What is the significance of the 01/22 date in TT ? Does it mean they will ‘file us’ on that day or does it have more significance? Im wondering because I did NOT ask for advance and I paid fees up front. Is this anyone else’s situation with a 01/22 date on TT??? Do you know what it means? Thanks

[Amanda]

So im thinking information doesn’t match means you haven’t been recognized by the IRS for this tax year. I filed TT 01/18 paid fees upfront did not apply for advance (got burned last year) and here I am PATHer again wishing I got picked for test batch! Thought I would because it already has a 01/22 date listed in TT and the second date is the date I filed. Whats with the 01/22? Anyone know? Nice to be back 5 years here…. The waiting is the hardest part.

[Amanda]

Are there more test batches from TT ? Asking for the 01/22 ppl?

[Tyler]

Do they accept during certain hours? Only M-F? Do they accept on weekends? Just curious.

[LolaR]

@igmr_admin

Yea I knew mine would be delayed due to the PATH act, I just didn’t know the dates.

I’ve never had it not be accepted days after filing, it’s usually within minutes after.

[Steve]

What hours do they usually do the accepting into test batches?

I filed my return yesterday 1/18. Waiting on acceptance. My preparer did tell me that they HAVE started accepting already

[magna970]

Filed my California Taxes on MyFTB CalFile:

File date 1/16
Accepted 1/16
Approved 1/16

Got the wait for deposit to hit your bank in 10 days if direct deposit selected message

@LolaR

If it says information does may match, it hasn’t been accepted yet.

ACTC is subject to PATH Act where your return can be accepted and processed. But a refund will be held until after 2/16.

You can use our refund cycle chart to get an idea when updates will happen to refunds subject to PATH Act.

[Amber]

Filed today, TT with fees and advance, not accepted as of yet.

[Dmack]

The IRS site states that they wont accept until January 29. So if you get accepted before that, you may be a test batch, or be in the first batch starting on the 29th. I filed yesterday 1/18, im still pending. Im not holding my breath to be accepted beforenthe 29th, but also wouldnt be suprised if it showed accepted on any day before then.

[LolaR]

Not accepted, it only says pending. WMR says “information does not match our records”.

[DON]

I also have issues. I filed last week and mine says submitted 1/22. I called my State and they said they haven’t even received my taxes. Why wouldn’t TT submit them?

[Amanda]

I filed at lunch today TT so I am a 01/18 filer. Paid fees upfront. My TT also says submitted 01/22 and then pending 01/18 like backwards dates. Could I be in an early batch with dependents??

[WhiteWolf]

I have experienced this. In 2020, they changed the ACTC. I had already filed. I received a letter stating I would get the rest owed to me the following year. Another time, the IRS adjusted the CTC for me, and I got the correct amount due. The IRS will post an announcement under “news” stating how we reconcile the difference.

[WhiteWolf]

Your info will not be recognized until your tax return is accepted (different than approved) on 1/29, or perhaps the next day, 1/30. An exception to this is if you are selected in the test batch.

[Blav]

If you have already submitted your taxes, and they increase the child tax credit from $2000 to $3600, will you get the extra money on your return or will you have to file an amendment?

[MoCarr2118]

I filed on 01/11/2024 with FreeTax. Filed both Federal and CA state. Federal accepted 01/16/2024. My WMR didn’t update until a day or two later.

[Melisssa]

Mine says submitted with 1/22/24 under it then pending with 1/18/24 under the next dot so it seems backwards

[Marcy]

Filed 1/17
Accepted 1/17

WMR down so now I wait

[Tex]

You filed today and already accepted?

[LolaR]

Filed 1/18 TT
Accepted- still pending
ACTC, no EIC

[JenN]

I can’t seem to find it anywhere – do we know when NYS starts accepting efiled returns?

[Max]

They only do small batches. Haven’t seen a pattern in which days filed that they pulled returns for testing.

[Jessica]

Filed 1/4 simple return no loan and no credits haven’t gotten into hub is there anyone else. Feel 1/4 was skipped.

[Kristen R]

I also already have one bar on WMR….surprising since I was just accepted a couple of hours ago.

[LolaR]

Filed today, 1/18. My TT just says “pending” “est acceptance end of January”

[Kristen R]

@ Sam I filed with TurboTax and was accepted today.

[IGMR Admin]

Welcome!

[IGMR Admin]

We are guessing that those with weekly update accounts may see acceptances in test batches tomorrow.

[Kristen R]

I filed on 1/16 and was accepted today 1/18 – simple return (W2 Only). Filed using TurboTax – and now we wait!

