Come on ppl….Why do you continue to stress yourself out OMG….at first people were worried about a DDD now you are worried about if it will come sooner. NO it will not. It will get deposited in your account that day. ITs up to your bank to release the funds or place a hold…..You got your date…CHILL

[John]

This is on my WMR. I’m scared. What does this mean? Please help me and I will give you 10% of my tax refund check.

[tY]

The only people that will get their money early are the ones that have netspend, greendot and whatever else prepaid released the funds right away (1/31/16). Then you have the credit unions the ones that only releases early as well they can expect their on 2/1/16. Netspend people can see theirs tonight along with the other prepaid cards that release early too. Now if you have a traditional bank dont expect anything until the morning of 2/3/16, nothing sooner or later with the traditional banks

[daph]

I filed on Jan 22..
was accepted hour later…
was approved on Jan. 29
DDD of Feb 3
hope this helps..

[Anonymous]

accepted: 1/11/16
approved 1/30/16

DDD: 2/3

waiting on refund but hoping it may come sooner post here if you receive

[Amber]

Yeah it really just depends. I got accepted on the 19th and im still sitting at accepted.

[pagelsm]

I’m still stuck in this boat. filed 1/25 and accepted same day. two days later went from one to no bars. no activity since. other than the ability to order previous years transcripts with an old address to come and go randomly

[Kevin]

A lot depends on your bank. Some banks make ACH deposits available as soon as the memo post is recieved. Others like my bank “Wells Fargo” will not post until the ACH transaction is finalized. This can be a 24-36 hour posting difference. If you are using a traditional bank for your DD I don’t think you will see it before Tuesday morning. If you are using a prepaid card it’s possible you could see it Monday morning.

[katGagal]

I’m ready too fuck the haters!! Filed 1/19 accepted 1/19 approved 1/31 DDD 2/3 I filed with liberty tax hope them checks get cut early!!!

Im thinking 2mrw night it will hit

[Hiloshark]

Filed and accepted on 27th. Still 1 bar.

[Ko]

I also filed early, was accepted 1/11 and have been on 1 bar since. No DDD yet. I can order account transcripts, but not return transcripts.

I did see this and it makes sense why so many of us are being “skipped over”. Not sure if it is true, but it is another explanation .

[chiinadollmimi]

My bars are still gone! Still can’t order my refund transcripts filed on the 20th at 8 am accepted at 8:09 already received state tax but nothing at all from federal, not even a kiss my tail message. Lol stressed! Full time student that lost my job late last year. #needmymoney like yesterday!!!

[Nikki]

Im sorry..

DIRECT DEPOSIT DATE: FEBUARY 5, 2016
REFUND CHECK SENT: FEBRUARY 12, 2016(not the 5th) my fault.

[Anonymous]

I filed with H&R Block efile on 1/18, had to call them because I noticed it wasn’t accepted yet on 1/22, I told them it’s always accepted within hours, so 2 hrs after I called, it was accepted. Still no DDD for me and it never takes this long. Has anyone that filed with H&R Block efile recieved a DDD yet??

[Ron v]

I filed on 1/13/16 turbotax sent me an email saying it was accepted on 1/14/16. And i only have 1 bar on the irs website so it hasnt been approved. Im panicking!!!! Please help me. I thiught doing it early was a good idea but the suspense is killing me and ive heard other ppl that filed after me and are already accepted.

[Kychick]

Udgh! Thanks for replying. If they are waiting for my federal good luck! Cause so am I. Have been at one bar since the 19th. Account transcript ordered but no return. I give up. Lol

[Luis]

It all depends on your card. A lot of people with netspend “say” they get it 2 days early. So who knows? I’m expecting Tuesday night going into wednesday. But I hope every morning it’s there. Tomorrow is Monday so banks are open.

This is my experience the last 8 years I filed with HRB. Last five with its own Emerald Card.

[Mula]

I filed on 1-21-2016 still stuck on 1 bar

[ilovemykids]

@chrissy thank you

[Jennifer]

From what I read, whomever filed before the starting date of the tax season on Jan 19th should receive their refund Feb 5th. I haven’t read anything about glitches or anything but I filed on the 13th of January and they didn’t accept my return until the 20th. My friend filed on the 20th and hers was accepted electronically the same day. It’s just different for everyone. Just be patient (which is soooo damn hard to do bc I am checking the irs website like 3xs a day to see if it’s been approved…lol) and keep checking. But like I said those that filed before the 19th should get theirs this Friday….Good luck everyone!!

i found this on irs website. may help those waiting for wmr to update!!

