@whatthebleep. My numbers on my transcript is 447 as of 04/01. Can you help me figure it out? Thanks!
I am so upset. I haven’t heard from the Advocate, even left a msg. I did the math that @whatthebleep did and it’s not comforting at all. I am soo upset. I can’t take much more of this.
My refund is supposed to be deposited tomorrow and it closed on 4/15. If it is there, then 9 days from closed to money in my account.
@billbilly You wil probley geta DDD with in a week, it took a total of 9 days for me to get a DDD and DD.
I just spoke with a rep. she said my claim was finished and was posted april 18th and that it would be paid within 2-3 weeks. Will it take that long, or can i expect it sooner. BTW the injured spouse claim was accepted Feb 23rd.
We got the ball rolling on a TA this morning. Was told they would call by Friday. Hoping that they will help. @brokeandfrusterated so glad that you are getting somewhere! I would be money (haha) that ours is just sitting there too. :(
@katmill2369: Yes sounds like the rep you talked to has a problem with her math and can’t count. :) Heard from our TA for the first time yesterday and she was nice, said she will get our refund expedited and that our processing has been done for a while, it’s just been sitting there for God knows how long. She said we would probably have our money before she calls us again. We will see, at this point I don’t trust what anyone says…..
So, I just talked to another rep….she was very rude and cranky and told me that I don’t even reach my 11 weeks until May 23rd?! WTF?! We filed 1/30, accepted 2/14 (effing education credits) and have been told by a TA that May 1st was D-day. So…..what is going on?! Every time I call I get a different answer!!! I am so beyond frustrated. If you count from my original file date I’m at 12 weeks, the damn education credits date 10 weeks! I am so irritated I can’t see straight. I understand that we have a debt, so we filed the proper form and all that crap, we waited, patiently for the most part, but it’s OUR MONEY.
How are you guys getting any answers?? I keep calling and just getting bulllsh*t! Ugh, sorry for the vent guys. Stupid IRS.@kellis101 Welcome to the waiting game!
I have been keeping up with this thread for weeks now and decided to chime in. I will continue to wait with the rest of you. I filed 3/4,accepted 3/6. Tomorrow will start my 7th week of waiting. WMR says “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” This is my second year filing injured spouse. Last year it took alot longer due to an amended return. This year I am just anxious to get my money. I called the IRS and was basically told that it will take 11 weeks and to call back if I haven’t received anything. Looks like I have 4 more weeks to go. I am hoping for something sooner, we shall see…
No change for me either.
Grats on those getting their refunds!
Nothing here for me. No change on WMR and nada in the bank. Ugh. Congrats to those getting refunds!! Yay!!
No change on WMR this morning and no refund in our bank account, but we were assigned a TA yesterday and she was really nice and said she would get our refund expedited. Fingers crossed and praying hard!
Still waiting here. Just checked WMR… no change in status. We are going on our 9th week of waiting. I havent had the desire, or time really with being at work all day, to call the IRS. I’m going to give it until the 11th week and then start calling like crazy if we don’t see anything before then. I’ll also be off on maternity leave then too, so I will be able to call more often.
Our offset is from the VA. Do you think if my husband calls the VA they might be able to give him some information on what has gone on behind the seens with the money?
I’ve been mostly lurking but I’m also still here waiting around for our refund. Congrats to all of those who recently got their money! My form was mailed on 03/11 so this is the start of my 7th week. Hoping for good news soon.
Congratulations @8fullinches !
finally got our check today in mail,7 weeks,5 days since they first received IR form in mail,good luck to you all,
Just got a phone call from a TA. Very nice lady and she said basically our return is pretty much done and just sitting there, so she is sending over a request to expedite our refund. She didn’t give me a time frame but said that we would probably have our refund very soon. She also told me that she filed an injured spouse form herself and hers was just sitting there too so she knows how we all feel. Anyway, I am very cautiously optimistic. Praying all of us get good news soon.
Thanks @j33 :-)!
When contacting a congressman, do you contact your State rep. or the US rep?
For anyone who doesn’t follow the Facebook site, here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/272344846175042/
You have to sign up for the group because it’s private however both my wife and I were approved in less then 5 minutes.
@whatthebleep Happy for you, finally over! Praying for everyone else to get DDD soon. I was looking on Facebook ant there is several people who are past the 11th week and still waiting. Irs does say o call back and ask to have a referral put on account to try to get it moving faster. But they say it can take up to 30 days for referral. Some also say to keep calling to see if you get a nice representative that will work on your return while you sit on the phone. That is what I did I finally called is department and had a nice representative who unfrozen my refund and I received with in 9 days. Also read that a TA will take your refund to be delayed if your near or past 11 weeks.
