/2 got code 1121 2/19 and now under a second 60 review any updates?

[Gina]

How do you think Christie is gonna pay for his presidential run, Hun? He’s not gonna use his money…

[Anonymous]

Anyone have the message We cannot provide any information about your refund at this time, wait 4 weeks… 9001 reference code. My status updated to that this morning. I was able to order account transcripts, but not return. Never had this Happen. Any one have experience with this please feel free to comment. Thanks.

[renee]

I got the same message today, but was able to order account transcript by mail. Anyone have an update on this. Thanks

[Josh Tayior]

IT has been 5 weeks since I mail my tax returns to the IRS and only WMR refund states after I indicated the month, date and the year as requested. The message states to verify your filing and check with tax preparer.Finally nothing states that my has been received. A friend told the same message was showing on WMR and fortunately he got his refund deposit after 5 days after that misinformation message displaying on WMR.

@matthew Mcintyre

Unfortunately that most likely means your Direct Deposit was rejected by your financial institution and you will be receiving a CP53A notice from the IRS. CP53A means they will be researching your account to make sure it wasn’t a fraudulent attempt to deposit your return to someone else.

Usually the reason why this happens is because the name, address or SSN the bank has on file does not match the information on the return. This year the IRS is not even allowing you to deposit refunds into your spouse’s account, if that applies to you.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if this is the case then from the date written on the notice (note that it is not the day you receive the notice in the mail), it can take up to 8-10 weeks for them to research and re-release your funds. They will mail you a paper check and not direct deposit the funds. Though some have received their refund far sooner (4-6 weeks after date of notice), others have waited even longer than 10 weeks. I fell into the latter, and I will finally be receiving my refund next friday after a notice dated 3/2. Good luck.

[matthew McIntyre]

The irs said my refund was sent fays ago why isnt it in my account?

[The Mrs.]

I see everyone saying between 11-14 weeks for IS…try waiting. 1 year, 1 month, 2 weeks, 2 days and counting….

[Nahera Abrams]

I filed my return on Feb 6, 2015 and haven’t received a refund yet. You are absolutely right if we owed money they would definitely charge penalties. I tell you what the problem is the government is spending up our tax dollars on their life styles ect……Taking away from the less fortunate, but yet always crying broke which is a bunch of bull! They are constantly raising taxes and tolls. Where is all of that money going?

[Kim]

Filed my return on 1/27/2015 ….Accepted on 1/28/2015… IDverified on 3/3/2015….. Was told I had to wait 6 weeks…NOTHING…… Got a letter 4/10 stating that because of the idverify process it would take an additional 60 days from the date of the letter(4/3/2015) to either get our refund or will hear from them within that time frame. No changes on the where’s my refund and no letters.

[aly]

@Brian
That’s awesome! Glad to see someone finally get some progress. :)

[Elizabeth]

We did ours on the opening day in January. It started saying processing….8-12 weeks…. back in February. I called Monday the 18th of May, and she told me it had been processed and we should receive it any time. Now the status changed on May the 19th to approved and receive in due business time. I know 3 people who have received theirs, but just curious why we have not gotten ours considering they filed theirs after us? My husband owns a truck so out return is quite a bit. I think they may just be holding out on everybody! It is so frustrating!

[Brian]

@bjgc

They both showed up at the same time when I checked the transcript. WMR just changed to “We have received your tax return and it is being processed.” Finally things are looking good.

[bjgc]

How. Long did it take you to get the 846 code after the 290

[Brian]

Think I’m just overexcited that I finally have a date lol that cycle date is 5/29.

[AntonioAntonio Vilchis]

Does anyone know how to check the status of my injured spouse claim, it’s going on two months now

[Brian]

Actually that’s the 25th but since it’s a holiday I’m assuming it will go out the next day.

[Brian]

@aly

Well well, my transcript just updated with the 290 code and the 846 code. Finally. The 290 code reads with a cycle date of 20152002 which I believe is the 28th of this month. Now just to sit and wait one more week. What an ordeal.

