I don’t believe it matters who you used to file. I used Turbo Tax last year. Filed on February 4th and had my money. Updated on the weekend and had my deposit by the following Tuesday, February 10th. I have never waited this long. And I’m actually counting the year I had an offset and still got my money very quickly. This year I went back to FreeTaxUSA which I’ve used many times and never had any problems. Seeing a lot of theories surrounding why us “accepted on the 19th” people are waiting so long. It doesn’t seem like theres any real order. Its just a waiting game…. Frustrating….. If it helps, I filed on the 18th, got accepted on the 19th, and have had one bar with topic 152 ever since. I’ve gotten so tired of seeing that bar I’m calling instead now to hear over the phone if I have any updates from the automated system. If I see that bar again…… Hang in there everyone. Our time will come!
Any updates on Sunday or Nada till tomorrow?
Hey y’all kinda worried. Is anyone else stuck on the no ddd yet? One car WMR only can order account trans. Have no idea if I’m daily or weekly not sure how to tell. :( no offsets when I call the line.
Help?rude, just rude… smh
Im here reading comments. I never even heard about this site till this year. I know people are anxious but the ones with DDD should not be worried about it anymore. Ill be fine yes when I see a date but again last year my WMR never updated. Everyone case is different and I think ppl should just relax…Does that answer your question?
Filed 1/24
Accepted 1/25
Approved Not Approved As of Yet
No DDDI’m a 1/22 filed. Used TurboTax. One bar, cannot order transcripts due to some error (does not match records). Frustrating!
I wish I had status bars let alone a DDD lol. I filed with TT on the 20th on the 27th my bars went ghost. never had this one happen. But I am praying for the 5th of February. I am praying all updates tonight when WMR goes down at 9pm-12am and again at 3:30am-6am EST. I’m in Ohio….. I did call the IRS and no help since it was not the 21 day mark, I also was able to order account transcripts. But no Refund transcripts… We shall see. However I did read that the IRS in fact did start releasing refunds on the 29th which was the first small batch and then a larger batch on the 30th this included the early filers and some that also a few from the 19-23rd…. I guess a lot of us weren’t included in that batch, but according to these accountants that the IRS will release on any given day.
If you used turbotax check santa Barbara tax products group click taxpayer enter the same info as you do on WMR! It said I have a ddd of Feb 4 then yesterday it changed til Feb 1 WMR still shows processing sbtpg is more up to date in my opinion. If you didn’t use tt and had to pay fees to file your taxes find out what bank the tax preparer uses and check with them. Every year I get my refund the same day that I get approved on WMR and have for 4 years now. Last year I got a text saying my net spend card had been loaded so when I checked WMR my status went from processing to approved and refund sent with my ddd so they didn’t update anything until after they sent out my $ I would check with sbtpg definitely and those of you who do will you post back and let me know what message they show you??!
Actually WMR always shows the date that the refund will be deposited “by” and in all the previous years including current the refund will post to your account approx 2 days before this date. I have family members who have received their refunds already who had a deposit by date of 2/1. So the answer to some of your questions is yes it can absolutely post early to your account and yes their are weekend posts as well.
Woke up with no bars, hopefully I get a DDD tomorrow!! Sprinkling refund dust to everyone! ???
@minnie Thanks for the feedback!
I forgot to mention that the healthcare issue has nothing to do with me because I have had healthcare provided by my employer since 1980 and it continued right into retirement. Unless IRS is batching by SSN or State or Region, there is no reason that they should hold up my piddly little refund when nothing but a 2% COLA changed since last year. If I were filing with a W-2 instead of a 1099-R, I’d be able to use the 1040-EZ form. With the 1009-R, I’m forced to use the 1040-A.
And whatever u do, don’t call IRS until 21 days have passed. It’s pointless. Trust me I did that last year. Also check the offset hotline daily and see if your offset has completed, so that u know how much was taken and now know what to expect. If u don’t have an offset then its for sure an eic issue. U will receive the other portion of your refund, but must wait for the IRS letter which takes up to 30/days to receive and up to another 60 days for irs complete in order to see if u qualify to receive the eic portion of your refund. Tax topic 151 isn’t the end of the world, either u owe a government debt, or u claimed an eic that is questionable. This is not an audit.