Unfortunately, it is becoming my experience that the TA is causing it to take longer. My 11 weeks is up next week, and we got a TA because we are being forced to move, and I wanted to try to expedite our return. Now the TA is telling me the earliest to expect anything is May 28th…
@Saros: We haven’t been contacted by a TA as of yet and I doubt we will be. I am not going to push the issue either.
@brokeandfrustrated Careful with the TA. In a few instances a TA can actually DELAY your return. Just read on Facebook yesterday about a TA who put in an inquiry and when the person called on the progress of the return, they were informed that the funds were ready to be deposited, however they are now frozen until the inquiry is completed.
Also, once a TA takes your case, the IRS agents are no longer required to discuss your case with you, and the majority will not.It’s just my opinion, but I have never seen a case that was accelerated because a TA was involved. I suppose a TA can call them every single day, but I really doubt it speeds up the return.
@brokeandfrustrated Call the state congressman’s office. If you don’t have the number google it on line. I have seen that most have helped quite a bit.
@ugh…seriously I have education credits on my return but am waiting on my refund. However on my account transcript it shows it is credited back to my account.
@whatthebleep: So happy for you! And thank you for your prayers. I am seriously considering emailing my senator. We are in dire straights financially and simply cannot keep waiting for our refund. The lady at the IRS told me last week that we really can’t expect it until the 11 weeks is up on May 16th but I told her we can’t wait that long which is why she put in a referral for a TA for us. Well the TA has yet to contact us and I am fed up!
@whatthebleep So happy you got it! What a relief. No deposit for me and no update on WMR. I’ll check again after work.
Thats good news @maximo2 :-)
No update on WMR, so I called IRS again. Was given paper check to be sent 4/26, I guess maybe thats because I paper filed IS form after e-filing return. So I’m hopeful, but I’ll believe it when it gets here, but I did ask him if that is a definite date and he said yes a check will be mailed out on 4/26. So heres to hoping for everyone. Seems this week is good for all us spouses. By the way e filed 1/31, Is form received by IRS 2/07.
I’m praying for you too @katmill
I’m praying for you @brokeandfrustrated
Nothing for me this morning, either in the account or on WMR. Damn. Congrats @whatthebleep!!!! Hopefully the rest of us will get some $$ soon!!
No change on WMR this morning. :( :(
Hey you guys remember i told you I have a friend that works for IRShovenstuff? Well he just told me that technically even if you have a dd they aren’t supposed to tell us over the phone. He said that some people told their dd on the px are calling in irate because they haven’t received it as told, so now they can only tell us to watch WMR, even if they see a dd is coming…crazy huh? Makes sense, but sucks too. Just thought I’d share.
Morning guys and gals got my money a few minutes ago. I hope you guys all hear something this week. I’m still gonna be checking this forum so let me know if you all need info from me.
Well, I’ve looked on this page for a couple weeks, now I’m finally posting. Return and IS submitted electronically on 1/30 but not accepted until 2/14 due to education credits. I haven’t ordered transcripts (not that I know what that means), WMR still says the same boring message and the offset hotline has not updated saying anythings been applied yet. Does anyone know of anyone thats received their refund with education credits? entering week 10 here, only took 8 weeks last year :(
Thanks @irstressing I’m crossing my fingers and toes for you guys. Thats correct. I found this theory on a turbotax community thread so it’s no guarantee or anything but I wanted to see how the numbers were playing out for everyone that did get a dd. mine was 423,it was really close for me so maybe it will be for everyone else too? I’m supposed to get my refund tomorrow morning and I will update everyone as soon as I do.
@whatthebleep so if your theory is right and I counted right tomorrow would be my day. (?) I’ll let you know if I get it. Have you got yours yet?
@whatthebleep my number is 426.
@katmill2369 Forget checking WMR. Every year, out of curiosity my wife and I check the WMR AFTER we have received our refund and ya know what it says? “Your tax return is still being processed.
A refund date will be provided when available.”Ignore WMR. It’s not very accurate.
@m_wag Welcome to the waiting game! Good to have others join me…..not good for you of course but you know :)
@katmill2369: I am going to do the same, start checking our bank everyday as the rep told you. Hoping we all get some good news next week. Praying for everyone to get their money soon!
WMR is the same for me today too :(. I’m hoping since tomorrow is a new week and the rep on Friday said that she can’t “officially” tell us, but to start checking the bank account next week that things will start looking up. Fingers crossed!
WMR says the same old crap this morning. Called three days ago for a TA and they told me it would be up to 7 days before I am contacted by a TA. I am so fed up and if there is no change on WMR tomorrow morning I will be calling the IRS again. This is ridiculous!! We have virtually no money in the bank and payday is still 9 days away. :(
Can I play the waiting game with you all? We e-filed our return and the IS form and it was accepted 2/14. I was able to order transcripts online this morning. I hope that means something…
I’m extremely happy to hear about all of you getting your refunds. I requested the help of a TA 3 days ago. I was old I would hear from one Monday. My wife told me to “just leave it alone, you can’t rush them” Well this time i’m hoping my wife is wrong. Wishing with all those that haven’t received their refunds that this week is the one.
