People NOW Seeing Their Tax Refunds Plus Tips on What to do if Your Refund Has Not Yet Been Received

The IRS has announced that it is now processing tax returns for all taxpayers, including those who filed a return including those who claimed the EITC/ACTC. Unlike prior years, processing seems to be much smoother this year.

The number of returns processed by the I.R.S. was down about 10 percent from a year earlier, according to statistics provided by the agency. The average refund amount is also likely to be much lower this year.

The agency has however stressed that taxpayers should not expect refunds to be available in bank accounts or on debit cards until late February for those with EITC/ACTC credits, due to PATH act limitations.

Your WMR or IRS2Go status will indicate “processing” until then or will be updated if additional non-PATH related information is needed. Scroll down to see comments and tips from other readers based on the current and past tax year when the PATH act was enacted.

2024 Tax Season Comments and Status

Overall the sentiment across social mean and from reader comments is that the IRS is much more efficient this year and in line with the estimated schedule and normal PATH refund freeze restrictions.

This is likely due to increased IRS staffing levels and the end of pandemic related stimulus payments and payment of expanded tax credits, which mostly managed by the agency.

Refund payment timings differences are due to several factors, including weekends, IRS batch processing schedules, government holidays and the time needed for treasury and banks to process direct deposits.

Comments on Dealing with IRS Tax Refund Delays

You are not alone and below are excerpts from readers like you who have faced delays with their refunds in current and past tax seasons. Also included are reasons why and helpful suggestions to help you get the money you are owed. See more in this Refund update video.

Those who had dates of 22nd, most got their refund deposited on Friday. I was one of them. Those on the 23rd are the ones that will get theirs on Tues/Wed. The banks have the funds already; they just aren’t releasing until starting midnight tonight up until Wed. Think about it, if it only takes let’s just say 24/48 hours for the banks to get the refunds from the treasury…then those that went out on the 15-16…reached the banks in time for Friday releases. Those on 17-18 will release on Tues./Wed. It is the bank that are holding those refunds until after the holiday…IRS warned the delay are with the BANKS, not the Treasury or them.

The IRS had this strategy planned long time ago when they started that PATH law…they knew how they was going to roll out the releases…Treasury Dept. has the capabilities to release without being Opened.

My mom/dad gets SS and their checks are released (5) days and their bank hold it in “pending” status until the date on the check…the same thing for Refunds…some banks don’t hold (depends) on your bank policy. My credit union don’t hold. Don’t be fooled…technology allows anything to process in real time…electronically means just that…real time….just like an email can come from me to you….within minutes.

Oh by the way everyone take a look at your WMR up until you actually get your refund. I have read where some have posted that Sat they had DDD, then Sunday it changed back to ..”we are processing your return…and this weekend that got a ltr 4883 (id verification) or 4464c, and letters asking to fax 1095 health form…varies issues…their DDD was pulled and placed back on hold….

So, don’t spend that money until you actually have it in your bank account/hands…IRS is pulling a lot of tricks this year…


I know everyone may have the same question, so instead of trying to reply to everyone individually, there is nothing you can do from now until Saturday but pray you are one of the lucky ones that will get an update and DDD or 846 on your transcript between now and the 18th.

I HIGHLY recommend you call all day today and speak to as many IRS rep you need to if you got questions or concerned there may be an issues, hold or review that may delay you further..

It only takes 10-15 minutes to get thru this line…(800) 829-0582 ext. 652. Just tell them you got a code on the WMR this morning saying you were instructed to call; but you don’t recall what the code was and you are not at a computer to log in…do I have a letter being mailed or do I need to verify my ID or something? This is a sure way to get them to call up your return to take a look…

If they say just the WMR by the 18th this is a “secret” code for – You will be seeing DDD on or before that day on the WMR…you can get them to but you have to be very persuasive and persistent which take a lot of work…lol. Heck I was worn out after that call…smh. But it was well worth the answer I got at the end. :-).