[Mali]

UPDATE: I filed with turbotax on feb 6, website told me to wait 4 weeks before calling. Called on 3/27 and had to verify my identity. They told me 6 weeks, on 4/27 they told me its not 6 weeks its 9. I called today again, (7 weeks on Friday) and they said if everything goes fine the refund would go on the June 1st release which has a direct deposit date of JUNE 15TH!!!!!!! they are required to send a letter if there is a problem after the 9 weeks.

***So next refund date is JUNE 15th*******

They also said my employer had not send w2 yet, they have until june 15th, which is a lie, because all our w2s were already sent!

[Brianda Moore]

FINALLY! After 12 very long weeks my tax transcripts have update! My check was mailed last friday! Should be here today! Man. I don’t think I’m going to be having my refunds direct deposited anymore! I think I will just wait the extra few weeks for a paper check! Good luck to everyone!!

[mike g]

Im in same position i filed in february but still nothing i call and they say still processing and i dont even come up online anymore

[zach]

@drew

Read the last few pages, lots of relevant information in there.
Sounds like a 30 day referral.

My cp53a is dated 2/23, received a referral last Wednesday, no update yet. Others have said it’s pretty quick after a referral, hopefully they’re right.

[Rayne]

Zack.. both transcripts and wmr updated for me a week after they put in for my referral.. then I guess it was roughly about two weeks after that.. I got my check in the mail..

[Anonymous]

Well, it’s been 104 days and my return has been put in review three times all because of the ACA. My return hasn’t been changed one little bit, so I don’t know why they are reviewing it again. I have talked to some of the rudest people on the face of the earth at the IRS. Now they are saying it will take another 45 days for them to finish the newest review. It is in a new department and they are not sure why they have it or what the problem is. Just great!

[stacy]

I read that they have until July to get them out or they will have to pay either 3 or 4 percent interest, so they will probably try to rush them out by then. I have not received mine either. Still processing even after sending the information that they needed and I filed on the sixth of February. But get this they said if we didn’t send it by a certain date could resort into a cut in our state check. SMH but y’all can take forever sending them. Something needs to be done.

[Brianda Moore]

@drew

So pretty much, after lots of research and talking to the IRS I’m pretty sure i have this whole situation down. When you got the notice in the mail and were given a 8-10 week time frame that was specifically for the reviewing department to determine that it wasn’t a fraud atempt on your account and for them to release your funds. They have 8-10 weeks to review your account and release your funds. If it goes past the 10 weeks then the IRS can send a referral to the reviewing department on your behalf basically telling them to hurry up. So unfortunately for you they have 30 days now to decide what they are going do. If they release your money it will be 4-6 to recieve your check after that.

[drew]

So I called the IRS this morning and spoke to a rep about my cp53a notice dated 3/2/15. He told me the bank sent it back cause my name wasn’t on the account blah blah blah. He put me on hold and wrote something up to send to the department that was “researching” my account and told me they have 30 days to respond and if I haven’t heard anything to call back after 30 days have gone by. Has anyone else gone through this scenario and have any info as to what I should expect to happen?

@aly

Still no movement. Nothing changed on WMR But I haven’t checked my transcripts yet. This Thursday would be two weeks from the date the agent told me it was adjusted and that it might take 2 weeks to reflect it.

[lizzyb23]

I was wanting to know who has notice date 5/18/2015, that has start today 5/18/2015 from a cp53a letter? The cp53a was received 5/07/2015.

Thanks

[Brianda Moore]

@gtiffany92

I’m inthe exact same boat. But the 8-10 weeks doesn’t start until the date on the notice you received not the date you got it in the mail. My notice had a date of March 2nd on it. Called the IRS on the 11th, which is when the 10 weeks was up, lady told me my money was released and it would take 4-6 weeks to issue the check. She said it was done by the computer so it could be sooner. I haven’t had any updates at all on WMR or tax transcript yet.

[Anonymous]

Has anyone had this problem I filed Jan 23 was suppose to have my refund Feb. 4 got letter Feb. 23 saying I have wait 8-10 weeks my ten weeks was up May 4 I called IRS April 29 they sad my refund was put on hold they released it that day I called back May 15 was told again it had been put on hold again and it was just released May 12 and I have to wait 4-6 weeks

[zach]

@rayne

Are you saying that you got your check before transcripts and wmr updated?
Or that they updated the week after you called for your referral?

