Thanks again Bart, you are right my wording just changed this morning to “We have received your return and it is being processed” I am just so happy that it is finally an update on wmr. So I guess it will be about two more weeks now.

[Anonymous]

@Deveney – cycle code that is….code is still 570

[Anonymous]

@Deveney – hmmm i have the same code and dates as u but still nothing. hopefully itll update soon. did wmr ever update for u?

[Rob]

My KY state return was filed through Liberty Tax and they sent me an e-mail on February 10th saying it had been accepted, over a month later here on March 12th, still getting “We are unable to provide information about your return electronically” on the website, when I call it’s just a automated system that says they have received it and it is processing, no way to talk to an actual person. What is going on here?

[Deveney]

Just an update, eFiled with IS through Turbo Tax on 1/29, accepted the same day. cycle code 20150505.
Stuck on 570 with processing date of 2-23 FOREVER… Last Friday, Transcripts updated with my 846 code with a new code of 20150905.
Today My refund was deposited into my bank.
This was only my 2nd year filing IS, last year was paper, did not realize there was an offset until after processing it took 11 weeks.
This year 5 1/2 weeks.
I hope everyone else gets 846’s soon, the first round is on me….. Cheers!

[LMC]

Sharon, no, my transcript does not show code 971. I’m just stuck at the 570. It shows it was to be processed on 3-02-2015. A relative of mine (who efiled thru turbotax also) is stuck at code 570 as well and it shows hers was to be processed on 2-23-2015. So far, nothing seems to be happening as far as processing goes.

[Selfie]

Filed on 2/1/15 and was accepted on 2/5/15. Got error code 9001 & no bars on WMR!! Called & talked to IRS & they stated it’s was nothing I need to do & that they jus had to do some verification on there end!! Received a letter to verify my Identify on 2/25/15 went into IRS office & was told they could not tell me any information until I receive the second letter which I received today 3/11/15 which stated the same thing as the first letter!!! Ughhhhhhh…… Have any one received their refund whom have dis 9001 crap!!!!

[LeeRoy]

Still showing pending on mine also. E-filed on Mar 1st and already got my fed refund! What is going on with Louisiana????

[Anonymous]

I finally got through to someone. It was mailed to my old address :-( she said it could take 3-5 more weeks now. Oregon checks are mailed from Texas. You should have yours by now! I’m so sorry you don’t!

[Tanya V]

I’ve read that it won’t show the 971 IS form code on your transcript unless you mailed it in after you filed.

[BartD]

justasking no always does it take a long time.. working with a TA they have direct access to ur “irs agent” handling ur return… so they can get it processed a little quicker

sotired he cant see any changes to ur transcript because there were no changes made and now u have to go back into processing.. if march 6th is true then u are 1-2 weeks out… ps doubt u will get that call back
‘
jeremy121 lets just face it ur under review and they are spinning u in circles… u have to just wait wait wait sorry

cathy transcript can update weekly or daily and urs just didn’t update u will get ur refund on march 13th if that’s what she said

shafeqah 5 weeks at this point

Mparker oh they are screwing tons over

TYTY27 u can be pulled for review and after u do ur id verify it still takes about 5 weeks

Audrey anytime the return is actually being corrected it will have the amount disappear.. if ur in errors expect an additional 3 weeks

Zach that’s odd usual time is about 2 weeks at this point I feel ur def under review and that’s whats taking longer I would keep calling them

Nicole no not yet

mattr 2 notices were sent it makes me believe u are also under review I would call them

crystal that means nothing is or has changed in or on ur return…

tyrone because they pulled ur return to pay the offsets and might take a little longer to update or they put u under review

jenna means they flagged ur return and ur under review and will want to verify something

TW they are def verifying ur return for that large of amount and that is exactly what the hold up is

[sharon]

Lmc, I am with you, I filed though turbo tax and efiled my IS as well through them. On my transcript it is not even showing the IS form. Is yours?

