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.

I am just hoping we have ours next week so we can get things paid off before we move to another state in two weeks. Reply I filed on the 29th. It was approved the 30th and shows I will have my refund by the 12th. Nothing yet so I hope it will be there tomorrow. Reply And nothing has changed.

NO explanation! Reply We were accepted on the 29th and are still sitting on the accepted bar. I can’t order transcripts. Turbo Tax is useless in explaining this process to me. I don’t understand how people who filed on the 4th are getting their money back well before those of us who filed earlier. UGGGHHHH Reply Hello; I filed and was accepted on Feb 2. I was able to finally order transcripts on yesterday. However as of 7:00 am I am still stuck in processing on wmr… Not sure what’s going on this year and a lot of the theories regarding timing of refunds etc from last week are starting to down the drain this week! *I am hoping it’s a system error and I recieve my refund tomorruw or Friday. Any feedback is welcome! Reply What is going on with the transcript ordering number its been busy!!! Reply Can someone pls tell me why ppl are ordering transcripts? Does it say something about current taxes? Reply Yjefferson– when you are able to order your current year (2013) tax transcript, it “usually” means your refund was approved and that you will soon have a DDD. HOWEVER, that is not a guarantee…. Yjefferson: If you can order your tax transcript for 2013, then you know your deposit will be made soon after since it shows they have approved your 2013 tax return. You know, once approved, the money can’t be far behind 🙂 I was able to order my transcripts on 2/10. I still dnt have a ddd @ madelin.. i was accepted on 1/28 and my ddd is 2/12.. its gonna be a while so just chill and wait Reply Anyone with update Reply I have submitted mine since 1/31 and it’s still the same getting worried Reply Hello I am in Texas and I filed on 2-2-14 got accepted on 2-2-14 and still in the processing stage. I have family who filed after me and have a DDD of 2-12-14…so frustrating and I’m not able to order transcript Reply Hello Karen…I too am from Texas and I filed on 01/31& was accepted/received by IRS on 02/01….Unfortunately this is as far as it has gotten. I even called the treasury offsite line to see if there were any debts that I didn’t know of associated with my SS# and there is not. Can’t understand why this is taking so long but one thing I do know it has had me on pins & needles for way to long and I will be glad when this whole ordeal is over! Reply I know Cotrina its very frustrating. I also be glad when this is over Filed and was accepted 2/5. Ordered transcripts friday and got my ddd (2/12)the next day(Saturday). Today my funds were sent to Santa Barbra bank to take out the TurboTax fees and was sent to my bank today. I bank with usaa so funds should post tonight or in the morning. Hope this helps Reply I filed EIC, head of household, schedule c, 1098 and claimed a child Reply My taxes were received on January 31,2014 today is 2-11-14 and they still say processing can someone tell my why it’s taking so long to process. Reply I filed on the 29th of Jan and its now the 11th of feb..no refund yet and not been approved yet so you guys are not alone on this I even called the IRS they gave me no info except it could take 3 weeks to get my money but a lot of people I knowdid there taxes after me and got there money yesterday….very stressed about this but you have no choice to wait and see what the hold up is?

