“I don’t see why so many people are upset by this delay. Last year they didn’t even start processing til the 31st of Jan.”

Because accepting them 11 days earlier than last year but then delaying refunds by approximately the same amount of time is, for lack of a better word, a clocktease.

Not a typo.

@jgardner

The thing is that nobody knows how accurate the WMR site is this year. Return processing began a week ago tomorrow, but nobody has seen any change on WMR since. Getting Accepted and one bar is happening quickly, but beyond that there hasn’t been a single reliable claim from anybody that they have gotten anything more.

In the past the WMR site has been somewhat reliable, most people get their refund a the day of, or a day or two earlier than the DDD given on WMR, it isn’t uncommon for the WMR to not show three bars until a couple of days after the refund has been deposited.

[JElle]

Sarah – Did the site update for you before you got your deposit?

[lavacandy]

DP they know you guys are getting a blizzard and wont be able to go out and spend it lol. JK

[lavacandy]

I am in Indiana. Filed 1/16, Received 1/20, and was accepted 1/25 now it says it is being processed.. We shall see I generally get my state before my federal so I am okay but I would prefer my federal anytime lol.

[DP]

NY was accepted on opening day 1/20..on 1/22, i got a DDD for 1/27. That is extremely fast for NY

[jgardner]

Last year I filed on 2/2 and got my state and federal on 2/8 I used turbo tax for federal and the MA state site for state. This year I used Turbo tax for both state and federal and I filed on 1/19 accepted 1/20 and been stuck at received/processing ever since. Shoot there hasn’t been ANY activity on my state at all. Does anyone now how accurate the WMR website is?

[velvet]

Anything in NY?

[Anonymous]

Last year I filed on the 15th or 17th, IRS didn’t open till the 31st. I thought that I would be in the first round of refunds but I didn’t get my refund till 2/19! So, just because you filed early, doesn’t mean you are getting your refund first. My coworkers filed on 2/1 and they got their money by the 12th of feb! Words can’t express how mad I was!

[mysticgrace]

Filed with TT on 1/23
Accepted by GA on 1/24

as of 1/26, still getting the following message:

“The information you have entered does not match our records, however you may have mailed your return. Please verify the social security number entered and the refund amount.”

[dmp]

i have a dif last name on my health insr than on my w2 & the name i filed taxes in. i never changed my last name on my health insr. so my paychecks, w2, & income tax refund is in one name but health insr in another. how far do they check into the whole health insr thing & will it cause a prob if they see my health insr is in dif last name even tho ss # matches. if so will they just charge me the fine or do u think they will even catch it.

[Sarah]

I got my California State deposited to my account last Friday.

[JElle]

CA – accepted 1/23, but ftb site still says “We are unable to provide your refund status online.” Filed with H&R.

[dee]

Well Mr Dan I said slow because last year as I said clearly they started on the 31st and by that monday I had a DDD so therefore in my opinion they are slower this year now u have your opinion and I have mine and we all are concerned because it is our money now thank u and have yourself a great day

[Croberts]

@Lauren Not really sure but I have received DD from them on different days of the week so I don’t think they wait til a certain day to do deposits. I’ve even received mine on a Saturday morning before.

[Croberts]

People kill me coming on these forums talking down to other people about wanting their money BUT they are here for a reason also. If you weren’t worried or curious you wouldn’t be here. People can spend their money before they get it if they choose! They don’t need you chastising them like they’re kids!

[Ms Miss]

State was accepted today 1/26

[dee]

Unfortunately every year is different some people are saying it normally takes 7to 10days after the IRS has officially opened but that’s not really accurate either because last year IRS opened on January 31which was a Friday and by that following monday I had my DDD for that Friday 2/7so it just depends on the IRS every year is different for me and it sucks waiting to see what’s gonna happen this year

[Dan]

Moving slowly? Technically they’re moving faster. You’ve still got 5 days until it’s the 31st and last year they didn’t even start processing until the 31st.

Perhaps you shouldn’t be spending money before you have it or making plans financially that depend on when you receive this money.

[Anonymous]

Mine only shows for the wages as well. N/A for transcripts for 2014. So I’m wondering how someone was able to see their transcripts. Oh well, we all have one goal in mind and that is to get our money lol!!!

[dee]

Last year IRS started accepting refunds on January 31and that Monda2/3/ I had my DDD for 2/7 so they are moving slower this year because the 31st was a Friday therefore mine was processed within a day

[Dan]

There have been numerous articles claiming that due to budget cuts and other reasonings, they will be delayed a week.

http://wishtv.com/2015/01/22/irs-expecting-complicated-tax-season-delayed-refunds/

I don’t see why so many people are upset by this delay. Last year they didn’t even start processing til the 31st of Jan.

