Just tried to check WMR and received this message “We are sorry Where’s My Refund is currently unavailable. Please try Where’s My Refund again later.” Anyone else getting this? Does it mean anything?

[Alan]

Was able to order my return transcript last night at 8 pm Chicago time. Was hoping for a visual update but I remembered that last year I ended up with my refund one day before WMR even updated to two bars. Hopefully I’ll see something tomorrow on AMEX Bluebird or at least a DDD, which hasn’t happened the last two years in proper fashion (it also happened in 2014)?

[Taramg5]

Ok a little update from just now…..lol

I have never been able to pull up my return transcript for this year but have never not been able to get into the transcript site. Just now I went to check for the first time today and it is saying that a technical error has occurred and to try back later. Is that sometimes anyone else has experienced before being able to pull up return ts? I also lost my bars sometime last night. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[bb]

as of this morning
filed 1/19
accepted 1/21
still on one bar
can’t order return transcripts

[Anna]

I submitted my taxes via TT on the 18th. Got my accepted email on the 19th. One bar on WMR. Only able to get account transcripts. Called the IRS number this morning no problems with my account . Said that they actually didn’t accept my return until the 20th. Called again 15 minutes ago young lady said they actually didn’t accept it until the 21st. Literally just got off the phone with them and another lady said they accepted it on the 19th … They are full of it. Typically I get my refund in 10 days after my acceptance email. This is ridiculous never filing early again.

[Cam]

Hello all. So i talked to 2 different IRS reps and I told them that I had an error.. which is in my book the missing bars. They both looked into my account.. told me that there aren’t any red flags and that i was still processing. The 2nd lady I spoke with told me that if i dont have a deposit by the 8th to call my bank to see if it’s there and just not updating because the system is having a glitch.

I really hope i get approved for friday… And I hope this helps anyone on this site.

[KMorello]

I too woke up with NO BARS this morning, but I do have the Tax Topic 152. I filed on 1/27, accepted 1/27. I also just tried to check “Where’s My Refund” again (even though I know we are only supposed to do it once daily), and the system is down?! Maybe that is a good thing. Seems like there are way too many people with missing bars!! Hoping it’s just a computer glitch and we are not actually ALL being reviewed!

[Anonymous]

My SBBT account updated to and said received on 2/2/16. Wonder if it won’t hit our bank account until after midnight.

I filed on the 19th.

[Tiff]

I filed through Turbo Tax on 1/12 and was accepted on 1/13. The second bar on the WMR website didn’t appear until this past Saturday, 1/31. I now have a DDD of 2/3. Here’s to hoping I wake up with my return in my account! There is hope, just please be patient! :)

[Alyusha]

We’re in the same boat. Filed 1/17 accepted 1/19. Still 1 bar on WMR TT 152.

From my understanding, if you are able to order account and not return, then your return has not finished processing.

But I did see a post on the front page that someone said they got a DDD a few days ago and was not able to order return transcripts until this morning or something. So I am honestly not relying on transcripts of any sort, especially since my address has changed since last year, and that’s just causing issues by its self.

The biggest thing I am going on, is for us 1/19ers, if we do not get a DDD this week, the IRS will be getting flooded with calls next Tuesday, because that is 21 days.

[Anonymous]

@Robert
Im not for sure but it sounds like they are doing WMR update tomorrow morning so you should hopefully know by tomorrow what is going on. I have seen other people with your same problem and they got their DDD shortly after. If it is still not giving any info I would call first thing in the morning to make sure there isnt a problem.

[Taramg5]

It looks like a lot of us 1/14 filers have lost our bars last night without being able to order return transcripts. I was flagged for review in the 2013 tax year and it was a horrible process. Finally received my return in May of 2014. I will say that I NEVER lost my bars that year though. Just stayed on one bar even after I received my 4464c letter. Last year I waited until 2/3 to file and I breezed right through. Had my deposit by 2/15. I will never make the mistake of early filing again.

[bigd]

@jae…thats what I think also just greed…even on the H&R forums nobody is reporting getting there $$

[Anonymous]

I have a DDD of 2/3 and I just checked the SBBT and my refund is there. Now I checked it before work and it wasn’t so this was pretty recent. Maybe try again to check. I wonder if we will get it before midnight. Guessing probably not.

[Missy]

@cliff I had dd

Still at on bar tax topic 152
Hoping for an update tonight with a ddd of 2/5
Was able to order account transcript 1/29 via old address still can’t order return transcript.

