[ferretmom]

@ Southern Dork – my gf and I filed the same day, I got my refund on netspend last night and my gf has a ddd of 2/6 to her bank and it hasn’t posted yet. So netspend is faster. Hope that helps :)

@Heather

@tony tone

You should both start to see updates Thursday night. You could see an update as soon as 10PM EST. Your top two transcripts will come in first and you will be able to see your account transcript by morning.

[Cbr6gurl]

Me again :) WMR just updated my info today and my DDD is Feb. the 6th. I filed Thursday the 29th around 8pm through HRB. Text on the 30th, about 10am, saying my efile had been accepted. My trans was available early Tuesday the 3rd.

[Rasten]

Just spoke with someone @IRS… Of course could not get a straight answer. I filed and was accepted on the 26th. She said it could just be and overload on WMR or just updating. She did however say, if there was something wrong she would not be able to tell me anything until the 21 days are up!!! They would also contact me if there were any issues. So back to playing the waiting game :(

[ty]

Ok well that time I was transfured and I was on hold for 10 min then it said something along the lines of call baxk tomorrow….. guess to many ppl on hold

[Anonymous]

@mstorilivsand

On page 16 and 17 it does in fact show the cycle codes for the weeks of the year. That’s exactly what I had already said lol. The cycle number is missing the last 2 digits as it’s not being associated with a specific day in it’s reference.

In addition to that, that publication is old and outdated. For example, that still references a cycle week starting on Wednesday. That is not accurate as of 1-1-15.

[Georgie562]

I found the 3 digit code.

it is listed on the transcript.
Check under the Transactions area. it should be something like this:

CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT
846 Refund Issued

[Kimikaze]

There is a group for just Transcripts so you may be able to get more answers there.

[Stuck]

I just filed and was accepted yesterday on 2/3, but I went back to look at my 2013 transcript and it has a 922 on it that says this:

CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT
922 Review of unreported income – 11-10-2014 $0.00

Does this mean they reviewed it and there is no unreported income?

[Chris]

Perry you have to go to IRS.gov and get your transcripts online

I have all the proper codes and still don’t have anything

[Kimikaze]

That code will be on your account transcript at the bottom where your refund amount is.

[Miranda]

Looks like on my transcripts which there are a bunch it has a date of 2/23 e filed also anyone know when I should receive my dd

[chris]

I just got my refund Feb 3rd on my netspend card. The where’s my refund tracker didn’t update to say my refund was approved until morning of Feb 4… and it said my refund would be there on Feb 6th…

but my netspend card shows it was deposited on Feb 3rd @ 8:45 PM!!!!

[Georgie562]

I would like to know the answer to this too. I Got 20150503 but I don’t see any 3 digit code.
I have a feeling the 3 digit code is from the Wheres My Refund website.

[Anonymous]

@tradami

Here it is! The end of page 15 and all of page 16 show the chart for the processing cycle dates. Then the previous link explains about how the dead cycles are pushed forward to cycle 201504.

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/6209_Section%2016_2014.pdf

This page also has the cycle dates for the posted transaction on the chart, which some people use to determine their deposit date if their transcript is empty but has the “AS OF” date.

[Anonymous]

@mstorilivsand

Do understand I’m not trying to argue, I’m just trying to make sure we’re all on the same page. I’ve reviewed that page quite a bit and I don’t see anything about dead submission cycles. The posting cycle as referenced in the section 3.30.123.4.7 “Dead Cycles” section is referring to the cycle code displaying on transcripts for example.

The three dead cycles each year are the first 3 weeks of January. They started processing returns on a dead cycle which is why everyone’s returns were processed a week later than anticipated. That in addition with other issues.

[AR]

@ SHERYL

It is sooo frustrating.. I feel like one of those women waiting for their child support check from a dead beat dad!! LOL
I will update whe I see any change. From what I have been reading online, not many people that filed 1/24 or 1/25 have had a DDD yet or received a refund yet. I have been looking for any answers all over the place. But you and I are not the only ones obviously. I wonder if it’s because we filed on the weekend and we really weren’t accepted the date that TT /IRS said.

