Have you contacted a taxpayer advocate to see if you qualify for their services?

[zach]

Called this morning. Two hours total.
They said they have “no idea” why I’ve seen no movement since February. No explanation, no reasoning, nothing.
Put in a “30 day referral”. Not sure what exactly that is or does.
Im so pissed, I wish they all would burn in hell. Burn baby burn……..

[Gaurav]

I filed mine on 3/39 and it hasn’t approved yet. Does anybody know the number i call and do follow up. Website doesn’t tell much.

[Shawn]

My taxes were filed on 2/23/15 and as of today, May 13 I have not yet received my refund. I agree that when money is owed to NJ (which I have owed them for most of my years of working and filing taxes) they will add penalties and interest when the money is delayed. However in reading a previous post, the response from NJ tax rep., there is no time limit on processing refunds. So my wait is without penalty or interest paid, but my delay in payment is…REALLY?!!!! NJ…!!!

[kailty]

My mom did her taxes on 2/14/2015, and till this day has not received anything.
All she gets is Your return is being processed, you should receive it 8 to 12 weeks from now.
We have called and spoke with a representative, and all they say its due to all the fraud they had last year.

[Brian]

So my 10 weeks is up, no check from the IRS. Called today and was told that last week a note was made that the adjustment has been made and the adjustment calls for the release of my funds. Here’s the kicker – it may take up to 3 weeks now for me to receive my refund. Well, at least they’re not telling me I’m still under review. The IRS is such a joke.

[Anonymous]

05/12/2015 I FINALLY got my DD Today! 89 days after the 4464C Letter. & best believe #TurboTax snatched their fee before I even got the alert of the deposit. There is HOPE Everyone & I bet you will ALL receive yours soon! Best Wishes.

[marie]

I filed on 2-12, they needed add… info which they received on 2-24. Was the same 8-12 week b.s. as everyone else ’til last friday, 5-8, upon which it now says approved. So I think that the money will be on my card, but no. I called them and they told me that even after it has been “approved”, that it could still take 8-12 weeks to receive my money. So my money is just sitting there with me and mine needing it very badly, when all they have to do is enter the amount and hit enter, and it will be sent to my card or check-whatever. typical b.s. I need my money.

[karen]

The Horror!!!
I filed in January, was accepted JAN 24TH, bars went away JAN 30TH. I called February 25th and I was told I was going to get a letter. I called again March 17TH, the rep told me a letter was sent March 9th and I should wait 60 days. Today MAY 12TH my status still says processing a refund date will be provided. I have been trying to get a Live person for 2 hours, their menu has changed. My 1040 was the same as the last 5 years, income, child tax credit. nothing else. Tax advocate wont help either.

[Anonymous]

Update 05/11/2015 Well today I log onto WMR & My bars are Back (after being missing for 3+ months) & It says Refund Approved DD 05/13/2015 -This Wednesday- I am praying this happens & will Definitely post as soon as I see the DD.

[nikki]

My ddd is May 13 I did a IS form…. when do the funds post to post to your account

[bjgc]

@zahc

No split refund… It says refund sent.. Refund canceled and then notice issued

[zach]

@bgjc

Did you have a split refund, into two accounts that prompted the cp53a?

What codes were on your transcripts?

[AISHE]

The notice on the web app says still processing…refund 0.00 but on the computer website it still has my expected return amount…I filed Feb 22…got a letter it was under review…any thoughts?

[bjgc]

@zahc
Viewed transcripts whole time…. No 570 code or anything… I cannot view on my phone but can on someone else makes no sense!!!

[zach]

@drew

That’s what I thought too………just wondering if that may be the reason I’ve had no movement, and it’s been more than ten weeks.
Grasping at straws, maybe.

[Nicole]

well guys the LONGGGGG WAIT HAS FINALLY COME TO AN END!!! Received my Check in the mail today.. Cp53a dated for 2/23 mailed date was 5/7 got check by mail 5/12 ohhh happy days.. Good luck to u all its been a long wait but its finally over…

[drew]

@ zach

I’m pretty sure everytime you need to id verify you can’t view your transcripts and or you have a 570 code on your transcripts.

[lostinlimbo]

Hello no updates on my transcripts or wmr. I am glad to read some of you got your well earned money. I am still waiting, no letters no notice… this is getting to me but tomorrow is another day.

