The status doesn’t. Change much just the “a refund date will be provided when available ” disappeared about 3 days before deposit I got mine last Thursday and wmr still says processing, I’m guessing it because you original tax return is changed as the amounts are so it doesn’t update? Also some people get TA’s and that speeds it up a lot also your file date doesn’t have anything to do with how long you’ve been waiting even if you filed 1/1/13 the IRS didn’t open until 1/30 (they did run test batches) but when you have education credits it wasn’t accepted until 2/14 that means you are in the 7th week of waiting maybe the 8th tomorrow I am a 0605’er I got mine last week so maybe 2 more weeks but I also got a TA and 3 days later mine was processed
Also I did also read that there is a couple of peolpe that had no update on the WMR and refund was deposited in there acount.
My return accepted on 1/24, due to education credits waited till 2/14. I called IRS yesterday and they told me if I do not have any changes on WMR by Friday to call them since my 11 week was Friday. I was previously told by IRS rep. I had to wait till end of April for my 11th week . My cycle date is 805, I did see on Facebook Injured spouse page that there is still people waiting for refunds with 605 and 705 cycle dates but there is some 805 cycle dates that have received there DDD. Also seems as not many people are getting DDD this week.
I’m so lost.
This is our first year filing injured spouse. The VA over paid my husband when he was using the GI Bill last year and he was told they would deduct what he owes from our taxes… which would have been the whole refund.
We filed electronically on 2/21and it was accepted pretty much right away, though I can’t remember the exact date. Our WMR states that it is still processing and a refund date will be provided when available… so just like everyone else… we wait.
I did order the transcript from the IRS and it states 4/15/13 as the Received Date. What does that mean? Also our cycle is 20130905… does that mean anything useful?
We’ll be going on 7 weeks this Thursday since filing… should we be seeing something soon?
Ok so just got off the phone with the nicest rep ever and she said i will see a dd next week :) she said some of my refund has been applied to offset but that I am still receiving most of my refund and I will get a deposit next week :-) yay
Mine was also accepted on 4 Feb. and still nothing. Every time I call I hear the same thing “It takes up to 14 weeks”. Sure would be nice to have it before then.
If you count from the day I filed it was 9 weeks count your 8 weeks from they day it was accepted I also knew I was about to get mine because I called the offset line and it told me the amour applied
You may want to look at that mine was accepted February 4th yours was march 5th I got mine last Thursday I guess it was 8 weeks but you might have another 3 weeks to wait I only counted 4 weeks since you have filed 5 weeks as of Today
You can say that again @brokeandfrustrated! I’m on the px right now with irs to see if I can get an update ill let you know if I can squeeze anything out of them :-)
Pamela….it gives me a little hope that it only took 7 weeks for you to get your refund, maybe we will get ours that quickly as well. Our 7 weeks is up this Saturday. It would be really nice to see a refund next week!
Ok thanks so much :-) !
I noticed the change on a Monday afternoon and got DD Thursday
Hey @pamela79 I was wondering exactly how many days before your DD did you see the “a refund date will be provided when available” disappear? This is my 7th week and mine WMR still hasn’t changed :(
Sounds about right mine took 7 weeks files 1/30 accepted 2/4 got my refund last week
I have been reading everyone’s post and I too am still waiting. I filed an injured spouse form along with my return electronically. It was accepted on 2/28 and the injured spouse form was accepted on 3/5. I cannot get any answers from IRS as to what is going on. I had 2 representative tell me that it usually does not take 11 weeks and on an average 7-8 weeks, but they have to say it’s going to take 11 weeks This is my first year filing this form and I was hoping I would get my refund before the 11 weeks. So
frustratingThat’s ridiculous @waiting13..im sorry I really hope it doesn’t take that long because that is just rediculous. Honestly. Rediculous.
I called the IRS back and spoke with another agent, who told me that everything was completed but that the coding on the form would not process thru the computer. She said that it is a computer issue and was escalated to their code unit to determine what codes will let it pass thru the system, she also stated that it could be an additional 8-12 weeks….here’s to hoping the rest of you do not run into this coding issue. :(
The cycle date is the day the IRS received your claim
Hello everyone. I will wait with you because it seems like I am in for a longer wait and I can’t get any answers from the IRS. Below is my story:
E-filed our return and injured spouse form on Feb. 23, accepted within a day or two.
