I think the best thing to do is make sure you don’t overpay into your taxes next year so you will receive your money in your paycheck, and not get a refund. :) Then, you’ll just pay them a small bit… on April 15. Wait until the last minute to pay THEM!

[Kristen]

My card is declining everytime I try to use it I have over seven thousand dollars on it I went to several different ATMs and stores nothing . I called costumer care said number is invalid so I called from a friends phone finelly after 2 hours I got threw to them only for them to tell me none of there cards are working ( systems down) call back in 2 hours wtf I have bills that need paid today . We all work hard for our money . This is not right …..

[BartD]

nicki good idea

dave yes that would be the 2 stages if you ere in errors the only reason they would send you a letter is if ur refund amount changed

chatami yes i did say that but they are verifying what they claimed. so what that means is the w2 that was claimed is what is being verified… they have no clue of the other w2 until october or later this year. so they arnt looking to verify the 400 they are looking to verify the other amounts u are claiming

bill thank you!!!!

[Katrina]

I filed with tax act on 1-23-15 accepted the same day. I called the Louisiana Department of Revenue and they stated they have no return on file. I spoke with a lady and she said this was not uncommon. She stated I may see it in account by the 24 of Feb. no later than March 13. I really just want to know what is going on. Anybody else in Louisiana received theirs?

[Trav45]

I’m able to view all my 2014 transcripts except the last one the wage and income transcript… is this normal?!? Anyone?

[Pikkin]

hey rachael,

i called and the rep said she could see everything regarding my expected refund and fees to be deducted. I asked her why I cannot see that info and she was at a loss also.

[Nicki]

Thank you Bart! I’m going to fax them the w-2 and pay stubs Wednesday.

[Dave]

Hey Bart, I called the irs this morning and it took a while for them to find my return. I waited a week after calling them and today she said it is out of correction error but there are two stages left. Please tell me it’s refund approved and refund sent. She said there is a code where they might send a letter if needed. Filed on the 20th I’m hoping I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel. What other stages could there be after correction error?

[Anonymous]

Thanks again. I noticed you told someone else with a 1121 that their wages might be under review due to a blank wage transcript. I didn’t put the additional 400 in my taxable income since I completely forgot about it. So not only did I not provide a w2 I didn’t include the amount in my income I wish they would tell me what’s wrong so I can fix it grrr. Also the ta I spoke to would not even look into my account since I didn’t have a real reason to according to her. Any advice on how to get them to look into it account. She said it’s because I’m under review and need to wait. Have you known anyone in the same situation and received their return yet

[Starrk]

They will send you a paper check. I see that some people have had their refund mailed out a few days after the rejection date, but you may be in the same boat I am. For whatever reason, my bank rejected the DD due to some information being incorrect. I know for a fact that I entered all the information correctly, but we are beyond that now. I spoke with a nice lady from the IRS who explained to me that I got the 971 code due to some information being entered incorrectly and not matching, my direct deposit being rejected and that it was going to be reviewed and that I should allow 10 weeks from the notice they will send out (won’t be sent out until 3/2) for them to send anything after the review. Hopefully it won’t take that long, but I’m not counting on it. It would be nice to have the money now, but I’m not depending on the money for anything really. Keep checking your transcript and WMR daily, they won’t be able to expedite it or anything like that.

[Bill]

Bart is the tax guru. He helped me out so much that im sending him a care package for helping me out. !!! He is the man

[Erica]

I filed our taxes on 1/27, and was accepted on the same day. Stayed on recieved for 2 days then went to “processing tax return”. Stayed there for about 2 wks. Wen to request transcript and I was told to contact the IPSU. Called and was told to re-send my tax return that I filed online, because it was reset in the system. Has anyone else had to do this? If so, how long did it take you to get your taxes back afterwards?

