Filed the 25th, and was accepted within 5 minutes, on both State and Federal. However the bar has not moved to give a date, and state is still in “processing” mode.
Turbrotax though states between Jan 26th and Feb 15th.

Last year I had received my federal really fast, on Feb 4th, can’t remember exactly my filing date, but it was on day 6 that I got it at 2 am. State did not come till March 11th.
I don’t mind the wait on state, but wish federal bar changed and gave a date lol.

VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE GETTING THEIR QUESTIONS ANSWERED. It’s Mainly: I have no DD or I got a DDD. This is just to vent or gloat?

@Rick Topic 151 means you’re being audited. Its a mail correspondence audit. They say review but they will send you paper asking you to show proof of everything you claimed on Taxes. I’m self employed and I have had it happen twice and this year I got the same message once again. I have to send bookkeeping records for income, proof my daughter is mine and lived with me for more than half the year. Also have to prove head of household with lease, rent receipts or utility bills. You can fax or mail all info they want to prove what you claimed and then they will send you a decision. Either they will accept it or they will propose changes. I’ll be calling Monday morning to get a list of exact things they want me to prove to fax to them. I already have everything out and prepared to send everything via fax Monday.

@worried2015 no not as of today. But my state is requesting additional info

there no need to lie, DO NOT CALL THAT NUMBER !!!!!!!!! THIS POST IS A LIE. THERES NO NEED TO GET ON HERE A LIE.

@Ricks
It wouldn’t show up under offsets because offsets are if you owe a debt. Tax code 151 is the IRS saying they don’t agree that you are entitled to a deduction/exempton or credit you claimed on your return. So they’ll send you what they feel you deserve and you’ll have to prove the rest. Fortunately my cousin it didn’t have to go as far as needing court. His gf filed out a form 8332 releasing her rights to claim the kids for that tax year allowing him to do so. A few weeks later they mailed him a check for the rest.

[Anonymous]

@sadie

Do you have a new address or am offset

[Anonymous]

@Monica since you seem to know a little about this do you mind emailing me personally [email protected].

[Anonymous]

@Monica thanks for the info. I did claim my kids but I do this every year. I never had any issues before. I guess I will be going to court with the irs then. I mean I file the same way every year. And it has never been an issue at all. So I guess I’ll find out Wednesday along with many others how much I get back. But shouldn’t that be under am offset? That’s the part I’m not understanding. Usually it will tell you how much your refund was and what it is now.

[Marvin]

Hopefully we all hear something tonight I hope I have no offsets or anything same dependent every year refund is over 5,000 as usual praying for a update

[Dee]

Same here filed 1/18, accepted 1/19, was finally able to order account transcripts 1/29, but still not able to get return transcript. This is so frustrating!

[Anonymous]

Got my account transcript yesterday. Tried to order the return over the phone as some people said they had better luck there. Nope. Put in my ss# twice and they said they had no record of me. WTF. Getting worried. Still at one bar . Accepted 1/19

Hey y’all, i’m still stuck right there with ya =P

I filed Head of Household (no spouse) on the 19th and was accepted on the 20th. I’m in Missouri (MO). I have 1 bar, my acct transcript, no offsets, 1 dependent, eic, ctc, but no RT or DDD…

I’m still sitting here staring at the negative numbers in my bank account wondering if i’m gonna be homeless monday morning…

Is there anyone with my stats that has seen movement on anything other than WMR?

I was able to order my account transcript today is that a good sign

[Rdizz]

If I order transcripts and I moved, but it asks me to put my old address.do the transcripts got to the new or old address?

[Dee]

I have no offsets either! This is frustrating

[Katrina]

We have separate bank accounts. The issue I have run into is, Bluebird needs the SSN of the first person who filed (aka my husband). The first SSN or head of household must match the SSN that is on the bank account. They won’t even allow joint accounts if these two do not match perfectly. Not sure why it’s so hard for them to look literally one SSN down, lol. They make no note of this or anything until you look up the fine print on their website.

