The irs accepts a small amount of refunds early just to run them through the system and make sure everything is working correctly. There’s absolutely no chance of getting any kind of refund before february.

Plus, it takes 21 days to process the refund. Not sure where you are getting this “7 days” thing from. You said it best. Don’t “hold your breath”.

A few people are claiming that their WMR info updated and is showing DDD of 1/28 as of this morning.

Yeah mine did as well so I guess I’m eating my own words lol.

What does DDD stand for??

Direct deposit date

I am sorry JayBlaz1n but that is incorrect information. Many people, my self included, have been given a DDD already. Many say the 28th, and others say the 30th. Most times if you electronic file and have DD, it does not take the full 21 days. It never has for me and I have been electronic filing for years. 

He already acknowleged his mistake, if you would have read on you'd have seen that.

My bad. I apologize for not reading on further. Just a lot of people are saying the same thing and it is incorrect. Apologies! 

Yes I know and that's annoying, that's why I called him out on it the 1st time lol! I hope we get our money tomorrow or Wednesday :)! Good luck

Also, when you e-file after the 28th, it does typically take 7 days, or less :). That's with no EIC and all the other stuff...

Any updates 11russ11???

Not for me. If they started "processing" today, I'll see it by Friday.

Just because they accept it doesn't mean they worked on it. IRS didnt start working on returns until today. 

mine was accepted on the 14th but still not showing approved. hopefully soon