[BartD]

chatami reviews can be random and i know ur upset but realize that they just thought something was odd about your return and are looking at it. this happens all the time even if you have a ddd…. the other w2 is not the reason… your going to have to wait and see what they want

corndog wait it out the only thing is i would call and make sure ur not in the id verify department other than that you should be fine

tya oh jesus call a TA right away and explain you situation.. expect this to take a while. please also get ready for the letter and send in proof of the 782.00 a month and also a letter explaining what happen…

nicki as long as ur income is the same as you are claiming and same as the taxes taken out u will be fine. yes turbo tax might have something to do with it and might be the higher deductions but if your telling the truth and have everything all you have to do is send it and they will release it

buck TA = lie and u can have a true hardship

leeh144 no it takes about 45 days as long as u have everything they want when they do ask for it

levi no you can not efile past returns thats impossible… and it can take up to 8 plus weeks to get both refunds or what ever is owed to you

alex yes they have to approve the return before giving you the money no higher chances unless u owe them

carlos it could be true hard to tell… sounds a LITTLE FICTION to me because they would have froze both return that claimed your daughter and required proof on where she lives.

[AngelOfGOD]

i also have CYCLE POSTED: 20150701 and on the” Wheres my Refund” i got approved for the 20th this friday,,,,i also got the code 846 says by march something but my refund date is this friday so lets see what happens

[ronisha]

Got my refund 2/17. Mail date 2/13

[Anonymous]

Nope. I called again today and still nothing. That I need to wait the 60 days and my return is under review.

[Davis]

My dd is the 19th going to my net spend card has anybody gotten thiers early?

[Anonymous]

Thanks so much for all of your advice. I greatly appreciate it. Unfortunately, when I called the verify dept they transferred me to the main line and a new irs rep basically told me the previous rep was wrong. that my refund is under review to manually review and check for accuracy. Can take up to 60 days and that’s all he told me. I’m super frustrated. I wasn’t pleasant towards they end so hopefully he didn’t make a bad note but he has not helpful nor nicE. Have you heard of this issue beforE where they manually chose and review your refund even though you had a DDD at one poinT. If my missing w2 isn’t effecting it’s frustrating there’s not much I can do untIL April womp womp

[Crystal]

My 971/570 code was lifted on Friday and I got a 571 action complete and 846 refund issued code that day as well. I never got a letter in the mail, didn’t do anything on my part to “complete the action” but instead of a dd like I reuqested, I’m getting a paper check mailed to me by feb 23. I tried to be patient but couldn’t and called every day for 3 days and just lied about when they accepted my tax return so I could talk to someone.

[Anonymous]

I have a debt; thus, an offset. I still have a DDD 2/19 and a message on WMR that simply says part of my refund was used to satisfy the debt. Filed and accepted 02/06; approved 02/14 with ddd 02/19…. I never pulled transcripts because I didn’t want to panic.

[Jerry]

It was within a day or 2 of it being rejected to showing updated. I had a mail date of 2-13 and got my check in the mail today.

[Laudiamot]

I filed mid-day on 2/10 and was accepted within the hour. I checked WMR the following day and it said that it was accepted and had the 152 code at the bottom about refunds. There has been no movement since then. While I realize it’s only been a week, I felt like things were moving slowly. I felt like I have had more information in the past at this point. When checking emails, I was correct. Last year, I had full refund in the bank in 7 days. The year before, I had the refund in 8 days, but was notified by SBBT several days prior. I’m just wondering what the hold-up is. Nothing funky about my return, either. Two income household, two children, but no child care deductions. Just bums me out that it feels that it’s taking so long.

[Anonymous]

@Cole Thanks Cole you’ve been a lot of help

[Candyb]

Bumped just waiting on an update

[Janice]

Received check today rejected the 4th updated transcripts on the 6th updated wmr on the 7th

[tara g]

I also filed on the 4th, transcripts are blank and wmr gives the same thing , my sister filed after me and get her refund last fri

[Corndog]

Hey Bart,
I filed and was accepted on 1/27/15. lost bar this Saturday. account transcript says no return filed with a date as of 2/16/15. I did have health insurance through marketplace and a schedule c and wife had an education credit. I also moved in September 2014. should I be worried? or just wait it out?

