Kristi, Tax Topic 152 means absolutely nothing. It is basically telling you that once your refund amount is “approved” you will have your DD within 21 days. Having TT 152 doesn’t mean that your amount is approved, it doesn’t mean that your DDD will show up tomorrow. Everyone whose return was “accepted” has TT 152. TT 152 showing up today just says that the IRS received your return and it is being processed. Once your refund amount is “approved” 2nd orange bar, then your DDD will be forthcoming. People read too much into TT152 but no one actually reads it. The amount of your refund while in 1st bar showing “accepted” could still change. Once accepted, it has to be actually reviewed and could up until “approved” be sent back for corrections. Please do not get all excited at this point. Get excited once “approved” shows up.

Filed late on the 18th, got acceptance notice from tt an hour ago. Now I try to remember to be patient

[Rtbartonie]

Code 152 is great it just goes over your options for getting your refund!!!

[Bruce Jaraczewski]

I filed with TurboTax January 13 today is the 20th still says pending greeter!!

[Melody]

Filed yesterday (01/19) with TT. Got an email and text about 20 minutes ago that Federal was accepted (Idaho won’t be open until the 23rd). Checked WMR and one orange bar with amount and code 152. :)

[Anonymous]

I put this question in another thread earlier, no responses inside that person’s thread, but I just need help remembering.

Is it just me, or last year, when Tax Topic 152 popped up, wasn’t that generally a good sign, and usually the next WMR date showed up with a DDD, or am I confused?

I can’t remember how it went last year, and want to provide the answer for others to the best of my knowledge, and I just can’t remember how it went down last year, because my daughter moved out at the end of the tax year, and then claimed that no one could claim her when we legally could (she had just turned 18 December 21st), and screwed us out of $2,000 in credits, and we needed it SO badly last year…so I wasn’t fully concentrating on info like I normally am.

Please let me know if I’m right or not. On a side note, my taxes got accepted today after pending since 1/15, but I have TT152 on mine already. That’s crazy. LOL

Thanks!

[MsT]

Just filed my with Efiled and has been accepted. Hope things go smoothly this year. Last year was a mess.

[Aspis]

Filed with TT on the 14th, at 9pm, roughly, federal accepted the 16th, state (GA) accepted this morning. WMR says accepted, one orange bar, with amount to the left and Topic 152.

[Anonymous]

I got accepted !!!!!!! Turbo tax gives me a date from 2m to feb 10!!!!!!!! Goodluck yall!

[Melody]

I was just accepted for Federal taxes filing with a 1040c for my small sole proprietorship business. This is my first year. Checked WMR and I have one orange bar for acceptance! So nervous waiting for it to advance and hoping I don’t get pulled for audit being my first year. Anyone with experience in this and how long it usually takes for them to decide to pull for an audit? Thanks.

[jarkrt]

Filed with TaxSlayer on the 20th at 12:05 am. Return accepted on the 20th.

[Aspis]

Has anyone here ever been.accepted by the IRS, then rejected? Why does this happen?

Every year I am so antsy in the waiting period from acceptance to approval, so I am curious as to what the acceptance to approval/rejection process entails.

If anyone out there knows about the process and reasons for rejection, or has experienced it first hand, please share with us! :-)

[MCRT88]

I filed with TT Deluxe on 1/9, got federal accepted 1/12, state accepted 1/13, and WMR has 1 bar, refund amount and “Tax Topic 152″.
However, I had the 8960 form in my return and I was concerned last night because I saw that the “fix” was to enter all zero’s or delete the form (I entered 1.0000 on line 4 and 0 on the other line). I called TT Support last night and asked if this would effect my return in anyway, if I would have to re-file or if my refund would be delayed.. She ran through the regular spew and then stopped, actually talked to me like a person, was extremely nice, pulled up a bunch of info on it and then asked me for my SSN and said that they can see what has been processed so far by the IRS. She told me that my return was ACCEPTED all the way across the board, that there were no issues and that the only thing left for the IRS to do is issue a DDD. That they will not start issuing DDD’s until at least 1/20 and that I should see a DDD within 24-72 hours after “Tax Season” officially opens. So fingers crossed that I wake up to a DDD tomorrow or the next day!! Based off of last years Early filers and DDD, it could be as early as next week! I will be hoping, if not, the earliest I have seen is the 5th and that isn’t far!

