@whatthebleep That is a good thing your WMR changed, hopefully get DDD by Thursday. I still have not seen any change on my WMR. My funds were unfrozen on 4/10 but still no update. My return was forward to IS department on 2/25. Hopefully we will see a DDD this week.
@j33 whats going on with your release? Did you try calling today?
@j33 my WMR changed to the received processing message this morning, but no dd yet filed 2/23 accepted 2/23 started processing 2/28 went through normal processing and was assigned to someone injured spouse dept on march 18, which is the processing date it shows on my transcript by the way, from there it usually takes 4-6 weeks to see a dd- if your return had no other issues- I did my taxes myself on turbotax as I do every year.
@whatthebleep Have you received any updates on your DDD? I know they told you that you would have a DDD this week.
@Purple33 Just glad we have a website where we can all help each other out, just saw you got an advocate I’m glad things are looking up for you too hopefully you see some fast results
By the way thank you @whatthebleep for all your support.
Cool! Congrats, @buttons16!
Woot woot! Congratulations @buttons16!
super quiet lady said DD date of the 18th! so Thursday!
got someone and they are super quiet!!! its so hard to hear!!!
@bahahaha!
the guy who answered said they have multiple injured spouse departments lol and which one…what a special person lol
I just got done talking with an IRS advocate, since we are in financial difficulties right now. She was really nice and she is getting my account expedited. I am so thankful. Thank you everyone for all the great information. Hopefully this will help. If anyone else has real bad problems call the advocate line they are really helpful. Their number is 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TTD: 1-800-829-4059. Call they have been so helpful so far.
The department you get transferred to is actually called advanced individual accounts if you want to ask the operator to connect you to that instead of saying injured spouse. They are the dept that deals with injured spouse claims as well as a few others.
I know honey we are right there with you, no worries :-)
I should have thought of that myself lol I used to work in a call center and that’s always what I told people to do when they wanted to speak to someone lol…yeah long day so far
@buttons16 call the 8008291040 number again after you press one for English and it starts giving you the next set of options pres 00000 wait for it to say please wait while we transfer you, when the operator picks up ask for the injured spouse department.
so I called both numbers ( 800-304-3107 and 800-829-1040) and got nothing useful from either of them. the lady on the 3107 number said that she couldn’t tell me anything about my offset or my IS form and the 1040 number just gave me automated responses…I just would like to know when my release date it, if its available! gah
@maximo2 hang in there. I am waiting with you. I am already at 8 weeks and I am still waiting. @brokeandfrustrated hang in there too. We are strapped for cash too. From now on I am not filing an injured spouse form until they send a letter. Also I now would rather owe the IRS rather than have the IRS owe us. It’s so stupid. All the people I have spoke with from the IRS have no answers except that I have to wait till May the 4th to the 8th to finish processing the paperwork. WHY? It isn’t rocket science… SIGH.
Found out today why my form didnt go thru, it wasnt processed correctly the agent that sent it off forgot to include my 10 number id. So when they had the DD ready they had no clue who to send it to, he is resubmitting it in the morning he says…..hopefully two week wait and not another 8.
Is anyone else having problems seeing all the other postings?
Hi im wondering if after you were offset and you send in the is form if wmr will change. Im usually very good about keeping notes. Im not even sure when i sent the form out. It still shows the offset information. Being that its worst time to call right now ill wait bit more. Havent gotten a thing in the mail. Thanks
Hello all, I have been working in a Pvt Ltd company since last 2 years and I am bound to wear my work place uniform. I have to take care and maintain my uniform bu my own. I have recently heard about Uniform Tax rebate and I came to know that I can have the tax benefit of maintaining work place uniform.
Can anyone please tell me what is the procedure to file for Uniform tax rebate?I wonder if u have to tell them and confirm for them to dd vs issueing a paper check, i reading mixed responses
I am still waiting for them to fix the codes on my approved form….this is getting crazy, estimated 16 weeks total at this point after filing the form.
