E-filed tax returns with direct deposit: E-file with direct deposit is the fastest way to get your federal tax refund. Typically, the IRS expects to issue most tax refunds within 21 days after acceptance if there are no issues. Mailed paper returns: Avoiding a paper return is more important than ever to avoid refund delays, if possible. The IRS cautions if you need your refund quickly do not file on paper. Usually, the IRS says to allow 4 weeks before checking the status of your refund, and that refund processing can take 6 to 8 weeks from the date the IRS receives your return. Tax Refund Processing Start checking status 24 – 48 hours after e-file: Once you have e-filed your tax return, you can check your status using the IRS Where’s My Refund? tool. You will need your Social security number or ITIN, your filing status, and your exact refund amount. 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 need the following information when checking refund status: Social security number or ITIN, your filing status, and your exact federal tax refund amount shown on the tax return. You will not see a tax 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.” The change in status can take a few days, and a tax refund 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 a personalized refund date once your status moves to “Refund Approved.” Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent”: 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 opted to receive your tax refund via mail, it could take several weeks for your check to arrive. Track your refund in TurboTax You could experience delays in receiving your tax refund if your return: Includes errors – The IRS has indicated that your refund could be delayed if the information you provided on your tax return does not match the IRS records. Is incomplete – If you didn’t have all of your documents and filed an inaccurate return Needs further review in general Is affected by identity theft or fraud Includes Earned Income Tax Credit or an Additional Child Tax Credit – Under the Path Act, the IRS cannot issue a refund that includes the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit before mid-February. Includes a Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation PDF, which could take up to 14 weeks to process Tax Refund Status FAQ Will I see a date right away when I check the status in “Where’s My Refund”? The IRS Where’s My Refund? tool will not give you a date until your tax return is received, and 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 include incomplete information, an error, or the IRS may need to review it further. I requested my money be automatically deposited into my bank account, but I was mailed a check. What happened? The IRS is limiting the number of direct deposits that go into a single bank account or prepaid debit card to three tax refunds per year. Your limit may have been exceeded. In addition, for a small number of returns, the IRS decides there may be indications that the bank account on the return is suspicious and they may decide to issue a check instead.

I spoke to a lady that told me the my tax refund was placed on hold and went to get her supervisor to tell her why. When she came back on the line she said it was because I have education tax forms from college (1098-T or 1098-E). She said due to people lying on their taxes last year ALL taxes with education forms have been placed on hold until the IRS recieves all education forms form the school. She said the estimated date that the hold would be removed is the middle of May!!!!! I never recieved anything telling me what was going on! I am not happy at all with taxes this year.

In the beginning I had it to be sent to my account that closed unexpectedly and the bank rejected it. I was told that it was being mailed out on Feb.18th to my home address and I have been looking for it since. So I was wondering exactly how long would it take. For the people that had a direct deposit date your taxes has been direct deposited but your bank sent you refund back to the irs for fraud reasons and now you gotta wait I got a letter telling my this after almost a month waiting now gotta wait 3to4 weeks Reply Do you have a number i can call because i cant speak to anybody just the automated machine… And its has been over a month and i havent recieved my refund or nothing… Reply I did my taxes on 26 of February the irs sent my refund direct deposit my bank sent it back to the irs know I gotta wait for a month for a paper check Reply Hi I did my taxes with turbo tax and it says I will recived it by feb 25 direct deposit and I received some if it today but the whole amount, and I don’t know why but when I look at irs. Gov its says it still have not been sent so should I wait til wednesday to see if get the rest of the money 💰? Reply Hi Demi, Yes, I would wait until then. If there was an adjustment made you will receive a notice from the IRS through the mail. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply Hi so my return said it should be sent to my bank by the feb. 24th , I just checked and irs.gov says it’s still not sent, can I expect it to potentially be there today? I was told i would recieve my refund on the 6th of feb and i did get some of it back. Wheres the rest? lisa now you cant even get through to the irs due to high vol, I cant get an answer from nobody nowhere, I am so upset what can I do now?

