Hi. We have 4 children, 2 are from previous relations ships and neither father is in the picture, the children are ages 14 and 10. It is telling me that if I don’t have some kind of court order I have to file some kind of form to be able to claim the kids, IDK if that was something we had to do before since we always used JH in the past. I put i’m their step father but should I just put that we both are the legal guardians? Not sure what to do.
I’ve not heard of an actual IRS acceptance, then rejection. Are you sure it wasn’t your tax software saying you were accepted, then getting a rejection? If so, that’s a glitch on their end.
I was rejected last year, because my daughter filed that no one could claim her when we actually could…she moved out on December 21, her 18th birthday, and when we filed, it said a dependent’s SSN had been used already. Found out she did that deliberately because she didn’t find it fair that we “made money off her”…God, self righteous kids…
Anyway, it was a straight rejection. Pending through preparer straight to reject.
Tell us a little more…what the steps were and who said what, maybe then we can help better.
i filed and already been approved and have my DDD heres the screenshot from my phone
if that didnt work heres the link for proof http://postimg.org/image/s0zb6fy2p/
I filed on 1/9 and was accepted on 1/13.
Okay I submitted on the 18th accepted this morning around 930/10.
Lemme guess, another turd? I’m not even going to look at photos…I figure legit proof shares will show up on the facebook page.
Sam, that is the second link to a literal piece of crap you have left this morning. It is getting annoying. Also, I was eating a Twix at the time, “was” being the operative word there.
Can’t you find something else to do down there in your mom’s basement? Maybe if you look hard enough, you’ll find a soccer ball. :-)
Now I will attempt to eat my other Twix half in peace.
It means the IRS accepted it, but the TT software just hasn’t updated to show it yet.
That happened to me, too.
I heard about a supposed turbo tax glitch, and went ahead and filed with Tax Act yesterday, being TT was pending from 1/15. I knew the worst that could happen was whichever one processed second, it would simply be rejected.
So, I got an email from Tax Act saying Federal was rejected because the Primary SSN had been used this year.
Logged onto TT, said “pending”.
Went to my IRS2Go app which has WMR built into it for the heck of it.
One orange bar, showing accepted.
An hour later, got the text from TT and the email saying it got accepted.
TT shows Feb. 20 for refund date (of course, that is 21 business days from now), but says 9 out of 10 people last year got theirs within 7-10 business days.
I remember it being pretty short, all things considered last year, but I’ve never had one within the week, it’s usually two for me…I always had seemed to file just after a cycle processed. LOL
Ok people, let’s get to it! Lol Wondering something: I am about to try and order a transcript, there is no way this could delay my refund or have any nefarious side effects is there?
PS I think I posted this in another spot when it should’ve been here. Sorry guys, first time in a group.
Those who want to keep up with other TaxSlayer filers can post here.
So far, I filed on 1/20 and got accepted on 1/20. WMR shows one bar.
TT 152 doesn’t mean much really. As far as I know it is a more or less generic topic that gives basic information about the tax refund process. People get desperate about their refunds and start reading more into things than exist, and I think a lot of the talk about TT152 is part of that.
I have heard rumors both last year and already this year that if you see TT152 everything in your filing is good to go, and you are going to be given a DDD very soon. I have also read claims that if you have the TT152 your actual DD is in the next (or in this case first group of) Direct Deposits, but I honestly don’t believe any of that. If your refund has been accepted you can expect your refund within 20 days of it being accepted.
My experience with E-Filing (going back to the mid nineties) is that I have gotten Direct Deposits in as little as six days (happened two years in a row, 98 and 99), and as much as three weeks (last year was the longest I have had to wait, I filed on the January 15th, was accepted early on the 16th, but processing didn’t start until the 25th), I got my DD on 2/7. That was right at three weeks, and it nearly drove me nuts. I made the mistake of not paying attention to reality and let myself get convinced that I was going to get it much quicker, and honestly expected it around the 25th, even though I knew the IRS was behind because of the government shutdown.
This year I am also hoping I will get it quick, a week turn around would be great, but so would two weeks, and if I have to wait until 2/6, I will survive. My big lesson from last year is to not count on it coming before the IRS says to expect it, I did that last year, and found myself in a jam waiting on money for a week and a half that I had counted on getting earlier.
Good deal, thanks! I just couldn’t really invest too much time to information last year because of what my daughter was putting us through. Thank you for the clarification!
