      @sarah21

      I am in enrolled agent so I always do my own taxes however this year I was diagnosed with colon cancer so I really need the money right now so I went ahead and paid TurboTax even though I swear my clients tell me how bad they are just to get the refund advance. Said I was only eligible for opted $250 yet my refund is $8,000 I feel like these refund advance places are a crock of crap. I will never do this again I will always file my own tax returns I can’t believe I paid someone else to do it.

        This happened with the stimulus last year too the IRS corrects it and you’ll get the correct amount owed to you it may take longer so be aware. Do not amend your tax return it will be a nightmare for you amended tax returns are taking at least a year to process.

                  @ayannasade I file my own return with my own software since I’m Tax Preparer so no fees and I still don’t have it either. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Who knows.

                    @Rianej hope you’re talking about the other Sarah. Because if you aren’t you’re very misinformed. I can’t owe the IRS or state as a tax Preparer. I get 10-12k back every year. If I owed I could not prepare returns.

                        You can click my name and see every post I’ve written. It’s unkind to attack someone for no reason. Idk who the other Sarah is but she’s not very smart. I laughed when she thought sharing routing numbers is personal info. That Sarah is NOT me. I only write under @sarah21

                              Okay I’m done with arguing with people ask tigerlilly green dot has a lot of cards and not all deposit the same. That’s why she goes by routing numbers. But okay good luck to everyone, if I’m wrong then I’m wrong but I’m not going to continue arguing with unknown people on the internet. I’m chillin.

                                I said GREEN DOT. And if people got their refunds they wouldn’t keep writing on this site. Giving people false hope, kinda sad.

                                    A lot of people lie on this site. I know Green Dot doesn’t deposit early. But green dot has different cards. I’m talking about the main card. Not the money card. But hey I got tax returns to do all day. I can wait 24 hours. A lot of people will be pretty disappointed. But hey good luck lol

                                      Before I got this card I thought this was one that gets them early found out after I filed TT/Green Dot does NOT release early. Tax refunds come on their DDD. No use checking today at all. We have less than 24 hours.

                                        Just get as much information as you can. Some examiners are more lenient than others. It may be just a random audit for no reason. It happens.

                                          Not true. Filed 1/13 no review here. Some are random and some are flagged, others just have previous exams.

                                              Tax Preparer here. You will need a lease that show the children on their with the address listed on her return. School records with the address. Medical records with the address. Deal with this a lot.

                                              If let’s say they have 50/50 custody, the person who makes the most breaks the tie.

                                                The average refund last year was $2,781. $10,000 is well beyond that.

                                                  @pikachu Not a CPA. Barely can get jobs out here being a CPA. I’m a state registered tax Preparer hopefully will pass my last Enrolled Agent test on Saturday.

                                                  Just because “you can’t do much with 10,000” doesn’t mean that’s a low refund. That’s a very odd statement to say and concerns me. A lot of people defraud the government and receive larger refunds from fraud. Or like I said you only make minimum wage with 6 kids.

                                                  EITC has income limits.

                                                                    DDD 2/26, green dot card.

                                                                    I feel like I messed up and should have got Netspend.

                                                                    I usually have my refund go into my bank (Chase) but they never deposit early.

                                                                    So I got a prepaid card and I think it posts day of too. So it was pointless.

                                                                    I have my own tax software because I’m a Tax Preparer so no fees. Can you verify if GreenDot Bank releases early?

                                                                      I was a test batch and still got DDD 2/26. I’ve been saying 2/26 this whole time. Kinda disappointed I was right

They say that EVERY year since path to cover their asses. No tax service knows either. I’m a Tax Preparer and I don’t know for sure. My best guess is 2/26 for myself and my clients.

                                                                        in reply to: Transcripts updating #4359556

I get irritated with some of them. They honestly don’t know what they are talking about and have a script.

My current cycle code is 20200405. 2019 I was 20190505. 2018 I was 20180405. 2017 I was 20170505. Someone on here said all pathers this year are weeklies. Don’t know how true that is 🤷🏼‍♀️

My experience 6-15 months after that letter. If you plan on claiming insolvency do not sign the form. File an amended return and mail it to that address in the left corner of the notice along with a copy of that notice. As long as you really were insolvent and there was nothing else missing on that year you won’t owe. If you google insolvency form you fill out that chart. It’s your income and assets in the year it was cancelled. The IRS may ask you for that to be filled out while the amended is processing.

If you did not have assets or income to pay that debt in the year it was discharged. You can claim insolvency on your return which then makes the income non taxable.

If you look at the history of this board. It’s a delay in the refund and they are reviewing the return. Most were fixed on its own and people got their refunds. If it’s still there after the 15th call the IRS.

My tax return has been processed since January 25th. Just waiting on my DDD, which I’m sure I’ll see movement Saturday.

                                                                                                                                            This is the first year I’ve been in a test batch though so unsure how it will go.

                                                                                                                                            I’m pretty optimistic for the 19th. My DDs are Wednesday’s.
