Early 2020 Return Accepted Before Feb 12th Opening?

[Lorrraines0506]

I hope so. Like I said I’m still at one bar on the IRS tracker.

I am also still at 1 bar on WMR on the IRS website. Best I understand that only updates so often. And for those of us with EIC or ACTC (PATH Act) we will not see an update there until the 22nd

So I did just try looking at the transcripts online and both return and account show N/A.  I don't get that since I was able to order them.......

@Lorrraines0506 

You can still order them by phone they will come in the mail blank. 

It happened to me back in 2019 and 2018. 

I do remember either 2017 or 2016 the automated line will tell you if they were not available but it must have changed since then. Now they just come blank.

I got my DD this morning (reported this a few pages back) - I'm the thread starter here because I was so surprised that my tax return was listed a "Return Received" before opening day.  For my IRS "Where's My Refund" I am still sitting at received - so funny since I have my Refund!  My transcripts were updated late last week and I've been able to log on and get my transcripts since 2019 (might have been 2018).  It is a bit of a pain to get registered but once you are it has never failed me know what was really happening with my tax return/refund.  It has been 100% correct and fast(er) to update, unlike "Where's My Refund Site".

I am registered on the IRS page.  Congrats to you!! I filed early and got accepted on 2/11 but I'm still at one bar

Mine is a very simple return so I am hoping it deosnt take that long.  I know alot of people are still waiting to be accepted.

Was your 846 code 2/18/2021

[RichardTx]

assuming you are asking me but yes my transcript had this listed:

Code 845 Refund Issued 2/18/21 last Friday (02/12/21) on official opening day.  My return was very simple, just my W2 and my personal information required this year (like last year) - since standard deduction was more than adding anything else up for itemizing.  

Funny, I already have DDD but not even listed as approved yet!

How would I know if my 2019 taxes was done 

[RichardTx]

Toryvialet - by going to https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript and registering ... you can get that information there.

What code are you referring to?

@Cadillacbob

[RichardTx]

the code is what is listed on your transcripts... there are lots of them.... Though what always confuses me is why do that have dates so much in the future!
