@Erica
You are speaking the truth! 👏@mjulie123
On your IRS transcripts. You can view them online or have them sent to you.I bank with Wells Fargo and it just hit at 3:50 am EST!!
As of 3:50 am EST, I got my deposit. I bank with Wells Fargo. Woot woot!!
Have Wells Fargo and haven’t seen any movement. :(
They won’t admit that they are stalling people who filed for EITC, but they definitely are. The PATH act hold was supposed to be up 2/15, so funds should’ve been up right after. It’s annoying. It makes me never want to claim EITC again.
DDD of 3/4 and I bank with Wells Fargo. No movement yet and I checked the app. It still has “refund sent” grayed out.:/
@JazzThee
Thank you! Yes, it updated on WMR yesterday afternoon to my surprise.@Cher
What are your codes on your transcripts? I had to wait for a letter to log in too, so I feel your pain lol570 means your refund is under review @Bersnow
@Mweather15 The only date that matters on there is your “refund issued” date.@thicks
If they do, they will do it simultaneously while verifying your ID. It shouldn’t take any more time. They reviewed my EITC and sent me a letter saying they verified that I really didn’t file last year. Don’t worry 😊@thicks
I would def give it two Saturdays (AKA updates to WMR) to see any kind of movement. Keep checking your transcripts for sure! Look for code 571. They always over shoot that 9 week time frame to cover their b*tts!@thicks
More than likely you’ve been under review, you just didn’t know it. They froze your account to verify your ID, but once it gets resequenced after verification, you should be all good. 👍@Gofigure
For sure! I’m glad you know what the problem is. It takes them forever to process stuff because you end up getting resequenced if you had to verify any of your info. Once you see code 571, you’re in the clear!@Gofigure
You more than likely will get a letter soon telling you what you need to fix about your return. After you have fixed the error, you’ll see Code 571 which means the freeze has been lifted.
971 means they sent a letter and they are now waiting for additional info to move forward with your return. If you don’t get a letter soon, I would call them and have them resend it.I finally got a DDD today for 3/4, but I wanted to let you guys know why I personally got the 4464c letter because I’m sure we all have different reasons. So I was under review because I claimed EITC and because I didn’t file last year.
“Processing“ is normal, but “still processing” means a review 98% of the time.
The review could be because of anything. I went into review because of claiming EITC and the fact that I did not file last year. For some, it could mean ID verify. I would just wait for a letter and if you don’t get one, call the IRS and make sure you get one!So the codes on your transcripts will go a bit like this after you filed: 570 means they froze your refund for review.
971 means a letter was sent to you.
571 is when the “issue” is resolved and they lift the freeze.
It should then go onto 846 which is “refund issued.”
If you guys are stuck on 570, then that means they are still reviewing your return.Anyone claiming EITC will have the code 570 for a review and 571 if it is lifted. Now I know that they not only held my refund because of EITC, but they also held it because I didn’t file last year. A letter telling me that was generated today (2/29).
570 means your account is frozen because of a review.
971 means a letter was sent out to you.DDD means direct deposit date.
You can find it on your tax preparers info when they have added up all of the income you are receiving or on the left hand side of WMR. If you didn’t choose direct deposit, then they are mailing it to you.I’m honestly surprised this got through a moderators approval…
In my experience “processing” is good, “still processing” is not necessarily bad, but I’m sure a 4464c letter is coming.:(
So I’ve done tons of research on this since I got the letter and these are the most common reasons for the “60 day review”
Claiming credits (EITC etc)
You forgot to attach your healthcare info
ID verify
Your SSA transcripts don’t match your IRS transcripts because of a number error.Filed 2/3 accepted same day
Got my 4464c letter 2/14
Called the IRS and they were unhelpful.
Just got a DDD today for 3/4
I know mine was being held because of EITC.@Moe
Is it “still processing” or just “processing”?Ok so now we know for sure that “Still processing” equals a review. I was also under “still processing TT 152” after the first big update, but today I woke up to a DDD of 3/4!
I claimed EITC, so I think that’s why I was under review. I guess the IRS really ain’t playing around with the credits this year. Good luck everyone!Also always check your transcripts first because they update way before WMR and you can get your codes.
My info:
Filed 2/3, accepted same day with HR Block
I claimed EITC
Was is still processing and got 4464c letter on 2/14
WMR updated today with DDD of 3/4
For anyone that’s still processing: if you filed after 2/3, please wait until next Saturday for an update. They are taking an usually long amount of time to process refunds this year.Guys, I truly believe that all of us early filers that claimed EITC were under a hold for them to review it. I just got a DDD of 3/4. My heart almost jumped out of my chest!
Used HR Block.
Filed 2/3, accepted 2/3
Got 4464c letter on 2/14 that I was under review
Was stuck on still processing til today 2/29
DDD 3/4!!
Good luck guys and please hang in there!
The IRS is extremely bogged down and slow this year. I think they stalled a bunch of returns!
I also claimed EITC so I think that was also factor.That’s so weird to be audited just because we claimed EITC. Not every person that claims EITC is suspicious. I’ve claimed it since 2013.
