My husband and I filed joint on Jan. 29 and have a DDD of Feb 3…the app and the where’s my refund tool updates after the fact for some reason. I know several friends that their status say refund approved and already have their refund in hand. So I wouldn’t worry to much about where you stand on the app you will probably get your refund before it updates.

[Joshua]

I’m also receiving tax topic 152 along with 1 wMr bar

[Anonymous]

It would be nice if we had it by the 5th of this month but it’s not very likely. Know we’ll have it by the 19th, 21 days from acceptance date. Last year,I filed early on January 13th, and had my money on a Friday, January 30th. I think last year they started accepting on the 20th.I can’t exactly remember when they accepted mine last year but that was last year!! Lol!! I have very bad anxiety and can’t wait until I have it, lol. I will update everyone and I hope y’all update me!! :)

[Joshua]

Can someone help me …. I filed my federal return on the 21 and was accepted on the 22nd.. wmr sais 1 bar still. I been reading alot of people’s post and I attempted to get my account transcript but when I called the irs they told me I can’t get a 2015 account transcript. So I’m consumed on that part… I filled on tax act… Is there anyway I can check to see if my return was processed? I tried sbtpg but it’s not working for me ither. It’s saying the couldn’t find no record of my information. I really need s9me more insight in to what’s going on.. everyone i ask for your help to understand

[Melissa]

@ Jen yours is within 10 days not 13… and 10 days from the 27th is the 5th they should be within the 5ths deposit :) but if you count out the sat and sun yours was in the 7 days…. mine would be the 5th deposit. im sure if someone that filed the 24th along with u prob is gonna be the 3rd as well even if their wmr hasn’t changed,

[Beth]

What is the number to call to verify I’d?

[LISA]

01/22/2016- filed taxes with H&R block around 4ish
01/23/2016 – IRS Processing (1st Bar)

02/01/2016 – Still on 1st bar with no DDD.

Anyone else?

[cj]

I forgot to mention that this year, I had a wmr update on 1/30 and have a ddd of 2/3

[Melissa]

I filed the 27th accepted on the 27th at 910am 20 minutes after I filed. also the charts are saying the 29th the 3rd and the 5th, and that seems to be the case, and it doesn’t update only wed because people woke up sat morning with changes of ddd for the 3rd that filed on the 19th a lot of the early filers are getting held up and people that filed on the 24th and on are getting their refunds and changes to the wmr before the people on the 19th. my tax people just told me that the people for them have not gotten any deposits that they are being pushed to the 3rd h and r block people started getting their deposits on the 29th so my tax prep told me when I filed my day would be within the 5th deposit and that is what all the charts are saying. my tax prep guys are never wrong when it comes to this people that filed on the 11th and the 04th of jan are even getting ddds of the 3rd the and the reason for that is that they weren’t gonna send any out until the end of the month I even knew that they weren’t gonna put the first deposits before the 25th. so heres my guess. the people that filed last week are gonna get them by the 10th… prob a lot of us on the 5th because they are just now starting to send them out. the irs always does this where they move slow slow slow the first 2 weeks people wait and wait and wait and then poof they are speedy and everyone gets their refunds within a 10 day window. I have never waited longer then 10 days because I always wait to file until the end of the month hints last year filed 1\30 prob late at night then got mine 2\6 at like 3am in the morning it hit my card my wmr never updated until the 8th. My thoughts on this is id rather them not update them unless there is further info needed for that specific tax return because every second they waste updating is one second they are wasting not processing, that’s my theory. but weds and I think Friday nights into sat morning are when they are processing now for the people that have been waiting longer then 10 days are being updated in between because their 21 days are almost up but normally I get mine within the 10 day window with 2 w-2s 3 kids, over 8k in refund amount and filing right at the end of the month. so hopefully wed we will get a update but my tax place said they didn’t hit the ground running this year they took their time with the testing period so anyone after the 20th that filed will prob be right in the mix of deposits for the people that filed the day of or before we should all be the 5th deposits :)

[Traci]

Filed TT, DDD 2/3……….SBBT has DD..Finally!

[E]

Definitly will!!! good luck!!

[Anonymous]

@E Absolutely! And you do the same if you end up getting it quicker :)

my h&r hasnt updated yet and i have ddd of 2/3 too maybe there just slow

[cj]

Let me give you all some insight on disappearing bars. This year, I filed just a few days after the irs opened season and starting accepting returns, 1/22. Accepted 1/23. Bars, etc, never disappeared. I have a very similar return to last years with only two differences: I didn’t file early (about 10 days early last year) and I had the same insurance all 12 months of the year.
Last year, however… besides filing early, I had two 1095As. My insurance switched in the middle of the year. My bars disappeared. My
refund amount disappeared. I was eventually able order my transcripts online and see the codes… 570 (if i remember correctly) for review. Literally tons of people were seeing the same thing, in the same boat. Most of us were early filers or had something funny with healthcare. I eventually got a letter from the irs. ‘We’re reviewing your return – we dont need anything additional from you now – but we’ll be sure to let you know if we do.’ Never got another letter. Eventually wmr came back, the codes on the transcript changed and my refund got approved and sent with no changes to the amount or anything else… and I got a ddd. In May.