HINT: Make you your message on the WMR does not say “processing”…but instead “processed”…there is a huge difference…”processing” mean something is still going on and you are not fully done…the other YOU ARE.

The reason for the different wording is for those who did not get the PATH message in the first place; and who still have we are still processing your return and a date will be available….(This is how they can tell them apart).


[Update Feb 14th] The IRS has confirmed to several readers that seeing the “PATH” message in WMR is a good thing. It means the IRS has reviewed your return and is now holding on processing until Feb 15 as required by law. You should start seeing updates to your WMR status and a Direct Deposit Date (DDD) from Feb 15th or 16th (since WMR updates overnight).

Sharon I spoke with IRS on today, if you claim EIC they should start releasing payments on Wednesday Also IRS will be working Saturday & Monday. So hopefully we all should be relieved by the weekend. Special Thanks to Author Andy for this special page!!

Jazzy …You get a FULL PAGE PATH message, starting check back for a personal DDD date after the 15th. Everyone got the 152 path message where you click on the Code 152 to read. The other one…pops up after the bars disappears…. I think people are getting confused about the (2) path message, that’s all…IRS WEBSITE NEWS:

PATH Act Tax Related Provisions delaying EITC and ACTC

The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (the PATH Act), mandates that the IRS not issue a refund on tax returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit until Feb. 15. The additional time helps the IRS stop fraudulent refunds from being issued to identity thieves and fraudulent claims with fabricated wages and withholdings.

Jennifer says in a comment on the IRS refund schedule “My return was accepted on the 17th. I received an email early Tuesday morning and checked and it was. So I guess some were actually accepted before the 23rd. I do get eitc but not actc.” Gerri on the same article says, “My return was accepted. I find it odd that turbo tax is already giving me a date range. I thought the irs was delaying EIC returns. If that’s the case, how is it possible that Turbo tax has a date for me already. I am hoping that since I filed so so early this year, that maybe the irs is processing some returns to test the system out. Maybe some of us that claim the EIC will not get delayed. Hmmmm….wishful thinking I suppose!”

This prompted the following replies:

Christine – Mine was accepted by the IRS (not H&R Block which I used because my husband is Military) today on the 18th. We have always claimed EIC, so I am hoping ours doesn’t get held. Not because I have pressing issues or bills to be paid.
Amanda – My return was accepted by the IRS. I too claim EIC. I spoke to a tax expert and was told they are not holding all EIC returns. If you have always claimed your child/children and had no major changes they are processing your return on time.
Brandon – Mine was accepted on Friday the 13th been claiming same 2 children for 10 years at hr block no changes on return at all
Kristen – So not everyone’s will be getting held? Mine was accepted today and i filled today

So what is going on?

WMR Status Graphic

This is definitely creating some confusion for readers. But the answer is simple. The IRS was clear that processing would not start till Jan 23rd. But they will clearly accept earlier. Receiving/Accepting your return vs approving/processing your refund is two different things.

To see this more clearly look the official IRS Where’s My Refund tool process diagram which shows the following sequence of how they accept. process and pay out refunds. You can see that when a refund is received (or accepted) it means that it is in queue for processing. But it does not mean it is approved and/or a refund is ready to be paid.

The three status’ in the official IRS WMR tool are (1) Return Received (sometimes = return accepted), (2) Refund Approved and (3) Refund Sent. Sometimes if you are using popular online tax filing tools like TurboTax or H&R block, you may see them showing refund approved. but that is the status in their system or based on an IRS refund payment estimate they have derived from past years. You need to go to the official IRS WMR tool page to see the personalized IRS processing status and refund information/date.

    Please plan carefully for next year; there my be no EIC/ACTC Just an FYI

    The Trump Tax Plan: A Simpler Tax Code For All Americans

    When the income tax was first introduced, just one percent of Americans had to pay it. It was never intended as a tax most Americans would pay. The Trump plan eliminates the income tax for over 73 million households. 42 million households that currently file complex forms to determine they don’t owe any income taxes will now file a one page form saving them time, stress, uncertainty and an average of $110 in preparation costs. Over 31 million households get the same simplification and keep on average nearly $1,000 of their hard-earned money.