[zach]

@bjgc

Were you able to access transcripts while you were waiting?
If so, did you see anything on there to indicate the ID issue?

[bjgc]

@zahc

I received cp53a notice on 2/28 dated 3/2 called and said 8-10 weeks called on 5/6 and was told to call another number to verify identity… Answer multiple questions andgave adj gross income….

[Anonymous]

Update Monday 05/11/2015 Well today I log onto WMR & My bars are Back (after being missing for 3+ months) & It says Refund Approved DD 05/13/2015 -This Wednesday- I am praying this happens & will Definitely post as soon as I see the DD.

[zahc]

@bjgc

Was this after receiving a cp53a letter?
Were you able to access transcripts during the whole time you were waiting?
Letter in the mail about id verify?

Im wondering if that may be the issue with mine also.

[josh]

I filed on march 9 and have not got mine im pissed i need my money if u owed them they would make sure they get theirs

[Damien]

I sent mine but USPS on 3/30/15 and it showed received in Where’s my Amended Return on 4/6/15. I amended 3 years….11, 12, and 13. You gotta make sure you enter the exact information you used on your most previous return. If that definitely ain’t working, call the IRS directly. It’s a process which they say can take up to 16 weeks, but from what I’ve read from others, it happens much quicker for most people. WMAR does not show all amended returns though, so depending on what you amended, it may not show. I changed filing status and added a dependant and it shows all 3 of my amended returns. Hope this helps!!!

[Ashley Loveland]

Hello, my transcript says 846 and then it says may 18, 2015, does that mean that is when I will get my dd? The lady on the phone said I should get it by the 15th, I received a letter the last week of April saying my form had been completed the notice date on letter said may 11th, I have been waiming since 2/23/15, help! !

[Daniela2727]

For the identity verification they asked how long I been living at my residence how much is the mortgage if I have one do I have a loans what was my previous jobs they will give u a option to choose any of the answers they give you or you can say none of the above n they only asked one question about my return n yes I did have to have it in front of me to answer the question but that was almost 10 weeks ago they told me I only had to wait 6 weeks now I have to wait until the end of June to the first week of July because they are still backed up smh

[LAROSE]

Hello:

I just received that letter today and I don’t have a copy of my taxes…rrrrr…Can you tell me what kind of questions to they ask about the transcript…I need that money and it will take longer until I can get another copy…thanks…

[bjgc]

I call on 5/6/15 and was advised that i had to prove my identity had to answer like 10 questions then give my adjusted gross income!! Said 2-4 weeks or sooner… its just ridiculous

[Nikkki]

cp53a dated for 2/23
Called on April 27
Was told It was Approved and paper check mail date For 5/7/2015 so just waiting on the mail.. Probly takes 3 days after mail date to receive good luck to the rest of the 2/23 my WMR ALSO CHANGED to APPROVE and Processing..

[arnelll]

Is it true? So people have wait to get their refund until taxpayer paid the IRS. I just wondering if it is a money is being cycle? If so that’s so wrong .

[Brian]

If your letter is dated 3/2 like mine, then the 10th week is May 12th; this Tuesday. I have had zero luck getting any updates from IRS agents, only the usual “call back after 10 weeks, please give it the full 10 weeks.” I’m considering getting a tax advocate at this point.
Bank rejected DD on 2/10 (the only mistake I could have made) was because on my tax return my address is XXXX W 23Xst ST (for street, I know, double words) and the bank has my address as XXXX West 23Xst. Unbelievable it would take 10 weeks to research that.

No movement on IRS transcript at all, still has the 841 846 971 code. I was hoping to receive the check this week as I see others have had theirs mailed out already, but of course that’s asking for too much. Anyone else have any other information or advice?

[zach]

@diane

Please let me know if you have any luck calling them.
I work 8-6 all week, so it’s hard to do! Ive tried before work, after work, even DURING work……….all to no avail

[Diane]

@Zach

NOTHING FOR ME EITHER. SICK OF THIS

[EBev]

My 21 day wait time was up Wednesday 5/6/15. I called today and was told I was “randomly selected” for a review that could take up to 90 days!! Why?!?! This is very aggravating. The lady at the revenue department stated they sent a letter letting me know I’m under review, and I should receive the letter today. There was no letter from them today. Will it take the full 90 days to review?

