Got my 846, DDD 2/22/23

Pather, no WMR update yet, no return in bank yet

[Jim Z]

Got my 846, 2/22/23 DDD

Nothing in bank yet

Good luck all

[Jim Z]

Hey all haven’t posted this year yet, just lurking.

Just checked transcripts, got my 846, for 2/22/23

Pather, nothing in WMR yet (but I always get it before that updates), nothing pending on my bank

[Jim Z]

Oh and just to update, I literally JUST got my refund deposited.

So.

I claimed EITC and ACTC.
Filed w/ TurboTax accepted by IRS on 2/10/2021
Transcripts show 846 w/ ddd 2/22/2021
WMR says one bar and says “is processing.”

I bank with PNC and did not have fees taken out, so no SBTPG.

[Jim Z]

If you had fees taken out, paid from refund, your deposit first goes to Santa Barbara Tax Payer Group (SBTPG). There, they take the fees from TurboTax (plus their own fee that is in the TT fine print) and pass the rest of your refund on to your account, almost always they send it same day they receive.

[Jim Z]

If your transcript right now says 846 and 2/22/21, then it’s for sure that your bank has the deposit right now. Most banks won’t release this until the 2/22 date, some will. Almost all credit unions will have released the deposits yesterday.

[Jim Z]

I see a lot of people confused over a few things. You are a “pather” if you claimed eitc or actc. Also, WMR almost never will update prior to you receiving your refund. It is a very flawed tool. Every year, for the last six years, I have my refund dd in traditional bank account before WMR ever updates.

[Jim Z]

I am pather filed TT and accepted 2/10. I did a free file so no fees taken out and no SBTPG involvement. WMR has 1 bar. Transcripts have 846 ddd for 2/22/21. I bank with PNC. I’ll update once it hits my bank.

SBTG still giving the error this morning. Seems like they don’t want us to know they have it!

In my experience with them the last few years, that’s normal when they are updating statuses

[Jim Z]

A “pather” is someone who falls under the set of laws known as the path (protection against tax hikes) act which, passed in 2015, requires the irs to hold until Feb 15 returns for anyone claiming Earned Income credit or additional child tax credit. While this is irritating for us, the act also secures the future of these credits for those eligible and is really necessary in keeping the credits refundable and of relevant amounts in the future

[Jim Z]

Don’t freak out, this happens often. The site goes down, they can’t find your info suddenly, lots of stuff. It’s not a big deal

[Jim Z]

I got my 846 yesterday with ddd 2/22/21. Anyone have a date for this week yet?

[Jim Z]

Brandi wrote:

If seen a lot of ddd for 2/22. Mi e says 2/24 any suggestions?

Yeah just celebrate that 846. Knowing is half the battle

Acct transcript as of date 03/08

846 code

Pather

Does this mean my ddd is 2/22 or 3/8?

Im confused because my last year return had the same as of and processing dates…

Your ddd would be 2/22 in this instance. In my experience, the as of is typically not the same as your processing date

According to an email I received from H&R Block, any filers with EIC and/or ACTC; The IRS will not start issuing payments until Mid-Feb. Your federal refund should appear in your bank account by the first week of March.
You’ll be able to check your federal refund status at Where’s My Refund? beginning February 22.

Pssst…. It’s mid February right now!

[Jim Z]

Yep here again. I still don’t feel fully recharged from last time. Here’s hoping we get this over with quick. How bout a 2/15 deposit? Hehe

[Jim Z]

If you had no credits affected by PATH act then it’s definitely possible people are getting theirs this early.

[Jim Z]

Usually take 3-4 weeks. I have no clue how it’s going to go this year though.

[Jim Z]

My point is, the IRS deserves every bit of criticism and impatience directed towards them. Maybe not the guys at the bottom reviewing returns, but, like most other government entities, pockets are being lined, systems being milked, and it’s sure not the taxpayers who benefit.

[Jim Z]

The fact of the matter is that the IRS is a bloated, dysfunctional bureaucracy. There is absolutely no reason why, in 2021, they cannot simply send these returns within hours of processing. There is absolutely no good reason why they only process electronic deposits and paper checks one day per week each. There’s surely not any delay on them accepting money, now is there?

[Jim Z]

I mean … No offense @Carol but I disagree. There aren’t a ton of changes, there are a few. The IRS has been doing electronic returns since 1986. Unless there is a problem flagged by the system, human eyes never see your return. The process is fully automated. And to make changes, they don’t have to reprogram anything. Their software has come a long way from dial up modems 25 years ago. It is indeed almost as simple as changing a few parameters and flipping a switch.

