Hello All: It looks like the IRS is moving rather swiftly this year. I filed 1/30 at around noon and was accepted around 5:00 pm the same day. WMR status bar says “return received”…
I think we may get deposits in about 7 days! *fingers crossed for all of us*

[PM]

another.. they all say the same thing pretty much. This was also a reason for the delay last year too

Hi, I filed on the 28th. accepted the 30th. I have a DD of 2/4 on today.. Hope this helps someone!

[Kristina(253)]

I am locked out of WMR lol What a shock! Happens to me every year, don’t think I’ll ever get back in as I keep checking every 15 mins.

UTAH Mine are MIA too. I was accepted about the same time as you. IRS didn’t give me any information when I call after it was saying it could not locate or I input wrong information (this was after it was already accepted), then later yesterday evening it was back up and working still at the processing level. This morning it was still processing and I checked mine after reading your statement and it is lost again. Let’s just hope that next time it work it has a DD.

I did read an article today on how they are delaying some to make sure there is no identity theft and it should only delay those that they take an extra close look at by a day or two. This would make sense on mine anyhow. This year I get to claim my daughter and grand kids (who she claimed and filed alone last year). Then one of my grandkids was just born this year (and he is disabled).. so I think I may have meet the “red flag” requirements to cause an extra eyeball on my return. Not sure what your situation is, but from what I hear and see the ones that are going through pretty quick don’t are single 1040EZ filers that have filed in the past and have not other dependents, no EIC, etc. So they are very simple returns.

Serena, the IRS was suppose to start processing ON the 17th, so people filed earlier than that. Then the IRS was delayed and gave 30th date. I think they pushed the date out to give them so screw up room. Anyhow, they started accepting some returns on the 23, a week earlier than what they said they would.

[serena]

I thought the IRS wasn’t accepting returns until 1/30/13. How is or that so many people filed before that date. I am confused. I just did mine today and they were accepted today.

[whitneyf]

Well I’m glad I’m not the only one then. I was freaking out thinking something was wrong with my return. Just curious anyone tried to order transcripts yet? I couldn’t.

[Anonymous]

Yay for you!! I hope mine DD’s soon.

[Anxiously waiting]

I am a 26’er I am still in the processing stage. I had really hope to have DD this morning. Bummer

[Shawn]

Filed on the 24th. No special forms, just child tax credit and EIC. Accepted 1-30 @ about 1pm. WMR says “processing”

[Kristina(253)]

Ok so obviously no DD’s for us 1/30’s. I don’t have this morning. Will check back later.

[Anonymous]

I filed 1/15 with TT and got accepted 1/25. I checked WMR yesterday morning and it said 2/1 my refund was going to the bank. Then checked again in the afternoon and it said it couldn’t find my information. I was bummed. I just checked again today and it’s showing my refund going to the bank on 2/1 and says it should be in my account by 2/6. I not gonna check again today because I don’t want to jinx it. And they only update once a day anyway.

[Anonymous]

Same here, Filed 1/29 and was accepted 1/30 WMR says the generic processing your return with 21 day message for me also. I have the status bar at the top. Just hoping it doesn’t take the full 21 days, but in past years it was always faster than the quoted time I was given, hopefully it’s the same case this year. Will update if I just so happen to get a DD

[Utah]

Has anyone had better luck today? I’m really starting to panic! I filed 1/10 Married/joint with four children and no education form, accepted 1/24 11:53pm. I was in process all day yesterday. Today WMR tells me I’m putting in wrong info, 800# says processing, and IRS representative said “we just started processing yesterday, check WMR for up to date information.” I can’t order transcripts either.

[cupcake]

It was in a comment on their fb page! I am hoping it isn’t the case!

[PM]

What filing status etc did all of you that are receiving DD dates do? Single, Married, Head of Household. etc? Any dependents?

[Shan]

I filed yesterday and was accepted a few hours later. No DD yet, have the IRS processing bar. Was told by TT it could take up to a week for my refund to be approved by the IRS and once it is I would have a DD date.

[PM]

Oh No Cupcake, that happened to me last year. I was a lucky one to go through the system test run and the unlucky one to still be in the system when it crashed. It took 2 months before I got my refund. Was that recent blog on TurboTax (hoping it was from last year).

Mine still didn’t update either and my daughter who filed on 1/19 still hasn’t even been accepted yet.

[Dannie]

Mine was accepted 1/29/13 and still says processing. Sooooo hoping it gets DD on 2/4 or 2/5 that’d be SAWEEEET Good luck everyone

[brokencgirl]

HI club 28’rs I filed with tax act on the 24th (afternoon), got accepted around 3:00 pm on the 28th. Still getting processing blah, blah, blah, 21 days, and more blah.. last year all over again. BTW payed my fee upfront for my state return, used free federal and it’s going straight from IRS to BOA

[Anonymous]

On the TT facebook someone said they were accepted 1/28 and has a DD of 2/5

[TaxPayer]

Filed: 1/25
Accepted: 1/27
WMR shows Refund Approved: 1/31
DD: 2/4
Filed Through? Tax Act
Fees paid through Republic Bank. They are not showing as of 1/31.

