just checked on mines my daughters and my cousins return transcripts and still not able to order them we all filed on 1/19 accepted 1/19 so hopefully in the morning we will see some updates

[Anonymous]

It only truly free if you are able to file with a 1040 ez but if you have to itemize using a schedule c or other forms then that is when they charge, i used taxslayer and my total fees are only 17.99 and i just didnt think it would make a difference so i just elected for the fees to be deducted from my refund

[Seejay]

@Sarah Voss Thank you for that post! Wow…helps to shine a more practical light on some of this stuff.

[Anonymous]

You should have it at least by the 12th.. Maybe on the 5th. I see that people are getting approved on Saturday and their DDD is on a Wednesday.. And some people have a DDD on a Friday.. The 29th being the first time that some people had gotten their refund. So we will be seeing people that have a DDD on Wednesday’s/Friday’s. But, everyone is different.

I was self employed for part of the year (will be for the full year this year). My husband works for the school system here. 3 kids, eic, credit for where I am in college. We are getting back a little over $9k from federal.

I filed late on 1/29 didnt get accepted until 825 on 1/31 hope the refund is fast this year. momma needs a new washing machine

I can’t guarantee you’re not under review, but from the information I’ve gathered from other people who -have- been under review, you would more than likely have a “topic number” (other than 152) and some sort of statement on WMR about a letter from the IRS.

It doesn’t look like it’s first come, first serve with tax refunds, it’s however the IRS determines who goes first and who goes last. Reading over the posts here for the last few days, it seems that even a slight change in information (like a new address) is affecting refunds. Did anything this year change from last year for you?

[Anonymous]

was accepted on the 14th.friday night i was able to order both of my transcripts.i assumed that everything was good and i was approved.than on the next update i got this.

Take Action.

We have received your tax return and it is being reviewed. You will receive a notice from us requesting additional information within 30 calendar days. You may not receive all or part of your refund until we receive and review the information we requested. If you need more information after you receive our notice, call the number on the notice.
Please do not contact us until you have received the notice as we are unable to take any action until then.

[AwbreyMom]

Filed TT 1/7
Accepted 1/11
WMR updated on 1/30 with DDD of 2/3
In OK
Already received my OK state refund
Paid my fees all up front

Last year was the same
Filed early, accepted early DDD of 2/4, received it into my bank account on 2/3

Expecting my refund to be in my account tomorrow morning same as last year.

[Momo]

To those of you who have a 2/3/16 DDD here is some info that may give you a little hope.

Taxes filed: 1/13/16 in California PST
Accepted: 1/14/2016
DDD given: 1/30/2016
DD posted: 2/1/2016 @8:46 p.m. PST

If you have an AMEX Serve card or any other prepaid debit card you should see your post at least one day early. Most prepaid cards offer 2 day early direct deposit these days so long as the company/agency sends information about the DD ahead of time.

To those waiting do yourself a favor and call the IRS to make sure that you are not waiting due to identity verification. It seems that TurboTax built in identity verification AFTER the IRS started accepting returns this year. Obviously, I filed beforehand so that driver’s license questions weren’t asked of me. However, I processed my sister’s returns and was given the option to verify her identity using the CA DL #, expiration and issue date. TT says this will help prevent fraud and help the IRS process your refund faster.

Good luck!

I submitted the 17th (kinda by accident I dodnt really think about them not accepting returns I have never I my information this early) accepted the 19th. No approval as of yet. 3 days ago was able to order my account transcripts under my new address. Earlier today I could not order my return transcripts just tried again and was able to order under my new address. What does this mean? Should I get excited???

[Trying2paitientlywait]

Was finally able to order return transcripts today. Filed 1/20 accepted 1/22 transcripts 2/1. Hoping for a wmr update and approval in the morning.

I can’t order mine and it keeps saying that as well…. No record of either address, used both socials…. I just hope I can get my refund soon since I filed 1/22 and accepted the same day as well…

[Anonymous]

What does this mean???? Had bars note there gone with this message::: got accepted 01/12

We cannot provide any information about your refund.
Please allow at least 4 weeks from the date you mailed your return to get information about your refund.

[bobby]

I got my refund on my netspend card at 8:43. I am in Oregon. Fee’s were taken out did mt taxes thru turbotax and it went thru santa barbara tax.

[Katrina]

Some people see an early deposit, most don’t. I can’t believe how many people make themselves sick over this. I want mine just as much as the next person, but we have literally no control over it. All we can do is sit back and wait for it to show up. Check once in the morning, once in the afternoon. That’s all. Once it’s Friday and you haven’t seen a Wednesday deposit, concern is valid. Until then.. Relax. Just, relax.

[Anonymous]

Mad I’ve been right all along

[LR]

went through HRB online filed 1/29 late in the evening. got a text early on 1/31 that it was accepted. would love to have the taxes back before the 14th

[Curious]

The ones who have recently ordered return transcripts, last 5 minutes or so, did you all order by phone or website, and if so, did your address change from last year. Can’t seem to order anything on the website. I am, however, able to order account transcripts with old address by phone, but nothing with new.

