[MrsWorst]

Called IRS yesterday and was given NO answers concerning my 570/971. Was told to wait 45 DAYS AFTER FEBRUARY 23rd!!! He said if I didn’t hear anything by then to call back. So I called again today and pretended that I had never called before, the woman was a little more helpful… She said that my file was “under review” but that it did not say why?!?!
She said that I should get a letter in the next couple weeks telling me what to do and that if anything on my transcripts change to call back!!!
*sigh* I’m so frustrated!

[Shanni]

I checked my transcript and I dont have the 846 code.I know i have an offset, could this delay my refund

[JL1975]

UPDATE

The Taxpayer Advocate told me I’d be receiving a call today from a case worker, Friday 2/13. When I didn’t receive a call by 3:30 PM, I called the Advocate to find out why I hadn’t received a call. I was told, “Case workers are only available Monday through Thursday.” Then why tell me I’d receive a call on Friday from one?

They told me they found out it is, indeed, an IRS system error… Then told me I need to mail my 1040 form (which the rep even said she was looking at on the computer screen), and that it should take, “2-4 weeks to straighten out,” after they receive the copies I mail them. That’s the SAME amount of time the IRS said they needed, WITHOUT me sending any further copies of my 1040 to them.

I asked why I needed to print and send the exact same thing they already had, and was just told, “We need that.” Common sense = They’re looking at it, why do they need a second copy? I said I’d send it right away, if they could just tell me where to send it. “Oh, no, sir. We’ll be sending out a letter telling you where to send it to. You have to wait until you receive that letter.” WHAT?

OK… “All I want to do is get this taken care of as quickly as possible.”

“Please hold, I’ll transfer you.”

Transferred.

Completely different story. “It’s a system error, and we’re doing everything we can to get it taken care of as quickly as possible… No, why would you think you had to send us a copy of your 1040?… Let me transfer you.”

Transferred. AGAIN.

“I’m sorry, sir, but case workers are only available Monday though Thursday… Call this number…”

“Whose number is that?”

“The case worker assigned to you.”

“But, I thought you said case workers weren’t in on Fridays?”

“That’s correct, sir.”

“Then what good is that going to do me?”

“Is there anything else I can assist you with today?”

“You haven’t assisted me with anything today.”

Bart called diversify at 7 am There was a hold. I was asked several questions like a credit bureau would ask. The agent said she had released the hold and my return should be going back to processing. 6 weeks wait. Thank you for all your kind advise.

[Tracey]

Hi Bart!
Have a question, maybe you can provide some insight.
Filed w/TT 1/29, accepted same day. IRS accepted 2/2. I lostt all my bars in wmr sometime early last week. My transcripts say a negative account balance (the refund) cycle code 20150505 but no 846 code.
I called the IRS and all the woman said she doesn’t see a problem with the return, no hold code. Its pretty much in limbo.
Any ideas?

[Steevo100]

Sent mine 2/10/15 received same day, waiting on ddd. Checked transcripts says code 846 refund approved. Hoping to get ddd soon.

[Anonymous]

We got our Georgia Refund 2 weeks ago. That used to be a good sign that Fed was close, but certainly not this year.

[mekmek24]

my date jus changed back to 2/16? .. not sure whats going on getting frustrated!

[Crosby]

Make sure you have the 846 code.
If you do then you should have it by 2/18 which is Wed.

[CaliDiva]

I made a little progress.

As stated previously, I filed 2/6 and it was accepted within an hour. Viewed wmr that same day and it said accepted as well.

I called the IRS for another issue and the woman advised it was actually received 2/9. I haven’t been able to get transcripts online or over the phone since I filed with the last I checked being last night before bed.

I called 5 minutes ago and was able to order 2014 account transcript but still cannot get one online because of ID theft from 2011. Not sure what this means but it’s a little progress :)

[TTuser]

From what i have been seeing it looks like everyone with a 20150605 code should update tonight with a DDD of 2/19/15. People with a 20150603 DD is 2/17 and people with a 20150604 DD is 2/18. Fingers crossed for 2/19/15!!!

[K.Dozier]

2/6- filed at 4pm said accepted 2/13-called irs and they said I was accepted 2/9 (because it was after 11am on 2/6 it technically didn’t accept until 2/9). Still on first bar. No transcripts available. Its said keep checking wmf. Hoping it updates tonight between 3am-6am.

[bryan]

Received on 2/5/15 but hasn’t changed since. Just a simple return as usual never had this problem before

[Levi]

Did your wmr update?

[Anonymous]

Anyone else receive this message.