Kristi, Tax Topic 152 means absolutely nothing. It is basically telling you that once your refund amount is “approved” you will have your DD within 21 days. Having TT 152 doesn’t mean that your amount is approved, it doesn’t mean that your DDD will show up tomorrow. Everyone whose return was “accepted” has TT 152. TT 152 showing up today just says that the IRS received your return and it is being processed. Once your refund amount is “approved” 2nd orange bar, then your DDD will be forthcoming. People read too much into TT152 but no one actually reads it. The amount of your refund while in 1st bar showing “accepted” could still change. Once accepted, it has to be actually reviewed and could up until “approved” be sent back for corrections. Please do not get all excited at this point. Get excited once “approved” shows up.
I put this question in another thread earlier, no responses inside that person’s thread, but I just need help remembering.
Is it just me, or last year, when Tax Topic 152 popped up, wasn’t that generally a good sign, and usually the next WMR date showed up with a DDD, or am I confused?
I can’t remember how it went last year, and want to provide the answer for others to the best of my knowledge, and I just can’t remember how it went down last year, because my daughter moved out at the end of the tax year, and then claimed that no one could claim her when we legally could (she had just turned 18 December 21st), and screwed us out of $2,000 in credits, and we needed it SO badly last year…so I wasn’t fully concentrating on info like I normally am.
Please let me know if I’m right or not. On a side note, my taxes got accepted today after pending since 1/15, but I have TT152 on mine already. That’s crazy. LOL
Thanks!
Filed with TT on the 14th, at 9pm, roughly, federal accepted the 16th, state (GA) accepted this morning. WMR says accepted, one orange bar, with amount to the left and Topic 152.
I was just accepted for Federal taxes filing with a 1040c for my small sole proprietorship business. This is my first year. Checked WMR and I have one orange bar for acceptance! So nervous waiting for it to advance and hoping I don’t get pulled for audit being my first year. Anyone with experience in this and how long it usually takes for them to decide to pull for an audit? Thanks.
Has anyone here ever been.accepted by the IRS, then rejected? Why does this happen?
Every year I am so antsy in the waiting period from acceptance to approval, so I am curious as to what the acceptance to approval/rejection process entails.
If anyone out there knows about the process and reasons for rejection, or has experienced it first hand, please share with us! :-)
I filed this morning at 11:38 with Turbo Tax. I received a text at 12:52 saying it was accepted. It shocked me. I’ve never had it happen so fast.
I was accepted by the IRS on the 12th. I was showing 1 bar through WMR. Now it states for the last 3 days no bars and your return is still being processed with no amount. Not to sure what to expect.
@Sam, while tax preparers certainly do just that, if wmr says you are accepted, you are accepted. The IRS accepted my return on the 16th, I filed with TT the 14th. So, whether simply as a test or not, the IRS has officially accepted several returns before the 20th.
As far as time frames, if the first date last year was the 6th, and they opened the 30th, wouldn’t that mean this year the earliest DDD would be the 27th?
Update: Just got the official “Accepted” email from TT!! YAY!
Filed 1/17
sent to IRS 12:55 pm 1/20
waiting….No I meant 5 days for it to be accepted last year not for a refund, I wish! It was 2 weeks to the day last year from acceptance for my refund
Exact same situation here. It looks like we’ve been accepted but TT is slow and hasn’t changed us from Pending to Accepted yet. I’m choosing to believe the IRS over TT.
It means that your return was accepted. I would sign on to TT and see if it has been updated.
SO i filed on the 18th of this month , TT has not emailed me anything but i went to where is my refund and its on the first bar. What does that mean?
Sorry, I have never asked this before. I always wondered was it actually 21 business days or 21 calendar days from the acceptance date?
I was in the test batches for 2012 and 2013 .. And the 1121 coders… And the refund canceled group offer year.
I guess I’m asking what to expect if everything is going smoothly thus far.Thanks so much!
no DDD yet. Pretty positive it will be overnight or tomorrow!!!
Filed today at 735am and already accepted by IRS! Last year took 5 days
I filed 1/13. No update/email/text from Turbo Tax.But am able to log onto WM and see it was received and Processing. 1 bar with TT 152.
I was just accepted via TT also. I filed 1/14. They’ve already refunded my fees so that’s a plus.
