Tax Topic 152

I filed my taxes on 02/05/2019 and they was accepted on the same day 02/05/2019. Tubotax showed my blue bar as half way filled. I checked an update on “where is my refund” I get message “a refund date will be provided when available“ no three step bar as everyone speaks of on the IRS website.

I claimed EIC. I’ve never had issues with my taxes. Second time using TurboTax. However, my state and federal on TurboTax both say accepted but I have received my state return on 02/25/2019 direct deposit but nothing with my federal just the same message. On TurboTax both still say accepted but now today the progress blue line is complete all the way across.

I’m confused on this whole thing and have no clue when to expect my federal return even though it’s been 21 days since filing and accepted.

My exact situation, it’s so frustrating! I keep hearing about an update on Friday... fingers crossed. I’ve filed with TT for the last 6 years and have always received my return within a week or two, I don’t understand the issue this year.

Did you get an update on your refund today? My return was accepted on 2/05 and still nothing just the 152 Topic. This is beyond frustrating because I keep reading about people having this issue because of the EIC etc but I don't have children so my return was fairly simple.

No update again! I called yesterday and spoke to a lady who told me the return was still being processed and no errors or letters were sent out so I should receive it by March 11th. That’s still unbelievable to me tho, I filed and was accepted 2/5 and I know several people who had the eic and already have received theirs. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to how they are dispersing the returns.

If your tax return is accepted, allow for 21 days to receive your refund.  After 21 days, we suggest contacting the IRS directly if you have not received your refund.  How do I contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS ...
