Irs Accepted

[lgraham724]

@Halljr71 I originally filed early with HR Block. My return was rejected so I refiled with TT on 2/14. My sister filed early also with TT and got her deposit last Tuesday.

Did you find out what happened

[Scornedtaxmomma87]

Yes I did. I called the IRS 27 times on Friday to get answers. They told me that early Turbo Tax filers were put into a new IRS software program for testing with Turbo Taxes permission. So if you filed early and your return was accepted before 2/12 you will fall into this pool of people. They won’t be release until the weeks end. Never use Turbo Tax again. They were actually paid to release taxes early. They already knew this would happen to us. Live and learn.

I did not get my refund yet. My account was updated with tax code 152.

I spoke with another rep at the IRS today.  The only info she could provide was a scripted response that said that it could take 10 weeks from date of acceptance.

My return was accepted on 2.12, so today marks 4 weeks.  So I could have to wait 6 more weeks before getting my money OR hearing if there are issues.  When I tried to probe on it, she just went back to the script.  I acknowledged that they are probably in a bad way and getting a lot of calls and she appreciated that.  I mean, it's not her fault.

Here's what I'm not clear on:  at what point do they need to stay paying interest?  Is it after 21 days?  Or longer?  My guess would be that they'll drag it out as long as possible but issue the payment before they need to give us even more money back.  But I don't know how that works.

Looks like we will get stimulus checks b4 income tax. Never using turbo tax again!

@Jdmcass77 TurboTax has no control over the speed of your return processing once the IRS accepts it. We are not provided any status updates nor access to your account with the IRS. TurboTax software is used to complete the return, but once it's completed and accepted, it's in the hands of the IRS for processing. The IRS states Most tax returns process within 21 days after they are accepted.  However, some may take longer. This means If it's been longer than 21 days since you e-filed your tax return and your return was accepted by the IRS, you'll have to speak directly to IRS to find out why they are delaying the processing of your return. Please click here for more information.

That’s turbo tax specialist  dumb ass we appreciate being freaking broke. Y’all really need to get on top of the bridge and jump. We are in need of our taxes and y’all won’t get us answers. Middle finger up. We definitely need to find another preparer next year.

GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING. I FILED ON 2/12 AND THEY WERE ACCEPTED ON 2/13 AND I WAS SUPPOSE TO GET THEM ON 3/5.. THEN I TALKED WITH A TURBO TAX LIVE PERSON AND ONE TOLD ME I WILL BE GETTING IT NO LATER THAN THE 3/10 AND IT WAS APPROVED AND ON THE WAY.. WELL TODAY WHEN I TALKED TO ANOTHER TURBO TAX AGENT THEY TOLD ME THEY DONT KNOW WHY I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE THAT INFORMATION!! WAT THE CRAP?

[montez420]

I'd give the IRS a call I was exactly as you are, I called the other day and my return is in the error resolution department now and it'll take upto an additional 10 weeks to process now.

Story is TurboTax was paid to submit early filers to a new software system that obviously isn’t working out as planned. Only reason I say TT is at fault is because they were also the cause of my first stimulus being delayed due to them sending to the incorrect bank account. I’d assume it’s not a hard process to e-submit documents and let IRS handle the rest. Why “test” a new program in the midst of a pandemic with millions of people financially impacted. Just doesn’t make sense!