[Jim Z]

Funny isn’t it? The year we need this money the most we are delayed. Of course.

Yay! I know you’ve been on this forum for a bit!
Thanks for sharing
Can I ask what time you got your deposit?

Roughly 7 am. Hold on ppl it’s coming

[Jim Z]

Sorry for not posting the site keeps going down for me idk if this will even make it thru. Anyway I posted earlier I got mine and I had the whole not available and TT fees taken out etc.

Just wanted to report that around twenty – thirty people on reddit posting similar. I think we’re all good. My best guess is ignore the irs, PLZ REMEMBER THEY ARE KNOWN TO SAY ONE THING AND DO THE OPPOSITE!! So never take what they say as final. IMO TT has more to lose and will get this sorted.

[Jim Z]

Having posting issues. Maybe cuz I’m using caps at times I’m not sure. TL;DR : I got my dd, had status not available (still do) and know of 30+ others on reddit, twitter, and personally who got theirs thus far today. They are coming

[Jim Z]

Also, saw a ton of other ppl on twitter and reddit who got theirs from TT with trad banks and various cards alike. All had status unavail. Irs is full of it.

[Jim Z]

Ugh. Trying to post but my posts aren’t coming thru. I had status not available. I filed TT fees taken out. Got my dd today to trad bank (pnc). Got the TT email last night.

[Jim Z]

I am now thinking they are redepositing only to people that had a date. The ones that have not available are still screwed. i hope I am wrong.

Thankfully you are not correct. I got my dd today and know of 30+ others who have gotten it and still have status not available.

[Jim Z]

Mods… Why TF are my posts being moderated and half of them not even showing up. Weird. I thought I understood the moderation methods on this forum… Apparently not

[Jim Z]

Hi all. So. Filed TT, fees taken out, no card – dd to bank, status not available on WMP, transcript shows 1/4 dd code 846, spoke with both TT and IRS agent who both stated they were sending correct dd after SBTPG rejected, received email from TT stating same thing last night at 9:05pm, as of this morning, PENDING DD correct amount of stimulus, pending for tomorrow in PNC checking acct.

Hold on guys they’re coming

[Jim Z]

For those who haven’t received the email from TT:
Do you guys normally receive emails from them during tax season or any emails from them period?

I have only ever received an email from them leading up to tax time and this is not the typical. I fully believe they are sending this to ppl who had fees taken out and have status not available message

[Jim Z]

Those are generic emails from TT my son got 1 just like I did but he had a simple return no fees no dependents and he filed using TT free edition and got his 2nd stimulus on December 30th but he still got the same email

This email is different than the initial email they sent out last week. It is in reference to the news article they posted earlier today

Question…..those that are getting the emails from TT, where you having the funds loaded to a TT card or just a regular bank account/Paycard

I got the email and I filed with TT, fees taken out of return, direct deposit to my PNC checking account. No issues with first stimulus or prior tax refund. Transcripts read 1/4 dd code 846 as of 1/3, can’t get into the site now to check it a second time. Also I got Payment #2 – Status Unknown on the tool

[Jim Z]

Received an email one minute ago from TT stating that stimulus will be deposited into my correct account. I’m feeling very good about it. Hang tight everyone I think we’re good!

Shit I’m sorry. Emotions are high and I just posted that new article from TT so I thought you were referring to that. Though the irs did release that on their website
@ Jim … Lol thanks for calling me out on that oopsy my bad

Thanks for the TT article. You improved my day about 100x. Was getting ready to sell my belongings lol. Now at least I will hold on for a few days.

[Jim Z]

Sharon wrote:

@siduious
So your saying that since the article was released 2 hours ago you spoke with an irs rep and a turbo tax rep. Now that’s where you call BS!

Hes clearly talking about the release from the IRS which has been out almost 24hrs now

…. furthermore we all know the irs is shit. We can’t expect them to know what’s going on. Even if they post official wording on its dumbass website. The website is trash. Everything is TRASHHHHH.

Literally every year they say one thing and say another. They are notorious for saying whatever just to shut people up

[Jim Z]

Neither is coming you need to claim the stimulus on your tax return. Yes it’s ridiculous.

@JimZ I don’t get it my transcript says it was issued on 1/4/20 but the get my payment tool can’t give any information I used TT. My first payment went through ok now this nonsense.

Same exact situation for me. My guess is that it was deposited 1/4… To SBTPG. I’m hoping that the IRS is full of shit, as they’re well known to be, but not sure.

