          After being gone for nearly two months, my bars came back on 3/18. But only to “return received”. Wording changed from “Your tax return is still being processed. a refund date will be provided…” to ” We have received your tax return and it is being processed” on 3/9.

          Haven’t found much on this happening to anyone else. Any ideas???

            MAJOR UPDATE!!!!!! Filed on the 13th accepted 13th called the IRS the 19th was told that my return was unpostable and that it would have to be manually processed…… was told it could take 6 to 9 weeks but the IRS agent did let me order my transcript ……last Wednesday my bars disappeared and I questioned that because…. I thought maybe that means they have my return and they are actually working on i…….t woke up this morning I have a direct deposit date of March 9th the process is finally over….. well it won’t be over until I get the money in my account

              Accepted 2/1
              Received 5071c 2/18
              Id verified that same day onine it said 6-9 more weeks
              Called 2/25 to verify my ID verification went through
              It didn’t
              The Lady fixed it but informed me that it would take
              9 weeks.
              I asked her if that was just what they told people, however she said it would 100% take that long because I was pulled out of the pool and I had to be re-inserted.

              So 1 we are simple 1040ez no issues w/ Healthcare and no dependents or deductions. But since their system is all effed up I now have to wait til May to get my return. I can’t wait until the IRS is abolished. Extortionist criminals!!!!!!

                CALL!!! If you can order your transcripts and still do not have an update CALL!!! I have been able to order my transcripts since friday 2/25. After not having a DDD I called (my 21 days are up tomorrow 3/2) I spoke with an agent who stated that there was an error with a portion of my return and that they corrected it. They are sending me a letter i should receive no later than 03/14. They stated there is nothing for me to do. The system has placed a 7 day hold onto my account and it will be processed once that 7 day period is up. They projected that i will have a DDD by 03/9

                  FINALLY! Filed 1/30, bars disappeared, called 2/22 after 21 days and was directed to ID verify. Verified over the phone same day. Called to check Thursday, was told he didn’t see any direct deposit date for me but that it looked like the review was closed and instructed to wait 6-9 weeks.
                  Woke up this morning to check and FINALLY got DDD of 3/2!! First year I’ve ever gotten held up this long, I got my state back this week which never ever comes in before my federal.

                    DDD – ???

                    I’m still waiting myself. Called an irs agent on Friday of this week. She said there was no other holds on my refund, just processing and that I need to wait 6 more weeks for more processing. If I don’t hear anything at the beginning of April, she said to call back.

                      accepted honestly who knows 2/3-2/8?!?
                      Still being processed, tt152. Called 2/25 did not need to verify.

                      I really think I will be in the next update…all I can do is remain positive. Hopping for a ddd next week 3/4.

                          Well I was finally able to order my transcripts yesterday and was hoping to see a DDD this morning. I guess I am one of the unlucky few who still do not have a DDD. Let hope something changes by Wednesday when my 21 days are up…. I will continue to keep everyone posted.

                            Called IRS (21st day) 2/17 – Had unpostable and needed to verify id
                            Verified id with rep 2/17
                            Able to order return transcripts 2/19
                            Got letter 5071C dated Feb. 18 in the mail 2/22 — verified online (2nd time verifying)
                            Called IRS “1040” number, rep said still processing, no problems 2/22
                            No update to bars on 2/24
                            Called Tax Payer Advocate 2/25 (someone will be in contact by Tuesday)
                            Still no update as of 2/27

                            What the heck is going on? I’m assuming I’m having problems because I claimed single with no dependents this year with unemployment and retirement cash-out plus school credit (which I DID go to school and received 1098). For the past 20 years I’ve always claimed HOH with two then three dependents and NEVER had an issue. Seems like the less you get back, the harder time they give you. I had to problems getting back over $10K a year, but now I’m just under $1,200, seems like they don’t wan to let go.

                              I filed through a Professional tax agency. My bars on WMR went missing on Feb 16th 2016 called ad visited IRS, I was told they didn’t see anything on file and i updated my address. Feb 24th i was able to order my account transcript but not my return transcript. Then yesterday morning i was finally able to update my return transcript Feb 26th, 2016. Woke up this morning Feb 27,2016 with still no update or bars on WMR. I filed on Feb 4th IRS said they received it on Feb 8th, 2016. Can anyone help or give me a little info on my situation?
                              I still have tax topic 152 on WMR. How will I know when the tax professional get my return?

                                I filled through Turbo Tax on 2/1 and accepted the same day. On 2/6 I lost my bars and tt 152 but I was able to order my account transcript. 2/15 I called the IRS and was told that I needed to wait until after 21 days to call back. 2/17 I received a letter saying that my account transcript could not be sent until verified my id. 2/22 I called the IRS and was told my return was under review in order to make sure that I was the right person. He asked if I claimed any dependents, which I did, and to verify their names and DOB’s. Then he asked me to verify my refund amount and told me that everything was ok with my return and that he didn’t see any letters being sent out. I was told to keep checking wmr and that my return should be done processing in 10-14 days. 2/24 wmr changed from “your refund is still processing and a refund date will be given once available” to “we received your return and it is still being processed”, I can’t remember the exact words. 2/26 I was able to order my account return transcript. 2/27 wmr bars back showing approved with a DDD of 3/2!!!!!