We cannot provide any information about your refund. You must wait at least 24 hours after you get the acknowledgement e-mail that your tax return was received by the IRS

Any info? I actually filed 1/29, told it was received 2/2… All my bars disappeared around 2/5.. Today I got the above message..

Super annoyed!

[akm]

I just checked, and my DDD was 2/17/15, but my deposit was sent to my bank and is showing as pending to be released tomorrow…3 days EARLY! HOORAY!

[Anonymous]

@kara Yes, Beer and chips will do…I hope you have enough to last 6 weeks as that is a long ways away :(

I can see if we made the mistake but something on their end is causing us to wait this long is inane!

[Kristi]

I have a DDD of before February 17, 2015 per WMR site. Has anyone actually picked up a check from the office yet?

Filed: 2/6
Accpeted: 2/7

[kara]

I didn’t know what I should bring to this party. Hope beer and chips are cool.
Soooo….yeah I was given the 4-6 week crap since dealing with the identity verification fiasco. Two weeks have almost passed. I’m kinda tempted to file later and by paper next year since this e-file nonsense isn’t all its cracked up to be.

[Anonymous]

Thought I’d chime in…

Filed on 2/5, accepted at 11:23a on 2/6…still at one bar on wmr with code 152

[ggpaul]

my DDD 2/11/15 and still no deposit as of today, I don’t know what is happening the IRS has not send me any notice or anything whatsoever, but when we owe them money they take away your house, car, etc..

[lea]

I received a letter from the irs today stating that I am under review. Filed 01/29 and accepted right away. I claimed the AO credit, which is probably the reason for the review. Any idea how long this process actually takes? The letter says not to call until 60 days from the date of the letter. Do I really have to wait this long?

[Brandon]

Has anyone received their tax refund yet when it was supposed to be deposited on February 11th? I had mine DD to my walmart money card and still haven’t received them and no one can give me any answers, I also cannot get ahold of anyone at the irs to ask what could be going on. I checked to see if I had any error codes but nothing is showing anything so I guess they are just taking forever but Please help if you have any info! (Fingers crossed)

[nick]

I don’t even see a column titled codes. Mine says our names, 20150605, date April 15th and 0.00

[jo]

msnicki, did they only ask that you mail the 1095a form or additional forms?

[Rhiannon]

Ihad to call 18008291040 and go through the busniess taxes option and kept hitting other to talk to someone after 35 minutes that told me my taxes had a 1471 code so i have been on a no post status since 2/5 because of identity protection. I did nothing wrong but they stopped processing cause they thought i was a victim when i wasnt the agent put a note to put it through to finish since i confirmed everything was right and of course she gave me the 6-8 week shpeal. Good luck everyone. I had no transcripts or updates after being accepted 1/30.

I got the same response for my trabscripts but i called and they said it was fine so after waiting 15 days since i was accepted i had to call 18008291040 and go through the busniess taxes option and kept hitting other to talk to someone after 35 minutes that told me my taxes had a 1471 code so i have been on a no post status since 2/5 because of identity protection. I did nothing wrong but they stopped processing cause they thought i was a victim when i wasnt the agent put a note to put it through to finish since i confirmed everything was right and of course she gave me the 6-8 week shpeal. I hope its not that long but try calling and have them search if i didnt i would have never known.

[Diana]

I have been through this 2 years ago and it only took me a week to get my refund after ID verify ! My cousin also took about 6 days after verifying. The 6 weeks in a window frame to keep us from calling so much in between the wait. I am going through it again. I’m sure it will only take up to 7 days. I’m not worried done it and been there.

[Rhiannon]

Please help!

I f/a 1/30
It stopped 2/5
She put a note 2/13

Will i really have to wait 6-8wks? Is there anything i can do? How long is tax code 1471 take when i never got a letter?

[Anonymous]

That’s great news @patientlywaiting15. I’m sure you will see it by tomorrow morning if not sometime this evening. I have seen ppl say theirs hit their account as late as 9 or 10 pm. I switched banks to Huntington since last year, so I have no idea how long they will take on their end.

@Nick from what I have seen on the forums 846 means “refund issued”. Are you looking in the column titled “codes”? My codes are 150, 766, 768, and 846.

[Mykee36]

Simple 1040, accepted 2/4, still on bar on WMR
Every time I try and check transcripts I got as message saying call the IRS identy protection unit at a 1 800 number. Talked to them 4 times, every time told there are no flags on my identy and they have my taes from 2/4. That they just have not been processed. That the message I read is same one everyone gets if refund not processed.

