Work for the irs, stop worrying, the official day to start accepting returns is today. Tomorrow begins the official processing start date for e-filers.

[JKay]

I filed yesterday, 1/18 with H&R Block. I looked at the WMR IRS site this morning and nothing. I checked about 30 minutes ago and it showed its been received and I had 1 bar. Good Luck! I am hoping everything goes smooth as well. I had a few issues last year that delayed my refund.

[Anonymous]

Filed 1/18/16 with TT still hasn’t been accepted, hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. Just here to see what other peoples experiences are and when they get accepted and when they get their refund. I had a lot of trouble last year and this site helped a lot. Will update when I get accepted and when I have a date for the refund..

[Adria]

If we are going to get our refund this week, we will know by tomorrow morning. The IRS updates all refunds on Wednesday and deposit on Friday.

[K]

I understand processing could differ based on the complexity of each individual return, but acceptance doesn’t make sense, since its supposed to be a first come first accepted sort of thing.

[JKay]

I filed with H&R yesterday, 1/18. I checked the WMR this morning and nothing on that website. I checked it just a few minutes ago and it shows 1 bar and that they have received it. Good Luck to everyone!

[Beth has kids]

I went to the sbt website that turbo tax uses . They are the ones that process tt refunds. That website says it is expecting my return of Feb 2 2016. WMR still only has one bar accepted not approved.

[K]

Thanks @Mike, I checked the wheres my refund website too and it hasn’t been accepted yet.

[Melissa]

I filed on 1/15 and check WMR today around noon. It updated to one bar and topic 152 but TT still says pending?? Can anyone help me out? If there’s one bar, does that mean it is accepted?

[K]

Grr! @ Christy0111, that’s another person who filed after I did and got theirs accepted before mine.

[Tiarra]

I got accepted on the 11th and have a customer number on SBGT with a DD by 02/01/2016, i only have one bar on where’s my refund

[Mike]

@K

HRB website still shows mine as pending but IRS website was updated aprox 11:00 am today with one bar. My experience with HRB website has been slow in the past. Check the IRS website.

[Christy0111]

I filed with H&R on 1/8/16, accepted today and just got one bar about 5 minutes ago. Good luck to everyone! Fingers crossed for an issue free tax season!

[Levvy]

I called liberty and some people were approved on today already they’re gonna be approving them all day

[loving my babies]

@tasha mine says the same thing on tt but i think its juat letting you know that’s where itll be deposited

[Alicia]

@Tasha mines said it was deposited into my bank account

[Sean]

@Tasha

Mine says deposited as well. It’s more of a placeholder.. doesn’t mean it’s actually been deposited. Keep track on the irs website for a more accurate timeline.

[Cynthia]

@Tasha I do

@Shawn I have a customer number but I used TT last year could that be why?

[Sean]

CA Return accepted @ 9:36am according to TT. No updates on CA website, should see that tmrw!

[Tasha]

Has anyone else looked on my tax time line through turbo tax and hit more information button and seen the message your refund has been deposited into your bank account

[Anonymous]

I was asked for that info on both mine (used TT) and my bf (hrb)

[Alicia]

TPG has not received your federal tax refund.
Your expected IRS funding date is 2/1/2016. 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

So we’ll see what that means. I don’t have any bars at all.. it says it is processing with a Topic 152

[Heather]

filed on Jan/13/2016
accepted on Jan/14/2016
still waiting to be approved Jan/19/2016
Filed with TurboTax

[K]

@Tina, that’s why I’m questioning mine. If its a first in first out sort of thing, then why is mine that was filed on the 7th still pending today, the opening day, and some ones filed on the 14th has been accepted?

[Mel]

WMR just updated for me. Sitting at the first bar. I was getting nervous because they usually accept them pretty quickly. Not 4 days after I file. I need to stop being so impatient Lol.

Filed TT 1/15

[Tina]

This may help
The Intuit Electronic Filing Center begins accepting and holding (“stockpiling”) 2015 tax returns that are final and able to be e-filed.
The IRS starts processing stockpiled returns on January 19 (a few are processed up to a week earlier for testing purposes).
January 15, 2016

Due date for fourth installment of 2015 estimated tax payments.
January 19, 2016

The IRS starts processing previously stockpiled returns on a first-in, first-out basis.
The IRS will run a small number of stockpiled returns through their systems up to a week before this date for testing purposes.
If yours is one of them, please note that your tax refund (if any) will not be processed until after January 19.

