Submitted 1/17 with Tax slayer, accepted by IRS at 10 am 1/20

[Rebecca]

Was just wondering if anyone who used freetaxusa had gotten any kind of update yet? Mines been submitted since the 15th but nothing as far as accepted or rejected and can’t file my state through them until an update is done

[Dee]

I filed with TA 1/17. Accepted about a half hour ago. Good Luck!

[Rtbartonie]

Used taxslayer filed on the Jan 18 th accepted about ten mins ago. I used TT for several years before but after the glitch last year and being in that 1121 code for early filers I was done with TT. Taxslayer no problems so far. Actually a happy for now.

[Steph]

Has anyone from the test batch received a dd day yet? I got my acceptance on 1/12/15.

[Thecameron8]

Filed in 1/8 with TT
Accepted 1/12 with 1 bar
Bar went away on 1/15 and got “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.”

[Anonymous]

I filed on 1/8 with turbotax they sent it to the IRS on 1/12 never accepted, still pending. I contacted turbotax customer service and she was absolutely no help.I refiled with taxact and was accepted today. I think the turbotax issue is them putting in that extra form that is not suppose to be in there.

[Emily]

I filed with HR block on the 17th and it’s still not accepted

[Michelle]

My return was accepted today, a few minutes ago….

[Nicole]

We filed through Taxslayer on the 12th and received the email about an hour ago that they were accepted.

Stillborn child. You cannot claim an exemption for a stillborn child.
From the IRS Site and PUB 501 for dependency

[MaryB]

I am so sorry to hear of your loss!

If your child was stillborn, you can not claim him/her as a dependent. Had s/he lived, even for a short time, you could have. But unfortunately, that is not the case if the child was stillborn.

You can choose to itemize and deduct eligible expenses (such as medical). However, most people do not have enough deductions when itemizing to be worth more than the standard deductions, thus it likely will not be beneficial for you to itemize but definitely consult someone for educated input.

[Yaminah]

Glad to see I’m not the only one. I filed with TT and the whole glitch fiasco is going on. I caked and they said if anything it will go out the 22nd but the IRS can take up to 48 hours to process so it would still be in in time to receive the 1/5 ddd. Hopefully this is accurate.

[Mamaof6]

I efiled on 1/13 with TA. Nothing. Got a rejection TODAY from IRS; PIN # incorrect. Resubmitted. Nothing yet. Still waiting.

[MommaOF4]

Still waiting… Files with TA on 1/19… Still waiting on acceptance….

[Yaminah]

Has anyone that was not accepted into a test batch gotten accepted today?

[Yaminah]

This is where we can update each other on the progress of our returns since the opening of the IRS.

[LaToia]

Yes you can. I was able to carry my son born 2 months early and passed away 15 mins after birth. I do taxes.

[chyna]

I did mine on the 11th and was accepted on the 12th now I have one orange line

[Anonymous]

I was told to resubmit my return on 1/22 and they promised to refund my fees I paid. This conversation took place 1/17 with Turbo Tax. I just received my refund of the fees I paid yesterday. It’s just a waiting game. I wasn’t trying to get accepted early but inquired with them due to my file date. Glad I did.

[Sentoia]

I filed with taxact on 1/12 still not accepted
Filed my state on 1/17 still not accepted
When will they start accepting and is there a good chance I’ll get accepted today I’m usually one of the ones who gets accepted early

[Brian]

Correct. You must enter the exact refund amount. Do not enter the amount after fees are taken out by H&R Block or wherever you filed.

[kristen]

There is a timeline floating around apparently from the IRS website I believe

[NYCteachermom]

What I read on the IGMR facebook page

TurboTax I can’t apologize enough for any
confusion to this point. Our goal has
always been and will always be to make all
aspects of filing taxes as simple and easy
as possible.
I will do my best to be as clear as possible.
We identified an issue that affected some
returns. These returns were only the
following: 1040a claiming the Earned
Income Credit with two dependents or
more. Not those pieces independently, but
that specific situation only
The issue has resulted in many of these
specific returns being held in a pending
status until the update to correct them has
been deployed. This update is in the
process of being deployed and any
affected filers will be able to re-transmit
once completed on January 22nd
f you meet the situation described above
and your return is still pending, our agents
are more than happy to look into your
transmission record to verify the status of
your return via private message. We will
also do all that we can to make your
experience as spectacular as possible.

We’re is that rumor started. Mine was accepted on the 12th still no ddd

[Anonymous]

@Ashea0515 Is there somewhere I can see if my state will be offset

[kristen]

I’m not sure how true this is but apparently anyone accepted by 11am on the 21st should be getting their did on Monday the 26th.

