My Ohio state got processed on the 19th

[Jen mc]

Sbbt is if u pay the fees out of refund…irs sends to sbbt and they send 2 us

[Scott]

I filed HRBlock on 1/19 – I was accepted today w/ the IRS. So it looks like around 48 hrs.

[Scott]

I sent my return on 1/19 via HRBlock – was accepted by the IRS after lunch today. No other update as of now

[Rozilyn]

it does not take any longer to get your money after an offset you would get your money in the same time you would have gotten it if you had not have had an offset

[Tatiana]

Ok So early filers If you filed before the 19th It was received but it didn’t not start processing until the 19th. Once they knew everything was running smoothly they stopped the system until them. Now this nice gentlemen told me he can’t say when they will start approving them due to recorded calls and what they are trained to tell us. But in other words he said just keep a look out for the next 4 business days.
Basically Fuck it till Next Week.

[Anonymous]

There is something seriously wrong with people who troll! Get a life!

[gtjibbb]

I filed TT …says Ohio received 1/19…status still pending. Anyone have any Ohio progress?

[Mshopeful]

I filed with Taxact on 1/19 accepted on 1/19 one bar on WMR state also processing

[Anonymous]

This thread is for Netspend users, to help other Netspend users with questions and answers about the process….

Good Luck guys!

[MamaAshley]

Filed 1/19, accepted 1/19, not approved yet and only one bar on WMR. SBBT shows no information yet.

[Anonymous]

I would definitely call the IRS! Hopefully they didn’t send it to the wrong person.

[B.]

Filed on Jan. 15. TurbotTax indicated received on Jan. 19. Just did CA FTB chat and the rep indicated that it takes up to 7 business days for the receipt of the tax return to “post.” Hope that helps.

[Anonymous]

I filed through TT on the 18th and was accepted on the 19th. WMR updated immediately. I also use Netspend for my returns since it’s a day or 2 sooner to see your refund.
TT says between January 20 and Feb 9 we should expect our refund. I hope this is right! Good luck everybody.

Anyone else here use NETSPEND?

[tswan20]

Santa Barbara Bank and Trust which is the bank that TurboTax uses

[tswan20]

My prediction is the system will update Wednesday morning 1/27. Let’s hope I’m right

[Tanna]

I filed on 1/19 with H&R Block, I was accepted today 1/21

[lugo]

Hey, Jen MC

What does Sbbt stand for? I don’t think I have seen that before.

[Andre Black]

Filed on the 16th. Accepted on the 19th around 10am. Still on one bar. Good luck to all!!

[Jkay]

I filed on the 1/19 and was accepted on 1/19. 1 bar on WMR.

[lisal]

we filed on 19th with HR also…got accepted today. we have ed credits ans home business credits

[Gennefur]

It actually updates every day or so they say : ) This year when I was received it showed up on WMR right away and last year it was at least a day. On the IRS web site it says:

Where’s My Refund? is available almost all of the time. However, our system is not available every Monday, early, from 12:00 am (Midnight) to 3:00 am Eastern Time.

https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/When-is-Where’s-My-Refund-Available%3F

is the link. Last year I got my refund before it went to bar 3 so I guess who knows this year. I am planning on by the 2/5 and if I get it before great. It is normally 10 days from going into the IRS to my account except for 2 years ago when the IRS tagged everyone for fraud and I was delayed 2 weeks behind the next batch.

[Sugar]

Does it tickle your fancy to lie (although you’re not very good at it) to people that KNOWS how this works?

[Sugar]

I filed on the 17th. I was accepted on the 19th. Just accepted, not approved yet.

[Cynthia]

Okay my question:
If they only update on “Wednesday” Then why was I accepted on 1/11/16 at 3:30 PM est and was able to see it on WMR site?

I hate waiting but oh well have no choice lol…..fingers crossed someone gets an update soon!!

[Jen mc]

filed 1/14/2016
Accepted 1/19

Sbbt says by 2/9

[sean]

Go to the state topics

[Rozilyn]

Anything is possible

[MsQuick]

I was accepted on 1/19 and have 1 bar, not approved as of yet.