[Joanna]

I filed 1/21/15 with DDD of 2/4/15 still no refund!!! BofA filed with Tax Act :(

[tony tone]

Filed 25 accepted 26 can view transcips all 000 bout to blow a gasket lol!!!

[texasmama]

Hey was digging around & looking at dates. Last year our transcript showed 2/23/14 & we got ours on 2/10. This year, the date says 2/23/15 so maybe we will get an update for 2/9 dd? Ugh, I hate feeling greedy when so many people are still with any news at all.

[Anonymous]

@tradami

No problem they are under the cycle definitions, dead cycles.

http://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/irm_03-030-123r.html#d0e1455

It talks about the cycles from the time it is sent to the campus until it is processed. There is more information if you look around. I found another bit of information posted by the IRS that was 16 pages, and there was info on the last page, but I cannot seem to find that one again. I stumbled upon it the first time when I was looking for the above page.

Additional Liability pending/or Credit hold (from the irs code pocket book)

[Rae]

Filed 1/29, approved same day in afternoon. WMR one bar, TT 152. No confirmation code from TT. I went to pull up my transcripts for 2014 and Return Transcript, Record of Account Transcript, and Account Transcript are all N/A. My Wage and Income Transcript says ‘no record of return filed’. What the hell, it has been a week. What does this mean? Did I do something wrong or should I be worried?

[SHERYL]

@AR
I have the same situation. Filed TT EFILE FREE EDITION EITH EIC, HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD 1/26, RECEIVED 1/26 ONLY 1 BAR ON WMR

I did taxes for my sister on 1/20 received 1/20 accepted 1/23 and her ddd was 1/30

did taxes for my friend 1/26 received 1/26 accepted 2/1 with ddd of 2/4 and she has her money.

I CANNOT REQUEST TRANSCRIPTS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CORRECT. I FEEL IRS HAS NOT RECEIVED FORMS!

[AnotherVoice]

@ty: I’m sorry that she connected you to the operator instead. She should have transferred you to Customer Service or at least given you the number, which is 800-829-0922. I wouldn’t bother calling that number, though, because you’ll have to go through the automated system and will probably end up waiting on the general line (if it even accepts you). It’s best to go through the Holds Department and get transferred. I just listed the steps that worked for me each time, but it no doubt depends on the representative that you get at the beginning. Personally, I would try again, especially since you don’t need to wait very long, but that’s just another one of my suggestions. I have found that they are very nice people in that department, though!

[Andrea]

I would like to know what number you’re calling to talk to a live person at the IRS? i couldn’t find one. i too have been waiting since the 20th. There is going to be an offset on mine though but not for the full amount. I can’t get a clear answer on how long these things take… If anyone knows anything about this, that would be very helpful. Thanks

[Anonymous]

I checked my transcripts, and got 20150503 code 846. I went back to WMR… and they wouldn’t let me check anymore. Said I have exceeded my daily limit. I guess I should stop obsessing…….. at least I can check on here with you all as often as I want.

[Anonymous]

The cycle code people are seeing on their transcripts are actually processing dates. Can you point me to the information you found on Submission codes?

[J.Lawrence]

Filed 1/31, accepted minutes later, no movement yet, no transcripts yet, checked just a few minutes ago.

[Anonymous]

@Jan22nd

I had a few people ask about TurboTax and some said they could not locate a submission id or confirmation code. But I suggest going to the TT status page, you enter some of your info and it gives you details. On TaxAct it gives you your original submission id with the 6 digit code. I am not 100% sure that TT does that, nobody has responded as to whether or not there is a code on there. I am beginning to think only the sites that are immediately accepting returns are giving the submission id codes because they are all coming up at dead cycle codes. But again, not enough information yet to back that theory up.

filed 1/24 accepted 1/24… only 1 bar on wmr.. unable get tax transcripts.. tells me info is not correct when I KNOW it is.. still no update on DDD.. it’s been 11 days and NOTHING!