[Mandi]

What does it mean when my refund status changed to “the original refund has been changed and I will receive a letter”? Why would my refund change!?

[Jeffery]

I talked to a person yesterday and i was told that i have to wait 45 days from the date they received my IS form which will be the end of this month. I maid it to Kansas City so i guess like everyone else i have to wait

[Anonymous]

Just so everyone knows I had a 846 .cycle code was last thursday. I got a letterrible monday saying I will get the money in a few weeks. It was supossed to be DD in bank but we received a check in the mail today. WMR never updated either. Just thought I would let everyone know

[justasking]

@bart. I don’t know if you remember me but I wanted to ask you a question I filed Jan 20 th and was accepted same day than I was at one bar with topic 152 amount shown.well after 21 days I called and found out that I was resequenced and put back in the system manually and re-accepted on the 30 of Jan so I wanted again and called and was told i was under review because of a dollar w-2 that I didn’t put in because I am a hair sltylist so I filed self employed. So I called and asked for a tax advocate because last year I had to do the same because I didn’t get my return uuntil july . so the advocate called and she said I need to amend my return. I did ssent it to her and today she called back and said my amend was approved and I should receive my money in about weeks and she will call me on april 8 the to see if I got my money yet.my question is I thought amends take a long time or did my tax advocate make a miracle? can u enlighten me please

[Kat1230]

HI. Same boat here but in West Texas. We choose a paper check because our locoal bank has screwed up simple things in the past with our accounts in the past and according to WMR, it was mailed off on the 27th–Still not here. Our return has the correct address. Did you get any info from the IRS? We’ll keep you posted if we get an additional info or the check.

[Anonymous]

I took your advice Bart and called the IRS back today, the nice gentleman on the phone told me I was finish with my review on March 6. However, he didn’t see any changes on my transcripts so he is sending it over to referral so that it shouldn’t take another 6-8 weeks and if I haven’t heard from someone in 7 days to call them. How long do you think it would take to get my refund now? Has anyone been through the referral process this year? Please let me know what to expect.

[sheryl]

Sheila

IF YOU FAX WITHOUT 12C letter they will throw it out. Best is to wait for the letter.

[sheryl]

here’s my experience:

USED TURBO TAX, submitted 1/26 IRS originally REJECTED due to wrong dependent social. I corrected and resent, and they were accepted.
For 2 weeks i was stuck on 1 bar, then the 3rd week they disappeared. My transcripts have all said N/A except RETURN transcript which had stated no return received.

After 21 days i called IRS, 1st rep said my return was never received
2nd rep said that they were processing
3rd rep finally said it looks like i will get a letter but not under a review
it was a 12c letter stating they did not receive my 1095a from covered ca. (thanks obama)
5 days later 3/2 the letter was actually sent out, and i received 3/4

I immediately faxed the missing 1095a ONLY (NOT OTHER FORM 8962) and called 2 days after they said they had them and to call if i did not receive my refund in 4 weeks.

LAST NIGHT TRANSCRIPTS FINALLY UPDATED WITH 3/30 PROCESSING DATE AND CYCLE 20151003, NO WMR UPDATE THOUGH OR DD.

Happy to see some progress. I’ll let everyone know if i get a wmr update tonight. Good luck

[terra]

I was accepted Feb 5th, now approved March 5th, and says will receive a refund in due process. when I called they said you still have to wait for it to say it has been sent and then after that they can give no dates as to how long you will receive it. I said so that could even be months and she said yes!