[Kathy]

If you go by the various”refund schedules” posted, it’s straight days.

[Dani]

I filed on the Sunday the 18th and received my acceptance text this morning. WMR has one bar. Last year I filed super early, didn’t get into test batch but received my refund on the 12 of Feb.

[Anonymous]

I filed this morning at 11:38 with Turbo Tax. I received a text at 12:52 saying it was accepted. It shocked me. I’ve never had it happen so fast.

Yaminah, I was not with the test batch. Filed with TT on 1/16, received text from TT this morning that my return was accepted by IRS. Went to WMR and it shows received with 1 orange bar. Earlier this morning (around 6am est) it showed nothing was available on WMR. No issues whatsoever filing through TT. Have always used them, have never had a problem. On another note, people who are just anxious and filing 2 or more returns, you may end up getting flagged as multiple filings and placed into the Fraud department. A coworker of mine had that situation a few years ago and it took her over a year to receive her refund…..just be patient. If you were expecting an accepted today and it takes an additional day or two, just wait it out, better that than having to fill out all sorts of forms for the IRS and snail mailing them, causing you to wait even longer. I thought I was going to be in that “glitch” and I wasn’t. I filed 1040A, EIC 3 dependents, no issues, return accepted this morning, the day that IRS officially opened.

[Anonymous]

I was accepted by the IRS on the 12th. I was showing 1 bar through WMR. Now it states for the last 3 days no bars and your return is still being processed with no amount. Not to sure what to expect.

[res]

Filed mine on 1/14 accepted on 1/15….wmr has one bar

[AJ]

Filed last night (10:05 p.m.) with TT. I signed up for email and text alerts but did not receive either. Federal return was accepted this morning, state (MI) is pending. One bar on WMR.

[Dan]

Just got the official “Accepted” email from Turbotax!

[Aspis]

@Sam, while tax preparers certainly do just that, if wmr says you are accepted, you are accepted. The IRS accepted my return on the 16th, I filed with TT the 14th. So, whether simply as a test or not, the IRS has officially accepted several returns before the 20th.

As far as time frames, if the first date last year was the 6th, and they opened the 30th, wouldn’t that mean this year the earliest DDD would be the 27th?

[Dan]

Update: Just got the official “Accepted” email from TT!! YAY!

[Christy]

Filed TT 1/19.. no email from TT but went to WMR and it has been accepted! :)

[Anonymous]

Filed 1/17
sent to IRS 12:55 pm 1/20
waiting….

[Anonymous]

No I meant 5 days for it to be accepted last year not for a refund, I wish! It was 2 weeks to the day last year from acceptance for my refund

[Dan]

Exact same situation here. It looks like we’ve been accepted but TT is slow and hasn’t changed us from Pending to Accepted yet. I’m choosing to believe the IRS over TT.

[Angelique]

It means that your return was accepted. I would sign on to TT and see if it has been updated.

[Becca]

I don’t think anyone has got a DDD yet I think mostly everyone is still in the received & processing stages. Would be nice though to see the changes happen quickly! Is it true or just a rumor that some people may get them on the 27th? I’ve seen a few threads where they are saying things like that, it’s probably just trying to get people all excited

[Rtbartonie]

Wow!!!! 5 days that’s awesome I hope my refund is that quick this year!!

[Anonymous]

SO i filed on the 18th of this month , TT has not emailed me anything but i went to where is my refund and its on the first bar. What does that mean?

