We know you work hard for your money and wanted to answer some of the most common questions we see about the issuance of tax refunds. Here is a breakdown of how your tax return will progress through 3 stages with the IRS -“Return Received”, “Return Approved”, and “Refund Sent” once you e-file and where you can go to check your refund status so you understand “Where’s My Refund?”: Refund Process Start checking status 24 – 48 hours after e-file – Once you e-file with direct deposit, you can start checking the status of your return 24 – 48 hours after you e-file on the IRS Where’s My Refund tool. Return Received Notice within 24 – 48 hours after e-file – The IRS Where’s My Refund tool will show “Return Received” status once they begin processing your tax return. You will not see a refund date until the IRS finishes processing your tax return and approves your tax refund. Status change from “Return Received” to “Refund Approved” – Once the IRS finishes processing your tax return and confirms your tax refund is approved, your status will change from “Return Received” to “Refund Approved”. Sometimes the change in status can take a few days, but it could take longer and a date will not be provided in Where’s My Refund? until your tax return is processed and your tax refund is approved. Where’s My Refund? tool shows refund date – The IRS will provide an actual refund date once your status moves to “Refund Approved”. The IRS issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in 21 days or less. Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent” – You’re now closer to your biggest tax refund! If the status in Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent”, the IRS has sent your tax refund to your financial institution for direct deposit. It can take 1 to 5 days for your financial institution to deposit funds into your account. If you requested that your tax refund be mailed, it could take several weeks for your check to arrive. Here are more answers to your common questions about your tax refund: Will I see a date right away when I check status in “Where’s My Refund”? Where’s My Refund will not give you a date until your tax return is received, processed, and your tax refund is approved by the IRS It’s been longer than 21 days since the IRS has received my tax return and I have not received my tax refund. What’s happening? Some tax returns take longer than others to process depending on your tax situation. Some of the reasons it may take longer are incomplete information, an error, or the IRS needs to review it further. What other sources can I use to check my refund status? Once you have e-filed your tax return with TurboTax, you can check your status using MyTurboTax. You can even check your status on the go from your mobile device using TurboTax free app MyTaxRefund. If you haven’t e-filed your taxes yet, you can start today. You may even be able to e-file your federal tax return for free and have your biggest tax refund in your pocket within 21 days.

Reply I filled on 1/28 accepted on 1/30 no dd yet. Friends and family members filling after me have already gotten their refund. What did they do different? They did not use TT. I did some research and it seems the majority of people having issues used TT. I believe they know something and are covering it up. I have been a long time user of them but I think this is the last time Reply Has anyone who used TT and the fees taken out of the Fed Refund able to use the Santa Barbara thing? If so, how close to the refund date were you able to check. I have a 2/12 DDD and nothing is coming up. Do you enter your SSN with dashes or without? Thank you all! Reply I entered my information and it said they had not received my refund yet. I have a DD of 2/12 also. What I did not realize is they take $91+ in fees and taxes from the refund in addition to the turbo tax fee. Maybe I read it wrong but that’s what I interpreted. Not very happy about that. Reply they took $100 from me and last year it was $80 I just ordered my transcript…I hope that means I will get my ddd soon. I was also accepted on 1/31/14 and wmr shows received still. Reply To all who are anxious to get their refunds…..I had the same problem. I filed on January 20, got accepted on the 29. I just got approved. When I called to figure out why it was processing as long as it did, the rep told me that tax returns are processed in batches. They have different batches each day being processed. You just have to wait til you fall into one of the batches. It’s hard to wait but the rep told me they are getting alot of calls and those calls hold them up from processing tax returns. So you just have to be patient. Reply I meant 27th and I am still processing and can’t order transcripts Reply Me too. No transcripts available, wmr says still processing, and nothing new since the 29th when i was accepted. Reply I filed and got accepted on the 27th and my mom filed on the 37 and got a direct deposit date on Sat for 2/12.

