I filed 1/03 with TT. Return transmitted 1/06. Accepted 1/18…and here I sit, still waiting. Simple return with two 1099-R and standard deductions. Exactly the same return for the last 8 years since I retired.

It looks like today is the last shutdown day (for a few weeks anyway):

Is it just my posts that are being moderated?

I filed 1/11 and was accepted 1/14 using TaxACT. Mine is a VERY simple return: Single, two 1099Rs, and standard deductions. No changes from 15 prior years other than a very slight increase in my pension. A couple of days after acceptance I got the 9001 Code reference message. It’s now been 11 days and I still have the 9001 message on my status page. I see a lot of others now have updated pages showing at least one bar while others have two bars and a ddd.

[Debbie T]

Thanks for that @Jibbbjawww. My dd did hit on Friday last year. I hate trying to look at my transcripts because they always have a problem matching my cell phone number with my carrier(wth does that even mean?) and they have to snail-mail them to me which takes 5-10 days (which is what I had to have done with this return and still haven’t gotten them). If you are a ‘weekly’ I must be a ‘monthy’. My credit union is one of the really great ones that releases direct deposits as soon as they get the electronic file instead of holding them until the official dispersal date (my pension dd is in my account 2-3 days before the official paydate). Crossing fingers for both of us…

[Debbie T]

I’m beginning to think I will see an email from my bank that an ‘eAlert!’ was triggered by the direct deposit of my refund before I’ll ever see the status change on WMR page!

[Debbie T]

@trista

Trust me, I had already determined that that was my last volley. I prefer banging my head against a brick wall over trying to reason with someone determined to proclaim themselves an authority.

Thank you though!

[Debbie T]

I tried ordering transcripts online and entered all information but then they claimed they couldn’t verify my cell phone with carrier(wth?) so they are mailing my transcripts and they should arrive in 5-10 days…

[Debbie T]

Drizzy, please take a remedial reading comprehension class. The circumstances described (you filed a tax return that had multiple Social Security numbers attached to it) do NOT apply to me since I have only one SSN on my return.

[Debbie T]

ALSO:

“What You Need To Do
If you get IRS Code 9001 when you login, in most cases you need to do nothing. In fact, unless you have a really good reason to call the IRS, don’t.

First, the IRS is swamped with calls right now, and you could spend hours on the phone for nothing.

Second, if the IRS has a problem with your return, they will send you a letter describing the issue and the next steps. For most situations, you cannot resolve it over the phone with the IRS because of potential identity theft issues.

If you are getting this code and you are 100% positive that you are using the primary SSN, then you should consider calling the IRS or going into your local office. That is the only sign of potential identity theft that we’ve seen from IRS Reference Number 9001.”

[Debbie T]

Drizzy, it is not a ‘fact,’ it is your opinion, theory, supposition… So, don’t get snarky with your comment ‘people do also know how to google right :/’ Of course we do. And what I found about 9001 code:

“What IRS Code 9001 Really Means
The actual code tells you exactly what it means – you filed a tax return that had multiple Social Security numbers attached to it. Typically, this is a husband and wife, but it could also include children as well (you never know, adult dependents may be checking the status of the refund). When you file your tax return, you have to specify a primary taxpayer, and the spouse or children all are secondary.

If you login to Where’s My Refund or on the IRS App and try to use the secondary Social Security number, you’re going to get this error message.”

says this situation doesn’t apply to me (single filer, single SSN used) or a lot of others, such as @heyyymeghan

We come on here looking for answers. To see if others are in the same boat and if that boat is heading over the falls or not. I see too many people stating their opinions as facts. I don’t care if you work for God Himself, if you can’t prove your theory with a link to your source of knowledge, please preface your guess with, “I think” instead of stating you work for some nameless tax company as though that’s all the proof you need.

[Debbie T]

Drizzy, please stop posting that as though it’s a fact. If that were the case, don’t you think it’d be all over the news? It could easily be either a glitch in the IRS system or a place-holder for some other reason.

[Debbie T]

Drizzy, I’m with @monee on this, I seriously don’t think there were suddenly thousands of ssn’s that have been already used. My return was initially accepted (as were the majority of others on this forum) before suddenly getting the typical ‘one bar’ page replaced with the 9001 reference page. According to the IRS, our returns were checked for ssn/tin, filing status, address, and W2/1099(etc) info before being accepted.

[Debbie T]

Kathryn Robinson, you filed on the 19th but what date was your return accepted?

[Debbie T]

I was accepted on the 14th. Could that 9001 message on all the returns that were accepted on Jan. 14-17th mean we are possibly in the test batch for that week?

[Debbie T]

Rhonekia, I don’t believe so…I filed on the 11th and only checked the mornings of the 12th, 13th, and 14th. On the 14th, my return had been accepted and I had one bar. The next morning (15th) I had the 9001 message. I have checked too often in past years and I got a very simple statement that said I had checked too often. Also, this explanation of the 9001 message talks about using the wrong SSN or TIN to access their refund status. I only have one SSN and have been filing returns for 52 years without ever a problem so I know I didn’t access my refund status using the wrong number.

[Debbie T]

Justwaiting, you talk about Chief Weasel’s ‘hate and rudeness’ and ‘idiotic hateful ways’ while you say:

“I know TT 152 means DD. I also know that’s all anyone under PATH saw until they started processing refunds the middle of February. (how do you know?)

Obviously there are a lot of new filers here and quite a few repeat filers with no common sense. *Also a lot of people who don’t pay in nearly as much as they’re getting back. You all shouldn’t be getting so worked up over free money that you didn’t earn to begin with*.”

Sounds like pot calling the kettle black here. Who are you to tell everyone to ‘relax’ or to tell ‘some repeat filers’ they have no common sense while you’re putting false information in your posts about PATHers, Tax Topic 152, and talking about ‘a lot of people who don’t pay in nearly as much as they’re getting back. You all shouldn’t be getting so worked up over free money that you didn’t earn to begin with.’ A LITTLE JUDGMENTAL, AREN’T YOU? You even chided me about my own post: “Debbie T, I’m referring to the Tax Topic 152 message that the OP posted. That’s tye (sic) typical message that Path Act filers receive until the hold is lifted.” even after I pointed out that I am NOT a PATHer.

Why don’t you stop pontificating and stop telling people to ‘relax’ when they are being faced with an unprecedented situation but no help to turn to? They come here to post their situation and try to get real answers, not your version of what they should or should not be feeling about it.