                                  Called 2/22 spoke with IRS, no holds, no flags.. Etc asked about why taking so long and she said I should have my DD by next week. She also informed me that WMR has not been updating accurately this year and many ppl are receiving DD without any updates at all. I also asked about an advocate but she said for me it wasn’t necessary.

                                                                  Ordered both transcripts on 2/19/16.
                                                                  Still no DDD

                                                                  Called IRS and was told my refund was on “hold” and should receive a letter within 30 days starting from Feb. 1st. I asked rep what was the reason it’s being held and she stated she couldn’t see the reason why but that the letter would provide further instructions.
                                                                  I decided to call the verify ID line just in case that was the problem and the woman said she saw no problem with my return and that I didn’t need to be verified since my return had already been processed! From the pattern I’ve been seeing, it looks like it’s a 2 week wait between being able to order transcripts and/or bars disappearing until receiving a DDD. What I do know for sure is that the IRS is extremely backed up and the reps say whatever it is that comes to mind in order to get you off the phone. It’s been 28 days since I’ve filed and no one can identify what the problem is other than that it’s being “held”. Hopefully, I am part of Saturday’s big update. Good luck guys.

                                                                    Thank you for that advice. I looked again this morning, still no update and I still cannot order either transcript for this year. I called and spoke with a very nice polite agent. I informed her that my “Tax preparer informed me I had to call in for an ID Verification” She spent a good 15-20 mins reviewing my account and informed me that there was no verification that needed to be done and that all of my information was in normal processing and appeared to be in order. She also informed me that when the bars disappear, it means that your return is currently being processed. All returns are different and can take a little more time than others to go through the process. I was then informed that i should see an update in the very near future, however i should call back if i do not see any update by the 21st day. For me that would be March 2nd. This help put me at ease a little. I just have to learn to be a little more patient.

No letters, no need to do anything or ID verify (did it anyway, no need) 3. There is an error, we fixed it, money will be released in a week (I knew of a possible error, but couldn’t figure it out) 4. We fixed the error, we will send you a letter MARCH 9, and if you don’t respond questioning the error, we will release your funds MARCH 14!!! 5. Well yes, your money was to be released already, but anything can happen while processing, and it will be released MARCH 14!!! ( so wait….if anything can happen, what happens when that date comes and goes??? You hold it AGAIN????) I got attitude from Mrs. Lee at the IRS, and basically told, I don’t work there, so I will never understand it.

                                                                      Called the tax advocate, told that I don’t qualify, because I’m not homeless…yet! Call back when I’m homeless. BEYOND FRUSTRATED!!!! I should not have to be in dire straights to get MY MONEY back. No EIC, no offsets and no education credits. Same health insurance I’ve had for 10 years.

                                                                      Does ANYONE have any ideas or advice???

So now im just waiting! Have anyone had this problem and gotten their money back if so how long did it take?

                                                                          @Angie what if they tell you there was a processing error? That’s what the rep told me and that it would be 6-8 weeks. That was on 2/13. As of today still no bars. I’m in hold with the Tax Advocate now. Do you think I’ll see movement Friday? No letters have came yet.

                                                                        • #4143455

One reason is that you are being manually reviewed, there is always going to be something additional needed. It can be because you used a temp IP pin, need to ID verify, or need additional info such as health info or something else. Notices are being sent out, but not until towards the end of the 21 days or after. If you bars disappear….CALL IN!!! Tell them a white lie like your preparer told you that you needed to ID verify. They will be forced to take a look and verify with you. They will tell you either you have to wait 6-8 weeks or 9 weeks. That is not true. It will be approved within a few days. I have followed this site and seen all the stories. I tested with my self and THREE other clients. Everyone got approved in 2-3 days MAX. Bars back, money on the way for deposit tomorrow. Good luck guys!

No update for 21 days on WMR just stayed on the first bar. Yesterday my bar disappeared, I called and spoke with a clueless lady that didn’t seem like she wanted to help anyone. She said “someone was trying to steal my identity” I called BS since I pay for LifeLock and they would have notified me. Then she hung up on me. I called LifeLock and they said no such this had happened. I called back and spoke with a guy, he confirmed that the lady I spoke with didn’t know what she was talking about. He said I needed to verify my ID that I was “randomly selected”. He said after I verified, that I should call to make sure it worked. I called the number it said due to high call volumes, they weren’t taking calls. Then I went to the website and verified. It said I passed and it would take 6-9 weeks more. I then called after and was told that it still showed I needed to verify ID?????? Today I received a letter post dated 2/18. I’m wondering why they didn’t tell me I was mailed a letter? Also why it would take an additional 6-9 week (double and triple) the usual time to process?

