i did my taxes in feb 09,2010 but i send them in on feb 18,2010…and they advice me that i will be receving my refund 2-3 weeks and it has been 3 weeks already…i went to the irs.gov “wheres my refund” and it said We have received your tax return and it is being processed. Unless we find mistakes or you owe other taxes, you should receive your refund by April 06,2010..then i check again and it said by April 13,2010…I also call the Irs # and the rep. advice that its being process and by next week they should have a date when will i receive my refund…does anyone know whats going on..
I filed on Feb 21st. through H & R block software online and requested direct deposit. I have done this for the past 5 years. I was accepted on Feb 23rd and given March 5th as direct dpeosit date, then checked again and the date had changed to the March12th. I just checked again and now states if everything is ok and if I don’t owe any taxes that I should receive direct deposit on March 16th. Ugh! So frustrating – what is going on!
I did my tax and it said that i should get my refund today march 9th but nothing came in. I’ve called the IRS hot line on it still said that I should get my refund on the 9th. Do you think we just have to wait on the next recycle date which it is march 12th.
E-filed on 2-25-10 with H and R Block paid them to do it. Said it was accepted and that the deposit would be made on 3-9-10 Then checked my status today and it says recieved you information now they are saying it will be deposited on 3-25-10 if everything is okay. What is going on????
I filed on Jan. 15…got accepted on 1/18…got a 4464c letter dated the 25th of January, telling me to wait 45 days. As of tomorrow that time is up and still no refund. WMR still says the same thing has not been updated in a month. reference code 1201…ext. 462……well 45 day was up today…so I call and am told they don’t know why and to wait another 30 days….LOL…
efiled on Feb 22, and IRS Where’s My Refund site originally said refund would come direct deposit by March 9. Thursday morning it updated and my refund date changed to March 16.
Last year, filing by paper, I received my refund faster. I’m not convinced that efile is the way to go.
Also to add to my last post the irs website says it was deposited on march 5 but didn’t show up at my bank so that is why I called HSBC (h and r blocks third party)(1-888-832-5625) if yours says it has been deposited and u filed with h and r block and requested dd call that number n they will tell u where your money is
The IRS said that my check was directed deposite on the 5th of March but when i checked my account there was no money!!!!
I filed with h and r block my federal refund was scheduled to be direct deposited march 5th, no deposit on march 5th so I called h and r block today and asked them for the number to there third party bank that takes out the fees for them I then call them (HSBC) and was informed that although irs says the 5th that, that is when irs send money to third party bank, and that it usually takes three days after that to actually show up in mY account so I hope this gives some hope !! We will see on monday if it actually posts
I e-filed my returns on 2/8/2010. The list says I should have received my check which I had direct deposited on 2/19/2010. I received my state check on 2/23/2010 but still have not received my federal. Does anyone know what is going on? I aid extra to E-File and chose direct deposit but its going on 4 weeks already. Last year I did a paper return and direct deposit and received both checks within 10 business days.
My accountant, and the table above both tell me my refund should be deposited to my account on the 19th; this is the 26th, and still nothing. According to the IRS website, my check is being set on March 5. I shouldn’t be getting a physical check, I’m supposed to have direct deposit. This is the first year I’ve ever had any problems.
That’s a great reference list, but I heard on the news not too long ago that possibly refunds will be delayed in some instances. I haven’t filed yet, so I hope that I don’t experience a delay in processing once I do.
My husband and I are having the same issue, irs.gov says that our refund was direct deposited on the 19th and to contact my bank if it isn’t there by the 24th so I guess something must have happened because it seems like we all have the same situation. I called the bank today and they explained to me even if it was sent on the 19th it can take 3-4 business days to process and reach your account so, we’ll see by Wednesday.
I am a little worried after been on code 1301 for 3 weeks yesterday my status changed to “your return is schedule to be deposited on february 24, if its not there……… wait until march 1rst to contact us” the problem is that day is a wednesday and I thought they only deposit on fridays. someone got they refund on a wednesday???
Just posting that I did receive my full DD refund on 2/19 – the refund that was accepted on 2/3 – one week IRS lag for me
My Efile was done on the 2nd of Feb.. but i’m getting it in paper check form instead of DD. TaxACT schedueled it to arrive yesterday 2/18/10.. I tried tracking my refund but was told something wasn’t matching with my info and to wait a week before i could try again.. Maybe president’s day was the hold back but nothing today the 19th as well.. i will post when i do get it..