I still.have no change still being processed:( Reply I filed on the 3rd of February. I haven’t heard anything. I have been processing since that day ànd no DD. Every time I try to order my transcript it says the information is incorrect. This is so frustrating. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Reply Last year I filed at the begining of Feb and I did not get a refund until the middle of May!!! This year I filed on 2/3 accepted on 2/4 and still no DDD. I’m worried! Reply How cabin get a date?I filled on the 28 the its accepted it on the 3Rd but still on the first bar with no SF any idea? Reply I called and spoke to a representative this morning because I have a dd of 2/12. She basically told me that date is not in stone. They have 21 days period. I kept asking her so we should not go by the WAR and she kept saying they have 21 days. I asked her so the message states that if I don’t get my refund by 2/17 to call back she said they can’t pull up information for 21 days after you have filed electronically. This is something! The message says that you should get your refund By the 12th not on the 12th. Wow! Reply Hello; I filed and was accepted on Feb 2. I was able to finally order transcripts on yesterday. However as of 7:00 am I am still stuck in processing on wmr… Not sure what’s going on this year and a lot of the theories regarding timing of refunds etc from last week are starting to down the drain this week! *I am hoping it’s a system error and I recieve my refund tomorruw or Friday. Any feedback is welcome! Reply Has anybody gotten a dd during the day? I did mine at h&r block and have a ddd of 2-12 Reply Is the irs line updating in central time? Reply Anybody received their refund with dd 02/12? My sister had dd02/10 and got hers 02/07 so I’m hoping to get mine early as well! Reply My money is in sbbt bank because I had turbotax take fees out of my refund… Could have had it if I paid upfront Reply I had them take it out of my refund also, how do you know it is sbbt bank? Do you know when you will receive it? THe IRS website said it was sent but its not in my bank. Oh well, still no change. Submitted on the 28th and still in the first block. I gotta laugh to keep from crying. This is so aggravating especially since I can’t get any answers. My mother in law’s was submitted right after mines(also on the 28th) and she received hers on the 6th. Reply I have been there since 1-27.. This is dumb Reply Hello, I just checked no update !! Im still in thr the 1st phase ive been there since 02/05!! Getting worried Reply gm madelin, im in the exact same position. filed 2/3 got accepted 2/5 and no progress or ddd. im concerned as well.

My husband and I filed on 1/25 and accepted on 1/28 but still in processing. However, when I called the irs once everyone who filed after me are already getting theirs she was very polite and told me that all she could see was that it is in processing. I even called to make sure we didn’t owe any money and of course we don’t so I think their new systems sucks and they should go back to the old system. My husband and I have been on the first bar since we filed on 2/1. Our state is being dd tomorrow. He’s getting angry and im just getting even more impatient. We had a friend who filed hers and was accepted 1/27 and she got hers this past friday. We’re just as irritated as everyone else wondering whats going on! Reply You have to be patient it can take up to 21days for your return to be process. Just have to set back and wait notthing can really be done. Reply My refund was accepted 2/7/14 however i have no status bar at all on the website. It just says that their is no information available. Has anyone had this issue? Reply Filed on 1/31/14 check was deposited in account on 2/7/14 still not posting in my account wtf Reply I am confused i filed on the 30 was accepted according to taxact on 1/31 but didn’t see it on wmr till 2/3. I was able to order my return transcript tonight finally for the first time, but still not even showing approved yet. Is it possible to still not get approved no time soon? Reply Anytime that your able to order your return transcript, that means there about done processing your return so you should see your money soon, I know last year when I ordered my transcript, I got a DDD in a day or two and then my money came, your getting closer Reply I was able to order my transcripts last Thursday and still have not gotten a ddd yet. I filed on 1-23 and received on 1-28. I received my state late Friday but have not gotten past the first bar on wmr. Has anyone from the ATL area recieved their refund or atleast have a ddd by now if you filed on the 31st like i did? Im still sitting at the first bar on WMR and the irs agents over the phn keep saying i have to wait 21 freaking days… uh so stressing!! :-[ Reply Boy is there alot of frustrated and impatient ppl on here…haha…dont worry though…im jumping on the bus right with yall. my stress is thru the roof right now.I’ve gone thru so much to try to get to the bottom of why my refund has already tooken so long. I filed on the 31st,my sister on the 30th and she recieved hers on the 7th. Only 5 business days!!! my brother in law filed on the 7th and his is already approved and scheduled to be sent to his bank on the 12th.it seems like everyone around me but ME is getting their refunds and flashing it in my face. not literally but i feel that way. days seem like weeks for me right now. but after finding out some additional information. i here that if you have any offsets then it may very well be the reason why its taking longer than usual. i however do owe 1,500 to the Texas Attorney General. So best thing to do is just be patient and investigate to why your refund is being delayed. good luck and happy spending.!! 🙂 Reply « Older Comments Newer Comments » Leave a ReplyCancel reply Browse Related Articles Tax Refunds Where’s My Tax Refund?

