Where is my Refund?


Pedro

Recommended Posts

When I check some of my clients’ refund status (Where is my refund?) and those returns were already accepted (Acks) I got the next message from the IRS:

Refund Status

You may not have entered your information correctly. Please verify your personal tax data and try again.

Please confirm your Social Security Number, Filing Status and Refund Amount shown below.

I never had this situation before, hope clients receive their refund :scratch_head: .

But those clients are supposed to received their refund tomorrow, I efile those returns on January 18,2010 :dunno:

May want to check the little * on the refund cycle chart as well.

" The IRS does NOT guarantee a specific day when the refund will be deposited or mailed. "

If they are not promising to guarantee the date why would you tell your clients they are? Tell them that this is the expected day but not the promised day.

It is WAY too early to expect the refunds to show up on the website. First checks are only scheduled to go out tomorrow and that is definitely not a given.

One would think, however I had a client call me on Monday and I went to the IRS website put in the info and it said that it was scheduled for Tuesday the 26th.

As to the problem the original post referred to, it can mean that IRS site is temporarily down. I had the problem last year and it corrected itself after a day or two.

I stand corrected. But, I'm still not going there.

Yes, they only update the info there once a week. Used to do it on Sunday, probably still do. And as for that Tues date, I've noticed that they always do that on the earliest posting, giving themselves an extra 5 days, then the second week it shows the actual Friday date. I think they just don't want to have to back track if they miss a Friday deadline. You know what I mean. They do send them on Friday, but some banks don't give credit until Monday, so if they tell you Tues you won't be calling them on Friday morning because it is not in the bank yet! And when you see it there Monday you are happy because you were not expecting it until Tuesday.

I just received a quick alert concerning problems they are having with returns being filed with schedule M. Depending on how you have checked the boxes or entered amount received for the retirees, and those on social security it is causing the returns to be pulled for further review. It's possible that this too may account for it not showing up.