[Monica]

@Ricks
Tax topic 151 is for appeals. Most times I’ve seen ot os when there are additional dependants added that weren’t claimed previous years. For instance my cousin claimed his gf children on his returns. They loved togeher and she did not have any income so he filed HOH and claimed the kids. When he got his refund he got a portion (the amount he would have received of it was just him, no eic). He did not get the rest until after going through the appeals process. Ive seen in other forums people got that tax code when they did not claim their unemployment income.

[Taj Monique]

Does anyone knowif credit unions ddeposit early or earlier than banks. I’ve read that a couple places that it gets ddeposited earlier.

[Concerned]

Thanks

[Winnie]

Same boat, I called offset hotline and no pending offsets or anything. I’m guessing that is true otherwise I wouldn’t be able to order account transcripts . Anyone know if wmr updates Sunday mornings?

[Anonymous]

@katrina so your saying that you used your own bank account instead of the joint account that also has your husband in it.

[WaitinginSC]

@Shantelle I’m from SC. Filed 1/14 approved 1/15. No DDD yet either

[Dee]

I filed with tax act 1/18, accepted 1/19, I was able to order my account transcript 1/29 but as of today 1/30 still no return transcript. Anyone have any idea how long it takes after account is ready before the return shows up?

[Scott]

Yep. Filed on a thursday got serve card from amex Following
monday

[Katrina]

(Cont’d) that I’d see my refund sooner than later. Paper checks are a scary thought.

[Katrina]

@Feda: I used my bank account with Bluebird instead of my husbands and because I’d filed him as the first person, Bluebird guaranteed they will be rejecting it. I’m just hoping if the IRS receives the money back quickly,

[Dee]

Same boat filed with Tax Act 1/18, accepted 1/19 I am able to order account transcripts only on 1/20 no movement on the war 1 bar only!

[Bigfin83]

You should wait, little errors like this happen all the time and will be fixed by an agent. This may introduce a delay in processing your return but filing a 1040X won’t speed it up and you will likely have your refund before they even have a chance to look at your amended return forms.

[mystcngs]

Wow, so many impatient people hol cow. Last year my return got flagged for manual review and I did not get it unitl MAY ..
That being said
Filed on 01/09/16, Accepted 01/11/16
was able to order my return transcript online BY MAIL 01/29/16 ( online is not an option this year due to a security breach last year of the IRS website)
until this morning WMR has had 1 bar
This morning got my 2nd bar and a DDD of 02/03/16
Be patient people..Good grief some of you filed 5 days ago and are freaking out wondering what is taking so long? Geeze you’re going to give yourselves heart attacks if you are that impatient. We are only 11 days into the beginning of the season since The IRS did not officially start processing returns until 01/19 and technically until the 21st as the first two days were for accepting returns only. They did not start actually processing until 9 days ago… EVEN for people who filed early. Be patient…have a margarita…and relax. You will get your refund and I think a lot of people will start seeing updates in the next week.

I don’t know what the reason for this code is but I don’t think it has anything to do with having a baby. I had a baby in October and I do not have this code. Hope it doesn’t hold ya’ll up any longer than needed.

So I need an answer an hopefully someone has been through it or something similar. I have a tax topic 151. Will I get my money on my scheduled date or I wont? I don’t have an offset of any kind I’ve talked to turbotax and they informed me they don’t see anything wrong but the irs does. Idk what it’s about. But on my refund status it says I will receive my funds in full or partial but once again I have no offset so I don’t understand. Can anyone help or explain

[Anonymous]

No they never attempted to Deposit it. Idk the reason but its being mailed instead. How is your story similar? Why are u getting a check instead of DD?

[Anonymous]

Filed jointly on 1/25
Accepted 1/25

As of this morning on WMR’s site my husband’s social returns no bars with the message that it’s still being processed and will be updated when available with no tax topic number. However, when we search our refund by my social the 1 bar is still there and says we should receive our refund in the 21 days time period and I have a link to the tax topic 152. The refund amount shows up on both of ours.

Not sure why one of us has lost bars and the other hasn’t. Hoping we get a change in status at some point.