[Trina]

I just watched this video and it says that they only update the WMR site on Wed so it looks like for those of us who are showing only one bar there will be no update till next week https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/General-Tax-Tips/Video–What-Days-of-the-Week-Does-the-IRS-Deposit-Tax-Refunds-/INF20323.html

[Anonymous]

Still not accepted for me…..filed 1/19 at 630am with hrblock online and nothing ugh.

[Scott]

Filed 1/14/2016 with tax act
Accepted same day as early filer test batch
One bar on where’s my refund.

If it’s works out the same as last year I filed 1/8/15 and was accepted 1/14/15 as early file test batch. Didn’t get any updates last year until 1/26/15 a Wednesday and was supposed to be issued 1/28/15 but received it two days early on that Wednesday 1/26/15 when it updated

[tswan20]

Hello all. This is the forum for all who were accepted 1/19/16 so we can update each other on our progress.

[Pam in MD]

Hello Mike, mine is doing the same exact thing. I was accepted 01/20 at 6:16 PM, but the MD site is not updated with my information. So I called and they said they can see it in their system. I dialed (410) 260-7701. Instead of pushing #1 and inputting your SSN, just wait on the line and someone will come through.

[Anonymous]

The SBBT site says mine will be deposited Feb 4th, mine was accepted the 14th. I have not counted days but think that’s about 21 days so it’s a generic guess. They always project later so people don’t blow up their phones if it doesn’t hit at midnight the projected day.

[Sunshine2000]

I filed with turbo tax. 1 w2 and a 1098-t filed. State of NC
Filed 1/21 @ 2:30pm Est
Accepted 1/21 @ 2:41pm est

Irs2go app already has me at one bar
Hoping the rest goes as smoothly!

[Josephine]

I check TPG and it shows the amount I’m receiving, and states this:

TPG has not received your federal tax refund.
Your expected IRS funding date is 2/9/2016. Check the status of your refund by visiting http://WWW.IRS.GOV/REFUNDS.
When we receive your refund, it will be processed according to your original instructions.

[Rozilyn]

Well the state of Michigan is not processing our state returns until January 29th which I normally get my State before I get anything, I don’t know whether to believe that person or not about the two bars but it’s not really that important, because I got a one year and only had one bar it never did go to approve it went from accepted to direct deposited

[Tinka]

I file with freetaxusa.com I’m self employed and had to file a schedule C. Been filing with them for over 5yrs never had a problem. I use them because I don’t have to pay a fee to file schedule C.

[k]

@Melissa- mine hasn’t been accepted yet either. I also filed with HRblock.

[Tasha]

MY information won’t show up on the sbbt site it’s saying it doesn’t have an account for me is that normal or not

[Tanna]

Update- I filed 1/19 with H&R Block, checked WMR at 1:00pm and I just got accepted. I’m not sure why this year it’s taken a couple days every other year I’ve filed before I left the office I’d already have an acceptance.

[Feefee]

Just checked on Santa Barbara tax products and the amount I am to receive does show up. This morning it would not allow me on the site do to updating. So it is getting close!

[Wesley]

Anyone get any info on their AZ state yet? I got accepted 2 days ago but my info isn’t on aztaxes.gov

[Hazel]

Filed with HR block 1/16 and entered wrong IP PIN. Return got rejected 1/19 and HR Block stated there’s a processing error and your return couldn’t be efiled. It did not give option to fix issue and refile. Have to Print and mail return. Contacted HR block and couldn’t get it fixed and refilled.

I filed with turbotax 1/20 and return accepted in few minutes!

[tswan20]

No one, regardless of when they accepted your return, began processing before the 19th. They test the efile system early with whatever returns are in the queue and that is what they have done for years.

[Bobyl]

Had the same problem, i filed on 01/18/2016, i called the 800 number and managed to get past the automated system. talked to a person that told me to wait, but just as soon as i hung up i got a text saying it had been accepted. they didn’t admit it but they did something to fix it.

[Trina]

We filled on the 8th and was accepted on the 12th. ON TT it says should be here between Jan 19th and Feb 8th. I just looked on WMR and it still is at one bar. :(

[Anonymous]

I filed 1/19 at 630 am through H&RBlock and my motherinlaw did hers at 7am same way-neither of us have been accepted yet. Anyone having an issue getting accepted? Dont know who I should call but i’m definitely not happy as it never takes more then a few hours in the past for it to be accepted.

