[JustMe]

I swore I wouldn’t buy into the transcript theory but finally bit and tried it. I got a message saying it would arrive in 5-10 days (or something like that). Hopefully this means something. I am one who doesn’t desperately need my refund which is about half of what I normally get but I have been on comp since August therefore my earned income sucks. I just need retail therapy and doubt my doctor can prescribe it.

WIll post if I get a date, I checked WMR earlier, I got what everyone else seems to be getting. A lovely message asking if I had entered everything right. It isn’t because I’ve checked to many times, that was the second time in three day. It would seem I’d be simple, I have the same job, same kid, same bank, same address. Hell..I have the same boyfriend, dog and car which is probably about as relevant as what we think is pertinent.

[Lauren]

it would have only been my second time checking. i checked yesterday and then today.. i encountered this problem last year as well.

[Kristina(253)]

You can still use the refund hotline if your locked out of WMR 1 (800) 829-1954

[Debbie]

did anyone else take the education credit??? If so, they are saying that our efiles will be delayed until the middle of Feb.!!! ugh!!! I efiled with TT and so far, nothing!!

[frikfrac]

well at least i did my state and its already accepted so the form 8863 does not effect your state thank god.My sons state(VT) got accepted at 3:55pm friday the 25th and he received direct deposit already on the 29th thats what i calllll fast lol..so at least i can look forward to my state to hold me over!!!

[Anonymous]

Lauren..you have checked it too many times in 24 hours. I did the same thing,lol

[Lauren]

mine was accepted the 26th and processed the 30th and before i got the processing status but now they cant find our info? anybody else get that?

[Sssup]

I filed with local lady. She put it through on the 29th about 9pm said she got acceptance ealry on 30th. WMR website says processing. With the bar. I’m in nj will keep you guys posted. But from the looks of it, we probably see something Monday or Tuesday. Tomorrow dd prob be for the 28 and 29thers. We shall see.

[Anonymous]

The WMR site said my return was “processing” yesterday Called the tax line and it said “refund was received and processing” . Today the WMR site says my return is “processing” but I don’t have the status bar. I called the IRS hotline and it says ” return is still being processed refund date will be issued when it becomes available”..what gives?

[Kristina(253)]

Nothing for mine either. I assume it doesn’t matter which social you use.

[Kristina(253)]

I just tried to order transcripts with m husbands social, said info not available yet. As I am the “primary tax payer” gonna try mine

[Beloizeau]

Filed 1/30, accepted 1/30. Since yesterday, have the status bar and the generic “processing your return with 21 day” message. Hopeful that’ll change soon. Was one of the ones who filed early last year and had my return hung up for days while they tweaked their system. State return also filed 1/30, accepted 1/30, processing. But that’s CA and usually don’t see any movement there until they actually send the $$. Good luck, everyone.

[Corizon]

Filed 1/29, got accepted on 1/30, bar still showing received , no approval or dd yet :)

[Debbie]

I meant to say 3 am on 1/31/13

[Debbie]

File with TT this am around 3 and this is the email I recieved…nothing else as of yet!! ugh!

Your federal return is lined up for processing
The IRS is not ready to accept tax returns that have certain deductions or credits in them – like yours. Your return will be automatically sent to the IRS as soon as they’re ready to process it. This is a nationwide delay for all returns like yours – no matter who prepares them.

Next step: Keep watching your email
We’ll send you another message when your return has either been accepted or rejected by the IRS.

[sarah]

i was accepted early on the 25th of jan. I check WMR and it still only says recieved not apporoved yet, i hear all these people who are getting a DD date when they were accepted on the same date, its getting me worried. I followed all the direction on TURBOTAX so i dont know what the hold up is??

[cbagne]

I filed with TT on 1/26 with a form 8863 and it just saying “pending” so I dont think its even been sent to the IRS at this point…but I guess pending is better than rejected so I guess I will take it. I just hope they end up fixing this issue sooner than mid- February!

[Tonya]

Filed on 1/29, accepted on 1/30, WMR (old version) has no information, hotline no information, curious why some have new WMR status bar and some don’t?

[jen]

Hoping to hear something on dd! Accepted yesterday at 8 pm. Filed on the 29th. Keep u guys posted!

[Mandi1981]

My b/f did, he filed 1/23, accepted on 1/30….dd date of 2/4…I however filed on 1/29…accepted at 1/30, no dd date just the generic 21 day message.

[Anonymous]

Filed with Taxact on 1/28 and accepted on 1/29. Still says processing :( anyone know when it updates?

[Akeyla]

Well… I’m not sure when I was accepted I woke up to a email at 1:38am from HRB saying my return was accepted. I filed on the 29th, So i’m assuming it would be considered 1/30 However I checked WMR and it says received and I should receive it in 21 day. I hope I get a DD Tomorrow. :-) Keeping hOpe alive.

