Filed 1/28 3:01pm, accepted 1/28 3:16pm (eastern)

Transcripts are n/a, 1 bar.
Trying not to be impatient but I cant! Lol
hope we see an update tonight.

I went through tax act my irs refund was accepted in the 13th in a test batch and has been stuck in processing since. I called irs to see if there was a glitch in the system the women yelled at me and told me to call back Feb 10th when it has been 21 days. But didn’t answer the question about the glitch. I normally file early with no problems but this has me kind of concerned. Has anyone else this problem or still having this problem?

I filed my state and federal return on 1/20/15 , this is the first time I have the state give me a date before the federal.
Last year my DD date for the State was 2/18/14 I received with Netspend at 4 p.m. on 2/13/14.

[wat]

@illybeans I’m not sure how much sense that makes. According to Turbotax, 50% of the people who filed with them and were accepted on the same day I was have already gotten their money. That’s a little more than a handful :p

[Cafeazucartx]

@jillybeans thanks so much for that I was getting worried and the horror stories you read about taking a year to get a refund and only getting a small portion of what you were expecting…. This makes me feel a lot better that processing is just beginning versus in limbo since the 20th

[Anonymous]

Thank you Beast… :) An amend will be no problem.

[Anonymous]

@taxpayer2013 Thank you.
@thesassysunnyd I’m in the boat same as you. Filed jointly with my husband, have two kids. I was the only one without insurance. Hopefully we see some movement this week!

[jillybeans]

WMR is down (most likely) due to heavy traffic overloading the server(s). Happens every year at the end of January. That is when the IRS selects handfuls of efiled returns to “test” on. That also explains why some that have filed later are getting their DDD sooner. It is like a lottery, if you will. No returns are processed prior to the first day, even though they can be filed before that.

Only reason I know this is from working in a CPA firm for far too many years. Thank GOD I get to be a SAHM mom now and not deal with this crap on a daily basis :)

Best of luck to everyone!

[Anonymous]

Moneybaby – your DD for 2/4 will not be less, you will have to file an amended return after you receive your DD. The IRS doesn’t likely have the forgotten w-2 yet.

[Missy]

Filed on the 28th HRB Online..still not accepted or rejected…guess my return is floating around in space somewhere hopefully tomorrow I can get some answers from someone..

[Missy]

Filed on the 28th after IRS started accepting returns…used HRB online myself..submitted but not accepted or rejected and it’s been 5 days. HRB gave me a case number sent to escalation department that isn’t open until tomorrow..anyone ever had this happen to them?

[Jorrie]

Filed 1/25 late afternoon accepted within 15mins. Cant check WMR last time I checked yesterday there was no DDD and no transcripts showing for 2014. This is frustrating!!

[Missy]

Bart

You said wait 12 days due to backlog but isn’t the IRS supposed to accept or reject in 24-48 hours? Why are others that filed same day and days after being accepted? It’s been 5 days and I have no idea where my return is. Filed HRB online the 28th..all I can see is efile transmitted. IRS shows no information for me. Just don’t understand have had no changes this year and always accepted in a couple of hours. Don’t understand why HRB can’t resend the return. Can’t reach a live person at the IRS..wouldn’t be that worried if it at least showed the IRS received my return.

[Anonymous]

I got another w-2 “unexpected” with a weeks worth of pay from another job. Which means my refund will be $300 less than it should be. I am expected a DD on the 4th as well. Has anyone else ever experienced this? sigh…..

[Anonymous]

That was also at least 4 years ago, they may have changed things up since then, but they have to make their money.

[irs_limbo]

sorry my last message was meant for @ tradami

[irs_limbo]

Aww please don’t take offense. I don’t mean to come off so frantic. lol. I do feel your pain. I went through it the year of the education credit debacle. So I know the deal of waiting and I’m not saying my plight is anywhere near those like you that have been waiting for three weeks. Still it’s just helpful to know if I’ve been approved. They can take their time sending the money, just let me know its gotten through and I can go about my business. To be honest that’s why I don’t usually file early because I noticed that early filers always get the shaft, and not in a good way. This year I waited five days after they started accepting returns to file even though I had my w2 since the first week in January. So I wasn’t rushing to the gates. But with all these other folks getting approved so fast after my filing date with no rhyme or reason I’m a very puzzled. If it wasn’t for that I would be like okay, just give it ten days as the pattern has gone before. I thought I had my ducks lined up, having my w2’s early for once and waiting a couple days. Most times I don’t file until early Feb or even March. I guess I was wrong and should have waited longer. Saved myself the agony.

