[Angie]

[E]

I got my Federal this morning !!! :D :D

See you all next year!

@Shelly

My CA returned stated a 2 month returned when I filed , it changed a day later, and I received my return in a week. Good Luck !

[Shelly]

I filed my CA state taxes March 7, 2017, and they were accepted the same day. I did e-file through the CA ftb website. I have not mailed in my federal taxes but they are completed. 😏 Procrastination. However, I had a 2 month message up until Wednesday this week on the 15th, it now reads : Please allow 1 month from the date you filed your return to complete process. Anyone have a change on their status like this?
No DD

[Terry]

[Travis]

This blows. People filing a full week after me are receiving returns before I am? Makes no sense at all. WMR is never updated and I basically have to sit here and wait 21 days before I can get any help. Ridiculous

[Kyle]

Woot woot congrats everyone. Relax time til next year haha. I doubt it will be sent earlier. I’ve never had a refund come earlier then scheduled. For the bulk of us the wait is over. For everyone else, hang in. It’s coming

[E]

Refund approved ! DDD 3/22 :D

Kyle was right ! LoL

[Dee]

I filed 3/7 and accepted 3/8. WMR still says it’s process.

I woke up this morning and checked my transcript.

I have an offset code 826, hold code 570 and notice code 971.
At the top of the transcript it says processing date April 3 2017 and credit to account April 15, 2017. I don’t have an 846 code for refund issued.

Anyone know if I’ll receive refund on April 15?

[Heather]

I woke up this morning to the glorious message that my DD will be sent to my bank “By 3/22″…..so, maybe earlier?? I’m not complaining about the 22nd, just want it to arrive so things can be final :)

[Kyle]

Woke up today with DDD of 3/22 which is exactly cycle date 20171105

[Travis]

John

How did you find out you needed the verification?

[John]

I got a letter in mail about 21 days after I field my taxes. Do t want to get your hopes down. Just giving you what I know from my experience in the same situation

[Travis]

John

How didn’t you find out you needed the verification?

[Candy]

Filed and accepted 3/7
No update, still one bar.
Looking at my past returns I always got my update on Saturday overnight and deposit that following Wednesday or Thursday. Last year I was able to order transcripts one day before WMR was updated with a date. Was just able to order return transcripts today.

Kyle how do you know your cycle date?

[Aaron]

Just checked and was able to view my return transcript. Cycle posted was 20171105.

[John]

Travis

Same thing happen to me.

I filed 2/2 and accepted same day bars disappeared on 2/8 and had the same message. Turn out my return was pulled for ID verify. Did that on 3/8 was able to order both transcripts this morning. So the nine week wait isn’t true. The longest wait will be for the letter you need to verify. Hope you get phone verify.

[Travis]

Filed with TT on 3/3, accepted same day. On 3/11 my bars disappeared with message your return is being processed you will be provided with an update when available. Also, not able to order the return transcripts by mail. Does anybody know if they do this by alphabetical order or something?

[E]

Kyle

Well… Hell … if you’re excited then I am too !! Haha (I’ll just take your word for it ) haha

[Kyle]

Google lol. 2017. The year. 11. The 11th week of the IRS processing cycle. 05. The 5th business day in the IRS process. Day 1 is Thursday. 2 is friday. 3 is monday. Etc :) so 20171105 is Wednesday deposit. Woot woot

[E]

Kyle

I have the same . What does that mean and how do you know this info ? Lol

[Kyle]

Cycle date on my refund is 20171105 so I’ll get a deposit Wednesday woot woot

[E]

Stephanie! Thank you for the positive vibes !

I was able to request transcripts online…..so tick tock…tick tock any minute now !

[Taramg5]

Filed 3/13
DDD 3/21
Woke up this morning to DDD of 3/21. I didn’t check wmr yesterday but I’m assuming it updated for me last night.

Filed my husbands the same day and no update for him.

[Stephanie]

GOOD MORNING ABD POSITIVE VIBES TO ALL!
FILED 3/8 (AFTER 7PM so probably 3/9)
ACCEPTED 3/10
APPROVED 3/17
DDD 3/21

[Kyle]

The rumor is once you are able to order return transactions than your processing is done and should update soon. There’s a section on the IRS website to order them. I select the mail option as there’s less verification involved.

[Heather]

Ugh, still no change :(

Is there a specifc wording on the WMR that shows you can request a transcript? What does that mean as far as processing status?

[Kyle]

It’s coming soon. I was able to order return transcript this morning.

[Kyle]

Awesome Asher. Nice fast turnaround for you

[Asher]

Filed 3/11 (after 5p)
Accepted 3/11
Approved 3/16
DDD- 3/20
EITC, ACA penalty, no fees, HR Block online

State (CA) –
Filed 3/11 (after 5p)
Accepted 3/11
Approved 3/13 w/ refund within 10days message.

[Heather]

I meant to say that some calendars showed the 24th :) I can’t remember for sure but, I think I have had the deposit in the bank before the federal showed a DD date in past years. Fingers crossed :) I just always feel like I can put the tax returns behind me once the deposits are there without problem. Until then, I keep my filebox sitting on my desk :(

[Kyle]

No new news for me. Filed and accepted the 8th. Still at “received / processing” message. Unable to order refund transcripts either. I saw a calendar that said 17th and one that said 24-27th. I do know that even if approved today we probably wouldn’t have a deposit until Monday. My past experience is deposit 4 days after approval.

