MCRT88: What if you did the free filing through TT? Does the refund still go to TT first, or straight to our bank account from the IRS?

[Magen]

Accepted is not the same as approved.

[Rebecca]

I had filed with freetaxusa and was submitted early and locked. It never got accepted yesterday or earlier like lots of others who filed early. So I filed on tt at 8:30 am est. it was accepted immediately after and already shows on wmr. I had to email freetaxusa because I had paid for state and audit coverage but couldn’t even efile state with them because they had no update and can’t file seperate. Idk why it was an issue but indiana still shows pending and federal is good to go finally with tt

[MCRT88]

It is the bank that TT, Jackson-Hewitt, Etc. use to process the refund, remove their fees and send it to your bank. Its Santa Barbara Bank and Trust. It is where the IRS will send your refund first, then SBBT will send it to your bank.

[Rtbartonie]

Has anyone that filed with taxslayer have any issues with the bank they use? I notice on the site you can’t check on your status with your refund online.

Any problems? Do they release funds in a reasonable time frame etc… Thanks so much!

[mizzvaughn]

What is SBBT?

[MCRT88]

Well, SBBT has my info and my fees to be taken out, they don’t give me a date or anything but they do have my info! Filed 1/9, Accepted 1/12, Still one bar w/ refund amount and Tax Topic 152.

And yes, WMR is working for me.

[MCRT88]

Well, SBBT has my info and my fees to be taken out, they don’t give me a date or anything but they do have my info! Filed 1/9, Accepted 1/12, Still one bar w/ refund amount and Tax Topic 152.

[Heavenscent101]

I just went to the WMR site and got a notice that it was unavailable. Anyone else?

[mizzvaughn]

I filed as early as I could which was 01/15 (had to wait for a form to be ready to file) I used TT. I was accepted about an hour later on 01/15. I checked WMR a few hours later and everything was there (one bar, refund amount and tax topic 152.) State was accepted yesterday 01/20 I’m in georgia. So far no changes, everything has remained the same since 01/15. Didn’t really expect it to though since yesterday was the first official day.

[Destiny]

Filed 8pm 1/19, accepted morning time of 1/20. WMR shows return accepted only so far:) Would love to be in the bracket of DDD 1/26 but gathering from all the reviews online it looks like Feb. 5/6 is going to be my best bet.

[Lonnie]

From my investigation, some who was accepted/approved by 1/15 will have a DDD of 1/26-1/27.

[J-Fer]

Filed with TT on 1/15, accepted 1/20. Still one bar on WMR and no date on TT.

[Totsa]

According to my previous filings, I didn’t get an update on TT til around 3-4 PM EST (See below)
Sooo I think I am gonna stand by til then.

2015- Filed 1/11— Accepted 1/13—1/19 SBBT had my info.

So Lets play the waiting game…

Just posting on this thread also…filed 1/16 on eztaxreturn.com was accepted minutes later. As of today 1/21..i have 1 bar and 152 tax topic. NYS return was accepted this morning also.

[Jamie]

So I used my last pay check stub to file my taxes and I got all the numbers right pretty much but my total wages I got the numbers mixed up. Instead of putting **,383 I put **,838. I’ve been accepted by the irs. But I’m wondering if this is gonna slow down me getting my money back.

Has this happen to any of you before and if it has what happened?

[jay]

A person on turbo tax claims he got his DDD of 1-26 at 6:15 am hpoe its true folks god bless everyone

[Totsa]

Filed via TT on 1/11– Accepted 1/13. WMR- has one bar with topic 152. SBBT has my stuff so I dunno!

[Jessica]

I was accepted yesterday. No change on IRS side. But on Turbo tax instead of saying 21 days it says I should get it by the 10th of February.

[kelly]

Filed 1/16 through eztaxreturn.com was accepted minutes later. Wmr is showing 1 bar and tax topic 152. NYS refund was accepted this morning 1/21.

[Jason klinger]

Same here accepted waiting anybody have info on. The person that got DDD of 1-26 posted on tt

[T]

So B is that what is going on – I can deal with these folks right now. Im still gonna call – Last year I will used them I paid $19.99 to be delayed , when I could have gone elsewhere and done it for free!!!

[BC]

Argg!! Filed on the 18th, didn’t get accepted yesterday and still not accepted this morning. Just called hrb and they can’t provide any information about whether it’s actually been submitted or not – they just directed me to call the IRS hotline. IRS hotline has no information on my return. So frustrated. This is the last time I use hrb!!

[Waiting]

I checked my transcripts and my 2014 wage one is there, dated for today but blank. Filed with TT 1/16 accepted 1/20 one bar and 152 message…

[TotallyLost]

Filed on the 19… Accepted morning of 20… No info on WMR… A little freaked out…

[Anonymous]

Some good info regarding DDD’s – https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2602405-early-acceptance-on-1-12-2015-no-ddd-just-wondering-if-i-m-the-only-one-and-if-anyone-got-a-direct-deposit-date-from-early-accepted-filers

[Gail]

I filed last night with TT and was accepted two hours later and had one bar on WMR. This morning I now have tax topic 152.