Reply My return got accepted on 2/2/15 Abf I was set up for dd. I was suppose to recieve it on 2/17/15 but now it says it’s being sent by mail and won’t be sent till 2/26/15. Why did this happen and how long do I have to wait to get my check now Reply And** Reply Hi Moe, The IRS will send a check if they find the account listed for direct deposit was closed. The IRS is also limiting the amount of direct deposits that go into one bank account or on one debit card this year to 3. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply Today I finally inputed the correct address format to get my transcripts got all the way through the process just to get a response that said,”Contact Identity Protection Specialized Unit” my transcripts are not available. I have been using turbo tax for 5 years now and never had an issue. Will call them tomorrow. Almost positive won’t have my money for another month at least because of this, this sucks. What exactly does that mean, the IRS is limiting the amount of direct deposits per yr to 3? Wouldn’t one person only need just 1 direct deposit from the IRS? Why would someone get 3 direct deposits? Could you be a little more specific with your answers… it would be helpful. Hi T, Some people may do taxes for their kids or someone else in their household and have it deposited in one account. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis I have never used Turbo Tax until this year, I normally used Tax ACT. I have never had a problem with getting my money direct deposit into my savings or checking. I just checked my status and it says my bank returned the deposit and the IRS mailed the check. I called my bank, they looked it up and it does not show anything was tried to be deposited at all. I checked my federal tax forms and my bank info is correct. Whats going on? Hi…. I checked the status on WMR and on the IRS2GO app…. I had an expected day to receive refund but now its saying I’ve entered the wrong information when I try to check it? Any ideas on why it’s doing this? This was my first year to try HR. I was a huge Turbotax user… Looks like going back. Reply How long have you been working for Turbo Tax?! Sounds like a lie to me Reply HR. never let me down too. Always on time. A friend told me to. Try turbo tax blah should nt have listen to her. . Reply *Update* I filed on Turbo tax on 1/28 accepted on 1/28 with estimated return date 2/17 the 21 day mark. I got my state return on 2/5, direct deposit. My IRS started showing accepted then went to still processing, refund date will be given when available. I finally got ahold of the IRS today, they said mine and a TON of other people’s returns got flagged for ID theft and a person had to look at it. He said it’s up to 8 weeks from the day it got stopped and mine was stopped on 2/13 so I should be getting my direct deposit refund between 3/27-4/10. If I’m in financial hardship and going to be evicted or something bad I can call taxpayer advocates. I didn’t get transferred to verify extra info or anything. I never received any notification something was wrong from IRS or anyone. If you call IRS, press 1 for English then 2 then 2 then and so on or you won’t get a live person. IRS -1-800 829-1040 – You can’t call until it’s past your 21 days since your refund was accepted. Taxpayer Advocate – 1-877-777-4778. Hope this helps, I know how stressed I’ve been and still will be waiting but I’m glad to have some information why. Reply how do you reach a live person? Reply I still cant get a live person and it has been a month now Reply So do I call them to verify who I am or will they just process after a certain amount of days Reply Did the returns with education credit earned income and business deductions get held back in the processing. Filed and accepted forms on 2/3/15. States refund expected on 2/26 15. Well what’s the hold up this year. Last year I was forced to file by paper with police reports and affadavids for id theft. Why is it late this year. First yearfor filing with Turbo Tax and used direct deposit. I don’t get it. Thank you Turbo Tax, but please find and get me my refund. Reply I am also still waiting for my DDD. I filed on 1/28/15 and was accepted on 1/29/15. Still just showing processing. No bars on the IRS page, nothing. Called them last Friday 2/21/15 and they said that they didnt get my return until 2/3/15 and that im not past the 21 days. So they recieved it 4 days after turbo tax said they did. So hopefully something will happen this week. I will call 2/24/15 if the bars are still not showing…Its been a frustrating tax season this year so far…. good luck everyone. Reply Please let me know your status with the IRS I used turbo tax and on the same dates as yours. saw the status bar the first week and then it went to processing. call the IRS I cannot reach a live person any suggestions.