[linzmama76]

Filed electronically and accepted 2/17. Bank rejected and sent back 2/23 Due to husband nor being on my account and it was a joint refund. Got tax advocate, who said May 11 that my “case was closed out successfully, that irs was done checking it and check should be mailed no later than May 23. Today is may 17, and I feel doubtful now I will get it, since my tax transcript now says June 1!!! Can anyone relate or explain this???

[Johna]

My dd was rejected by be bank due to name on account on jan 30th. It’s now may 17th and no check and no end in site! I’ve talked to the its about once a week if not more! I already I’d verifies myself and every time I talk to an agent they give me a new timeline last one said another 30 days on the 14. Anyone have any suggestions or help?

[bjgc]

@izzyb53

Just gonna say good luck to you its been 13 weeks for me and still nothing

[Anonymous]

Hi Im currently in the same situation as @nicole…..Been working with tax advocate since March 3rd….But still dont have a DD….Had to amend my taxes and send in proof that my dependents were mines because someone wrongfully claimed them & filed my taxes without my permission….The last item on my transcript says 290 additional tax accessed 0.00 20151704 5-18-2015….What does this mean & will i be getting a DD soon?

[lostinlimbo]

called three or four times can not get to speak with anyone, no letters no notices no anything but a transcipt that has not updated in weeks. these dates are the same ones I had on Apr 15. nothing on the WMR this is getting ridiculous as I too am in need of my refund. I requested a TA but got a weird message from them in regards to my request to call another number and I will be transferred to someone that will be of assistance, this I did not do do not like scams so I said if it is really a TA they will call me back, three days later I get a call no messages nothing they hung up.

[lizzyb23]

I was wanting to know has anyone received a CP53a with the notice date 5/18/2015? And anyone would know what the refund date would be in receiving it?

Thanks

[lizzyb23]

Thanks Aly

[aly]

@lizzy

From what I understand you have to call a tax advocate and have either an eviction or a shut off notice. Could be wrong but that’s what I’ve heard. I know some people can get a ta after the ten weeks but not sure how that works.

@Brian @Zach

Did your wmr change? Mine still says a delay blah blah blah but instead of the original amount it’s now saying the adjusted amount. Got a letter months ago about adjustment and it’s now showing. Still can’t see transcripts. Phone downloads it but says it can’t open. Hoping the adjustment showing on wmr is a good sign.

[Alejandra Ramirez-Santiago]

I filed by the end of January, got accepted and as of today May 16th, the NJ website say they received my return but have not yet approved a refund for me. They owe around 4000 USD. I really need my money back, is there anyway yo bring this up to the media? or something else to pressure them? This is unacceptable!

[ladybug]

Can some one tell me how would I check my income tax status I just file my 2011 refund had to mail it in its been 9 weeks wanted to check online but seem to can’t find anything thank u

[Albert Jahns]

Mississippians,

Does anyone else still not have their 2014 return as of MAY 16 2015? I’ve actually talked to people at the revenue dept that have told me that I was correct in my assertion that the state was jerking us around just to hold onto our dollars. You can’t make them do anything, so I suggest stop pre-paying your taxes, if you’re close enough to Louisiana (or any bordering state) buy your gas and alcohol and tobacco there. High schoolers and college students, learn early. You don’t want the state of Mississippi to have anything to do with your money- need proof, just read this board.

[Rayne]

Zack… GL bud.. it took them two weeks after they put in for my referral before I received my check in the mail. My transcripts and WMR both updated on a Wed. night the following week.. so check them daily.. Your cycle date is the date they mail it.. irs rep told me that.. and double checked it online as well.. So I’ll check in here n there to see whats going on..

[lizzyb23]

What is required in signing up for hardship for the irs?

[zach]

@lizzyb

Also remember that the 10 weeks starts from the date of the letter.
Mine was dated 2/23, no movement yet. Been longer than the ten weeks.
The IRS will NOT give you an relevant information if you call before it has been ten weeks.

Hang in there, good luck!