Had one orange bar on WMR until early March, then message change to the “your return is being processed a refund date will be provided when available.” Still have that same message.
Called offset line about a week and a half ago, was told our refund would be offset, but no amount was given.
Ordered return transcripts on March 26 and received April 2. Cycle date on transcripts of 20130905, I was told by BartD the cycle date doesn’t really mean anything.
We have not received any letters at all from the IRS about errors or anything else. April 6th was six weeks since we filed. I know that injured spouse refunds can take up to 11 weeks, but was really hoping that it would be a lot sooner. I think it is ridiculous that it take so long. Have considered getting a TA because husband and I are both unemployed with no health insurance and we both need to see a dr. for health issues and can’t until we get our refund. But then I heard that a TA can’t help you unless you are in danger of eviction or utilities being shut off. Ugh! Have any of your gotten your refund yet and how long did you wait?
@Waiting13 I would honestly call back only because they hired a bunch of new people to help with the large number of calls, and it sounds like you got a newbie :( explain your situation and tell her that you got disconnected before he could elaborate, they get their panties in a wad if you say you don’t think the other agent knew what he was talking about :-)
@whatthebleep no the agent only stated that the computer didn’t like what it was seeing, which didn’t seem to be a very professional answer from my side of the conversation. He also asked for my number in case they had any additional questions for me, however I can not fathom with as hard as it its to get answers that they would have the time to call me back. I am considering calling back to see if I can get someone else that can elaborate a little more.
@waiting13 from what I’ve been seeing over on the home page..this is happening to people for reasons like education credit, or identity verification, amongst other things. However, this is the first time I’ve seen it in an injured spouses case, did the agent say exactly what was wrong? For all we know it could just be a different way of saying you have to wait 11-14 weeks which is the irs estimated time frame to process injured spouse refunds.
Here is my situation I filed my injured spouse after my electronic return, i was told to wait 6-8 weeks. I called on April 4th and was told it was in a transaction phase so no date could be given, but I could expect my return in within two weeks . I called back today on the 8th of April to see if I could possibly get a date for deposit. Upon doing so the person on the line informed me that the computer saw something it didnt like and when this happens they have to reprocess …he told me it could be an additional 6-8weeks ?!?!? This is for a school loan of my spouses that was offset which I am not responsible for, does that seem right that it would be another 6-8 weeks? …./depressingly yours waiting13
In regards to interest, last October we filed IS for both 2010 & 2011. We did not get any interest for 2011, but we got about $300 interest on the 2010 check. What stinks is then at the end of the year the IRS sent us a 1099 for the interest & it actually had to be listed on this years IS form as income. Because the check was in both of our names, I had to claim $146 income (1/2 the amount) on the IS form. My husband is the IS & is only source of income so I hope that measly little $146 didn’t mess thing up.
Congratulations @cmanfresh! Let us know what happens!
wmr status change from processing date will be provided when available. to tax return is being processed. also fms has offset amount. so ill be getting my refund soon hopefully.

I know what you mean I just got mine last week and was seeing people that filed at the end of feb getting theirs back if only they did them in the order received
Yes, it still says a refund date will be provided when available. Right now the system is down, so i cannot check the latest status. My sister in law was also told that the internet site and mobile app for WMR is not as up to real time as the phone hotline. I not sure, they both tell me that my tax return is still being processed and adate will be provided when available. Frustrating.
Does it also say a refund date will be provided when available, we have been noticing that, that part of the status disappears 3-4 days before direct deposit
I am on day 67 of waiting for my deposit. I called IRS on my 42nd day, which was a Monday. I was told that I would receive my refund on that Friday which would be day 45. I did not and still have not received it. I called this past week, which was my 62nd day and the lady told me that I needed to wait until day 77 (11 weeks) to call again. She said that they do not give our info until atleast week 11. I am so tired of the run around. It would be nice if everyone gave the same info. But each time you call, it could be 5 times in a row; each rep gives you different info. My status still shows that is is being processed. I filed 1/30-excepted 2/1 and according to a couple reps, it was sent to injured spouse claim department on 2/7. I hope they figure it out. And where do I find info regarding interest? I have never heard of that. Thanks
Hey everyone I still have no news, I’m assuming nobody else has any updates? Hopefully Monday will bring some good news! :-)
Ok thanks @pamela79 saw someone talking about interest so I got curious..