@Vivian Allen
Same! I’ve been an identity theft victim since 2013 and have always filed with a pin. Haven’t we been through enough?!Ugh I’m still waiting for my log in info on the letter I requested for my transcripts.
@Patty
On IRS.gov
Just look for the transcripts link. You can do it online or mail off for them.Audited just for EITC though?
Apparently you will get a letter in the mail telling you to ID verify. They certainly won’t tell you over the phone.:/
@Cher
I’m in the same boat! Ordered it Sunday, so we will see when I get my info.@JeremyF Do you use a prepaid or non contract phone? I tried using my cell and it wouldn’t take because I’m not on a contract.
@SteveD
So when did you get your refund the prior year?Does that go against us or something? I feel like the people that have gone under a 60 day review are going to keep calling because we want answers.
Same @Amy
I used HR Block too. I have used them since 2013 and have never had a problem til now.
When I call, they just tell me to wait the 60 days. They give absolutely no information as to why.Yup! I’m going to have to call a tax advocate soon. I’m a victim of identity theft and I’m getting so sick of the IRS. First they boot me out of the system for someone claiming to be me. Now they boot me out for actually being me!! I’m so over this.
And if we can’t check our transcripts? A lot of people are waiting for a letter to get log in info or the IRS website can’t verify their info. We are SOL. We can’t call because we get the same trash answers…
Well, I would check my transcripts except they wouldn’t verify my cell number because it’s a prepaid plan, so now I’m waiting for log in info in the mail. Another freakin’ letter.
How do you guys know you have to be verified? They won’t give me any info.
@Chloe
You are 100% correct and I never looked at it this way. Thank you. My EITC is actually more than what I made all year last year, so if they are stalling because of that I get it. I just wish we weren’t kept in the dark. :/@K100!
What does that mean though? That we will have to ID verify?Is there a free way to get your SSA transcripts? I can’t view my IRS ones until I get log in info in the mail.
Somethings gotta give. They aren’t answering our questions!
My prob is is that if there is an issue with our taxes, just let us know! We get more frustrated when they give us non answers ie: “Just wait the 60 days.”
This is our hard earned money we are talking about here. Give us the why and we will try to fix it!100 % agree Bindy!
@Justin
You’ve got to be kidding me…@shaun
What was their reasoning for your refund being “under review”?
That sounds like a nightmare and I’m sorry that happened to you!Oh and if you didn’t file last year or your refund is much bigger than last years…they flag it apparently.
The only thing I can think of is that the SSA and IRS aren’t matching, my employer hasn’t filed yet, or it’s because I claimed EITC. If it was ID verify, they would’ve told me that over the phone.
On the other end of the spectrum, this is a very abnormal number of people being pulled for review and it could just be them stalling.They are telling mostly everyone to just wait the 60 days and the others have been chosen to do ID verify. The reps are completely unhelpful basically.
I haven’t used TT since 2013. I have been using HR Block and still got flagged.
I had the same probs with obtaining my transcripts. My cell phone number couldn’t be verified, so after three tries the screen let me make a username/password. It says that I will get a letter mailed from them with special log in information within 5-10 days. I’m pretty sure you can request your transcripts by mail as well, but it takes much longer.
I think the same @PinkPanther
Actually it’s really not comforting knowing that they hire temps to be CSRs for the IRS during tax season. I don’t really want every Tom, Dick, and Harry knowing all of my info from birth…
Everyone seems to be getting more info than I’ve been getting. They keep telling me it’s just under review and that I have to wait. 🙄
And if we aren’t getting any answers?
@PinkPanther that’s more info than I got. They won’t tell me why I’m under review.
@giamats I def think this a canned response too. It’s a crock of crap and they know it.
@Dublin This is exactly what I’m afraid of. What was the issue last year? ID verify or the numbers not matching?You tell ‘em @Sumrae!
Question: why are people getting more info from their transcripts and not when they call the IRS? Fishy. 🧐
Lol! Yeah I doubt they are even checking. They keep telling me I’m under review and to just wait. Like really? You can’t see any more info?
@sumrae
I’m dying! Lol! I’m going to ask them THEIR mother’s maiden name/what they made in 2019 and see what they say. XDThis BS is them stalling. I purposely filed early because I’m an identity theft victim, so I have to beat the criminals who want to file in my name and yet I’m being treated like the criminal.
Then don’t give us a “21 day” spiel if it’s not true. They might as well just tell us “you’ll get it when you get it.”
Yes! Thank you for this thread.
I filed 2/3 at HR Block and was accepted same day.
I filed for EITC.
Got my 4464c letter on 2/14
I called the IRS last week and this morning. I was told the same “you’re under a 60 day review.”
When I ask if it’s ID verify or anything to do with EITC, I get the runaround.@Sumrae
Lmao! I think you are correct on the 5-7 minute hold. What’s so weird is she wanted me to verify all this info like my moms maiden name yada yada just to tell me that I’m under a 60 day review and to just wait. Like, am I a joke to you?!