[Christine]

I finally received my OK State tax refund after 9 weeks. Filed mid-March. Received mid-May. My accountant did mine, so I had no doubts that it was correct. OTC kept saying RECEIVED BUT NOT PROCESSED, then PROCESSED BUT NOT ACCEPTED, and lastly PROCESSESSED AND DEPOSITED. I’ll make sure I owe them from now on because it only takes ONE DAY for them to cash checks, as opposed to refunding our money.

[aly]

@lizzie

I’m not sure about codes as I can not view my transcripts but the refund is 8-10 weeks after the notice date. Some people receive their refund early and some are waiting after the ten weeks. I’ll be at 9 weeks on Monday and no indication at all that it’s coming soon. If you have a hardship you could get a ta to help get refund faster.

@Brian
No changes here. Every day running out to the mailbox after mailman and no return. wish I could get TA but no” hardship”.

[lizzyb23]

I’m writing because the irs had set my direct deposit date 4/23/2015 and the deposit was final on 4/28/2015 into my mother’s account. It was rejected on 4/28/2015, and the bank had sent it back to the irs the same day. The irs had received the check back on 4/29/2015, and on May 1,2015, I had received a reference # or code 1121. Four days later, I had gotten a cp53a letter dated 5/18/2015. I was wanting to know if you could help me with a few questions? I filed my taxes 3/10/2015 and the irs received them on 4/03/2015. What will be cycle code for this and the expected refund date?

[Brian]

Still no movement on my transcript or WMR.

[Brian]

@aly

Ah, hopefully it is. I’ll probably try calling back today to see if that’s what it is; if not, I’m going to ask to put one in. This is actually my tenth week, the last day of it as a matter of fact – all that information I got earlier in the week were the same from two different reps so hopefully it really was adjusted and I’ll see my refund soon. Both reps did say that it could take 2 weeks to reflect the adjustment so next week would be the second week.

This is ridiculous and another reason why the government should never be put in charge of handling our money (on top of the federal reserve, income tax being illegal, etc.) I’m wondering whether I should wait it out or get a TA because if I don’t receive anything by June 5 and I have to call back, all hell will break loose.

Any updates for you and @zach?

[Angie]

I’m still waiting now I have a code of 290?!?

[aly]

@Brian
I’m not sure about the 2-4 week they gave you. Hopefully it’s a referral like Zach got and hopefully you both get your checks soon. I’m getting anxious here. Wondering if my refund will be here at 10 weeks or 14 weeks.

[Toby]

On week 10 now after I did my id verify and still nothing!

[Brian]

Well, still no change on transcript or WMR…been 10 weeks already and was told the adjustment was made last week for the release of my funds, but there’s no update to my transcripts or WMR to reflect that.

Are the 2-4 weeks the rep told me the time period for the referral? I’m just wondering because all I was told was that it was adjusted for release last week and now I just have to wait 2-4 weeks for the paper check and if i don’t receive anything by June 5 to call them back (which I’m sure would be so helpful).

Here’s to hoping it gets updated tonight and I have a set date for the funds to be released!

[tavia]

Return was excepted on1/31, still to this day have not received my refund. After multiple calls just received a letter on May 9th reference the 1095-a dated May 5th given me 20 days to respond. Faxed it in and when I called they claim that it has not been entered into the system or the computer system is down. Out of all the years of filing I have never had this happen. I would have never filed if i had not received a letter strongly stating to do so. IRS has been a pain in my buttocks this year, can not log on to view my transcripts so I can not view the codes that are being entered. Do they even care that this is going on?

[aly]

@Zach
From what I’ve seen on Facebook a week or two is normal for most.

[sckofit]

Here’s my 4464c saga:

1/30 Filed electronically & return accepted same day
2/10 Receive 4464c letter – instructs me to call in 60 days if no
refund or further letters received.
3/16 Receive CP05 letter (same contents as 4464c – instructs me
to call in 45 days if no refund or further letters received.
5/01 After 45 days are up I call the IRS, representative tells me
that he will submit a referral and if I do not hear anything
back from them (receive a refund or another review letter), that
I should call them again in 30 days.

