@Lavenderhny  thank you. Thats re-assuring.  I filed 2/8.   I wish people would just post positive stuff for all of us.  Its stressful enough.  Keep the positive coming in.

Yea I'm being positive and having faith, but are you still seeing no bars, with message, still processing, date when available, I have the same dependents for years, What alot of people don't understand is on top of the hold on if you're filing dependants, we are still feeling the effects of the gov't shutdown. We were all informed that there would be a delay on refunds, prior till workers going back to work, and I'm in Atlanta, and I called yesterday and spoke to the girl that works where I got my taxes done and she said she did hers in January and she woke up Thursday and saw no bars, and the same message that we all have gotten and she also said that people had been calling their office with the same complaints, and I was also told that it's not a negative thing especially if you got 152, the system will shutdown like that if it becomes overloaded with people going on it.

@jadenk7 your exactly right!  And this year  I am claiming head of household and have a qualifying niece and I haven’t in the past probably four years and that shouldn’t even make a difference I mean circumstances change for people especially in this world we live in right now.!!   My niece needed a place to live and stay while she’s in college and she’s 18 and if I could provide a place for her to come and help my sister and brother-in-law out .  because they had no money to help her with rent etc. thad exactly what I did. I digress, my point  even if circumstances change it shouldn’t even make a difference. I think they’re all just probably overwhelmed and inundated and it’s part of the shut down. when the shut down ended they still hadn’t trained a bunch of workers , I imagine over and above the fact that yes you’re right I think people are overloading the system and that’s why the bars are disappearing.   I think it stinks That the IRS workers and us as individuals had to pay the price for a shut down. But that being said I don’t want this to be a political conversation but it is very unfortunate because I’m sure all the IRS workers are ready to pull their hair out, I would be

So this is word for word what mine says I'm not sure if it will stay this way or if I will update first it could not find me in the system then Thursday it changed to this so hopefully what ever happens next is good last year was hell on wheels for me.

[jadenk7]

Mines were like that on Thursday morning also, mines has the same exact message just with no bars, I have informed delivery and I saw a screen shot of mail from the IRS, I just came back in from the mail box and it was both my transcript and tax account request which I ordered both over phone on Feburary 12, both are blank, they both say no return filed which means neither were ready when I ordered on the 12th, look I have decided that I'm not ordering any transcripts again, because if I don't see any mail at all from the IRS, that's a good thing, I'm feeling like we should see a change by next week, they are just backed up, and as bad as it sounds it's actually a good thing that hundreds or thousands have the same exact thing on end, cuz that has to mean it's actually is an overload with the system

[Lavenderhny]

@jadenk7 mine said the same thing starting last Saturday 2.16 but it changed to approved today 2.23. I think it takes about a week or so to process but I’m not 100%

[jadenk7]

HERES QUOTE FROM ANOTHER ARTICLE ON INTERNET FROMTHE MILITARY WALLET BLOG

“Expect  Delayed Tax Refunds from the IRS”

“The IRS began accepting tax returns on Jan 28, 2019. However, there have been some delays sending some tax refunds to taxpayers, even to those who filed their tax returns early. There are several underlying factors, including the massive overhaul of the tax system that was enacted for the 2019 Taxpayers  who submitted their tax returns early this year may have to wait a little longer than anticipated to receive their tax refund. The IRS recently announced there may be delays in tax refunds this year for several reasons, including decreased budgets and staffing and new anti-fraud measures for the IRS computer systems. As of right now, the delays may cost taxpayers around a week or longer than the 8 tax year, as well as the government shutdown, which lingered well into the beginning of 2019”