[Jim Z]

FYI Im pretty pissed now cuz of this

I am so sorry to share that no, they will not be sending it by mail. We will need to claim it on our tax returns. Assuming we have internet access to do som

Yeah i got that same message and i know im eligible. They are full of it bro-ham. Just be patient call you lawyer like i did im going to file a suit against turbo tax for negligence

Bro, might wanna save your money. Turbo tax has no responsibility whatsoever to fix the IRS’s fuckup. Not being shitty, I’m just sayin, you’d spend a lot of time and money on it. And also, fuck turbo tax, it’s just that theres no legal case there

[Jim Z]

I believe we just need to be patient. It’s, what, day two of payments being released? We on this forum tend to go a little nuts over any theory that pops up.

[Jim Z]

Just to clarify, IRS will not be sending payments to places such as SBTPG. If the Get My Payment tool states “No Info” it simply means your info is not yet available.

[Jim Z]

I’m not sure, but I have four kids and a wife and mine isn’t here yet so you may be on to something

I just spoke to a rep from IRS .. they said if you are getting the “not available “ message on payment 2 it simply means they haven’t processed payment yet. They said if you don’t have it by Jan 15 then that’s when we need to call back and worry.
But if we got the 1st payment in April and we still have the same bank info .. then we are good .. just the waiting game now

Thank you very much for this update. Thanks for calling and sharing

[Jim Z]

Hey there. I got this same message. My transcripts show my stimulus amount DDD 1/4/21 code 846. Still no deposit, which I expect to be direct deposited to my checking account.

[Jim Z]

Lurrch wrote:

I’m not gonna bother with getting a transcript right now because by the time it comes in the mail, I’d probably already have my payment.

They do transcripts online that’s how I got mine

[Jim Z]

I saw that too but do not take that as definite. I believe they just haven’t updated all of the information yet. I also got No Info available for my second payment, however, my transcripts show my stimulus amount, ddd of 1/4, and code 846 – all clear signs that my payment is approved and sent.

I think we just need to chill and wait

[Jim Z]

@iloathetaxseason chris22 is gonna be so mad hes getting his refund prior to March. He was really set on that

[Jim Z]

Very interesting. Seems like you’re getting yours just as fast as anyone who filed early.

[Jim Z]

Wow seeing that 846 is a huge relief!

Sbtpg is saying I don’t have an account with them… I’m gonna just assume they’re being jacka sses.

It’s great having a ddd.

I’d like to dedicate this moment to @chris22, the biggest douche I know on this forum. I’m sure he’s feeling really upset right now that everyone’s getting their big fatty refunds prior to March.

[Jim Z]

Haha hey all. I took a break from this thread for a while cuz negative attitudes were really getting to me. It’s great to scroll down and see some positivity! I seriously can’t stand the people who come on here and t roll everyone waiting for their refunds.

Anyway, this WILL be a good weekend @perry ! Payday today and I took the weekend off work. Paid time off is the best. Going to be hanging out with my kiddos and sleep in on Sunday for the first time in about four months.

[Jim Z]

This is solid info thanks for sharing.

[Jim Z]

@frustrated in Texas NO. Your refund is not for your children. The credit is to offset the expenses of paying for a child. I would never just give my child the money. I’d tell my mother in law to give her some money if she’s so concerned. Sounds like a crappy mil to me lol

[Jim Z]

Hey @uncle samm your “juicy smolyay” SSN joke is f’n really dumb. Nobody thinks you’re funny.

[Jim Z]

Lmao “giveth”

[Jim Z]

@alex what are your sources for knowing no deposits until after 22nd? Serious question

[Jim Z]

I think it just means Santa Barbara is ready for your refund. The IRS will send it on their time unfortunately. I’m hoping this starts really dropping in a couple days.

But it’s a great thing that sbtpg updated for you to show your info. Doesn’t mean the refund is coming earlier, but it does mean things are going normal for you

[Jim Z]

@missy jfc your poor brother in law! Surrounded by all those women all the time. Please buy him a beer for me when you get that return

[Jim Z]

Chris22 is the worst

[Jim Z]

Is it bad if both are itchy lmao

[Jim Z]

Hey I just wanted to clarify a couple things and add my 2¢.. @mamabear they will not be skipping anyone that has a processing date of 2/17.

I wanted to point out that the processing date does not always matter. For me

2019 processing date 2/27 and received refund 2/22

2018 processing date 2/10 received refund 2/23

2017 processing date 2/18 received refund 2/22

[Jim Z]

@jerseygirl02 literally as I read that my right hand started itching bad.

[Jim Z]

@alex7661 it only goes to sbtpg if you had fees taken out

[Jim Z]

@acon this year the IRS will be issuing refunds on Saturdays, but not Sundays
