I have been reading this post and it makes me feel good to know I am not the only one in this madness. I filed 2/17/19 and Got approved the same day my money was supposed to hit by 3/11/19 and I got my 5071c 2 days before the original deposit date. This year seems like IRS having a bunch of issues with everything.
I learned this year that you can still file and go to wmr and still see the "still processing" message then the money will show up without the DDD and the bars. I find it odd.
ANYWHO
I been waiting for my taxes since the day I first filed when I did get my 5071C I verified on May 7 because I moved from different states. I was told that it will be 9 weeks until I can get my money which set me on July 9th. WELL, I called on July 3rd and was told I will still get it on the 9th of July no letters nothing was sent. I said Ok. I called today July 8th and I was told that yeah it's going to show " still being processed" but NO ACTION was taken and got transferred to another department to fix this issue.
Upon being transferred. I was told by a really cool nice guy that the reason why it's in processing but no action being taken on my refund is that my account with IRS is NOT ESTABLISHED which why its a** wait.
The man placed me on hold and he ended up completing my account. He said when I went in on May 7 to verify in person the woman did not complete my account all she did was just verify as step 1 and not did the step 2 on setting and completing my account. Today he completed it then he said I should check on Friday July 12 because when I did my taxes I chose " PAY WITH MY REFUND" to TurboTax and he said they will send it to TurboTax and have them take out what I owe and check my bank account this Friday.
He also mentions if not Friday I don't receive it because my 9 weeks is up tomorrow on the 9th of July then to check up until August 12th no later than the 19th of August because my weeks will restart again which is BS. He said I may have LUCKED IN and hoped that its there on Friday since my account is now established and completed. All of this is because I am a first-time filer and I find this a pain in the a**. IF you are unsure call the irs at one eight hundred - eight two nine - ten fifty and they will let you know whats going on if you filed 6 months ago and got nothing its probably the fact that no one has taken action yet and thye can help out with that.