[Rtbartonie]

Sorry, I have never asked this before. I always wondered was it actually 21 business days or 21 calendar days from the acceptance date?
I was in the test batches for 2012 and 2013 .. And the 1121 coders… And the refund canceled group offer year.
I guess I’m asking what to expect if everything is going smoothly thus far.

Thanks so much!

[Anonymous]

no DDD yet. Pretty positive it will be overnight or tomorrow!!!

[jen]

Has anyone got a ddd

[Totsa]

Got Accepted 1/13 TT. What about Approved? Anyone?

[Prissy]

Filed with taxact, on 1-16-2015, accepted by IRS today, this morning. 1 bar at WMR site.

[waitinonmymoney]

Woo hoo! Filed 1/17 with tax act… accepted this am 1 bar on wmmfr!

[Dan]

Just checked WMR for giggles and guess what? We’re in there with one bar and processing! That means we’ve been accepted, right? Even though TT is still showing pending?

[Anonymous]

Filed today at 735am and already accepted by IRS! Last year took 5 days

[AOhioGIrl]

I filed with TurboTax about 2AM 1/20/15 as of right now still shows pending in TurboTax. However, WMR shows it as received and processing with amount so I am thinking TurboTax is having delays in updating to accepted?!?!

[ABall]

I was accepted by IRS on the 13th. Anyway, if it is like last year when I was accepted early we got our refund in the 1st DD on 2/6. If it goes like last year I am looking for a 1/27 DDD. Good luck all!

[Stuckwituforever]

I filed 1/13. No update/email/text from Turbo Tax.But am able to log onto WM and see it was received and Processing. 1 bar with TT 152.

[amanda]

I was part of the test patch in 2013 and 2012. They just transmit several test batches to the irs to test their system. They don’t actually process or approve any returns. Last year I got accepted very early, I got my refund on the 6th of feb, same time as everyone else that got accepted the first day. After the issues years ago, with them now saying wait 21 days… i don’t expect or count on anything, this way I’m not dissapointed. This is the first year I didn’t get accepted early, but I did get accepted today.i have used tax act since 2007 and i have not had any problems so far.

[Dan]

All of these acceptance emails are getting my hopes up! Filed 1/18, so hopefully I’ll get mine soon and not be glitched!

[ciball]

I had a daughter that passed at one month, the man at HR Block told me I could claim her for the entire year….she had a social security number though. Sorry for your loss, I know what you are going through.

[Corey B.]

E-filed with TT on 1/16/15. Just received my acceptance email and text around 11:30am EST on 1/20/15! It’s been a crazy few tax years. Had to catch up on some missed years and payoff some offsets. This year– free and clear! Im a single dad and really need a break– planning a cruise! Need my DDD ASAP!!

[Buster]

Filed on 17th with Turbo Tax (No EIC or Glitch), went from pending to accepted about 15 minutes ago. IRS is showing received (one bar) and Turbo Tax is giving refund window of 21st to Feb 10th. Good Luck to all other Turbo Tax filers.

[amanda]

The irs ALWAYS transmits several tests batches before the acceptance date. It does NOT process them though. In the last 2 years, I was always part of the test batch. Not this year, I still did mine on the 15th, but didn’t get accepted until today. Just because it accepted your return early, you WILL NOT get a refund sooner. You will get it at the same time as everyone else. The irs accepts returns, but they need to be processed and approved by the date on the cycle chart, in order to get your refund on the date listed.

[Jenn]

Filed last week. Rejected for a Ssn typo this AM. Resubmitted and accepted by 10:49 One bar on WMR

[Sharee]

UPDATE I FILED TODAY WITH TT AND WAS ACCEPTED RIGHT NOW!