[Tex]

I know that TT app/website can be a little off sometimes. I finished my taxes at 1:00 AM and it says pending 1/8 but “submitted” 1/22. Assuming that it will be thrown into a test batch next Monday?

[naughtyrockets]

Thank you, @jemar707.

[Songbird88]

I’m nervous as well!! Something was different about the filling process this year and I was only able to file my federal 1/17/24 but not my California state. California won’t populate any info. Filled on TurboTax. Hopefully we get an acceptance notification soon!

[jemar707]

It will say that until your return is accepted which will officially start on 1/29. The acceptances that are happening now are randomly selected for small test batches before the season starts.

[naughtyrockets]

I filed on the 12th but there’s been no acceptance yet. When I do WMR, it says my information entered is incorrect but it’s not. Am I just being impatient?

[Lovely_Missive]

I had posted yesterday and wanted to update that today IRS2Go app shows as received. Thank you to everyone helping to explain things.

[MsChrys]

Hey y’all hey I think this may help. I logged into my irs account and this message is at the top.

Limited account services due to planned maintenance
Payments made Dec. 26, 2023 – Jan. 19, 2024 will process normally but may take longer to show as “Processed”. Updated balances and payment activity will be available the week of Jan. 21, 2024.

[Mari808]

Filed 1/16
Accepted 1/16
Got the 1 month message today

[Sam]

@Lovely_Missive – my WMR says that too but I’ve not yet been accepted. Maybe I’m a weekly too and that’s why. Crossing my fingers there’s no problem.

[jemar707]

Welcome back, everyone! Testing will go on through next week.

Here is our calendar.

[ImpatientlyWaiting]

Jared I saw a few on the IGMR Facebook page. They’ll keep accepting and loading returns into the system so acceptance can still happen before the 29th.

[Amerie]

The IRS is accepting refunds later i each year pretty soon it’s going to be the middle of February before they accept them

[MoCarr2118]

@Lovely_Missive – Mine was also accepted yesterday on the 16th and my WMR says the same thing as yours. I think it’s because I am a weekly05 and probably won’t get an update on WMR until later, like this weekend.

[Lovely_Missive]

Filed with TT on the 11th and IRS accepted my return yesterday on Jan 16th. The IRS2Go app however says “Information does not match. Please reenter your information.” But I know it is correct. Anyone else with this?

[Sam]

Anyone use TT and get accepted?

[Jared]

Was accepted today

[Monique L]

I filed with FreeTaxUSA this time on January 11, 2024. I just received an email saying my Federal return was accepted on January 16, 2024 145pm (pst).

[Mari808]

And the waiting games begin…

[ItsCo]

I e-filed with turbo tax on Jan 5 (successfully transmitted). I’m EITC and just got an email saying the IRS has accepted my return. So I’m probably in a test batch but they’ll hold my refund until mid to late feb like everyone else anyway.

[Chace1]

Can you explain the Jan 18th date as opposed to Jan 29th?

[Natasha]

Update from my op- I received my 2 remaining pins for my dependents about 3-4 days later. I called they all should be in the mail by the 16th of January. I was able to retrieve mine on the portal as previous.

[ImpatientlyWaiting]

No. You don’t. Just proceed the way it is. The company I worked 20 years for always took out too much and I got that same message every year. I just went on without correcting it. It just means you paid in more than you should have but jt’ll reflect on your yearly SSA statement. No biggie.

[IGMR Admin]

Looks like they are coming out slow this year. Most people have said they have been able to get them online.

I read that if you have gotten it on the portal in the past they won’t mail it to you anymore and you must access on their portal.

[Bjazi023]

Haven’t received mine

[Tizz44]

It looks like acceptance date is 1/18 but processing is 1/29. Does anyone know of preparers that offer RALs prior to acceptance?

[nicole]

[Nimo37]

Has anyone got there IP Pin for 2024?

[jemar707]

There usually are more people around the closer it gets to when the IRS officially begins accepting tax returns. That date hasn’t been announced yet but we think it be 1/22

[Debe]

When is the live tax forum starting

[Heidi]

When entering my W2 I got the message your employer held too much social security tax from your wages and get a new W-2. My question is do I have to do that? What if I don’t care about the extra $80 held from my social security? Can I just file it the way it is or do I have to get it corrected W2??

I filed for my erc back in Apr, I have yet to receive any funds. I have called the business line for the IRS and you will talk to front end agents who gives different answers of the status. The last agent I spoke to about two wks ago advise me that it’s a sign to an agent but it’s just on hold. I asked her what does that mean on a hold? The agent advised me that they have paused processing erc’s until Dec and for me to try back in 30 days which would be Nov.
