[Taxtimr]

Btw, I’m weekly every year…and past three years cycle code is always 0605

[Taxtimr]

Same boat. Filed 2/4..WMR on 1 bar. Transcripts say N/A…wage and income show no return ever filed. I’m pretty sure we are weekly and will update overnight tonight with transcripts, not WMR and will have a DDD of Wednesday feb 18th

[SpicyFishTacos]

In the same boat…I’m thinking update tonight or Friday then DD on 2/17 (2/16 is a Federal Holiday)

[Pikkin]

Hello Bart. So I tried to see if I can update my information on IDverify online. I could not. So I called the department that handles these issues. The woman I spoke to checkd and said my return was not sent to her section. But instead my return was ‘rejected’. Not to me, just rejected out of their system on 2/5 (the day I lost my bars) and now it has to go through the process again and it will take 6-8 weeks. Seriously?!?

Filed 1/15 (EITC, edu, child, workplace ins), acc 1/16 (according to TT) and still waiting…..

[Sabena31]

Yes I forgot about the options. I hit 3,1 and when I called back with follow up questions about a dad date to release the funds I hit 3,3

[MELISSA]

MY DD WAS 2/11 AND STILL DO NOT HAVE MINE YET.

[bob]

I filed and accepted 1/27/15. still have 1 bar and “no return filed” on transcript. wth could be the hold up? transcript says “As of Feb. 16, 2015”. what does this mean?

[dezirae]

Filed 1/30 TT said my return was accepted but wmr still says no information

[Anonymous]

After reading many posts on this site, we called the IRS since it is now been over 21 days. Our transcript has codes 150-806-766-768-570-971. I have studied up on the codes and know that the last two are the troublesome ones. The IRS said that according to the date by the 971 that the letter will be sent then, for whatever reason. Then it will be 45-60 days that we may see our refund. By the way e-filed with Tax Act on 1/20 accepted within an hour. We got our Georgia refund within 10 days.
These “random” reviews are a bit crazy, or is it really that they are having that many issues at getting things caught up.

[Corel]

Mine was DD 10.02.15, and all 3 bars on WMR, but no money yet on Walmart money caed. Super frustrated!

[Patient x]

Am I the only one who didn’t recurve their funds yet?

Sbtp shows they sent money yesterday 2-11 but I have no deposit yet!

Greendot by way of Bancorp bank

[Anonymous]

I really does seem to get slower and slower every year! Last year, we had to wait about 6 weeks to get our refund! I just about drove myself insane waiting. That was the longest we’ve ever had to wait and I’m just hoping that this year isn’t going to be a repeat of that! What ever happened to the days of getting your refund within just a couple of weeks or less??? I know that it hasn’t quite been a full 2 weeks since we filed, but after our experience last year and how long we had to wait, I can’t help but be impatient and frustrated!

[Anonymous]

I filed on Jan 29 , accepted on the 30th. It has been sitting at “Return processed but refund not approved ” ever since. On Monday Feb 9th I received a letter requesting hard copies of all W2s. I sent them off immediately.

Today I got through to a human (yay) and she told me that Oklahoma was one of the 18 states affected by the Turbo Tax fraud issues. I happened to file Turbo Tax this year. For security purposes they are requesting W2 verification on random people, especially Turbo Tax users. That is what is holding up our refund, she told me it may take several more weeks to process once they receive our hard copies. Oh well.

[Wendy]

Hello Bart,

First I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to answer all of these question; that is very nice of you!
Now for my question: I filed on 2/4 @ 6:00 pm, accepted at 6:45 pm. After reading on this as well as other forums, I have discovered I am in the “weekly cycle” (05). I still only have one bar on WMR, and all transcripts are N/A. I am unsure how the weekly cycle works and was wondering if you could explain it. I am thinking I should see some movement either tonight or tomorrow night, if not, I probably will not see anything until either next Thursday or Friday, is this correct?

Thanks again!!