I have seen some people say that they got interest with theirs before though I’m not sure if it was because they were paid after the 14th week or if it was after April 15 th for previous years
Hey guys i got a question do injured spouse filers get paid interest if they don’t get us our refund by 4/15 ? Probably not huh?
@maximo2 you are not alone this is our first year too and hopefully our last if we can help it
Yeah, I hadn’t heard about it either, don’t know if its the truth they tell us, or just a stall tactic. This is first year as IS so at least I know what to expect next year.
@maximo2 didn’t know about the 4 week hold issue that explains a little more about why injured spouse takes so long thanks for the update
Just an update. Filed 1/31 accepted, offset 2/7, mailed in injured spouse form 2/7. Just talked to helpful guy at IRS, Said everything was done processing and money was received back from Dept. of Education 3/9 but that automatic 4 week hold of funds after they get them back for all offsets. Money is scheduled to be released to me 4/9 but it won’t be DD it will be paper check, (he said all IS claims are mailed checks, but I’ve seen people on here say they got theirs DD, so I’m hoping for DD but I’ll be happy with a check by 4/15. Will update if I ever see money. Good luck to all of us, maybe our blood pressure will go down soon.
@pamela79 ok :-)
@whatthebleep thanks I think we will just wait it out and wait for the refund from dept of education I can remodel then instead of waiting while they keep taking money out of my husbands pay check
@pamela79 that’s a toughy part of me says that’s your money go for it, but the other part would be afraid of overpaying like you said. In the end I would probably not do it just because I’ve never been a risk taker of any sorts, but maybe you could ask around and see if there’s anyone who has pursued this type of dispute and won the case, if there are then I’d go for it. I’ll talk to my family friend and see if he has any input :-)
We got 2 deposits too I wonder why?
That’s super helpful thanks and so happy for you @moneybound13!
UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POST:
April 2nd I stated my status change but still no date determined. Well at 1AM my phone sent me an alert of not 1 but 2 deposits! Child Support didn’t even take my hubby’s return so we got the full amount this AM! I couldn’t go back to sleep and didn’t go back to sleep until 3AM all I could do was lay there haha. FYI my return was accepted on 2/2/13, my transcripts had a cycle date of 20130605 and the processing date was April 15th while the received date on the transcript showed 2/25/13.
Hope this is helpful and hopeful for those of you still waiting it out!!No problem now I am debating on filing a dispute but at the same time I’ve heard they hold the money for 6 months the way it is and that will just prolong his student loans from getting paid, the way it sits now they will have a $2000 overpayment by the time they get the refund, what would you do? File with the IRS or wait for the refund from dept of education? If I file a dispute and lose and the IRS holds the money longer we could end up over paying a lot more and having to wait for them to give the money back, I don’t really NEED the money I just wanted to do some home improvements
Congratulations @pamela79! also I wanted to tell you that your guy was right about the cycle dates I talked to a friend of the family who actually works for IRS and he said cycle dates do start at first of year, but they are just for IRS processing. Just thought I’d let you know :) thanks for all of your help and information :-)
Got our refund today it went in as DD filed 1/30 wmr changed last Friday from a refund date will be provided when available to we received your return and it is processing……. There’s some hope for people :)
Thanks for the info @cmanhefresh
Another interesting information for refund:
filed and accepted jan 30. hope this helps youll
called was told amount of injured spouse refund but wasnt givin ddd.
IRS gave me refund amount over phone. wmr site never updated. agent said should receive refund in 3-4 weeks. called back was told still processing gave me amount and said 11 weeks would be april 14 . and i should get my refund on the week of april 14 .