[Ann]

It tells me that no information are available right now and to call back later. What?

[Anonymous]

Filed my bf’s on 1/11 through HRB, his was accepted on 1/12 and has a message saying DD by 2/2. (21 days kinda generic).

I filed mine own 1/18 with TT and mine is still pending.

[Tasha]

Anyone else who filed with tt get a note saying their refund has been deposited into their bank account I have only had 2 other people say they have the same message but I’m still at one bar on wmr

[Anonymous]

I would def wait if nothing happens call hr

[K]

Thanks @Rebekah! I was only concerned because when I filed early it said it put you “in line” basically for being accepted when they opened up, aside from those who got early acceptance.

[ArmyHub]

@Shawn Just checked and I do have a customer number with nothing pending not sure if it means anything I think they change things every year just to mess with us

[Kr]

Filed 14th just got 1st bar though tt ship says pending. Haven’t gotten the accepted email from tt yet. Though it’s.gov and app show received with the 1st bar.

[shawn]

? last year if you were being processed by SBTG you would have a customer number and if you do not have an amount pending yet you would not have a customer number (the customer number was the electronic transfer number. Does everyone have a customer number? Just a question. (we all want to break the code lol)

[Anonymous]

@k just give it time of you aren’t accepted at the end of the day I would call h and r block

[ArmyHub]

filed with 1/13 with TT Accepted 1/14

[K]

HR block as well.

[Anonymous]

@k who did you file with?

[K]

Because I also filed with HR Block-? (sorry for being annoying) hah

[K]

I wonder why if I filed on the 7th it has not been accepted but Mike filed on the 14th and his was accepted today? Should I be worried?

[Mike]

Filed HnR Block 1/14 accepted today. 1 bar topic 152 on WMR

[Jay]

I filed on the 11th, got rejected for a typo on a SS number on the 13th, re-filed with corrections within an hour of getting the message from Liberty Tax, was accepted on the 14th. L.T.’s message system yet, but their message updates come in between 10am and noon. I was told, it would be 7 -10 from when it was accepted from their bank JTH Financial, and Liberty Tax as well. It’s been 5 days and no changes on the IRS refund site. Also, no change even with L.T. messages., will keep people updated though.

[Dani]

I filed 1/19/2016 right at midnight just wondering if anyone has been accepted that filed today

[Anonymous]

Well I filed my bf’s through HRB on 1/11 and it was accepted on 1/12. I filed mine yesterday 1/18 through TT and it is still pending.

[Anonymous]

With not 28th lol sorry auto correct

[Anonymous]

I got accepted on 1/11 I filed the 1/7 and still one bar. I filed 28th turbo so it still says 0% people have received their refund so I’m pretty sure no one has been approved yet. ): I know the excitement of it all but we just gotta be patient(: it’ll be here before we know it!(:

[K]

I filed mine on the 7th and it has not yet been accepted.

[Dara]

@Desiree, that’s what I presumed. It to be a generic date. Thanks

[Dennis]

Ok, I apologize. I’m waiting like everyone else. Sorry for the deaths and financial hardships.

[serena]

Filed on January 8 and got accepted January 14! Hopefully any day now! :)

[tamyra]

is anyone else having a problem getting info ? it wont accept the number you push that it asks for and keeps repeating itself

[Mel]

I filed on 1/15 through tt and it still says pending. I wonder when they will start accepting some more returns?

[MiaM]

Thanks guys for the TPG/SBTPG info and the https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com ! (On Early Filers posts)

Here’s an Update:
Thurs, 1/7/16 filed w TT
Mon, 1/11/16 TT email that was accepted and estimates will receive refund 01/19 (highly unlikely) though 2/05.
Wed, 1/13/16 WMR IRS updates w 1st bar saying accepted (Wed update?)

Mon, 1/18/16 Checked https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com and entered my info (SSN, Status, Amount), no info came up, but it was a holiday of course.