[cheryl]

update.. called back yesterday.. Was told that since I had surpassed day 40 that thye could now tell me the truth… wtf… She said 1 out of every 5 returns with 1095 forms were being held for review. And if you didnt have the official form as opposed to the info being entered by your tax preparer then your return was sent to the reject room. But they have been informed not to do anything with those returns until the 40 day mark. Then they will send out a letter instructing you what to send in and where to send it too. She said until that point you are stuck in limbo. She told me all they needed is a copy of the original 1095 form faxed to them and that it would be up to two weeks before I see a change in the wheres my refund. She said not to bother to call to see if they recieved the fax because they wont tell you ( that part really annoys me and seems really fishy) and then she said and don’t bother calling back for 4 weeks because worst case scenario is it might take them that much longer. grrrrrr I will tell you this.. I might be able to put off calling for a week or two but I’m not giving them another month with no checking up on them!

[Anonymous]

I filed 1/25 accepted on 1/26….bars have been missing for sometime now. Have called many time and keep getting told the IRS made a systematic error while processing my return. they keep telling me 45 days, every time I call I have called once a week. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? Would realy like to know when my taxes would be done.

[William T]

Surprised TerribleTax allowed everyone to submit without 1095A. I used HRBlock, which I liked much better when it eas still Kiplinger Tax Cut (Mac and PC). HRB kept saying had to wait until next update (to eFile) because IRS and last update it said I had to wait until next update (Mar 16) becsuse I had more than one 1095A (despite my best efforts, when I applied for premium credits mid-year and chose exact same policy, everyone treated as different policy and that generated another 1095A. The pre-credit policy 1095A had no values for SLCSP. Made even less than estimated when I applied for ctedit and needed additional credit sooner, so combined 1095A, labeled it corrected and submitted. Hit 21 days today and for last few days the message changed to refund date will be provided when available. I may have additional problem due MetLife sending a corrected 1099 JUST A FEW DAYS AGO, which my muck up the works. Was POd at HRB, but now Im glad I dont use TT.

[Cathy]

Also how often are the transcripts updated? Are they done every day or weekly??

[Cathy]

Ok I Posted this earlier on another thread, hoping someone can explain :)

Hi all, I am new here, my husband sent in his tax return on 02/02/15 they recieved it in Texas 02/03/15 ( had to send to texas cause of ITIN aplication process ), 03/02/15 we checked WMR and there was one bar saying they received it, then since 03/06/2015 all bars are missing, amount is missing, but tax topic 152 remains, I was finally able to get into transcripts and this is what it says

RETURN DUE DATE OR RETURN RECEIVED DATE (WHICHEVER IS LATER) Apr. 15, 2015
PROCESSING DATE Mar. 23, 2015
TRANSACTIONS
CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT
150 Tax return filed 20150905 03-23-2015

806 W-2 or 1099 withholding 04-15-2015

766 Credit to your account 04-15-2015

971 Notice issued 03-23-2015 $0.00

570 Additional account action pending 03-23-2015

Can someone please explain this to me?

Thanks Cathy

****UPDATE****
After reading some entries on here I decided to call a TA, I talked to someone who is very nice, and she sort of explained the situation to me, but she also said she seen a DDD for March 13 th, I asked her if there was Code 846 and she asked how do you know this, I said I have been reading up on it, she said that the transcript I was looking at is different from what she is looking at, so if anyone can please explain any of this to me please doooooo, lol.

Thanks
Cathy

[Sara]

We filed our taxes and injured spouse form on Jan 30, 2015. I called the IRS last week to get an update as to what was going on and they told me that I should be expecting my refund around April 20th. This is the 3rd year that we’ve filed injured spouse and it’s all the same debt (no new debt). It would be nice if they could process it faster since nothing has changed but they have certain steps that have to be taken with each form. :(

[dana]

[Philip]

It has been 42 days since I filed. I was instructed not to call until 62 have passed. My wmr has not updated. I wish you all luck and hope yours does not take as long as mine. I hit a letter telling me to just wait.

[Emily]

I filed and was accepted on 1/31 and it still shows being processed and with update with a deposit date. We have healthcare and got a wrong amounts on form 1095-A. Just got the updated one today. It states that we don’t have to do an ammended return because we filed and accepted before 2/24. But I spoke to a woman at the irs this mornings and said that our return was under review…there were no notes stating why….I am assuming it has to be this because we have nothing different on our return. She said I should be getting a letter within two weeks and it will say if I have to do anything further. I just really need my money. This is rediculous!

