Refund

Mine says the same bars disappeared and it says processing and will give a date when available 🤦‍♀️ I know other people who did there taxes through other tax products and got there refunds so what is turbo tax doing with our refunds ????

Same, same here still processing, topic 152 it was due on the third of March. What I am being told is if you have any amount on line 30 it clicks to error and don't expect a refund for 8 to 10 weeks. So I am screwed as I am sure one of the many that figured it would be the usual refund time and took care of items on to do list.

Same issue. And cant get through to irs. Just tells me to wait and then says due to your topic and EXTREMELY High call volume It cant be answered . And boots me off. Wtf. Money needed asap

Who has given you that info.  I truly hope it’s wrong.  

This is awful.  You cant get a hold of a person to figure out what is going on and you cant make an appointment to talk to someone as the voice mails are full.  I just want my money.  I didnt receive the 2nd stimulus and now I cant even get that on my refund.  Thanks IRS

The IRS says that it will issue 9 out of 10 refunds to taxpayers in less than 21 days.  However, if:

• You have e-filed your 2020 Federal tax return,
• You are claiming a Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) on line 30 of the 2020 1040 tax return, and
• Your tax return has been accepted by the IRS.  

We suspect that the IRS will scrutinize stimulus payments that were issued against the tax returns that claim the Recovery Rebate Credit.  We do not know how much delay that the IRS will incur in such cases. 

 

Implementation of the American Rescue Plan will further strain the resources of the IRS.  IRS live phone assistance is extremely limited at this time.  For stimulus payment questions, call 800-919-9835.

Mine said exact same thing, now the bar is gone and is states, 

Your tax return is still being processed.

A refund date will be provided when available.

So I finally got through to IRS person after 2 hours waiting . They said that it is either being reviewed for hold, or it will be released.  She looked into everything she could and said the hold review board is holding it to decide if they need more info, or if they are going to release it. ...UHGG.. She gave me no dates, or any other info. She said I had to wait 10 WEEKS!... Then they MIGHT send me a letter if they need more info and that could take another 6-10 weeks... This is CRAZY, I have done me taxes Same way Every year. I have always received my returns within 2 weeks.. I understand they are back logged, but this is crazy.. And by the way this happened to my  friend  and she just received 2019 return  in December. they gave her 83.00 for interest since they held her money for so long.. Please reply back if you are having the same issue and you get your refund, or the irs wheres my refund page changes for you.. thank you

I am sorry this is happening to you and thank you so much for the info. This really upsets me.  It is one thing to have an issue with my return but I went with Turbo tax to prevent this kind of thing. And since I didnt get the 600 stimulus (even though i got the first one),will I get the 1400 one that is coming? Or will they tell us we have to use our 2021 tax return to get it and have the same thing happen.  

Just was watching the news it says to gl on the IRS website and make sure u give them ur banking info as checks will be on the way to people next week !!! Hope this info helps !!

What does this mean in simpler terms?

From what i understand it means check your tax return if you have anything on line 30 you refund will be about 3 to 6 months.  

I expected the Recovery Rebate Credit would slow things down.  It's been 4 1/2 weeks since my IRS efile was accepted.

I did have an amount  on line 30. I assumed that since I received my second stimulus check in 2021, that I wouldn't include it on 2020 taxes. Go figure. I wonder how many other people have done this? I'm not sure if what I did was correct or not.

At this point if I knew the rebate was going to drag returns out 8 to 10 weeks or more, the crap 300 it rebated is going to cost me 4 times the amount from not getting just the regular return. Yes I bet my return would be normal date as usual and took care of a lot of things I should of waited on to make sure the return was back first. On the other hand I did have deposit aligned for 3/3, then all went blank and processing nonsense date will be posted once processed with topic 152 bs.

 

Oh well need stimulus bad now.

STRANGE ...mine still shows processing , a date will be available later time.. BUT,  when I try to check the status on with my husbands info.. This is what I get... 

You may not have entered your information correctly. Please verify your personal tax data and try again.

 I've

 been checking the status under his info this whole time, and now it has changed to incorrect  info... So

I

 thought

I

 would try with my info and all the bars are gone, ect... just like everyone else..

And I did not put

anything

 on line 30.. we received our

stimulus

 checks.. so please , nobody think that is the only reason because it s not... our line 30 is blank.. And my daughter received an email 8 days ago from IRS -turbo tax stating that her refund has changed, it is 600 less and will be deposited on the 16th.... her line 30 was also blank and her  "where s my refund"  changed just like all of ours... So I think that they are reducing my refund, like my daughters , and that is why I can not check the status anymore because the amount of refund is going to be different, All of ours sounds like it is in the" hold review board". this is what the irs stated to me yesterday when I

finally

 go through... She said they can be

releasing

 or holding because they need more info.. I will get a letter if they need more info. But either way she said it will take 6-10 weeks because after they review it to see if they need to hold it it takes

a lot

 of time to get it back into processing for release... uhg..I have never heard of holding to see if they might need to review it.. this is insane.... Also I still have not

received

 my unemployment from last year.. 6 months that has been

approved

 just not processed.. THIS IS CRAZY.... Good luck all and please reach back if Any of you receive a letter or changes so we keep all in the loop... thank you

Hi , there , I did not have anything on line 30 and my tax return is doing the same thing as everybody elses.. read my post so you can see what irs said when i finall got through.. srahm123

It has been 4 weeks since the IRS received my 2020 Tax Forms via Turbo Tax and I have not received my refund.  It did include the second stimulus payment of $600.  I received my 2019 refund in two weeks.  I am concerned about the delay.  How do we get a straight answer on the status of our refunds? I just get the message that it is being processed and a date will be provided when available.  

It’s not turbo tax. You must be clueless about what’s going on with the IRS and the government right now if you are blaming turbo tax. LOL!

Mine says same thing my friend used h&r block and received go two weeks ago what is turbotax doing because I have tried everything and it is hopeless u please tell me something turbotax because I will pay to get it done I will be waiting for a response

 

@Chefkt

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 was signed into law on December 27, 2020.  The legislation includes $900 billion for various COVID-19 relief programs, government funding of $1.4 trillion and many, many tax provision changes.  The American Rescue Plan will soon be signed into law and its legislation includes $1.9 billion for COVID-19 relief programs and many more tax provision changes.

 

The IRS says that it will issue 9 out of 10 refunds to taxpayers in less than 21 days.  However, if: 

• You have e-filed your 2020 Federal tax return,
• You are claiming a Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) on line 30 of the 2020 1040 tax return, and

I’ve got the same problem I called turbo tax and talked to someone the messed up part is turbo tax put a dollar amount on line 30 but I got both my stimulus checks I answered the rebate question truthfully that I received my money so I don’t know why they put the dollar amount on there but now like everyone else my refund is held up it’s not fare that they made the mistake and I have to suffer !

I hope it’s not a delay because of line 30 because I also trusted turbo tax to help me correctly fill out the form and trusted what they auto generated. I’m worried now that it was incorrect. 

I am having the same issue. Return was accepted Feb 11 and is still saying that it’s being processed, has said this for over a week. BUT I did not ha e anything on line 30 and have already gotten that stimulus money so why is mine taking so long if it has nothing to do with the rebate recovery?
