was able to order my transcripts around 9 PM tonight central time was accepted 1/30 hang in there everyone!
seems to be no rhyme or reason of processing order this year, i have no DD yet FYI
Hello everyone! I’ve been following for a few days now.. rather anxious this year, as last year my return got caught up in a handful of different messes and it took a tax advocate and a few months before I saw any money!
So, here is my story, and I promise to keep you updated as best as possible…Filed initially through TT on 1/24. Had form 8863. sat in processing, not rejected or accepted… decided to go elsewhere w/o 8863.
Filed through HR (free edition) without 8863 on 1/30 around lunch time.. accepted about 3 hours later.
I have been stuck on bar one, with generic 21 day processing msg ever since. Not able to order transcripts as of 2am(est) on 2/2.
I have a simple return, 2 w2, 1099, child tax, and EIC..I have been in “processing” since the 30th. I think I (think) was able to order transcrpits, it said they were being mailed to me. Should I hve been able to view it at that point?? I’m a lil confused….too many ways for the irs to tell u absolutely nothing.ugh!
Used taxact
Filed 1/28
Accepted1/29Called a few days ago spoke with a lady she states i they have my return n its being processed and said my projected date was 2/14 I have form 8863
okay I guess it is good news that I am able to order my return transcript as of 2:20 est… I have no freaking clue what it means…. but i hope its good news… and yes I am a 8863 accepted 23rd hope this helps
Hi All! I filed (free-file..no fees) on 01/27 and was accepted on 01/30. I have the first bar filled since 01/31.
Tried to order transcripts at 5pm today and couldn’t so Im gonna wait till mornkng and try again. BTW the WMR updated to the first bar for me on 01/31 between 8pm and 11pm. So who knows exactly what time they update.
Good Luck to all of us waiting!I was accepted on the 26 but every time I check wmr it says I was accepted but they are processing it but the bottom says last updated January 30 and I already have an account with sbbt but its not saying when either but I heard that they open your account right before you’re about to get it.. Can somebody help me out please!! I think I might be locked out of wmr for checking too much but I got exited cause turbo tax got me accepted early lol!!!!
When I spoke with the irs rep I was told 8863 form filers should start being sent through on the 11th. If all checks out and there isnt any flags that refunds will go out for them starting a few weeks after that.
I acct 1/30 and b4 when I checked my ttyl site it allways said that my fees where still owed and when I checked earlier it said that they r paid but wmr still says processing I’m hoping my wmr just hasn’t updated for me yet. I have my $ dd into my sisters acct so mabe it already there I will find out tomorrow when I talk to her she sleeping now… this will b a rough night lol
Did u have your fees deducted or have the emerald card. I bet that message was h&r letting us know they got our refund and we have to wait on them to process them without actually saying it. I got the same message my fees are being deducted.
That message you received today was h&r letting you know they received your refund I bet you had your fees deducted from your return or having it loaded to the emerald card …..
Filed 1/27 with TaxHawk. Notified 1/29 about education credit delay. Removed 8863 and filed again 1/29. Accepted 1/31 @ 3:25 a.m. Still processing.
I efiled on 1/23 and my federal is still pending (of course)….BUT, my state taxes through GA were just accepted about an hour ago!!!! Thank the Lord!
Now, I’m just praying that they get the kinks worked out for the 8863 to be accepted through federal.I re- efiled after being rejected on the 30th… HR sent an email it was pending approval from the IRS here it is 2/2 and Its still pending… anyone know why the IRS wouldn’t have accepted or rejected it yet?
Filed on Jan 23 it was accepted on the 25. I still dont have a DD getting very annoyed. the only thing WMR says is its being processed. I did however order the transcripts but not sure if the rumor is true about that since i cant find any infor online.
I got the same email text combo as well. Maybe HRB text service is on the slow side of things? Last year it was way delayed as well.
Started getting this message on the phone hotline this morning. Haven’t been able to access WMR until now. Here is what I’m getting.
Filed 01/25/13 and paid for fees up from using TT. Basic return. Just 2 W2’s… no other forms.