[Anonymous]

MISSING TRANSCRIPTS? STILL 000?
If you got blank transcripts last monday/tuesday you will most likely see an update yet tonight by AM. There could be outside factors that would cause this not to happen though.

If you got blank transcripts last thursday/friday, expect to see an update on those days this week with a cycle code of 20150505.

CYCLE CODE OF 20150502 ?
WHAT IT MEANS:
If you got a cycle date of 0502 CONGRATULATIONS! Your return has been processed! Account transcript should be updated soon as well. You should expect to see WMR update Tuesday night and get a DDD for Friday 2/6! CONGRATS!
HOW TO FIND CYCLE CODE:
1. Go to http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript
2. Click “Get Transcript Online”
3. Login or create an account.
4. Click on 2014 under Return Transcript.
5. If it says n/a you are not done processing.
6. Cycle code will be on line 3.

Many of you have a lot of questions about what’s going on. Understanding what’s going on can be difficult if you don’t understand the IRS jargon people are throwing around. I’m hoping I can clear some of that up for you with this post. Keep in mind I do not work for the IRS and all of this information was just obtained from the IRS manual which is publicly available. If you think any of this information is incorrect please let me know. If you have a question that’s not listed here feel free to ask and I can answer it to the best of my knowledge.
Keep in mind that this information may not apply to all situations.

What is this “cycle” I keep hearing about?
– Cycle Code is a daily cycle designated by an eight digit number indicating the year, the two digit cycle number and the two digit number indicating the day of the week (YYYYWWDD). The following values for DD are defined:
01 = Friday
02 = Monday
03 = Tuesday
04 = Wednesday
05 = Thursday
Source: http://www.irs.gov/irm/part3/irm_03-030-123r.html#d0e1455
.
.
Why don’t I see a cycle code?
– If you don’t see a cycle code on your transcript it’s because it has not yet been processed completely and you are most likely being resequenced.
.
.
What does resequenced mean?
– When your return gets processed it is done automatically by computer. Occasionally there can be a glitch or problem with it in which case it fails to process and needs to be reprocessed. When this happens it is “recycled” to be processed the next cycle(The next week).
Source: http://www.irs.gov/irm/part21/irm_21-004-001r.html#d0e113
.
.
How do I know if I’m daily processing or weekly?
-Without looking at past data there’s no way to know. You can look at your past cycle codes and see if they all end in 05. If they do, you’re most likely weekly. Weekly processing happens thursday nights/Friday morning. Only the IRS can tell you for sure (Not that they will though).
.
.
The IRS said I’m under review! Why!?
– In accordance to the IRS manual, any tax payer calling in before the time frame for processing has expired will be told to wait. If you continue to push they may just tell you that you’re under review.
Source: http://www.irs.gov/irm/part21/irm_21-004-001r.html#d0e217
.
.
Why is Where’s My Refund not showing any bars?
– This is likely due to inactivity. It should update the next time your return updates.
.
.
Why are other people getting their money before me? I filed before them!
– Not only can there sometimes be issues where a return needs to be reprocessed, some peoples returns can happen faster for a number of reasons. They could be on a daily cycle while you are on a weekly. Also, in the past, refunds under a certain amount(Used to be $1000) would skip a step while processing and allow you to get your refund quicker.

[Anonymous]

@tradami

Yes the 8 digits (example 20150402) are the refund cycle dates. I was not trying to offend or discredit you, we are just discussing our processing cycles and how we ended up stuck in the dead cycle (6 codes in the submission/confirmation code when you efile). Thank you for all the information, it will be helpful for those that are figuring out their deposit dates when the transcripts show up. :-)

[Anonymous]

anyone with updates throughout the week that were accepted 2/2 post here please. or if you were accepted at an earlier date and your acceptance date changed.

[Anonymous]

@Jan22nd

You will see an update the same day this week as you got your blank transcripts last week. Probably going to be thursday night.

What happened was your return was set to be processed and for one reason or another failed. When this happens your return is then delayed to be processed the next cycle (Which is the next week). It happens on the same day as the previous cycle.