Well I have been monitoring this forum for about the last month. I filed my taxes back on 2/1 and was accepted 2/2 the Irs however has me being accepted 2/5. I can’t seem to get anything but the same old 11week spill. This is my third time filing as an injured spouse I never really counted the days. This year has been super tough financially on my family so I am on edge as to when we will receive our $$. I see some that have filed after me yet they say they have received there DD.
@brokeandfrustrated that’s how she said it “could” go, but that doesn’t mean everyone will have to wait that long I hope. She said that they have had cases where it has taken 3-10 days after deposit date for people to actually have money in hand, so she wanted me to be prepared in case it happens to me. I don’t know the reason behind it, and she could only tell me it was to do with their deposit system. I bank with USAA so I’m not too worried about any issues on my end. I am also extremely flustered by all of the IRS’s huge failures at communication, and disorganization, and I’m a pretty easy going gal :-) the way I have looked at it is this : it is what it is. No matter what I do, they are going to do what they do, and my money is going to be released when they release it. A TA is out of the question for me because I’m not financially struggling,so all I can do is hope that someone there is doing their job. For all of you out there that do rely on this refund to balance your budget, you are not alone we have all been there and that’s why we come back to this site over and over because two minds are better than one, and the more knowledge we share the more informed we are on what lies ahead.
@whatthebleep…you mean that even after we are given a DD that we may still have to wait 3-10 days past that date to get our money? I thought that the money is supposed to go into our account on the exact DD that they give us….It is so wrong how IRS jerks us all around. I know one thing, after going though the long wait this year I will think twice before filing an injured spouse form again.
I am still waiting for my refund has anyone got theirs this week?
Hey @maximo2 sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I also filed wit TT, and I just talked with the irs actually and they said I should get my dd this week, but they said that it could take anywhere from 3-10 days after my deposit date to actually receive the funds in my bank. I’m hoping that applies to you too, and that you will receive funds this week. The rep I had was extremely helpful and nice I’m assuming because calls have slowed down, so if I were you I would call again oh and I also only waited on hold for 7 minutes.
whatthebleep. I filed with TT but mailed in IS form and they received it 2/7. They have been telling me for the last month that refund is there just waiting for DD but ITS BEEN SITTING THERE FOR A MONTH. I’m starting to think it somehow got forgotten by their system, but I’m scared to ask for a release of funds cause they say that can take up to 30 days which may delay longer. But I’ll probably hear the same thing when my 1-2 weeks is up. Do you call IRS, what have they told you?
Haha that’s what opened to me too! :-)
@brokeandfrustrated I was at first so I went to the home page, clicked on forums, and then chose the injured spose forum, and then I clicked on page 2…hopefully that helps, I also chose the notify me of follow up replies via email option below so I don’t miss any updates in case the page goes down :-) but if you want to email admin they are pretty awesome about fixing any errors :-)
Never mind, after I posted my question, then I could see the rest of the posts. Anyway, no change for me on WMR, was really hoping and praying to see a DD this morning. I have read on other sites that a few people that filed around when I did are getting a DD for this week. Please Lord, we need our money badly. Praying that everyone gets good news soon. :)
Anyone having trouble seeing all the posts on this forum?
@buttons16 that’s good news usually the WMR changes to that message right before a deposit..also I saw someone on the turbotax community that filed 2/22 also, and they got a dd of 4/17 so hopefully you get one too!
@maximo2 I’m sorry to hear that. I really hope you see something before the end of this week. Who did you file with?
Update, still nothing. Accepted 1/31. Told a few weeks ago check would be issued 4/9, then told DD by 4/15. Still nothing. Just called “well its sitting there ready for DD but hasn’t been through that part of the system yet, should definitly have it in 1-2 weeks” what BS. Any injured spouse people got theirs yet?