    Trump would also eliminate the following:

    Head of Household filing status. That affects single-parent families who would pay more taxes under Single status.
    Personal exemptions. That affects families of school-age children who lose a $4,000 exemption for each child.

    Child and Elder Care Deductions

    Allow parents to deduct the average cost of child care and eldercare expenses.The deduction is not available for those earning $250,000 Single/$500,000 Married-Joint.

    Children must be under age 13. Limited to 4 children. Deduction includes expenses of paid and unpaid caregivers.
    Up to $2,000 can be deposited tax-free into a Dependent Care Savings Account (DCSA). It allows earnings to grow tax-free to pay for the child’s education at age 18.

    Taxpayers eligible for Earned Income Tax Credit receive a rebate. They can use that rebate for the DCSA. For more detail on this, see Donald Trump Tax Plan.Please plan carefully for next year; there my be no EIC/ACTC Just an FYI

  4. I’ve been following you guys for the last week and a half but didn’t bother to comment because everyone was in the same boat and for the most part everyone ask the same questions but I have been following Jazzy and everyone basically to ease my mind and wait it out. My question this morning is with everyone who got a DDD date of 2/23/2017 did all your bars on WMR move to fully orange before you saw it in your account pick? I am supposed to pick up my check from my tax preparer so would it show up in his account because I didn’t do direct deposit, so my question again is did everyone’s bars on WMR all highlight as fully orange? I still have two bars but no third one but my DDD is scheduled for today????

  6. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!! I HAD A DDD OF 2/23/17 THE BARS STILL SAY APPROVED BUT NOTHING THE THIRD BAR HASN’T MOVED TO SENT!!!! JAZZY PLEASE HELP!!

    Reply
    • Tiffany, the bars haven’t moved to SENT probably for any of us; even those we have already gotten their refunds last week. That may or not ever happen.

      You have today’s date; so I would not panic just yet, because the morning is still young and the day is long. Who do you go thru..Did you have fees or is it going directly to your bank/credit union. This could play a major part in the delay.

      Give me a little more info and I will research to see what could be causing your delay. Did you go to the frbservices.org website and put in the routing number on your tax return to see if the bank you used is still showing up; or the information in your personal account…this will give you some insight.

      Also, google the questions Is anyone still waiting from _________ the bank. See if any links come up. Also, look at reviews for that bank and see what others are saying about their services…

      I think we you will see your refund by noon today…or sooner.

      Hang in there ok….we are with you.

        Reply
        • Tammy, so sorry to hear about your dog major surgery; I pray you don’t have to reschedule or that they will allow you to pay the deposit at a later day. Just let them see that it is on its way or write them a post dated check until you see the funds in the account. Do whatever means necessary for your pet and God will take care of the rest…

          You and your dog are in my prayers and I pray for a speedy recovery. I hope God answers our prayers and your refund hit that bank right on time….now that would be awesome and by the Grace of God.

          God Bless

        • Thanks so much for the prayers and support you are one awesome person :) deposit hit about 2 pm today, Buster made through surgery he is just really sore from skin graphs so he has to stay a couple of day but dr is confident he will make a full recovery :) god bless and thanks again :)

        • Tammy, that is great news on both issues. Glad you got the refund and the surgery went well. God is good. Hope he have a speedy recovery.

          Now you relax and get the needed rest you deserve. You were dealing with much more than this Path drama and bank.

          Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it.

          Hope to see you next year :-)

  16. Tomorrow can’t come fast enough for me my bank still doesn’t see a pending deposit but sttg has updated that they received my money and took there fees and sent my money so what’s taking soooo long I’m getting so impatient I need to buy my newborn daughter a stroller before the sale is over

    • abeach250, ahhhhhh did not know you were still waiting on yours as well. Well look like you are one step closer with sttg is at least showing the actually do see it pending. Look like they are a day late and dollar short for your baby stroller. If it is not over until Friday, I think you will make it.

