Don’t wait to file. File today with TurboTax, and be first in line for your tax refund! Although the IRS has not yet begun accepting e-filed tax returns, TurboTax securely holds your completed taxes, and transmits them to the IRS and the state when they open for e-file. Whether you want to do your taxes yourself, get help along the way, or just fully hand over your taxes to a tax expert, TurboTax is ready to help you get your biggest refund. For millions of Americans, the tax refund, averaging over $3,000, represents the largest paycheck of the year. Getting fast access to those funds can be indispensable. According to a generational tax survey conducted on behalf of TurboTax by Talker Research, 93% of Gen Z expects to get a refund this year and they plan to use their refund to pay for necessities. In fact, access to faster refunds would mean they are able to avoid debt fees (20%), pay rent on time (35%), and pay off debt (35%). Combined with e-file, direct deposit is the fastest way to get your tax refund. Overall, the IRS anticipates nine out of 10 taxpayers will receive their refund within 21 days or less when they file electronically with direct deposit if there are no issues with their tax return. Get your tax refund up to 5 days early* with TurboTax You could get your tax refund up to 5 days earlier1 in your own bank account for a fee or in a Credit Karma Money™ checking account** for no additional cost.

Be the First In Line for Your Tax Refund” Hello, I tried to file my fed form 1120S and my WI 5S and I got a pop up message in TT that the Intuit Elec Filing Center is not open for the season yet. Why is that happening? I tried to call into TT support but couldn’t get through the frustrating system of prompts and redirects. Very frustrated! thanks, Jonny March 1, 2019 Reply I FILED ON 1//22 AND HAVENT RECEIVED MY REFUNT YET IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GIVENT ON 2/12 FROM WHAT TURBO TAX APP SAYS . WHY THE DELAY ? Reply I file my taxes on Jan 22 2019 I claimed eitc and ctc is it possible for my refund to be posted on Feb the 15 Reply Hi, The IRS expects to start releasing tax refunds to taxpayers who claimed the EITC and the additional Child Tax Credit on 2/15.The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related tax refunds to be available in bank accounts or on debit cards beginning on February 27, 2019 assuming you chose direct deposit and there are no other issues. Best, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply I filed with turbo tax and it says IRS already accepted it.How can this be? Reply IRS accepted my return on Jan 22nd 2019. Thought they weren’t starting till Jan 28th? Reply Transmission did not go through. received error “Our records indicate that you are not entitled to efile one or more formsets”. will not let me proceed past this screen. please assist, thank you. Reply I do not have my w2 yet Reply We just filed our 2013 early February. Tried to file 2014 yesterday and was rejected because they cannot find our agi. We tried the pin number and even put the 0 like it said. Still was rejected. Is this because 2013 has not yet been processed? How then can we e file 2014 now? Both will get refunds. Need this info in the system asap due to college financial aid. Is there another way? Reply Hi Peggy, Yes, your 2013 would need to be processed and in the IRS system. You also would not see your 2014 tax refunds until the IRS processes your 2013 taxes. You can file your 2014 as soon as possible and mail it in. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply I didnt file my 2012 return. I sent documentation for my 2012 return approximately 2 weeks ago. Any idea when my 2014 refund will be directly deposited? Also is there any way I can speed up the process? Reply Hi Kristopher, Your 2014 tax refund may be held up if you just filed previous tax returns until the IRS approves your previous years tax return. If you owed back taxes they will offset or apply your 2014 refund to your previous tax liability. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply How do I file 2013 taxes? I never did, and when I go to the page it says 2014 Reply I filed my 2014 raves us and state yesterday , I got an acceptance notice on both. Should expect to see an approval notice too? Is so how long does it take from acceptance to approval? Thank you Reply i have used turbotax the past 4 years – however as submitting this year 2015 it says can not efile please print and mail- why? whats wrong? what does this mean? this have never happened before? Reply Same thing happened to me is there a error. Reply I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before. Reply Why when I put my gross from 2012,I’m always getting rejected..I filed on trubotax.com….my gross of 2012 is $14.804….so why I’m getting rejected Reply Due to lengthy illness i owed back child support that was satisfied by part of my federal refund: how much longer does one have to wait for the balance to be directly deposited or mailed… I E-filed & requested direct deposit… Reply when will i got my turbo tax my name is marthamcneil Reply Hi Martha, I’m not sure exactly what you want. Are you waiting for your TurboTax product or tax refund? Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply I filed yesterday and it came back rejected, that someone else used my SSN. I don’t know how that would be possible. I refilled and am awaiting confirmation. Will I have to pay a penalty for being late? Reply Hi Elaine, Sorry that happened to you. Your rejection notice is from the IRS. If you input the correct social security number and you still received that message then you will have to paper file it and contact the IRS to let them know someone used your social security number. The IRS should show record that you attempted to e-file by the deadline so you shouldn’t receive any penalties. I would send your tax return certified return receipt and request a signature so you have confirmation that it was received. Here is more information from the IRS on how to report someone using your social security number http://www.irs.gov/Help-&-Resources/Tools-&-FAQs/FAQs-for-Individuals/Frequently-Asked-Tax-Questions-&-Answers/IRS-Procedures/Reporting-Fraud/Reporting-Fraud Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply Hello I just filled on Turbo tax and I’m trying to get my state taxes back. It says I need a E-filing pin and when I try to put my information on the IRS website it says I’m not putting in the right information. I guess I forgot my information from 2013 How do I fix this problem? When I try to call the IRS it’s always busy and I don’t know what I should do I filed with TurboTax yesterday and it came back rejected. I re-did it this morning. If I do not get confirmation today does that mean I will have to pay a penalty? Reply Lisa, the internet confirms that turbo tax has a glitch with the 1041? Is this true? If not…why did turbo tax need my daughter to complete a 1041. She is neither a beneficiary or fiduciary??? This pop up occured when she was completing the retrun just prior to e-filing. It showed up while analizing….showed a “federal error check”. Very difficult to work around this error …AND e-file. Suggestions on the internet were to type in bogus numbers and go back to the Home Page (and or summary page) and then click on the K-1 …and “delete” form. This could not be done with the Free Form. BTW Turbo suggests to filiers that they may just “continue w/out fixing the error if sure return is correct”. Yes, a filer may continue. However, when ready to file the error shows up AGAIN during a 2nd analyze process and tells the filer to file via THE MAIL …OR fix the error. ??? The (real) error is that this shows up erroneously on tax returns without being prompted. My daughter, myself (mother) and grand daughter are ALL living. My daughter is not the executor or anyones estate. What gives? Reply After I filled out my bank name, routing and account numbers, I did not receive any indication that my payment would be processed. The efile page (where Turbo Tax also asked me to buy protection) Stated $0. How do I know that my payment information has been accepted? Reply It continues to ask me for a PIN? I called the number and it said that I don’t need one I just need to put 0 where the AGI goes. Each time I have done that my Efile has been disconnected. Reply I efiled my taxes this morning (4/12) through TurboTax. Within an hour, I received a rejection notice saying that my SSN is being used as a spouse on another tax return. I double checked. I filed Single with only my SSN. Nothing is in a wrong box. Is this a TurboTax glitch? Reply Hi Neal, No, sorry unfortunately it sounds like someone used your social security number. You will have to paper file your tax return and contact the IRS. Since its close to the deadline send your tax return certified return and request a signature. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply Mine had the same problem and I had accidently checked a box (on Federal return)that stated I had previously submitted a return. I thought it meant last year. I went back in (through fix it) under Turbo Tax, and checked the correct box below that and refilled. It is now pending. Good luck! Reply I USED TURBO TAX TO FILE THIS YEAR. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO SUMINT MY TAXES I HIT FILE AND I RECIVED AN E-MAIL SAYING SOMEONE ALREADY CLAIMED MY KIDS. SO I WENT BACK, PRINTED MY TAXES OUT INSTEAD AND MAILED THEM INTO THE IRS. AM I GOING TO GET MY REFUND EVEN THO SOMEONE HAS ALREADY FILED MY CHILDREN? AND IF SO HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE? AND ALSO HOW DO I FIND OUT WHO CLAMMED THEM? Reply Hi Cilla, You did the right thing by printing your taxes and mailing them. Next the IRS will process your tax return and give you a tax refund if they think you are entitled to one. They will also contact you and the other person who filed and claimed your kids to determine who was eligible. You can also contact them as soon as possible and let them know someone claimed your kids on their taxes. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply If somebody filed my son on there taxes but they were not accepted can I file my own an carry him or is it too late?? Reply I efiled on 2/22, accepted by IRS the same date, then it indicated “changed state to SUCCEEDED AGENCY”, what is that? I requested a money card but when I checked further, the update says that my refund was direct deposited in my bank on 3/5. Never gave my bank info, and printed my return to find a routing number and bank acct # inserted! Not mine, what is going on? Anyone? Reply I filed my taxes with efiled on the 27 of febuary 2014 and its been two weeks and it says processing how long will it take till I get approved? Reply My tax person put the wrong age for one of my son’s and the wrong sex for the other. Will this be problem for me? Can I just contact the Irs to fix it? Reply I filed my taxes with someone other than Turbo Tax before the end of January 2014. It is March and I just found out that my return was rejected due to not having a Filing Pin number on my return. So I refiled with Turbo Tax on 3/10/14. It is now 3/13 14 and I still have not received the confirmation number that Turbo Tax promised me. I do however have the Filing Pin number. This has been a nightmare!!! I have never had so much trouble filing my tax return or receiving my refund. Needless to say, I am currently NOT a happy camper. I hope to hear from Turbo Tax that my income tax return has now been accepted and I will receive my refund shortly. Reply Janet, our taxes were prepared by an accountant. The accountant placed XXXXXXXX on both spaces where the routing and account number were to go. Can I write in our account numbers on the paper that’s being returned back to the IRS. The prepared papers are nicely printed. Didn’t know if that would be acceptable.