                                                                                  This is my first reply, however, I’ve been watching and reading since the very start of the tax season. This site is a god-send that has helped many people. I filed through turbo tax on 1/27/16 and was accepted by IRS the very same day. I remained at one bar until my 19th day which is when I lost my bar, but had the processing message with “a date will be provided to you when available” with tt152. I called the IRS on 2/17 (my 21st day) and the gentleman told me there was an unpostable on my account and I had to verify my identity. Called that number and was blessed to get through on my second try but got a nasty woman as a representative. Towards the end of the call, we got snippy back and forth because she said my school didnt send the 1098T form (which I received so Im quite sure IRS has it too). Anyhow, she said she was releasing my return to continue processing and to wait nine weeks to either get a refund or a letter in the mail. Yesterday, I received a letter 5071C dated Feb. 18th in the mailed, couldnt get through because I’d hold for maybe 30 to 40 minutes then the line would hang up (I think they were tired) so I verified online. Called ID Verify this morning and was told the first time I verified indeed released return to continue processing and I should wait 9 weeks to finish. I wasn’t able to order tax return transcripts until yesterday so maybe that’s a good sign that I’m almost to the end. This is crazy!! All the previous years when my refund was over $10K, they sent it like nothing….. but now the refund is only a little over $1K, they giving me hell…. WTF???

                                                                                  On the other hand, my step-father had to do the same thing (idVerify). He verified his on the same day 2/17 (I dialed the number 20 times to get through for him). He had a wonderful representative help him. I check his WMR yesterday and he has a DD for 2/24. Wow!!! I’m wondering if the representative that verified my ID but some notes on my account to make them hold mine back. I never had any issues with the IRS, perhaps because my filing status went from HOH to SINGLE with only income from unemployment and Retirement as every year before I had three dependents and W-2’s (or at least a Schedule C for 3 out of 20 years).

                                                                                  I’ve prepared returns for over 10 of my family members and friends and NOT one single person had a problem, besides me (I didn’t prepares my step-father’s return). Well will keep you guys updated.

                                                                                      Still no bars or update since my bars disappeared on 02/19. I decided to call the Tax Advocate today and lightly stretched the truth. Spoke with a really nice lady who looked into my file. She stated that it is still in the normal processing. There are no holds, letters or balance owed. She stated everything from what she can see appears to be in order and instructed that i call back in a week.

                                                                                      So I guess on the bright side everything is moving forward. Also I still cannot order my transcripts (account or return) Filed 2/10 Accepted 2/10 bars disappeared 02/19. Good luck everyone

                                                                                            I agree with you that the IRS is behind according to the processing time as well as refund circle. Moreover, in January, CNBC interviewed IRS Commissioner , Mr. Koskinen, and he indicated that, “The fast tax return technically is over” they take their time to make sure everything looks right before they’re approved one. I hope everyone has a great impatient, and best of luck to all. In case you’re really need the money from the tax refund, you can contact the tax advocate at 1-877-777-4778. They may expedite your process.

I finally got through to someone on Friday and was told that we owed from 2014 (I knew this). That is what made the bars and tax topic go missing. I was given a DDD of 2/24 and as of Saturday, we have bars, a tax topic, and a DDD on WMR.

                                                                                              Our taxes were accepted on 2/2.

It was in the evening, around 9pm when it was accepted. I had 1 bar from 2/12 till 2/19. After i looked yesterday, i called yesterday afternoon and spoke with a nice lady who said there was nothing that she could see that was holding up my account. She stated that there is no rhyme or reason as to why the bars disappear and she said she had the same thing happen to her this year. Other than that she said there is nothing else they can do until march 2nd. She made it seem like i would see changes within the next few days, i did not see anything this morning, heres hoping that we get some progress soon. It seems like alot of people who filed on the same day and after us have already got their DDD.

                                                                                                        From what i figured by reading all of the posts on this thread, it seems like most people see a change/DDD 5 days or so after their bars disappear. Heres to hoping we see that same change. Good luck, i will keep everyone posted.

Anyone filed same day please let me know. I know this is the most longest tax season that I have been experienced. I never had to wait this long for the last 7 years. Good luck to everyone.

                                                                                                                  I had one bar until 1/27 when it disappeared along with my refund amount
                                                                                                                  and tax topic 152 appeared.

                                                                                                                  it stayed that same way until last saturday or the day before, I can’t remember.
                                                                                                                  the amount returned and tt 152 disappeared.

                                                                                                                  throughout this whole process I have not been able to order either transcripts, although I can use my old address to order past years transcripts.

                                                                                                                  when I called the customer service line they 2/17 told me that there was a small error in my account which was corrected and there were no letters sent out and nothing to do on my part.

                                                                                                                  She said that I should expect it within the next week or two

                                                                                                                  Hopefully she is correct and I today am starting to believe it!

                                                                                                                  Finally able to order return transcript today 2/20!