Back to “processing” on 2/8 Call Tax Advocate program they are great for getting qualified tax returns back quicker than 4 to 5 months. Good luck. I hope I am not in same boat as you. My filing is still in processing stage and the 21 days are almost up. Thank you. Reply Mine was filed on the February 2nd too. I also haven’t recieved mine. It still says its processing. What number do you call to get a live person at the other end? The numbers I’ve called have all been automated with no choice to talk to someone live. This is my first year trying turbo tax. I’ve always used H&R and always received my taxes deposited quickly. I will probably go back to them next year. Reply I was told the same exact thing. I’m extremely confused Reply I filed both got accepted on 1-29-2015 was ti go direct deposit got fed back in 7 days but state nothing yet state says was approved on Feb. The 3 rd but has not went into my back yet but other people that filed the same day has got there’s 2 weeks ago ? Reply I filled with turbo tax and was accepted on 1/22. Since then my wmr bars have disappeared(for weeks) and states my refund is being processed and a date will be provided when available. I’ve been patiently waiting and now the 21 days have up. What should I do to find out what and when I can expect some kind of update? Reply Sorry it was accepted on 2/2/15 actually Reply My federal came on 2/13/15 and I filed on 2/5 my state was received 2/6/15 and its still not here #whats going on Reply I have been trying to track my refund all night but the code I have been sent to use is always rejected as being incorrect and it is not. How am I supposed to use this tracking feature if I am being incorrectly blocked? Would take less time to just call the bank. Too frustrating to bother with and not the least bit helpful. Reply We filed our taxes through turbotax on Feb 5th got email that it was approved then on the 6th we received another email saying it was rejected because someone had used my daughter’s ssn this has never happened to us before! So we had to mail our returns in on February 9th how long will this take now?? Reply Sorry about the spelling errors its because im typing on the phone. Reply Ok guys so hdre it . For many of u with issues. If u put ur bank info in incorrectly u will get refund via check and it wont be deposiyed the correct day; same goes those of u who used an account with a name different than your own. Also you paid out of your refund for your tax preparation then your refund got your tax preparer before it goes to u, hence causing a delay of up to about 5 days. If you file paper not electronic it will take longer. If you are audited in process then yours will take forever weeks of processing.If you put alot of incorrect it will take more time as well. Now the guy who goy a direct deposit but didnt recieve refund on date. This either because your information wad wrong and they haf to papet mail wich takes like 2 more weeks or your preparer is taking thheir fee from the refund and will direct deposit refund to you after.This is why I do mine myself for via turbo tax. I filed february 9 it was accepted the 10th and deposited 18tj of february. I filed for free so no preparers had hold my refumd and obtain their fees. I saved time and money. With a little efgort and research you can do the same. Reply And don’t forget if you got insurance from healthcare marketplace it can be held up for the 1095-A form that is what happen to me they needed me to send in a copy. But just got my letter after waiting 3 days past the 21 day wait now it will be a 6 to 8 week wait I bet. Reply My refund says that it was accepted and deposited into my bank account on February 11, 2015 when I have no bank account any more! I clicked on wanting a Netspend Visa Card and apparently Turbo Tax defaulted to using my old bank account information from last year and I can’t even remember what bank that was to be able to call them and ask them if they have a deposit pending or not. I would like this error taken care of and even if you have to issue me a check and mail it to me I will wait so you can fix this and get it right!!! But please look into this! I have NO income and am about to be evicted have filed for disabilabity due to medical issues. Reply Hi Kerrie, We can’t look into your account or change your information for your security. The IRS will mail your check we don’t approve or mail the tax refunds. Hopefully you will receive it soon. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply I filled on 2/17/2015 and was acepted on the 18 is the 21 and they haven’t approved it as yet, I hope everything is good with my refund Reply My last comment is “still awaiting moderation” from Feb 12th.. Go figure.. Hey, TurboTax, people are complaining yet you lay in silence! What is all the delay, is it because of the fraud being investigated for some returns through TurboTax? Is the hold up the IRS or TurboTax? It appears the IRS has put a “pause” on all TurboTax filed returns and are offering NO explanation. As a customer of TurboTax, I expect an answer from you, as ultimately YOU are responsible. Please advise us ALL what the delays are about. Thank you Reply Hi Jeff, As you see by this post many comments have been moderated. No, the IRS has not paused taxes filed using TurboTax. You will also see there are people who filed via other methods who are waiting for their refunds as well. There are many reasons tax returns can be delayed. Please see IRS FAQs for more information on why a tax return can take longer than 21 days http://www.irs.gov/Refunds/Tax-Season-Refund-Frequently-Asked-Questions Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply I filed on February 1 2015 it was accepted on February 2nd and my federal return still hasn’t been processed but my state has. Why is it still not processed? Reply Feeling a little irritated over my tax returns this year! I filed my taxes on 2/9/2015, they’ve been received and approved, but are still being processed (not impressed). I just wanna be able to talk to a live person, to get this figured out! Any suggestions? Reply I filled on the 9th of February and it is still being processed this is the last time I will ever use Turbo tax it is the worst experience I have ever had filling my taxes and I will NOT recommend you to anyone all I want is a date of refund and you can’t even give me a answer on that very pathetic for a so called professional tax prep software Reply Hi Clifford, We help you properly file your taxes and transmit them to the IRS, but we don’t review or approve your tax return so we can not give you a date when the IRS will issue your tax refund.

I just want to know where’s my money. Reply Hi Aj, It can take the bank up to 5 days to post your refund. Please check back with them. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply I posted this before and figured id post it again since i see a lot of comments/ concerns about this. i myself filed on 1/22 got rejected, refiled on 2/5 then accepted on 2/6. My bars disappeared on 2/8. Tried to order 2014 return & account transcripts on 2/19, they weren’t available. Tried again on 2/20 they were finally available, meaning my return was processed (i was able to view my account transcripts that shows if they made any changes to your refund /return). The transcript is a short break down of of tax return. Then on 2/21 WMR finally updated and the bars appeared again with a DDD of 2/25. So just because the bars disappear does NOT necessarily mean it is bad it just means they are actually working on your refund! Here is what i found about WHY the “bars or tracker” disappear. Does the “wheres my Refund” always display my refund status with the tracker showing the three steps? No,In some cases the tracker graphic will not be shown if your return is being reviewed prior to step two: “Refund Approved,” and instead an explanation or instructions will be provided depending on the situation. 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. You can find this information on the IRS website: http://www.irs.gov/Refunds/Tax-Season-Refund-Frequently-Asked-Questions HOPE THIS HELPS 🙂 you should also try looking for your transcripts(via online is the best way..they give you two options- mail or online to view transcripts)..i posted the link for that as well if you cant find it Reply THANK YOU for posting this!! I have been able to view my transcripts online for a while now (never tried checking before but when I did it was available) but WMR still says “processing” with no DDD and no bars. I filed on 2/5, accepted on 2/6 and my refund is supposed to be deposited by 2/26, so this makes me cautiously hopeful. Thanks! Reply How do you review your transcript? This has been a great post but I am wondering why when I have called and gotten someone on the phone twice, both ladies told me they did not receive my refund and I would have to re-file, when I did re-file the next day it was rejected stating that I have already filed, so I called the IRS I.D. theft line, a lady over the phone told me that they did in fact receive my refund and that is was processing and to just give it time, now my status bar has disappeared, I do not have a transcript for 2014, and I am truly tired of all of these games. I know now that TurboTax nor is any other tax prep. company involved with this craziness. It is IRS all the way… A lot of people are going through the same issues including myself, no one is to blame other then the IRS/Government they knew that Obama care tax forms would have to be filed with the 2014 taxes and that this would be the first year having this form filed with a person’s taxes and they decided to do a budget cut lay of IRS workers, and play these mind games with people not to mention treating us terribly because we re-elected Obama. In all honesty I will be voting for the next Democrat this does not change or break me playing these games will not work out for them in the end.