[Tyler]

I’m Still at one bar. Is anyone else in this same situation?

[Jae]

mine still says expected dd 2/9 Weird, my ddd is confirmed 2/3. Its just 9 am where I am PST…idk what to think

[§kipper]

filed 1/18, accepted 1/19, ddd 2/3. WMR didn’t show approved until Friday 1/29

[Taxking]

@sara

Sara does your wmr show tax topic 152 or no codes.. Just refund is processing

[Chillybones]

I was able to see Eder my account transcripts with my old address last Friday. I filed my taxes with my new address so not to sure what’s going on. SBBT says my refund did not come in on the expected date of February 1st. Also I have no bars topic 152 and states refund date will be made available after return is processed. I have no clue what is going on. Someone help.

[MiaM]

Mrs. Early.

I’d have to agree with others; they have gotten DDD earlier last week and even received their DD (I have gotten estimated for 2/3 but others already have their cash).

Dozens and dozens (at least). So somehow they have gotten their moola (and not through a RAL, Rapid Refund Loan). Turbo Tax has provided info that 3% of filers received their money (that were accepted with them on my date of 1/11), and others at 1%, or so, that filed on their particular such and such date (TT thing). So SOME people have indeed received their cash (TT says so, LOL), but also several here as well.

Anyway, wishing everyone best of luck the upcoming days with your DDDs and DDs.

[Joshua]

[script kiddy]

Right now there are tons of people who have been able to order account transcripts since last week, but have not been able to order return transcripts yet.

We don’t know how long it will take this year, BUT last year I went through the same thing and it took exactly a week for the return transcript to come in. In your case, if it ends up taking that long, then your return will be finished processing on 2/8 and you will receive a DDD on 2/10 for a deposit date of 2/12.

[Erin]

I filed with H&R Block on 1/20, was accepted 1/22. I did have a change of address this year. Still on one bar. Hopeful for some movement tonight.

[Melissa]

@ Mike I was the 27th and got approved on the 27th 20 minutes after they sent it in. Im in ohio and I still have no ddd but last year I filed on the 30th and had my money on the 6th deposited which means they sent it the 5th my bars never moved until the 8th so maybe we will all get some good news soon hopefully……

[Texasgirl]

@ Jayme, that is a really good sign that you will get your refund on the 5th…good luck! If not, it shouldn’t be delayed no more than an extra week…next Friday…since it hasn’t been 21 days I don’t think the IRS rep really want to confirm a date, they just want us to keep checking the WMR or our banks for a deposit. Sometimes the bars will change after deposits are made…no rhymes or reason to the IRS process…smh.

[chipndip]

state refund deposited for 2/3 but using netspend i will get it today.

i have NEVER received my state before federal.

wmr still at 1 bar filed & accepted 1/22.

[Lyn]

Thank u!

[Anonymous]

Nikki I also filed a ND accepted on t ground running 29th wmr says tax topic 152 as yours also. But I have no bars only no info available..we hen did your bars appear

[sally1986]

@kmccann
I feel after reading and researching, I think ours is just sitting somewhere and as not been processed yet. I filed on the 1/19 about 3 hours later was accepted by the IRS. The next day I could track on WMR. I read where the Account transcripts we can order is now is blank. The IRS is not telling us anything until after the 2/9. I filed my ex- husband taxes on 1/23 because he claims our kids. He has a DD for the 3rd. Last year we filed at the same time mine came back about a week before his did. I don’t think anyone of us truly knows what’s going on. Just here to vent, and keep up with all that is in the same boat.

[daveyhouse]

I filed three of my sons on 1/27 (all 1040EZ) The oldest has a DDD of 2/3 posted today

[Jenell]

Someone last night said she got a surprise deposit without wmr ever updating

[MiaM]

@Erwin. It worked like that for me (bars dissappeard for a few hours, but just a few hours so possibly be just the update I was going to get overnight anyway). I’ve also read the same thing happen to others. 1/30 disappeared overnight for a few hours, updated to 2nd bar shortly after to DDD 2/3.

As for others whose bars have disappeard and it’s been several days, it happened to me last year and I had to wait a while (was being reviewed). So if disappears for a short while, espcially if it’s middle of night, probably updating. Disappeas and it’s been several days or a week, may mean something else is probably up. (My experience).

Best of luck to everyone.