I id verified me on the 10th or 11th and verified husband last week was told wait 9 weeks. Lost bars and tax topic after verifying my husband. I just got ddd for the 24th. Good luck everyone

Basically what many others are going through, but I noticed a slight difference on ” Where is my Refund”

                                                                                                                      My tax return status changed from “your tax return is still being process” to we have received your tax return and it is being processed” what does this mean? Or does it mean anything at all?

                                                                                                                                          I had one bar until 1/27 when it disappeared along with my refund amount

                                                                                                                                          throughout this whole process I have not been able to order either transcripts, although I can use my old address to order past years transcripts.

                                                                                                                                          today when I called the customer service line they told me that there was a small error in my account which was corrected and there were no letters sent out and nothing to do on my part.

                                                                                                                                          Hopefully she is telling me the truth =/ I hate waiting this long, i’ve had two years that I had to wait until june and july, last year it was only two weeks though..

I really need to pay my car note up. I recently started a new job and I know I shouldn’t have to depend on MY tax money but if this is how its going to work I am going to start letting the government take less of my money per check. This is bogus.

However I wasn’t satisfied so I researched tax advocacy and decided to give them a call anyway turns out there was a problem, I needed to ID verify I would have never known this if I hadn’t gone with my gut feeling. After verifying my ID they said it could take up to 9 weeks. If it has been more than 21 days for ANYONE I suggest you call the tax advocacy toll free number to find out if you need to verify ID the longer you wait the longer it will take the number is 18777774778

I’m from Alabama and filed with h&r block accepted on January 25th (today being 22 days since rerun received) my bars went missing on Thursday last week and showed your return is still being processed a date will be provided when available with tax topic 152 and all my info still showing. I just called and talked to a very sweet lady I told her it’s been over 21 days and last week my bars disappeared so I needed to know what was going on. She looked at our return and said that because of so many returns that went through around that time we got resequenced and it would take around another 7 days. I asked so you’re sure nothing is wrong and I don’t have to do anything extra and she say everything looks great and there are no issues that it just got pushed back and that’s why the bars disappeared and said to check back the end of the week and over the weekend and I should see an update on where’s my refund. I made her double check everything just to be sure and she assured me that everything was fine and we’d have a direct deposit date soon. So I just wanted to share and I hope it helps others! I didn’t have to do Id check or anything else and I never have in the past it’s just their systems having so many returns being processed at once. I will check back and update over the weekend or beginning of next week to let everyone know how it goes and if we have any updates like I was told.

Had been planning 21 days out from that which would have been the 15th or 16th. When I got someone on the phone she informed me that it had technically not been accepted by the IRS till the 28th so my 21 days won’t be up till the 18th or 19th. She said if it is not on there by those days then I can call back. Now they are saying the sytem is down again and are extending the dates even longer

You filed back on 1/19 and you can’t get any information?? No way, that is BS.

A TA can look you up and at least let you know why you are delayed and if you need to do anything.

                                                                                                                                                          This year IRS is just saying sit and wait to many people. However, when people call and get a TA on the case they get progress. Even if you don’t want to use a “TA” they will be able to see if you need to ID verify or if you can do anything on your end. You could be waiting on a letter for weeks since they are so backed up.

                                                                                                                                                          Then again, you could see a DDD with the next update. I wish you the best of luck. I have lost my bars and TT152, but I did not file until 1/29. I am still getting some answers if I don’t see a DDD on Wednesday.

                                                                                                                                                            This year IRS is just saying sit and wait to many people. However, when people call and get a TA on the case they get progress. Even if you don’t want to use a “TA” they will be able to see if you need to ID verify or if you can do anything on your end. You could be waiting on a letter for weeks since they are so backed up.

                                                                                                                                                            Then again, you could see a DDD with the next update. I wish you the best of luck. I have lost my bars and TT152, but I did not file until 1/29. I am still getting some answers if I don’t see a DDD on Wednesday.

                                                                                                                                                                I jjust called and after waiting an hour and a half she told me as long as it has no tax codes or errors I should be fine its just processing so that made me feel a little better .
                                                                                                                                                                She so said if you have tax topic 152 that , that just means you have to wait an extra week to two weeks for your return. Fingers crossed hopefully Iget a ddd this week .

Bars disappeared 2/6. 21 days was up 2/9. Still sitting with “your return is still being processed” with TT152. I have talked to the IRS and they said my return is being held and I should receive a letter within 30 days. They can’t see a letter in the system though and nothing has gone out. They tell me they are unable to see what is going on to give me more info. Has anyone else ever experienced this or have any insight? Thanks!

But I do check it at least 5 times a day. I really thought I would have notice today but then realized its a National Holiday. I have always gotten my returns in 5 days and this is the longest it has ever taken, never been flagged for Identity theft either. Same job same kids so I am praying the only reason it is being delayed is because of the outage that happened earlier this month

I still have TT 152, but nothing else has changed. I can order my account transcript, but not my return. My state (CA) was approved and should hit my bank this week,but no update on federal. I did the online ID verify about a week and a half ago even though I had no codes. At the time I thought maybe it would help, but now I’m thinking maybe it just pushed me back. I haven’t the IRS yet because I don’t feel like dealing with it, but if I don’t have an update by Wednesday I definitely will.