I filed my taxes on 2/1/15. I called the IRS today (after my 21 days… and good luck getting ahold of anyone!!!) I spoke to a lady that told me the my tax refund was placed on hold and went to get her supervisor to tell her why. When she came back on the line she said it was because I have education tax forms from college (1098-T or 1098-E). She said due to people lying on their taxes last year ALL taxes with education forms have been placed on hold until the IRS recieves all education forms form the school. She said the estimated date that the hold would be removed is the middle of May!!!!! I never recieved anything telling me what was going on! I am not happy at all with taxes this year. A phone call or letter would have been nice!!!! Not looking at waiting another 3 months to get my return!!!! If anyone knows anyway to get it sooner please help!! Reply

Hello lisa I lost my refund bars and now it’s saying your taxes are still being processed a refund date will be provided when avilable any reason why this is happening help me out! I filed on the 3 approve on the 4th was fine until about 2-3 days ago
Hello turbo tax Lisa, I am writing to see exactly when I will receive my refund through mail. In the beginning I had it to be sent to my account that closed unexpectedly and the bank rejected it. I was told that it was being mailed out on Feb.18th to my home address and I have been looking for it since. So I was wondering exactly how long would it take.
For the people that had a direct deposit date your taxes has been direct deposited but your bank sent you refund back to the irs for fraud reasons and now you gotta wait I got a letter telling my this after almost a month waiting now gotta wait 3to4 weeks Reply
Do you have a number i can call because i cant speak to anybody just the automated machine… And its has been over a month and i havent recieved my refund or nothing… Reply
I did my taxes on 26 of February the irs sent my refund direct deposit my bank sent it back to the irs know I gotta wait for a month for a paper check Reply
Hi I did my taxes with turbo tax and it says I will recived it by feb 25 direct deposit and I received some if it today but the whole amount, and I don’t know why but when I look at irs. Gov its says it still have not been sent so should I wait til wednesday to see if get the rest of the money 💰? Reply
Hi Demi, Yes, I would wait until then. If there was an adjustment made you will receive a notice from the IRS through the mail. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Hi so my return said it should be sent to my bank by the feb. 24th , I just checked and irs.gov says it’s still not sent, can I expect it to potentially be there today?
I was told i would recieve my refund on the 6th of feb and i did get some of it back. Wheres the rest?
lisa now you cant even get through to the irs due to high vol, I cant get an answer from nobody nowhere, I am so upset what can I do now?
just wondering what day you filed and got accepted..? i filed jan. 31 and still havent got a direct deposit date.. Reply
My return got accepted on 2/2/15 Abf I was set up for dd. I was suppose to recieve it on 2/17/15 but now it says it’s being sent by mail and won’t be sent till 2/26/15. Why did this happen and how long do I have to wait to get my check now Reply
Hi Moe, The IRS will send a check if they find the account listed for direct deposit was closed. The IRS is also limiting the amount of direct deposits that go into one bank account or on one debit card this year to 3. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Today I finally inputed the correct address format to get my transcripts got all the way through the process just to get a response that said,”Contact Identity Protection Specialized Unit” my transcripts are not available. I have been using turbo tax for 5 years now and never had an issue. Will call them tomorrow. Almost positive won’t have my money for another month at least because of this, this sucks.
What exactly does that mean, the IRS is limiting the amount of direct deposits per yr to 3? Wouldn’t one person only need just 1 direct deposit from the IRS? Why would someone get 3 direct deposits? Could you be a little more specific with your answers… it would be helpful.