[whitneyf]

Nope. Filed online on 1/12 and accepted 1/30 at 10am CST Still processing

[Jennifer]

No change as of yet. I tried ordering transcripts online with my husband’s ssn and it says wrong info (he’s the primary), try with mine and it goes through but no 2012. Called the new transcript hotline and no 2012 for mine nor his.
Side note: I’m JennC27 when I am on my computer. Using my phone right now, so I’m not logged in. I think next year, I am going to give my info to someone, tell them to file for me and I absolutely do not want any kind of update on the status. I will ban myself from my computer and phone until I get my refund in my account.

[Anonymous]

I filed Jan 26 with form 8863
Got the successfully transmitted email
… And that’s it
No reject email
Hoping mine doesn’t need to be re-filed..

Congratulations! The IRS has accepted this return, and you’re finished with your taxes.

Has been received at the IRS but Still in the 21 day processing thing…grrr annoying (this is my mom’s info)

[pruttykitty]

Really i dont think the date matters… i filed for my self, and filed for my daughter and both were accepted on the 24th… well.. my daughters showed approved yesterday and dd tomorrow.. mine.. well still processing and the 21 day msg.. both are identical returns.. this is some bs

[Anonymous]

I was accepted 1/23 no dd no date no nothing filed thru tax act

[NCMomOf3+1]

I filed married filing joint with dependents. No education credits. Pretty simple return as usual.

[NCMomOf3+1]

I used TT for the first time and filed 1/25 & accepted 1/27. WMR updated for me this morning to DD of 2/4. I used the free edition so no fees, its coming straight to my checking. I’m relieved.

[Kristina(253)]

I haven’t accepted 1/30

[Dani]

Have any H&R block filers gotten a DD date.. just curious

[IGMR Admin]

combining topics…

[mongamari33]

I filed on 1/23 accepted 1/26 wmr gives me the generic 21 day message… i did file 8863 but irs claims they dont even have my return but two.days ago they told me that it was just sitting tbere so idk what to think

[Theresa]

@PM
I filed Head of Household, 1 dependent.

[jessica13]

Filed on 1/30 and mine still says nothing…..when i check WMR says hasnt been recieved. Seems like Im not a lucky one yet…. :(

[Kristina(253)]

@Nisha: Thanks for the update! Gives us all hope!

[kk]

mine were accepted 1/24 1:30pm est and mine still says processing, if you try to many times on the WMR it will lock u out and say you entered the wrong info. I would check once in the morning and once at night. Seems like everyones DD dates are random as some ppl from 1/26 have a DD but then others like me from 1/24 don’t. It’s basically a waiting game with thr irs who knows when they will be done!!

[kwmcgowan]

Filed on the 25th
Accepted on the 27th
Filed with TT, no fees taken out.
Check WMR this morning, showed a DD of 2/4
Checked it again a little later, and showed no information.
Any ideas whats going on there?

Also, captcha: GODLINESS thats awesome :D

[Renee]

Hello All: It looks like the IRS is moving rather swiftly this year. I filed 1/30 at around noon and was accepted around 5:00 pm the same day. WMR status bar says “return received”…
I think we may get deposits in about 7 days! *fingers crossed for all of us*

[PM]

another.. they all say the same thing pretty much. This was also a reason for the delay last year too

[Nisha]

Hi, I filed on the 28th. accepted the 30th. I have a DD of 2/4 on today.. Hope this helps someone!

[Kristina(253)]

I am locked out of WMR lol What a shock! Happens to me every year, don’t think I’ll ever get back in as I keep checking every 15 mins.

UTAH Mine are MIA too. I was accepted about the same time as you. IRS didn’t give me any information when I call after it was saying it could not locate or I input wrong information (this was after it was already accepted), then later yesterday evening it was back up and working still at the processing level. This morning it was still processing and I checked mine after reading your statement and it is lost again. Let’s just hope that next time it work it has a DD.

I did read an article today on how they are delaying some to make sure there is no identity theft and it should only delay those that they take an extra close look at by a day or two. This would make sense on mine anyhow. This year I get to claim my daughter and grand kids (who she claimed and filed alone last year). Then one of my grandkids was just born this year (and he is disabled).. so I think I may have meet the “red flag” requirements to cause an extra eyeball on my return. Not sure what your situation is, but from what I hear and see the ones that are going through pretty quick don’t are single 1040EZ filers that have filed in the past and have not other dependents, no EIC, etc. So they are very simple returns.

Serena, the IRS was suppose to start processing ON the 17th, so people filed earlier than that. Then the IRS was delayed and gave 30th date. I think they pushed the date out to give them so screw up room. Anyhow, they started accepting some returns on the 23, a week earlier than what they said they would.

[serena]

I thought the IRS wasn’t accepting returns until 1/30/13. How is or that so many people filed before that date. I am confused. I just did mine today and they were accepted today.

[whitneyf]

Well I’m glad I’m not the only one then. I was freaking out thinking something was wrong with my return. Just curious anyone tried to order transcripts yet? I couldn’t.

[Anonymous]

Yay for you!! I hope mine DD’s soon.