Does everyone get same message if checking transcripts before refund processed? Anyone else get the same message or called IRS on this issue?
I am very frustrated and told have to wait the 21 days…

[Jasmine]

I filed mine Feb 1 got approved within seconds got a date for Feb 11 said it was sent Feb 11 bc its coming from Texas to kentucky I expected it to come today praying it comes tomorrow all my friend got theirs and I’m still left to wait for mine. *Geesshhh what a bummer* last year took all of 4 days to get my paper check this year it’s already been 2 weeks!!! Trying to be patient but with everyone rubbing in that they got theirs I’m not happy at all.

Filed 01/31 accepted 2/1. Tax topic 152. No transcripts, No updates. Guess it’s just a waiting game this year.

[patientlywaiting15]

[Sally Bowman]

Just updating. Filed 1/30, accepted 1/31…. Still only accepted and no updates since.

I’m not really sure about the whole transcript thing. I see some people say it means something and others say it doesn’t. I have not even tried to look at them.

Just wanted to let anyone else who Efiled 1/30 or 1/31 that I am still waiting with no updates at all.

I filed head of household, with 2 dependents….

Praying to hear something soon…

[Alexis]

I thought I was the only one! I field my taxes through taxact on the 25 got accepted by the IRS on the 27th, had the progress bar for a couple of days and since then been nothing but “your tax return is still being processed a refund date will be given when available” its driving me nuts! does anyone know why? or what’s going on? Please and thank you.

[Dell]

Monday is the holiday.

[Anonymous]

[Nick]

I have a cycle code of 20150605 but still a 000, no 846. WMR hasn’t moved passed first bar and I was told no updates will be made this weekend because of the holiday. Should I still hope for it Wednesday even without the 846?

[joe]

Filed 2/6…received 2/6…Apprived 2/10……ddd 2/13….got in my bank 10 am…

[LASHanda]

On my 2013 transcripts i jave a code 922,on2-9-15. Am i pretty much in the clear now or do i have things to worry about. any info or personal experience would be helpful

@Charlene Can you please keep us updated and ill do the same. I have a feeling we will wake up in the morning to good news. After the whole emotional roller-coaster the IRS has taken me on this year, I still choose to believe. lol

[Anonymous]

@Tiffany If it doesn’t show up as a link, copy and paste the url below into your address bar. Once you are on the page click “get transcripts online” and set up an account. You will have to answer questions to prove your identity. They will ask you the purpose for getting transcripts and you will choose federal taxes. If all 4 boxes have 2014, your taxes are complete. Click 2014 in the record of account transcript box. The cycle and other codes are found near the bottom of page 1.

Filed with tt on 2/6 accepted same day. 2/13 No transcript or progress on wmr bar. Refund over $5000 could this be an issue?

Filed my bfs same day and he received refund today…

Getting concerned and impatient!

[Jenna]

Anyone?

[Laura]

I am the same as Crystal.

Filed 1-24-15
Accepted 1-24-15
Transcript as of today had 846 code and date 3-2-15
IRS 2 Go and IRS.Gov still show as processing

I have read some posts that say transcript date is fact and I can count on that where as others say this can change.

I am anxious to know as I have been out of work and have some bills to cover.
Thank you!

[Anonymous]

Hi Bart…I filed my taxes on 1/20 and was accepted 1/21. I had the healthcare penalty so I know that delayed my processing. I finally got a DDD date on 2/6 for 2/11. I still have no refund, nothing on SBBT, but on the WMR it says sent. I checked my transcripts this morning and I had code 841- refund cancelled but WMR still says sent. I called the IRS and they said im under a 60 day review because it looks like theres been some kind of identity theft or something like that. I’m freaking out.

[maria]

checked it. said that it was approved and it should drop 5 working days . it was approved on 10. now has anyone been having issues with federal not dropping when it said it would ?

[filer2014]

Hi bart –
So I could finally see transcripts today with an as of march 2 date.
Until yesterday I could see them with a date of as of feb 16th. I had called in and verified my identity last week and was told to wait 6 weeks.

I saw my transcripts today and they had a 570 code on them. No 970 code. what does this mean? Im i done processing?I had education credits and return also showed new address i filed from. Do I need to wait 6 more weeks?