Awesome news for you too @injured4life! Would you mind telling me your 3 digit nbr too please?
That’s awesome news @irstressing! Congratulations :) would you mind letting me know what your 3 digit nbr is on your account transcript if you have it? I’m experimenting :)
Is there anyone else left aside from us and katmill2369? Way I figure, it’s going to be May in 2 weeks. There can’t be that many refunds left to even process! They have to get to us eventually! Trying to stay positive here haha.
Yay for good news guys!!! My WMR is still the same :(. So we shall see if that theory has any merit to it @whatthebleep. Who knows with the IRS.
@injured4life awsome! Don’t be a stranger now. We might be here for awhile! haha.
No change here but it’s only been 2 days. I will check back with ya all next week. Maybe before next weekend I can see some progress.
Sorry for the typo…was too excited. lol
Mine WMR changed from offset applied to debt to we have received your refund and shows the amount we are getting back. No ddd yet but there’s progress. :)
WMR changed this morning!!! I have the orange bar now. States refund is scheduled to be sent April 24th. My blood pressure is starting to come down. I think I’m on board with some of you. Better to owe the government than to wait 11 + frustrating weeks.
Some people say anything over 366 in that 3 digit nbr is considered invalid so the theory is bogus but who knows…
And supposedly you can get your refund anywhere between those 21 days.. ? Who knows just wanted to share :-)
Ok katmill2369 thanks for responding :-) i was trying to test someone’s theory about Jillian dates…which is what that 3 digit nbr is supposed to be.. So you would subtract 445-365=80.. Then count 80days from jan30th and then 21 days from there you should get your refund.. but that would make today your day 80, which would mean between now and 21 days from now the irs has to get you your refund…make sense? I dunno how valid it is but I thought it was pretty cool? :-)
Thanks dear..ok one sec I’m gonna do some math
Ok I’ll bite @whatthebleep mine are 445……. LOL.
Well if anybody finds their transcripts and finds this 3 digit nbr plse let me know i think I figured something out…
Or anyone else? Lol that has account transcripts handy? :-)
It would be the 6th, 7th, and 8th digit right in the middle.
Hey everyone happy Saturday :-) hey @brokeandfrustrated you have your account transcripts handy? If so look under the transactions part at the bottom, there is a 14 digit number there can you plse tell me what the middle 3 digits are of that number are? Just wanna see something…
No change on WMR this morning and no deposit in the bank. :( I am going to start checking the bank everyday though since others have said that WMR has not always been updating as it should. Praying we have our money soon. Still haven’t been called by a TA and it’s been three days since I requested one…..
Well, I talked to a pretty helpful rep yesterday. For one their computer system was down so that was causing a bunch of problems, and I got my first consistent answer of May 1st….at the latest. She also said that WMR is more often than not NOT changing so to start checking the bank account daily. As of next week. She couldn’t give me a DDD but she did recommend checking the account next week so….maybe next week? At least the rep and the TA have both said that the refund will be here by May 1st. My son’s birthday is May 4th so, fingers crossed LOL.
How about everyone else? News? My WMR hasn’t changed at all as of this morning.Officially 11 weeks today. No change on WMR, and no check in my mailbox. Looks like this game is headed into overtime.
I filed 1/24. Wasn’t touched till 2/12 then I got letter on 3/12 veriified on 3/13 Called today 4/19 and was told that I Was underreview and needed to verify then told well it says 4-6 weeks but the department is asking for and additional 16 weeks … Problem, for me is I need my transcripts for fafsa. Tax advocate still has not contacted me.
@j33 I am so glad you go your DD. That gives me hope. I am really getting tired of this back and forth. I am hoping that the Advocate is right and that they can get this settled next week for me. My back is to the corner now. All I can do now is wait and pray.
Hey that’s great news @j33 I’m happy for you, especially considering you didn’t even need the injured spouse form, congrats :-)
Sorry to hear there is no change on WMR for guys, I know it seems as you will never get your date but it is coming. I finally received my refund in my bank this morning, very happy this is over with. My WMR did change to DDD of 4/19 on 4/17, this morning bars are still showing as approved they have not moved to sent.
@purple33 I am with you! I would rather owe the IRS and make them wait for their money like they have made us wait! I am definitely not going through this again next year….
@maximo2 I would be calling them up everyday. If I was given a DDD and it past with no DD. That is crap. I am so sorry that you have to go through this! Wow.
Still nothing here either, no changes to WMR, Of all the many stories from IRS the one consistent thing was that my return was all through processing and was just waiting on a DDD since 04/01, but still nothing. Will keep updated pray for us all.
