your refund has been reduced to pay a past due irs obligation tax obligation.

it say the balance of your refund was sent to your bank account January 30,2015, for direct deposit.
at first it said if not credit by feb 4 2015 check with bank, i still haven’t received mines and i know its because the tax penalty because i don’t owe anything else

it also show a tax topic 201 and reference number 1091 which mean i owe the irs, but my question is when will i receive the remaining balance of my refund, how long does it take after irs has took the money out that i owe, somebody help me tell me something

[Jessica]

Hey Kassy I filed on 1/22 with turbotax and the IRS approved me on the 26th.. I was kinda curious why I hadn’t got my refund back yet usually it doesn’t take this long so that lead me to find this site and your post! Ok I did what you suggested and checked my transcripts it has a 846 code on it but the where’s my refund thing on the IRS site still says it’s being processed with one bar! You think they just haven’t updated it? Sorry for all the questions your advice was the best I’ve seen so far.. Everyone else just seems to be complaining or asking questions themselves! I’m also wondering if it’s going to take longer because I’m having it go straight to my bank and not like a net spend card or something it seems like a lot of ppl using those have already received refunds lol hell it probably doesn’t matter! Anyhow thanks for the great transcript advice! Oh n were will your DDD be at if you have one?

[Anonymous]

@mstorilivsand: Mine was included in the packet JH sent to me, so unsure? :(

Fax just sent, hoping it will only extend by a week, especially since I didn’t even receive the letter yet. lol :(

[Frustrated!]

I can’t get my transcripts to pull anything up EVER! No matter how many times i get locked out… i enter the exact same info that is on my return for this year and it tells me my info is wrong every time… i even went back to look and make sure i didn’t make any mistakes on my return with my address and it’s correct there too. Why can’t i ever pull up my transcript? i have tried every year and i can never get them for some reason. I filed on 1/20 thru HR Block, accepted 1/21/15 and WMR is still sitting at accepted. I have never waited this long in my life for a refund. I also checked my confirmation code from HR Block and it says 201502 which i’ve read is a “dead cycle’ i need some answers… does anyone have anything like this going on too? on hold with IRS now, i don’t know if they’ll even help me. Thanks in advance for anyone who has some answers!!!

[wit]

Anyone using PNC receive their did?

[Land]

Same here i checked my transcripts and all my cycle codes have 05 from the last 2 years except for 2011 which i was a 03 , so i am hoping for a update tonight

[texasmama]

No update here either. Filed/accepted 1/29. Account transcript for 2014 available, but no codes, all zeros, and the only date says as of 2/23/2015. If what I read from someone else is true, and we were not actually accepted on the day we were told, it would make sense by that date. 2/23 would be 21 days from 2/2, which follows what that person said about actually being accepted on 2/2. That would mean it has only been 3/4 days. Craziness, and it stinks, but IF it’s true, it does make sense with the date on my transcript. Who really knows?? Not me, for sure.

[Dion]

I was accepted 1/20 and mine is still proceeding, so the 10 day theory is out the door. I don’t know why mine is taking so long but it’s beyond frustrating.

[MiMi]

@irs_limbo Yesterday was the first day I seen them, but I hadn’t tried before that either. .

[Marshal]

I love how everyone rallies together in february LOL.. I have a cycle code of 20150504 as well and it has a 846 code dating 2-23-15, still one bar tho

[Stacy]

20150504 that’s my cycle also. Anyone know day they might post to net spend?

[will]

Where do I find this code?

[RunMeMyMoney]

Can someone please explain this weekly cycle deal. I must have over looked that. And yes I hope we do wake up to a suprise deposit in the AM

[periwinkle]

@pugtor

I had EIC credit…the bars FINALLY moved and I will get refund this week.

However, because of this fiasco I will NEVER file early again. Neither will I e-file ever again. Im only filing on the very last day of tax season, to guarantee myself a low dif score.

Last year, I got my refund within 1 week of filing. Now, I’m right at 21 day marker.

Whats next? 45 or 60 day wait for refund next year?

Too much suspicion with early filers for my comfort.