Been reading alot of forums and did 2 days extensive research. Tax topic 151 is either 1 of 2 things and that’s it…. 1.) U have an offset, meaning you owe your state a debt, child support a debt, u claimed bankruptcy, or u owe student loan a debt. U will get a letter via mail explaining what was taken, and your rights to appeal the IRS decision. The likely hood of u getting the remainder or your taxes depends on how much unowe. Example: u got a 8000 return but owe 1200 in back state taxes from last year…. U will still receive the remainder portion of your taxes, usually within 10 days of receiving the tax topic 151 on the wmr website. The only other reason you would get tax topic 151 is because u claimed someone newnon your refund that u didn’t last year. Neice, nephew, brother, aunt, girlfriends child etc…. U will still get your refund but won’t get the eic ( earned income credit) portion until u supply information to the IRS validating that u take care of that person. They will want anything from proof of their residency living with u, to doctor and school records. Either way the wait sucks, u should still get a partial return, as long as your debt isn’t bigger then your refund, and if u have other credits do to u other than eic. Hope this helped. I’m waiting too. Was banking on that money to pay debts. We should never bank on IRS to do anything ina timely manner. That I’ve learned. So frustrated.
Both my mother and I filed and were accepted on 1/22…..still stuck on one bar for both of us. Also did my daughter on 1/18(was accepted 1/19) and she’s still at one bar as well. Seems to be taking alot longer this year.
Same here I filed on the 20th at like 8 am then was accepted the same day 5 mins later, I checked wmr the same day everything looked great, I filed with tt as I have done for the last 4 years, I even did the security measure of adding my id, I was lucky enough to win some money in Indiana last year so I received an Indiana state return, I live in Ohio, I have already received that Friday, on Wednesday I checked WMR and all bars are gone with the exact same message, no bars, no amount of the return, nothing. I called on Wednesday and the irs lady said since it’s not been 21 days yet she could not provide any information. I have always been able to order my transcripts 10 days after filing and received DDD a Wednesday and had my $$ by the following Monday. I am beyond annoyed with this process I read on a TT accountant forum that the IRS as of Friday had only released 1% of refunds and then on Saturday released a large amount of refunds. I do think they def need to fix all problems and hire someone to ease our minds when the bars have disappeared with any info as to why. I know just like everyone else that we need/want our money. I going to stay positive and say us that filed on 01-19/01-25 should receive our money by Friday. It looks like they are running slow, and it’s going to take 14 days for us to see our bars back or money in our accounts.
@Jessica Mine has always come early. Even last year with an offset. Don’t think everyone is stressing, just anxious. Why are you here?
@John… That’s generic and on everyone’s WMR page.. Tax topic 152 is a good thing..
Thanks for starting the thread! I think most people are anxious to get their refund, and wondering when they will receive it. There is always that hope that it will come early!! Fun to see when others get theirs and know yours is just around the corner.
I am having mine deposited to my Netspend card. Last year had it deposited at the bank, I think it came a day early. I know my WMR status didn’t update to three bars until after I received my refund. I heard Netspend deposits 2 days early, so fingers crossed for tomorrow!
Same here. Accepted on the 19th, still only one bar and able to order just accouny transcripts. Kinda hoping for a DDD sometime towards the end of the week. I’ll update here if I hear anything different.
@jessica also false I’ve always gotten mine early with regular banks and not prepaid etc

TT 152Filed: 1/17/2016
Accepted: 1/19/2016As of 1/31/2016 @ 3:24 PM CST, no WMR movement or changes.
There are some people losing their WMR bars with error code 9001 or something, saying secondary tax filers SSN used. This makes no sense to me, since my wife and I filed joint, and I use WMR for both of us and have no seen code: 9001 EVER.
I called the IRS on Friday, but made the mistake of saying WMR did say received which promoted them to say they can not open an info until after 21 days, so I suppose unless you get lucky, the only way to truck them into giving you info may be to lie about WMR. Either way, she did tell me that if there was an issue, i would know by now,
At this point, I am beyond worried, I am just annoyed and angry. I know they say not to plan on getting your refund by any date, but come on.. I just want to see some likely information that pertains to what is actually going on here!!
I see a few different ideas on the main page about not getting refund at all this coming week..
Any ideas?
filed 1/28 with freetaxusa, accepted a few hours later

using direct depositmy boyfriend filed the 27th through TT and it says an estimated date between january 28th and february 17th. he is still at 1 bar on WMR
@wow no matter if that was intended for everytime On here, that was Ignorant! You’re obviously bored with your life to even take the time Out to Respond. It’s our money at the end of the day so Fuck your feelings. I’m a full-time student, work full-time and have a family. Any extra dollars in our account are always species and needed. Get off your high horse before you get knocked off of it. #carryon #dropsthemic ✌
Filed and accepted both on 1/21, 1 bar on WMR, I am currently only able to order an account transcript. From all information gathered, it seems that if you are able to order the account transcript but not the return, Your refund is being processed for the next DDD, so my best guess is a DDD of 2/5. But I wont know until WMR updates. However, I have gotten my refund in the past before I got 2 bars, so I never really rely on the WMR tool.