[Nikki]

FILED WITH TURBO TAX: 1/28/16
ACCEPTED: 1/28/16 (with a email staing that the IRS accepted my refund)
I chose to do direct deposit to my pre-paid card
As of right now.. 2:56pm.. I’m still at 1 bar (RETURN SENT) .
Have not yet been approved yet.
I have been searching the internet(IRS website) for direct deposit dates, it says:

If iRS accepts returns before 11:00am between January 19, 2016 (which is the FIRST day they start processing returns) and January 29, 2016..

DIRECT DEPOSIT DATE: FEBRUARY 5, 2016
REFUND CHECK SENT: FEBUARY 5, 2016

Im hoping that they WILL deposit the funds on the 5th of February.

HOPEFULLY A CHANGE BY TOMORROW PERHAPS?? ??

[Brit]

Received the same msg, the first time ever.. Smh, thank goodness I’m getting my federal. I’ll update ic anything changes

[Nona45]

filed and accepted 01\22 with eztaxreturn. 1\29 can order account transcript as of today still can’t order return transcript. WMR is still on 1 bar and topic 152. South Carolina

[dee]

I filed on 1/22 and was accepted the same day,but I’m still sitting at the first bar refund is being processed ….its very frustrating to have others after us get a ddd,I really don’t understand what’s going on this year

[pagelsm]

Haven’t been able to access any transcripts this year so far using my updated address, but sometimes I have been able to get to the menu to order prior years transcripts using my previous address or attempt to order this years transcripts with no success, and other times I can’t do anything with old or new addresses.

Could this be an indication of anything?

Or is this just a weird occurrence?

[e]

but it would only be on the 3rd right? like theres no way i would get lucky ad wake up to it tomorrow lol

[Luis]

e like I said it all depends around the Bank that your card uses. And to factor in the midnight time. I get mine around midnight depends on the time zone. You might it get earlier say 11pm or 12am or even 1am.

[pagelsm]

in my experience it seems that it always took longer to get refunds onto my emerald card, the last couple times i’ve had it direct deposited into my bank and it was much quicker.

[Katrina]

@ChillyBones: I’ve seen others make similar posts and it seems that the IRS is setting up to push out another round of DDD’s soon; since there were no updates today that we are aware of, it might be safe so assume that they have not updated our information for our viewing for saturday / sunday (meaning, we may or may not see an update tomorrow, depending on the IRS’ current schedule). When bars disappear, it seems to be an inclination of something moving forward in the near future. Whether it is good or bad is based on individuality, but it seems that it means good news for more people than not.

[Happy]

It has always taken 2 weeks for us.

[e]

i have it being direct deposited onto a prepaid card will i get it as fast as people who are having it putting it on a emerald card?

[BrittanyD]

I filed and accepted 1/22 with H&R Block and no ddd yet… Can’t order transcripts and no movement on wmr… I see others that filed after me get a ddd of 2/3 or before. Anyone know what’s going on?

[Anxious Peach]

Filed on 1/28/16 with TV
Accepted 30 mins later
WMR still @ 1 bar!

[Taramg5]

@mikejones333340 I believe you please read the last post I put up and forward that link to my email address [email protected]

[Luis]

If you have the emerald card you will get your money around midnight. I have always gotten it around 1230am. Of the date DDD given to me on WMR site. Now if you go thru a local bank it might take a coup of days.

Irs sends money at midnight to HR they take out the fees. And within “minutes” you get your money.

[Texasgirl]

I found this article and provided the links to read the whole story…it might explain a few glitches for some…

And yes, there have been problems. I have confirmed reports that a glitch in at least one program has resulted in the issuance of paper checks instead of direct deposit. Errors – mostly transposition of numbers – have slowed processing of other returns. There have been bounces for bad addresses. Returns have been held because of prior years when no returns were filed. And yes, identity theft continues to be a big problem especially when Social Security numbers for dependents have appeared on more than one return. Clearly, not everyone is having a smooth tax season.

