I”ve been seeing some people say they received their GA refund this morning. Mine still saying my info doesn’t match

[jody b]

May have gotten lucky. But be aware it takes 90 days to pull an offset. I was finished paying in Sept (and still making payments). And I BARELY had my default offset pulled in time by the dept of education. They are quick to take your money, but slow to not take it. Also, when you filed here is a red flag – did you have to pay up front to file? If you are forced to pay up front to file, and not have the filing funds taken out of your refund, you def have an offset.

[crenee]

I checked my email this morning and I finally got an email from Tax Slayer saying that my OHIO return has been accepted, but the Ohio WHERE’S MY REFUND site still saying they have no information on us.

[hellothere]

I filed on 1/13 accepted 1/14 by NJ but website says no information found. I’m waiting for three week processing time to pass then I’m going to call.

[MCRT88]

Idk if I agree with this.. I think @Tom8 is right, it would be a HUGE mistake to wait that long to process DDD. It would cause a MASSIVE move of money, man power and a ton of other working pieces, all at the same time, and would be a set up for disaster. It has ONLY BEEN 3 BUSINESS DAYS since the IRS officially opened, the first day they typically don’t even process any returns, they just start accepting massive amounts and then the following day they start the processing. Today is only, technically, the 4th business day they have been open.. That said, They will not push an update on WMR with DDDs unless they have a SUBSTANTIAL amount to update, otherwise their phone lines blow up with people asking “Why did they file this day and have a DDD and I don’t?”.. I have also heard that this year had a TON more early filers compared to last year. So, with all of that information at hand, including the face that the IRS did have a substantial budget cut.. I would expect to see some updates tonight/tomorrow morning, if not the following night at the latest. Its going to take an extra day or two compared to last year, but fear not.. It will happen. It always does. Just be patient and keep checking your WMR, SBBT and Bank Acct. WE WILL GET OUR MONEY. I may not be tomorrow, but I expect to have it by the end of this week/ beginning of next week at the latest. For all we know they could push an update tonight/tomorrow and it be in our accounts Thursday/Friday…

I had an offset have been in the consolidation process for almost 3 months
Friday my offset completed and loans were paid in full by lender and default was removed. I didn’t know it was complete. I called Friday night said offset was gone. So I just called doe and they told me even though the loan was consolidated and the default was removed the irs can still take my money. I said where will it go. She said to your loan. I said you are paid in full I make 200.00 a month payments to my loan company. She couldn’t answer me for sure. But my offset is gone and she shows no money has been received from irs. I don’t understand it

[Anonymous]

state. this is a GA forum

[mswall06]

Same here…I called the number and nothing…. Smh..this is crazy

[B F]

Jenny.. Yes, it is. The 21st to the 10th is like 20 or so days. That’s basically the entire 21-day window the IRS gives you when you file. Of course it’s a long timeframe, and of course it means nothing. If you got accepted on the 21st and did not have your refund by the 10th, then that is a big problem. So of course you’re going to get it in that timeframe. It means nothing.

[Jenny6336]

@ B F no its not. no offensive but it’s not going to just appear from one to another. We are not the only ones expecting a refund. Millions of American are too. Be patient.

[B F]

Unfortunately we probably won’t be seeing the first DD dates until February.

[B F]

It means nothing. 21 – 10 is such a long period of time, of course you’re going to get it in that timeframe. I wouldn’t put any stock into it.

[B F]

Another day with no progress. Starting to look more and more like I am right.

[Tatiana]

I filed on the 8th and got accepted on the 12th.. I have the same date also.. But still no update

[Jenny6336]

I don’t have any updates but turbo tax said Jan 21st – Feb 10th

Expected refund delivery… Anybody else got the same dates ? I filed on the 18. Accepted early morning on the 20th Tax topic 152.

[Anonymous]

Filed on 01/09, it was accepted on 01/13, and nada for me either.

Last year from file to bank deposit was 12 days.

[Chris]

Until we Start seeing Account and Return Transcripts ready, We want see any DDD!

[keri]

Still down for me..

[Jay]

…or should I say LACK OF UPDATES. Nothing has changed. Still at one bar for me.