[nyorker]

My ny refund status keeps changing

first time it was we received your refund and being processed

Second time it’s in final stages of processing will have date available soon

Then back to intial stage of processing so I called and they claim in was pulled for review I never go no letter or anything that was 2 days ago

Today I check now it says in final stages of processing should take up to 2 weeks

What’s the deal here what is going on anyone else get this

[Josh]

@mstorilivsand

these were my last 3 years of trans cycle codes

20120804
20130702
20142005

[Land]

I am in the same boat , Filed 1/29 accepted same day , 1 bar on WMR N/A on transcripts , Called the IRS yesterday they said mine is still processing and i do not owe them any money but i do have a Action on my account which is a student loan i owe but that should be fine sense i already talked to my student loan office and i am currently on Financial hardship forbearance so that should not affect it .

So i guess we are in the waiting game atm not sure why maybe we got resequnced

[candigirl]

lmh, I hope so too! Thanks

[stillwaitingpatientlyinTX]

I’m so aggravated!!! It seems like the last 3 years no matter when I file my return I get stuck in a group of people that have to wait the full 21 days or longer. 2 yrs ago I did contact a tax advocate and she did help. Guess I’m going to have to do it again this year. If I COULD wait I wouldn’t mind it so much but, I have an 8 yr old with Autism and Bipolar disorder, a 6 yr old with ADHD and anxiety and I’m physically disabled. So I depend on income tax to help pay for all of our various medical necessities. Also, I developed a pretty severe heal spur on my “good” foot and I need to have surgery. I just wish there was some quick easy way to KNOW when my money will be in the bank or know if there was an error or just KNOW SOMETHING!!

Still n/a for my return transcript and my account transcript has all 0s and “no return filed”. The last 3 yrs cycle codes have ended in 03, 02, 01 in that order chronologically. So if anyone can maybe decipher that info I’d be eternally grateful. Or if you can point me in the right direction to figure it out myself I’ll do the research myself.

[stephanie]

How did u guys find out they had it pending at h&r block? I also have a ddd of 2/6

[so frustrated]

My ddd was yesterday 2/4. My husband and I were on a payment plan with IRS due to a 1099 misc coming after we got our refund last year, which made us ineligible for eic. On WMR and act transcripts it shows that they paid back what we owed the IRS and that the difference was sent to our bank on 2/4. The act transcripts still have 846 with that ant on it. Today WMR updated to three bars with sent with message 201 for taking what we owed the IRS from last year. Here is what it shows: Your refund has been reduced to pay a past due IRS tax obligation.
The balance of your refund, $xxxx was sent to your bank on February 4, 2015 for direct deposit. If your refund is not credited to your account by February 9, 2015, check with your bank to find out if it has been received. Please wait until February 9, 2015 before you contact us as we are unable to take any further action until then. Where did my money go???

[Disappointed]

Bumping to see if others are having the same problem as me. Seems some 1/29ers got an update this morning.

[melgokie]

@bellanoel

Thanks for the info. Was the a limit to how big your refund was? Mine is above 6k …I heard the limit was 2500 so I’m hoping it doesnt get rejected.

[HCMS]

I think you if filed 1/30 and havent heard anything we are in a weekly cycle should update friday night with ddd for next week

[OHdove]

Filed 1/31, accepted 2/1 able to get transcripts late last night. Cycle 20150503, with 846 code and WMR updated this morning with 2/9 DDD. Filed w/ HRB, here’s hoping DD will actually load Friday or Saturday. Good luck everyone!!!

[dakids]

any update to today iam locked out of the website

[BellaNoel]

thats my cycle as well, I used amex bluebird so hopefully it comes a day early

[BellaNoel]

I used my bluebird card last year and had no problems at all. It does get deposited on the day it says..My money was on there by noon the day of the deposit… Start checking in the wii hours of the morning. I used bluebird this year and my DDD is Feb 10th

[JKG73]

Filed on 2/1 was able to look at transcripts yesterday. Today WMR updated. Refund date 2/9

[Cafeazucartx]

Having refund go to bluebird account hopefully they release the funds in a reasonable timeframe… Next year I’ll may go back to using my actual bank account :/ the seem kinda slow… They advertise like you get it earlier than a traditional bank… Doesn’t seem that way.. At least chase post at 230 am

[Jaime]

I would like to know whats going on too. I had a DDD for 2/4/2015 and still nothing on my netspend card. and the SBBT website shows nothing from the IRS. I don’t get it. I do have offset but I did last year and this never happen…. what is going on

[melgokie]

Anyone here have bluebird checking? I have filed with HR block and got a ddd for Feb 6th. No pending transactions online. Anyone here have bluebird and already gotten their refund by now? How long did it take?