If anyone wants a ‘timeline’ of my ‘events’ (transcripts, bars disappearing, etc etc, lol, can Control F to Miam (am on some other forum posts as well). The posts are too long to rewrite (on mobile).

[Erwin]

I have DDD of 2/3. I have Chase Bank. I filed with Turbo Tax, having fees deducted.

I just checked SBTG and nothing yet!

[Melissa]

Okay so I talked to my tax place , and the people that were suppose to be the 29 or the 30th are probably being pushed to the 3rd then the second back of people are being pushed to the 5th or the 10th which is 2nd wed of the month but you guys remember that wmr never updated for a lot of people last year and they got their money before it updated because they can only update so many at a time and there are some many people that people get pushed aside when it comes to updating them. Im in ohio I filed the 27th with liberty tax I have been filing with them for 6 years and I was accepted on the 27th so 21 days from that is the 17th now I don’t think its gonna take that long I think think with so many filing early this year and the new software the people that filed early are waiting longer because of the lack of funds to have more people on staff. Im hoping right along with you guys that my refund gets here by the 5th because I am in need of it so bad but people that have filed on the 19th your 21 days are up on the 9th so you money should be available by the 5th. Unless there was something wrong with your taxes but not always sometimes it takes longer then 21 days if it required more processing. its a stressful situation I know. I wish we could call up there and say its our money we want it now. but that’s not how our government works they are slow and they don’t care if its our money. I know a lot of people that have filed on the 24th that have gotten a ddd of the 3rd so im not sure what that is suppose to mean but im pretty sure they don’t update that thing 1 time a day I think maybe once a week and that’s why people are getting there money before there bars even move. but if anyone filed in ohio please let me know if you have gotten a ddd yet im curious to see if anyone in ohio has gotten their money or have gotten there ddd yet. we are all playing the waiting game and im sure the irs is just laughing but it will come I think we will all get very good news by the 5th Hang in there guys its always your 21st day

[waitingforrefund]

I hate the wait. I gotta pay my house im super duper late

[michelle]

I was accepted on the 19th using turbo tax and as of right this moment still have not been approved so very frustrating!

[Jr]

Filed and accepted on 1/14
Still at one bar, tax topic 152
I am having fees taken out of my return and got the following message from SBBT

TPG has not received your federal tax refund.
Your expected IRS funding date of 1/1/0001 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

Has anybody else gotten the message above when they checked?

[Sharon]

Daily cycle returns are processed quicker than weekly cycle folks. So it depends on what processing cycle your on. That’s why someone who filed the same day as you get there return faster. They are on daily cycle. Weekly cycle folks always update or moves during week 2 of whenever you filed.

[E]

@alicia evans i have the exact same thing same card and ddd so please keep me posted if you get it before the 3rd!!! lol

[Anonymous]

Filed on the 28th of Jan accepted same day. Wmr site says no information the it had tax topic 152. Few days ago o think had tax topic 151 and 152. Anyone accepted ontge 28th and got a ddd yet

[Nichole]

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT’S UP WITH THE MESSAGE BELOW? I FILED AND WAS ACCEPTED ON THE 14TH.

I filed 1/16, accepted 1/19. 1/30 bars went away and as of 11:40am 2/1 still gone. It doesn’t say anything about being offset, however I do have student loans. Starting to get nervous…

[Luf]

@Amanda I am a full time State of Florida employee who has had health insurance through my job for more than three years. My bars disappeared yesterday.

@Erwin The reason people think that the bars disappearing means that something is moving along is because when this happened to a large amount of people on this forum last week, the vast majority of them received a DDD a day or two after. That’s all.

[HappyFeet]

@Nessa – When your bars disappeared do you remember what your tax topic code on wmr was, and if you were able to order transcripts? That would really help alot of us with this issue out if we new more specifics. Thanks for the update.

[Sara]

I don’t know why you guys think your bars disappearing means your return is processing and you will have an update soon. That is NOT The case.

[Anonymous]

Update after being on hold for about an hour. This year the IRS has changed the way they verify ID. Before they would check after you may have received your refund, but due to all the ID theft if anything has changed…like for me I just moved and changed my drivers license with the new address which of course sent a flag to them. It was an easy call…they give your 5 questions that they give you 5 answers to and you have to answer all correctly. Kind of like the questions that ask if you are checking your credit report. She had to give me a generic time frame of 6 weeks but they physically go in and update and release your taxes for them to finish processing. She was a very nice lady. She could not give me an update on where I would see the bars again on wmr but I was just relieved that is all it was. Seems like there is a lot of people in the same boat. If I had not called I would of never received my refund.

[sally1986]

@ Cindy Got this off of TT. After about 30 min on hold
Call the IRS: 1-800-829-1040 hours 7 AM – 7 PM local time Monday-Friday

When calling the IRS do NOT choose the first option re: “Refund”, or it will send you to an automated phone line.