[Anonymous]

Ur still on here mocking me using my screen name……….. Wow. I didn’t type that

@refundwanter that’s crazy

[Andre Black]

@Alyusha still not getting my return transcript. We’ll see what happens in the morning.

[Anonymous]

Dont think its an issue it showed me that earlier today but has since just changed to the generic message that they have not received the refund but i think that they probably have but their sytem does not update till the next business date just like allot of banks, as netspend users already have their money so apparently the irs has already transmitted would just be nice to at least see the paper trail of money getting closer to my account, next year i will make sure i pay the fees up front just didnt realize it would make a difference but on the other hand we really arent suppossed to get the refund until wednesday so i cant really cry about not having it sooner when other dont even have a ddd and we all know what that feels like

[Kristina]

I filed on 1/29/16 and was accepted within the hour through free tax USA. I saw that everyone is saying how they can order account transcripts then the return ones but I checked mine a little bit ago and the account transcripts showed the not available for this year message but was able to order my return transcripts and my boyfriend is the exact same anybody have a clue

[Curious]

I file 18th, accepted 19th. Ordered account transcripts on 30th, no return yet.
Those of you who are able to order return transcripts now, are you using a new address, if moved, and are you calling in or using the IRS website, cause I still can’t order account transcripts on website, even with old address.

[joseph]

filed 1/14 accepted immediately 1 bar still :(

[Perla]

Acceptes the same day around 8:00pm

Was wondering if anyone else with a 2/3 ddd has seen an update through sbtpg.com or not, i have not.

[Greg w]

IRS where’s my refund says 2-3-16….

[Greg w]

“TPG has not received your federal tax refund.
Your expected IRS funding date of 2/1/2016 has passed, and the IRS has delayed the processing of your tax return. Check the status of your refund by calling the IRS at 800.829.1040. If we receive your refund, it will be processed according to your original instructions.”

Should I be worried?..

I got my ddd of 2/3 but republic Bank says they haven’t got anything? What could be wrong they should have sent it by now shouldn’t they??? It has to go to republic Bank to get their fees then loaded onto my american express serve card what could be the hold up???

[STEVE]

BOOOM FINALLY ABLE TO ORDER A RETURN TRANSCRIPT A FEW MIN AGO!

[Jasmina]

i filed and was accepted on the 28th. im still at one bar on wmr. I think there will be an update on weds with friday dd for some and sat ddd updates for monday for other 28 filers. just a theory…

[Alicia]

I wouldn’t worry about the bars being gone. Mine were gone up until I got my DDD. If the IRS needs something they will let you know.

[PositiveWaiting]

I was thinking about something. Last year my refund was delayed until May (Filed and Accepted 2/2 last year) due to a minor issue. Around the end of May I decided to call the IRS because I wanted to know WTH was the hold up! I called and spoke to a very nice lady and she told me there was an issue with my taxes that they had to fix and that I would receive my refund in a few weeks. Less than a week, may 3 days, later my refund was deposited into my account.

Has anyone who has called this year seen any type of updates or movement after calling? I’m thinking when you inquire they have to pull up your account which allows them to finish processing it faster. Idk. I’m thinking about calling in the morning just to see.

[Anonymous]

Heh.. There’s no explanation as to why myself and many others got our returns accepted two weeks ago.. And some even longer, and there’s no movement.. Nothing is happening.. And yet there are others who get processed all the way through in 3 days.. I’ll never understand..

[Anonymous]

I still can’t either.

[chiinadollmimi]

Wmr never goes down for me, even during the allotted time frame. Is that wiered?

[Alyusha]

I was accepted the same day as you and still at one bar. I am no tax professional, but From what I have established, is that if your refund amount is correct on WMR, and it says Tax Topic 152 at the bottom, you are fine.

Many of the 1/19ers are hoping for an update tonight, and a DDD by Friday. At least it would make sense… Next Tuesday equals 21 days for us, and I don’t think the IRS wants to deal with all the calls they would get if it goes past.

Just ordered my return transcript 5 min ago. I am hoping this is a good thing lol good luck everyone

[Anonymous]

Ordered my tax transcript on 1/26/16, however my return transcript was not available to order until today. I filed thru TT on 1/19 and was accepted on 1/19, hopefully Friday I’ll have a DDD. Also account transcript I received was all 0 zeros??? l…hmmm not sure what that means, but I am patiently waiting.

[Jesse]

I went online and was able to request my return transcript so I’m hoping this is a good sign

[Smith]

So most likely I’m just cault in the recycled return category? I feel like I’m forgot about. Others are getting DDDs that filed later than me. When do they audit letter get sent? Would I have a different code on my wmr?

[Alyusha]

@ Andre Black everyone is saying it is down along with the transcript site / phone number. hoping it means something good.

I also read that another person who was accepted 1/19 was able to get her return transcripts just now.

I hope this helps.

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!!

My kids all have healthcare but I did not so I have the penalty coming out of my refund- is that going to hold up my refund? I still can only pull my account transcript with my old address and I filed on 1/16 accepted 1/19- however when I call the offset line they say I have none- idk what to think- I am feeling hopeless. Last year I was in the same exact scenario with insurance and I already had my refund. Nothing has changed for me accept for my address