My brother in law had claimed my kids (i found out much later)– I am not even sure how he got their socials. . You may need to call them and get the information local to your state.

Or they only go by SS#. Reply same here, my return was rejected my pin and adjusted income was accurate but not accepted I want answers!turbo got my fees and I’m pissed! Reply That is the pin number the irs gave me so why isnt it working Reply I filed my tax return on 2/8 and I got an email this morning that my state return was rejected, I had help from my dad because my tax return this year was confusing he said it was a problem with turbo tax and that I needed to refile it on 2/13. I was wondering if I would get money for federal return before my state return or if it all came in at once? and if I had re-put my w2s in if it would mess up my taxes, I had rechecked it this morning after I got the email saying state was rejected so I went back in to fix whatever I could find was wrong and I noticed that all my federal information had disappeared from my account. Reply i filed with efile 3 times and they keep being rejected over a pin number i put in the agi number still wrong ok so now i want the irs to fix it how long will that take i am so angry this turbo tax was suppose to been the easy way Reply If u filed last year you should have a PIN number. If you can’t find your PIN number u can call this number and they can give it to u:1-866-704-7388. This number is basically like an electronic signature, it’s a safety feature to secure your identity. If u did not file a return for last year you will not have a PIN number! You have to put a zero in, and they will issue you a pin for the following year. You will recieve your PIN number via mail/e mail. Always ask questions or be sure when filing taxes yourself otherwise your return will be delayed due to errors. And I’m sure after you’ve made errors they probably flag it so then they have to thurally review it :-/ hope this helps! Gives you the link below asking to request ur pin from previous tax return if u click on link will ask for ur full info ssn and full home address. Once u have submitted the request gives you 5 digit pin. Its also good to pay for the Odit upgrade for that and tells you exactly what is being inputed incorrectly. Its not that bad if you use walk through/ step by step. I file my income tax for year 2014 the tax man he put a wrong pin # how I fix it Reply Go to irs.gov search bar pin put in all ur info and will give u pin right there Reply I filed 2/1 and it has been on pending status ever since! I’ve never had to wait this long! 8 days pending is a long time and I usually get my State refund within 3 days.. I wish I had some answers. Reply If my mail by date is by feb 12,2014 when can I expect a check ? I heard irs only mails checks on Friday so would it have been mailed feb 7,2014? Reply I got the following message when I tried to e-file my tax returns with TurboTax but have not been able to get an explanation from the list of questions offered or the 2 live chat operators, who seemed to not know anything about the program: “You have a tax situation in your federal return(s) that requires you to file that return by mail. Click Continue to file and we’ll help you with the filing process or visit the Review section for more details.” Does anyone know what this could mean? I am also wondering why I am not given the option to have the cost of the TurboTax program taken out of my tax refund, like I have in previous years. Reply I filed my taxes with turbotax on the 31st it is now the 7th and website still has my return under pending . Why is it taking so long for it to be accepted ? Is it going to be rejcted or why is it taking so long for anything to happen? Reply Have you received your tax yet? Reply My return was accepted on 1-24-13 and is still in process. I have already received my state on 2/04/14. Why is it taking so long for fed? Last year, I received my refund for fed on 2/05/13. This is just ridculous. Does anyone know if they do deposits in the afternoon or just mornings? Reply Woops, it was accepted on 1/24/14. Reply If u pool on it it set didn’t nature I got mine today around 8:00pm Reply mine was accepted on 1/24/14 too and still in process i am just as frustrated as you are Reply hey liz have u received your return yet? Anybody got a due date for Monday February 10th 2014? Submitted taxes on January 29th, received January 30th and accepted February 6th and ddd February 10th. Reply I got my refund tonight at 6:30pm. Reply How is it everyone is getting theirs before the tenth mine is pending for the 10th and I called bank and they said the 10th. Reply How long did it take until you received your $? Reply How is it that the IRS did not start processing the income tax refund until January 31 but on January 28 turbo tax sent me an email saying that my e-file was accepted on that date? Reply When u get accepted then approved by IRS will they release money earlier than the 10th i got approved on the 6th of February , i don’t want to wait til Monday to get my money will they release it tomorrow? Reply Yes mine said for the 10th but I got it today! !! They actually accepted them a little early despite what they said about starting the 31st Reply I filed mine 1/31 and mine was rejected resent mine Feb 1 and got a accepted date Feb 2 and I got my Direct Deposit Feb 6th at 3am. WMR never showed a deposit utnil 4am this morning and it said the 10th. This is the fastest I have gotten my money back. Reply I filed Feb 1 got rejected refiled and now as of the 10th is says received being processed. So does that mean it should be fine now Reply Did my return on 1\31 and I got accepted on 2/2 today I got an approval from IRS Thanks Turbo Tax!!!! Reply I’m jealous lol. Wish I had mine I have been accepted by turbo tax since 1/26 still pending for me. Reply That’s the reason why I wait until the day the IRS opened because it had happened