Reply Filed on 1/31/2014 wheres my refund displays returns are still processing on first bar, can not order transcript. Starting to get stressed!! whats going on? Reply Me too…. Reply I heard that if you can order account transcript thats a good sign also is this TRUE? Reply Yes, that is true. I did that last year and once I was able to order transcripts, my money was in my account in a few days. Reply What does ddd means and do anyone know if it takes longer to process your returns when you are in college? Reply Direct deposit date. Education credits shouldn’t delay. My sister had them and hers was fine. Reply IRS has to be updating information every hour now, becasue i checked WMR a few hours ago and they had not even received it, then i just check it a few minutes ago and they have received it and it is processing…hope this helps someone Reply i filed on jan9 2014 i thought i could get it faster but still only on the first bar this sucks Reply I just posted a comment on here, and I guess because I said I would no longer be using turbotax products in the future because of the NO HELP I HAVE RECEIVED from them, nor the IRS questioning why my refund has been in the processing status for over a week now that they erased my comment. If they do not post my comment this time, I am going to make a formal complaint against turbotax, and start an anti-turbotax campaign and create my own online blog about this issue. So turbotax employees who monitor this, I advise you to address my questions and not try to sweep them under the rug. I am a paying customer and have been for the last 5 years including this year, so I advise you to help me because not only do I use your service I know ALOT of people who do and this could impact profits for your company. And I assure you your bosses would not like me being treated the way I have been. SO ADDRESS MY QUESTION. Also there was 0% profanity or anything obscene in my post. SO ADDRESS MY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!! Reply Anyone here used the WalMart Money card and had any trouble? Thanks! Reply I have the Walmart Money Card but my DDD is 2/12 so I am not sure yet. But what is happening for you? Reply I am worried I’m not going to get it on 2/12 as they said I am having mine deposited on a Walgreens money card-if it ever gets approved-but I am wondering if that may be the hold up. It is a change from last year and they seem to be leary of any changes you make. Who knows! Reply Yes my friend got hers on there and they’re holding her money and asking for copies of her social security card and ID Reply I have been getting my tax refund direct deposited on my walmart card for years with no problem. Reply Filed my taxes and sent my refund to Kroger card but it will only take a $3000 dollar deposit and refund is more. I didnt know this until after I filed. What will happen now? Reply ? Reply Anyone from Georgia..I got my federal taken for student loans do you think they will take state too..? Reply Has anyone ever had an offset they didn’t have taken from their refund? Reply Yes, it takes a little longer to receive your refund. Reply mine is not showing removed. Owed $600 but it show my refund as the full amount. But wont get it for 2 days so not sure the deposit will match what it says. Reply I filed on 1/18 they received it on 2/5 tried to get transcript and it wouldn’t let me should I be worried? Reply Hello all, I hope this gives you guys some hope out there. I filed January 28 (TurboTax Deluxe) and was accepted. I checked on Saturday on WMR and I have a DD date of 2/12! I’m praying that nothing changes. We have childcare credit and education credit. Hopefully this is good news and hope for others! Reply oh my goodness people….to the people that are “frantic” about the receiving your money….It will get there. The IRS has literally MILLIONS of tax returns to process.. It’s called be patient. If you are THAT dependent on your tax return then I suggest you change your filing status through the rest of the year. Stop spending money before you get it! I’m a single mother so I understand how important extra money can be, but be patient it will get here! I’m reading a lot of people saying their DD date is 2/10 which is today and they still haven’t received their funds, well it can take the bank 1-2 days to process and post to your account. Just becuase they say the DD date is 2/10, doesn’t mean you will have your hot little hands on the money that day. Good Luck everyone! Reply i filed on 1/18 and they accepted them on 2/5 just tried to call and get a transcript and it wouldn’t let me should i be worried? Reply Why cant I order transcript!!! I filed 02/01 got return receive on 02/05 and its been there processing since then!!! What is going on!!! Reply Madelin… I was received & accepted 1/31 at 12:30 am…. still processing. This makes day number 11. No ddd and still on 1 bar. Several people in the same boat. You are only on day 5 so chill out. Reply @Brandi…. yeah I guess its a couple of days compared to you!!! But I have a simple tax return and there some people who gets accepted and approved and has a ddd in a matter of a day or 2 Same here… mine was accepted on 1/30 and and I am still sitting on “Return Received” on the status bar. I called the offset hotline and there is no debt on my ss number. My boyfriend’s return was accepted the day after mine and he has a DDD of 2/13…. not sure what is going on with returns this year. I e-filed on 1/16, was not “received” until 1/30, and it’s now 11 days without being approved. Simple return with a single 1099-R from my retirement and