[kylej]

sbbt shows my whole refund, and below shows their fees coming out but instead of direct deposit like i requested there is a note and it says: check printed and sent regular mail……anyone else get this? if so whats that about?

[DeepInTheMailStack]

I got nothing, no transcript, no date. I called and the automated system still says processing.

[Ashley O]

Bart-
I filled 1/29 and was accepted same day. Nothing fancy or unusual about my refund-only a $36 difference from last year. But last night a group of Mom’s at Dancing were saying that Louisiana taxpayers don’t see their refunds till their State has been processed… They said we “piggy back”… So I gave that a lot of thought last night- could this be true? I normally get my federal and state within 72 hours of each other but being that Louisiana didn’t start processing till yesterday could this be the hold up or is this just an Tax Urban Legend?

[Bronxy]

I got the same thing 20150504 with code 846 …DD s/b on Tues 10! Yay!

[HollyB]

Any one have any updates? My WMR updated late last night and said my deposit was sent to my bank on 2/4/15 but today is 2/5/15 and its still not there. Bank doesn’t see it pending either. What is going on?

[Anonymous]

@AraneaStar

You’re welcome, I like to get some answers because it helps ease the mind.

@Jonny

I do not have a blank transcript at all. I have n/a on all my transcripts except wages, which only states that no return has been filed. If you have a blank transcript with an “as of date” Feb, 16, 2015 then most likely you will see a refund Monday the 9th according to others who have had the same thing. Good luck!

@Joy

You are very welcome, I am hopeful we will see some updates tomorrow or over the weekend!

[harlan]

there doesn’t appear to be a link on the site to take the quiz — only FAQs. Can anyone advise?

[Mike]

Hil – I have found a lot of messages on “missing bars” since posting this. It seems fairly common, but I havent read enough of them to gather what it might mean….if anything.

[Anonymous]

@Justmy3cents

No I cannot see any of my transcripts yet either just the wages one that says no return filed and no other info or numbers on it. I am not sure about the IPSU message, I can’t get into my personal transcripts, but since we filed joint and he is primary I can see my husbands. Not sure what that’s about either.

@pugtor

That sucks! I knew the ACA forms were going to be a bother so I made sure (3 times) that mine were included when I efiled. You should be able to fax them. I saw somewhere on here someone posted the fax and phone number with ext to follow up. They said it only took 2 days.

@kygal

Yes we are right along there with you. I am really hoping to see updates tomorrow, but I want to say last year I didn’t see my update until Sunday (she said weekends can be slow due to system updates).

@Tallahassee

Going off of one year I cannot say you are one of us weeklies, but if all your returns (or last 2-3 years) end in 05 then you SHOULD see updates tomorrow-Monday morning.

@Josh

You need to check your older transcripts to see if the end in 05 to determine that.

Sorry for taking a while to post. I got frustrated and decided to change the sheets and look up DIY hidden litter box ideas to distract myself LOL!

[nancy]

I got my state back on netspend 4 days early. My ddd was Tuesday Feb 3 and i got it Friday Jan 30 th at 3pm.

[Disappointed]

Filed and accepted 1/29 afternoon through Turbotax. One bar (processing) on WMR. N/A on all transcripts, Wage Transcript for 2014 says ‘no record of return filed’. No major changes, move within same zip code, first year student, had insurance through hubby’s work, same dependents. WMR shows Tax Topic 152, but that is automatic, right? Called Turbotax yesterday and they said to expect an update within 24-48 hrs, but I feel like I should know by now.

Previous cycle codes are 20140604, 20130601, and 20120404. Deposits were 2/10/14, 2/6/13, 1/23/14 — all within days of filing. Can anyone explain to me what might be the hold up in my case? I My hubby has been temporarily laid off so any extra $$$ would take a weight off our shoulders. If it was an offset, I’d know by now, right? Or review?

Any advice or info would be great! Thank you.

[Nikki]

You can actually buy a NetSpend card at your local Walmart CVS or Rite Aid. I had that situation occur about two years ago and after going through a rigorous identity verification process and speaking with the rep for almost 30 minutes they transferred my money. It can take up to 1 to 2 hours but if you’re patient when you speak with the rep you should be able to get your money transferred to another card.