My taxes were received on January 31,2014 today is 2-11-14 and they still say processing can someone tell my why it’s taking so long to process. Reply
I filed on the 29th of Jan and its now the 11th of feb..no refund yet and not been approved yet so you guys are not alone on this I even called the IRS they gave me no info except it could take 3 weeks to get my money but a lot of people I knowdid there taxes after me and got there money yesterday….very stressed about this but you have no choice to wait and see what the hold up is? Reply
wow im very NERVOUS me and another person filed with the same tax person back to back maybe 20 min apart on Feb 4pm we both were accepted on the fifth.He got APPROVED ON the 10th and a date for the 12th!! I still.have no change still being processed:( Reply
I filed on the 3rd of February. I haven’t heard anything. I have been processing since that day ànd no DD. Every time I try to order my transcript it says the information is incorrect. This is so frustrating. Can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong? Reply
Last year I filed at the begining of Feb and I did not get a refund until the middle of May!!! This year I filed on 2/3 accepted on 2/4 and still no DDD. I’m worried! Reply
How cabin get a date?I filled on the 28 the its accepted it on the 3Rd but still on the first bar with no SF any idea? Reply
I called and spoke to a representative this morning because I have a dd of 2/12. She basically told me that date is not in stone. They have 21 days period. I kept asking her so we should not go by the WAR and she kept saying they have 21 days. I asked her so the message states that if I don’t get my refund by 2/17 to call back she said they can’t pull up information for 21 days after you have filed electronically. This is something! The message says that you should get your refund By the 12th not on the 12th. Wow! Reply
Hello; I filed and was accepted on Feb 2. I was able to finally order transcripts on yesterday. However as of 7:00 am I am still stuck in processing on wmr… Not sure what’s going on this year and a lot of the theories regarding timing of refunds etc from last week are starting to down the drain this week! *I am hoping it’s a system error and I recieve my refund tomorruw or Friday. Any feedback is welcome! Reply
Anybody received their refund with dd 02/12? My sister had dd02/10 and got hers 02/07 so I’m hoping to get mine early as well! Reply
My money is in sbbt bank because I had turbotax take fees out of my refund… Could have had it if I paid upfront Reply
I had them take it out of my refund also, how do you know it is sbbt bank? Do you know when you will receive it? THe IRS website said it was sent but its not in my bank.
Oh well, still no change. Submitted on the 28th and still in the first block. I gotta laugh to keep from crying. This is so aggravating especially since I can’t get any answers. My mother in law’s was submitted right after mines(also on the 28th) and she received hers on the 6th. Reply
Hello, I just checked no update !! Im still in thr the 1st phase ive been there since 02/05!! Getting worried Reply
gm madelin, im in the exact same position. filed 2/3 got accepted 2/5 and no progress or ddd. im concerned as well. Reply
Today is 14 days since my return was accepted early and still no approval or DDD. Not sure what’s up Reply
You aren’t alone Madelin…..my return was accepted on 2/5 and I’m still “in process” as well. This stinks. :o( Reply
Same here..accepted on 1/31 and still on the first bar. I didn’t start looking for my refund until this morning. Thought by now it would have moved to the second stage.
I have also when I called the irs yesterday they lady was rude and said she could give no information
Same here! I submitted on the 26th of January and it’s still in the first stage. Shouldn’t it have moved at least to processing by now?
im 2/12 but have not received money yet but theres this site called “i got my refund” and there is a lot of ppl with 2/12 and got theirs this morning .
Good Morning If you didn’t pay your fees up front and is having it taking out of your taxes and you filed through turbo tax you can go to Santa Barbara Bank and see if your funds have been sent. I have a date of the 12th and they have mine and is sending to my bank today. Hope This Helps
Santa Barbara has received my refund and I should receive it today. DD date of 2/12. The process is a long one but everything will go through.