Also filed 1/25. I spoke with a super nice IRS lady yesterday and she saw processing codes on my return and said there were no negative codes or letters to be sent. But that I just had to wait about 7 more days because of delays. Maybe it means it’s finally our turn coming up? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rep said I didn’t have to verify anything or there wasn’t a freeze on my account, to give it till the 16tg..Looking through my transcript I have a 570 code with the date of 2/22/2016 with my refund amounts dated 4/15/2016… I’m so confused can anyone tell me what’s going on?

I called verified information from my return this year and last years and they informed me it can take up to 9 weeks to finish processing but it seems that as son as the verification is done people are getting DDD a few days later

                                                                                                                                                                                            i really feel bad for all those that are still wondering about their bars and taxes.

                                                                                                                                                                                            my story short i called IRS for 3 days telling little white lies until i got transfered to someone, once i was transfered and found out I had to do IDverifiy i did that the same day the following day I contacted Tax Advocates through the IRS page. on 2/9 she informed me the unpostable hold was removed and i could expect to see a ddd by today. I didnt hold much hope for that because i know that the IRS loves to play and sit on other peoples money and make them wait.

                                                                                                                                                                                            please those that are going through this do what you have to, to get the information needed about your taxes so they can start moving in the direction we all want ” OUR MONEY”

We have received your tax return and it is being processed. It only says that with no bars and no topic. On the left it has my info and my refund amount. I got accepted on the 29th of Jan. I called the IRS today and she was so nice and told me nothing is wrong with my returns and it hasn’t been 21 days yet so I should be fine. Has anyone received or heard of anyone receiving their refund without the bars coming back? Please help.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I just want to give you a update. I call the irs in regards to my taxes because my still saying still processing a refund date will be provided when available. So I decided to call my bank to see if they had a pending deposit for me and yes they do of my refund that will be available for me on February 17th. I just want you to know to keep checking with your bank because as of 3:00pm it is still saying processing but my bank has it pending. I also did my daughter taxes on Sunday hers is saying refund received and she received her money today. I think the system is not updating like they say they want people to keep stressing about their money. I hope this helps because I have patiently waiting for mine since it was accepted on January 28th and it look like they making me wait the entire 21days unless it releases tomorrow but it is a reliever to know that it is pending to deposit in my bank. I hope this information help everyone.

Spoke with HR Block in regard to their Estimate Date being in conflict with WMR and was told that I should expect my return either on 2/16 (as reported by them) or sooner…so now I’m waiting.

                                                                                                                                                                                                    :( I want to be like all the people who are spending tax money.

I was not able to do this from 1/14- 2/10. After seeing other ppl messages on here and another location. If you’re able to order the return a DDD will be coming shortly afterwards.

I called 800-829-0922 on 2/8 spoke with a nice gentleman who told me I had a Identity Theft alert on my acct. He transferred me to a different department and provided me with code 1849. I spoke to the next gentleman he asked 6 ?’s to verify me. Then said now your return back in processing status.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            I called 800-829-0922 got this omg nice man who broke my information completely down. Well come to find out the Identity Theft alert was do to my return for the tax year of 2012, 2013 and 2014 was being submitted numerous of times after being accepted. 2015 I received a paper check instead of my funds being direct deposited to Netspend. So after a 1hr call he advised to request a pin for electronic filing to prevent the additional attempts. How this is happening IDK. However, I now have to wait up till 9wks possibly before to receive my refund.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            WMR message was saying “We received your tax return and it is being processed. A refund date will be provided once available.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            WMR message now saying “We received your tax return and it is being processed.

I do know via the TA that we are weekly whatever that means.

She pulled up my account and said that I could not do it, because it was not needed for my taxes. I told her about the lost bars and she said it means nothing, that the only note on my account was that it needed 1-2 weeks additional processing. She said if there was a problem with my taxes that I would have received a 4 digit error code and not tax topic 152 and that this is a unique tax season and the irs is taking full advantage of the 21 days to process taxes.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Some are even saying if you have No Bars “without” Tax Topic 152, you’re not okay.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I’m starting to think it all depends on each person’s own personal situation. I believe it means there is a delay regardless if it may be a mathematical error, ID verify, system error, and etc.

Well, instead, I called today to see if I got a different answer and of course.. ID VERIFY!! Went through the process, told 9 weeks, so more like mid April and that was that. And people wonder why I legitimately hate the size and scope of the US government.

Topic 152 is still displayed with a message saying if they need anything more I will be informed! My question is have anyone had this problem, called the IRS and was told they had to something more before receiving their refund? For those who experienced this and got a ddd, how many days did it take before you got a refund date? My 21 days are up on the 12th, and like everyone else I have a lot to do!