[cole]

Vic
I use a credit union so I know that they release funds as soon as they arrive but they only do them once a day in the morning (8am I believe)

[Toni]

I had to file form 8862 but idk why. I filed on 2/11 and got accepted the same day but now it’s still sitting on bar one but I haven’t gotten taxes back for the past 2 years so why would I have to use this form and will it delay my refund

[Danette Harris]

I got my letter today and it doesn’t say any reason why they are “reviewing” my refund and the date will be April 9th that it will be resolved. Nothing but crap. I did get forwarded to a tax advocate though, but I was at work and missed the call so I have to call the hotline tomorrow. Hopefully I will get somebody.

[chevonne campbell]

I checked the WMR website today and it’s still saying that my refund was deposited into my account. How long does it take for the bars to go back down to refund accepted and for them to give a mail date?

[Danii]

Sam,

My bank rejected the return on 1/31 and I have been waiting. I have the codes 841- cancelled return 570- under review and now 971-notice sent but I have not received a letter. I still have no clue what is going on.

[Tya]

Bart,
We filed our return 1/20 finally got the 1095A situated, I checked our transcript it’s as follows
150
806
766
766
810
811
971
570
The issue is when irs input our 1095a it should have been $782.20 per month and they imputed $78,220.00 per month so it’s showing we are due $68,000 I called and they said they didn’t know how to fix it. What do we do

[Andy]

Filed 2/4.. still one bar in wmr /no transcrpts available

[Mindy]

I’m from Utah and wondering if anyone has received or heard anything for state returns. Expecting mine through dd

[Semper Fidelis]

Idaho finished our returns 1/30/2015. Haven’t seen any deposits in our account pending. We received Federal pretty quick. Any Idahoan’s get their’s yet?

[Janice]

Imh – I GOT MY CHECK TODAY! Mail date 2-13.

Breathe!

[rena]

So I filed with H&r on the 14th Jan, accepted 22nd. Had bars saying accepted and lost them . Now I get refound prossesing will contact you when it’s ready. I contact h&r they see in its bank (or their bank) but it’s not (suppose to be direct deposited) contacting irs and they know nothing . Irs and then i cant get a hold of them again , i dintnknow what to do or who to call . i

[Rachael]

Hey there. I rec’d the same message and cannot find any definitive answers. Some suggest it is just a website glitch and others claim that when they called they ended up having to FAX a bunch of stuff to confirm their identity (Drivers License, SSN, etc).

I just want to check the status of my refund because the IRS site has had me stuck on the second bar for weeks now. I’m reluctant to call because I don’t want to trigger some red flag that will require me to FAX anything which might delay my refund further.

SO, I am anxiously awaiting replies to YOUR question in hopes that someone might respond who can tell us what the message means and whether or not we should worry.

Thanks!

[rena]

So filed wi

[Sneege]

I didn’t have any fees taken out, so I haven’t checked SBBT.

[Smitty]

Everyone, ur $$$ will b deposited on ur DDDate…. The reason sum banks/prepaid cards show deposits anywhere from 1-3 days early’ is because the depositing bank (either IRS or a bank the IRS uses’ sends a ‘notice of direct deposit’ to EVERY bank 1-3 days b4 the actual DDDate…. MOST banks do NOT credit ur account immediately based on the ‘notice of DD’….. But sum banks/(example: USAA, Woodforest, Navy Credit Union, and many others idk about) r courteous and ‘float’ u the money immediately. If u have a bank that’s nice enough to float u the money early, you’ll notice that the flaot deposit will ALWAYS show pending until the actual direct deposit date. ALL U.S. banks send these DD notices anywhere from 1-3 business days early. In order for deposits to smoothly take place on the DDDate, the banks must communicate 1-3 days b4 the deposit. There r a lot of reasons y they do this but I’m not getting into that. I know this because I was a manager in the ACH department for a local bank for 4 years. I am well versed on this whole, what everyone calls, “getting my DD early”. Well, technically, there r no early DD’s. When the depositing bank sends the DDD notice, it’s simply a notice (think of it as an email from bank to bank stating ‘your’ account will b receiving X amount of dollars on X date.. . the money physically does not get sent any earlier than 12 hours 1 business day b4 12 a.m. on the scheduled DDD. Now most ACH departments r given specific instructions NOT to ever explain this because everyone would call the up and ask y the freak that bank won’t just post/float the deposit since the depositing bank has just told their bank that they r sending $$ to ur account on a given day…. Now I really hate banks that do not post/float the money when they get the DDD notice…. Think about it, a DDD notice from one bank to another is a GUARANTEE that money will b n ur account soon…. And this is the reason those few banks out there post/float the money as soon as they get the DDD notice… And the majority of banks that refuse to do so do under the premis they physically have not received the money (which us true) but its BS!!!!!
I think I’ve explained this this issue good enough and honestly, out of all these forums, I haven’t seen anyone come close to the actual BANKING TRUTH so I had to chime in w the truth because it is hard for me to sit here and listen to everyone tell everyone else when they r getting their deposits…. Lol!!!