[Ashley]

*update*

Hey guys I got my 2014 refund today at 12:28pm. Not five mins later my TA called to tell me my DD was set for 5/13 but of course with my net spend card I was able to get my money today 5 days early. My 2012 refund was mailed out today as well. I’m so happy right now!

For everybody who is still waiting hang in there and if need be get a TA to speed things up for you!

[Rtfinney]

I’m not quite sure how to get any information any more regarding my return.
I early filed my taxes and waited the 21 days without a date showing up for me. When I called to find out what was going on I was told I needed to verify my identity and I should have gotten a letter (I never did)
After verifying myself I was told it would take 4-6 weeks for it to be processed. That was 9 weeks ago. I have called here and there and always told the same thing 4-6 weeks and that is the only information they have for me.
I called 2 weeks ago and the guy told me it was being hand processed and ALL the people who told me 4-6 weeks were incorrect. Its actually 9 weeks. WHAT?!
Well its been 9 weeks going on 10 and I still don’t even have a date. I’m dreading calling the IRS again because I know the call is going to end in frustration and I still will not have any information. Isn’t it my right to be informed?

Has anyone else gone through this? Is there something I am supposed to be doing but completely missing?

[zach]

@diane

Any updates? Nothing for me naturally. Im so fuckin sick of this.

[Rayne]

Nicole… Not sure if you have dd or getting a check… but if your approved and all looks ok on your transcripts you should get your $$ between May 7th and May 12th… my best guess….
Ashley.. if nothing you should have yours pretty soon too… I always checked my transcripts every night just so I knew that my stuff was accurate n I wasn’t getting one pulled over on me..
things are funny now and days.. when you’ve been waiting “forever” lol butterflies non stop when you feel like today is the day.. then it turns into tomorrow.. so on so forth… blah but cheer up guys.. I’d say by mid May towards the end of the month… everyone should have their $$.. “I hope”

[Jasmine]

Has anyone got there refund that got the 90 day letter. They had no reason to give me this letter. Now i am still waiting with no reply. Has anyone got theres. Do you know a number i can call???

[Rich T]

Filed and accepted Feb 15 2015. Received LTR 4464C dated March 11 2015. Still no refund. WMR still shows processing (as of May 7 2015).

HAS ANYONE ELSE WHO GOT LTR 4464C in 2015 RECEIVED THEIR REFUND YET?

[tia]

Mailed amendment on March 26th have not received any information went in the Where’s my amended return website and it says that my information doesn’t match their records is their others having the same problem

[Nicole]

[charlie]

I filed on 2/9 then on 2/28 I received the 1057 id verify form. verified on 3/2 and it said 6 weeks. I am well past 6 weeks now I have been waiting over 2 months. I am not sure what else to do. My wheres my refund still says ” still processing”.. Can anyone give me advise of what I can do here.

[Ashley]

*update*

Called Tuesday was told my 2012 check would be sent out this Friday 5/8. Received my 2014 adjustment letter in the mail Monday about my adjustment dated May 11 (weird) but it just stated the new refund amount. Also TA rep told me on Monday that my 2014 refund was released last Friday 5/1 and just waiting to post my account updated weekly and not daily so I’m hoping my account for 2014 updates tomorrow and I get a refund date! Been waiting since 2/23 with TA involved 3/30.

[Mary]

Received the 4464c letter Feb 18th, well over 60 days I still have no answer…the automated repsonses when you call say “return still beiing processed, you will be advised when you have a date to receive your return”. Same info on IRS.gov…can’t seem to talk to a real person. I don’t think TurboTax is the problem, I think they are trying to stagger returns. How do I talk to a real person to try to get an answer??

[Danielle]

Filed my taxes – I owed NJ $591 from 2013 which I wanted to offset with my 2014 taxes – NJ owes ME 1240 this year

Filed on February 4-

Instead of processing my return and sending me the money they owed me (I would have gotten $649 back with the offset from the State of New Jersey) — They notified the IRS of the 2013 tax and took the money from my Federal Refund

So now they took the money from 2013 and have continued to delay the processing of my State Tax Return-

After spending 2.5 hours on the phone waiting for a rep from NJ I was told my refund is still being processed and because the refund wasn’t processed yet they took the offset from my federal

My (reasonable) question- When will my refund be processed- the answer- there is no time limit on processing- My response- OK so I should expect the refund back around 2020 – her answer- there is no time limit on processing. My answer- OK so I assume you will be paying me interest on the money you owe me – her answer- it doesn’t work that way there is no time limit on processing of refunds and we don’t pay interest on it