[Jkay]

Franny- I had an offset last year, it took maybe a week longer to get my refund, that was it. It really wasn’t a big deal.

[Sean]

@byrdchem & @susan

I’m getting the same message:

“We do not have a record of your 2015 California Income Tax return in our files.”

Accepted on 1/19. Can’t check anything online because they have to mail the pin number for any FTB account.

I’ll update when there is any change.

[Jennifer]

@jasmine if we were accepted before the 19th shouldn’t we already see a second bar tho??? I got accepted on the 11th and I’m still at one bar!!! Give me some relief please

[Around2k]

As of last night, WMR shows 1 Bar and our return is accepted!

[Kaylee]

I had an offset 3 years ago. It didn’t delay my refund at all and I got it 2 weeks after I filed. They just processed it, took out what I owed and sent me the rest. I’m sure I have another offset this year but it’s only about $100 or so.

[Holly]

I filed the 18th, still haven’t been accepted! I called the 800 number and got no where! I just want to know if my taxes were accepted!

[Anonymous]

For those asking about TPG login failure. The site is back up. I just tried to login and it finally took me to the page. No refund in it yet though. UGH

[byrdchem]

My California return was accepted (TurboTax) on 1/19/16, but the CA FTB web site says “We do not have a record of your 2015 California Income Tax return in our files.”

Does this sound normal?

Thanks,

Larry

[Shar]

Oh I forgot to say through Tax Act! I got it back pretty quickly last year.

[Shar]

Filed on 1/19, accepted on 1/20 and nothing yet, as expected.

[Anonymous]

Accepted 1/12 for Fed still 1 bar on WMR. State was just accepted today 1/21. Last year I received my State and Fed the same day

[Desiree]

If you read that article it says that, “there have been reports of delay FOR YOU STATE REFUND and that there have been NO reports of the IRS having delays with FEDERAL refunds; all federal refunds should be issues within 21 days.”

[KinFL]

I had offsets on and off, and it does not tie up your refund. The amount is automatically deducted and the balance sent to you via DD or check. I have an offset on the TOP hotline for the last 2 years, but no money has been taken yet…wondering if it will be this year. Good Luck!

[tswan20]

He’s not lying there are several articles regarding state taxes being delayed. Here is one

http://taxdelay.com/

[jennipher]

I guess we all gonna have to make signs and stand outside the irs headquarters and scream . ITS MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOW. but i spoke with my bank and they confused about whats going on. But if anyone bars changes please keep us posted

[Anonymous]

Not sure where you heard that, but I can’t find any article about any delays. Don’t listen to him.

[Guillermo]

Last Year I filed Jan 21… and got the whole ID verification process done in february… all the way until december I was getting no new info on the IRS website about my refund… i fot transcripts and still pending…
Now I cannot check last year’s refund status because it brings me to this year’s. I filed this year and it was accepted…

will this affect this year’s refund… should I call the IRS about last year’s?

[al]

Irs. reporting delays with new system

[-Crystal-]

Do not go to this link, it is social engineering fraud.

[Lilma]

No update on my federal return but I have a ddd for my state 1-26-16 and I have always got my state and federal at the same time but who knows maybe this years different would be nice to get it all the 26th Lol

[AndreaKY]

I received my PIN in the mail last week and filed as usual via TT. My federal was accepted on 1/19 when the IRS started accepting returns. As of now, I have 1 bar on WMR to show it’s been accepted. I will update when it moved to approved. I agree with James, hopefully the purpose of the PIN is keep things moving normally!

[Mike]

I got an email from HRB that my refund was accepted last night 1/20. MD state site has nothing yet.

[Anonymous]

Files with H&R Block online on Jan 19 at 6:30 am…still not accepted ? just got off the phone with them and they said they don’t know what’s going on and they would escalate to Tier 2 and it could take 48 to 72 hours to hear back. This is the 2nd year in a row they have done this. This will be my last year using this bs company.
