There is a difference between Accepted for processing and being approved for the refund after the return is processed ...
OK ... here is the scoop ... NOT one tax company sends anything
to the IRS. Once you submit your return it is put into a holding
"pool" on a server that the IRS has complete control over
them. When the IRS chooses to "drain" the pooled
returns they do at their own discretion ... last week they pulled a few returns
from each pool to test their system. These test returns may have been
accepted for PROCESSING however the actual processing of the returns will
not start before the 29th and if the return has EIC or ACTC on it those
will not start processing until 2/15.
The only status you can have on WMR? is that is was accepted for
processing and nothing more. Filing early will not get the return
processed any sooner.