I prepared and file my taxes on 1/7 taxact said the would it and submit when the IRS was ready. The IRS accepted my taxes on 1/23. Yesterday I checked the IRS website and it said my refund would be deposited into my account on 2/1. Republic bank called me and stated taxact was doing something different to prevent fraud so I had to verify my identity via email with a link from LexusNexus or whatever. Minutes later I received another email stating I successfully completed the ID test. My question is how long does Republic Bank usually holds your refund before they transfer it into your bank account.
mine was accepted, I see it on wmr and h&r website. I never got a single email or text though…? btw, those of u who don’t know,if u have the emerald card u can get refund info by caling number on back :)
hello my fellow 8863’rs nice to meet you all… messed up we had to have a support group for this but here goes
Filed on the 7th accepted the 23rd (still processing)
State MI still waiting acceptance
No info for WMR…(think I got a little too jumpy and checked to much lol)
I have two question
1. what is this transcript everyone is talking about? and can I have a link
2. if the recorded message says you should receive your refund within 21 days does that mean that the only thing holding us up is the 8863?I’m trying not to loose my mind here mainly because of my state i knew sunday about the hold up on the form.. but for some reason I haven’t been accepted (filed on the 12th) still awaiting acceptance… I called the treasury dept and can not get passed the automated bs… and it keeps telling me my AGI is wrong? is this happening to anyone else?
What exactly does accepted mean? I received the orange status bar saying IRS has received my refund on 1/31 at about 6pm. Still waiting on a dd, but the wmr system has been giving me the 21 day message all day today and no status bar no more. Whats up with that? Oh I filed through preparer on 1/29.
I got the same thing. Filed and was accepted on the 30th and I got the text today.. very weird.
Bummed because my daughters birthday is coming next week and I wanted to do something extra special for her. I hope it comes through.
Ms. Joy : I too got the same email regarding the delay. I’m not positive, but it may be the 1098-t form I filed.
Just figured everyone floating out there in cyberspace could get together here and update everyone when they receive their 2/6 deposit… my bank has no delays, I always get my DD for everything a day early. So if they are sending out refunds for 2/4 already as I’ve read, maybe we’ll get ours by Monday!
Update when you receive yours, please! :)
Well, I’ve checked the phone hotline and tried to order transcripts. I filed and got accepted on the 30th. No other update since then. My refund is probably getting reviewed.
forgot to mention i filed on the 24th and was accepted on the 30th
i wasnt able to order my transcripts but i was able to 3 minutes ago does this mean they are done processing
Filed 1/29 accepted 1/30 have been trying to order a transcript all day, an was finally able to about 5 minutes ago! Wasn’t able to an hour ago! Hopefully I have a DD date soon!
My file was accepted on the 30th as well. WMR and 800 number still saying processing. I was able to order both of my 2012 transcripts today. Does this mean that I am about to change on the WMR or does it not mean anything? I see some people say that they were accepted on the 30th and will get a refund on 2/4 and 2/7. Is this really true?
Same thing here. Got a email on the 30th that my return was accepted. Then today I 2/1 I got a text saying it was accepted. Strange. No DD date yet.
Kristina… me too
Yes I did file 8863
Stupid phone messed up. Hope y’all can understand what I just posted. Lol
@Kristina R Same thing with me. Thought it was odd too.
Letting you guys know that I got a hold of someone at the IRS who was very nice and helpful. Said the online systems nd automated system are behind. He told me mine is scheduled for deposit on 2/6. I alswas accepted like y’all on the 29th so you may try that. Not all IRS people are helpful when you call but I’d say the money is on it’s way and our day looks like the 6th!
ok so all 8863’er called the number listed above to talk to a human…..this is my third time calling first 2 told me nothing..last man i spoke with looked into my account and said i had a projected DD date of 2/11!!!! I filed 1/18 “accepted” 1/25 WMR says processing both online/irs2go app and hotline. But this man said he seen a Project DD date of 2/11 . And of course i filed with 8863 form I did the ex 362 and said i was wondering about how much i owed …she tranfered me…man wasnt willing to look untill i bugged him to death! try it…and Good luck! also still cannot order either of my transcripts also i used TT and didnt use a 3rd party for fee’s i paid up front and had DD straight to my chase account!
Kind of odd, got the email on the 30th that my refund was accepted through H & R Block, today 2/1, I got a text saying it was accepted…Kind of odd.
So the guy at H R was helpful. He says the IRS did some last minute BS regarding e-filing on HR Blocks home services and it could be an extra 48 hours before it is processed.. and not to worry.. im still worrying.
I had filed hrb online on 1/20. I was accepted 1/30. Wmr states still processing but the 800 number says dd 2/5. And I was able to order return transcripts
@mongamari: Did you file a 8863
So after calling the irs since the 30th i was finally able to get a rep (called the spanish line wait was 4mins) to actually admit that i indeed was accepted on the 26th and that my refund is actually being processed… he didnt give me a date and gave the 21 day bs line but im more at ease because for the first time the rep actually was able to pull up my stuff with my current address so im guessing this is good news to anyone accepted and processing… WE ARE ACTUALLY IN THE SYSTEM BEING PROCESSSED NOT JUST SITTING THERE!!