[Anonymous]

@tswan20, basically no, you can use the ATM but they charge you $3.00 on top of what that bank charges you, plus $1.00 every time you swipe. I believe the limit is either $500 or $1000per day. Thats why I got rid of them

[Florida]

Found this interesting as to why they are using 570 hold for this particular debt, they want to be sure they collect…
This comes from this Washington post article

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/get-there/wp/2015/01/12/how-obamacare-could-complicate-your-tax-return/

The fee could be added to your tax bill or subtracted from your tax refund, but the IRS won’t have as much authority when it comes to collecting the penalty as it does for collecting other tax liabilities. For instance, the agency won’t be able to put a lien on your property if you don’t pay up as it can with other tax bills. People who don’t pay also can’t be subject to criminal charges. But the money could be added to future tax bills, so if you don’t pay now, you may have to pay eventually.

[thesassysunnyd]

I have been watching this site like a hawk for updates, and figured it was finally time to ask some questions myself. I am one of the ones who filed and accepted 1/22/14 with cycle code 20150402 with tax code 570/896. My husband and I filed married filing joint, and we have two little girls. I have not heard anything from Indiana State or WMR, and its quite frustrating to see a lot of people already receiving their money when my CPA quoted me about ten business to receive my refund when we filed. But oh well… I’ll just hang out here with the other thousands in the same boat. A lot of people have been saying that WMR is down. I think this may be why. I pulled it from the https://sa.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/irfofonlinehelp.jsp page.

[2013taxpayer]

@cmonnnnn: not that i know of….my first time to see it down this long.

[BartD]

Boutme04…. Yes transcriots as they are would be available at least the account transcript would be..

[Amanda]

I just went to pull up my transcript and it says “No Return Filed” …I filed on the 19th, received notification that it was accepted on the 20th. I’m getting a bit concerned now. I used the same software for my mother in laws return a couple days after mine and she has already gotten her refund. Should I be worried that it isn’t acknowledging my return in the transcript? It shows it as accepted on WMR.

[Anonymous]

WMR still down for me and so is the refund line. Is is usually down this long every year?

[2013taxpayer]

@CRYSTALINORLANDO: oh wait, so you dont know if you had a 896/570 since you cant transcript, right?

I got excited there for a minute lol

[Anonymous]

I’m super confused why WMR is working for some while others it’s “down”.

[irs_limbo]

I’ve had health insurance every year, so that can’t be the reason.

[2013taxpayer]

@CRYSTALINORLANDO: hey you!!! Seriously??!!! When did you file and was accepted again? I forgot. You had the cycle 0402 too as well, right?

[Bobbie]

For the early filers who have no ddd, what was ur ACA STATUS? Did u have to pay a fee for not having it or did u get the credit? I think that is what the difference is. Also same question for the ones already with a DDD, what was ur ACA status?

[Anonymous]

Do you think I could be under review ? I have a State DD of 2/09/15 , atleast I have some good news !

[Anonymous]

Lou – if that happens to me, what steps did you have to take to get it back? Just so I’m prepared…

[CRYSTALINORLANDO]

I am part of the healthcare penalty “crew” lol and my WMR updated yesterday morning with a DDD of 2/4 and I was able to order my transcripts via phone Friday evening because I had locked myself out of the online service so it is possible to have received an update over the weekend as I did. However as of today WMR is down but I see it’s down for alot of us.

[Anonymous]

Thank you for your help whathappened.

[Anonymous]

I have a minus sign in front of the amount .

[whathappened]

Yes. Correct

[Anonymous]

The money hasn’t dropped from the top of the transcript , I guess that’s because my refund isn’t issued.

[whathappened]

ok I got you. yes everything looks right for you then

[unkwn519]

Heres to hoping Calvin gets reviewed LMAO! He’s being a dick to everyone, Lets pray to the IRS gods that he gets pulled for review, and then has to wait for a paper check!

[Anonymous]

I’m sorry no my taxpreparer hasn’t received her fees , the balance is my refund including her fees but minus the health care penalty.

[Anne]

SBBT Updates twice a day Mon-Fri

[irs_limbo]

Bumping this thread. Any 1/25er’s have updates to share?

[Anonymous]

My bars went missing Saturday Morning. I checked my transcripts and still no 846 code. Im still Cycle 20150405 and My topic 152 disappeared but Im still seeing my refund amount. Im hoping for an update soon

[Anonymous]

@irs_limbo

Get in line, lol. Many of us have been waiting almost two weeks. I filed 1/8 and was accepted 1/12 in hopes I’d be processed in the first batch on the 20th….

[irs_limbo]

correction: * you don’t have to worry anymore about WMR. You have the money.

[whathappened]

@pooh pooh

Yes your transcript looks correct if your refund is $3,000

WMR is out of control, literally

If your tax preparer is claiming that they already received their fees, that would lead me to believe they have your funds, and should post them soon. However if they are just making a note that your owe them $285 in fees, than it may be a wait still. The IRS would release your full refund at once, they wouldn’t just pay your preparer fees, and hold the rest.

