My Refund was accepted on 1.16.19 and today it is giving me an error. reference code 9001. this is my first year using turbo tax. any help? should i be worry?

I called the irs just now because I had reference 9001 as well I don’t know why people are saying it’s glitch or it’s an error on wmr well  the lady told me I would would be getting a letter to verify my identity so people please If your seeing 9001 call the irs to get the process started so your refund won’t be delayed

If your return was filed and accepted there is NOTHING you can do but wait patiently ... calling will not get things done any faster ... and many states including GA has not started processing yet ... so the same thing for states ... patience is needed.


Here are my annual words of caution since some are so eager to file the returns early….remember patience is a virtue and don't plan on your refund being in your account on a certain date then you won't be disappointed or overdrawn.  It is very possible that you  get a DD date then it gets put on hold while the IRS reviews the account which can delay it for months. Do not be in a rush to transmit the return … once you press that button you cannot stop the filing or make any changes until the IRS accepts or rejects the return.
Last year the IRS started verifying W-2 forms before issuing a refund which means filing your return before the W-2 is issued will not work since your return will be held up until the employer has filed the W-2 with the IRS. And if you have Earned Income Credit or the Additional Child Tax credit the returns cannot be processed at all until 2/15 so those refunds will not hit until late February at the earliest … see this page :

The IRS no longer processes returns in first in first out batches. They are processed individually so returns sent in at the same time will not necessarily process together.
The IRS states that 9 of 10 returns will process in 21 days or less from being accepted not filed. However considering that the IRS processes more than 140 million returns that means 14 million will be delayed for more than 21 days.

Think of the IRS process as a long pipe line. Some returns will be rejected before being allowed into the pipe and the rest will be accepted. Then once accepted into the pipeline many will process directly through without any delays and some will not.  Some returns will be siphoned off for further review of some kind. The basis of what triggers these reviews is a well guarded secret but some are just picked randomly every year.

Some reviews are automated and some will require human attention. The processing times will vary and due to the continued understaffing situation and the gov shutdown  they are likely to take much longer this year than last.

Quisha  you can do it I did you don’t even have to wait for the letter if you want your return faster you can just call your local office tell them you got the 5071C letter all you have to do is take in a copy of your tax return and  two forms  Of government ID ( are use my Social Security card and drivers license )and they will remove it like they did for me

I just told them I misplaced the letter while setting the appt they just need to see it was mailed

@mmmkaydee oh okay but the lady said they just mailed it yesterday if I call now and say I received the letter they might say girl please you ain’t receive the letter that fast

Lol

Lmbooo

@candice42.cg Lmao like this is just crazy smh

It really is crazy

I called yesterday and was told not to worry about code 9001. She said nothing is wrong with my returns. I guess everyone is different. Everyone in the group I'm in on FB has the code 9001. Everyone is saying something different. I would just call for self. I never got a notice in the mail.