standard deductions…exactly like the previous 12 years since I retired. Mine is so simple, if I had a W-2 instead of a 1099-R, I’d be able fo file 1040-EZ. My niece filed long form on 1/31 and had EIC, child support, gambling winnings, and all kinds of other stuff but was approved 4 days ago with a DDD of 2/12. I was accepted on jan 27th. just got dd today. chill Reply I filed on 1/25 got accepted on 1/28 and I’m still in processing so my suggestion is to take a chill pill if it’s only been a week. Reply Why cant I ord34 Reply I was accepted on January 31st. DD was to be Feb. 6th. Now I get this “There is a delay in processing your tax return and your expected refund date may have changed”. There isn’t a new DD date. I called the IRS and she insisted there was “no way” a DD could happened so fast. I tried telling here that has in years past and she was no help. She said call back after 21 days and she would look into. She said it was a website glitch….really? a website glitch???? Reply How did you speak with a live rep Reply @Shaunta-If you press the options for a business or other sort it will get you to a live person. Don’t click on the options for checking on you refund because it will bring you to the automated system…………Hope this helps!!! I just called the # they gave me when i got the “There is a delay in processing your tax return and your expected refund date may have changed” message Any updates? I’m in the same boat and was told I was randomly selected for verification. The rep at the irs told me to wait 2-3 more. wks for refund. She also said never to file early. Just messes up the system. Reply Anyone know if you are notified if you have a lien or garnishment on your taxes? I have a DD for 2/12 according to IRS. But I also have an outstanding student loan that I am trying to get caught up on. Would I have notification from IRS of a DD if student loans were going to take my refund? Reply Filed 1/31 and accepted the same day still on one bar as of noon today. And can’t order transcripts either. New tax year same old waiting wondering game. Last year mine was held up about 5 weeks because they had send me a letter and I had to call in and verify that I was who I said I was. Year before that it was delayed a couple of weeks because I had on offset with a paper check. Of course my ex husband- who won’t buy one darn thing for the kids-already has his! Why can’t it ever just go smoothly? Reply I don’t know Karen. I have same date as you with one stinking bar as well. Bleh. Reply does anyone know how to reach a live person at the irs. I keep calling only to get automated stuff and can never speak to someone. Reply @Tina-f you press the options for a business or other sort it will get you to a live person. Don’t click on the options for checking on you refund because it will bring you to the automated system…………Hope this helps!!! Reply 18008291040. Just hit the prompt for english, and then just keep hitting 0 and eventually youll get someone. Be prepared to wait hours. Reply Wondering if the IRS will take your tax check for CS, Student Loans, other goverment debt, etc.? Call this #. All you need is your social. 18003043107 (all automated) If you already filed it will tell you how much they are taking, if any. Reply Terry: The IRS can take your taxes if you owe any kind of government debt. I was wondering the same about my refund check, because I owe Illinois state taxes, so I called that 800 number a couple of nights ago. So far, I am in the clear! As the recording says though, make sure you check that as often as you can, because they get new names with garnishments daily. Hope that helps. Reply Hey all you New Yorkers! I got a dd of Feb 18. It literally just changed so it looks like NY is moving along. 🙂 Reply Does anyone know what time the IRS sends deposits? I have a deposit date of 2/11 going to a WM money card. Walmart says I have no pending deposits. I’ve always sent it to my bank before and it would be pending a couple days in advance. I’m freakimg out it might not come. :(( Reply I filed the 31st was accepted the next day but I am still processing.. I am scared to death something is wrong called the number and it says still processing is anyone else having this problem? Reply Thought I would update I called about my transcript and the lady was very nice she said it is set to release the 20th 🙁 she said she saw no errors so I guess the waiting game continues Reply what number did you call for your transcript? how did you reach a live person? ive called and cant get anyone. @Alexis- what is set to release on the 20th? I’m asking because I filed since the 31st and I’m still on one status bar Yes, Having that problem as well. Everyone else that I did in my house is showing accepted and a date for deposit. Mine is not and I did it the same date as the others. Reply I’m having the same problem as you guys. Mine has been processing every since 1/31 and still hasn’t been approved. I did my boyfriends the same day he was accepted the same day as mine and he has a ddd of 2/13. I filed the 20th accepted the 27th and still nothing!!! talk to some jerk today and he didnt want to even check for me Reply I had this problem last year. I had to call and talk to them and that’s when it updated and I got my refund a few days later. I filed on 31st of last month. Got an update on the 7th. DDD on 2/12. Could just be late! Reply Me too….yes Reply I was accepted on 2/2, but not approved yet. I called the hotline to see if I could order transcript and it said it was not processed yet. I am worried I messed something up! I have never had