Mine says submitted with 1/22/24 under it then pending with 1/18/24 under the next dot so it seems backwards

[Marcy]

Filed 1/17
Accepted 1/17

WMR down so now I wait

[Tex]

You filed today and already accepted?

[LolaR]

Filed 1/18 TT
Accepted- still pending
ACTC, no EIC

[JenN]

I can’t seem to find it anywhere – do we know when NYS starts accepting efiled returns?

[Max]

They only do small batches. Haven’t seen a pattern in which days filed that they pulled returns for testing.

[Jessica]

Filed 1/4 simple return no loan and no credits haven’t gotten into hub is there anyone else. Feel 1/4 was skipped.

[Kristen R]

I also already have one bar on WMR….surprising since I was just accepted a couple of hours ago.

[LolaR]

Filed today, 1/18. My TT just says “pending” “est acceptance end of January”

[Kristen R]

@ Sam I filed with TurboTax and was accepted today.

[IGMR Admin]

Welcome!

[IGMR Admin]

We are guessing that those with weekly update accounts may see acceptances in test batches tomorrow.

[Kristen R]

I filed on 1/16 and was accepted today 1/18 – simple return (W2 Only). Filed using TurboTax – and now we wait!

[Tex]

I know that TT app/website can be a little off sometimes. I finished my taxes at 1:00 AM and it says pending 1/8 but “submitted” 1/22. Assuming that it will be thrown into a test batch next Monday?

[naughtyrockets]

Thank you, @jemar707.

[Songbird88]

I’m nervous as well!! Something was different about the filling process this year and I was only able to file my federal 1/17/24 but not my California state. California won’t populate any info. Filled on TurboTax. Hopefully we get an acceptance notification soon!

[jemar707]

It will say that until your return is accepted which will officially start on 1/29. The acceptances that are happening now are randomly selected for small test batches before the season starts.

[naughtyrockets]

I filed on the 12th but there’s been no acceptance yet. When I do WMR, it says my information entered is incorrect but it’s not. Am I just being impatient?

[Lovely_Missive]

I had posted yesterday and wanted to update that today IRS2Go app shows as received. Thank you to everyone helping to explain things.

[MsChrys]

Hey y’all hey I think this may help. I logged into my irs account and this message is at the top.

Limited account services due to planned maintenance
Payments made Dec. 26, 2023 – Jan. 19, 2024 will process normally but may take longer to show as “Processed”. Updated balances and payment activity will be available the week of Jan. 21, 2024.

[Mari808]

Filed 1/16
Accepted 1/16
Got the 1 month message today

[Sam]

@Lovely_Missive – my WMR says that too but I’ve not yet been accepted. Maybe I’m a weekly too and that’s why. Crossing my fingers there’s no problem.

[jemar707]

Welcome back, everyone! Testing will go on through next week.

Here is our calendar.

[ImpatientlyWaiting]

Jared I saw a few on the IGMR Facebook page. They’ll keep accepting and loading returns into the system so acceptance can still happen before the 29th.

[Amerie]

The IRS is accepting refunds later i each year pretty soon it’s going to be the middle of February before they accept them

[MoCarr2118]

@Lovely_Missive – Mine was also accepted yesterday on the 16th and my WMR says the same thing as yours. I think it’s because I am a weekly05 and probably won’t get an update on WMR until later, like this weekend.

[Lovely_Missive]

Filed with TT on the 11th and IRS accepted my return yesterday on Jan 16th. The IRS2Go app however says “Information does not match. Please reenter your information.” But I know it is correct. Anyone else with this?

[Sam]

Anyone use TT and get accepted?

[Jared]

Was accepted today

[Monique L]

I filed with FreeTaxUSA this time on January 11, 2024. I just received an email saying my Federal return was accepted on January 16, 2024 145pm (pst).

[Mari808]

And the waiting games begin…

[ItsCo]

I e-filed with turbo tax on Jan 5 (successfully transmitted). I’m EITC and just got an email saying the IRS has accepted my return. So I’m probably in a test batch but they’ll hold my refund until mid to late feb like everyone else anyway.

[Chace1]

Can you explain the Jan 18th date as opposed to Jan 29th?

[Natasha]

Update from my op- I received my 2 remaining pins for my dependents about 3-4 days later. I called they all should be in the mail by the 16th of January. I was able to retrieve mine on the portal as previous.

[ImpatientlyWaiting]

No. You don’t. Just proceed the way it is. The company I worked 20 years for always took out too much and I got that same message every year. I just went on without correcting it. It just means you paid in more than you should have but jt’ll reflect on your yearly SSA statement. No biggie.

[IGMR Admin]

Looks like they are coming out slow this year. Most people have said they have been able to get them online.

I read that if you have gotten it on the portal in the past they won’t mail it to you anymore and you must access on their portal.

[Bjazi023]

Haven’t received mine

[Tizz44]

It looks like acceptance date is 1/18 but processing is 1/29. Does anyone know of preparers that offer RALs prior to acceptance?