What does it mean if I’m able to order account and not return?

[Paul]

I was able to order my return transcript at 6am est today. Wmr was down til about 7 but still have one bar. I’m thinking I’ll either have my return tomorrow, or at least a DDD.

[melissa]

ooo snap I filed 1/30 last year and got my refund 2/6 deposited in my bank my wmr updated on the 8th I believe. I cant order return transcripts but that’s a update issue I hear they only update those once a week . and it takes forever for the update to show I also was told that the wmr app updates millions at a time and it takes forever to show up and most of they are delays some go through some don’t. I was told all this by a lady that has a aunt that has worked for the irs a long time and I also learned that someone that filed on the 29th also got a ddd of the 3rd so im pretty sure we are either gonna be the 3rd for the 5th and if we are not im gonna cry lol because I hate this time of year something always happens right before tax time that I have to use them for something important right now my car is broke and has no breaks and that is a problem. I also have to move closer to family so im super stressed.. this year wasn’t suppose to be like that it wasn’t suppose to be stressful but it is because it never fails something always happens end of dec or begin. of jan that I have to use them for something important I hate it but… it is what it is my tax place is never wrong tho they are normally right dead on, I think when I filed right at the begin my taxes where always late… but the last 2 years ive filed right at the end of the month within the last week and always seen them within a 10 day spread .. so I know I got the 750 loan so maybe just maybe if I call a liberty tax and ask them why I cant look up my info on the site maybe I will get a answer or 2 but ill prob call tomorrow to see if anyone got their money on the 3rd for the deposit schedule day.

[Blz]

So those of us who are going to school to better our lives and get this credit have to wait the longest? It’s like we’re being penalized for bettering ourselves. I’m in nursing school, so I work one day a week…for those who say budget better, I budget just fine working my sad one day a week, while juggling full time nursing school, kids, an upcoming wedding. All of the above are reasons my return is like my nice yearly bonus.
Sorry end rant. Hopefully tomorrow y’all, it’s getting a tad ridiculous now but I have hope every morning I’m gonna see that second bar!

@Impatiently waiting….same here especially since they banned me from there forum for asking the exact same question

[Henry W.]

I filed and was accepted on the 19th. Still only one bar. I called IRS twice one person told me slight delay instead of the 9th being the last date they said the 16th. The other person repeated what is on the Where’s my Refund site.
I don’t know what to think?

[Andy]

Seeing lots of updates. Here is one from the various ones I have in a related article:

I filed with jackson hewitt for the first this year due to turbo tax taking over the 21 days last year. I filed 1/21 and was accepted 1/22. Still on the 1st bar for federal. I checked my pa taxes and they have been processed since 1/25 and says your refund has been processed but not yet deposited please allow 3-6 weeks for depsit. Jh said in fine print i would receive state in 3-5 days when i filed and said most receive refund in less then 10 days for federal. IM TIRED OF THE WAITING GAME!!!!! UGH…

[Jesse]

I’m in TN nothing changed for the last 5 years I have always used the same liberty tax location. I filed on 1/28 Accepted 20 minutes later. I have been able to get my account and return transcript. WMR still showing 1 bar but didn’t update last year tI’ll after I had my money. Deposit is set to go onto my green dot card not bank account. I tried to login in to Republic SSN not on file let’s hope for updatez

[kelly]

Don’t feel bad I filed and was accepted on the 19th. Still only at 1 bar, I check everyday and nothing. Last year I filed on the 19th and got paid by 256

[Jesse]

@Melissa I filed and accepted on 1/28

[rachaelc35]

Ok…it’s taking as long as it always does, you just got approved faster. The March 1st thing is a myth, not truth. The IRS tells you one thing If you call before 21 days are up…you have to wait 21 days. They update every night, deposit everyday. I have been reading on this forum for days, we’ll actually years, this is the same thing every year. Patients folks, refunds are happening DAILY, maybe if people could possibly post filed date, accepted date and when you get it your ddd, that would help figure out time frames. Have a beautiful day everyone.

[Impatiently waiting]

@bigd I know what my business will deff b brought to another tax prep next year….we paid for this …we should atleast know something….my bank doesn’t even have a pending deposit…

[melissa]

my ssn is not on file either so Idk what is going on with that …. but when did you file? like a date? and I opened a liberty tax topic as well on here so that all liberty tax people can post updates im pretty suurree people that are getting them cutting a check they will get deposits tonight and call first thing in the morning… hopefully….. maybe I will be one of them that would be awesome….