[Tom]

@Keri

I’ve been in the same situation the past couple of years. Generally, your entire refund will initially be offset, then the injured spouse is processed, then they refund a part of it. Any straight income tax refund is yours, and a portion of any credits goes to you (EITC, Child Tax Credit). The other part of the credits goes towards the old loans.

Aaaand, on my end, still nothing from /last/ year’s taxes. Advocate didn’t return my call last week, so time for an angry call to her supervisor.

[Hopeful]

I filed today at 12:35 am crossing my fjngers..♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧

[Ashleyb]

First , I’m deeply sorry and definitely understand your pain. I lost my daughter at 5 months , 2 and a half years ago and I was able to claim her on my taxes. When you file it ask if the person passed away that year. Sorry if it’s too personal but has the child recieved a ssn ? That makes the question easier to answer.

[Kristi h]

I heard it takes roughly 2 to 3 months to process injured spouse. However I’ve never had to file this way, so that is just speculation. Good luck!

[Kristi h]

Okay so you say by January 28 of this year? If so you may squeak by this year without an offset. They have to give the filer time to agree or disagree.

So, if that is the case, like I said this year you should be lucky, but if you do not pay it or make arrangements to pay and pay it out before next year, it will be offset then, with penalties and interest added

[keri]

I hope so. How long is the usual wait time efiling. 11 weeks?

[Kristi h]

Am I making it up or in years past, do I remember tax topic 152 being a good thing? If memory serves, when tax topic 152 shows up, it means the processing is almost complete, and on the next update you may receive a direct deposit date. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but that’s how I remember it.

[Kristi h]

If it is determined that all of the refund that would be given is yours, then after a little bit of a wait for them reviewing it, you should get all of your refund in full.

[Keri]

I’m gonna be filing injured spouse this year. It’s on my husband’s student loans. We got payments set up but they still want to take it out of my refund. My husband didn’t work any last year so all money was, brought home by me. Does anyone know how much they’ll still take?

[Kristi h]

If your refund is over 10,000, it is best to do as one said and split your refund between two accounts. I personally use net spend and adore their service, but $10,000 is their limit, and you have to make sure if you’re filing jointly that your spouse is also on the account by faxing that information.

[Kristi h]

It’s tricky. If you file with your last paystub, yes the numbers can be different. Especially for monthly or biweekly workers, because some of their pay at the start of the year, is for work performed in the year before. Worst case scenario is the IRS will review it later on in the year, and if it causes you to owe money back you will.

[Kristi h]

H and R block has a smaller batch of test batches. Most often, when you filed with H&R Block, you are accepted on opening day if you file early, not before. It’s very rare with them.

[Kristi h]

Let me clarify that. It did not specifically say I had any tax debt. It said I had no nontax debt, but items are posted daily. In the past if you had a debt it would say your refund has been or will be offset, Which it did not say.

[Kristi h]

Okay, I always check every year to see if we have an offset on our Social Security numbers. I had 2 offsets in the past 10 years, so I always check because the last one was not expected.

So, the new language says as of today, there are no non tax debts for your Social Security number.

So the new language throws me off.

If I had any sort of offset, it would be taxes. But the hotline does not say I have any tax debt and for certain, no non tax debt.

Should I take this to mean that we are okay this year, provided nothing shows up in the next few weeks?

[Kristi h]

With it being a holiday, I doubt it. The way I see it, be glad if we get accepted on opening day.

[Kristi h]

Casey I just reread what you wrote. If you are listed on the federal treasury offset program hotline as having A debt, they are going to take it out of your federal.

[Kristi h]

Casey, I’ve had that type of offset before. At first they will just deducted out of your state tax refund. But if the debt is larger than your tax refund, what will ultimately happen is they will offset your federal to cover what they haven’t been able to collect. If that were to ever happen,they simply take what they have to offset, and the rest is forwarded to you, with no delay. It’s not like in years past where you had to wait several weeks beyond

[~Sadie LAdy~]

fiancee got rejected w/ TA on 13th for incorrect ssn for dependent, refiled same day still waiting to be accepted.

[Kristi h]

Oh, and a case anyone’s wondering, I’m not impatient. I filed with tax act, because I heard that TurboTax was having a glitch, and I wanted to avoid that if I was one of those in the glitch.

[Kristi h]

I truly hope all of you early acceptance folks to get refunds quicker than they expect. I’m still in pending status with TurboTax so I also filed through TaxACT. It will just be a matter of which return gets there first, then the other one will reject.

Fortunately this year, I can wait on my refund, this is the first year that I’ve ever had all the documents ready before tax season started.

[Kristi h]

For example, I’ve had five miscarriages. But I was never allowed to claim the child as a dependent, because the children were not born and living.