[nicole]

Fastest Ways to talk to a Human at the IRS

This is one of the fastest ways to talk to a human at the IRS. Here are the detailed steps to speak to HUMAN at the IRS:

1. Dial the official IRS refund status number (800) 829-1040
2. Press Option #1
3. Press Option #2
4. Ignore whatever they say and then press 000000
5. Listen to automated message and just ignore whatever they say
6. Stay on phone and you will be put through to someone

Another way that was verified to work on 1/8/2024

Dial (800) 829-1040
Press Option #1 for English
Ignore everything they are saying.
Press 3 Ignore everything they are saying.
Press 2 They will say you are being transferred to the business tax line. That’s ok, they will still talk to you about your personal taxes. Ignore everything they are saying. Press 3

Other phone numbers for the IRS, Treasury and Tax Preparers can be found on our contacts page: https://igotmyrefund.com/talk-to-human-at-irs/

Old Way That No Longer Work… but these change throughout the year.

1. Dial (800) 829-0582
2. DO NOT select Option #1 for English.
3. Wait until the automated voice finishes talking.
4. When asked, enter extension 652
5. Listen to the automated message
5. Make yourself a drink and sit on hold.

[Nimo37]

Has anyone got there IP Pin for 2024?

[jemar707]

There usually are more people around the closer it gets to when the IRS officially begins accepting tax returns. That date hasn’t been announced yet but we think it be 1/22

[Debe]

When is the live tax forum starting

[Heidi]

When entering my W2 I got the message your employer held too much social security tax from your wages and get a new W-2. My question is do I have to do that? What if I don’t care about the extra $80 held from my social security? Can I just file it the way it is or do I have to get it corrected W2??

[MissR08]

January 18th!

[MelMel]

Hi all! Does anyone know when IRS will begin accepting returns for the 2023 tax year?

[IGMR Admin]

Our new season forum is open, join us there!

https://igotmyrefund.com/forums/forum/general-discussion/2024-tax-season/

[Cocobunny80]

I filed for my erc back in Apr, I have yet to receive any funds. I have called the business line for the IRS and you will talk to front end agents who gives different answers of the status. The last agent I spoke to about two wks ago advise me that it’s a sign to an agent but it’s just on hold. I asked her what does that mean on a hold? The agent advised me that they have paused processing erc’s until Dec and for me to try back in 30 days which would be Nov.

[JGWENTWORTH]

My DD date is for 10/12 my funds have not yet been deposited but I did choose the option to pay the fees from my refund I filed using HNR BLOCK how will it take them to release my funds from their 3rd party bank??

[PercyHolmes]

Two weeks ago, I submitted my employee retention credit application. I truly need the money because my business is having trouble.

[SharonChaidez]

same

[Frank]

Well, it’s September 5, 2023 & I still have not received by GA 2023 State Income Tax refund. The DOR system shows a negative balance (in green), but all the system says is that it’s being processed & it takes 12 weeks & to call the 800 number, which says the same thing. Is anyone else still having these problems?

[NicoleP]

Someone please help! There is an 826 code on my transcript for the amount of my full refund. I filed injures spouse electronically with my return in February.

[Buggoe]

There was no message saying my refund was adjusted, just when to expect it to be deposited by.

Thanks.

[Rose]

How soon before i get the 4th bar? My return says refund processing since the 23rd May.

[Damien E Johnson]

I have a 5071C letter and I need to verify my ID but when I sign into ID.me I get a couldn’t verify your identity on the IRS site … and I can’t get a live person @ the IRS on the phone

[Nj question]

What is a Tax advocate? How to contact them? I got the NHW notice sent the document but never heard anything back except confirmation. Any similar cases here?

[Damien E Johnson]

I filed in January and had to verify Id
I have as of date 7-17

Is that deposit date

[NicoleP]

Who is over this thread? My replies aren’t getting approved.

[Arreyis]

Still nothing. IRS agents claim 6/17 is eleven weeks and to call again if it’s not done by 6/19. Ugh! This year has been the most annoying.

[GA]

Just says processing. Georgia says no verification needed. I spoke with a representative a couple of weeks ago and said all looks good. The representative couldn’t do anything else to move it along. I keep wondering if 12 weeks is the magic time, then all moves to completion. This is definitely frustrating especially since this was electronic filing with direct deposit.

[WaitingGA2023]

TJ – What are they telling you? Are you still Green Zero ? I forgot if you were expecting a Direct Deposit or a Check. Check the history area and see if something happened after May 9th, that would have affected you. Did you get a letter requesting verification?

[GA]

E-filed on April 5th, GA refund says received and processing. Hoping I don’t have to wait the entire 12 weeks.

[Arreyis]

I’ve been sitting on as of 4/24 for a while. I called the identity protection hotline at the beginning of May cause my income transcripts said to, they informed me I was sent a cp01e last year and that because someone again tried to use my SSN to file my return was held up. Called again a week or so ago and she just said the IS form was holding us up now. Still no updates to any of my transcripts or wmr. We’ll see.

[TJ]

Nothing yet….still waiting