[Brubraja]

About the TT glitch concerning the 1040A with EIC for 2+ dependents…..I thought I was part of that glitch, filed a 1040A and had all of the other criteria, I had filed on 1/16 and have been “Pending” ever since. So, I thought I was part of that glitch, I just received an email from TT 2 minute ago saying my return was accepted by IRS. So, was the 1/22/15 resubmit date going around just a hoax? Just wanted everyone to know that today is the 20th, official open date of IRS and mine was accepted today, so, maybe this whole glitch problem wasn’t true???

[msdld2015]

They did a test run and accepted a soimereturns before today, they just wasn’t getting processed today, I was accepted on the 16th

[Anonymous]

I was just accepted via TT also. I filed 1/14. They’ve already refunded my fees so that’s a plus.

[NYCteachermom]

Filed with TT on the 14th and ACCEPTED just now.

I filed with freetaxusa Jan 15th @ 11:50pm. Got accepted Jan 16th @ noon. Been using them for 4 years.

[richard]

Well that was pretty informative.

[Jmac]

Filed 1/19 just accepted taxusa they are coming in now.

[Sam]

apparently it wasn’t just TT users.

[Sam]

The IRS did not accept any returns before January 20. Your tax provider received your returned and held it until today.

[Anonymous]

I filed on the 12th with Freetaxusa, I was accepted on the 14th. When I go to WMR nothing has changed, the orange bar is still on received & processing. I was hoping that when the 20th hit it would have changed :( Has anyone heard about different DDD? I seen on one site where they said the 3rd as a DDD but not sure with all the different dates going around. I guess if anything it’ll be here by the 5th

[sharee]

I use Chase Liquid card and ive had mine deposit for since last year! very good card
No fees to use it but there is a 4.95 monthly charge but u can withdraw from all chase atms up to 500.00 and in person as much as you want

[Kristi H]

Okay I filed with turbo tax on 1/15 and it was in pending. So, in fear I was affected by the glitch, also filed using tax act.

I JUST got an email from tax act saying federal was rejected for primary SSN already being used.

Checked TT, still said pending, so I just went to the IRS2Go app (has where’s my refund built into it) and I show one orange bar, and it’s been accepted.

So, people with TT pending but no glitch? Check your WMR. Hopefully you’ll be pleasantly surprised too! Good luck!

[Dan]

I’m a “glitcher” with TT this year. I contacted them via FB and here’s the reply I received. “Sorry for the delay, Daniel. I have received your email and after looking into this further for you, it does appear that your tax return is one that is affected by this. However, there is no action necessary on your part. Your return will be automatically resubmitted on January 22nd or sooner.”

I then asked why we weren’t notified, will this delay my refund, what does “on the 22nd or sooner” mean, and how we will know that it has been resubmitted. This is their reply: “I completely understand your concerns and frustration, Daniel. I would like to sincerely apologize for the delay of information regarding this error. As of right now, this will not delay when you will receive your tax refund. Also, It is never a good idea to transmit two returns in a given tax year. I would like to reassure you that this will be taken care of and your tax return will get submitted to the IRS. The reason the date to be resubmitted is January 22nd or sooner, is because this is when the IRS expects to have the issue resolved so the return can be submitted successfully. You can stay up to date on the status of your return, by following the link below.”

[Sharee]

I filed today with TT at 6:19 pst time and still waiting my acceptance! I file every year with TT so im not giving up hope just yet.

[MommaOF4]

Just got text saying federal was accepted. Filed 1/19 on Taxact:)

[Rtbartonie]

So sorry for your loss, my nephew was born stillborn as well. From what the CSR told her she could not claim the child. We could however, deduct medical and funeral expenses. As these were more than the standard deduction. Also if the child was alive long enough to obtain a social then possibly but since he was not alive when born it wasn’t possible. So sorry again for your loss. It’s not a easy thing to lose a child so hard. So sorry.

[Michelle]

@Rebecca, my boyfriend and I both used freetaxusa. I have used them for the last 5 years. His was submitted and accepted on the 15th and I filed mine on the 17 and it was accepted this morning. I am in Texas if that makes any difference.