Hi T, Some people may do taxes for their kids or someone else in their household and have it deposited in one account. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis
I have never used Turbo Tax until this year, I normally used Tax ACT. I have never had a problem with getting my money direct deposit into my savings or checking. I just checked my status and it says my bank returned the deposit and the IRS mailed the check. I called my bank, they looked it up and it does not show anything was tried to be deposited at all. I checked my federal tax forms and my bank info is correct. Whats going on?
Hi…. I checked the status on WMR and on the IRS2GO app…. I had an expected day to receive refund but now its saying I’ve entered the wrong information when I try to check it? Any ideas on why it’s doing this? This was my first year to try HR. I was a huge Turbotax user… Looks like going back. Reply
HR. never let me down too. Always on time. A friend told me to. Try turbo tax blah should nt have listen to her. . Reply
*Update* I filed on Turbo tax on 1/28 accepted on 1/28 with estimated return date 2/17 the 21 day mark. I got my state return on 2/5, direct deposit. My IRS started showing accepted then went to still processing, refund date will be given when available. I finally got ahold of the IRS today, they said mine and a TON of other people’s returns got flagged for ID theft and a person had to look at it. He said it’s up to 8 weeks from the day it got stopped and mine was stopped on 2/13 so I should be getting my direct deposit refund between 3/27-4/10. If I’m in financial hardship and going to be evicted or something bad I can call taxpayer advocates. I didn’t get transferred to verify extra info or anything. I never received any notification something was wrong from IRS or anyone. If you call IRS, press 1 for English then 2 then 2 then and so on or you won’t get a live person. IRS -1-800 829-1040 – You can’t call until it’s past your 21 days since your refund was accepted. Taxpayer Advocate – 1-877-777-4778. Hope this helps, I know how stressed I’ve been and still will be waiting but I’m glad to have some information why. Reply
Did the returns with education credit earned income and business deductions get held back in the processing. Filed and accepted forms on 2/3/15. States refund expected on 2/26 15. Well what’s the hold up this year. Last year I was forced to file by paper with police reports and affadavids for id theft. Why is it late this year. First yearfor filing with Turbo Tax and used direct deposit. I don’t get it. Thank you Turbo Tax, but please find and get me my refund. Reply
I am also still waiting for my DDD. I filed on 1/28/15 and was accepted on 1/29/15. Still just showing processing. No bars on the IRS page, nothing. Called them last Friday 2/21/15 and they said that they didnt get my return until 2/3/15 and that im not past the 21 days. So they recieved it 4 days after turbo tax said they did. So hopefully something will happen this week. I will call 2/24/15 if the bars are still not showing…Its been a frustrating tax season this year so far…. good luck everyone. Reply
Please let me know your status with the IRS I used turbo tax and on the same dates as yours. saw the status bar the first week and then it went to processing. call the IRS I cannot reach a live person any suggestions. Reply

I went to the irs yesterday. I was told they are reviewing claims more than once because of prior years, refunds were just being submitted and they were just approving them. So now they are taking longer across the boar. there are Tons of people who are in the same boat. Including myself.