[Mike206]

800.829.0582 x352 – From dial to hangup – 27 minutes. Extremely helpful person. Confirmed that my return had been flagged for ID verification. Answered 3 questions and hold was lifted. Here’s hoping it doesn’t take the full 6-8 weeks.

Thanks again, Dana!

[Walter]

Confusedtaxyear – I would recommend that you call them. My bars went missing since 2/6 with that message and I have still to get my bars back. You most likely were pulled for ID verify which will only extend the refund process much longer. In my case by other a month. Once you call the IRS and verify your ID then the wait is another 6-8 weeks from that point. Good luck.

[bigd]

File 2 of Feb got the 4644c letter the 12 called 2weeks ago told me to wait 45 days called yesterday to follow up told me to wait til April 12 confused help me

[Mike206]

@Dana – THANKS! On hold now.

[dana]

@Mike sorry X 352

[Tangy]

MN is on the move. I filed 1/23, accepted 1/24. I got a date of 3/7 to be finished processing. 3/7 came and went. The date disappeared on the website but the message remained. Got a letter that i needed to go online and verify that i filed a return. Did that on Monday, 3/9. On 3/10 am, I have a direct deposit date of 3/23.

[Mike206]

@Dana – x325 does not exsist. Can you confirm?

[Megan]

I am not understanding this whole process. I filed and was accepted on 1/21/2015. It is now March 11. I have spoken to a rep 4 times and wait an hour every time to what seems to me a run around. First they told me my name (I got married last year) and was told I should receive a letter. My 21 days had passed and I was told to wait until the following week because they weren’t sure what the problem is. I called a week later same answer but now its being reviewed and no letter sent. Waited called again told that it had been in the review section but they were finished and should receive my refund shortly. Spoke to someone again today and now they said again that it was randomly selected for review that they didn’t receive it until a month after it was actually received, that I should receive a letter and to wait 45 days until april 30. I don’t understand what is going on and I never received a letter. I can load my transcripts which has a 570 and 971 with dates in April. ???? Please help.

[torrie]

Still have nothing. I am wondering with all the fraud going on this year if it will take the full ten weeks?

[d.gee]

Hi, I filed via mail on 2/11.

On 3/2 I got an WMR updated stating that the IRS received my refund. Throughout the week I was not able to see my transcript and no updates had been made.

On 3/9, I checked back and my bars went away and said my refund is still being processed. But I was able to see my transcripts. And see I had a transcript code of 20151002 –

On 3/11 (this morning around 5 AM) I was about to get a DDD of 3/13.

GOOD LUCK!

[Anonymous]

Good morning Bart. Ok at first they said i was pulled for a random review and could take 60 days. Im already at my 30 day mark. But then i was told I had to verify my identity. I did that this morning. Does that mean that my refund was transferred from being reviewed to verifying my identity? I got this when I verified my id online “Congratulations! You have successfully completed the Identity Verification Process. At this point, we should have all of the necessary information to complete return processing (as a reminder, this typically takes 6 weeks.) ” So im guessing im cleared. How long do you think normally before I get my refund.

[MParker]

Thanks Bart D.,
Can you give an estimate when this review should be up? I’ve had the 570 code since the end of the 2nd week of February. I’ve had the Cp05 letter for about 3 weeks now requesting no additional information. I filed January 21st and I have been processing 7 weeks today! Thanks again for all of your insight on our situations with this dreadful IRS!! I just feel like they are screwing over a lot of people this season and the reps NEVER have the answer and have to be rude..luckily these conversations are recorded because I would tell them a thing or two.