So after first choosing your language, then do NOT choose Option 1 (refund info). Choose option 2 for “personal income tax” instead.

Then press 1 for “form, tax history, or payment”.

Then press 4 “for all other questions.”

Then press 2 “for all other questions.” It should then transfer you to an agent.

[Anonymous]

If you are able to order your account transcripts does that mean they are at least looking at your return?

[Amanda]

Btw i had coverage all year and got my DDD saterday for 2/3. Does anyone else use greendot? Does it come early ever?

[terryjr]

I’m not calling IRS, going to wait the 21 days like I should, but also was accepted the 19th, no bar movement, I’ve used TT for 12 years now and always had return on the first deposit date which would have been the 29th. Just waiting anxiously now because i have a good deal on a car I been hoping to buy with the return and the guy is tired of waiting I’m sure.

[Nicole]

I filed through TT on 1/16 and was accepted on 1/19. Still at one bar. I moved this year and up until today was able to see whether or not I could order transcripts under my old address but not my new one. Today, I can’t see either. Maybe that means they are in the process of updating my information? Hoping for some movement tomorrow. Impatiently waiting.

[Amanda]

So question for those who lost bars? Did u have healthcare .. Someone else brought to my attention the last day to get coverage and dotch tha penalty was yesterday so maybe they put ppl who didnt have insurance on hold until after yesterday???

[Jayme]

I filed the 25th and accepted on the 26th, it says as long as it’s approved before the 30th we should get refund by the 5th?? I still only have one bar, and my taxes are easy. It did say i could get my 2015 tax transcript in the mail.. is this a good sign? I have never been delayed before.

[Christine]

I mean 25th of JAN

[Caleb]

I filed on Jan 26 and was accepted on the same day. I got approved on Jan 30. My DDD is Feb. 3rd. I filed with TT.

If you are on your cell phone…there are three lines on the right of the screen. If you hit that…it will open up a menu…one of the choices are telephone numbers. It will give you a number to get a live rep on the phone.

[Christine]

Me!! I had this happen last year AND this year! Last year it took 6 weeks to get mine. After the 21 day mark I immediately called a tax advocate to help get mine pushed through. After that call it took 2 weeks a total of 6. They gave me no real explanation why then. Here we go again this year and I filed the 18th accepted the 19th and and on the 25th of Feb low and behold NOTHING. Like nothing on the app. No tax topic no refund amount just the stupid “Your refund is being processed” blah blah. On the website the only thing different is it does give my amount. I can order Account but no return transcripts. My immediate thought was……..screw this I’m never filing taxes again! Haha. I too am at a loss why and can’t handle this stress.

[Texasgirl]

Oops my last response was for LF….sorry Kriston

[MiaM]

DDD 2/3
Provided timeline of ‘events’. Can search me here Control F MiaM (it was a long post, lol).
Best of luck everyone.

[Bree]

What states are you guys in? I’m in GA and both my federal and my state refund still say processing.

[Texasgirl]

@LF, yes she said if you can get your “account” transcript then it has been processed and if you haven’t gotten any different code other than 152 by now you should be ok, it is just delayed because of the maximum limit the system can process on the 1st day everyone was submitting the 19th.

So, we were pushed back maybe up to 2 weeks but we could get lucky. I have read where some said they got theirs deposited without even being able to order either transcript, so not exactly sure how those transcript plays a role in whether or when you will be getting a DDD….if you are able to order your “account” transcript I know for a fact that you have been processed just waiting to get in que for a DDD…if you have no flags/issues.

Call this number is is not hard to get in….ask questions so you will know for sure what is going on with your refund to date…most are actually looking into it for you instead of saying it hasn’t been 21 days.

Good luck Kriston, I hope you get it sooner than latter to get your son a gift for his birthday….that would be awesome – 800-829-0582 #652

[Nikki]

It seems to just be a generic message like a catch all and each of us has a different issue so like everything theres no difinitive answer. If they would make it more specificlike actually have an ID verify code and a hey we just need more processing time it would seem their call center volumes would be drastically reduced. Im def not getting my hopes up andnif i have to wait i am patient enough to do so. Im not relying as much on my money as others are. Just want tonuse it to pay off some credit cards faster. It would be nice if the reps were better trained to handle the situation as in saying your return has been flagged. What will be will be and it just freaked me out at first because i cant remember if i had this last year

Seem like if you filed early they are not approving and getting Dds only people who filed after 1-20-16… I filed on 1-14-2016 my 21 days are up. But still only one bar.

[minnie]

filed 1/17,accepted 1/19,turbo tax, one bar,topic 152,only account transcripts, hopefully no offsets. it seems I always get accepted on a busy day lol..and thinking im 05 cycle still this year,so maybe all these factors play a role in why I dont get approved early this year and same as last year.