[jody b]

If it was there, and now it’s gone… Your money is gone too. Dept of education took mine last 2 years in a row…all of it. I got on the 9 month rehabilitation plan and this year no offsets. I suggest you do the same.

[tiffy]

Yes I agree last year when tt152 showed up I received my deposit in my bank account a few days later around 6am…..so I guess its ok to be hopeful when you see it!! Its coming!! :-)

[KayRob]

@Thorok2

Are you talking about your federal or state?

[tharok2]

@lennyfromga
Did you get your refund today as promised? I had the 800 number. Called on the 22nd and Rep said she just released my refund and should receive in 21days (I’ve had to do the same thing last 4 due to ID theft). WMR changed to 30day message. In years past I usually get it 4 days after they release it. I’m not sure if the weekend affects that this year though.

[Daytona beach]

I have the same problem accepted on 1/20. Wmr saying wrong info.

[moovalyn]

I’m sad I’m under review I guess I can see my refund never

[japakar]

Not that its right but to me makes sense and worked out this way last year.

When you have no topic, you have been accepted but not processed yet. When you see topic 152 you have finished processing and its telling the system you requested a electronic deposit (or one of the other payment options for topic 152) So if you see topic 152 you were accepted and processed. That doesnt mean youll get it in 2 days or 5 days or any amount of time. It just means that you are done and when they process a batch with your return it in, youll be getting a DDD.

So its kind of like an interim update. Your not at the beginning, not at the end but right in the middle.

[Gary]

I filed 1/20/15.. Just checked for my NYS refund and got this…

We processed your return and adjusted the refund amount that you claimed. You will receive correspondence explaining the adjustment.A direct deposit of your refund is scheduled to be issued on (JANUARY 27, 2015). If your refund is not credited to your account within 15 days of this date, check with your bank to find out if it has been received.

Now I’m wondering what happened :(

[courtneyll]

You do realize its 21 “business days” right? That’s what took so damn long last year, im tired of waiting.

[Meka]

OK mine was received on January 15th and I have one bar it never disappeared this is news to me that the bars ate disappearing. Now I know the start date is the 20th so I wasn’t pressed until I saw my job changed our EIN number and my info is wrong so I called the IRS finally spoke to someone like if my EIN was wrong it should have been rejected she said if the address and name matched that EIN it wouldn’t so I should hear from them if they need info but they should have the correct info right?????

[Ivegotbillsbillsbills]

Filed 1/15, accepted 1/20. Wmr still at 1 bar :(

[Anonymous]

Non for me so sad :(

[Anonymous]

Me either :(

[amanda]

I filed early and was part of the the test batch. I got my DD on Feb 6th. I always get my W2 electronically. January. 15 so, I file that day or the next to get it done and over with! I was never pushed to the back of any line last year and I was accepted early. As of this year, I’m not checking my DDD until people say they have one or the last day of January. Last year I didn’t even look for a DDD until someone told me theirs was on there. Ever since that one year where it gave you a DDD then it suddenly changed to like 2 weeks later, thats when the whole cycle chart stopped and you had to be accepted And approved to get a DDD, they started the whole 21 days thing. I’m more worried about my state return. And it’s a 1/16 of my federal. Don’t worry, it will come, your not being audited check at the end of the month. I have 2 kids and would like to get a newer car, but I have What I need and my kids do too, so anything else is a bonus! Good luck!

[amanda]

I don’t know… I agree with a Previous poster, you would think in 6 days now someone would have an updated status! No one does! So, they are just sitting around?! I thought the computers did the returns now, unless you are audited?! Not one person in the Us is past 1 bar! So they paused the computers?! No, they are processing them they just aren’t updating the info. They will update mid week to late Friday, I bet! Computers do the returns now, they are set up to do billions of returns. From the post it sounded like people were processing our returns… nah, they just aren’t updating the wmr. Site, only to add people to the accepted status.

[amanda]

Mine came up manual review for a second year in a row. Their is either no info of any kind or manual review popping up for Ohio. They just want us to wait 15 days then look again. Personally I think the fraud filter is crap! All they have to do is like the IRS does to authenticate you when you log in as a guest for your transcript… when you put in your ssn. It asks information only you would know… to be honest they asked me questions I didn’t even know about myself! I dont know when my grandma was born! but if your red. Flagged. They will pause your return until going complete the quiz online or by phone?! WTH! They should have made us fill out a quiz with the return! They are blaming slow refunds on the fraud filter, I don’t buy it! They just want to hold on to their $, but it’s not theirs, we paid and they owe us! Federal and Ohio are pulling the same crap this year!