[Kristi h]

First off I’m extremely sorry for your loss. Unfortunately in terms of taxes, children are only counted as a deduction if they are living by December 31 of that tax year. You may be able to itemize the sales tax of the funeral, but as for being able to get any sort of earned income credit, You would not be able to.

[tarasue]

I also filed on 1/9/2015 using TT and got a text saying accepted on 1/12/2015. Had the graphic bar on WMR up until the 14th or 15th and now it also just say’s Your refund is still being processed and a refund date will be provided when available. Hoping but the end of the week since the 20th is tomorrow!!!

[Anonymous]

Filed tax act 1/16, accepted 1/16 per email from tax act. Checked WMR as soon as I read email (1/16). return accepted, one orange bar with my refund amount, and tax topic 152. I also reviewed some generic email from tax act about irs test batch and that just because I’m part of test batch my money will still not come until after 1/20 when official processing begins. Hoh, 3 children eic, schedule c. The only time I could not see all the above info of WMR was during their shut down. Btw, still can’t order transcripts, and in the past once I could order transcripts my return was done processing and ddd was given shortly after. Would appreciate any updates from any tax act filers after the official opening tomorrow. Good night all. Maybe we will wake up to ddd’s! Hey a girl can dream….

[Tamara]

Filed 1/13/2015 accepted same day. Went through TurboTax had no fees so I don’t have to go through SBBT. I have the Netspend Premier card and recieved my Missouri refund today 1/19/2015. No updates on federal return yet.

[Penelope]

Is there a special refund or extra money for a person that was pregnant or had a baby full term that didn’t make it (stillborn) we still had hospital and funeral bills

[Erika]

Anyone know if there is an update tonight before processing opens tomorrow? I efiled today with taxact since TT screwed me. Still need accepted.

[disneymanda]

really I can’t even fault auto correct this time as I was typing on my computer.

I meant *amount* not about

[disneymanda]

HR Block does participate in early checks like other companies like Turbo Tax. I have used them before and they accepted mine early before. I think it is just a smaller about of test batches.

[Anonymous]

Has anyone here used Ur DG Money Network pay card for your tax refund ?
I have called .MN and ask if I could use it twice . One rep said I couldnt and another rep said i could. I can load money onto the card purchasing a reload .
I have a netspend card on the way . It’s just that my DG .MN card has a lot less fees. Haven’t filed yet btw.

[Anonymous]

How are those of you TT users having to refile 1-22 finding out they have to refile 1-22?

I’ve been pending on TT since 1/15 but I didn’t think anything of it because the season doesn’t officially open until tomorrow.

Are you getting an email or what?

[Anonymous]

Wishing all of us the best of luck. This I the first time I’ve had this happen so I was freaking out. When I called it says the same thing. Trying think only positive thoughts!!!

[kristen]

Does anyone know what time wmr site updates

[waitinonmymone937]

I filed on the 17th and I’m still pending…

[topsy]

Filed on the 8 accepted on the 12th
Filed with turbo tax, in the early batch one bar

The countdown begins(/•ิ_•ิ)/

[NCMomOf3+1]

My bar and refund amount went missing on 1/15/15. My return was accepted on 1/13/14 with TaxAct. I had this exact same thing happen last year and it came back up a few days later with a DDD and my approved bar showing refund amount. I’m hoping we all have that same outcome with no issues.

[Thecameron8]

mine has been barless with no amount since the day after I filed. Also have the 152. Hopefully tomorrow something will change.

[Kim]

Hi all… Filed TT 1/15.. Accepted 1/16… We’ll see what happens next. Good luck every one.

[Anonymous]

Me too Kristen. Wish we had some type of clue what it means. Praying its good!!!

[kristen]

I have no idea but mine has been like that for days without change and its truly driving me insane. I hope it changes soon

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have an insight as to what is going on with us missing our bars and amounts but says still processing and code 152???

[Danielle]

I filed my Oregon taxes on 1/16 and was accepted the same day, I haven’t heard anything more has anyone else?

[jakeinga]

first post this year, have been patient so far, and will continue to be.

So far it looks like nothing of any importance has happened yet, just the early filers getting antsy. Myself, I filed with TT yesterday evening, took the 10% Amazon offer on part of my refund, and expect a refund around 2/6. Haven’t been accepted, but didn’t expect to be yet, they don’t officially open until tomorrow. It will come soon enough, and a few extra days will give me more time to figure out how to spend it (yeah, right, I have it spent twice over already).

Good luck and much patience to those who need it bad.

[pat m]

ms bossy when did you check and file. I filed 2 weeks ago and still do not have anything

[MrsBossy]