[Maggs]

I was just authorized for direct deposit refund on 2/1. Nothing yet, hoping it comes this week. I efiled 1/29.

[Anonymous]

Filed 1/16 and accepted 1/19. Still only one bar tax topic 152 with no return transcript or account transcript. Very frustrating, also starting to get worried about being audited, this is no fun.

[Anonymous]

The offset phone number said I had an offset for my ss last week. The bars are gone on WMR and now the offset number says I dont have any offsets for my ss#. could this mean that it was paid with part of my refund and I can expect the refund soon? or is something else going on..My offset amount I know was only $93 so I def will still get most of my refund. just not sure what is going on.

[Goldie]

Im going through the same thing. I called this morning and the guy i spoke with said that my return was accepted on 1/20 not 1/19. And that they should be processing it real soon. No red flaggs just waiting my turn. The address will update after its processed.

[bigd]

@Impatiently waiting….I normally get an email from them 2 days before saying they got notification from the irs and are initiating my deposit….nothing at all from them since I got accepted

[Anonymous]

@Texasgirl

So I am assuming you have ran into this exact same issue as myself? Basically if there were something wrong with me return at the end of the day, whether it be rejected, audited… I would have know by now correct?

THANK YOU Sooo much for responding to me.

@Missy

I did. I went on TT and “amended” them so they would fill out the 8962 and provide a corrected page 2 of my 1040A. I included in the fax:

1095-A
8962
Original letter
Cover letter
Corrected page 2 of taxes

Did you have your funds DD or a paper check mailed to you?

[Anonymous]

I still have no movement, but again, not too concerned just yet. I tried ordering transcripts again this morning and to no avail. BOO. All hope is not lost, right?!

[Impatiently waiting]

@bigd I called h&r block 800 num this morning because when I go into my account it doesn’t show a ddd of 2/3 jus what they expected which was 2/17 so I asked them why WMR said ddd of 2/3 and they didn’t they said their system doesn’t update and that I should go by WMR but that still doesn’t tell me why I haven’t gotten it in my bank account and nothing pending….I always for the last 3yrs gotten my dd 2 days early

[Anonymous]

I have a DDD for 2/3 but SBBT shows no refund was receive. I also called SBBT’s automated system and I am being informed to check back with WMR. Does SBBT update during the day or do they update every 24 hours?

UPDATE: Spoke with SBBT and they said their website updates upon receiving refund from the IRS. So updates will happen during the day. Hope this helps anyone going through the same situation as I. Good day everyone.

[LF]

Okay guys so I posted this in another forum I’m not sure if you guys are following more than 1 so I will post it here also. I calls the IRS earlier and made a little lie up that I received a called asking me to verify my identity with the IRS. I filed on 1/21 and showed up on wmr 1st bar the next day. The lady I spoke to pulled my info up to check if there were any issues and she said it was fine. She did tell me that even though I filed on 1/21 and wmr said I was processing, I really didn’t start processing until 1/25. So basically my return was sitting in a pile doing nothing until the next Monday. This might help make people feel a little at ease due to the fact that even though wmr might have been at 1 bar saying processing the day after filing, that doesn’t mean it was actually doing anything at the IRS until a few days later. Hope to see an update tonight even though I’m not counting on it. The passed few years I received my return in 10 days so there is a little hope for the 2/5 ddd but you never know. Have been able to order account transcript since last Friday but no return yet.

[Anonymous]

Sorry netspend not metaphor

[Anonymous]

I’m using a metaphor card and have a ddd of 2/3 my account is not showing any pending deposits does anyone know how I can find out when or even if the bank has received the return? And does netspend have certain times they do deposits ?

[R4ce]

Some people are saying that regardless of when we filed/accepted, our 21 days didn’t really start until the 19th. If that’s true the IRS is already going against one of it’s own written rules. Paraphrasing it from the explanations of tax topic 152. IRS representatives can research the status of your return if. It’s been more than 21 days since you received your email acceptance notification. Now it’s not our faults that they accepted some returns early. Their own site says more than 21 days from NOTIFICATION, not when they decided to get around to working on them. If they are going to accept returns early to test their system. Those returns should be run all the way through right away. This ineptitude is inexcusable.

[M]

@yes…. I too go through Republic bank but I’m not sure how to check to see if have a deposit coming through. Are you able to help me out with that???