[amanda]

I agree… it definitely should have updated to at least show your return as received. I almost peed my pants again this year when my return came up “manual review” Again this year! Last year I saw it and called, they had no idea Why, no one asked me for more info… a week later there was a DDD. I honestly think the manual review is their way of not giving any info out until the 15 days, then they will post a DDD. I filed on the 20 and was accepted the 20th. The 21 my manual review popped up. No one is being manually reviewed, they would have asked for more info by now. I’m sure red flagged will be audited and asked for more info and to filed out the quiz online or by phone. Which is horse poo, because you had to put your I’d issue date or last years AIG. To authenticate. The 15 day wait is their way to hold on to their $ and make more $! Don’t you think it’s odd that federal and Ohio isn’t releasing any info of any kind on refunds this year? Come on! At least give us the state $ back, I paid my $ on time so pay me mine on time or I’ll send Ohio a bill for interest… Lol!

[luislovezme]

NO UPDATE FOR ME STILL AT 1 BAR :'( FILED ON 1/20 AND ACCEPTED THATS SAME DAY BUT NO CHANGE AT ALL SO I GUESS I WILL WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEKEND CAUSE LAST YEAR I FILED ON 1/30 AND GOT APPROVED ON 2/6 AND DDD 2/10 SO THAT WAS 11 days so i will wait until the 1/31/15 to see what happens! !!

[644KSQ]

No update for me

[IamTHATbean]

Down, not done… sorry.

[IamTHATbean]

WMR is done…here’s hoping!!!

[gtjib]

Fingers crossed for 3am! :)

[Melissa]

If you filed your tax return electronically, it takes about 3 weeks before the tax transcript will be available. If you mailed in a paper copy of your tax return, it takes about 6 weeks. If you did not pay all the taxes you owe, your return and your transcript may not be available until mid-May, or a week after you pay the full amount owed. Got this off their website, hopes this helps answer some questions.

[Melissa]

I agree with Daniel, checking constantly, calling them, etc will not speed anything up. I check the WMR once a day, usually in the morning. I figure there are so many tax payers returns they have to go through, no sense in getting impatient. Each year I have got mine back in 7 to 14 days, but last year did take a bit longer…no big deal though.

[daniel]

Fox News !! I didnt make it up !! Dont sound good to me and the trend of no ddds and no transcripts seem to confirm this…
Not good !!
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/12/19/irs-chief-warns-refund-delays-over-budget-cuts/

[daniel]

Jessica, your right, people need their transcripts for various reasons, but not 50 times a day on the site to see if the 2014 ones are avail. This is what I said in the post, not for persons just checking it once…. If people choose to believe this that’s fine, if they don’t that’s fine too, I got $ I don’t need this refund.. BUT, the info i tried to pass on as a service is in fact ACCURATE !! trying to avoid issues for people but people can do what they want…

[Dawn]

Two years ago I filed with HR Block they messed up on Bus. Rule 500 as well. They had the wrong version and when I told them what the IRS said they told me they updated it and would resend . waited six weeks before i finally got my refund. Nope they never gave me anything back for their mistake. I haven’t used them since and never will again.

[jiji]

Irs doesn’t only refund on Fridays. .. where do you people get your info from? ? Last year I got my refund on a Thursday.

[Jay]

NIKITA – that screw up by H&R Block was 2 years ago, and it was Form 8863 – Education Tax Credits. I know because I was a part of it. They deflected blame and still charged full price. Nobody affected by it was compensated in any way.

[nikita]

AMANDA: I think people are thinking it matters where they filed I believe it was last year (maybe year before) H&R Block didn’t update a specific part of their systems to new regulations which caused every one of the returns filed by them with a specific form (Not sure which one) to be sent to error resolution. There was a huge chunk of people that had to wait longer than normal due to H&R blocks’ mistake

[Waiting]

My NC has been accepted but is processing…

[jonvia]

The state of nc revenue is not accepting returns yet.

