PLEASE NOT: The FACT that you are able to order TRANSCRIPTS has nothing to do with it and doesn’t mean anything is processed.

[Jennifer]

How do you do that??

[Anonymous]

@MCRT88 That makes sense as well. I have been reading what you just posted, and I confirm the validity of that. I think its a smart move (even though I don’t like it personally lbvs). I’m pretty new to this process, but from what I read the transcript theory can go either way. There are some folks that have gotten DD’s before they were able to order transcripts, and vise versa.

From what I gather based on that, if you can get a transcript, it seems legit that your money is on its way! So cheers to those who have it! :)

[Anonymous]

Have you checked to make sure it isn’t being offset??
Idk what could be holding you up. Best
Of wishes though.

[Jennifer]

I can’t order nothing I filed Jan 4 through Jackson Hewitt and accepted Jan 11 I can’t do anything!!!!

[amchelem]

So I’ve seen people talking about two different transcripts. What’s the difference and how do you tell which one you are attempting to order?

[Anonymous]

I was able to order my account first, and then when I woke up I could do my return. So I’m guessing they just now got mine done. I was also accepted on the 11th, and filed on the 6th.

[Jennifer]

I got accepted on Jan 11 and still can’t order my transcripts wtf????????

[Jcable2]

MCRT88 they got rid of the online transcripts because last year, with all the security breaches, hackers got enough information on people that they was able to log in and gain access to transcripts of many people. The IRS is working on bringing transcripts back online once they can be sure to have a better security protecting them.

[Anonymous]

Was just able to order my return transcript! Guys I have a really amazing feeling they will be here tomorrow- Friday. Don’t worry be happy! Merry refund season!

[tinabear]

Ca messing with me again! No info on FTB this morning…

@DJ

I don’t know if this is 100% accurate or true for everybody, but I know that the IRS is trying to prevent people from acquiring their Transcripts before they have their Refund in hand. They actually changed it on their website, too. As it now states that:
“If you filed electronically AND you have no balance or are owed a refund then please allow 2-3 weeks after your return submission to request a transcript.”
They did this because of the last few years, transcripts became immediately (or close to it) available, and everybody and their mother were attempting to get on and order them to figure out their refund date, offsets, codes, etc. Which would in turn over load their servers causing them to have technical errors and spend more on IT support. Which is why they also got rid of the online downloading of transcripts.
SO, while some people may be claiming that they are able to order their transcripts (and I am not saying they are lying), I doubt that EVERYBODY will be able to order their transcripts immediately. It doesn’t mean that anything is wrong, just that the IRS hates us for being impatient. Lol.

Exactly@MCRT88 … If you are a mature adult who has been dealing with the IRS for YEARS, you know that this is normalcy for the Internal Revenue Service. They haven’t waivered once, from the normal processing of tax returns. I am however humored at the flood of “I want my money now” and “what’s wrong with the WMR” comments. Seriously… it’s not a issue with the IRS, the issue is with us!! Calm down. Stop getting hype over nothing because at the end of the day … the IRS will not change and honestly has not changed. They are consistent with the no updates to a week later ONLY on Wed-Sun and no updates on Mon and Tues. Consistent with ACCEPTING returns early and APPROVING after the official start date. Consistent with not sending any funds till the following Wed and/or Fri and then additional dates after the season jumps off. They won’t release one red cent until they are fiscally prepared Too and no matter how many times you call or log on….. ZERO will happen until it is time.

So lets all get some wine, sit back and wait. Post your plans with your refund whenever it comes. Treat yourself and your family. Move forward and know that next year IT WILL BE THE EXACT SAME THING. :o)

[ItsComing]

I filed in the 11 accepted in the 12 and still 1 bar, can’t order transcripts or anything in that nature

[Anonymous]

So I ordered my tax transcripts for 2015 and it went through fine. Said I would receive them by mail. Does that mean my return was processed? Thoughts?

[Sara]

I was accepted early on 1/14 and I was able to order my account transcript for 2015 but not my return transcript. Is that normal? Does that just mean irs processed but the return hasn’t been issued?

[harrod]

Mine now says it has been processed but has not been deposited.

[Didoo]

File : 1/19/16 at 11:47 pm accepted 1/20/16 12 am as a matter of fact it was still before 12 am when I was excepted and it all took maybe 3 minutes before my federal was accepted wmr also was available for me same night I was accepted 1 bar as of today no movement on wmr and no available transcripts for this tax season I filed with tax act have used them for past 5 years with exception of turbo tax one of the years last year I do remember if you were able to get transcripts you get ddd next day and refund within the following day or two so transcripts are a sign you are complete unless you have a freeze code which this year we cannot see. also transcripts can complete anytime during the day.

[Staci]

Mine says:

Your return was received and information is currently being updated to your account. Please allow 8 to 10 weeks from today to receive your refund. If you need additional information, please call 717-787-8201 and a representative will help you.

[al]

If u filed between 1/11&1/19 your ddd is 1/29

[Harley]

That’s what I thought. It’s saying my address doesn’t match tho. We did just pcs back to the states from Germany. Maybe they still have our APO address on file.

I’ll try that.