This can happen even if you previously checked Where’s My Refund? and it showed the status as “Return Received” along with the tracker. In these cases be assured that we have your tax return and we are processing it. Please follow the directions provided by Where’s My Refund? . Otherwise if we need more information we will contact you – usually by mail. If we send you a letter about your return, please follow the instructions in the letter as soon as possible.

This year I moved to another state so when they went away I figured it was because of verifying my identity. However I was wrong, after calling the IRS this morning I found out that I was under review because of my income, they wanted to verify that I made as much as I say I made. Needless to say this irritated me because, I simply transfer info from my W2’s. Nevertheless I was given a timeline of 6-8 weeks for additional processing from the 5th of February, and 6-8 weeks for monies to be dispersed. The gentlemen over the phone was very helpful and forthcoming. So I begin to wait. Below I’ll leave a description of my timeline below:

We got the message same as everyone else about tax refund processing and our bars disappeared on Saturday. We filed on the 2nd of February. My husband called Monday and was told not to worry about anything and they wouldn’t be able to tell him anything for 21 days anyway. I told him to call back because I have never been one to take a generic answer (especially when it deals with our money). He called back yesterday and asked the girl to just check our account to make sure everything was okay. She said she would make sure no letters had been sent out. No letters had been sent out but we found out that identity still had to be verified. Now they say it will take 9 weeks but we are pretty sure it won’t. They told me it would take 9 weeks to get my name off of the offset list (for student loans) and it took like 2 weeks. Fingers crossed we all get our money soon.

Still no bars this morning. Well i called the irs. I filed and was “accepted on 1/22. Accordin to tge ira it was 1/25 that it was accepted. The rep was nice until i asked why people after me recieved tgeir money. She stated you cant compare situations. And that it was “weird” i was getting back over half of my income. I have filled taxes for 10 years! For the last 5 i have gotten over half of my income back in taxes. I claim all 3 of my children as head of household! My refund is for 9xxx. So she said she couldnt guarentee my money by the 15th but at least probably a date. She said NOTHING was showing in my account as an issue… So…. I have no idea… Beyond frustrated. Im suppose to move by march 1st. No money no nothing. Section 8 needs the paperwork by tuesday the latest… So thank u irs. My family is about to be homeless…

Same thing happened to me. I filed on the 24th, accepted on the 24th. Found out Friday that I had to verify my identity, which I did. Woke up Tuesday with no bars and still can not order my Return transcript.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I e-filed on TurboTax on 1-19-16, accepted same day. My state processed my return 1-20-16, and apparently denied it, sending me a letter in the mail a few days letter asking for “more information”, it said I could email or fax them. So, I did. They wanted copies of my w2’s and copies of my federal return paperwork from TurboTax, so they could ” verify my EIC”.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                On Sunday, I checked Where’s My Refund to check the status of my federal because I still hadn’t received it, and all the bars disappeared, and all it said was “your return is still processing, blah blah”, like everyone else. Topic 152, all my info on the left still there. I was able to finally order my transcript the next day? (I don’t know if that means anything though.. Can someone PLEASE clarify that for me? I keep reading different things.) I called the IRS the next day, and the lady reassured me that a lot of people are having this issue, and not to worry unless I haven’t heard anything for two days. Which is today. I’m getting fed up with nobody GIVING ME ANY ANSWERS AS TO WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. I feel like, I worked for and paid these taxes, I deserve to know SOMETHING.. But anyway..

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The ONLY thing I can think of, is that I had a new baby last year. My refund is almost 3,000 more than it was last year. I claimed HOH, with two children and the EIC. Would this cause a red flag with the IRS enough to warrant a manual review? Not that I’m worried if they are; it’s all legitimate. It’s just BS because it’s taking so long. It’s ridiculous

My bars are missing! My husband passed away 6-24-15. I wonder if they are reviewing me because of this? I really need my refund. Since my husbands death I am behind on everything. School is out because of all the snow so I’ve had to miss work to stay home with our little boy. Should I be worried? Anyone know how long of a wait I’m looking at? Thanks in advance!

I’ll update as soon as I at least see bars again ?

Its a processing error that occurred last week via IRS system that put literally thousands of accounts in limbo. The scary thing is the representative, who helped me last year, told me it could delay us up to 8 weeks. I sure hope not.

In the same boat as alot of you. My Husband filed on the 11th, accepted on the 12th (through TurboTax). Had 1 bar, until Jan. 30th. Then they disappeared with the message, Return is still being processed. A refund will be blah blah blah, and I still have TT 152.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                So he called yesterday, and spoke to a representative. She said that she doesn’t see any problems with his return and no letters scheduled to be sent out, just that he needed additional review and that he should see an update within 2 weeks.