[Marvin]

Filed and accepted 1/20/16 still one bar frustrating because I received my refund in 7 days after I filed last year and it’s a little alarming seeing ddd for filers after me any answers on what’s going on here??!!

[Monique]

@ GetanswersNOW! I called that number and it seems like a whole bunch of advertising when you call it. Is that the correct number?

[WaitingInMichigan]

Figured I’d give everyone a little update. I finally got approved and a ddd from the irs and it showed up on my wmr tool
I filed the 19th and was accepted the 21st
And my dd date is February 3rd. So I hope I can give some of u guys hope that ur money is comin soon!

[Katrina]

@Feda: thanks so much for the info. So they tried to hit your bank account yesterday / today, it didn’t work, so they changed it same day to be mailed?

Filed with TT : 1/21/16

Yesterday was the first day I tried ordering account transcript and it let me, but it wouldn’t let me get my return transcripts.

Is there hope I will get my money by Feb 5 ?? I see people filing and being accepted a few days after me with a ddd already.
Really frusterated at this point ?

[Anonymous]

@katrina. I was accepted on the 19th and approved on the 30th which is todaym supoosedly theyre gonna Mail it to me by Feb 5th. So well see when ill actually receive it.

[Impatient]

I’m pretty sure Ive received my DDD on Sunday the past few years. Leads me to think I’m on weekly deposit cycle.

[Katrina]

@Feda: Sorry, it just finally updated with your response to me. Thanks so much!

[Scott]

I filed 1-14-16 and was accepted same day and i finally have a ddd for 2-3-16
I used tax act and live in Illinois

[Katrina]

@Feda: Would you mind sharing your accepted / approval dates? You are the only one I’ve seen this year that’s getting a check. Mine will be a check, too, when they reject it, but I’d like to know yours so I can estimate what they’ll do with mine.

I did too. However, I didn’t request a transcript. It is important to mention that a couple of my friends received DDD on sunday as well.

[Anonymous]

@Katrina i actually filed mine on Nov 28. Because i filed for my 2014-2013 taxes. I did it through a tax preparor and he said that he e-filed it. My refund was received on the 19th of Jan. It has been approved today but im getting it mailed to me by Feb 5th instead of a DD like it was supposed to.

[Amanda]

I also filed 1/23 was accepted 1/23. I was able to view account transcripts but not return. I always get mine on a Friday I’m assuming we will be in the next update and have it before the end of the week.

I know I have a offset and they are taking it from my fed and state.

[Rozilyn]

That same thing happened to me I order a Brinks card which is owned by Netspend I haven’t received the card yet ordered it on the 15th of January so I called today not only did my social security number not show up neither did the account number that they gave me showed up so you might want to call them I’ll give you the number if I can 8778493249

[Anonymous]

@Scott thanks for the info. At WMR it says my refund is Scheduled to be sent by mail on Feb 5th. If it actually gets mailed on that day then i should receive 3-4 days later. It shouldnt take weeks for a mail to arrive. Im bummed tho about not getting a DD. And i never got a mail from them explaining why it wasnt DDed.

No DDD for me

[Anonymous]

We filed jointly on 1/25…accepted 1/25 and we had 1 orange bar until this morning. My husband’s social then lost his bars with the standard “still processing will update when available” with no reference code…however my social has not lost WMR bar and still says we should receive a refund in 21 days with the tax topic 152 linked.

I don’t know what is going on. Part of me thinks if we’re being reviewed then both of us would have lost the WMR bar but then another part of me thinks this is the IRS so who knows. :/

Oh and we can’t order transcripts for either of us. Granted the IRS webpage says it takes 2-3 weeks to be able to order transcripts. *so confused*

[Curiosity killed the cat]

@ concerned…
Tax topic 151 is for appeals. It means you are under review or getting audited. This happened to my cousin when he claimed his gf kids and they asked for proof he was providing for them. I’ve also seen it happen to people who fail to report unemployment income. Honestly there are many reasons that can trigger a review. I suggest calling the IRS Monday morning for your specific reasoning.

[Waiting]

So you didn’t update last night?
