@tee some of us dont mind being in test group. I usually am and have zero issues and get my money … personal choice

[Tee]

Why would one want to be in the test batch. The Guinea pigs. I rather would want them to weed out the quirks then get me in there

[Lex]

Turbo tax will not let me efile without completing the form 8915-F (Disaster Distribution) which isn’t available yet. I somehow selected that option by accident and cannot figure out how to unselected it in order to move forward. I’ve tried everything including contacting Turbo tax. Has anyone experienced this?

[Velvetzea]

Mine was accepted yesterday
TT 01/14/23
EITC
ACTC

@Faithhopenmommy
yes i had that cannot verify information error. I went into my credit karma account settings and changed my name to exactly how it is on w2 ( short name instead of legal name) then i tried again and it worked. good luck i hope you get it figured out

[Trance]

I was accepted yesterday, there was nothing about a test batch mentioned though

[Faithhopenmommy]

Anyone getting a message that says they can’t verify personal information when trying to get credit karma refund advance?

[unnamedtaxpayer]

@MO cross your fingers for me i need that instant refund advance this inflation is killing me

[MO]

@ Unnamed, not necessarily. The official start of tax season is the 23rd, Anything before that is the test batch they do every year. My understanding with the test batch is that they try about ten million or so just to get out the quirks. I also read that the test batch was from the 18th till tomorrow, So you very well may get selected. It’s all random. I got a text on my phone saying Irs had accepted me, then an email was waiting from turbo tax today.

[unnamedtaxpayer]

@MO so if i filed today i probably wont be accepted til mon or tues im assuming

[MO]

@Unamed I filed on the 12th…..

[unnamedtaxpayer]

@Apryl it says pending

[Alice Kyteler]

Filed with Tax Slayer on 1/14, accepted on 1/18.
PATH, though, so bleh. But, it begiiiins. 😂

[unnamedtaxpayer]

MO when did you file

[MO]

Just got Accepted email from Turbo Tax..( hang in there Queenie) I went on WMR just to make sure it was official. Yup, It’s on one bar. This year I’m not looking everyday. I have always been a weekly, I may check next Saturday.. We got This!

[Ryan]

Reverse psychology works! After saying this morning I don’t think I’ll get accepted early, it just happened! Woohoo! Here’s to hoping the testing is working beautifully and an early refund is on the way. Good luck to everyone!

[Apryl]

@unamed does it say transmitted or pending?

[unnamedtaxpayer]

i just filed via turbotax it was transmistted just waiting on acceptance

[Waiting]

Filed 1/12/2023 just got an updated federal was accepted today

[SB]

Just got notification that mine was accepted by the irs (turbo tax notification) but I am walking the PATH so it will be a while.

[Isabell]

Received, not accepted. I have not been accepted. Sorry

[Isabell]

I filed on the 17th with Taxact. I haven’t gotten any notification from either the IRS or Taxact, but I checked on the IRS site and it shows that it was accepted on 1/18. Not sure why we’re not getting notified.

[Apryl]

Anyone get accepted today?

[AC]

I got my test batch acceptance yesterday and state was accepted today. I have PATH, so the wait begins. Hoping at least state comes through fast like normal. Could really use it.

[Ryan]

Another day has passed for me with no acceptance. I’m starting to think I’m not going to be lucky enough for the test batch.

[Spre]

No you didn’t. Michigan’s 1040 isn’t even ready till tomorrow.

And schedule w isn’t ready until February and can not be efiled.

And everyone is required to file a W with thier mi-1040(which again isn’t even ready until tomorrow)

[Tiffg]

Filed 1/11 accepted 1/18. Starting the chat for updates for this tax year.

[Tiffg]

Filed with TaxAct on 1/11 accepted today 1/18.

[Apryl]

I filed with TT on 1/17….I know that the IRS is not accepting until 1/23 but it I remember correctly in years prior I would get a notification from the IRS telling me that it was received within 24 hours of filing but I have got no such notice this year. Should I be concerned?

[magnum2117]

Just wondering if anyone else is still waiting on their refund from last year? Filed in March and had to do ID verification in April. For months wmr gave me the “your return is still being processed” message. At some point recently (within the last month) wmr changed to “we have received your return and it is being processed”. Is this a good thing? I’ve tried to call the irs multiple times and can never get anyone on the phone. I’m gonna try tomorrow and hope I get ahold of someone.

[Tee]

Hopefully I’m not a test batch. If so a successful one at that. But I did file a week ago with taxslayer. Most my info stayed the same.

[iDaddyBird]

TurboTax accetes today. Filed on 5th. Found out it was accepted from credit karma because of refund advanced. Pissed they only gave me $500 out of a $9000+ return.