Thanks for all the information on what WMR might say. I’ll just keep watching it to see if it ever changes.
Neither of us we make too much money but my husband makes more that me so he is listed first
Last year I filed as Head of Household and we got a good amount of money back. I also payed more taxes too.
@pamela79 Well so far I have been filing as Head of Household. My husband has been in and out of jobs so I have been paying for all the living expenses. Are you head or your husband?
That’s funny we just changed ours to 14 deductions we have 4 kids plus we over paid I’ve $2000 last year it would have been a nice refund but they kept pretty much all of it even the child tax credits
I will wait will you too! I am waiting for my refund. My husband has his refund offset. So we filed injured spouse with our return on 2/16. I know that it takes at least 8 weeks, but the waiting is hard. Last year It didn’t take so long, only 6 weeks. This time it seems like an eternity. I called the IRS and the first time was okay, but the second time the person was really rude. I am waiting for the transcripts now. We may just file separately after this… Not cool. I am, however, taking out the maximum deductions now out of my paycheck. I rather owe the IRS than wait for them to return my money. I mean thousands they owe me…
Still no DD but I’m guessing since I have a TA it will be a paper check I’m upset that they took all the child tax credits and put it to my husbands debt I’m not going to waste my time filing injured Spode next year for the small amount we are getting back its not even enough to pay my cell bill lol hopefully the rest of you will get better news :)
good news for you and some hope for the rest of us thanks for the info @kris7
I called the number and extension I posted after I got of work yesterday. 45 minute wait. The man helping me was very nice but I think he was new because he kept asking someone,” Is that right?” or “Where do I get that information?” . He was not in the injured spouse department but was able to see that they had my form and said it looks like it is in the final stages. So I guess this isn’t an injured spouse specific number. Sorry about that! He also said most injured spouse forms are taking about 8 weeks this year. Oh! I also looked at WMR today and it had changed BACK to the message from before(Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available) and the number and extension from yesterday are gone now.
The offset line have me the amount applied maybe try calling if they get there’s you should get yours soon?
Isn’t the IRS great? It took me at least a week to get the real number I will see if I can find a different one
Btw I have a TA once you get one they are the only ones you can talk to and it takes weeks for them to return calls I got mine about 2 weeks ago then I got a call last week to let me know they will call me on April 11th so if you can avoid getting one at this point I would its great to get one in the beginning when you file I saw people with a TA get their refunds in about 5 weeks did anyone try the number Kris posted and get thru? Make sure you ignore the promos if you are calling most numbers that is the only way to talk to a live person
That is the practicioner priority line. It is only for those holding a CAF number or POA.
If you wanted to get transcript information you can cal(866) 860-4259 they should be able to pull up your info to go thru it with you- i have not called this number it was given to me by someone elsel
I don’t have the ability to talk to anyone there one I give them my social security number they won’t give me any information I have called the IRS about 10 times so I went thru my call log on my cell service and tried to post the number I thought it was
I called the 1040 number to ask about the cycle date thing on my transcripts it didn’t have anything to do with my return I called the innocent spouse line on accident they gave me the injured spouse line # they said it was the 829-0922
@pamela79 thats not just for injured spouses its for everyone but I thought you said you called and talked to someone today? About the cycle dates? Nt saying youre fibbing but maybe it was the 8003043107 # and they just recently started putting the option for injured spouses to call the IRS at the 1040 # because they wanted us to stop calling them at the offset number.
Yea that was the number but call the one kris posted I remember the ext thing now I haven’t called since February
Yes kris is right I remember having to hit the ext
Thanks @kris7 hope you get good news :-)
My WMR status changed from the processed message, to the received message then today to: We are unable to give you information on your refund. Please wait 4 weeks until after filing to call for information about your refund. I filed the 25th of Feb electronically with the Injured Spouse attached. It then said, ” If you would like additional information about your refund please call 1-800-829-0582 and ask for extension 362. Not sure if this is helpful! I can’t call until after work but will let you know what I find out after that if the information is helpful
I thought you had a number to reach the injured spouse department…???
I just called it, I don’t know what you mean by refund line? I thought people wanted the number to check the status of their refund?