[Imh]

@candigirl

I thought once it is rejected it’s just rejected. Hopefully in 5 days you’ll have your paper check and won’t have to deal with the bank saying they are going to try again.

[TTuser]

My grandmother filed 2/2 and her DDD is 2/6. But I filed 1/27 and I still have nothing, not transcripts or DDD. There doesn’t seem to be any reason for who gets a DDD and who doesn’t. Waiting sucks :(

[LINDA]

I filed my taxes on 1/12/15, I got accepted on 1/21/15 but it still shows as my taxes are processing, is anyone else having the same problem

[Bobbi]

2/6 ddd. On sbbt now and released, should have by tomorrow, also got state in wv without the site updating, still shows processing.

[TTuser]

Yes, I’m still waiting on mine. You can call customer service and pay (mine was $30.95) to have them rush you a card. I ordered mine last night and I should have it Friday or Monday at the latest.

[Chelsea]

Filed and was accepted 2/2.

One bar, tt152, no transcripts for me yet either.

[TXROSE]

My 2/6 refund deposit…

I have NFCU ..It has posted to the account on 2/5 – But will be moved to available balance after the system updates tonight .

So no bill paying till 2/6 :(

But , I have to say – So Glad this year has moved faster than the previous years (for me)
I tried filing before opening day and seemed to get caught up in weeks of unknown delay’s

Now my thoughts are waiting a good 5-7 days after opening filing.

[Joy]

@mstorilivsand Thank you so much. I also filed on 1/28 with Taxact and got a deadcycle number. Hopefully we will see an update Monday!

[AraneaStar]

No updates for me either…

[Jonny]

I talked to HRblock this morning we were having a conversation about the dead cycle and blank transcripts. The customer service rep told me whatever date you have on your blank transcript is the maximum you have to wait for your refund. Take mine for example. My blank transcript says Feb, 16, 2015. If it was telling me the truth I should receive my DD before that date. I hope she is right. I can wait til the 16th with bells on. Last year I didn’t get my refund until april 28 2014

[Cafeazucartx]

So sorry for the typos… Sorry this was on my phone:/

[Cafeazucartx]

The sbtpg released my funds this morning but bluebird saidbtheyvdintbhave anything. I know it usually takes a day or two for Amex accounts. Is it true they aren’t very genorous with relasing them before the given DDD by the IRS? Thanks

[Anonymous]

still nothing for me, filed 1/29 and got acceptance email within 3 hours.
checked h&r block online the next morning and it said i was accepted 1/30
no access to transcripts and had 1 bar this whole time
checked on 2/3 and still the same tried transcripts though and told me to call ispu
did so and the irs verified and they said my acceptance date moved to 2/2…
1 bar/tt 152/ no transcripts

[Anonymous]

E-Filed both Federal and State returns thru Turbo Tax on 1/29. Got accepted the same day, The past few days WMR has one bar, today it disappeared. I’ve been trying to access Transcripts but I can’t log in even if I have my correct credentials/info and instead I keep getting instructed to call the 800 908 4490 (IPSU-identity theft). I never reported of any issues regarding identity theft, first time this happened. Tried to order via phone (Transcript Hotline) and the automated system stated they don’t have any info with my 2014 return. :(

[JennAnnon]

Update: I checked WMR site this morning and the bars are gone with just a notice saying you will receive a refund date when processed. So, Yeah are money is getting ready to roll out! I will post as soon as I get any changes!

Cycle Posted: 20150504

[sherry1969]

Anyone with USAA have deposit yet? If so was it early or on exact date of DDD

[Josh]

I filed on 1-28 and accepted same day by Irs. Does that make me a 05er too? I can’t see my transcripts yet.

[AraneaStar]

Checked this morning, still no update on WMR (bars and amount missing since 2/3) and still no transcripts.

@mstorilivsand, thank you for your continued sleuth work and information! :-)

[Tallahassee]

My cycle code from last year is 20141005 what does this mean??? Help please!

[Anonymous]

still the same, hoping for an update withing the next 2 days…
1 bar, tt152, and no access to transcripts.

