Had anyone received their injured spouse refund? Did the status show up on WMR?

I sent my injured spouse in after my refund was processed. I called the IRS because it has been 8 weeks. I sent it 2/24/19. They said they received it 3/1/19 & started working on it 4/2/19. The woman said WMR would update and that it's 8 weeks from when they receive it, so if I don't have it 5/1 They can force the next step, but WMR hasn't updated at all!

Ok...that form can take 11Weeks or more to process so don't expect it anytime soon. And the WMR tool may never update even after you have the check do don't reley on that either.

No, if you file the form alone after your taxes have been processed it takes 8 weeks. If you efile with your return it takes 11 weeks, if you mail it with your return it takes 14. That's according to the irs. The woman said it's 8 weeks from when they received it which was 3/1.

Well when they are done processing it then they will be done ... there is no set time frame for these things just estimates ... since a human must process it manually and the IRS is short on manpower expect the usual time frames to be much longer.

Which doesn't answer my question....at all. I asked if anyone got theirs and if it showed up on WMR....not for incorrect info on processing times, as I have that info, nor did I ask for attitude. If you can't answer the question asked, then there's no need to respond. I never asked for processing timeframes.

I highly doubt anyone will be posting that info on this forum which is why I tried to give you a friendly warning ... the old adage to not spend it til you get it really applies in this situation.

They received mine 3/27 and I don't have it yet, but the funds have been released according to my online transcripts.  The release date is 7/8 however.  It could be today or sometime after that date according to everything I've read.