I’ve been looking and reading posts on this site for a few days now and I am happy to see that I’m not alone. Yes, it does suck that we have to wait but at least its not just me! Here’s my story: I filed and was accepted 2/22 (Friday) with the injured spouse form through TurboTax. I have been looking every day at WMR and it changed about 2 weeks after I filed to “its being processed and you’ll get a refund date when available” blah blah blah. I went online today and checked WMR and the status has changed to “we have received your refund and it is being processed”. What I’m hoping is that, based on others experiences via reading this forum, that my family will get our refund within this week. I’ll keep you posted! Fingers crossed!
I still haven’t got my refund. They are telling me May the 4th. I got my transcripts and it says that they finally processed our refund on March the 11th, but they got the return on February 16th. I am so upset right now. I am so upset to about how the IRS personnel or so rude and inconsiderate. Wow… Good luck to all of you.
I’m waiting with you all…I filed and was accepted 3/14/13, efiled through H&R. Got orange bar thingy that they received but the last week and half it changed to no bar, just a message: Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” Did call in to many phone # and finally spoke to an actual live person…told me that they received my return & it’s been assigned to someone for processing. Status: well, told could take to the end of May to complete a return w/IS attached. Our tax dollars at work…they can take our money faster but that can’t process it due to bureaucratic BS (debt ceiling, fiscal crisis, etc) We’re basically paying for them to all sit in DC with their finger in their butts. We’re in the wrong line of employment…
-Verified 3/1 4883c told to wait 4-6 weeks (6 weeks ends on 4/12)
-Called almost every single day…always told I was still processing
-No bars,status stayed at Your tax return is still being processed.A refund date will be provided when available
-4/11 status changed to we have received your return and it is being processed
-4/12 bars came back,DDD of 4/16still nothing for me
@irstressing- I called the main #1-800-829-1040 and asked for insured spouse department. I was asked if I already filed and I said yest that I had questions on the status of return.
Well, a lot more happened yesterday after I spoke with the offset office. We found out that our house is now being condemned, so thankfully the FB group was able to tell me about tax advocates. I called them, and was informed not only did we have an offset with the Department of Education, but now the IRS is saying that we owe $2800 is back taxes from 2008, which is ridiculous. I called the IRS and was able to straighten it out, but so thankful to the advocates, because otherwise I would never have known. Plus, they are working on an expedition of our refund for hardship, since we will have no place to live in 2 weeks. I definitely recommend them if you have an imminent problem and you need your refund to get to you faster. My plan had been to wait it out, unfortunately that is no longer an option…
called 800-304-3107 (thanks aoldenburg83) pressed 1 for english, pressed 2 then option 5 in order to speak to someone live-took me all of 30 seconds so no wait this morning! this is the offset dept…unfortunately thay had not received anything from me yet :( so i guess i’m still stuck in the ‘processing’ limbo…good to have this info-a huge thanks to everyone who shared
@aoldenburg , what number did you call to actually speak to someone at the offset office?
Nevermind, I see the above post now. Thanks.
Yes the Taxpayer Advocate Service is an organization which is build to help people in resolving their tax related problems. They can handle any type of issue related to tax. Moreover it provides free and confidential service to taxpayers who need any type of help resolving IRS problems that they have not been able to resolve by their own.
@charbelle, the number I called is 800-304-3107, I remember calling a couple of times to get the right combination to speak to a person, but I did get through.
@j33 Can you tell me what number you called? You must be happy to know it’s on its way! I sure would be. :)
UPDATE :I called IRS again today to try to get more information, I was told that I needed to wait till beginning of May for my 1th week . I was accepted 1/24 , I had education credits so waited till 2/14. I was told that my return went to IS department on 2/25 and I had to wait 11 weeks from 2/25. He said if I did not have my refund by then to call back and ask for a TA . He did say my return is still being proceeded, since I do not need the injured spouse I asked him if there was anything I can do. He then just told me to hold and reviewed my account and he took the time to take off the freeze off my account, he told me to hold on the line till he finished unfreezing my funds. He then told me I was all set. I have called 4 other times since I filed to let the IRS know I did not need the form and they all told me I had to wait it out and there was nothing I could do. I did ask to speak to the inured spouse line and when representative came on line the first thing he asked if I filed injured spouse claim. So I’m guessing only the injured spouse department can remove form since this is the only time I asked to speak to someone in insured spouse department. Does anyone knowhow long it would take after they unfreeze funds to get DDD? I forgot to ask I was just so happy that he removed form.