[candigirl]

Yes, this has happened to us this year too. We have been using HR block emerald card for 8+ years and have never been rejected until this year. The correct routing number and acct number was on the return. DD was supposed to be 1/30 and I’m just now finding out it was rejected for some unknown reason. I had to get rowdy with the bank in order for them to dig deeper to find out where my money was. All the IRS could tell me was that they sent it to my bank. I tell you what we are working for our money with all these hoops we got to jump through. This is a frustrating time of year. So how long does it take to get the paper check once the bank rejects the refund? Also, the bank was saying that they are going to run it back through in 5 days. That doesn’t sound right. I thought once its rejected it’s rejected. I couldn’t understand. Does anyone know? I don’t need my money flip flopping all around.

[Tallahassee]

How cool is that? 2 ppl from Tally with the same issue lol. I’ve been reading where some people are getting their prior year transcript faxed over to them to see what cycle code they have. I just did it after being on hold for an hour. Supposedly your cycle code can give you some insight as to when you can expect it. I’m an 05’er.

[kygal]

Filed 1/29 TurboTax Accepted 1/29

Still one bar on WMR tax topic 152 as of just now

Unable to view 2014 transcripts as of just now

I pulled my transcripts from prior years and my cycle dates have been 20140605, 20130605, 20120605, and 20110708. Looks like I’m a weekly updater. I’ve always received my refund on a Wednesday. I’m hoping that we will see an update this weekend and see our refunds in the bank 2/11/15.

I called my state revenue department and my state was processed on 2/3/15 and she said the direct deposit should be within 3-5 days of that date. Hopefully will see that dep in the bank tomorrow.

[Jonny]

@pugtor The 8962 form would only be needed if you paid premiums for your Health care. The 1095-a is if you purchased your Insurance from the marketplace. I am not sure about all those forms. My family and I qualified for state run health care. We do not have to pay any premiums and it is not considered a marketplace insurance.

[Rrl]

I’m getting pretty frustrated..my refund was deposited into my netspend account on tues night..yet I still don’t have my card. Is there a way they will transfer it to another card? Turbotax doesn’t need to advertise a card that will not show up before ur refund..ridiculous.

[Shanice]

I filed on January 23 and a couple hours later I received a emailing saying the IRS has received my taxes but every time I check “Where’s My Refund” it keeps saying wait 24 hours after the IRS has received it well it’s been 13 days and it still says the same thing I filed with Jackson Hewitt what is the problem? And when I go on Jackson Hewitt it says they don’t have any info that matches their file.

[justasking]

i also filed on the 20th but I call irs 3 times and was told I was re-sequenced also so now they are telling me that my process started on the 30th I guess after that issue started about I was recycled and had to be put back in. so far no letters but last I was accepted in 4 days than I got topic 1121 and was under review and after all that I didn’t get my money until the end of july. I hope this aint the case again. so far when I did call they said everything looked normal I can access my account through mail, but no return. and when I try to get info online I get locked out. when I first filed I could get info but it was in encryption. so after a week I was locked out. this is crazy to me I really don’t understand I do have topic 152 but does that really mean anything anymore? I wish I had answers because I am a single mother and every dollar is need I have two kids that are growing by the day. so if anyone know what is going on please inform me also I too live in Tallahassee.

[texasmama]

I have seen a lot who updated yesterday, with a ddd of 2/6 & some who updated this morning with 2/9. There are also a lot of people who still have not seen updates though. Myself included. There is no rhyme or reason to it. People who filed 1/20 some have updates, a lot don’t. Same goes for us, I suppose. It is, unfortunately, whenever they get to it. It really stinks.

[shondell123]

I had the right routing number

[csmith]

filed and accepted on the 30th. no movement yet on wmr :/ my mom and sister got theirs a week after they filed and they never had more than one bar. maybe those of us that have not gotten updates will just wake up in the AM with money lol. heres to hopin

[Marie]

This is the first year I have really payed much attention to WMR and trying to figure out what to expect in terms of approval time. I filed and was accepted on 1/30. I see that it says 21 days for refund, but I’m afraid that I will have a lot going on that could delay my refund. I got married, changed my name, started college, the whole insurance thing (did have insurance the entire year) and switched a dependent with my ex husband. Anyone know if all that could potentially majorly delay an approval or is it somethings that could still be processed relatively quickly? I’m more concerned with getting a transcript because I have to mail off a state school grant application and they need one for 2014.