I filled on the 2nd of February it said accepted and received on the 3rd of February,I CHECK wmr and it says still processing no status bars (never had status bars) I called irs Friday and she told me to call back on the 23rd when it will be my 21 days I called this morning to be told that my refund went into review and came out of review on the 17th but is still processing the lady told me to wait 6weeks… Has anyone had this problem before or is going through the same thing that has better information or good news.. Someone help!! Reply
I filled my taxes on like 1/13/15 they processed it on 1/14/145 well about 3 days later I check the where’s my refund site and all the bars were gone and all it said was your tax return is still being processed and a date will be given to you when available…..so it said this for about 2 weeks and then I check just happened to check it really late one night and they said that they had accepted my return and it give me a date. My check was sent out on the day it was said and it’s on its way here!!!! Hope it does the same for you Reply
I filed on 1/29 & was accepted w/n a hour. Went from having one bar to none to tax return still being processed, expect return date when available with all other areas showing (ss#, refund amount) until 2-16 still stating refund still processing…. But now with tax topic 152 & refund amount gone, smh & lol. So on day 22, 24 & 25 I called IRS…still processing, 2. System error 3. Internal issue…geesh!! So finally I said 4get called Nat’l Tax Advocate was eligible for advocate but my return is being processed, accepted on 30th, there is no errors, projected refund date is the 9th. So I have my fingers crossed, has any experienced this……
Call Tax Advocate program they are great for getting qualified tax returns back quicker than 4 to 5 months. Good luck. I hope I am not in same boat as you. My filing is still in processing stage and the 21 days are almost up. Thank you. Reply
Mine was filed on the February 2nd too. I also haven’t recieved mine. It still says its processing. What number do you call to get a live person at the other end? The numbers I’ve called have all been automated with no choice to talk to someone live. This is my first year trying turbo tax. I’ve always used H&R and always received my taxes deposited quickly. I will probably go back to them next year. Reply
I filed both got accepted on 1-29-2015 was ti go direct deposit got fed back in 7 days but state nothing yet state says was approved on Feb. The 3 rd but has not went into my back yet but other people that filed the same day has got there’s 2 weeks ago ? Reply
I filled with turbo tax and was accepted on 1/22. Since then my wmr bars have disappeared(for weeks) and states my refund is being processed and a date will be provided when available.

I have been trying to track my refund all night but the code I have been sent to use is always rejected as being incorrect and it is not. How am I supposed to use this tracking feature if I am being incorrectly blocked? Would take less time to just call the bank. Too frustrating to bother with and not the least bit helpful. Reply
We filed our taxes through turbotax on Feb 5th got email that it was approved then on the 6th we received another email saying it was rejected because someone had used my daughter’s ssn this has never happened to us before! So we had to mail our returns in on February 9th how long will this take now?? Reply
Ok guys so hdre it . For many of u with issues. If u put ur bank info in incorrectly u will get refund via check and it wont be deposiyed the correct day; same goes those of u who used an account with a name different than your own. Also you paid out of your refund for your tax preparation then your refund got your tax preparer before it goes to u, hence causing a delay of up to about 5 days. If you file paper not electronic it will take longer. If you are audited in process then yours will take forever weeks of processing.If you put alot of incorrect it will take more time as well. Now the guy who goy a direct deposit but didnt recieve refund on date. This either because your information wad wrong and they haf to papet mail wich takes like 2 more weeks or your preparer is taking thheir fee from the refund and will direct deposit refund to you after.This is why I do mine myself for via turbo tax. I filed february 9 it was accepted the 10th and deposited 18tj of february. I filed for free so no preparers had hold my refumd and obtain their fees. I saved time and money. With a little efgort and research you can do the same. Reply
And don’t forget if you got insurance from healthcare marketplace it can be held up for the 1095-A form that is what happen to me they needed me to send in a copy. But just got my letter after waiting 3 days past the 21 day wait now it will be a 6 to 8 week wait I bet. Reply
My refund says that it was accepted and deposited into my bank account on February 11, 2015 when I have no bank account any more! I clicked on wanting a Netspend Visa Card and apparently Turbo Tax defaulted to using my old bank account information from last year and I can’t even remember what bank that was to be able to call them and ask them if they have a deposit pending or not. I would like this error taken care of and even if you have to issue me a check and mail it to me I will wait so you can fix this and get it right!!! But please look into this! I have NO income and am about to be evicted have filed for disabilabity due to medical issues. Reply
Hi Kerrie, We can’t look into your account or change your information for your security. The IRS will mail your check we don’t approve or mail the tax refunds. Hopefully you will receive it soon. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
I filled on 2/17/2015 and was acepted on the 18 is the 21 and they haven’t approved it as yet, I hope everything is good with my refund Reply
My last comment is “still awaiting moderation” from Feb 12th.. Go figure.. Hey, TurboTax, people are complaining yet you lay in silence! What is all the delay, is it because of the fraud being investigated for some returns through TurboTax? Is the hold up the IRS or TurboTax? It appears the IRS has put a “pause” on all TurboTax filed returns and are offering NO explanation. As a customer of TurboTax, I expect an answer from you, as ultimately YOU are responsible. Please advise us ALL what the delays are about. Thank you Reply
Hi Jeff, As you see by this post many comments have been moderated. No, the IRS has not paused taxes filed using TurboTax. You will also see there are people who filed via other methods who are waiting for their refunds as well. There are many reasons tax returns can be delayed.