[Wedge]

FTUSA accepted today, filed 1/12

[TOOLbandWVU]

I got this figured out and fixed. Thanks

[Queenie]

[Queenie]

[QueenB23]

I filed yesterday with TaxAct and was accepted today. I don’t know if that’s good or bad.

[TOOLbandWVU]

All tax forms will be available? TurboTax won’t let me file my federal as it says they’re waiting for the IRS to make all forms available. Could this be from EIC or Child Tax Credit? TurboTax isn’t providing much information regarding which forms and when they will be available

[Neek Neek]

Oh TAXACT

[Neek Neek]

Filed yesterday per my rejections and was accepted today

[Ryan]

Filed on Jan 12 through TT, no acceptance as of yet. Hoping maybe it gets grabbed today, but not sure if I’ll be lucky enough for early acceptance.

[Rozilyn]

Accepted today

[Butta525]

Filed on the 6th accepted on the 17th. Sounds like test batch frfr

[Queenie]

I didnt get accepted yesterday…. Maybe today … fingers cross

[jemar707]

Did you get accepted yesterday!? 🤞🏼
Many did! But we could seem them all week 😁

[Blue]

Did anyone get accepted that filed through TT who also opted in for the advance?

[Neek Neek]

Rejected today lol had to fix some birthdays

[Bec]

Yes same TT filed the 12th accepted today 1/17 :)

[itsCo]

I was just accepted into a test batch. Hope it goes smoothly!

[itsCo]

I just got a text that my return has been accepted by the IRS. I filed Jan 12 with TurboTax.

[nicole]

its that time of year…… filed 1/13… federal accepted today….. now we wait to see when state does hopfully not like last year

[Cynthia]

Filed with my preparer today 1/17/2023

[Queenie]

… tick tock goes the tax clock…hoping for early acceptance

[Rob]

I got the RAL through them this year for the first time. We’ll see how it goes.

[Ryan]

Test batches should start tomorrow. Hoping they grab mine and TurboTax shows my return being accepted this week!

[Regina]

I recently tried going into FreeTaxUSA but it’s not working or letting me login. Could it be as a result of the IRS start date of the 23rd Jan 2023. WTH

[MO]

That really seems off. Tax preparation is really only expensive if you have a lot of itemizations or rental properties, businesses etc. things that make it more complicated. Obviously I don’t know the details of your returns but paying over 2-300 seems excessive unless you have complicated returns. Looks like they was just trying to dangle upfront monies to make a 300% profit. How unscrupulous if true…

[unnamedtaxpayer]

@bry wow 300 thats insane and they charged me like 600 this has to be illegal condidering the ad says file for 59 bux or something like that

[DON]

Just filed my 2022 taxes yesterday 🤞🏼

[Bry]

Literally just got back from doing taxes with jh, and they charged me $724 in all & only got approved for $300 early advance . Like wth.

[jemar707]

The IRS announced yesterday the official opening for the tax season is January 23rd. Sometimes you could be accepted into a test batch. Although the test batch can go smoothly and people will see their refunds early, they aren’t always smooth and some refunds can actually be delayed.

Here is our estimate for when test batches and first acceptances might be seen.

https://igotmyrefund.com/irs-e-file-refund-cycle-chart-2023/

[Bry]

That’s what I need is $1000. I’m so nervous to go tomorrow. $500 isn’t enough for me at this moment

[unnamedtaxpayer]

@Bry i got 500 reallly needed the 1000 tho

[Bry]

About how much did you get qualified for ? Asking because I have an appointment tomorrow and need money asap

[KeepingCoolLA]

Last year, I got it within 2 hours of acceptance.

[PearlP]

I filed on 1/10 with H&R and was able to request my return via direct deposit. I think there is a chat bot on their site you may be able to ask and see if there is any additional info on why paper check was the only option.

[unnamedtaxpayer]

yes year i used turbo tax and i got my refund advance within 30 mins of irs acceptance

[Queenie]

I know i know to soon to ask… last year i filed on the 12th and was accepted shortly after it even tho tax start date was 23 Jan last year … if anyone does this week let me know 😊

[MO]

A lot of Tax services are just holding it in a Queue until all appropriate tax forms come in. I file with Turbo Tax and it told me I had to wait for the educational credit form to be available which is tomorrow. If you desire direct deposit I would just wait a couple more days till it becomes available

[Goodie495]

I’ve filed with HR Block for many years now and I just tried to file with them and when I get to the ready to file piece, it’s telling me that the only option is to have a paper check sent. Has anyone else come across this. This big difference this year is that I did get Solar last year so my refund is pretty big. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much!

[Jenjen00]

I got it last year, it took 3 days.

[Queenie]

If you opted into it via turbo tax then yes

[GeekGodShimmy]

does anybody know if the instant refund comes within the hour of acceptence ?
