Ok I E-filed and IRS accepted it on the 1/22/20 I thought was wired because they said they was not a accepting until the 27th. I looked at where’s my refund on the 1/25/20 it had one bar said was accepted. On 2/5/20 it went to the PATH act and stayed like that until 2/16/20 Message changed to we received your refund and is processing no bars nothing. My turbo tax says refund expected on 2/12/20 obviously that didn’t happen been way past 21 days. Has anyone else have this problem?

All you people getting in between answers vs the direct answers you are seeking. I found a way to make this process faster.

Complaints ...go to TIGTA Dept of Treasury and contact your local congressman ... They are good at helping people like us whom are suffering at the negligence and laziness of IRS.

@Sara10

Everyone processes at their own pace ... think of the IRS processing system as a long pipeline with filters ... some returns will slide right thru with no stops and some will get stopped one or more times by one of the "filters" which each have their own processing timelines. All you really can do is watch the IRS site once a day for a status update and if you get an IRS letter respond as directed. https://www.irs.gov/refunds

UPDATE: Still haven't received my refund, WMR still still hasn't changed from the message stated below.

I was able to get my IRS Online Transcripts, it shows all my credits with a date of 4-15-20 next to each amount.

Cycle Number 20200905 With a Date of 3-16-20

Under all my credits it says CODE 570 - ADDITIONAL ACCOUNT ACTION PENDING 3-16-20

With that said it doesn't say any letter was issued, or any other Codes. Whats with those dates? Does this mean they are waiting until 3-16-20 to issue a letter ? Has this happen to anyone?

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

My return was accepted Feb 5th, just about a week ago the status bar was missing, it says the following:

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.

Please read the following information related to your tax situation:

Tax Topic 152, Refund Information

I called the IRS yesterday, the lady told me that my return needs 2 more weeks. I asked if that means I was pulled for review, or if that means theres an issue. She said no they just need 2 more weeks to process...... Not sure what the heck that means, I'm very worried.

I file 02/5/2020 got accepted on 26. How it’s 03/4/2020 still have got my refund it’s still processing. I never had this trouble before. I think next time just go have my taxes done with a person paid more. This sucks

It’s not just people who filed with turbo tax. It’s the irs they are the ones who choose who gets theirs an who doesn’t. I know several people that has filed away from turbo tax an still haven’t received theirs. I called irs twice an they first told me I had a letter that would be mailed out February 24th to explain what was going on never received it I called again then they told me I have a letter that is to be mailed out March 16th an that I have a 60 day review from that date to verify income. So idk I think it’s just they are behind an got everything messed up an they trying to correct it

I'm sorry to say that the WMR website is not updated or even correct. So many people are relying on this site to give them some hope as to when they will receive their refund. Well I know of 3 people who have received their refund already and the WMR site still shows 2 bars.

Goodluck because turbo tax didnt ask anyone this year if they had health insurance for 2019 and it's held up millions of peoples taxes according to the irs so I would suggest calling the irs all though it takes weeks to be able to talk to someone from my experience. this is the whole reason why I have been waiting 35 days still no return to be told I have to wait another 8 weeks!!!!!

@Tonbl You know what I didn’t even realize that till you mentioned it! I use them every year and it always ask but this year it didn’t but i didn’t gross enough that I would have a penalty or anything. Mine isn’t being held up for that tho it’s something else but you are right about it I’ve noticed a lot of people having to send in that form after the fact

Tonbl

Level 3

Yeah they aren't holding it for a penalty they are holding it because its required turbo tax ask that question for 2019 its does not matter moving forward but 2019 it was still a required question for them to ask. Yeah I definitely havent got my taxes still so I'm extremely ticked off.

I'm trying to figure out why I have not yet got my taxes I filed on January 29th 20/20 and it still has not gave me yet a date it is still saying the IRS is still processing my Texas

@Lanecia99 I was told by irs that almost all returns are being delayed additional 45-60 days because of so many people claiming kids they aren’t supposed too. Thank goodness mine isn’t being held for that reason but it is delayed for something else stupid!