Texas

[bigd]

@Impatiently waiting…..everyone I have seen has the same situation I am also sitting with a ddd of 02/03 and no update from H&R

[SO CONFUSED]

I FILED ON THE 11TH WAS REJECTED ON THE 12TH B/C OF THE IDENTIFY THEFT PIN. REFILED ON THE 13TH ACCEPTED ON THE 14TH. WAS ABLE TO ORDER MY ACCOUNT TRANSCRIPT LAST WEEK, BUT NO MY RETURN. WOKE UP THIS MORNING TO MY BAR GONE, AND A MESSAGE SAYING THAT MY REFUND IS BEING PROCESS AND SOMETHING ABOUT A DATE WHEN ITS AVAILABLE. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. I AM CONFUSED…..

[melissa]

they also said no one has gotten a deposit that they know of. so I don’t know what that means either I don’t know if it means everyone is gonna be the 3rd and the 5th and then after that the 10th? and 12th if I had to wait another week I think I might just break down and cry im so stressed out.

[Suzanne G]

Filed and accepted 1/28 within minutes. Only 1 bar as of this morning. Haven’t tried to order transcripts, trying to be patient. Last year filed 1/26 and received refund 2/3, hoping its the same turn around time this year. Fingers crossed everyone!

[Angela]

The transcripts site will still not recognize either my old address or my new address. I’m beginning to become a little frustrated. I filed on the 19th and was accepted a few minutes later have been stuck on one bar since then. I was able to order my account transcript on 1/29 with my old address but then minutes later when I tried to go back for my return transcript it would not recognize either my new or old address. it’s been that way ever since. I know that no one here is psychic but if anyone has any insight or experience with this issue would you please comment to help calm my nerves?

[Sidney]

I filed 1/22 and still no dd was able to order my account transcript but not my return hoping to get that 2nd bar soon

[melissa]

I filed in ohio have filed with them for 6 years everything is the same on my tax return but my job and my address. same kids and everything. I filed the 27th and was accepted within 20 minutes my agent says the 5th as long as it was accepted by the 29th They are hardly ever wrong normally dead on and then on top of that I cant log in to republic bank website with SSN wth is up with that? when I called them 2 days ago they said that the people that were suppose to be on the 29th prob are getting pushed to the 3rd so … idk what that is about. im still hoping for a 2/5 deposit so I can go get my check and pay the stuff I need to pay for so I can let some stress of my shoulders. im so tired of pullin my hair out.

[Goldie]

What time of day did your transcript update.

[Cindy]

@amanda

I was wondering the same thing about the transcripts updating. I can still only get my account transcript not the return. Wondering how often it updates also. Anyone know?

I am in TN and filed on 1/26/2016.

[BING]

@accepted1919 THAT IS NOT TRUE

[Patientlywaiting]

I called Republic Bank and asked when I would see my money on my card and they said it can take 24-48 hrs smh against the 2 day early to the card, if I would’ve just had it deposit to my acct I would’ve had, needless to say I personally will not be using that service of anyone other than TT next year. So those who are using Amex Serve it can be a day or two.

[Hailey2016]

@bk
I thought TT 151 had to do with options for receiving your refund such as paper check or direct deposit. I have TT 151 with one bar and was accepted 1/19

[Confused]

Today I was finally able to request both transcript. I hope that’s good..

[Ladyleto]

The people at H&R Block are so frustrating. Seriously. I called because my funds aren’t going to SBBT. They’re going straight back to H&R Block then to my Chase Bank account. I called to see if they had received the funds and when they would be released to my bank and all the gentlemen could tell me is that my DDD is the 3rd, which is tomorrow. Clearly I already knew that. I also informed him that my status hasn’t changed from “Accepted” on H&R Block although I’ve been approved that they need to work on making their updates real time like the IRS. He said that the IRS SHOULD send them my funds tomorrow, they’d take out my fees, and they’d send the rest to my bank. Key word being SHOULD. I asked what I should do If I don’t receive anything and he advised me to try calling my bank after around 2PM. ?
I really hope I have a deposit come tomorrow morning. Being 26 weeks pregnant being stupid stressed about all this just having moved into a new apartment with my husband and son 6K could REALLY be a stress reliever.
Here’s to tomorrow! ??????

[Missy]

@ cliff – Did you fax the original letter along with the 1095a and 8962 the IRS sent you and follow their specific instructions.

i still cant order refund transcripts… i am so annoyed right about now

[Jae]

I understand its only 2/2, but at least those who use turbo can check their progress, HRB still states accepted with 2/9 ddd. WMR been updated since 1/30 that im due 2/3 and our funds have been sent to HRB since 2/1. So what HRB is holding our money as long as possible to collect interest on it!Greedy bastards. Next year I’m using Turbo. I never see anything but good things about them.