[Tally waker jones]

@Paul I would not worry to much, Mine has looked just like that since Thursday or Friday of last week if i recall correctly. Filed and accepted the same day as you.

[debp]

Just got a text alert from Netspend…,thought it was my fed income tax deposit….Nope. It was SSI. Maybe tomorrow for the big one. Fingers crossed.

[jack meoff]

My great grandfather knows a guy whos sister gave birth to a boy 32 years ago who grew up and married a women whos brother has a friend who knows soneone whos mom works at a post office who heard a customer mention that she knows a guy whos boyfriends sisters baby daddy id related to a morphin dike who works at ye ol irs building and heshe said ………..cant give out information

[Anonymous]

Per Facebook, IRS employees are not to give out any information on any type of social media. I guess there have been people saying that relatives or friends that work at the IRS are posting things and, supposedly it’s wrong. I would just love for the IRS to quit being so secretive.

[Paul]

so, i was able to login to get transcripts, and only wages transcripts are available. however, when i click to open mine, it says no record of return received……

anyone elses look that way? i filed with turbo tax on the 9th, accepted the 12th, and my bars disappeared on the 15th. so this is very strange!

[Kevin]

My mom has worked for the IRS for close to 30 years. And although she works with the business returns, she has heard that all refunds, including E-filed will be delayed a week. So this could explain a lot of the waiting around. I’d expect to see some refund approvals beginning next week. Until then…

[Anonymous]

No update. Only thing is I have an account setup with Republic Bank and they know the name of my bank. Makes me think they already did a test run but the representative wouldn’t go into details. Still no bars. Filed on 1/13/15 and accepted on 1/14/15

[ASHLEY J]

I’m in Missouri. Got mine within 25 hours of being accepted.

[dawnb]

Has anyone talked to or know someone that has either spoken w an irs employee or knows someone that works for irs & has any info from an actual irs employee as to what the holdup is. i wud think someone out there has a friend or fam member that works for irs & has gotten some kind of info from them.

[kyle]

Same here

[Jusalaydee]

Jesse h, yes it should say its being processed but it may be a few days before approved

[Jusalaydee]

Lol yes im just ugh frustrated. They should update more frequently like throughout the day. Then when u call they are rude lol

[Jesse h]

I filed turbo tax 1/14 and on 1/16 it said good news your refund was accepted early. Does that mean I am in a test batch? Also it still saying that it is processing. It then rejected my state refund because the acceptance date should have been changed to 1/20 from 1/16. If it was accepted early should It have been processed by now?

[Kim]

I filed on 1/25, got my direct deposit on 2/7. I don’t remember filing early last year, but I guess I did. I don’t think they submitted it to the IRS until 1/31.

[Lauren]

@Croberts one more question…….. any idea on how many days?

Lol Im impatient

[Elle]

Last year I was accepted on 1/31 and had money deposited on 2/8. I was only at 2 bars last year when I saw they had already deposited. It didn’t update for two more days. HRB was just as bad. I figure a 7-10 day turn around on average. I’ll get worried if I don’t see a deposit by the time I had money last year.

[meandmrsmrsjones]

I haven’t actually filed mine as of yet, but they normally take much longer than other states. Has anyone else received any news?

[taxesqa15]

I filed with turbo tax on 1/23/15. I am still pending. I called Tt today and got one rep who was clueless and said that I may have an issue with “my w2 multi state income” which is not the case , he then dropped the call. I called back and got another rep who seemed to be more knowledgeable but said i may not have been accepted because “they are busy with all the people filing”.

i have a feeling something is wrong as every other year I have been accepted within 24 hours and now with federal and state are still pending.

I appreciate any ideas/explanations/advice.

[Jakeinga]

They didn’t start processing refunds until 1/31 last year, lots of us filed earlier than that, I filed on 1/16 and was accepted the same day. I recall getting DDD on 2/1, DDD of 2/7, actually got DD on 2/6.

Unfortunately we have no idea what is going on. For all we know we will see a similar schedule this year, and they are not allowing WMR to access the current databases, or it could be that of the millions who have already filed and been accepted not a single one has actually been processed yet, a week after they started processing.

[Sherry]

I filed on 2/5 last year and received my dd on 2/18 (13 days).