[Anonymous]

@mstorilivsand

I apologize if I misunderstood your post but I’m referring to cycle codes people are seeing on their transcripts. There is no “refund cycle” date or any of the sort. Also the IRS has done away with the “refund chart”.

IMF Cycle Date is a daily cycle designated by an eight digit number indicating the year, the two digit cycle number and the two digit number indicating the day of the week (YYYYWWDD). The following values for DD are defined:

01 = Friday

02 = Monday

03 = Tuesday

04 = Wednesday

05 = Thursday

IMF computes your refund date as the posted cycle date PLUS four business days for Direct Deposit refunds; posted cycle date PLUS six business days for Paper Check refunds.

For example: 20150502 should get a DDD of 2/6 (four days later). 20150503 will get a WMR update tonight with a DDD for Monday 2/9.

How can I find my submission id, (it has a cycle code in the middle with 6 digits which tells you what cycle your return will be processed on)

Please help..

WHERE CAN WE FIND IRS PHONE NUMBER TO GET A LIVE PERSON? CANNOT GET THROUGH!

[Anonymous]

@tradami

Thank you for the information. There are two types of cycle dates. There are acceptance cycle dates, and approval/deposit cycle dates. When you file you are given a submission id, it has a cycle code in the middle with 6 digits which tells you what cycle your return will be processed on. There is a chart for this information on the irs website. The approval/deposit cycle date is the one you are referring to that is given on the transcript once the return has been processed.

[Anonymous]

It seems many of you misunderstand cycle codes. Cycle codes consist of 8 digits. NOT 6. 20150503 for example would mean cycle 05 and day 03 (tuesday). No one should be seeing a cycle code of 201501 or 201502 or 201503 as they are the dead cycles. Again, It’s the MIDDLE number that references cycle, NOT the last 2.

[Val]

correction deposit could be as early as 2/6/15

[Val]

My cycle 20150503 and I have the 846 from what I have read this is already processed and should expect ddd no later than 02/09/15 but could be as early as 02/08/15 as some with cycle 20140502 received the deposits today.

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,
I have not gotten my DD yet, but my account shows a credit balance in the amount of my refund. To see it you actually have to create an account with the Georgia Tax Center and log in. Also if you create an account, you can set up an alert for when your return was processed. You can also see correspondence they’ve sent you, etc.

The WMR is still showing “being processed” but the credit balance is there. Typically I’ve seen my refund hit my account within 4 days after the credit balance appears.

This year I was accepted on 2/1 and received the alert yesterday 2/3. Last year for GA I was accepted 2/3, processed 2/8 and DD 2/12.

[LA Girl]

I filed on Saturday the 24 th and accepted the same day, and still stuck on one bar in WMR

[Anonymous]

@mylovemylife

Most of use on this forum used TaxAct. They give you a submission id when you file and when you check the status on their page. The cycle code is in the middle of that number. Mine was 201502, the other dead cycle codes are 201501, 201503.

[Maria]

I filed and accepted on 01/30. . I checked WMR on 02/02 and it said, “We are sending you a check to the address shown on your tax return because your bank returned the direct deposit of your refund.” and that my check will be mailed by 02/06. UGH!!!! I check it everyday hoping it sends it but I’m assuming it won’t be sent until the 6th.. This sucks! I’m sure my account number was wrong on my return.

[Anonymous]

I filed on 1/23 and do not have to pay a health care penalty since we have it thru my husbands employer.

Did your account transcript with the 00s show up at the end of last week because I have read if that’s the case, we should see updates tomorrow or Friday night. Fingers crossed.