Tues, 1/19/16 Checked https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com today and entered my info (SSN, Status, Refund Amount). This time my info came up and says:

“TPG has not received your federal tax refund. Your expected IRS funding date is 2/1/2016. 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”.

(No second bar but am progressing).
Hope this helps.

[Desiree]

To those talking about the DDD on https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com/login.aspx , everybody’s DDD on there is just the generic 21 days after your return was accepted. Hopefully, we will all get them sooner than that date!

[Amanda Schratt]

I filed on Jan 14, and I’m still showing pending on turbo tax. Is this going on with anyone else?

[lavanidosa26]

@Dennis well i understand the people who needs the money for bills sometimes the situation during the year it could be so complicated and the money is not enough to pay everything!!! I’m a mother of 3 kids and my husband is the only one working and it gets super hard at times!! what he works is not enough well i can’t work cause of health issues of course I’m not posting it here but please stop being negative and tell other people what to do with there $$$ cause u dont know what there going through! !!

[Anonymous]

@dennis if you’re not worried about when you get your refund, then why are you on here watching what everyone posts. You want yours just as bad as everyone else.

[MiaM]

Hi, Sandy

I believe that site is for tax prepares that use their bank service (such as Turbo Tax); such as I think the deposit goes from IRS to the Tax prepares’ bank (like if you paid a fee to do your taxes and you opted to pay with your refund, TT takes their share), and then it goes to your bank account. No delay, just I think that’s the process (a guess from my experience :)

If you filed directly with the IRS, I think the IRS will deposit directly to you (and so not sure they use SBTPG).

So there’s 1. IRS deposits to you (did your own taxes, mailed or e-filed on your own?)
2. You paid a tax preparer and opted to pay with your refund: it goes to their bank (with no or a business day delay), and then DD to your bank. (No RAL).
3. You do one of those insanely expensive Refund Anticipation Loans (RAL) at an HR Block or Liberty Tax in an office and get your money ahead of other, but only because these or similiar companies are giving you money beforehand based on what they filed for you (and charging a big fee to ‘prepare’ your taxes and lend you the money before the IRS actually sends it).

Not a tax expert. Just mom of two teens that has been filing taxes for years and used all of the above at one point the last 17 years, lol, and has been my experience so far (can be different for others). Hope this helps a little.

[Cynthia]

@Dennis….Why are ppl so obnoxious. I always need money and work very hard and look forward to my refund I EARNED IT!!!

[Anonymous]

Not sure of it helps anyone but I saw a chart that states that people who got accepted on or before the 11th are estimated to get there returns by 1-29. Not sure how accurate this is but that’s what I’m looking at on the chart.I was going to upload a screen shot but I don’t see a place on here to upload it just type.but as it sits my return is still on the first bar on the where is my refund.

[Desiree]

Anyone else see a DDD for their state refund?

[Tatiana]

@dennis, Wtf are you??? You need to mind your business and go focused on youeself. You never know what could happen within a year. Well as for me let’s see, loss of job, family members dying meaning you have to spend more. You come on here trying to be god. Leave the negative comments at home. Your an adult who is negative.

[lavanidosa26]

Hello well i filed 1/13 accepted 1/14 and until today it showed me my 1st bar so i hope i see the 2nd bar soon!!!

[tswan20]

@ Dennis you don’t know what people’s situations are and why they need the money. I don’t need it but I surely like knowing when it’s coming and look forward to this forum every year.

[gina]

filed 11
accepted 14
one bar on wmr irs.gov

and so the wait begins

[Dennis]

Here we go again. Same people who already know the process still trying to get there refund early. Like I say every year to you people…..budget your money throughout the year and you wouldn’t need your refund for bills.

[MiaM]

Hi, DARA. I did… it shows my info at SBTPG site :) (I posted in my long post below).

Hi, SANDY; I think it updates (at least the Accept bars) on Wednesdays.
I had filed Thurs 1/7, and TT said accepted on Mon 1/11, but did not show bar on WMR until Wed 1/13.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you for tomorrow :).

Mia

Deanna- it did not happen to me, but to someone else.. That person switched the status from Single to Head of Household. Good Luck!