what number do i call to get the offset dept? i called the number listed under the contacts tab-it was automated & i was told yes we see two offsets (my student loans)….well yeah i know i have them that’s why i filed IS…..in any case is there a number for the offset or IS dept where i can speak to a live rep?? i would like to know if they have already disbursed funds thata-way…. :)
But I still have high hopes for you @8fullinches!
Sorry @8fullinches that last comment was meant for @maximo2 :-)
@whatthebleep ,thx for the good news(opinion) ,hope so.
@8fullinches I bet you have a deposit before the 15th…we will see :-)!
@whatthebleep, yes it sounds like good news but i wanted to ask her if thats the day the check will be mailed out and or deposited or is that 2week window just an estimate when the form will be finished for review.. still wondering,i guess ill have to call back in two weeks
So I have been a stalker for about a month {creepy} lol. Here is my situation…
Filed 01/26 w/ Turbo Tax. F/A 01/31. wmf switched from ddd to offset on 2/16. Didn’t know about IS until end of February. Sent 8379 to IRS on 3/01. Have been waiting since. Got a TA and talked to her on 04/01 (no April fools ). She told me the IRS has my IS but wouldn’t or couldn’t tell me when it was received. Faxed her my papers 2 times that week. Got a VM from a lady telling me she was taking over my case from the other TA and she can’t find my papers to fax them to he. Offset is from husband’s Dept ED from loans before we were married, Community Prop state AZ.OH, I ordered my transcripts yesterday when I found this group and saw that most of you had done that. Is there anything else I should do/have done?Just talked to IRS again, was now given DDD of 4/15(no update ever on WMR), of course last week when I called IRS said paper check would be mailed out 4/09 so I have some hope its coming, but not holding my breath. Will update if I ever see any money!!!!
@aoldenburg glad you found the numbers you needed, and awesome ur getting back more than you thought, I think next week we will see a lot of inj spouse deposits..I hope!
@pamela79, I only mentioned the state because the IRS uses state community property laws to decide how to divide the federal refunds, and since WA and LA are both community property states, but both with different laws, it is making it take even longer.
One burst of good news, I called the IRS today, and of course, was told that they will have no information until the 11th week. I then called the offset office, and it looks like the offset has already been received and dispersed to the Department of Education, so I know at least know what the amount of my refund will be, which is actually much more than I anticipated. Still no word on the timeline, but the 11th week starts on April 29th, so I am hoping to hear something soon.
@8fullinches that’s great news! Sorry you got a rude rep..the ones I had before my nice rep weren’t necessarily rude, but one did talk to me like I was beneath her, as if I ad no right to call and see what was happening with my money because I filed injured spouse :( oh well karma takes care of all that for us :)
called today and very nice rep told me i had two full weeks before it finishes processing,she said that will be 8 full weeks from when IS was received,but she couldnt tell me a dd date just that it was received and will take 2 more weeks to process, i called earlier in the day and some old bag was rude and hung up on me and i was talking polite to her
Thanks @cmanhefresh, my husband and I decided to do all we could to avoid going through this again next year too, I remember a time when getting your tax return was so exciting,and definitely not this stressful.
It only matters where you live not where you work my husband has the same debt and they don’t take state taxes only federal the wont even see your state taxes so it won’t hold it up
All of the info that you guys have provided has been incredibly helpful. This is my second year filing IS, but since my husband is the IS, and for tax year 2011 he had no income, we received our 2011 refund quickly, because there wasn’t much refunded.