to me , if I do it before the opening date for some reason it takes more time I filed mine 1/28 and it’s still not here, how much longer did it take? I am confused, I typed an EIN incorrectly and my file was rejected at the federal and state level. I fixed it through turbo tax. It said because of the error I would need to mail in the return, but then on the next screen, the system said my e-file went through and was pending approval from the government. So do I need to mail the returns in or not? Reply IND-689-01 – The year of the ‘PrimarySignatureDt’ in the Return Header must be equal to the processing year whats this mean? Reply I love Trent mendoZa Reply I had this happen too. It means you typed in the wrong year when you provided your e-signature (the section where you type in a PIN and your AGI from last year). I put 2013 instead of 2014 by mistake. All you need to do is go back and change the date to whatever the date is that you file and be sure to put 2014 as the year. Reply i filled thru turbo tax, my husband and i got married at the begining of last year and he hasnt filed taxes in over 6 years, we tried to do the e filing but it rejected us. I have tried to get ahold of turbo tax many times to resolve this and no answer ever, i have put my name on the call back list and never get called back. Can i remove my filling from turbo tax and go somewhere else even though i already paid. Reply If he hasn’t filed in 6 years, you won’t be able to file online for him. You will need to submit each of the years hard copy including this year. Once they have been processed, you should be able to file online the following year. Reply Does it take longer too receive a tax refund if I had too use a personal pin number Reply So far all is good, just waiting on IRS. Thank you TurboTax! Reply it’s PIN—–not PIN number.

I understand everyone is different but at the sametime I had no problem over the years filing early but of course I didn’t use turbo tax none of those times either. I don’t understand y this year would be different except the fact that I used turbo. Lisa, I filed my taxes early in Jan because TT said they were ready. Now my taxes were flagged for early submittal and has to be reviewed for identify theft. You should warn customers not to file early! This is extremely misleading first in first out. The IRS said do not file early again!! TT just wanted to lock in my business. Now I have to wait another 6-8 weeks! Thanks a lot!!!

I panicked for a while, but composed myself and corrected then resubmitted my return. As of now I still do not have confirmation of my return being accepted and I’m worried my mistake will delay my return or cause me to be audited. So I would like to know how the irs handles a return that is rejected, corrected and then resubmitted, and if my corrected return was re-e-filed around noon today (1-31-14) when will my return be submitted, and finally accepted by the irs. The original submission, my family members who have efiled with turbo tax all received an irs acception (or in my case rejection) within minutes. Is my return being rejected and now resubmitted the reason I still have not been accepted/rejected by the irs? Reply It does not affect it at all. Initially the irs just matches the social security number with what social security has on file. They make sure the name and birthday matches. If it does not you simply resubmit it and it gets processed as if it was never rejected. You will hear back either today orthis weekend for sure. Nothing to worry about. I have a ton of experience with this Reply This shouldn’t have any affect on your taxes, I have done this plenty of times on my taxes and family members taxes as well. I did my today and I haven’t received a approved or rejected status as of yet. Reply Laura have you received an approved or rejected status yet? I e-filed on January 31st at 11:45PM and mine is still pending….. I e-filed my return w turbo tax on 1-19-2014, and since I had been told that IRS would not open for returns until 1-31-2014, I did not check my status or watch for emails or updates. This morning 1-31-2014, I went to turbotax online site and found out that my return was rejected on the day I e-filed. After panicking for a while, I found the error (sons year of birth was incorrect) I resubmitted it. Will I be processed as if today’s submission is new, or will I have to wait longer because I was rejected earlier? Basically I would like to know if being rejected and refilling a corrected return will cause delays in being re-accepted and will my rejection cause me to have to go through an audit or some other process to get my return? Reply Not at all I was rejected on the 27th I resubmitted mines shortly thereafter. I was accepted on the 29th. Seems like things are moving pretty smooth this year. Reply My husband and I were very pleased with Turbo Tax. Not only was the software easy to use; we had a an issue and needed to call customer service. We called and spoke to a representative named Anto. He made very detailed notes about our situation and gave us a case number. He not only fixed our issue; he went above and beyond what we asked for. He ended up transferring me to a representative named Shabora. Although I was on hold for a long time, it was well worth it. My issue was resolved and an additional credit was posted to my account as well, which I wanted, but didn’t expect that it would be so easy. Most companies argue with customers about fees, charges, etc… Turbo Tax is awesome in every aspect. They definitely have us for a customer for life! I also have a very large family; some of which I do their taxes for; so Turbo Tax will be receiving a lot more new customers than they realize; just for going above and beyond for a customer! Awesome company!! Reply Do you have the number to customer service, I am also having issues and need to speak with someone. Thanks Reply My husband and I were very pleased with Turbo Tax.

