Good evening,

  Am I the only one that is still having issues with getting a refund?  I filed my taxes Jan.20th and Federal accepted my tax return on Feb.12th and Ga was accepted on Feb.18.... However, when I go look at Irs.gov- its states still processing and will give return date when its available.

I was accepted February 12th. Stuck with only one bar. March 5th, my bars disappeared and I got the message "Your return is being processed"...blah blah with tax code 152. Finally, today I decided to call IRS. After almost an hour I was able to get through. My return was pulled for "random" review. A letter is set to be mailed out on March 29th. The gentleman on the phone said it could take 120 days to review.

Turbo Tax is a deceptive tax service. My tax refunds are hanging in limbo. My info is missing from the IRS Files for my stimulus check, so it's very evident Turbo Tax hasn't repaired the glitches. My advice for anyone is not to ever us their services again. Hopefully, somebody will file a class action lawsuit on our behalf.

Same thing here. But I am seeing a trend that people that got excepted on Feb 12 are still in limbo

Yes, however I called to make an appointment at a local office.  I actually spoke with someone, I was telling him why I was making the appointment and he actually looked into it for me. He did say that my file is under a review for no particular reason and I should receive a letter or my refund by April 14th. Then two weeks after that, my stimulus should be received. Not the best news but some news. Hopefully this news will help some of you as well.

I believe the only reason it’s under review is because I filed with a different status last year (joint) then all my previous years and then it changed back again this year (HOH)

People do that all the time, it doesn't trigger a review. I've flipped between joint and separately because of being a contractor, and also a student (grad) on and off the last few years and other than PATH, my returns haven't gotten flagged for anything. Unless they told you that specifically you are just guessing. For the larger majority of the public what service you file with doesn't matter.

We filed ours Feb. 23, 2021. Ours still says the same as yours. Today we received an email that turbo tax will deduct the amt. for processing of $74 dollars from our checking if we haven't received our taxes. If this happens, then when we DO get our taxes, they wont try to remove that amount again will they?

When you choose to pay your TurboTax fees from your Federal refund & there is a delay in the processing of your return/refund, then per the Refund Processing Agreement, TurboTax can deduct the fees from your bank account. 

  

Why was my bank account auto-debited for TurboTax fees?

According to this IRS update as of April 16th:  

 
 

The IRS is now opening mail within normal timeframes. The IRS has also made significant progress in processing prior year returns. As of April 9, 2021, we had 1.5 million individual tax returns received prior to 2021 in the processing pipeline. Including current year returns, as of April 9, 2021, we had 16.2 million unprocessed individual returns in the pipeline. Unprocessed returns include those requiring correction to the Recovery Rebate Credit amount or validation of 2019 income used to figure the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Advance Child Tax Credit (ACTC). This work does not require us to correspond with taxpayers but does require special handling by an IRS employee so, in these instances, it is taking the IRS more than 21 days to issue any related refund. If, as a result, a correction is made to any RRC, EITC or ACTC claimed on the return, the IRS will send taxpayers an explanation. Taxpayers are encouraged to continue to check Where’s My Refund? for their personalized refund status and can review Tax Season Refund Frequently Asked Questions.  

 
 

How long you may have to wait: The IRS understands the importance of timely processing of tax returns and refund issuance. We are processing returns received over the summer and fall in 2020 due to the extended July 15, 2020 tax filing due date. While the majority of 2019 refund returns have been processed, in some cases, we are processing tax returns that were mailed with a payment even though payment associated with these returns have been processed by the IRS. However, we are rerouting tax returns and taxpayer correspondence from locations that are behind to locations where more staff is available, and we are taking other actions to minimize any delays. Tax returns are opened in the order received. As the return is processed, it may be delayed because it has a mistake including errors concerning the Recovery Rebate Credit, is missing information, or there is suspected identity theft or fraud. If we can fix it without contacting you, we will. If we need more information or need you to verify that it was you who sent the tax return, we will write you a letter. The resolution of these issues depends on how quickly and accurately you respond, and the ability of IRS staff trained and working under social distancing requirements to complete the processing of your return.  

 
 

What you should do: If you filed electronically and received an acknowledgement, you do not need to take any further action other than promptly responding to any requests for information. If you filed on paper, check Where’s my refund? If it tells you we have received your return or are processing or reviewing it, we are processing your return, but it may be under review. We’re working hard to get through the backlog. Please don’t file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.  

 
 

E-filing your 2020 tax return: To e-file you will need to enter your AGI from your tax year 2019 tax return.  If your 2019 return has not yet been processed, you may enter $ 0 (zero) as your prior year Adjusted Gross Income. If you used the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here tool last year to register for an Economic Impact Payment, enter “$1” as your prior year AGI. See Claiming the Recovery Rebate Credit if you aren’t required to file a tax return.

@lynxette2002    No ... the fees are not deducted a second time.

I am in the same situation - efiled, accepted and no refund after 8 weeks.  Set up an IRS account today and was able to produce a transcript of my account.  Although there was some info related to my profile, there was a line on the transcript that stated "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT".  Now I am trying to figure out if this is the problem and what is the remedy.  I cannot re efile using Turbotax.

@JALNJ If it was accepted, they have it... only now, the reason it says "NO RETURN PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" is probably because it was sent to the errors and corrections department. Once it is sent to E&C it is literally and figuratively out of the hands of processing. The only way you'll be able to get any information about it is to contact the IRS (after 2 more weeks, you must wait 10 weeks total) speak with a representative, ask they submit a request for review to errors and corrections. That, in itself, is another process that could take another 10 weeks or more. Once they received the requested review, there's a very likely possibility that it will not provide you with any other details other than what you already know.

Mine said the same thing when I created an acct. It also said that I was filing single, which I am not. I think they just put generic information. It is getting ridiculous.

I filed and return was accepted 02/18/2021. I do not itemize so return was rather simple. I still have no refund and phone message  just says processing. Unfortunately I have not found a phone # to talk to a live human. Very frustrating.

My tax's where accepted 3/10/2021 and I have to pay but no information on my account yet to make payment. No stimulus check because of the trouble filing the returns so they don't have my adjusted gross income.