Frankly, I’m impressed with how smoothly the IRS is processing this year. Last year was a nightmare for all involved.

[Anonymous]

I cant get on WMR, like I must be locked out :( and when I call the 800# it tells methe same thing that they received it and still processing :(

[Anonymous]

And now it’s busted again. It shows my info is incorrect. You would think by now they would have the bugs squashed.

[cupcake]

Filed with Taxslayer on 1/15
Accepted 1/24 (mid afternoon)
Paid fees upfront
WMR still giving me the 21 day message. I just read somewhere that the IRS system crashed yesterday and that may cause some refunds to be delayed until early April. I read that on Turbo Tax, one of the reps said it.

[IRSStalker2012]

accepted on 1/28. WMR shows that it is processing and that I should see it within 21 days. Same info when I call the hotline

[stillwaiting]

I’m a 28er and my status is still showing “will receive refund in 21 days” hopefully will see a DD tomorrow

[Brandy]

Filed yesterday 1/30 with H&R Block at home. Got email this morning the return was accepted by the IRS. IRS website says processing.

[Jessica]

Wmr didn’t update for me over night.

[Anonymous]

Filed and accepted 1/30. WMR shows processing with 21 day message. Hopefully I’ll see an update in the next day or two.

[Amanda]

I filed through HR BLOCK online and was accepted on 1/30. I checked the WMR and it says still processing but I do not have that status bar that so many people have when I check mine. Anyone have a clue why? I am hoping that since there is not a status bar that means that they have not updated the system today…

[whitneyf]

Filed 1/12 with HRB Online. Accepted 1/30 at 10am CST. Still processing. UGH!!!! WTH?!

[k.michelle]

I got accepted on the 25th and mine still shows processing. I borrowed some money from my mother and I need to pay her back soon. She needs her money for her medicine. I thought it would be here by now. Damn

[Theresa]

Filed 1/25, accepted 1/27. Just received the following on WMR:
Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank on February 4, 2013.
If your refund is not credited to your account by February 9, 2013, check with your bank to see if it has been received.

[macNcheese]

I filed on 1//27 and was received on 1/28. WMR still says that it is processing and that I should see it within 21 days.

[Misti]

Im thinking we will see a deposit on 2/5 maybe 2/4.. It seems to be sort of following a pattern. Most returns accepted on 23 24 and 25 are getting 2/1 deposits 26 27 28 is getting 2/4 so maybe some 29 will get 2/5 possible 2/4

[Verucalise]

Accepted 1/25, still processing here too. Just a W-2, claimed children, (one dependent is new, born March ’12) but that’s the biggest change. Same ole EIC, child tax credits. 4th year in a row we’ve been held up for no darn good reason. I’m really getting pissed off reading people accepted on 1/30 getting their DD dates already- I mean, I’m glad for them, but pissed off because ours has been in their system for 5 additional days with no apparent movement!?

We have 5 kids, we could really use this right about now. It’s bad enough waiting almost 2 years now for the VA to approve my husband’s disability claim.

Thanks, US government.

[zo1633]

sorry meant the 29th

[zo1633]

there is no way if you filed on the 3+th you will get it on the first sorry

[aaron]

accepted on the 27th and still have 21 days in process message. i hope it changes tomorrow morning when i check. I would assume it will and should get a 2/4 or 2/6 date.

[IN Lurker]

Filed 26th accepted 27th Wmr updated this AM CD 2/4. Now Im worried the Netspend card won’t come before the deposit! Never expected that to be a problem!!! Turbo Tax

[Anonymous]

I filed 1/26 with TT online was accepted 1/28 I checked the wmr and hotline this morning 1/31 still processing and it also say within 21 days.I have noticed not many 1/28ers so I am glad I am not alone.

[Summer]

I filed on Jan 23rd was accepted 1/26 and my WMR says processing. As of now my husband and I have No offsets.

[kelhelmset]

WMR has a DD for 4 February. Anyone else? Nothing showing with USAA but they don’t usually show any DD until 7 am of the day of deposit.

[frikfrac]

I think this is a bunch of total bull.Why would it take them 2more weeks to fix this problem?Personally I think it’s all a excuse to bigger refunds back and push all of the quicker easier refunds through first that are also smaller in check size like my 2 sons 1040ez’s for example so they can get more interest on the money they do have in the bank.Makes no sence it would take so long.There going to have to shut this system down to fix it you would think???

[Cat]

Got a confirmation that my refund was accepted by IRS 1/30. Where’s my refund stats read: your federal return was accepted expect a refund within 21 days. Came back next day status reads -we are still processing your return. Then it gives me some reading literature on tax topic. I did not receive the newly implemented tax status bar either the second time.