It’s a statement worth repeating. The IRS uses a lot of internal codes on transcripts and they can mean different things. And what it means exactly isn’t always apparent to the person taking the call at IRS. Does that suck? Of course it does. Trust me. I’ve been on the end of those calls trying to decipher what’s going on for taxpayers. And I totally believe that taxpayers are calling IRS and getting two or three different answers about the status of their refund. And I believe that taxpayers deserve a better answer.

This season, I’ve heard from a number of taxpayers experiencing tax refund delays (though certainly nothing near last year’s education credit snafu). Initially, the trouble seemed to focus on those 1121 codes. The IRS was made aware of the problem and did issue a statement, saying:

A very small percentage of taxpayers may see an 1121 reference number if they check “Where’s My Refund?” after they initially were provided a projected refund date by the tool. The IRS is aware of this situation, and emphasizes that the small group of taxpayers who see this reference number should continue checking Where’s My Refund for an update. If we need more information to process their return, we will contact them — usually by mail.

Most of the taxpayers who reached out to me regarding the 1121 issue – including Donna – have since reported that they’ve either received their refunds or updated information about the delay.

When they give you one I don’t know what’s going on this year but I have my return within 7 days last year but a whole lot of people are waiting waiting and waiting lol

[Taramg5]

@refundwanter
I believe you, nothing else is making sense but what you have said. I filed early in 14′ got reviewed and didn’t get my refund until May. Then in 15′ I didn’t file till 2/3 and had my refund by 2/15. This year I was an idiot and filed early again and low be behold…..no update. I will send you my email address if you will please provide me with the link to that information. Also, are you pretty sure we will get our Ddd by this Saturday morning?

[Rozilyn]

It won’t show up on the where’s my refund the IRS will either send it directly to who you owe, I don’t know how you filed your taxes but if you did your taxes on a tech site and you paid for your return check the bank where your return was sent before its being sent to you and it’ll tell you that your Refund was applied to a debt owed

[iwantmy$$$$$]

@Katrina – hope so! Is it possible to see an update tomorrow morning or we would have to wait until Tuesday since the IRS is closed on weekends.

#tiredofwakingupdissapointed

[Nicjo]

Has anyone that filed/accepted on 1/24/2016 receive a ddd?

[Automatic]

If you are expecting back MORE than the taxes you paid last year, you will wait longer. IRS is in the business of making money. If you paid 10,000.00 in taxes last year and you expect a return of 8,000.00 – you should move along fairly quickly.

[Chillybones]

Since you seem to be the only one that is making sense. I was accepted on the 11th. Can only get account transcripts for 2015 with my old address. I filed with a new address. Also I have no bars anymore and it has that refund info will be made when available. Can you please help me understand this
Thank you

Sometimes they let certain things slip through the cracks I know I have also one year for a student loan and they did not take their money so I called them the next year she said some kind of way that overlooked it so either be happy and make sure you give your kids some of that money

[lavacandy]

Mine says still processing. A date will be provided when available.

I had 1 bar yesterday now no bars just that. It’s very nervewracking. Filed 1/11 accepted 1/12 with tax act.

[Katrina]

@iwantmy$$$$$: They may be updating their systems, not so much our information as the software they’re using might be being updated. Just hang in there, it seems like they really are trying to push as many people through as possible.

[Justhere4$]

Also hoping to have refund asap. Just worried it’s a weekend and banks aren’t processing. Will post when funds are available.

We filed with H & R Block. Filed 1/14/2016. Accepted 1/14/2016
On 1/15/16, we were able to see one bar in the WMR site.
It has never gone beyond the one bar.
I called the IRS. I was on hold for 2 hours. Then, the agent told me that she couldn’t even see my return in the system and would be unable to give me any more information for 21 business days !!!. So, she did not know if there was a problem or not.

Today, I called H & R Block and they told me the same thing. I know a lot of people who filed with H & R Block that are in a similar situation. People who filed with Turbo Tax and Tax Slayer got their refund 1/29…. I am very worried. I haven’t even gotten my state refund yet. Last year, I had that back in 3 days !

[iwantmy$$$$$]

Transcript line has been experiencing “technical difficulties” all day. Doesn’t anyone have any input of how long after account transcripts are available do the return transcripts become available? Was able to order my account transcripts on Friday 1/29

[Kg]

I filed on the 23rd which was Sunday. I used tt with the fees taken out and took the option for a net spend card. I got the card yesterday. But I still only have one bar on wmr.