Questions?!?;?

[krystalann]

Nothing in Alabama. I kind of expect that though. I never get state until a few months afterwards.

[Nicki]

Hi Bart,
My question is this I’ve just recently been told by calling my state taxation Department (VA) that they are holding my state refund until I give copies of my W-2 /1099 for this filing year and also my last pay stub of 2014. they said they want to view my withholding ? they’re saying I was selected for random review because of all the fraud that has been going on and it’s not uncommon for this to happen & that I’d be receiving a letter but I can also fax this information/mail. Is this an audit ?

they guy I spoke with also stated that it could have something to do with the TurboTax as I filed right in the height of the hacking and stuff going on . I don’t know but this has never happened to me.

I guess my question is why would they be asking me for this information I do have the information and I intend on giving it to them . I guess I’m just worried because I’ve had more deductions and a higher refund than previously .

Thanks for your help

[Pink]

I got my Illinois federal refund in two weeks. The state was pending because of the exemption I filed for the new healthcare law. They accepted it on 02/03 and I’m still waiting. The website says 21 days for efilers to process.

[Mary]

I filed and received the accepted notice on 1/31

Just spoke with a rep today, he told me that they didn’t accept my return until 2/12!
Which funny enough was the day after that TT had given me for a DD date as well.

Ugh. They’re just taking forever this year!

[Anonymous]

I have the exact same situation as Lee. Just got the letter in the mail. Really need the refund to pay off some bills, but I don’t have a “true” hardship for the advocate.

[Anonymous]

@Cole I’m still sitting at 2 bars also. I just got off the phone with the irs they said it is due to be dd on the 19th. I wonder if they just looked at the wmr. I wonder how late they do deposits

[brandi]

Mine has been a pending deposit since Friday…. I guess cus of holiday..they pushed back deposits to a Thursday?!
My WMR does NOT say sent either

[Lynn]

Giving myself ulcer….Filed / accepted 2/5. One bar on WMR with tax topic 152, which is odd bc I know I have an offset. So get this….field state and fed same day, got a letter that my state return had been processed and $ taken (expected) dated the 10th???? That was only 2 working days! So I got really excited thinking I may get Fed in a timely manner. Well still sitting on one bar, I pulled transcripts and have a 570 and 971 code but no code for offset – could the 570 be the offset? I am literally freaking out. My cycle date is 20150605 and I read that if I add 4 days to that, that will be my DD date. Then i read that you can’t go by transcripts you have to go by WMR. So confused. Now I worry something wrong w/ return and I REALLY need it this year, like need it for gas to get to work! LOL :) Anyway have all kinds of codes and dates but I remember when I filed 2013 that I got a letter dated 3 weeks in the future (wow- fed gov has time machine! ) so I just don’t know. I feel like a blonde….(no offense, just trying to make light of very stressful situation for us all).

152 return filed cycle date 20150605 3-2-15 $0.00
806 W-2 4-15-15 $xxx.xx
766 Credit to your account 4-15-15 $xxx.xx
768 Earned Income Credit 4-15-15 $xxx.xx
570 Account Action Pending 3-2-15 $0.00
971 Notice Mailed 3-2-15 $0.00

but noting on my offset. Now I almost wish I had not looked at transcript bc now I am freaking like I am under review or something…..ugghhhhh I am going to have a ulcer by the time this is done….. Any feedback welcome :)

[Anonymous]

Just got the exact same notice in the mail. Dated for the 23. They shouldn’t be able to post date notices to extend their timeline.