          Wow, I am shocked; what is going on. Have you all checked the WMR to see if anything changed. IRS did HALT some DDD’s for further issues. If nothing tonight or in the morning; I will be calling IRS just to be 100% sure it is not on their end…but instead the bank…please keep me posted. Of course I will be helping in anyway to see if we can research the delay…

          Hang in there, this better end by tomorrow…I am getting pissed myself; no reason you all don’t have that refund. SMH.

        • Nicole and Tammy, great there is no change. Whew, sure don’t won’t anyone to be caught with IRS again.

          Hi Nykky, hope all is well with you :-). You get your meds yet? I know that was the first thing on your list…

        • Thanks Jazzy,
          My DDD is the 23rd so if nothing tomorrow best believe I will be on the phone. WMR did not work for me at all this year and I have no clue why. Never even showed they recvd it!! I’ve had to call a few times so now just waiting. Really frustrating when you cant track it. Again, I will NEVA EVA use a 3rd party. I’ve been happy doin it myself on HRB.

        • Debra,

          That must be very frustrating to say the least. WMR never worked for you as well wow. Geez, that has to sucked; I will keep you in my prayers that you see some movement tonight for sure. Kinda scary for those who are left. I just hope this nightmare ends…

          Holding my breath for you guys; just don’t know what else could it be holding it up. Bank/IRS….getting a little concerned for you guys…so please update us ASAP.

          This is torture…

      • Thanks Anne, Nicole, and Jazzy! Nicole I’m still thinking you’re gonna get yours today. Didn’t you say you have a green dot card?

        Reply
      • Nicole don’t go by WMR because mine still haven’t changed. It’s still at approved. If SB received your money today, then I’m almost certain you should get your money tonight because we have the same card.

  20. My questions never get posted…. Trying one last time… Anyone use santander bank? If so do you know if they deposit same day as ddd or day early like some? My ddd is the 23rd, used turbo tax. Also on sbtpg site in a blue box at the top it says funds not received but underneath it says funds received: $xxxx my refund amt. Anyone elses look like that? I’ve been reading these posts for days and it does help so thank you all for the support

    Reply
    • On that sbtpg site did you have the big green circle like graph that showed how much you get and in red it shows how much was taken out? That’s the page you’re waiting for. I finally had movement from them this morning and my ddd is 23 and I’m still waiting for it to hit the bank but I’m sure itll be here by morning

      Reply
      • I am finally home from work amd checked and you’re right! The graph is there! Would be awesome if our money was there in the am. Good luck and thank you for your response!

  21. Hi to those of you who still remain to get there refunds. I know it’s tough, the wait is long and hard! Don’t we all know. But, your wait is almost over. It’s so close! Positive vibes for you all that the rest of you see some action. Sbtpg updated my account this morning, but, still don’t see anything at the bank yet. But, it’s on its way. And so is yours, so be patient, and positive as hard as it may be. Maybe do a little window shopping or actual shopping like Nicole is doing to pass the time. Hey Nicole, I was doing the same thing lol. I have plenty just sitting in carts ready to go, just waiting for that deposit to hit my account. Shopping eases the mind a little bit. Lol. Passes the time. Hang in there Tam, Nicole, and everyone else who hasn’t gotten your updates yet. It’s coming! It’s so close! I will be in and out today sto see how things are going for you all. Best of luck! Wishing it happens for you all today! Enjoy your day in the mean time!