[Anonymous]

Yes I am thinking at some point in the day they switch over to the automatic acceptance, or maybe it is just certain tax companies who use this method. It is funny because years ago I had problems with TurboTax so for the past 3-4 years I have used TaxAct, last year and this year it seems to be giving me problems so maybe I will go back to TurboTax. I debated it the day before I filed and even set up my account again with TT, but I decided to go with TA. lol figures

[justasking]

now check this out I field my taxes on the 20th and it was received in minutes now its been 15 days and so I figured I would call the irs this week because I never waited this long to get appoved. so I called Monday the nice lady kindly faxed my account transcripts for 2013 and 2014 she say darling u haven’t even been processed yet. so I looked over my account and It said in account status re-sequenced. so I’m like wtf is that? s I called Tuesday and was like sir I am having hardship and I need my refund why am in that status? and he said the system kicked me out and I was put back in but look like nothing is wrong we received your return on the 22nd so I’m like ok. so after no update again I said wtf why not see what’ s going on. so I just got off with another nice lady and she was like you haven’t even been processed yet and your return just got in the system on the 30th wtf? I m so confused how and the he** this happen? is anyone going through this or is irs fu**ing with me talking about it only been” 5 days” like he**!

[KB]

I just found mine as well….20150503 too……hopefully, it’s a little early. I think I’m going to treat the family to a nice dinner.

[Ashley O]

Sorry, I got slammed at work… Just now getting a free moment. I’m assuming that “us” that are on the “weekly cycle” will see some sort of update overnight or Sunday morning. I’ve received my DD for the last 4 years on a Friday. I’ve never been lucky enough to receive mine in the middle of the week.

[Anonymous]

How do you know what cycle you’re in?

[Perry]

Where I find those codes on the turbotax email. I was accepted 1/28.

[mrzcrbnellie]

?… I filed on 1/20 and still no wmr “approval”… but I can access all my transcripts.  Cycle   20150405 & codes 150, 806, 766.  AS OF TODAY STILL NO DD, whts going on? I do owe $ but not much compared to my expected return.  Any ideas?
NO 846 CODE

[Southern Dork]

I filed 1/23 and ordered the Netspend card the same night. I got my card Monday. Still waiting on my DDD. BF is using bank and I’m using Netspend. I want to know which one is faster:)

[Katie]

I used TT.
Filed on 1/23 and accepted about an hour later.
My refund was dd this morning.

[Southern Dork]

Nope. I am supposed to get my DDD 2/6 SBBT shows the fees but hasn’t gotten the money yet. Filed 1/23 and accepted 30 mins later. Deposit is going to Netspend. So I guess I won’t hold my breath for NC refund.

[Anonymous]

I did file pretty late about 10 Ish (w/taxact) and I was instantly accepted. Like clicked on it chexk my email and it was already in my in box.

[keri]

I just, called the number and mine git approved with a DDD of 10, days! (State)

[jenn]

@wit I am not totally sure about the whole bar thing. My bars went missing on Jan 20th and have not returned and mine still just says we are processing your tax return a date will be available when your tax return has been processed. It shows me my amount but this has now not changed since Jan 20th either. and I can download my transcript however I only have phone so I am unable to open my transcript to see what it says. But I assume since I can get into the transcript and it shows for this year that it’s somewhere in the processing part but no clue they won’t tell me anything if I call.

[AraneaStar]

OK I used TaxAct (accepted 1/20) and I have 201502. My WMR bars/amount disappeared yesterday. My fiancé filed/accepted also on 1/20 with TT and he has paper check mail date. I am thinking I’m not going to use TaxAct anymore…

[heather]

Hey all us 1/30 filers with no activity could be in a weekly cycle. I know that I am weekly because I have an installment payment with the first time homebuyers credit repayment. If you are weekly you should see update friday night, sat morning with ddd for next week. THe 1/30 filers with movement are mostly likely daily.

[Dion]

I called and it said mine is being processed, I filled on 1/21 and accepted same day. Hopefully I’ll see some money soon.

[Rae]

Thanks! Acct transcript does say “no tax return filed’ which is bummer. Another week? Ugh! I did talk to Turbo Tax and they’re saying I should be updated with a DDD within 24 to 48 hours. So we’ll see.

[Anonymous]

I was also just thinking, perhaps you get a dead cycle code when you submit later in the day. I know I saw some people saying that if you file at 11AM it goes towards the next day’s batch, but I filed really late at night. So maybe if you file after the end of the business day? Anybody else file after 11AM or later in the evening?

[keri]

Called the number and my, state has been approved with a dd of 10, days. Wonder how soon we’ll get it
