On the East coast here, SBTPG has received my refund and processing fees were taken out. Guess my bank will receive it tomorrow. ... View more

I'm on EST and theres not an update for SBTPG as of yet. They've had my refund info for over a week now, but not my actual refund. ... View more

Just checked my transcript and I have a DDD of 2/27 as well. The WMR should update in the am. Seems we are all on the date now for those of us who filed before 2/15 and had the PATH message. Those of us who couldn't get their transcripts, I hope this is going to be good news for you! ... View more

I'm in Ohio. Last year many, many people were randomly selected to do identity verification. Since more and more people file online using free or inexpensive software, they did it to crack down on identity theft and fraud. You get a letter in the mail and call, respond to questions about this year and last years tax return. I dont know anyone who has been selected this year, but last year we knew lots. It slowed everything down. Had to wait to get the letter to do anything, then call. Waited about two weeks after that to get our refund. I had hoped to get ours by the first week of March as I had heard the 21 days is just a guideline, not a guarentee and that people with the PATH message dont start that clock until 2/15. Of course, most things we hear are speculation. They IRS will not give you any additional info by phone, other than what's on WMR, until it's been 21 past your accepted date (or 21 days past 2/15 for people with EITC and all) unless theres some serious flag thrown up by your return. Like two people claiming the same child and such. Basically, we all have to wait and it sucks and we'll all hope for the quickest refund possible. Still crossing my fingers for a DDD Saturday. ...

@cassandrawillis3 Where do you see an estimated refund date in your Turbotax account? I claimed EITC and was accepted before the 15th. I'm guessing most of us will see something Saturday. I'm still on processing as well and I have my fees taken out of my refund, the Santa Barbara bank has had my info since last Saturday. Those of us with EITC that filed before 2/15 will most likely get our refund next week. At least that's what I'm hoping. Last year we got pulled for random identity verification and it delayed our refund. I may pull my transcript again tomorrow. Even if you just have a store credit card you can verify your identity and pull your transcript. ... View more

I found this great article on daily and weekly transcripts and what they mean as far as updates and processing. From what I interpret, the weekly people should see an update Saturday if we filed before 2/15. If you have further info on this topic, please feel free to post it. I'm only posting what I find and there are so many different explanations out there. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://refundtalk.com/daily-vs-weekly-account-processing/">http://refundtalk.com/daily-vs-weekly-account-processing/</a> ...

Mama2Many even if you were accepted on 1/28, if you had the EIC or such they couldn't process it til 2/15 so people accepted on 1/28 without EIC will get their refund before you. I'm trying to figure out the transcript codes and what they actually mean. The website corresponds to what the cycle code sort of means, but it doesnt really explain when your refund is going to be released. Some people say the processing date is when your return will be processed by. My processing date is 2/25. So I dont know if that means my DD will be released on this Friday or not. Everything I read seems to be theories as the IRS doesn't give an iron clad date as to when refunds are given, just basic timeframes. Filing before 2/15 when you claim EIC doesnt mean you will get refund in less than 21 days. It just means they cant even start processing any EIC before 2/15. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping the Santa Barbara bank has my refund Saturday. Then hopefully I'll have by this time next week. ... View more

Seems like all of us with EIC are still processing. I had hoped for an update today after the long weekend since last Friday was the first day the IRS started processing EIC. I have my fees taken out of my refund, so my refund will go to the Santa Barbara bank first. I checked their website and the IRS has sent my info, but not my refund. Hopefully we'll be in the next batch and our DD will be sent this Friday. ... View more

@Mama2Many <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com/login">https://taxpayer.sbtpg.com/login</a> you use the same info as you use for the WMR. The IRS sends them info regarding your refund a few days before they actually send it. Right now mine shows the expected amount, but not that it has been sent. After they receive it and take out the fees, the remainder is sent to your bank or card. The timeframe depends on your financial institution. Could be the same day, could be two days. They dont process on weekends or holidays I believe. I dont know what time they update, if it's after midnight or 8am. I'm betting we see an update tomorrow. ... View more

It's a holiday so I would expect us to have an update after midnight. If you have your tax prep fees taken out of your refund you can check the Santa Barbara Tax Processing Group bank tomorrow to see if the IRS sent your refund to them. ... View more
