IRS Tax Refund Schedule

[aaarcher86]

Refresh my memory....Aren't the refunds usually deposited the Tuesday before the scheduled date.

Mine wasn't. Mine was on the exact date this year (Friday).

just filed ours today and according to the schedule (thanks, OP!) ours should be DD on february 11th! we got an extra $1,100.00 because of our new heat pump! it was definitely worth taking that extra few minutes to look the heat pump up on the manufacturer's website to be sure it qualified!

Just checked the status on my return, I itemized so it was held until yesterday. The expected date of processing is March 15th!!! I thought it would be much sooner than this...

Is that what it is saying when you check the "where's my refund" site?

I also itemize and did ours last week. Taxact is saying that they submitted the return yesterday but the status still says waiting acceptance from the IRS. According to the "where's my refund" site, they have no record of the return yet. If it's accepted by the IRS by 2/17, the direct deposit should be 2/25.

We also used Taxact, also saying waiting acceptance..

The only thing that would have made mine stall was electing to write off educator expenses. Since I could only write off $250(which is a drop in the bucket) and the standard deduction works better for me, I just didn't claim that.

Yup, that's where I checked. I was hoping others had similar situations and maybe received their refunds sooner.....

The educator adjustment would have delayed your return, but did you know it is separate from the standard deduction? The educator credit is subtracted from your gross pay, and then the strandard deduction comes off of that. You can use both. You might want to look into filing an amended return; it's really not that hard to do. Twenty or thirty dollars in your pocket is better than nothing.

I got text and email this morning from Taxact saying that our return was accepted. They say that we should have the direct deposit 2/25 but the "where's my refund" site doesn't have any info yet. I really didn't think that it would. Maybe tomorrow it will update as well.

Mine was accepted yesterday morning. I went on Where's my Refund this evening and it said that my refund would be deposited on Mar. 1. According to taxact it should have been the 25th. I'm just happy that it's coming soon.

Mine was submitted and accepted and said I should get my refund on the 18th.. so I checked the wheres my refund and it says March 1.

I may do that.

I got my refund February 11, like the refund schedule said. The Where's My Refund thing said I would get it BY something like February 18. I think the IRS just uses CYA language so they don't get calls if you bank takes a few days to process the deposit.

Thanks for posting the info. I got an e-mail at 1:15 pm today that the IRS accepted. From the table that bumps me to March 4. Still very happy to be getting a refund!!

I still dont even have all of my tax papers. Wells Fargo/wachovia has been giving us the run around for the past 2 weeks. I'm so fustrated. If its not here today I'm going to flip out.

Tax Act stated IRS accepted our State and federal on 2/16,

IRS website updated this morning and said direct deposit on 2/23 with refund.

 

[disneylvrnMS]

Our return was accepted on Feb 29. WMR on the IRS site originally said we should expect the refund no later than March 21. A week later it changed to March 13. On March 12 it showed no information available. One March 13 it only said the return has been received and is being processed. Today it says our expected refund date is no later than APRIL 24.

Is anyone else experiencing anything like this?