this happen before. =( Will I be notified if something is wrong and given a chance to fix it? Reply Yesif you made a mistake on your refunf u should be able to fix it i entered my childs birthday wrong and go a email saying my income tax was rejected by the irs because i enter my sons birth year wrond i fixed it and resend it to the irs and got an email about 30min after and youtaxes was accepted by the irs but that was feb 2 and my status on wmr is still at one bar so hopefully this week wil get a dd date Reply Mine was accepted on the 2nd to and still not approved yet. Reply I have a dd date of 2/10 which is today but no $$ in bank yet?????? Reply I read somewhere some banks hold it for a day check again tom good luck 🙂 Reply Hi. Did you have it deposited to a bank account or prepaid card? Walmart Moneycard? Reply i have a date of 2/10/2014 and still have not got any funds in my account!!! please help Reply Some banks hold for a day check back tom.good luck 🙂 Reply My tax refund was accepted on 2/5/2014 on the website it had the status bar and now the status bar is gone and it only states that its being processed. What does this mean, why is my status bar gone? Reply anyone with the same problem??? I called the hotline to order the transcript for 2013 and it said it will be send with 5-10 days does this mean it has been processed?? Reply Patty Once I got that message the next day It was approved for me. With a DDD. Hope this helps Did u get a ddd yet? He said that on his it did but mine just says its being processed, no bar still..I ordered my transcripts yesterday and today still no DDD 🙁 Mines is still saying processing also. I ordered my transcript yesterday night. When this happened to me, they had to reduce my refund to settle another debt. So they were processing it and about 5 days later I had new refund amount and a ddd of 2/12. Reply Grateful, well they deducted the amount that was owed to my ex husband since it was for the 2011 refund and we were still together. He said his is scheduledfor a dd 2/12 but with the new balance..do you think its going to show a ddd for my refund until its cleared from his refund? Did it show a new refund amount on the irs website? you will be delayed up to 11 months Reply filed & accepted 1/31. NO DDD yet. Still one bar. Nothing at sbbt. I’m so sad Reply Brandi, what was your filing status?

And I assure you your bosses would not like me being treated the way I have been. SO ADDRESS MY QUESTION. Also there was 0% profanity or anything obscene in my post. SO ADDRESS MY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!

I have the Walmart Money Card but my DDD is 2/12 so I am not sure yet. But what is happening for you? Reply
I am having mine deposited on a Walgreens money card-if it ever gets approved-but I am wondering if that may be the hold up. It is a change from last year and they seem to be leary of any changes you make. Who knows! Reply
Yes my friend got hers on there and they’re holding her money and asking for copies of her social security card and ID Reply
I have been getting my tax refund direct deposited on my walmart card for years with no problem. Reply
Filed my taxes and sent my refund to Kroger card but it will only take a $3000 dollar deposit and refund is more. I didnt know this until after I filed. What will happen now? Reply
Anyone from Georgia..I got my federal taken for student loans do you think they will take state too..? Reply

I filed on 1/18 they received it on 2/5 tried to get transcript and it wouldn’t let me should I be worried? Reply
Hello all, I hope this gives you guys some hope out there. I filed January 28 (TurboTax Deluxe) and was accepted. I checked on Saturday on WMR and I have a DD date of 2/12! I’m praying that nothing changes. We have childcare credit and education credit. Hopefully this is good news and hope for others! Reply
oh my goodness people….to the people that are “frantic” about the receiving your money….It will get there. The IRS has literally MILLIONS of tax returns to process.. It’s called be patient. If you are THAT dependent on your tax return then I suggest you change your filing status through the rest of the year. Stop spending money before you get it! I’m a single mother so I understand how important extra money can be, but be patient it will get here! I’m reading a lot of people saying their DD date is 2/10 which is today and they still haven’t received their funds, well it can take the bank 1-2 days to process and post to your account. Just becuase they say the DD date is 2/10, doesn’t mean you will have your hot little hands on the money that day. Good Luck everyone! Reply
i filed on 1/18 and they accepted them on 2/5 just tried to call and get a transcript and it wouldn’t let me should i be worried? Reply
Why cant I order transcript!!! I filed 02/01 got return receive on 02/05 and its been there processing since then!!! What is going on!!! Reply
Madelin… I was received & accepted 1/31 at 12:30 am…. still processing. This makes day number 11. No ddd and still on 1 bar. Several people in the same boat. You are only on day 5 so chill out. Reply
@Brandi…. yeah I guess its a couple of days compared to you!!! But I have a simple tax return and there some people who gets accepted and approved and has a ddd in a matter of a day or 2
Same here… mine was accepted on 1/30 and and I am still sitting on “Return Received” on the status bar. I called the offset hotline and there is no debt on my ss number. My boyfriend’s return was accepted the day after mine and he has a DDD of 2/13…. not sure what is going on with returns this year.