[dana]

You DO NOT have to wait 21 days to get information about your refund over the phone. I’ve been waiting for 16 days and a very nice lady looked everything up for me. She also stated that there are holds on refunds this year because of last year scams during tax season. They want people to verify who they are (MY CASE). 18008290582 x 325 I was on hold for 56 minutes. when you call just say we’ve been waiting for 4 weeks DO NOT give a date.

[Anonymous]

@ V I am exactly the same as you…filed the same day and all! I did file form 8962 with 1095A and I’ve called repeatedly and was told I was in the errors dept. and woke up today with my refund amount gone and tax topic 152. I hope this is good????

[TYTY27]

Hey Bart, I have another question. Okay so once I have successfully verified my identity, does this mean that I am all the way in the clear to receive my refund, Or Can i still be pulled for random review or Audit?

[Anonymous]

WMR has changed to “your tax refund is still being processed and tax topic 152 magically reappeared and the amount of my refund disappeared” Can someone tell me what this means? I filed 2/2 had one bar up until the 20th, then generic message that your tax refund is still being processed and a date will be given when available. I had aca credit as well and was told I was in the errors dept. Why did my amount disappear?

[Zach]

Hello. When does the clock start after a cp53a letter? The letter says 8-10 weeks for them to review. Bart has previously mentioned that it’s normally 2-4 weeks for them to complete their “investigation”.
Here’s my timeframe:

Original DD date of 2/4, split into two bank accounts
One deposit came fine on 2/4, bank rejected other one.
No updates on WMR since then with regards to date of check being sent.
Transcript shows 971 code, notice issued, with date of 2-23-15 (letter actually came a few days before that.)
Im so beyond frustrated with the IRS- this is total BS.
It’s now been 4 1/2 weeks since they’ve had the rejected deposit back, and no signs of progress at all.

I’m just looking for clarification on when the 2-4 week figure comes into play- is it from when they receive the funds back, or several weeks after when they actually put a notice date on transcripts?

[Insist]

E-filed and accepted 2/2. I submitted it WITH the non-obligated/innocent spouse form (student loan adjustment for the non-working spouse while working spouse had all the income and credits) and was shown a DD refund date of 3/19/2015.

[Amber]

Got my money today!!! Thanks for your help!!!!!

[Anonymous]

We are still waiting. We did get a call from our TA last Friday. She said she had requested it be released and that the IRS had 5 days to do so. So that was last week, and just going by her “word” there should be a change by Thursday or Friday. If we don’t see something by then we are to contact her or she will call us, again. This is getting really old, as I have not seen ANY change in the transcripts since February 5!

[Joe]

Update #2 – WMR has been updated with a DDD of on or before 3/13/2015.

[LMC]

Like most of you, I am stuck with the 570 code. I efiled thru turbotax on 1/29 and included the IS form. This is my 6th year having to file the IS form but my 1st year efiling it. With mailing it in, it always took 5 weeks to get a DD. 5 weeks has come and gone and I don’t think I will ever efile it again. I don’t understand the order in which the IRS processes these forms as others who filed after me have already received their refund.

[Mayyah]

Ok so I filed 1/30 received state and went towards my student loan. On February 10th I received my 4464C letter. Yesterday marks 30 days since I got the letter and they said I should have it within 60 days of the letter. Does anyone know what the hold up. I’ve tried calling the irs they said they don’t need anything from me. I’m just confused as to what the hold up is I have a very basic return. I’m just so frustrated!! Any opinions are welcomed

[Bren]

Ole boring a$$ Wi is taking 4ever to release the freaking state refunds. I filed on 1/29 and still nada! No letter, yet a you tube video. What the h:e…double hockey sticks is going on???? I want my measly refund. Thank God 2014 was my last year having to deal with WI. I won’t have to file in that state ever again! I have called and I was told i SHOULD see something in a couple of weeks SIGH!!###&*(^//#!! $@

[nicole]

Hi Bart, I filed and was accepted 3/2 with turbotax. Wmr still only says within 21 days. Tried ordering transcripts and was unable to view online, but was able to order only account transcripts. Should I be concerned that there is no updates yet?