:)) good news?
@Truly pissed I got the same email from TaxACT, pretty bummed. It is what it is :(
well, im an 8863’er filed on 1/18 accepted on 1/25 still no DD date, WMR still has one bar shows processing..and cannot order transcripts for 2012 Neither kind(account or refund) called today and spoke to 2 reps…they do not have a DD date for me…..still waiting for anything…it would make me feel better if i could order my transcripts. Single mom of a disabled daughter and this money is desperately needed as will most all here!..Id be happy with at least a date! Not this Mid-Feb crap!
no he wasnt but i am. just glad it didnt effect the state taxes
Frikfrac was ur son an 8863er as well? I was accepted on 1/24 with 8863 and had one bar on WMR last night amd this morning that said processing. I called the irs today and they said they don’t have my return and I’m locked out of WMR… Ugh
Same here, Nicole, lol! Vegas Baby!
my sons bar is on 2nd level he already got his direct deposit so i don’t trust those bars lol…i’m a 8863er so not holding breath to long and i am in early also
Filed 1/7 and accepted 1/23.. No info whatsoever on a DD date or anything and quite frankly, I give up. Here is the email I was just sent.
Dear TaxACT® Customer,
On Monday, January 28, 2013, the IRS announced that it has added Form 8863 to the list of delayed forms that cannot be submitted to the IRS until mid-February (an official date has not been determined). http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/List-of-IRS-forms-that-1040-filers-can-begin-filing-in-late-February-or-into-March-2013
Since the return you have submitted to TaxACT contained Form 8863, Education Credits (American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning Credits), and it was ACCEPTED by the IRS, the IRS will hold it until they are able to process Form 8863 in mid-February. You do not need to take any additional action at this time.
Where’s My Refund?
Since your return was accepted before the IRS announced the processing delay, Where’s My Refund will show that the return has been received. However, progress to the next phase, Refund Approved, will not occur before mid-February when the IRS can begin processing these returns. You will not be given a refund date during this waiting period due to the delayed processing of Form 8863. You do not need to contact the IRS about your return or take any other action.Thank you,
TaxACT Electronic Filing DepartmentMine not processed yet. Spoke with a very nice man, said that if you can print your return transcript your refund is up to be processed to you. Confirmed Where’s My Refund (WMR) & 800-number update nightly, including weekends :)
Hi! I also filed using 8863. I was accepted 1/25 and am still showing processing on wmr and on the hotline. I have been reading about ordering the transcripts, so I gave it a shot. It says my info is incorrect:/ We moved right after tax season last year, so when I put in our old address it logs in but says there is not a transcript available for 2012. Is this because I am still being “held”, or because they havent updated the address? Just curious if anyone else is experiencing the same thing
Just one bar. It must have gotten processed after the nightly WMR update.
IMO there must be a method to the madness. I highly doubt an agency that relies so heavily on precision can act as randomly as many of us perceive. Last year I started a thread entitled “Is there a Pattern” under the username E (I actually went by Typhoon Dragon as well but it’s a long story). Anyway, as I’ve been reading the posts here and elsewhere I realized that in order to determine if there was a pattern at all I would first have to understand what happens during the life cycle of an individual tax return. What’s actually going on between point A (the receipt of our forms at the IRS) and point B (the receipt of our refunds in our accounts)? For people to file and be accepted on the same day yet receive their refunds days or even weeks apart suggests that some returns must take more steps between points A and B than others. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated by me and may prove to be very useful to all of us.
Brandy – WMR status bar only has 3 bars: Received, Approved, Sent – so are you on BAR 1?
I filed this morning around 0945, recieved an email from H&R block at 1016 saying the IRS had accepted my return. WMR site didnt locate my info until 1230 and it says accepted on the bar. Generic message of 21 days. Just FYI for anyone, I will keep you posted for a timetable.
Ok. The WMR says still processing??? Refund Hotline still processing. Mine is going straight to my personal bank. I called the number under contacts with ext 362. I was seriously so shocked. I had been so upset all week because of the IRS and then my school told me my finacial was being held for Pell review two days before disbursement. Just pray. I have been praying my head off so my husband said God had to do something because I was clogging up all his incoming lines LOL.
brandy what number did you call?
Yes, Processing Purgatory is exactly right.
Thanks zo1633 for telling me that there’s no way I’m getting a DD on 2/1 if I was accepted and filed on 1/29. Notice I said IT WOULD BE NICE, not that I actually thought it would happen.
Thanks, though.
SORRY I DIDN’T MEAN TO REPEAT YOUR QUESTIONS