I e-filed on 1/16, was not “received” until 1/30, and it’s now 11 days without being approved. Simple return with a single 1099-R from my retirement and standard deductions…exactly like the previous 12 years since I retired. Mine is so simple, if I had a W-2 instead of a 1099-R, I’d be able fo file 1040-EZ. My niece filed long form on 1/31 and had EIC, child support, gambling winnings, and all kinds of other stuff but was approved 4 days ago with a DDD of 2/12.
I filed on 1/25 got accepted on 1/28 and I’m still in processing so my suggestion is to take a chill pill if it’s only been a week. Reply
I was accepted on January 31st. DD was to be Feb. 6th. Now I get this “There is a delay in processing your tax return and your expected refund date may have changed”. There isn’t a new DD date. I called the IRS and she insisted there was “no way” a DD could happened so fast. I tried telling here that has in years past and she was no help. She said call back after 21 days and she would look into. She said it was a website glitch….really? a website glitch???? Reply
@Shaunta-If you press the options for a business or other sort it will get you to a live person. Don’t click on the options for checking on you refund because it will bring you to the automated system…………Hope this helps!!!
I just called the # they gave me when i got the “There is a delay in processing your tax return and your expected refund date may have changed” message
Any updates? I’m in the same boat and was told I was randomly selected for verification. The rep at the irs told me to wait 2-3 more. wks for refund. She also said never to file early. Just messes up the system. Reply
Anyone know if you are notified if you have a lien or garnishment on your taxes? I have a DD for 2/12 according to IRS. But I also have an outstanding student loan that I am trying to get caught up on. Would I have notification from IRS of a DD if student loans were going to take my refund? Reply
Filed 1/31 and accepted the same day still on one bar as of noon today. And can’t order transcripts either. New tax year same old waiting wondering game. Last year mine was held up about 5 weeks because they had send me a letter and I had to call in and verify that I was who I said I was. Year before that it was delayed a couple of weeks because I had on offset with a paper check. Of course my ex husband- who won’t buy one darn thing for the kids-already has his! Why can’t it ever just go smoothly? Reply
does anyone know how to reach a live person at the irs. I keep calling only to get automated stuff and can never speak to someone. Reply
@Tina-f you press the options for a business or other sort it will get you to a live person. Don’t click on the options for checking on you refund because it will bring you to the automated system…………Hope this helps!!! Reply
18008291040. Just hit the prompt for english, and then just keep hitting 0 and eventually youll get someone. Be prepared to wait hours. Reply
Wondering if the IRS will take your tax check for CS, Student Loans, other goverment debt, etc.? Call this #. All you need is your social. 18003043107 (all automated) If you already filed it will tell you how much they are taking, if any. Reply
Terry: The IRS can take your taxes if you owe any kind of government debt. I was wondering the same about my refund check, because I owe Illinois state taxes, so I called that 800 number a couple of nights ago. So far, I am in the clear! As the recording says though, make sure you check that as often as you can, because they get new names with garnishments daily. Hope that helps. Reply
Hey all you New Yorkers! I got a dd of Feb 18. It literally just changed so it looks like NY is moving along. 🙂 Reply
Does anyone know what time the IRS sends deposits? I have a deposit date of 2/11 going to a WM money card. Walmart says I have no pending deposits. I’ve always sent it to my bank before and it would be pending a couple days in advance. I’m freakimg out it might not come. :(( Reply
I filed the 31st was accepted the next day but I am still processing.. I am scared to death something is wrong called the number and it says still processing is anyone else having this problem? Reply
Thought I would update I called about my transcript and the lady was very nice she said it is set to release the 20th 🙁 she said she saw no errors so I guess the waiting game continues Reply
@Alexis- what is set to release on the 20th? I’m asking because I filed since the 31st and I’m still on one status bar
Yes, Having that problem as well. Everyone else that I did in my house is showing accepted and a date for deposit. Mine is not and I did it the same date as the others. Reply
I’m having the same problem as you guys. Mine has been processing every since 1/31 and still hasn’t been approved. I did my boyfriends the same day he was accepted the same day as mine and he has a ddd of 2/13.