[JJDsMom]

@Sneege: does SBBT show they have received your funds ?

[Gene Taxpayer]

You will get it on your DDD if it says 2/19 then it will likely be on that date. I got whipped by thress mexicans

[cuznred]

No. Nothing :(

[Elizabeth Cruz]

I meant ref code 9001

[JJDsMom]

my WMR also does not say sent nor does SBBT say they have received my funds ;0(

[David]

I have a DD 2/19/14. Its not showing sent and not in my bank account. Will it deposit in my account tomorrow then if they send it today?

[Elizabeth Cruz]

I called about a week ago or longer to verify my Id and I still have yet to know where’s my refund. I’m still getting the same reference code 900. Can someone help me please 4847520433 is my cell# thank you

[cole]

@vic My wmr is still at only 2 bars

[Ashley]

Thank you sneege they must have just not updated it. But sbbt also hasn’t received. Bummer. :(

[Anonymous]

Hi Bart,

I need some help. I filed my return on 1/20/15 and received an email stating it was accepted on 1/21/15. I originally had accepted on WMR but it later updated to Processing w/ the 21 day message and tax topic 152. Eventually the bars went away. I can view all 4 transcripts. I have a 570 & 971 code on my transcripts. I received a CP05 letter on Saturday stating I was under review but no information was needed. It said it could take until 4/9/15 to be resolved. Does it normally take that long? Is there anything I can do on my end?

[Anonymous]

@Cole Did your WMR say sent?

[cs]

Thanks cole,

I’ve been looking at old message boards about problems with SBBT in the past.

Bummer

[cole]

I got my deposit today, I had a ddd of 2/19. I paid my fees myself Bc last year I went through that sbbt and they did my deposit on the actual ddd so I didn’t receive my refund in my bank account until the next business day.

[Sneege]

Mine doesn’t say sent, but it is pending in my bank account for 2/19.

[Levi]

Bart,

Just got off the phone with the Irs. The holdup on my return for 2014 is I didn’t file my 2013 return. Was going through a divorce at the time thought she filed it blah blah blah. My question is once I send in my 2013 how long will it take for me to get my 2014? Person on phone said my full amount was processed but on hold waiting for 13 return. He also mentioned it would go faster if my return for 13 was filed electronically.

When should I expect 14 to be released from the day I send in my 13 and do you know where online i could prepare and send 13 electronically?

Thank you! Levi.

[Rosalyn]

i got ddd of 2/20. Transcript cycle date 20150604. Nothing in my account. I called bank nothing pending or rejected.

[kelsey]

A lot of people have gotten the today tho….

[Waiting in Seattle]

Gov. is closed today. Probably happen as soon as they open back up.

[Waiting in Seattle]

With governmental closings today, I would not be surprised if it actually came on the 19th, or the day after. Someone’s got to be in the office to actually press OK on the deposits, I assume.

[Anonymous]

I’ve heard of people just repeatedly mashing the * or # and it connecting to a person that will connect you to any department.

I know from automated experience that to go to a human usually you can push zero, star or pound to get a human. *usually*. Being the key word.

I’m too scared to try and call though, so I don’t have first hand experience.

Good luck!

[lily]

Some people have gotten this code ad they have called to verify identity but I called and they didnt ask me to do anything, when see my transcripts I see that they have not input any information so its blank for now!

[carlos]

?,filed 2/3/15 accepted same day lost bars couple days later my tax preparer told me today someone tried to cliam my.daugjter after me and it held it up i would get a dre in a couple days is there any truth

[lily]

I called today and they told me my return was fine and that they dont see any letters. That its look ok but that am going to have to wait 6_8 weeks processing time. Code 9001 is crap, its just a way of delaying the tax refunds!

[Alex]

Thank you for the info! Follow up questions – Do they have to fully accept and approve my 2011 return before releasing my 2014, even if it’s showing I’m due a refund instead of owing? Is there a higher chance of audits/problems when sending in a prior year tax return.

Thanks again for your time!