If that doesn’t work….well, I’ll just pray we see a DDD tomorrow. Fingers crossed!!

[Anonymous]

@Chelsea – That makes sense :) Thanks for letting me know.

[gtjibbb]

@mcrt88….thank you for that, I think you are right, that is my timeline from last year as well.

[gtjibbb]

I could not order transcripts this am, I just tried again and was able to. Fingers crossed!!! :)

[Casey]

To everyone who is ? the transcript information, here is a link to the IRS website with the needed info. https://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Transcript-Availability

[Anonymous]

DJ last year there were people able to order their transcripts before mine were available. Mine came available a day or 2 later and we had the same dd date. They can’t possibly process them all at once so probably daily you will see more transcripts available. Still waiting on mine this year.

[Gennefur]

@Harley Also I forgot to add, it is how you put it on your taxes when you filed so if you put 1234 Apple St or 1234 Apple Street that is how it would be

[gtjibbb]

Filed through TT 1/16
Refiled through Ohio.gov 1/22
Accepted ohio.gov 1/25
Rejected TT 1/26

[Anonymous]

I just called because I couldn’t get past the verification part online. I wasn’t able to order my return transcripts…Looks like no DDD for me! Maybe tomorrow I will be able to order them and I’ll have my money next week?? Hope so.

On another note…I keep telling you the IRS doesn’t do returns on first come first served. It would be great if they did but they don’t. Every year I see people get them after people who filed before them even without offsets or review.

[Gennefur]

@Harley It is your street so it would be 1234 Apple Street

If I lived on 1234 Apple Street, not the city or state

[Me]

I got a DDD from SBBT 2/4. I got accepted on the 14th

[Me]

DDD through sbbt 2/4

[Anonymous]

@ DJ
Im the exact same thing used TT, accepted on 12th, cant order transcript, and SBBT has not received yet

[amberL]

How do I order my transcript?

[Anonymous]

I was accepted for my Federal on 1/12/16 through TT, and minutes ago went to order my transcripts. I was not able to order them at this time.

Here is the message I received when trying to obtain both transcript types:

“A transcript is not available for the year you have requested. Please complete Form 4506-T or contact us at http://www.irs.gov.”

Not sure how anyone around that same time frame is able to order them… Weird.

On TT both returns (Fed & State) show accepted, DDD of 1/19/16-2/8/16, 1st bar on the IRS site, and SBTPG shows I have an anticipated DDD date of 2/2/16.

Have not received any state (Nebraska) deposit as of today’s date as well.

General message received that reads, “Your e-filed return has been received. You can expect your refund within 7 to 21 days from the date of filing if your return is complete and free of errors. The Department may need to hold and review your return to ensure accuracy and validity. This may result in a delay of your refund.”

Anybody wondering about pending deposits to a netspend card, there won’t be any pending anything because it is a prepaid card. As soon as the irs sends the funds over to the card they are available. They don’t hold it. It’s prepaid. This is my 2nd year using the netspend card for taxes and I used it all last year for military pay roll. I got paid 6 days faster than anyone else in my military unit for using this card. Because they don’t hold the funds, there is no processing time, as soon as the funds are send over no matter what the direct deposit date is the funds become available the second they hit the card. Hope this clears up any confusion with pending deposits for this netspend card.

[Anonymous]

I still can’t order mine. I was accepted 1/14. Maybe it will be available later or tomorrow. I’m guessing all of you who can order them will have a deposit this week.

I was able to order my transcript this morning. I filed on the 11th & got accepted on the 11th. I wasn’t able to order transcripts until this morning. It’s a good sign

[MCRT88]

It will come. I can almost GUARANTEE that we will have WMR updated to 2 bars with DDD’s tomorrow morning..
I went through my bank history, old posts on this website, etc. and for the past 3-4 years Tax season has opened (week 1 day 1) and then the next Wednesday (week 2 day 8) WMR has updated and given DDD’s for that Friday (week 2 day 10). Last year Tax season opened on the 20th, people who filed on the 21st or before, all got their WMR updated on Weds (1/28), and had DDD’s for Friday (1/30). The year before that tax season had delays (1/31) and was a little off, but for the most part, ran about the same.
Typically, it’s about 8 days (or the 2nd weds) after the official start of tax season until WMR updates and about 10 days (or the 2nd Friday) until the first DDD. Until then, THERE IS NO REASON TO WORRY.
Now, if you filed early and you don’t have your money this Friday, WMR has updated and there is no movement THEN start panicking but for now, this all right on track with the average timeline. Everything is NORMAL. It just seems like it isn’t because of the anxiety of something going wrong, offsets, reviews and everything else that can happen in between filing and getting that paper! Lol. :)

[Harley]

When filling out the address for transcripts it just asks for street address. Do I include the city and state as well?

[MissSu2u]

@atb043 I have went on other forums on this site and it seems that people that have filed after the 19th are able to order their transcripts. My friend did his on the 19th and was accepted on the 19th but he is still unable to order transcripts too. This tax season kind of puts me back of 2014 when they has everyone under review…..Praying for movement soon

[courtney]

I filed on the 7th accepted on the 11th … tbg didn’t have my info at first and now they do as of 2 days ago with a customer number…. still cannot order transcripts . Last year was much faster … I didn’t file early last year … anyone have an idea?