I filed the 20th accepted the 27th and still nothing!!! talk to some jerk today and he didnt want to even check for me Reply
I had this problem last year. I had to call and talk to them and that’s when it updated and I got my refund a few days later. I filed on 31st of last month. Got an update on the 7th. DDD on 2/12. Could just be late! Reply
I was accepted on 2/2, but not approved yet. I called the hotline to see if I could order transcript and it said it was not processed yet. I am worried I messed something up! I have never had this happen before. =( Will I be notified if something is wrong and given a chance to fix it? Reply
Yesif you made a mistake on your refunf u should be able to fix it i entered my childs birthday wrong and go a email saying my income tax was rejected by the irs because i enter my sons birth year wrond i fixed it and resend it to the irs and got an email about 30min after and youtaxes was accepted by the irs but that was feb 2 and my status on wmr is still at one bar so hopefully this week wil get a dd date Reply
My tax refund was accepted on 2/5/2014 on the website it had the status bar and now the status bar is gone and it only states that its being processed. What does this mean, why is my status bar gone? Reply
anyone with the same problem??? I called the hotline to order the transcript for 2013 and it said it will be send with 5-10 days does this mean it has been processed?? Reply
He said that on his it did but mine just says its being processed, no bar still..I ordered my transcripts yesterday and today still no DDD 🙁
When this happened to me, they had to reduce my refund to settle another debt. So they were processing it and about 5 days later I had new refund amount and a ddd of 2/12. Reply
Grateful, well they deducted the amount that was owed to my ex husband since it was for the 2011 refund and we were still together. He said his is scheduledfor a dd 2/12 but with the new balance..do you think its going to show a ddd for my refund until its cleared from his refund?
Brandi I called about a transcript and the lady said it is set to release on the 20th 🙁 I filed the same day as you so I hope this helps Reply
I’m in the same boat Brandi! I filed on 1/31 and still only one bar! I am so frustrated…I hope we see a change soon. Reply
The 20th!? 🙁 Well, it eases my mind to know there are other 1/31’ers in the same boat as me I guess. 🙁 Reply
no Jason it didnt..there is just no bar and it only states that it is being process and it has no codeor no number Reply
I filed 1/30 accepted on 1/31 at 11:49am. Still stuck at one bar! I went to irs2go and was able to order an account transcript but not a return transcript. I know people who filed after me and received their refunds Thursday and Friday by paper check! What’s going on!!!! Reply
I filed on 1/31, Had no response on anything and the service was always down. Checked again this morning WMR on IRS webpage, then FINALLY said it was approved and my DD 2/10. Revised my bank, and money is there!!!
Everyone read this!!! Order your account transcript if u were accepted early within 2 hours u will have a deposit date on TurboTax site mine changed from the 21 day message to February 14 I was accepted on the 24 had all The bars dissapear and all that crap Reply
I cant order transcript and its still processing since 02/05!!! Someone help me, what does this mean? Reply
Do not worry. I was accepted since the 24th of January and I did not get a dd until Feb 6. I ordered transcripts on the 5th. I waited 12 days so 5 days is nothing. Reply
I filed Jan 3 was approved 1/24. My sister did her the same day and she already got a refund. Mine is still saying processing. No DD. When I try yo order the transcript on the phone it says due to your response we can’t process your order. Online it keep saying records don’t match. But both my state and federal have been accepted. Somebody plz help I’m really worried😞😞 Reply
I filed on 01/31 & was accepted on 02/01. I currently still do not have a DDD as of this morning. I want to know if there is a website or phone number available that will allow you to check to see if your refund will be intercepted for any reason. I am so nervous about this whole ordeal as I filed my sons on the same day & he has a DDD of 02/12 (which I am very happy for him that his has not been delayed as mine is). Can anyone with any information or insight please reply back as I need some answers. Reply
Yes the offset number for IRS is 1-800-304-3107. You will put in SS # and it will let u know if u have an offset. Reply
No, but i was thinking the same thing. From what I’m seeing they won’t come in early. It seems like they only did that with the ones on the 10th because it was a weekend. 🙁 Reply
Iittlej Mine is the same day, I’m waiting to see when it’s going dropped. It seems people whom had the date of the 6th took longer but people with the date of the 10th got it sooner.. We shall see Reply
Called the IRS if you filed Head of Household you may be waiting long than expected bc they are appproving returns differently this year. The WMR website is behind and HOH are being reviewed seperately. I filed on the 19th of January, IRS received it on the 26th of January. I was getting frustrated bc Im still processing on the WMR website so I called and asked what was going on.. I hope this helps.. Reply