[irs_limbo]

@ straysoul congrats! At least you don’t have to worry anymore. The money that is. I just hope after WMR has been down all day I get some notice. I filed/accepted 1/25. Been a week and no updates. I’m going to cry!!

[Shunnie86]

My husband was under review last year and they just wanted to verify that my son was living in the house with him that year (because my son ssn was stolen the year before) and it only took an extra week so don’t panic. Ex usually ppl get their refund 2 weeks after acceptance he had to wait 3 weeks

[Tammykh]

don’t feed the troll guys :P

[1/28’er]

Calvin, obviously you read as bad as you spell. This post is for 1/28’s not 1/9’s. Move along dude!

[Anonymous]

It didn’t go down for me and I still received the same message with one bar , we have received your return and it is being processed with topic 152.

[straysoul]

Wmr still down however i spoke with emerald card customer service they recieved my refund on 1/30 and bc of fees and it will be availible tuesday 2/3

[Anonymous]

I am in the same boat… I am waiting for the money to go back into SBBT so they will issue me a check.

[Confused in NY]

Has anyone updated since they received the Your tax return was received on blah blah date and is currently awaiting a routine review. Our examination has not yet been completed? I did call their refund hotline it says that they update weekly so I would assume if we received a message like this we would have another update in about a week? Gosh I hope.

[stacy]

I filed an was accepted on the 12th I still have no dd date so I called the irs an they told me my return was still accepted but under review an that I was mailed a letter 2 weeks ago which I have not received. Will I still get my refund or what do I need to do to speed up the process. I tried ordering transcripts but it won’t let me

[Anonymous]

My tax preparer already deducted the $285 fee out of my tax return balance remaining is what is owed to me minus my tax preparers fees.
I don’t understand what’s hold up……. must be the budget cuts….. so they say .

[Anonymous]

Does your transcript look like this at the top.

Account balance – $3,0000

Account balance plus accruals ( this is not a payoff amount) -$3000

[TXROSE]

Happy Feb 1st….. This is the 1/28ers Update section..Well WMR is down for me at 2p cst. I do not imagine we will see any updates till 6am 2/2/15 -only guessing

[Anonymous]

Its still down for me too. Hoping we have updates in the am. Anyone got t’s yet?

[Anonymous]

WMR is still down for me!!

[whathappened]

@2013taxpayer HA! Mine not only went down yesterday evening, I STILL CAN NOT get it to work on the app or my computer, still pops up as down, but phone line works

@Shaunna I hear that!

[Anonymous]

It wohld be fantastic to wake up to money in the bank but I’m not holding my breath! Quite frankly as long as its here by the 13th I’ll be happy, annoyed, but happy. Lol.

[2013taxpayer]

DANG!!! Am I the only one that WMR “did not” go down at all??!! LOL

[kylie]

Ok so I’m wondering will I get an up date because when I try to log in to wmr it says try again later but when I log in with my mom’s info it open straight up with her info for her DDD of feb2. So I tried it twice an it still want let me in but will let her. So hopefully it’s updating with good news. I filed 1/20 accepted same day. transcripts 000’s. Still no DDD. Last year cycle code ends in 01..

[Anonymous]

@budahfly I had the 806 code too. Now all my bars disappeared!! ugh man Im hoping for an update

[2013taxpayer]

@whathappened: i understand. it’s gonna be OUR WEEK this week!

[whathappened]

@Shaunna Yes, people are growing tired of this, as it is quite unfair we are being penalized on top of already being penalized. However don’t be discouraged when there is not update in the morning. There is always the rare chance that a DD will show up in accounts before WMR or transcripts reflect our updates, but I really do trust that as the processing continues and finishes up, we will see updates on WMR, and money towards the end of the week.

[Janea]

I filed through TT and was accepted 1/29. I had an accepted bar yesterday but today it says Unavailable try again later..

[whathappened]

@2013taxpayer LOL! I try to only share what I can back up with actual facts, for example, what comes out of the manual. I however can make no guarantees that the IRS follows their own rules to a T. I am sure there are situations that happen, where they honestly have no control over what is happening, and the only fix is to freeze the process, make a correction, and try again. I just see a lot of tension and hatred starting to pop up on different forums and pages, and that isn’t going to help anyone get their money any faster.

[Anonymous]

I know its going to be a disappointment if people don’t wake up to a change tomorrow but I feel pretty confident this will all be settled this coming week.

[2013taxpayer]

@whathappened: you have always been spot on!!! no doubts here!

[Anonymous]

It’s still down when I try to use my SSN but I can check my status if I use my wife’s SSN. We filed jointly. Strange. My status hasn’t changed. I still have no bars, I have my refund amount but what HAS changed is there is no topic anymore. See here: http://puu.sh/fkXP7/676448f6ab.png

[whathappened]

@Shaunna ABSOLUTELY! Processing happened on Friday, Saturday, and today, just won’t post until tomorrow late.