CISC.SBTPG.COM CLICK ON MY ACCOUNT AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND PUT IN YOUR INFORMATION. U WILL NEED TO PUT IN THE AMOUNT OF YOUR RETUN ALSO. THE SYSTEM WILL TELL YOU IF THEY RECEIVED YOUR REFUND FROM THE IRS IF THEY DID THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE BREAK DIEN
Marie Did you check your bank or Santa Barbara Bank? If it’s your bank it won’t show if your bank doesn’t do pending post..
I have a ddd of 2/12. Check sbbt a minute ago and they have receive my funds from IRS. Just waiting for my bank (Wells Fargo) to release to me.
I have a DD of 2/12 & I went through h&r block & getting a emerald card but still stuck on approved. Anyone else getting a emerald card with DD of 2/12?
I checked Santa Barbara Bank and all I get is an error message. Is anyone else having the same problem?
Mine has a DDD of 2/12 I checked SBB and it says no record was found..I called my bank and there is no pending post..anyone else with this problem???
Kelly im on the same page through h&r block emerald card an no dd just accepted please let me know if u get your refundd
I did mine on the 29th and I’m still in the 1st status as well…and my friends got there’s already…I called and got no info so I guess its a matter of being patient somthing I’m not lol Reply
You are not alone in the impatient department. My husband and I filed on 1/25 and accepted on 1/28 but still in processing. However, when I called the irs once everyone who filed after me are already getting theirs she was very polite and told me that all she could see was that it is in processing. I even called to make sure we didn’t owe any money and of course we don’t so I think their new systems sucks and they should go back to the old system.
My husband and I have been on the first bar since we filed on 2/1. Our state is being dd tomorrow. He’s getting angry and im just getting even more impatient. We had a friend who filed hers and was accepted 1/27 and she got hers this past friday. We’re just as irritated as everyone else wondering whats going on! Reply
You have to be patient it can take up to 21days for your return to be process. Just have to set back and wait notthing can really be done. Reply
My refund was accepted 2/7/14 however i have no status bar at all on the website. It just says that their is no information available. Has anyone had this issue? Reply
I am confused i filed on the 30 was accepted according to taxact on 1/31 but didn’t see it on wmr till 2/3. I was able to order my return transcript tonight finally for the first time, but still not even showing approved yet. Is it possible to still not get approved no time soon? Reply
Anytime that your able to order your return transcript, that means there about done processing your return so you should see your money soon, I know last year when I ordered my transcript, I got a DDD in a day or two and then my money came, your getting closer Reply
I was able to order my transcripts last Thursday and still have not gotten a ddd yet. I filed on 1-23 and received on 1-28. I received my state late Friday but have not gotten past the first bar on wmr.
Has anyone from the ATL area recieved their refund or atleast have a ddd by now if you filed on the 31st like i did? Im still sitting at the first bar on WMR and the irs agents over the phn keep saying i have to wait 21 freaking days… uh so stressing!! :-[ Reply
Boy is there alot of frustrated and impatient ppl on here…haha…dont worry though…im jumping on the bus right with yall. my stress is thru the roof right now.I’ve gone thru so much to try to get to the bottom of why my refund has already tooken so long. I filed on the 31st,my sister on the 30th and she recieved hers on the 7th. Only 5 business days!!! my brother in law filed on the 7th and his is already approved and scheduled to be sent to his bank on the 12th.it seems like everyone around me but ME is getting their refunds and flashing it in my face. not literally but i feel that way. days seem like weeks for me right now. but after finding out some additional information. i here that if you have any offsets then it may very well be the reason why its taking longer than usual. i however do owe 1,500 to the Texas Attorney General. So best thing to do is just be patient and investigate to why your refund is being delayed. good luck and happy spending.!! 🙂 Reply