BUT they charged me interest on the 2013 money I owed (it was about $100 with penalties that I was charged from April 2014- May 2015)

And now with the preliminary audits for people claiming EIC they are taking an additional 90 days to process AFTER they receive the requested paperwork back- which I was told the notice could take up to 90 days to get to me from the time I filed- THIS AMOUNTS TO A MINIMUM OF A 6 MONTH DELAY if you filed EIC

Verification of the child I claim on my taxes every year that was born in the State of New Jersey and goes to school in the State of New Jersey? Verification of my employment which they have W-2’s for? I am not really getting what they are attempting to verify since all of this information is readily available to them –

They have no problem expediting the processing of the returns with money due and taking it- and they have NO problem processing the request for the IRS offset the Federal refund – IT SEEM the only issue they are having are processing the refunds that they have to GIVE taxpayers back

[Anonymous]

Mine were received on 3/16/15… the bar on “wheres my amended return” hasn’t moved at all.. this sucks!!! i am feeling so frustrated and of course i need the money!!

[Jackie]

I used the intuit free software on February 16th, we received confirmation the IRS received the tax return and then got a letter saying they are reviewing. Then got another letter advising me to do nothing. I have not heard another word. It has been 12 weeks! I can’t reach a live person at the IRS office either! Our taxes pay their paychecks and they do not offer a live person to speak with?

[zach]

@diane

Unfortunately, I have had no luck either. Our situations are so similiar its scary.
I tried to call both Monday and Tuesday- no luck, just never ending hold times.

Have you found a lot of other people with 2/23 dates and no movement?
I’m not sure if it’s better to know that theres lots of us out there, or worse.

Let’s be sure to keep each other updated. Im going to try to call again tonight, but I dont expect results to be any different.

[LezaisaZebra]

Well I am mad as a tornado in a trailer park! and I am not kidding. I filled my taxes on April 15th thinking I would be paying in because my son is 19. Found out I was getting a refund because he is still in school. That being said I am a teacher in a title one district and immediatly as soon as I hear that I am getting a refund hot tears rolled down my face because I was very troubled about something. In my class I keep breakfast items because all to often the kids come in on Monday crying because their tummys hurt because they are hungy. It is an every Monday ordeal. I am so worried about these kids not having school to go to on Monday during the summer, or Tuesday through Friday. I am scared they won’t be eating right. I asked if I could start a summer reading club so they could come to school and that way we can feed them. The school said if I could fund it they would provide the food and I provide the books. Well I was at my wits ends trying to figure all this out in such a short time. I find out I am getting a refund and there it is and I will get it just in time to make the deadline to file all the necessary papers for my ability to keep staff in the school over summer, and guess what ID VERIFY, did I not verify myself at the tax office. Now I could see this if I had done a filling on the computer at home but I walked into an office of a licensed tax professional and this is not fair that they can hold your funds hostage and they have absolutly no answers I would feel better if they would play a recording that says hey we F***d your tax refund up and thats our bad but honestly we screwed up so bad with this that there are papers in the floor and in the sink were working short staffed so we brought the kids up from the company daycare and they are wading through the tax mess as quickly as a 2 year old can. We appologize but please quit calling cause the 2 year olds can’t get to the phone right now. I would rather hear that than 6 weeks and were doing this to protect you…I don’t need your protection, I got me and you should take care of you, I got my end and I don’t need you worrying about my personal info, and giving me that excuse about someone could have hacked my doctor info online cause I don’t do that on line either. GOSHHHHHH told you tornado in a trailer park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lostinlimbo]

my 60 days was up 4/26, and not a word from IRS.

[lostinlimbo]

Waiting too long since 2/25/2015. I received a letter of approval March 23 2015 for my IS, had to pay the balance of last years, I guess since I am getting a refund this year the IRS does not want to disburse funds to me, lmao. I am really frustrated and starting to get a bit p.o’d but I will remain positive since tomorrow will be another day I havent used it for piling bills. I am glad to read that some of us have gotten their refunds! prayers and happiness to you all.

[Diane]

Zach

I have been keeping up on all the message boards I can find. It seems like alot of us 2/23ers are the forgotten. I tried calling yesterday after work, after 45 minutes on hold I gave up. Have you had any luck getting answers?