[Jenni]

Reading the other threads… there seems to be hope. I remember “back in the day” I would get my refunds super quick. It seems the more money I make, the longer it takes.

[Jason]

Anyone update from those that filed on 2/4. I’m still only showing accepted and my transcript is N/a.

[Tallahassee]

@ Mina I called the Taxpayer Adovate line. If its been over 21 ddays they can assign you an TA and give you some insight as to what’s holding up your return. But if it hasn’t been 21 days you have to do a little prying from the IRS. Also the TA only helps if you have an hardship :(. Anyway the Taxpayer Advocate number is 1-877-777-4778. Just to be sure the IRS number is 1-800-829-1040 (1,2,2,4,1 are the prompts to reach a live human)

[Mina]

Sweet! What number did you call? I want to call today. I hate not knowing!!

[Audrey]

Filed 1/31 finally given DDD of 2/17! Post updates here:)

[Aja]

I just checked our card and there is nothing pending! The rep I talked to said it updates at 10pm PST so I’m praying by in the morning it will be there.

[Gemmi]

Filed on 2/4 (at night) and only have one bar. Found out yesterday that I have an offset. Called IRS and they said that the offset won’t delay my refund, but I’m not sure. I almost always have my refund within a week of acceptance. My offset is from some NYS taxes I owe. Just filed my state return yesterday and it says it’s in the final stages of processing. Hoping that I get a DDD soon.

[raemarie]

Anyone else not have anything deposited ? And nothing pending. I bank at a smaller local bank. Used TT had no fees.

[skschavez]

Filed 2/6 around 4:00pm (technically a 2/7), accepted 20 mins later.
Where’s my refund shows 1 bar and I cannot order transcripts. Hoping to see some movement before the week end’s. A DDD would be nice.

[Tallahassee]

@ Mina I filed 1/20. WMR bars disappeared 2/2 and gave me the msg “Your refund is still being processed a date will be given when available” No transcripts or anything. After countless calls to the IRS getting no information. My WMR status changed this morning to “we have recieved your return and its being processed”. I called my advocate and she advised me that my refund was hung up due to verifying my info (I have a ID theft indicator) but someone got to my return and fixed whatever it was that was delaying it. She said it was corrected on the 10th. and now it looks like I will get my refund by next Friday (Thank God!) The wait is almost over folks. However she did say some people aren’t going to be handled as fast as mine. Some won’t get their refunds until after July.

[Anonymous]

Bart,

From my understanding of the manual, the standard IRS policy for “identity verifying” returns is 14 days before they are either given a 70 day freeze or released to process in the cycle they are in. Many of us who filed on 1/20 are being told it was actually accepted 1/22 on their end. The past few times I spoke with reps, they confirmed they actually pulled my return on 2/5 to begin processing. This is exactly 14 days from the 1/22 date they use for acceptance!!! I already know I’m a weekly update (05) from the last TA I talked to, would this mean that an update tonight could be expected?

[Mina]

Anyone get any good news today?

[Tay]

Any updates? People are posting while waiting but once they get the check we get no updates letting us know how it went. Please try to follow up even after u get ur money.

[Anonymous]

@ Jenni – Same situation here! We filed on 2/1 via TaxAct and were accepted immediately. My brother-in-law also filed on 2/1 also using TaxAct and he had his refund in less than a week! He got it that Friday, the 6th! Unbelievable!

[NotThatStressed]

Refund suppose to be 02/13/15
Nothing as of yet . Using serve and no fees taking out. I’m also one of the ones who never get a early deposit

[BartD]

Sc you can call the irs and ask them for ur local TA and they will provide you with a number to call

[TXmomma]

Who has used HigherOne to get their DD? Did it come in early or on the day it said on WMR?
First year putting it onto my HigherOne card and am nervous about it now!
Thanks!

[Anonymous]

filed/accepted 1/22
bars went missing the week after that
transcripts N/A

I called yesterday, and the rep was extremely nice and helpful and told me that there was a math error and that it would take 4-8 weeks from when the error was found (he told me it was found on 2/2).

