Has anyone who had their return accepted on the 12th received their funds in the last few days? I’m still waiting

My son has, the IRS website, Where's My Refund, has not been updating as it should, so you might have your refund in your bank account even though there is no update to the IRS website.  It happened to my son, his deposit was in his bank account even though the IRS website still showed received.. So you might want to check your bank account.

See the following from the IRS:

I filed and it was accepted on Feb 11 at 1pm.  Then I learned that they officially weren't accepting until the 19th (I could be wrong and it was the 12th).  Regardless, I received my refund in my direct deposit on Feb 24.  Good luck, I think I was first in line.  Now I have a new problem. I got another form and I'm not sure if the Turbo Tax amount owed includes what was refunded. Oooppps!

@bluedeb  I have heard that too about the IRS system not updating so I have been checking my account and still nothing. I know I’m still within the 21 days but I’m worried something is wrong because everyone else I know has received theirs.

@ruthejp13  Mine was accepted on the 12th but I still have no funds in my account.... I check many times a day. Just worried because everyone else I know has received their money... even those that used turbo or another service. I called the garnishment line and there is nothing being held  but I’m still worried.

@IccamoconYEARS ago, I had a huge fight because my numbers didn't match up.  I electronically filed my federal and manually filed my state. Manually filing I used cents i.e. 49.54 vs $50.  When everything was over and done there was about $3 in rounding errors. It took forever to correct the problem. 

As I stated previously, I have received another form because I filed too soon (I thought I'd already gotten their form but I had two coming).  If you have another form lost in the mail and the IRS received it electronically, they could be correcting or rejecting your return based on new electronic information.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't count on your refund money anything soon if you haven't gotten it already - it's a really big line.  The good news is that these electronic differences are usually quickly rectified by a letter in the mail telling you about the descrepancy.

Just curious if you've gotten your refund yet.  I read an article in WaPo about how behind the IRS is and basically about 3 weeks ago they kind of just shut down for a bit.