[JenniferQ]

You would think with how they hate for people to call up before the 21 days they would communicate better. If they would just say as to why the bars are moving a lot slower this year then in the past then people wouldn’t bother them for the most part. Government at it’s best. lol

[JenniferQ]

Mine was on target when it finally updated. But I checked mine from last year, from the time they accepted me to when I got my refund was one week. I was accepted on 1/20 so I don’t think that is going to happen this year. Would be nice but I am thinking my 2/6 at this rate,

[Juju1]

Nope we’re all in limbo…

[Bill]

Nope filed turbo tax and got my fees taken out of my refund. It was due to overpayment for unemployment a couple years back

[Juju1]

For Federal yeah we are all in limbo:( but State is pretty fast got my deposit on Sat morning and I filed and was accepted on the 20th;)

[Nicholas Erickson]

I cant remember the distance between ddd given and a refund date. Can anyone help?

[Sherry]

Filed my IN return with H&R Block on 1/20 and accepted today 1/26.

[KG]

I hope this blizzard will not affect our returns and have them delayed, not sure where they process the returns at though.

[Crystal]

I filed with TT on 1/20 and got an email last night stating it was accepted. Still processing on the Indiana WMR site.

[Jusalaydee]

So i filed on 1/16/15 with 1040.com and was accepted 1/20/15. Ugh just hoping for a deposit date or to at least see status change to approved soon. Idk if the transcript trick applies this year but i havent been able to order mines. And for u va state filers have u got a deposit date mines not processed

[Anonymous]

Why would someone go through all that trouble to be fake??? It’s uncalled for and evil!!! Have you all lost your bars, or still have at least one? I haven’t gotten anyone to answer my question about having my account already setup with Republic Bank and them knowing the name of my bank. Does anyone know if they have your account setup if that means they have pretty much already done a test run to your account to make sure it’s open and valid?

[Sherry]

Received an email from H&R Block today (1/26) that my IN state return has been accepted. Filed on 1/20 but it did not transmit until 1/22 and accepted on 1/26.

[Anonymous]

Federal Filed and accepted 1/23/2015
State accepted 1/26/2015

[Elle]

I think you’re right. I was accepted last year on 1/31 and had my money in the bank on 2/8. 7-10 says after the IRS opens seems to be the norm. I’m not too worried.

[Anonymous]

I called ODT and they haven’t received my return even though I was accepted on 1/21. It’s a turbo tax thing I’m sure of it. I refiled on their site. So if you filled with turbo tax and are getting no info found message I’d call ODT.

[Anonymous]

lmbo lol. Too funny at that DDD post lol!!! Thanks for lightening up the mood!!!

[Croberts]

@Lauren You’re welcome!

[Anonymous]

As of right now no one has a DDD, DDD won’t start till a week after the IRS starts accepting, We should see DDD by Wednesday for those that filed and were accepted by the 20th. We should have the money in our accounts later this week, Friday or Saturday with Monday being the latest. As for all the hype with Ryan being accepted he is a fake, he posted his photoshop picture when I was first on TurboTax, he was called out because he was missing a comma and then fixed it about 20 minutes later.

[Melissa]

Maryland released my refund to Green Dot on Jan 24th at 10:59am. Green dot hasn’t released my funds. I called them yesterday and they said they don’t have my money. Today nobody will take my calls. Suggestions?

[Lauren]

@Croberts – thank you so much.

[Croberts]

@awake you’re not alone! The GA website is very unpredictable. Automated phone system is not updated either. Still saying 2013.

[awake]

anyone have any idea why mine would say the information doesnt match their records…..i usually have a fast refund from ga…..

[Croberts]

@Lauren yes that’s a good thing. You should see a refund soon.

[Anonymous]

I called ODT and they haven’t received my return even though I was accepted on 1/21. It’s a turbo tax thing I’m sure of it. I refiled on their site.

[Lauren]

@Croberts so if it saying that and they have my info thats a good thing right?

[STILLWAITING]

I filed on 1/21/2015 but State of Georgia still do not have my information…..sucks!

[Jody B]

lulz @ below me

[Josh]

Federal accepted 1/20/15, State accepted 1/21/15 . Still no change or word on acceptance or DDD. Is this normal?

[Roger]

My friend sent me a screenshot claiming the IRS gave him a DDD. I dunno, the screenshot looks a little off to me. Thoughts?

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii174/rhelg80/irsrefund_zps0eb75d0f.png

[Croberts]

@Lauren in prior years when I’ve received that message I have gotten mine a few days later and it never updates online til after I receive the deposit. Some years the online site has never updated. The state of GA is so unpredictable!

[Elle]

2014 wages are up. All others are N/A. Wages have been up for a while now.

[Ashley]

I entered my husbands employers FED ID # incorrectly. What do I need to do? What will the IRS do? Everything else was entered correctly. Will they reject it? Should I call them?