[scgirlwaiting]

Thanks Bart!

How do I get a Tax Advocate? The IRS “appoints” one??? Sorry, never had to have one.

[Jenni]

Same boat. Filed HOH, 2 kids on 2/1 thru Turbo Tax. Was accepted within minutes.
WMR still shows processing. N/A on transcripts. Frustrating. Brother filed same day and got there’s within the week!

[destiny]

I filed January 26 and was accepted hours later. I just called and asked them what was going on and she said she couldn’t see anything on my return. This is my first time filing. What does it mean when you can’t see anything on the return??

[Bobby]

I got the same this morning. I was accepted 2/3, I had one bar and it was all missing as of yesterday. Was able to get transcripts today with cycle date 20150604, 846 Refund issued. I believe that’s a DDD of 02/17/2015 – Hopefully WMR updates tonight.

[Bobby]

Filed 2/3, accepted an hour later.

Bars went missing 2/11 with transcripts N/A
Today the bars are still missing with the message your refund is still being processed…. Tax topic 152 still. Checked transcripts which are now avalable. Shows refund issued and cycle 20150604. Hoping WMR updates tonight.

[Memphismom]

No update for me either. Transcript still says N/A. I’m starting to think I wouldn’t be able to see them even if they were available because I can’t view the older ones. I get an error 122 code.

I wonder why some people have the amount missing and some don’t. Or why some still have topic 152 and others don’t.

I think I’m a weekly so I prolly wont get any type of update until Friday maybe Saturday morning if I will get one.

Someone on TurboTax forum who’s bars went missing just got a ddd today for 2/17. So I’m a little hopeful. :-/……just q little LOL

[BartD]

tallahassee no it means that your refund has still not been fully processed…… you wont get a dd untill the transcripts are fully completed

TXtaxpayer you really need to see that account transcript to see whats going on at this point

Amber let me know what the TA says

[BartD]

scgirlwaiting yes it depends on how quick you respond to the letter for wage income and how quick your employers do as well

Syoun as of now there is nothing to worry about but if you dont get an update next week i suggest calling… and the verification of transcripts have nothing to do with the return…

Angela because he was in it last year it can delay your return up to 2 extra weeks,,, regardless of the pin you still can be flagged

[Deveney]

@Jinxd I’m in the same cycle code with a 570 date of 2-23 on my transcripts. I just wanted to ask you if you think they will wait until 2-23 to update? I’m confused over your statement of a refund “Someday” Do you have a gut feeling of when you might receive a refund?

[Anonymous]

Still no update. Bars are still missing, refund amount still missing, and still have topic 152. Transcripts still say N/A. We filed and were accepted on 2/1 and bars went missing Sunday night/Monday morning. So frustrating. :(

[scgirlwaiting]

Unfortuntaly, I can’t get that page to come up on Facebook. :(

[taxonomy]

Not “everybody” who filed and received on 1-23 has been “lucky”.
Tomorrow is day 21 for me and it has never taken more than 10 days, usually less than a week for me.
I can only guess this:
ACA added a burden to the system
Staff cuts made it far worse
Massive fraud caused an high level decision to cripple the system
Multiple mistakes on the IRS end
Unwilling to admit error or clueless of it

I’d go further and say that people without refunds yet were not “re-sequenced” or pulled up idVerify – more like everyone was scuttled and the people who *have* gotten refunds were randomly pulled for manual processing.

They are not 1 day behind on day 22, they are really more like 11 days and the “cushion” has run out on them.

Of course that is all hyperbole and conjecture (BS) without proof, but *something has happened this year. I realize that most people abandon this site as soon as they get paid or announce they got paid, and that leaves the voices of those who haven’t been paid back yet – BUT I don’t buy it. Something huge is amiss (and it ain’t just o-care)

Rant over – but never again for me. I was an idiot and counted on it. Some people simply NEED it and these delays create hardship

[lala]

Yeah due dat tmrw it already been sent to bank it probably be available tmrw. Sbbt had already took there sum out TurboTax too and bank fee too

[A]

Filed 2/4 accepted same day no update on WMR!