Had 1 bar from that point through the last weekend in January. My “expected date” on the HRB website was 2/3. Bars disappeared from WMR on 1/30. Started freaking out bc I had just gotten my 2014 tax refund Jan 9 2015 (a month ago) due to ID theft hold on my account. Bars were gone with topic 152, and refund amount

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Started calling around to IRS – they said everything is fine, no ID hold, can’t tell me much more than its good that I was accepted. (Not approved).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Called HRB they said that they should get my money on the 9th/10th, take their fee out, and I have it in my account 10th/11th.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Bars have still not come back… I doubt they ever will at this point. I just hope I don’t have to wait for a year again. It would be so nice for this to work like it’s supposed to.

As of this morning they had returned, my refund had been accepted and deposit is set for 2/10. The longest I’ve ever waited for my refund and I think its because I filed early. But I wish everyone luck, don’t give up hope, I always believe that those funds will be there when you need it the most…

Since there were sooooo many updates last night. I know ALOT of people on the post last night lost their bars right before WMR went down for updating and when it came up they had changed to a DDD! I highly doubt all of us are under review or will be delayed. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and more importantly prayers going up to see some movement tonight/early am Sunday!

I was finally able to order my return transcript yesterday.

Just wanna send some encouragement. Mine was accepted 1-19-16 then a week later bars disappeared and said date would be available soon with topic 152. I got up this morning 2-6-16 to a dd date of Wednesday 2-10-16 and my bars reappeared. Praying everyone has a similar outcome very very soon!!!

Bars and tax topic 152 disappeared on 01/30. No movement since! This has never happened. My brother filed the same day and never lost his bars woke up to his ddd of 02/10! Beyond frustrated right now. Not to mention some say this could mean identity issues however no code or number is mentioned and I have not received a letter.

We were both on the same first bar since 1/19, around 4 am both our bars disappeared. Around 6 am mine came back with a DDD of 2/10 and on the second bar. His is still missing and no 152 topic, it happens each year with him I don’t understand why!,

My bars went missing last weekend and I still had TT 152.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    My boyfriend and I both filed same day he received his 2/3/15. We are both weeklys.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The IRS agent stated to me first batch of weeklys started out with a week delay due to weather wherever they process us.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Then the first week they started processing they weren’t able to finish that batch so the remainder of the taxpayers got resequenced. So if you know u are a weekly and have no bars but still have TT152 you should be fine just delayed..

Answered some verification questions which she promised wouldn’t delay my refund. Nervous because last year my bars went missing 3-4 days after filing (on 2/1 or 2/2 last year) and I didn’t see my refund until late May.

I was able to order my transcripts at about 2:30 a.m., and only checked it to see if I could after my bars disappeared, and I received a message on WMR saying,”Your refund is still processing. A direct deposit date will be posted when available.” I was a little concerned. But checked a few minutes ago and wmr shows that I should receive my deposit by February 10. So I don’t know how significant the transcripts are, but it seems to be a good sign. I read in other posts that if there is an issue, a code will show on wmr, but that’s just based off what I read. I’m not sure how true it is.

I had one bar until January 29th then I received the message of my taxes are still processing etc. with tax topic 152. I called IT’S and a lady informed me that they didn’t start processing returns until January 19th and she also said that if I didn’t have a 4 digit code I should be fine. After logging on everyday this morning at 5:45 am I finally have 2 bars with a DDD of February 10th. Don’t give up hope guys. Just keep checking and start calling for answers to the IR’S on February 9th.

Give them vague info.. Someone at the irs said call this number and check with you.. They can at least look at the account and verify if that’s what’s needed..

Was able to order return yesterday. I do have am offset which they have taken state already still going to take full amount of offset out of federal bc I called offset line yesterday and it told me so and that it will be taken Feb 10th. So this morning two bars on wmr with dd of Feb 10. I will probably be waiting a long time to get the extra 800.00 they took though!

Your refund is under manual review. Your refund is fine. We dont think your you so prove it. Whatever but no we all get the same response wether were being audited refunded reviewed or fraud checked its rude. My refunds for just under $9,000 who wouldnt be super pissed

Over something my ex husband didn’t report in 2012 (I wasn’t even working that year!)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  I called before tax season opened and they said there was an additional 1,800$ tied to my name. So I figured I’d just be in the same boat, but at least get the other half of my return back.

I wasn’t able to order my return transcript until yesterday. Just checked WMR, still no bars. What the hell, IRS?

Some people are saying we are probably under review. I spent almost 45 minutes on the phone with someone at the IRS today and I would hope she would have mentioned that. She should have been able to see it, since I had my return transcript ordered by then.

I’d expect them to just take that and send the rest off. I’m not sure if that’s why I didn’t get an update. I guess we will have to wait and see what the transcripts say

Please do the same. I saw where you had the same issue, maybe we are just processing late since the update doesn’t officially end until 6am est. The IRS WMR website still says it was last updated 01/05, so maybe. I’m holding on to the last bit of hope. If not, I’m afraid we will be waiting another full week since we are weekly.