[Mark]

Pretty much same thing has happened to me. I mailed mine in March 11, 2015, and when I use WMR it says we are unable to provide any information on your refund. I have not received any letters or anything. However I never did look at WMR until 2 months later, so I am not sure if it was even received. I also have no 2014 transcript.

[Patton316]

It’s May 5th and I filed on February 1st. …no correspondence at all.
My best friend has been dealing with this for the third year, now. However, they ask her to identify herself and her son only (different last names) but they continue to do it each year so far. I do believe that it’s going to be at least July 1st before some of us get a refund, when the new fiscal year begins.

A few people I know got theirs in early April…

[Whereis Myrefund]

Filed via TurboTax 2/6/15 -accepted
Called to verify identity on 3/27/15 was told 4-6 week.
Called on 4/24 (4 weeks) and was told up to 9 weeks.
As of May 5th nothing!

[zach]

@diane

Not sure how much you’ve kept up with the other ones in our situation from Bart’s Thoughts. Rayne got her refund. Marie has no updates.
Wondered where you had gone!

Have you called them since it’s been ten weeks?? What did they tell you?

[Miss Jay]

I submitted my tax return the first week in March and it was accepted. At the end of March I received a ID Verify form in the mail. Completed the verification on March 31st and still I have heard nothing. I was able to check my transcripts but now I am unable to even sign in to see my transcript at all. Does anyone know how much longer it will take for me to hear anything? This is so frustrating.

[Rayne]

Hey guys.. Got an update.. Check mailed April 30th- received today March 4th. Kinda a bummer tho.. Its gone but bills and kids are taken care of.. Suppose to be a happy day and all I’ve wanted to do is cry..lol stupid I know… any who..
Zack.. that’s BullShit!! Call and go the fu****** OFF!! they have no excuse…NONE. Everyone else.. I’ll pray.. and keep up with whats going on..

[lostinlimbo]

Hello everyone, still no refund, no updates, no notices and filed 2/24/2015 and accepted 2/25/2015. I have a code 570 with $0.00 was explained to me by a neighbor, a tax accountant, it will work it self out, that a lot of filers had gotten this code- it is random selection. YAY me. & wait 8- 10 weeks from processing, so the IRS had my return for a month before processing it…????? looks like a july refund. :(
I requested a TA a week ago and nothing, so I will chalk this up to a horrible filing year and never file before march 1. I always filed the second week of march since I was 18.

[Crystal]

No new changes on my transcript still March 16 notice date of my cp53a letter. Irs has no updates still telling me to wait

[Diane]

Zach

The irs hates me as well. Nothing at all has changed since 2/23

[Nina]

I filed in Janurary, received my identify verification letter March 3rd. Called and verified immediately. Was told the same spill, in 6 weeks I would either get my refund or another letter….still haven’t gotten ANYTHING! No change in my status online either.

[zach]

Anyone had a notice date of 2/23?
If so, have you had any updates?

Im tired of waiting for my money, the IRS can rot.

[RayM]

UPDATE: Spoke to someone on phone last week and did the ID Verify thing with them. They told me they would put the return through and it can take up to 6 weeks to get my money. Checked status this morning and it still says Your refund is still being processed. And my transcripts still show as N/A for 2014.

Did this happen with anyone else? How long after talking with someone did the status change when you checked, if ever?

Thanks.

[lps]

Irs has received info ssince2/16 and are still reviewing. Dates on my transcript has change 3 times. Every time I called the are still reviewing and I should not pay attention to the dates on the transcript. When will this be over.

[marie]

@zack
Let me know what they say when u call. My 10 weeks is up next Monday.

[zach]

No changes at all.
Been 10 weeks- notice sent February 23rd.
This is total and complete bullshit.

[CNM]

After my 6weeks i have to wait an additional 3weeks now. Saying my return was just reviewed has anyone gotten their returns after 9weeks

[marie]

@zack

@diane
no more updates. Just as of going back and forth. :-(

[christine]

Did u ever get ur depostit? I have the may be offset also.

[jen]

@bill did you ever get your refund? I know I may have an offset but Mine is the same way with code 846 but no offset code or anything on my transcript. So curious if you ever got your federal tax

[Tanya V]

It took 2 weeks after my refund was approved for the irs to mail our check, and it took 4 days to actually receive it.