[scgirlwaiting]

Bart:

I did speak with a representative yesterday regarding the 1121 Code and the refund cancelled. (841, I believe). The only thing she would tell me is the return was pulled for review and we would receive either a letter 4464C or a CP 05 letter and it would take 60 days. She would not elaborate on anything further.

I found this on the IRS website from one of their manuals. She told me this exact thing.

**********
There is a pending P- freeze An open IDRS control with category code PFRZ The P- freeze will post the next cycle and a Letter 4464C or CP 05, Information Regarding Your Refund, notice will be issued.
If the taxpayer is calling about a refund, advise the taxpayer of the normal processing time. Refer to IRM 21.4.1.3, Refund Inquiry Response Procedures, for processing time frames.
Note:

Integrity & Verification Operation (IVO) involvement indicates possible Identity (ID) Theft. Therefore, if the caller is requesting an address change, inform the caller to complete and submit a Form 8822, Change of Address. Inform the taxpayer they can obtain a copy of Form 8822 by going to http://www.irs.gov or offer to mail the information to them.

Could it really take that stinking long??? :(

[lamoney0409]

LOL, I asked the same question… someone said press 3, then 3 again (ask more questions) GOOD LUCK!!

[DomoniqueNicole]

Anybody with account now debit card with a ddd of 2/13/15 recieve funds on card yet

[ggpaul]

my DDD 2/11/15 Netspend card still no deposit as of today, check WMR I have 3 bars now. IRS is taking their time I guess… any one knows what is going on?

[Aja]

Mine hasn’t deposited early either! I was hoping lol. Lord I hope it does come tomorrow like they said!

[Amyamy]

Still no money for me.

[Lew]

Accepted 2/2 DDD date of 2/11 wmr changes to 3 bars over night. I don’t need the money but I want it now BC it’s supposed to be there lol still nothing as of 8am pst. I’m sure we’ll all wake up happy Friday morning. Good luck to all

[Rob]

Filed and was accepted on the 2/2. On 2/9 my bars went away. Along with my refund amount. I had the topic 152. I see I am not alone here! First time its ever happened to me. The one Bar did stay up there for 6 days them BAM gonzo.

[Anonymous]

So I filed 1/29, only to find out I wasn’t accepted til 2/2. 0.00s on acct trans, others n/a, filed via TT. Now when I called because of an issue concerning my 2013, I asked if my 2014 was on hold due to this issue. Rep puts me on hold for about 7 minutes, comes back and says first that I’ve been set back a cycle, and that I’ve also been randomly selected for review.

How true is this? What does ‘set back a cycle’ mean? I am still one bar with WMR, and was only able to see acct trans on 2/6. Does a cycle mean a week? Can I very possibly expect an update tonight/Friday?

[Anonymous]

yea. I’m holding out hope for today as well. But friday is when i absolutely need it. Still praying

[Tallahassee]

I filed 1/20. WMR bars disappeared 2/2 and gave me the msg “Your refund is still being processed a date will be given when available” No transcripts or anything.

[sarah]

I hope 2/13 gets deposited today, some others received two or three days early but no I am never that lucky. Hah. Still at two bars wmr but I don’t expect that to change it never changes for me until after I already have the refund. So it’s a waiting game can’t really check anything Cept here! Luck to all!

[AndrewInFlorida]

@Douglas. What makes you think we will get updates today or tomorrow? Just curious if you know something we dont. It sure would be a life saver!