[mel]

Havw you uaed a tax act pay power card before?? Doea it post as soon as you recieve your refund?

[Jay]

I filed the 14th with H&R Block, was accepted around mid-day yesterday on the 20th.

[Bella]

So far mine is the same 152 message. I was accepted early on 1/12. I have only seen one person so far on any forums say they received a DDD: https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/2604149-update-i-just-checked-wmr-and-i-have-a-ddd

[Jay]

There is a difference between Accepted and Approved, and it’d be nice is people realized that ;)

[KW]

I filed on the 18th with hr block online and still not accepted :-(

[June]

Filed jan 6 got approved jan 13 .i never was in a test batch before …I am still waiting on a ddd..

[KayRob]

Efiled and got accepted on 1/20 around 11am EST. I’m only going to check once a day around noon (as hard as that is going to be) until I reach the DDD. Then I’ll go maniacal checking here, there and everywhere lol.

[rachel]

I filed on the 6th with tag got accepted yesterday at 8 am. Tax topic 152 and 1 bar on wmr site. Tax transcript says n/a 2 ages transcript is the only thing I can look at. Hoping next week ddd starts my car died last week. Depending on other people when u live in the woods in Maine stinks. Anyways good luck everyone. BTW every year I file I have had my refund within 10 days of being accepted.

[Chrissi]

I had an offset last year, was accepted by 1/31 and had my deposit by 2/14

[Anonymous]

I don’t think it takes any longer. My husband had one last year and we were accepted on the 2nd and money was in our account by the 12th. However, they took the money twice, once from state and again from federal. They refund what they were over paid but it took over a month

[Aspis]

Has anyone, anywhere heard of a DDD yet? Can anyone order trascripts yet? I am itching to see one today, from anyone, at all!!

Also, do we know the actual time wmr gets updated? Im in Eastern time & wondering if I have any chance to see an update

[tswan20]

Well it’s certainly available. I would try another company if it’s still not available

[Carlene]

I filed this same form for myself using HR Block and had not problem. I went with TaxAct for my daughter because I was able to file her state free.

[tswan20]

Filing with another company won’t help if IRS hasn’t released that form yet. However,I checked on IRS website and that form has been available since 1/7

[Carlene]

Prepared a tax return for a family member on 1/19. I’ve still not been able to submit it because it tells me that form 5695, Residential Energy Credits is not available, and will be released at a later date. I’m giving it one more day, and then I’ll use another company. This is the message I receive:
Form 5695 – Residential Energy Credits
The final form(s) will be included in a TaxACT program release soon. If you’d like to receive notification when the form(s) is released, click here.
You will NOT be able to complete filing this return until the IRS releases the 2014 form(s).

[Aspis]

Everything the same with me too. Filed 1/14, accepted 1/16, wmr still has 1 bar, refund amount showing, and Topic 152. Filed with TT, having fees taken out, SBBT account available no money yet.

[MiLeBr]

I filed on 1/13/15 was accepted the same day. WMR showed 1 bar, accepted and processing. Account in SBBT showing as well. Two days later bars are missing, refund amount missing, just says returned being processed and and a dd will be given when available.

[Ron]

For me everything is the same… filed on the 17th… accepted early on the 20th… still one bar on WMR this morning

[Anonymous]

Yes it’s just payment options, it’s a good sign cause it means you have a option how you’d like to get your money, which means you can expect some money!! That’s all, it means nothing else besides how do you want it? Good Luck!!

[valerie]

has anyone checked their account transcripts yet? Mine is not available yet

[MiMi]

Thank you so much Melanie!

[Melanie]

Yes you can file married filing jointly even if only one spouse works. In fact, this year I did not work, all of our income came from my husband. We have 2 children, and we filed married filing joint.

[MiMi]

I have a question. My husband works and I am a stay at home mom of two. Can we file Married filed jointly? Thanks

[jaime l]

My husbands taxes are due to be offset due to child support, approximately how long does it take them to send his remaining amount?

[dawn]

Toi know that topic 152 is just information about refund options, however everyone seems to be happy if it shows topic 152 on wmr. and unhappy if its not showing topic 152 yet and i keep hearing this means something like youre done being reviewed, they didnt find any problems, youre thru the processing and about to b givin ddd. can some of u shed some light on this i feel like there are too many ppl excited to see that topic 152 for it not to mean something but theres a lot of guessing on here so id love to hear opinions on this from both sides

[Anonymous]

Not me

[Anonymous]

Anybody receive CA state refund yet? I filled on the 12 and it still says they have no record of it yet.

[Melanie]

We filed Sunday night 1/18. We were accepted this morning around 11. WMR one orange bar tax topic 152. Filed with Taxact.