I filed on the 8th or 9th of this month (FEB) with HR Block and the next day I received a text (I signed up to be notified text messaging because I can’t remember my email password) saying that the IRS has accepted it. HR Block said I should receive it today the 19th because I set up direct deposit, but I have not received anything.
When I go to the website to check on the status, it says they cannot provide any info about my refund. The same thing happens when I call the 1800 number.
What do you think is going on with it? Is there a number I can reach a live rep on? Also, could this past Monday, Presidents Day, be the cause of the delay?
My refund was supposed to be DD on 2/19/10 and check back no earlier than 24th if no $ deposited. It’s still Fri. 19th, but I doubt that it’s arriving today ( it’s after 1pm.) Tomorrow is Sat., so I’m not going to hold my breath. Bank sees nothing pending from them. HR Block says Federal deposits only on Fri., so I think they’re backed up or were too optimistic in the first place. The same thing happened last year. It used to be that the state refund took longer, but now its the opposite. It’s too bad that the date they give you isn’t usually accurate. Alot of people think something is wrong with their info or filing in general, but from my experience, the dates given are just wrong. State has been accurate, but not Federal. Don’t count on those dates and DEFINITELY don’t be tempted to promise that $ to anybody before you get it!!! Happily, it does eventually show up in most cases.
Looks my refund is going to be available tomorrow 2/19 – just one week after the 2/12 date that the IRS efile schedule listed based on my acceptance date (2/3). Turbotax said 2/12 as well. My bank sees the direct deposit as of today 2/18 as pending for release to me tomorrow 2/19.
What’s the number to a live rep – that’s a tricky one – here’s what I do… call the 800 number (not 800.829.1040, but the other one), then press the option to repeat the menu, wait for the prompts to repeat, then press the same option to repeat again. Do that a couple times and voila, here comes a rep.
Separate update: I have a new status on the WMR site as of 02/17, which is good news:
“Your tax refund is scheduled to be direct deposited on February 19, 2010. If your refund is not credited to your account by February 24, 2010, check with your bank to find out if it has been received. Please wait until February 24, 2010 before you contact us again because we are unable to take any action until then.”
To me it just looks like the IRS had a lag that caused them to miss the expected deposit date, but only missed it by one week – I’ll post whether or not I get my refund on the 19th, one week after I was expecting it.
What is the number to the IRS?? A live Rep
It’s the afternoon of 2/15 and the refund that I was expecting on 2/12 based on the IRS e-file refund table is still in wonderland – WMR still says 2/23 though, so at least that’s consistent, will wait until the 24th and see what happens. I spoke to a surprisingly pleasant IRS agent who said everything looked good for the 2/23.
I also filed and had my return accepted on the 2nd of Feb. and my DD deposit date was 2/12, but that date came and went and NO MONEY!!! I received my state refund just 3 days after being accepted but nothing on federal! I looked it up on WMR and was given a date of 2/23.
i also was accepted feb 3rd and should have recieved my dd today 2/12… but nothing, the irs website now says 2/23 i dont know whats going on?
I e-filed with turbotax and had my return accepted on 2/3, set for direct deposit. The IRS refund chart and turbotax both have today 2/12 as the deposit date, but the Where’s My Refund IRS site says by 2/23 – and naturally I don’t have my refund today 2/12 and my bank hasn’t seen it deposited or pending. Am I going to have to wait until the 23rd, or is that date on WMR more of a just in case safe date for the IRS?
So if both of my refunds both got accepted and going into my savings account directly, when should I recieve them by, if they got accepted the 4th of FEB and what time?
i want tknow if somebody know if the irs say i should receive my refund by feb 9th if there or no processing delays or i dont owe but the 9th is on a tuesday so what day will i get my refund
you should contact the irs, because this happened to me…I had a bad feeling, so i called the irs and they said it was rejected because the birthdate and something with the income was wrong. They normally send an email like a week later after it was rejected, but to be sure when u efile you go to irs.com check the status 72 hours later thats only if u efiled them…If you send them in, then u should wait a week or two…That takes longer, and sometimes the calander isnt always right…Just call them and find out!!!
what should i do if nothing has been deposited on my account by the day that it should have been deposited