[Anonymous]

I use walmart money card now and It is always the day I am to receive the funds, Around 4:30 am. I get text messages sent to me.

[dee]

Great, now I cant view any info online.” We are unable to provide your refund status online.”

@amomslife- any update? did your DD finally hit you bank? and when where you authorized? I was authorized on the 23rd and still nothing…. I was also thinking maybe my tax lady didn’t input the correct bank account info.

hoping maybe tomorrow.

[Jesse]

The liberty tax I use goes through Republic I’m pretty sure. I have tried logging in and my SSN is not on file. Could they have used sbtpg this time? Starting to panic

@Robert

You are probably getting updated and processing. I spoke to several IRS REPS and the only other possibility is you are getting re sequence back in que, just delayed…call this number and they will prove you more info if you want to know for sure..800-829-0582 #652 – keep trying you will get in…I reposted info I actually got myself from IRS and it appears to be the most accurate explanation info thus far…

Sara WyrickWe are the original TAX FAMILY!!
9 mins ·
Good Morning!!!! I am going to explain somethings here so everyone please read this very carefully!!
1. Transcripts will begin back processing this evening into tomorrow morning fro the daily returns.. this is cycle 02… around 6am we will start seeing people with access to both transcripts… this is a good thing.. meaning your return is finsihed processing.,,, Wednesday morning, WMR will update for a deposit day of 2/5!!! If you are a 02 cycle (daily cycle) and lost bars etc, last week,,, this is your chance to resquence and process….. if the batch is not full they may process other post hold returns.
2. Post hold returns are returns that posted but did not process yet… example… you can order account transcripts but no return transcripts… you are considered in a post hold which is also called system idle. what does this mean? This means that your return was indeed posted but has not been worked and is now sitting there waiting for your next cycle process to repost and process….Thes reason you lose your bars, tax topic, 21 day message, etc…. is because you are sitting in the post hold (idle) waiting for your next cycle… Now… today is an elongated day… meaning a day for long processing due to the deferred day Friday which is a non posting day for daily retuns and yes they have to post as many as these returns as they system allows…. so some of these returns will begin to process tonight into tomorrow morning… the system will shut down between 330 and 6am to download the return transcripts etc, so after 6am we will start seeing this updates.
3.Address Issues: Now if you can order your account transcripts with your old address then this means your return is posted but has not been worked… the new address will not update until your return has been processed and indeed posted… this is when you will be able to access transcripts with your new address and your return will be finished processing. It will only change when your return transcript has been processed and updated.
4. Resequencing: This is due to the returns posting but not being able to process… reasons for resequencing… early filing, full cycle which causes post hold, error on return, etc…. each return that is resequenced goes to the next date for that cycle to process and waits for its turn… now returns can be resequenced over and over due to amount of returns already being processed.. They do have a daily processing limit.
5. Weekly returns post on Thursday for processing on Friday… Wmr on Saturday for ddd of Wednesday… Weekly returns will not process until Friday….
6. Daily vs Weekly… Cycles 01 02 03 04 are daily cycles. 05 is the only weekly cycle!
7. The word cycle has 2 different meanings when it comes to the IRS manual. Cycle is used for days and weeks… so example 20150304 the 03 is your weekly cycle number to where 04 is your daily cycle and so on….
Now I know this is alot to read and concept….. and I know I have left tons of things out but this is were we are gonna start today…. so ya’ll work with me and we will make it throw this!!
— with Cindy Medrano and 2 others.

[MissSu2u]

The IRS is full of it this year everyone that I have talked to gives you a different answer than the one before. I called the tax advocate line and they also wouldn’t access my return until the 21 days is up. The only pertinent information that she gave was if there was a problem it would give you a error code on WMR so I guess now we wait until the 9th when they keep saying that they will be happy to access my return, Just Great!

filed 1/14/16 accepted 30 mins later
order account transcript on 1/29/16 can not order return transcript
no movement on WMR or SBBT
bars went missing this morning tax topic 152 remains

[lamoglinsgal]

Being able to order your return transcript means that your return has been processed and approved. If it’s not available, that hasn’t happened yet.

It’s an official transcript you can use for purposes of loans, etc.

[Jesse]

The liberty tax I used goes with Republic bank I am pretty sure. I have tried logging in and they say my account info doesn’t exist?? Kinda worried something is up