[Darbie]

Dee, I am not getting anyone’s hopes up but I was able to order transcripts today regardless of what you have been told. If it means anything or not is still to be seen.

[TraciT]

Just filed today (TaxAct) and was accepted within minutes. I’ll try to remember to post any updates – when they happen. :)

[Anonymous]

…

[Anonymous]

abt043 there are several that filed before 1/19 who said they were able to order a transcript. Scroll down the feed, you’ll see them.

Dee the IRS always told me a later date over the phone. They just want people to stop bothering them. From what it says on the IRS website, you should be able to order your transcript 2-3 weeks after your return was submitted, if it has been processed already. Maybe some people’s have already been processed. I don’t think everyone is lying.

[Tasha]

I just got off the phone with netspend the guy told me they had received information that the irs is releasing deposits today could not tell me who I’m only hoping I get my deposit today since I was accepted on the 14

I was accepted for my Federal on 1/11/16 and was finally able to order my transcripts today. I tried yesterday and I could not. WMR still has one bar as being accepted only.

[Dee]

I spoke to the IRS this morning. This is what the guy told me……

Transcripts: you must be approved and refunded BEFORE you can get a transcript. The return must be archived in order for a transcript to process.

Refund:
While my refund was accepted on 1/15 it did not begin processing until 1/20 after opening day. So it is 21 days from the date they show as accepted. He said while you could file early that it blatantly tells you on irs.gov that it will not begin processing until at earliest 1/19. So filing early got it out of the way but doesnt mean you will get a return before 2/5/16 which is the date THEY have for the first outgoing deposit.

He did say that refunds could be processed before 2/5 but he does not have any information about outgoing refunds for any earlier date.

SOOOOOO if your going to lie and say you hot a transcript or a DDD date on WMR show a screenshot. It is ridiculous to get peoples hopes up. It is also ridiculous to sit here and complain about the IRS not processing your return fast enough. You are 1 person out of millions that are filing. Wait your 21 days begore you complain. I mean damn really?!? Processing has only been in place for 7 days. I mean really?!?

I dont have a net spend card but I read on here yesterday people had pending deposits fo rtoday on netspend

@ Cletus… to funny…

[MarieVA]

I filed with Taxslayer 1/16. Return accepted on 1/19 around 11 a.m. Tried to order transcripts for this year to no avail. Was able to order transcript for last year with my old address ( I moved end of last year). Maybe they are just starting to process today due to these new security measure they are taking and it does appear that people able to order their 2015 transcripts filed after 1/19 which is kind of weird but it’s the IRS LOL.

[Cletus]

I NEED TO GET MY MONEY TO BUY A PATERNITY TEST. I THINK MY COUSIN IS LYING AND I AM NOT THE FATHER. HURRY UP IRS.

Have you noticed that so many this year are posting lies about DDD and transcripts? I read a post that this year IRS will not allow anyone to order transcripts until after refunds are issued

[Anonymous]

@Jennifer did you file through turbo tax?

[Gennefur]

I was able to order my transcripts this morning.

Filed with TT on 1/19
Accepted on 1/19
WMR shows one bar still

[atb043]

Have you noticed anyone that can order their transcripts filed after 1/19. It makes me scared that us earlier filers are stuck in tax purgatory somewhere. I didn’t want mine sent to the IRS early so I waited until 1/15 thinking the test batches had been done. I got my acceptance the same day on 1/15. Now I’m pissed off that I didn’t wait.

[mr.shy]

I filed on 1/8/16 and got accepted on 1/11/16 i filed with turbo tax and only got one bar o refund date say 29-1…and that year i got my money the same day they started accepting and only had one bar my bar didnt change into a week later

[IRSDestroysHD]

IRS Destroyed 3 Hard drive this month, No wonder they be taking so long for our funds, They’re to Busy destroying Hard drives, that the US Supream Court told them not too, I Sense a scandle somewhere.. What the fuck they to busy disobeying the US Court to give us taxes???? wow. pathetic.

[MCRT88]

Correction:

* ALWAYS rolls out the Weds *OF* the 2nd week, after tax season starts (tomorrow)*

[Dylan]

Accepted 1/11, still no DDD, not approved. Having dreams of being approved. It’s killing me!

[MCRT88]

@amie – It sounds to me like a standardized e-mail that gets sent out to multiple people. It probably says “You Qualify” and then you actually go through the motions and it eventually leads you to a place to set up DD..
On the other hand, based on past experience with friends, other people online and myself, the first batch of WMR updates ALWAYS rolls out the Weds on the 2nd week after tax season starts (tomorrow) and the first DD’s are always the Friday after that (this Friday). In the past, I have heard of QUITE A FEW Netspend users getting their money on their card as early as the Weds that WMR updates or the day after (1-2 days before their DDD).. SO, theoretically, depending on when you filed and were accepted, you could possibly have your money on your card as early as tomorrow or the day after. Either way though, if you’re in the first batch of DD’s it’ll be Friday at the latest. So don’t fret, it’s coming! :)