[Anxiously waiting]

I am a 26’er I am still in the processing stage. I had really hope to have DD this morning. Bummer

[Shawn]

Filed on the 24th. No special forms, just child tax credit and EIC. Accepted 1-30 @ about 1pm. WMR says “processing”

[Kristina(253)]

Ok so obviously no DD’s for us 1/30’s. I don’t have this morning. Will check back later.

[Anonymous]

I filed 1/15 with TT and got accepted 1/25. I checked WMR yesterday morning and it said 2/1 my refund was going to the bank. Then checked again in the afternoon and it said it couldn’t find my information. I was bummed. I just checked again today and it’s showing my refund going to the bank on 2/1 and says it should be in my account by 2/6. I not gonna check again today because I don’t want to jinx it. And they only update once a day anyway.

[Anonymous]

Same here, Filed 1/29 and was accepted 1/30 WMR says the generic processing your return with 21 day message for me also. I have the status bar at the top. Just hoping it doesn’t take the full 21 days, but in past years it was always faster than the quoted time I was given, hopefully it’s the same case this year. Will update if I just so happen to get a DD

[Utah]

Has anyone had better luck today? I’m really starting to panic! I filed 1/10 Married/joint with four children and no education form, accepted 1/24 11:53pm. I was in process all day yesterday. Today WMR tells me I’m putting in wrong info, 800# says processing, and IRS representative said “we just started processing yesterday, check WMR for up to date information.” I can’t order transcripts either.

[cupcake]

It was in a comment on their fb page! I am hoping it isn’t the case!

[PM]

What filing status etc did all of you that are receiving DD dates do? Single, Married, Head of Household. etc? Any dependents?

[Shan]

I filed yesterday and was accepted a few hours later. No DD yet, have the IRS processing bar. Was told by TT it could take up to a week for my refund to be approved by the IRS and once it is I would have a DD date.

[PM]

Oh No Cupcake, that happened to me last year. I was a lucky one to go through the system test run and the unlucky one to still be in the system when it crashed. It took 2 months before I got my refund. Was that recent blog on TurboTax (hoping it was from last year).

Mine still didn’t update either and my daughter who filed on 1/19 still hasn’t even been accepted yet.

[Dannie]

Mine was accepted 1/29/13 and still says processing. Sooooo hoping it gets DD on 2/4 or 2/5 that’d be SAWEEEET Good luck everyone

[brokencgirl]

HI club 28’rs I filed with tax act on the 24th (afternoon), got accepted around 3:00 pm on the 28th. Still getting processing blah, blah, blah, 21 days, and more blah.. last year all over again. BTW payed my fee upfront for my state return, used free federal and it’s going straight from IRS to BOA

[Anonymous]

On the TT facebook someone said they were accepted 1/28 and has a DD of 2/5

[TaxPayer]

Filed: 1/25
Accepted: 1/27
WMR shows Refund Approved: 1/31
DD: 2/4
Filed Through? Tax Act
Fees paid through Republic Bank. They are not showing as of 1/31.

Frankly, I’m impressed with how smoothly the IRS is processing this year. Last year was a nightmare for all involved.

[Anonymous]

I cant get on WMR, like I must be locked out :( and when I call the 800# it tells methe same thing that they received it and still processing :(

[Anonymous]

And now it’s busted again. It shows my info is incorrect. You would think by now they would have the bugs squashed.

[cupcake]

Filed with Taxslayer on 1/15
Accepted 1/24 (mid afternoon)
Paid fees upfront
WMR still giving me the 21 day message. I just read somewhere that the IRS system crashed yesterday and that may cause some refunds to be delayed until early April. I read that on Turbo Tax, one of the reps said it.

[IRSStalker2012]

accepted on 1/28. WMR shows that it is processing and that I should see it within 21 days. Same info when I call the hotline

[stillwaiting]

I’m a 28er and my status is still showing “will receive refund in 21 days” hopefully will see a DD tomorrow

[Brandy]

Filed yesterday 1/30 with H&R Block at home. Got email this morning the return was accepted by the IRS. IRS website says processing.

[Jessica]

Wmr didn’t update for me over night.

[Anonymous]

Filed and accepted 1/30. WMR shows processing with 21 day message. Hopefully I’ll see an update in the next day or two.

[Amanda]

I filed through HR BLOCK online and was accepted on 1/30. I checked the WMR and it says still processing but I do not have that status bar that so many people have when I check mine. Anyone have a clue why? I am hoping that since there is not a status bar that means that they have not updated the system today…

[whitneyf]

Filed 1/12 with HRB Online. Accepted 1/30 at 10am CST. Still processing. UGH!!!! WTH?!

[k.michelle]

I got accepted on the 25th and mine still shows processing. I borrowed some money from my mother and I need to pay her back soon. She needs her money for her medicine. I thought it would be here by now. Damn

[Theresa]

Filed 1/25, accepted 1/27. Just received the following on WMR:
Your tax refund is scheduled to be sent to your bank on February 4, 2013.
If your refund is not credited to your account by February 9, 2013, check with your bank to see if it has been received.