[Anonymous]

If I am not mistaken we had to have insurance or pay penalties last year as well. So that should already be in their system. Last year they opened season on 1/31 with ddd of 2/6. SO by that logic we should see refunds around 26-27th??

[jaime l]

mine were accepted on the 13th of this month, i filed on the 7th. WMR has shown one bar since being accepted including today, official tax day. I just filed my husbands at 13:30 tonight and his was accepted within 2 minutes of me submitting it. Everyone is saying possibly the 26th, but how come not possibly the 23rd?? I am pretty sure they only deposit on fridays. my returns were always accepted amd then the following friday i always received my direct deposit.

[Eva R.]

I filed tonight with TaxAct at 6:15 and it was accepted at 6:16PM. I’m not bothering with checking right now, I’ll give it a week or so…

[Melanie]

We filed Sunday night via taxact and we were accepted this morning. Here’s to hoping for a positive year with no holdups and quick deposits.

[laydee]

Im so sorry fir ur lost i was able to cmaim my daughter and she lived for three wks u must have a social or if not write died on the line and attach proof of birth

[MCRT88]

Thank You, Jay. You took the words right out of my mouth!

[tjack]

I filed my best friends taxes this morning at 9am through Taxact, and she got an email of acceptance at 11:30 am this morning

[Jay]

Hey Norcal, how does it feel to be wrong? There are test batches every year. Congress is always changing tax laws/updating tax laws/extending credits, which requires reprogramming of IRS computer systems yearly…which in turn requires testing. IRS in turn pulls reviews early every year to make sure everything is running as it should for opening day.

Next!

[MaryG]

The thing people need to take in to affect that this year they have to check on the Obama care before your taxes can be finalized.

[Kristi h]

I get that.

Maybe it was a few years ago, we were held up and that made tax code 152 such a good thing…a sign of progress?

It’s probably normal now but I do remember a filing year where everyone was delighted when that showed up.

That may have been the year our returns went to manual processong and got delayed til Feb. 28 then it got pulled up sooner a week later.

[Kristi h]

It would be nice, but we all gotta not count our chickens before they hatch.

[Ron]

For all those wondering, code 152 does not mean anything good or bad. It is just a general information code about the refund. If you have a code 152.. that means there are currently no issues with your return. There are other codes that do mean something is wrong, if you get another code, then it will be time to worry.

It usually takes about 5-7 days to APPROVE a refund but, could take more because some returns require additional review. Then several more days for that refund to be sent out depending on where you fall in the ACH queuing system and what days are designated as refund transmit days. In any case, if there are no issues with your return, you can expect a refund in 7-21 days.

[Gail]

Oh no I am so sorry to hear of your little one. I have a son that passed away, he was almost 2. What happened?

[Anonymous]

Get TranscriptWe cannot process your transcript request. Please contact the Identity Protection Specialized Unit (IPSU) at 800-908-4490

Had anyone got this when trying to order transcripts?

[norcal]

why are some people so clueless? its same process every year . you submit …it gets accepted/received or rejected. begins processing. gets approved. dd is issued. end of story.

[norcal]

listen …… theres no test batch this year., the irs began processing all returns today. i filed 3 hrs ago. 20 minutes later i got email from tt saying my federal was accepted and will begin processing. checked the irs website…. confirmed. that makes you and i at the same point in processing.

that test batch from two years ago was when they installed a whole new system… it had to be tested then. last year went smoothly, remember?

[Rtbartonie]

I am so sorry for your your lost. I can only imagine how hard that must. Again so sorry for your loss.

[Gail]

Filed tonight at 8 pm and got a text saying it was accepted at 10 pm, and I have one bar on WMR.

[Keri]

Ive read other places that if Im the one that made all the money, all the credits and refund goes to me considering I made all the money, and he made none. Not sure how true that is though. Looking foward to the full amount, which Im hoping I still get considering he made no money :/

[Anonymous]

Posting here also… I’m desperate in case you can’t tell yet

I can not post a new thread for some reason and have a question. My return was rejected 6 times today (yes, 6) It is due to no error of mine however, I filed through TaxAct. I have never used anyone else and never had a problem until this year, I have 2 W2’s from separate employer. When I submit my e-file I would get a notification (usually within mins after the intial one) that said my return was rejected due to EIN and employer name not matching, okay fine. Go in to fix it and find out it is from a 3rd W2. No employer name or address or EIN or amount, nothing on it because, well, it does not exist and I do not have it. Just says W2-My Name-0.00 So, I delete it. Resubmit taxes and BAM! there it is again. WTH?! I contact TaxAct, they lead me through steps, try some different thing, rejected, rejected, rejected. Last thing they tell me to do is to download a new browser and try that so I did and now it is pending…If it is rejected again for this reason what do I do? Call the IRS? Could this be their system? Or could it only be TaxAct and do I just need to file through someone else? It’s driving me insane! Help!