[V]

I filed feb 2nd and was accepted same day. On my 19th day my bars disappeared which was on feb 20th on feb 24 I got a letter to fax form 8962 with my 1095A. I fax it same day but late. Today March 10 wmr website shows same msg refund still processing and date will be provided when available. But topic 152 reappeared and amount is gone. I’m guessing cause of an adjustment..yesterday amount was showing and I had no topic. By what I’ve been reading usually this means I might get a ddd soon and my return is prob done processing. I will have an update soon. I hope. Ooh. And no transcript yet.

[Anonymous]

We are still waiting for our refund. Put in for DD but for some reason it got mailed instead. Site says mailed 2/27. We are in Oregon. Has anyone else already received their refund on this mail date? Any ideas on when it would be expected.

Thank you!!

[Sammy123]

Please explain what this set of numbers mean

[James]

Look on your Account transcript under Explanation of Transaction – Tax return filed. This series of Numbers is Very important…I just found out how to decipher.

30221-412-11101-5

[Michael]

I can’t. I used a retail copy of turbo tax which I never registered.

[andrew]

Go back to the site you did your taxes on and download them.

[Tonya]

I filed my taxes on jan. 20 and it was accepted but i still havent received my taxes yet. I called the 800 number and the lady asked me to verify my social, my address, the amount due and after giving her all this info she said my taxes are still being looked at and i should give it more time. This is the first time this has ever happened to me

[Barbara]

Are there any success storie? , Please!!! This is the first time I have experienced this. Just verified my ID online yesterday, of course I still do not have any bars; only still processing.

Don’t want to except that it could be another 6 weeks when is usually only takes me 6 days with turbo tax. I filed Jan 31, 2015.

[Michael]

I received that letter today wanting more info before they start processing my return. I noticed the letter said I needed to have my most recent tax return available. But I do not have access to it. I lost the hard drive on my computer a couple days ago which had all my prior year returns. I tried going through the idverify website but it wouldn’t verify me because I didn’t know my AGI. I can view my previous years transcripts except for 2014.

Does anyone know how I can go about getting a copy of my 2014 return even though there are no transcripts for it? I don’t want to call that idverify number without having what I need. Is there anything else I should be aware of or need to know when I call? Thanks for any help you can provide.

[Tamara]

I’m in Kansas filed on 2/19 it was excepted within a day but its like the tenth now and it just say a claim has been received but has not yet been processed ? Anyone else have this problem? I usually have no prob.

[jen]

I got the 5071C letter today. I’m not surprised, as I’d heard that people eligible for Education Credit tend to get pulled. Still, it’s a pain. For those who need the phone number, it’s 800-830-5084, the web site is idverify.irs.gov. I didn’t call the number, just did the web form. The message I got online is that I was successful and to expect my refund to take another 6 weeks.

[Dmars]

Fax# 855-262-0485

I filed on the 9th and been calling every day since 21 days after I filed and been getting the run around to wait for the letter. Today I called and a lady said the letter 12C states for me to fax in the form to the above fax. Why couldn’t someone else tell me that days ago. Now I guess its back to waiting. Lord Jesus please touch their system and workers to move faster and process what is needed and forgive me for my error in not knowing I was suppose to file this form, I need my money asap. Amen!

[MattR]

Do you know if/when I should expect correspondence or a deposit on my refund? I did owe from 2012, but far less than I was expected to get back. Do you have any insight as to what the preceding codes are saying?

[Sheila]

Can anyone tell me the fax number? I have not received my letter yet and don’t wanna wait if I do not have to. Thanks!

[koko]

I am waiting on a letter also, and they said it will be the end of the month for me as well. I had a math error, and they are adjusting my refund…Sucks

[miss a]

[carmon]

Has anyone actually received a return from AL yet? If so how long did it take?

[Crystal]