[BartD]

sebastian no it actually can delay it and stop the refund from being issued that has happened to another person.. and delayed his over a week even though he has the 846 refund issued code. please call the hotline and verify that it says no offsets

nsee thats a new one for me… CALL the irs let me know what they say

memememe yeah i would call the irs and tell me what they say… because there is something wrong at this point that you need to address maybe id verify

angela thats good you should have your money by wednesday and wmr should update tonight

Davidabear no wednesday you should get your money

tonji no you will have an update tonight or this weekend with a ddd of wednesday the 3/2 is max by date

Jacqueline well it all depends on what the notice is of its like a 4464c notice then expect 6-8 weeks if its for id veryify it can be 2-6 weeks and so on…. you need to find out what notice was being sent to you

cs thank you and yes very good news!!!!!!! wednesday is your money in the pocket date

scgirlwaiting no they dont have a specific time frame… but them not changing might mean that they are working on yours and just not updated it yet

[Anonymous]

@Jac – Well that is disappointing to say the least. I spoke with a gentleman who said they would be sending me some paperwork in the mail first and once I respond then ey would send me a check. Sounds like I won’t be getting one for a good while. I tried having it direct deposited on my Ealgreens prepaid card and according to the irs, the bank rejected the deposit. It’s very frustrating that this is happening to do many people his year.

Has anyone experienced this before or already and received their check in the mail?

[Tracy]

Exact same as some of you, cycle 20150404 with codes 570 and 971, I called on the 20th day (Monday) and was told that I should be receiving a letter any time, it had been mailed. He said the letter just states there is no action needed from me at this time and I should hear by APRIL 2nd!!! WOW, if they were working on it, why so long? I would received a letter stating what I need or my refund. I’ve been at the same address and same filing status for 5 years. I had an additional dependent is the only change. This is way beyond frustrating.

[MM]

I filed and was accepted on 1/20. On 2/9 I received a letter about the 1095-A and 8962 forms and faxed them in the next day. I don’t know how long to wait before I should call to check the status and see if received my fax. Does anyone know if a Tax Advocate would be able to help in this situation (with hardship)? This has been so frustrating. I have never had to wait more than 7-10 days for my refund.

[LABsMomma]

I know it’s early yet BUT I figured we should start a thread for us :)

[sebastian]

Hi Bart! I am able to view my transcripts this morning…have cycle 20150605 and refund issued…Owe some back childsupport, but I dont see it being deducted. Is there away that can change between now and wed.?…or should I expect to see my refund deposited?

[the yetty]

i got accepted on 2/3 ,had 1 bar for a week,then for the past 4 days ive had 0 bars ,the tax topic 152 is still there,the refund amount is gone,and it says still processing and will give date when available. If i use my wifes ss number ,it shows 1 bar. I tried getting into my transcripts but couldnt remember my info,so reset it and used the wrong address and had to call the identity protection unit. But,i called the transcript line to see if i could order a 2014 that way,but every option says no information. Ugh ,im at a loss here,the people on the phone wont tell me anything,this is torture.

[Anonymous]

Hello Bart,

Do you have any idea what this is? My bars disappeared around 2/5, I filed 2/2…

Today I check and I received this message..

We cannot provide any information about your refund. You must wait at least 24 hours after you get the acknowledgement e-mail that your tax return was received by the IRS

Still have refund amount and tax topic 152..

Really confused… What could this mean? Anything I should do?

[Janice]

Awesome busy momma!! Mine was mailed today! 3 days? Not bad! Thank you for updating!

[Anonymous]

Checked WMR… This is now my message…

We cannot provide any information about your refund. You must wait at least 24 hours after you get the acknowledgement e-mail that your tax return was received by the IRS

Refund amount there and tax topic 152…

Still no bars.. What is this about?

[Kim]

Hey Lala http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

Just beware… they keep saying that I can’t verify my identity so I can’t access my transcripts.

I had a 2/11 DDD. My bank (M&T) says there is no record of a deposit being sent. I know I had my account numbers correct, and the account is in MY name. So I have no idea where my refund is. I am very sick and need this money now! I am beyond frustrated with this! I am changing my paychecks so no tax money comes out. No more giving the government an interest-free loan and then waiting for repayment! Ridiculous!

[christina]

so i checked my transcript today because i still haven’t received my money and now under the 846 code there’s a new 841 refund cancelled code! does anyone have any idea what this is????

[Kelli Hardge]

I filed my taxes on 2/4/15 and it was approved on 2/4/15.

WMR states … refund is processing … date will post as soon as one is available.

Transcript date was 20150604. Code 846

Refund posted at 9:14pm today (2/13/14) on my existing NETSPEND card.

WMR states my dd date is 2/18/2014 … I got it way early.

I hope this information helps.

Good luck.

[LABsMomma]

@kelli was it super late last night? I have the 0605 and my bank doesn’t usually hold deposits so kinda hoping it comes today!