I filled on the 9th of February and it is still being processed this is the last time I will ever use Turbo tax it is the worst experience I have ever had filling my taxes and I will NOT recommend you to anyone all I want is a date of refund and you can’t even give me a answer on that very pathetic for a so called professional tax prep software Reply

Hi Aj, It can take the bank up to 5 days to post your refund. Please check back with them. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
I posted this before and figured id post it again since i see a lot of comments/ concerns about this. i myself filed on 1/22 got rejected, refiled on 2/5 then accepted on 2/6. My bars disappeared on 2/8. Tried to order 2014 return & account transcripts on 2/19, they weren’t available. Tried again on 2/20 they were finally available, meaning my return was processed (i was able to view my account transcripts that shows if they made any changes to your refund /return). The transcript is a short break down of of tax return. Then on 2/21 WMR finally updated and the bars appeared again with a DDD of 2/25. So just because the bars disappear does NOT necessarily mean it is bad it just means they are actually working on your refund! Here is what i found about WHY the “bars or tracker” disappear. Does the “wheres my Refund” always display my refund status with the tracker showing the three steps? No,In some cases the tracker graphic will not be shown if your return is being reviewed prior to step two: “Refund Approved,” and instead an explanation or instructions will be provided depending on the situation. 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. You can find this information on the IRS website: http://www.irs.gov/Refunds/Tax-Season-Refund-Frequently-Asked-Questions HOPE THIS HELPS 🙂 you should also try looking for your transcripts(via online is the best way..they give you two options- mail or online to view transcripts)..i posted the link for that as well if you cant find it Reply
THANK YOU for posting this!! I have been able to view my transcripts online for a while now (never tried checking before but when I did it was available) but WMR still says “processing” with no DDD and no bars. I filed on 2/5, accepted on 2/6 and my refund is supposed to be deposited by 2/26, so this makes me cautiously hopeful. Thanks! Reply
This has been a great post but I am wondering why when I have called and gotten someone on the phone twice, both ladies told me they did not receive my refund and I would have to re-file, when I did re-file the next day it was rejected stating that I have already filed, so I called the IRS I.D. theft line, a lady over the phone told me that they did in fact receive my refund and that is was processing and to just give it time, now my status bar has disappeared, I do not have a transcript for 2014, and I am truly tired of all of these games. I know now that TurboTax nor is any other tax prep. company involved with this craziness. It is IRS all the way… A lot of people are going through the same issues including myself, no one is to blame other then the IRS/Government they knew that Obama care tax forms would have to be filed with the 2014 taxes and that this would be the first year having this form filed with a person’s taxes and they decided to do a budget cut lay of IRS workers, and play these mind games with people not to mention treating us terribly because we re-elected Obama. In all honesty I will be voting for the next Democrat this does not change or break me playing these games will not work out for them in the end.

I’m sure this will get moderated like my other post not sure if anyone is seeing them but I got my letter from IRS asking for a copy of the 1095-A healthcare form and luckily you can fax it to them I have the number but you need their cover sheet that has you fill in some blanks. If yall want the fax posted just reply back and I can do that but not sure about the cover page. But If you have a 1095-A that is why your taxes are held up and that is what they want.
The fax is 866-682-7451 I just noticed the cover page has tax payer info on it like ssn and IRS codes so copying that may not work but make a cover page with your name date sending ssn the tax period and your contact info and times you can be called