2012 is a whole different story. I filed our taxes on 2/11, it was accepted on 2/11. IS form was filed electronically with our taxes. The non-tax debt is defaulted student loans in my name. For 2012, my husband was the higher earner, which is good, but we also spent 6 months in Louisiana and 6 months in Washington, both of which have different community property laws, so I imagine this process is going to take a while. I have not heard anything from the IRS as of yet, but I also haven’t made any calls to them either. I will probably try calling them tomorrow, does anyone have a recommendation on which number to try?
Thanks for listening to my story, I am definitely not impatient, since I have so much experience dealing with IRS issues, but I admit the wait is frustrating.
Here is what I’ve learned we changed our deduction to 15 so we give them exactly what we should I would rather have my money all year than battling this again!
congrats whatthebleep, gots mine and i plan on never going broke again. ty for all the info.
That’s great news @charbelle tank you for sharing, I’m hoping we all see something soon!!
i forgot to add that she also said, yes i see some offset, but you will be getting a refund for your husbands portion of the return…(i have student loans)…that right there was the best part of the call
hi everyone! i have been ‘stalking’ this forum for weeks and finally thought i should post my experience. i filed our taxes electronically-first year of filing injured spouse. Filed on 2/11 accepted on 2/13. i called in at about 5 weeks 800-829-0582 x362 and they basically told me to keep checking the website-which still says “still being processed- a refund date will be provided when available”. so i waited. today i called and upon hearing a human-i asked what ‘accepted’ meant-and was told that they run it thru a few quick checks, names, ss#’s additional filings-and if all is well it moves on-i then stated my file date & said i hadn’t heard a word via mail, email or otherwise and that i was terrified that i had done something wrong-being a novice at this-she laughed and said she would look up our filing-she came back with-oh i see you filed an injured spouse form and that takes 11 weeks-giving me the date of april 29th. she said that from what she could tell we hadn’t made any mistakes and that she had no idea what the offset dept was doing so that it was taking so long-but we should see a dd within a couple of weeks…that may sound like a long time but up until i heard that i was dealing with the time frame of never-forever….anyway she also stated that if i hadnt heard anything to be sure to call back so that they could escalate my filing and get a supervisor to figure why we had a delay-she asked how many times i had called before early in our convo-so this was also promising…i know i’m not giving a whole lot of help-but maybe just a little hope :)
The status doesn’t. Change much just the “a refund date will be provided when available ” disappeared about 3 days before deposit I got mine last Thursday and wmr still says processing, I’m guessing it because you original tax return is changed as the amounts are so it doesn’t update? Also some people get TA’s and that speeds it up a lot also your file date doesn’t have anything to do with how long you’ve been waiting even if you filed 1/1/13 the IRS didn’t open until 1/30 (they did run test batches) but when you have education credits it wasn’t accepted until 2/14 that means you are in the 7th week of waiting maybe the 8th tomorrow I am a 0605’er I got mine last week so maybe 2 more weeks but I also got a TA and 3 days later mine was processed
Also I did also read that there is a couple of peolpe that had no update on the WMR and refund was deposited in there acount.
My return accepted on 1/24, due to education credits waited till 2/14. I called IRS yesterday and they told me if I do not have any changes on WMR by Friday to call them since my 11 week was Friday. I was previously told by IRS rep. I had to wait till end of April for my 11th week . My cycle date is 805, I did see on Facebook Injured spouse page that there is still people waiting for refunds with 605 and 705 cycle dates but there is some 805 cycle dates that have received there DDD. Also seems as not many people are getting DDD this week.
I’m so lost.
This is our first year filing injured spouse. The VA over paid my husband when he was using the GI Bill last year and he was told they would deduct what he owes from our taxes… which would have been the whole refund.
We filed electronically on 2/21and it was accepted pretty much right away, though I can’t remember the exact date. Our WMR states that it is still processing and a refund date will be provided when available… so just like everyone else… we wait.
I did order the transcript from the IRS and it states 4/15/13 as the Received Date. What does that mean? Also our cycle is 20130905… does that mean anything useful?
We’ll be going on 7 weeks this Thursday since filing… should we be seeing something soon?