      • Hello Jazzy, my day should come tomorrow as the website says DDD 2/23, so I am being patient, however I wanted to stop by and let you know how encouraging you have been and stayed positive which helped a lot of us including myself get over the hump. It actually took my mind off of a lot of issues personal as well as tax related, you are truly a god sent. I think you should start your own blog uplifting and encouraging and being a positive influence to people. I would love to subscribe to anything you write. Don’t ever let anybody tell you any different you are amazingly wonderful. If you do decide to blog or anything along that line please please let me know. [email protected]

    God is good…and right on TIME. So happy for you all; I hope throughout this experience as a whole, there were a lot of lessons learn for us all to make major changes in preparation for what is to come next Tax season. But thru the bad experience and rocky Path, there were good; God brought us together and we all met at the crossroad; street named (FORUM) and Andy (Author) was our GUIDE thru this journey; by giving us this platform. Today, most will say goodbye and travel on another path with their family, friends and love ones. I wish you all good health, prosperity and love. Keep God in your life thru these trouble times we may face ahead and He will carry you; if you can’t!

    Count your blessings no matter how large or small. Please consider paying it forward. If you can even spare $1 or $100 donate to charity, homeless (burger), pay someone’s coffee, if you see someone at the grocery store, putting items back, offer to pay the difference the dividens you will make will be 10 fold more. Remember God don’t judge us by the size of the amount you can give; but by the size of your HEART for GIVING.

    Thank you ALL for making this Forum successful. You are are the best group because you were respectful, kind, compassionate and caring to ALL. Not one single (unkind) word was spoken…wow I am blown away and so grateful to be part of this Forum.

    Enjoy your off season; hope we will all meet again for our TAX SEASON ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!

    LOVE YOU GUYS

    P.S. Congratulations to anyone else that received the good news.

    • Aww Jazzy thanks. I almost cried. What great words you have said. I’m so sad that we won’t be talking to each other anymore. I really have gotten use to coming on here everyday. I’m gonna miss you!

      • Tonda,

        Thank you for the kind words, you all have touched my heart as well and I will miss you all dearly. Who would have thought complete strangers could come together and bond because of a rocky PATH / the IRS…lmbo.

        We didn’t cross path by chance; it was God’s will…it may take months to reflect back on this experience and understand why and what the reason He brought this particular group of people together. I believe in my heart we werel chosen and hand pick by Him….

        Have a blessed day….love ya gf and everyone!

        Take care,

    • Awe, Thanks Jazzy! Thank you for all your help! I love this group! Everyone was so nice and helpful! And you were amazing! Thank you! I will be in and out to. I will be here until the others get their refunds. No one gets left behind. We are rooting for the rest of you to receive your refunds very soon!

      Reply
      • Yes Anne, no one gets left behind. I as well will keep checking in and make sure everyone has received their money. I guess we all have been doing some shopping and just waiting. Since I have a green dot card I’m hoping it post today. The lady at the bank told me to keep checking all day

        Reply
      • Anne, no thank YOU for all your help and the encouragement you been giving to others all day today, you stepped in as well as a lot of others when I couldn’t today. Teamwork at its best!!!!

        You all have been amazing; and you are correct; we won’t leave until everyone gets that refund. By end of week; that task should be accomplished.

        Your words have lifted those who are still waiting and we all owe you and (others) a debt of gratitude for caring and sharing info to help them get thru this difficult waiting game…

        Keep up the good work (team)…love you guys!

I’ve actually told a few people about this site and I will be coming here for financial advice from now on! Enjoy your money people….we worked hard for it!

      • Hi Chasta, thank you for the love gf. Glad you found our Forum a positive experience and THANK YOU for telling others. I am hoping to see you back next year; I am sure it is going to be probably more interesting that this year…hopefully we all can prepare for what is to come…

        No matter what; this group will make it a pleasant experience because that is who we are :-). No IRS, PATH, BANKS, PRE-PAID entities will dampen our spirits right?

        Enjoy the off season and spend that money and enjoy every bit of it, cause you are 100% right; we EARNED it. :-)

        Reply
      • Andy,

        You are right, I am thinking there will be Major changes in store for us next year. Sadly, to say, there may not even be EIC/ACTC if Trump gets his way. I am gearing up and will be ready to handle anything thrown our way next year :-).

        We all have 10 months to exhale and relax from this horrific experience; before we start this journey all over again down a PATH of uncertainty…