Are we seeing a pattern here? 60 days/45 days/30 days. It has been 105 days since my return was accepted. Each time I call it has always been over an hour wait. Oh, and the # they list on the letters to call- is useless as it basically circle jerks you through a number of prompts and eventually tells you that “due to the unusual # of calls they are unable to assist you and to call them back on another day”, you then get hung up on. So I call the Tax Advocate, who will not help other than to transfer you to an agent. You will be on hold for at least an hour before the agent picks up.

My return is simple, all it consists of is my W2, I only have the standard deduction. Same address for 16 years, same job for almost the same amount of time and my refund is to be direct deposited to my checking account. I am really disgusted by the mistreatment by the IRS. If I was a criminal or an illegal alien they would have no problem sending me a refund. I would love to have a Congressional hearing on this scam they are running. Thieves.

[zach]

@daniel

How soon after referral?

[zach]

@rayne

Nope, not yet. STILL no updates to anything. I finally got through with calling them, they had no reason why its taking more than ten weeks.
Put in a “30 day referral”. Im very unclear as to why they should get ANY additional time. Theyve been screwing with me for three months, that’s more than long enough.
I’ll see if the referral actually does anything- seems to be another bullshit response from the bullshit organization.

[Rayne]

Zack.. Just checking to see if you’ve had any luck…

[Brianda More]

Any updates yet? Anyone else still waiting? Monday was the 10 week deadline for my March 2nd notice. Called the IRS yesterday. Lady told me they just released my money the day before and it would take 3-4 weeks to issue me a check. Why do they give a 8-10 week deadline then dont do anything for you when the deadline passes? Really frustrating….

[brian]

Never ever ever use h&r block again they suck….

[Jonathan]

can someone help my understand, my transcript is showing 766 reversal of refund applied to no irs tax debt with a negative $(whole amount of refund), after the IS claim received. the reversal date was 4-15-2015, and then a 290 additional tax assessed $0.00, the code on the 290 is 20151805, I have no notice issued or anything after that code. does the reversal mean I am getting that amount back? the Wheres my amended refund shows it was completed 4/24/15? im confused

[Daniel Hellwarth]

@Zach
Most people that I’ve seen get their refund pretty quickly after the 30 day referral.

[aly]

@Zach
I can’t even see transcripts. My phone can’t view them and I haven’t been able to get to a computer. At first I was told refund would come in March then instead of the check got the stupid cp53a. Then seeing people have to wait longer than the 10 weeks is just frustrating. One girl I’ve talked to called on her 10th week and was told not to call until Friday. Hoping you all get good news soon. :)

[Anonymous]

my husband and I filed jointly on feb 21st 2015 threw hrblock in their local office (we did the same a last year). he filed injured spouse bc of my school loans. I am a sahm so I have no income. last year we didn’t even know about the wheresmyrefund or the app and we were shocked when we had the whole refund amount deposited around week 8. this year we are on week 12 and until today both said it was processing and the app said “refund amount $***” and the website said “expected refund $***” both the same amounts. today the app said $0 and the website had the original amount. does that mean we wont be getting our refund? I don’t understand if last year we had no problems with injured spouse going threw at all. the only thing that has changed is we have another child (born in sept) and my husband had a different job and a diffent person at the same hrblock office did the taxes.

[zach]

@aly

No. My WMR has not changed, and neither have transcripts.
Have you been keeping an eye on your transcripts? Those are more reliable than WMR by far.
The last code showing up on mine is 971 for Notice Issued, dated 2/23. Prior to that is the 841 code for the refund cancelled.
Also remember that the 10 weeks starts on the date of the notice, not the day you get it or the day your refund was cancelled.

I just today managed to actually speak to someone at the IRS and get the 30 day referral. But, I have zero confidence in anything those bastards say at this point.
Call as soon as your ten weeks are up if transcripts don’t update before then. Some have been lucky, and their scripts updated, many others seem to be still waiting like us.

[aly]

Zack did your wmr ever change from the 1121 message? Almost 9 weeks since cp53a notice and NOTHING has changed at all. Filed in January, tired of waiting. Feel like it’s never coming.
