@cmbreede Yes, my as of date updated to 3/24 when I got my refund code. Before that, it was stuck at 2/24.
@JDobb – Yeah, since your IS form was received on February 22nd, there isn’t much you can do at this point but just wait for a notation on your transcript that the 8379 has been worked and the refund approved. Good luck!
@cmbreede – Yes, while the 570 remained (and is still there), an 846 code was added below it, meaning the refund had been approved.
@JDobb 846 is the code for refund, what you want to see. However, that’s only helpful if it’s placed on your transcript *after* your 8379 is received and processed; otherwise, it’s just telling you that your refund was initially approved (and then taken). Is there any code *after* the 846 on your transcript?
@JDobb – If you’re very lucky, you may get an IRS rep on the phone who will look to see if your 8379 has been filed in the system, rather than just rattling off the “11 to 14 weeks for processing” line and hanging up on you. Otherwise, when you are able to order your account transcripts (You can click that under the Tools heading on the irs.gov main page, as “Get transcript of your tax records”) you should see the date that the form was received into the system on your transcript.
@cmbreede Yes, I received my refund on Tuesday (the 11th).
@TreeStone: The 8379 shows up in their system as soon as they receive it and scan it in, as “received”. It is then put into a queue until worked.
Directly from my own transcripts, my own experience filing the 8379 individually a few years ago resulted in a 971 code on January 26th, stating the the 8379 form was received, and the actual refund was issued (by check) on April 11th. So it took approximately 10 weeks from the time the form was received to receive my refund. That said, the IRS has made improvements the past few years in their processing, so hopefully yours will go faster. The biggest hindrance is that there has to be an actual reversal of funds applied to other debts before your refund can be issued; this does not occur when you file the 8379 electronically at the same time as your taxes.
@Rachel – Unfortunately, the “fine print” on that is that it’s 8 weeks from the time your regular taxes are done processing. That said, the IRS “wait times” are and have been WAY off for years now. The average total time, this year and the past few years, for filing it together electronically is right at 6 weeks from acceptance to DDD. I have not heard of anyone receiving their refund back that quickly when mailing in the form separately; my own took roughly 11 weeks when filed that way several years ago. Please do update us when you receive your refund.
@Ashley: If available, your codes will be listed under “transactions” towards the bottom of the first page of your transcript.
Update: My WMR updated to 2 bars and a 3/12 Direct Deposit Date around 4 a.m. this morning.
That time frame falls right in line with the past 3 years; about 6 weeks total.Let me STRONGLY advise people to file their 8379 electronically along with their return, rather than mailing it in separately. I know that the IRS wording makes it appear that mailing it in separately will get it worked faster; but I also know what I see, year after year, as the fastest method.
Good luck to all of the other 8379’ers!
@Treestone: The 570 code is a freeze on processing; in your case, for the 8379 to be worked. It should appear on your transcript, once you can view them. Based on my own experiences, you should have your refund about 3 weeks after your 570 code date…assuming there is nothing else wrong with your return.
@Charlotte – Not if your husband had all of the income; we claim 0 and 6 every year. Any way around it, don’t mail in another IS form or amend your return in any way until the first one is resolved, you’ll just start everything over again.
@Ashley – Don’t worry about the cycle date if you filed an 8379. The part of your transcript you should be concerned with are the codes shown; the date next to the 570 is the date the IRS should work address the 8379 by, and if you have an 846, your refund has been scheduled.