[Kristina(253)]

I was rejected this morning due to wrong PIN numbers… Lame! Anyone refilled and still stuck on processing. Will check in the a.m and keep y’all posted

[Ann]

Submitted 1/26. Accepted 1/27. Notified 1/28. 1/30 WMR stated received and processing. 1/31 WMR states refund approved scheduled for DD 2/4!

[2013taxpayer]

i filed on 1/28th around midnight and was accepted the same day at 11am. on both wmr & hotline says that my return has been received and it is being processed. it also tells me that i will receive my refund within 21 days.

[BS]

[jayj88]

[PM]

No status change?

[Anonymous]

I was accepted 1/23 I filed the 7th on Taxact I have found no info on a dd has anyone got any info at all?

[Anonymous]

Eastern

[Jessica]

I’m in the exact same boat.

[Kristina(253)]

http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b485/Kristina_Reading/refund_zpsc9f628c8.jpg

This is what my WMR looks like tonight. I will quit checking it after midnight my time (PST). :D

[Usmc_wife86]

Files on 1/11 tt accepted 1/24 at 10:38 pm pst married filing jointly one w2 eic child tax credit for our two kiddos. Only thing different from last year is our second child. I’ve checked the WMR site 800# irs2go and it all processing should receive in 21 days blah blah my return per irs has not been flagged or anything like that. I have no idea why people who filed and were accepted after me already have dd dates although I am happy for them jut would looove to see one for myself! Lol

[Lisa O]

Filed 1/22, accepted 1/24, used TT, claimed education credit, WMR showing accepted and processing.

[Kristina(253)]

I know this may be jumping the gun as we were just accepted today. I have filed through H&R Block and do not have a DD as of yet.

[Anonymous]

I was accepted on 1/27/13 although wasnt notified until 1/28/13. I filed through taxact..anyone have a dd yet if accepted on the 27th?

[PM]

OH… and did it got to “approved” or the final one

[Book]

Is anyone else annoyed with the fact that they got accepted on a date and have no refund date yet those who filed after you, same situation as you, nothing complicated, have a refund date?

Mine was accepted on the 24th and it is just showing accepted. Blah.

[PM]

Matt, what time zone are you in and what type of form was yours on?

[PM]

What time zone are you in Compwiz? I think that makes a difference too.

[Anonymous]

I was accepted 25th and saw someone else post they were accepted 27th and got a DD showing 2/1 already, but I still now only get either invalid info or that the site is down.

[Anonymous]

Darn I was accepted the 25th, and have seen a few say 2/1, but mine only said was being processed, then it showed my info as being invalid since or that WMR was down. I agree 2/1 would be very cool.

[HatesWaiting]

Filed with TaxAct on 1/24. Return accepted by IRS on 28th around 3pm. WMR says processing/received (the first status bar filled). I am having my fees deducted from return then DD in BoA. Hotline says same as WMR. Hoping for more information in the AM!

[PM]

I called the IRS just to make sure I wasn’t flagged since this year I got to add my adult daughter and 2 grandkids to my return (I got the pleasure of supporting them ALL year). The IRS guy would NOT check my status and told me to call back in 21 days from the date I got the acceptance acknowledgement. He then transferred me to the law help (thank goodness I was allowed to claim them), but he didn’t offer to check either. I went back to WMR and it is back to processing. :) Wheeeeeew. HOPEFULLY, something positive happens with either the status or my bank account tonight.

BTW, my return was me and 3 dependents. I don’t get EIC (which I heard can delay some tax since they have to verify more). I filed Head of Household, which I have for years. I still paid WAY more Federal taxes than what I am getting back, but still happy that I don’t have to pay more.

I’ve read some post where people were bragging they got their refunds today. I find it hard to believe that the first thing they did after getting a refund was to jump on the computer and search for a where’s my refund site, just so they can blog that they got one. For the life of me I can’t figure out why someone gets pleasure out of lying about it… when they do “really” get their refund they should consider spending it on therapy.

Well, good luck to all and may we all wake up blessed with some money in the bank or at least our refund status updated to show a DD date.

If you are once accepted, then it says it cannot find – deep breath – it will come back.. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW.

[JustMe]

Obviously the 28th wasn’t a popular day. I filed the 27th, was accepted about 11 am (PST) the 28th. I checked WMR earlier today, the status bar only says received. I haven’t called the hotline, my check is to be deposited into my checking account that updates throughout the day.

[Matt Arnold]

Same thing happened to me. Before it was showing my return had been received and was being processed. A few minutes ago it showed my info was incorrect. I hope it’s passing to the refund approved phase like was mentioned also. I hope my date is 2/1 :D

[Anonymous]

same, accepted on 24, self-employed, eic and child tax credit, no dd

[MrsGordon]

I really hope we hear new news tomorrow! I’m done with this waiting game.

[The Best Ever]

hang in there guys, i got word that the system may be ready to process us on Feb 11