[Katrina]

There isn’t a person here who knows absolutely everything there is to know. It’s a fact.

That being said, it’s better (and safer) to post your questions publicly here, so that 1. Others who search for your same question can have it answered aka sharing resources and 2. It can pose as a security risk to be sending private emails to anyone you don’t know personally. It’s why CraigsList offers the option of a ghost emails address for each party so it’s one less way to be scammed. If you don’t want to answer people, then don’t answer. If you want to email people, then email them. I’m just listing the practicalities of why it’s better to just ask here. Also, for those who are not good with technology, if you hold down ctrl + f, a search bar will come up at the bottom of your browser. You can then type in keywords or phrases, dates, etc. in order to try and skim through all of the banter.

also when i call there was no amount, only agency.

Will I still be offset if i filed hardship in fall?

[Anonymous]

I’m not here to bash on anyone but damn people. Read my post and follow what I say it will help you. Majority of the people on here are speaking from their ass. They have no idea what’s going on. I’m telling you people and my last time telling it…. Refund Status is updated 1 times a day there is no point in checking every hour on the hour. Check 1 time at 9am and check 1 time at 1pm. Updates are done early but sometimes people status will change a little late around 1pm due to them submitting everyone elses. This week coming up starting tomorrow in the morning you will see updates not everyone but some people. Majority of you will see something by friday or have your money come friday. Next week it will be 1 a weeks 1 deposit checking and the other for mail out checks. Just be patient and quit believing all the bs on here. I can answer almost any tax question. I prefer for you to email me to ask due to the long list of comments on here.

@krissy

Thatd be great if we get refund back within that time frame!
There is hope.. im seeing that people who filed 1/27 have ddd of 2/3 and 2/4. Hopefully those of us that filed on the 28th will get a ddd of 2/4 or 2/5.

[Missy]

Us early filers we sure did make a heck of “TEST DUMMIES”!! lol im never filing early again….to me it seems lile that’s the majority tht doesnt have a DDD yet

[Kandybaby]

Who else filed with h&r block please share your visit im curious to know was it just me or are others going thru thu this also

[Yarp]

One bar.

If I were a betting man, I’d say DDD of 2/12 is likely…but my heart says 2/5 :D

[Kandybaby]

Hello every one,
So i filed with h&r block on 1/19/2016 i rejected on 1/21/2016 then accepted on 1/22/2015 not to mention i got charged from h&r block 447.00 for the doing my taxes and the h&r rep said that the would charge me 150.00 plus 34.99 which is clear that was not the case.
I been on 1 bar with wmr until 1/29/2016 updated on wmr to two bars and a ddd of 2/3/2016. Do i was curious and i check on h&r block and they still have not updated yet. So i call the emerald card and i was told by one of the h&r block customer care team that irs will send my refund check on the 3rd and then i have to wait 3 to 5 more days because they bank takes this long…

Pleases take noticed that h&r block are the leagally stilling from people and false pulling people in to get your money and still make you wait and rubs it in your face.

I do my taxes ever year own my own so for now own i will cobtinue to do so and not go against the grain ever again…… beware of h&r block please dont mess with them i repeat dont mess with them and i will tell every body else the same thing im in phoenix az

[Rozilyn]

First of all I’m not pissing my money away I’ve been with NetSpend for 6 years I received my Social Security check early my payroll check early I only pay one flat fee of $5 a month no ATM fees and they also cash checks they also allow you to overdraw your account by $100 as long as you have direct deposit over $200 I went with Netspend because I was sick of the bank over charging me for everything

[Nycwifeandmom]

Fingers crossed guys.

[Kim]

Nope Im still at 1 bar as well. Filed and accepted 1/27.

[Rozilyn]

Mine say we’ll give you a date when one is available now this happened the year before last because the student loan form was in on the site so there was a wait

[Taxking]

@jerry

JERRY when your bars disappeared For two days like you Said did it have any type of code or just

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available

[Rozilyn]

I checked so much with the IRS about my return until they told me to keep my ass off and wait another 24 hours before I can check again lol but I did Check With Republic Bank, is the bank that taxact uses it still says that they are expecting my refund so I still have a glimmer of hope so if you have paid to file your taxes through one of the tax services check with the bank that they used taxslayer Santa Barbara , sbbt