[wantmyrefund]

So I filed on 1/20 with HRB and was told irs accepted on 1/20. I have no bars on WMR and it just says “Your refund is being processed…” Last night I created an account and tried to access transcripts. Site told me to call the Identity Theft line. Just spoke to them. They didn’t tell me much. They just said it’s been flagged and under review, but it’s not because of multiple returns. I’m guessing it is because I moved back in November. In between moving I got a PO Box and somehow the IRS has that PO Box address on file. My return is very simple, so I’m not sure why it should be such a hold up. My W2 is from the same company as last year and refund is being deposited into same bank account as last year. Of course I’m making the assumption it’s being reviewed for possible Identity Theft and not other reasons. One weird thing is IRS did tell me they didn’t accpet my refund until 1/22 even though I got an email from HRB saying they accepted it on 1/20. Who knows… I’ve never had issues with getting a refund before. I hope this doesn’t drag out too long.

[sherrie1]

Has anyone heard of any issues with WMR or delays with IRS? I usually file same time every year and I always have some kind of date on website or something by this time (9 days since filed)….Actually, I usually have my refund by Valentines Day…..I guess IRS does not want to be my Valentine :)

[johnjohnfl]

Yes Im on same situation. Filed on 1/10 no letters I decided to call last Monday and id was verified. 6 weeks he said and keep waiting. No changes on wmr nothing. It is really frustrating

[kevin k]

filed on January 19th. call the IRS today because I hadn’t heard anything regarding my refund so far. the Where’s My Refund website told me they didn’t have any information and I should wait until after my returns have been submitted. after 48 minutes of being on hold I finally spoke to a human. The woman informed me that the IRS had just received my return yesterday February 10th, and that what most likely had happened was that my refund was submitted and rejected and the tax preparer had just resubmitted it to the IRS. so now the wait continues all over again for me

[Anonymous]

Refund was sent on 2/11 still nothing posted to my Jackson Hewitt card. I called and asked what bank they use and he didn’t even know. How can he not?? Anyone out there know what bank they use?

[Kwilson82]

I got the same message about calling and pressing # 3, but then there are more options. . .. which one are you all pressing? 1, 2 or 3 ???

[Christy]

I have the same thing on my transcript…. Really hoping we get our refund soon!!!

[ACowboysWife]

Accepted 2/6 at 5:36pm CST, one bar, no transcripts. :/

[Domonique]

Ddd should of been 2/13/15 mine is posted to republuc bank just waiting on accont now to get my funds

[Anonymous]

Lets keep each other updated for when our banks post our refunds

[Jinxd]

E-filed with IS through Tax Act on 1/28, accepted within minutes but have a received date of 2/2. Transcripts became available 2/6 with the expected 570 code, cycle 20150505 and date 2/23.
WMR has stayed at one bar, the normal one liner (processing, blah, blah, 21 days) and shows full refund amount. I got concerned after realizing that my IS form doesn’t show on my transcripts and called yesterday… Talked to a very nice gentleman who informed me that it won’t (and then I did what I should have done to begin with and checked my transcripts from the last time I filled IS, it doesn’t show on those either). He said it has already been processed, it’s my husbands debt but I’m the only one with income from last year so it was pushed through and my account is not currently showing an offset so the entire amount should be coming back to me. Someday.
My refund is still on hold and will not be released yet despite my return and the IS being cleared =(
I’m not flagged for review, no calculation errors or other offsets, etc. Apparently they’re just holding on to it because they can. He was very apologetic but not any help after that point. I’m impatient and irritated as hell, especially knowing it’s all done and ready to go but probably won’t be released for at least another month for no reason at all.

[star]

got the same thing,,,,filed 2-2

[jasiely]

u have to call to verify your identity

[jasiely]

same here , any updates?

[Brian]

What’s your guys WMR show now with this code 20150602? I have the same one, but also have the code 846 refund sent. The Sbtp has received my money and should be released tomorrow, as well as WMR showing tomorrow. For you guys without the 846 code, what does WMR say for you for The DDD?

[niico9]

I’m in the same boat…filed 2/4 9pm turbotx, accepted immediately. no movement since then. no transcripts.
no deductions, same everything as past few years.
