TurboTax is accepting tax returns today so that you can get closer to your maximum tax refund. Last tax season about 75% of taxpayers received a tax refund close to $3,000. Here are 6 quick tips to help you get a jump-start on your tax refund: Get Your Tax Refund as Fast as Possible with TurboTax W-2 Form Finder If you didn’t receive your W-2 yet, you can still start your tax return now and get your tax refund as fast as possible by importing your W-2 with TurboTax W-2 Form Finder. We can import your W-2 electronically from over one million participating employers and financial institutions so you can finish your taxes sooner. Don’t Forget What You Did in 2014 I’m sure you won’t forget the big things like getting married or having a baby, but our lives are busy and some of the little expenses can add up to big tax deductions. Don’t forget that your 2014 expenses related to your job search, day camp for the kids, charitable donations, and medical expenses to name a few, may help you get a bigger tax refund. Make sure you have those receipts in hand when you go online to prepare your taxes. Get Organized Take time to gather your necessary paperwork, forms, receipts, and checklist for your 2014 taxes. TurboTax asks simple questions specific to you, but having your documents ready to go will save you time. Keep an empty folder next to where you keep your mail. When your W-2s and 1099s start to roll in you can keep them all together in one folder. Double Check Social Security Numbers Make sure you have your correct social security numbers before sitting down to file your taxes. Incorrect social security numbers for you, your spouse, and dependents will cause you to miss out on valuable tax deductions and credits. Take One More Available Tax Deduction Even though it’s already 2015 there is still time to contribute to your IRA, putting more money in your nest egg and increasing your tax refund. You have up until the day you file your taxes to make a contribution for 2014 and lower your taxes. Don’t wait to file. Last year about 75% of taxpayers received a tax refund and the average tax refund was close to $3,000, so there is no reason to wait!

It is now 3/2 & WMR is still saying “being processed”. I called IRS, finally got a person & she found out they had to correct something on the return but did not know what. Is this something Turbo Tax did wrong? I thought TT guaranteed correct returns. Now IRS is saying another 6-8 weeks. I filed with TT on January 25th and it said it was accepted within 30 min.but now its Feb 9th and still nothing. What taking it so long to approve me? I did my taxes on jan 31 and still have not gotten an email saying it was accepted. Last year I got an email in 20 min. im cincerned has anyone received refunds. Yep. Got mine Friday afternoon. No state yet though. Think that takes a little longer. I filed with TT on January 5th . Got an email saying I was one of the “lucky ones” because the irs accepted my return early on jan 12th . Well today is jan 30th and it still has not been approved in fact it just says it has been accepted and is being processed but it doesn’t even say when it was accepted . I know people who filed on the 20th who already got DDD’s does this mean there is a problem with my return ? I thought accepted early meant processed early . I also thought lucky was a good thing too but I’m not feeling very lucky after this . How do I know if there is an issue ? I finally got a DDD of 2/4/15 Do you get your state refund sooner than federal when you use turbo tax for both or is about the same time? Well when i filed last year, It took about a week and a half to finally get approved which was filling 2/19 then got approved 3/1 so I hope this helps any I live in MN. They were accepted like in 20 minutes. TT sent me an email stating the IRS accepted my return on the 20th. When I use the WMR tool, IRS says it’s still processing. Why am I getting 2 different answers? Accepted means it was received. Processing means working on it. Sorry, I meant 22nd of January 2015 and still on Freedom Addition. « Older Comments Newer Comments » Browse Related Articles Latest News How to File Taxes for Free with TurboTax Mobile App Offer Income Tax by State Arkansas State Income Tax in 2025: A Guide Income Tax by State Alabama State Income Tax in 2025: A Guide Tax Forms IRS Form 4868: A Step-by-Step Guide to Filing an IRS Tax Extension Income Tax by State Arizona State Income Tax in 2025: A Guide Business Taxes Small Business Taxes: Expert Advice for Filing Your Return Income Tax by State New Jersey State Income Tax in 2025: A Guide Income Tax by State Mississippi State Income Tax in 2025: A Guide Latest News President Trump’s Tax Proposals: Overtime Tax, Taxes on Tips, and Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Extension and More Income Tax by State Indiana State Income Tax in 2025: A Guide