[Heather]

So, I filed on 3/10 and both state (KY) and Federal were accepted on 3/10. (Filed around 5pm eastern time).
Today, my state has updated to say that a direct deposit has been authorized and I should receive it within 10 days (this usually takes way less YAY!)
My Federal hasn’t updated past we have received and are processing. I have checked several of the online refund calendars. Some say that I should receive on the 17th if accepted before 11am on Saturday, March11. Others say the 17th. I’m hoping the earlier option. Anyone else from my timeframe have any info.

[Angie]

Filed and accepted March 9 and still at one bar with tax topic 152.

[Kyle]

No new update for me. Still one bar, still pending. Able to order account transcript but not return transcript yet

[sandy]

My DD is PENDING for the 15th in my Credit Union this morning. They NEVER release funds early :(

[chicky]

Jane–if you have to pay the insurance penalty, that should be factored into your refund amount already. I didn’t have insurance for two months and when I entered that info my refund amount went down *sigh*. But after I filed/sent it to the IRS, everything went fine.

In fact, I came back to say that it’s Sunday 3/12 and at 9pm my prepaid card was loaded with my refund even though the official DDD is 3/15. (Filed 3/3). I’d suggest using one of these cards if you want to get the refund that much sooner. Mine is the PayPal prepaid one.

Good luck everyone!

[Kyle]

Jane-
I’m not sure how the whole insurance penalty works or if it delays the process. I have no update yet and am not able to order return transcripts. I also only just filed on the 8th.

[Kyle]

Kate-
Thanks for the info :)

[kate]

Kyle- i have one dependent and EIC. could be a total coincidence but anytime I filed in March, I got the refund within 9/10 days. took longer if I filed in February.

[Jane]

[chicky]

thanks lemonyfresh, that helps a lot!

I can order my return transcript by mail….that means they’re done processing it right? still at one bar, still have tax refund 152 message.

[lemonyfresh]

My son and I filed 3/2, and accepted by IRS 3/2.
His, single, EZ, by 3/5 had DDD of 3/9, got cash in credit union 3/8.

Everyday I checked WMR, i had one bar, topic 152, and refund amount.
Me, 1040A, first yr with new address and married filing sep. no eic. very straight forward return.

Yesterday, on 3/9, I found the bars missing, topic 152 gone, return amount gone; just a “still processing” message. I was panicked.

This morning 3/10, I checked WMR to find 2 bars, with full return amount back and a DDD of 3/14. Yay.

Hope this helps someone. Have hope and good luck.

[Jared]

Sandy, fiked same as you but on 3/2.
Still only at one bar with no DDD…

[sandy]

used TT
filed 3/3
accepted 3/3
married filing joint
WMR still at 1 bar
finally can order both transcripts by mail this morning
will I get a DDD tomorrow?

[Kyle]

No changes for me yet but then again it’s only been two days :-)

[KJ]

I like to think that tax topic 152 means that I should recieve a refund if nothing is found during processsing. I want it to stay on 152 until it changes to a direct deposit date, lol.

Some ppl who filed the same day I did, already have DDDs. But, everyone’s situation is different. I try to remain positive about it because they claim to process it in 21 days, most get it wayyy before then. We are spoiled, lol.

[chicky]

Tax topic 152 means definite refund, right?

[KJ]

Filed on March 4th
Turbotax with fees
EIC with one dependent
Education credit
No offsets

Still on tax topic 152. I was told that WMR updates on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Hoping we all see a positive update maybe this upcoming Saturday.

[chicky]

Yup, a two more people on Igotmyrefund’s Facebook page filed on 3/2 and 3/3, both got a DDD of 3/10.

I’m going to stop looking because I’m starting to feel sick. Just gonna hope that it’s like last year and the deposit will just show up tomorrow instead of a problem. :(

[chicky]

And Kate I never know what they mean by “big update”, the WMR site itself says it’s “updated no more than once every 24 hours, usually overnight.”

The person I’m referencing saw an update today (thursday). So…??

[chicky]

Saw someone who filed on 3/4 got a DDD of 3/13. So of course now I’m afraid there’s a problem for me because I didn’t get any update at all, ugh.

[Buehler Buehler Buehler Anyone?]

Nothing on mine. One bar tax topic 152…Gotta love government

[Jared]

Filed 3/2 with turbo tax.

I got the following message for my state taxes(I can’t believe processing will take two months!):
We received your 2016 California Income Tax return on: Wednesday, March 08, 2017.

We are processing your return at this time. Please allow the following timeframes for processing to be completed:

2 months from the date you e-filed your return.

4 months from the date you mailed your return.

If we make adjustments to your return, we will notify you by mail.

[chicky]

Nothing new here either. Still at one bar. This time of year makes me so nervous :(

[Kyle]

None for me but I just filed yesterday. Return received and topic 152. Status showed up on WMR minutes after I was accepted.

[chicky]

Yes, it was always like that for me, around 11,12 days. Last year I was shocked and now I’m just hoping for a repeat lol.

[Kyle]

The average wait time for me every year is between 11 and 13 days from the day I file to the day I get my refund in my account