[Kristi h]

It’s glitch at best this year. If you even suspect you have an offset, expect it, then be pleasantly surprised if you don’t.

[Anonymous]

oh wow.. ok, I filed on the 20th.. just waiting…

[lennyfromga]

@ lamoney0409 I filed with TT. TT received it on 1/12 @7pm. Received by GA 1/13 @ 10am. Accepted by GA 1/14 @ 11am.

[Kathryn]

Thanks all

[kalyn]

I filled on the 17th and got my card yesterday

[kristen]

I filed my taxes on the 8th this year and got my card in exactly a week. I used netspend last year also and got my deposit three days early also before wmr even updated but I got it at around noon.

[Edward]

Yes, it is a good choice, you will get your tax refund fast. Just watch for it. You will see.

Edward

[mswall06]

Mine is still down too

[Anonymous]

Hi Hi Hi typos, my phone has a mind of its own!

[ni]

The last time I had an offset I called the day I filed and was accepted…. it stated there was an offset then about 5 days later I called again to make sure it was just the one and there was none so i contacted a representative and they said that as soon as my refund was processed and approved the money was sent to child support office and the remaining balance was sent to refund distribution to be sent out when everyone else’s refunds were deposited that week (this was 2-3 years ago when refunds went out weekly not daily. So maybe your debt has been paid. Can you log into your dept of education account and check the balance?

[Anonymous]

My friend that gave me the date of the 28th said that the infovwas on their corp conference call. That they will release the deposit codes in the 28th but to tell people to check the 3rd so they don’t get flooded. Have faith guys, no one has to lie!

[taxesqa15]

filed on friday 1/23 and not accepted yet. in past years was accepted within 24 hours

[Jessica]

Not true on the software seeing you as needing more of a closer review. Some people actually do need the transcripts asap for school.

[Keri]

I had this done too. Before I filed, I called and my husband had one so we called to make payments and I called the DOE(depart. of edu) and they said they were still gonna take over 5000 out of my refund, so I filed injured spouse. Got accepted the 20th and called yesterday and his offset wasnt on there. Either they took it off because I made payment plans + first payment or I dunno what else, but if thats the case I filed IS for no reason!

[Bill]

I called the offset hotline on the 22nd 2 days after I was accepted. I had a offset called last night and today and their was no offset anymore?! Anyone else have this issue or know what’s going on ?

[Anonymous]

I filed with taxslayer on the 16th got accepted on the 20th that morning now at the first bar hope something change in the am for the better of course lol

[Keri]

Still not working for me!!!! Anyone else??

[Paul]

i was able to get into my transcripts tonight, however, 2014 is still not available…

[kumara]

Last year my return was accepted on 1/31. return credited on 7th Feb.

This year filed on 1/20 ,accepted on 1/21. Expecting my return to be credit by 29th or 30th.

[CarolinaGirl27910]

Filed on 1/24. Accepted 1/24.

[kumara]

Filed on 1/20 , accepted on 1/21. Saw this message today.

We authorized your refund on Friday, January 23, 2015.

Please allow:

10 business days to receive your refund by direct deposit, or

25 business days to receive your refund by check.

If we made any adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.

[Hawks]

So if I filed on the 21 I will get my money on the 6th than

[exaccountant]

I have always e-filed my taxes and have been in the accounting field. In all previous years, an indication that returns were actually being processed (not just received and accepted by the IRS) was that clients were able to go to the IRS website and get an online transcript for the current year’s return. So far this year, I am not aware of anyone who has been able to obtain the transcripts as of yet, hence none have been processed. Because of the Health Care Act and budget cuts, I believe we are all looking at closer to the 21 days than in previous years, although they have generally used that in past years as a fall back in case of delays or issues. It is also absolutely not true that WHERE you filed taxes, or who your accountant is, determines how soon you will receive your refund. The refunds are processed in order that they are received, then by difficulty (1040 EZ first, ) errors are held, etc. Once IRS.GOV starts showing movement on the transcripts, that indicates that returns are being processed and THEN we will see movement and DDDs.

[Amber]

Only federal student loans will be garnished from federal refund. Your PA state refund will be offset for a state loan.