Called the tax advocate line today and am claiming hardship because my landlord is about to evict us because she doesnt want rent for the month paid two different times. by 2/10 i will have shut off notices for gas and electric, lets hope by the time they call and with all the above that they can get our refund back to us at least by the first of next month will update after i talk to the tax advocate between now and the 10th is when i should get a call. i think that its complete bull crap that after you verifiy your identity that they can make you wait for another 9 weeks, my return was flagged for identoty theft half way through the processing, we should not be made to go through the whole thing again from the very very bottom of the stack, im not standing for it and i am going to fight tooth and nail until i get our return in the bank until then i hope that everyone at all of the numbers that i have called enjoy hearing from me every single day.

I tried calling IRS. Was transferred to transcript line cause I told them I was able to order my return transcripts. Was then told that it was impossible for me to have had ordered the return transcripts for 2015. When I said that I did and I would receive them in 5-10 days he told me that I what ever I received would not be them. Don’t know what the hell the IRS is doing but I know I’m starting to get pi****

I filed on 1/14 but was supposedly not accepted until the 21st. Lost my bars on Monday and the irs woman told me I was under review.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    So I am especially excited and hope things will work in my favor! I hear irs agents are telling people anything they feel like which is just awful.

Since Wednesday I have tried to order my 2015 RETURN transcript and have been unsuccessful until 5 mins ago. I know its not gonna help wit DDD but it gives me hope because if there was a problem then I would not have been able to order them right? I’ll keep updating and I hate this for not only me but for all of us.

But I still have tax topic 152. Also I still see my refund amount on left side where filing status and SSN is. I just checked and still no change. This is frustrating

Last Saturday 1/30, all bars and tax topic disappeared. As of today I got a nice man who gave me the identity phone number saying that was holding me up. After 1.5 hours on hold answered all of the questions then got disconnected. Start it again, 2 hours later made sure it went through then I got the woman telling me the slight delay of 9 weeks too. To which I replied why? She said I was under review they needed to match w2’s. I told her I’d furnish those today to expedite. Obviously that’s a no. However, they don’t get w2’s till June from companies. So, I’m inclined to not believe her? I’m going to figure this out at some point. But this is absurd!

That’s What I Did And Found Out That I’m Under Review And To Call The Identity Line. Currently On Hold With Them. So if you are like me and no bars since 1/29 and no tax topic 152 i would strongly suggest that you call and tell that little white lie above. ill update again when i know more

As of 6 am no progress, although turbo tax says 46% of people who filed the same day as I have received their $.. In the past I’ve always received my refund within 7 days but filed early for some stupid reason this year, which I won’t do again. I hope now for a deposit on the 8th…

They lady informed me that I had no pending letters and everything looks to be OK. I should receive my refund by the 8th but call in on the 9th if I don’t. Basically she nicely gave me the 21day speech. But the information was helpful to know

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            • #4127395

I woke up on 1/30 to find this after I’d previously had one bar.

I called the tax advocate line and they said everything looked good, but to wait the 21 days, she said sometimes it is in as few as 7 days.

I don’t know what that means. I know some people say they have had no bars but still had a refund amount. My refund amount is not even showing.. I called yesterday and I had no offset, so I’m not quite sure what is going on.

Whenever I checked WMR it always had the one bar but on 1/30 it disappeared and hasn’t came back. It just says “Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available.” I don’t know what the deal is because I’ve never had this issue before.

She said no letter was ever sent to me and the Error dept will attempt to fix the issue (whatever it is) if they can. She said my expected date would have been the 11th but now I shouldn’t expect anything until after the 18th.

Last night I got a pending deposit notice for 2/5 from my bank for my tax return. My bars came back this morning and show my DDD. We used TurboTax and filed for free. I was never able to order transcripts.

Code 152 was still there. I just finished talking to IRS lady very nice, she looked into my account, said everything was fine and my direct deposit date is 020516, She also said they are doing a MASS UPDATE TONIGHT ON WMR. so if you were able to get your refund transcript mailed to you, and the bars disappeared maybe you are in luck

Lost them over the weekend. Tax Topic 152 and amount showing. Oh, I hope this means we will see DDD in the morning! Thanks to those who call the IRS and update us so we don’t ALL call and waste their time.

Also they don’t start counting until the 19th so don’t panic, your return should still take 21 days from the 19th

I filed on 1/27, accepted 1/27. I also just tried to check “Where’s My Refund” again (even though I know we are only supposed to do it once daily), and the system is down?! Maybe that is a good thing. Seems like there are way too many people with missing bars!! Hoping it’s just a computer glitch and we are not actually ALL being reviewed!

I was flagged for review in the 2013 tax year and it was a horrible process. Finally received my return in May of 2014. I will say that I NEVER lost my bars that year though. Just stayed on one bar even after I received my 4464c letter. Last year I waited until 2/3 to file and I breezed right through. Had my deposit by 2/15. I will never make the mistake of early filing again.

TT 152 and the amount came back later in the day, but still no bars. Was able to order acct Transcript on Friday using old address, but never return, and only over phone. Was able to order acct online yesterday, but not any longer.