Since I only have a savings account at the bank but the routing and account numbers are correct, will my refund still be deposited? Reply It depends on whether your bank accepts the deposit or not. Most banks will accept deposits directed to your account if the name, address, and other account info matches. Reply I am trying to file using the SnapTax app this morning, and there is still a message saying “There is an IRS nationwide delay for all returns, no matter who prepares them.

Why my status say still pending… Hi Pedro, Please see our new post regarding IRS processing times. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Last year, I received my refund on Feb. 1st. Reply How Do I go back in to see how muchy refund was Reply I don’t want to be a “wet blanket”,.. but why use Turbo Tax when AARP has free filing sites and the IRS has their “File Free” site too. On the other hand….. sit tight and don’t rush into the maze. YOUR money isn’t going anywhere Reply Here is some information that may help some of you understand the IRS process. Let me start by saying this: First of all, everyones tax situation is different. Just because you submitted your forms on Jan 20 and Jane Doe did too, doesnt mean you will both be accepted. Second, there is s process that happens when you hit the “submit” button. it has to be received, accepted/rejected, processed and then the refund can be issued (which is a whole other process) Third, If you have mortgage interest, student loan interest, EIC, and other deductions or credits, the forms for submitting those or the guidelines for getting those credits may not be updated yet. Example: Last year the IRS forms for mortgage interest were not going to be available and updated until March 15th (if I remember correctly) because of some changes that were being made at the federal level. Therefore, people who were claiming mortgage interest had to wait to file or not receive that credit (trust me when I say that is a credit you want to wait for). Fourth, There is a difference between proccessing your return and accepting your return. if you are getting an “accepted” message that just means that it has been recieved by the IRS. “Processing” means they are actually doing something with it. My recommendation to those of you that are doing your own taxes is to go to the IRS.gov website and educate yourselves. This could get you even more money in your return. PS. There are special rules for a child turning age 17 on or before December 31st of that filing year can still be claimed as a dependent. Students attending a post secondary accredited educational facility can be claimed as a dependent or they can claim themselves, if you claim that child as a dependent and they also need to file a tax return they cannot claim themselves or any tuition credit. Reply Hi, Thank you for your comment. There’s no need for people to read through IRS publications, that’s what TurboTax is here for. We are up to date with all of the latest tax laws and we give taxpayers the tax deductions and credits they’re eligible for when they answer simple questions about themselves. Regarding people not being able to claim mortgage interest, that was last tax season and doesn’t have to do with this tax season. Last tax season was delayed due to Congress voting on the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which is not the case this tax season. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply Hi, I have problem with fixing the Federal tax returns this year as I had ITIN for my spouse for 2012 and using SSN this year. Filed with prior PIN and wrong DOB of my spouse. —- Rejected with status codes IND-032-01 – ‘SpousePriorYearPIN’ or ‘SpouseElectronicFilingPIN’ or ‘SpousePriorYearAGIAmt’ in the Return Header must match the e-File database. F1040-526-01 – If ‘PINTypeCd’ in the Return Header has the value “Self-Select On-Line” and Form 1040, Line 2 checkbox “Married filing jointly” is checked (element ‘IndividualReturnFilingStatusCd’ has the value 2), and ‘SpecialProcessingLiteralCd’ does not have a value and ‘SpecialProcessingLiteralCd2’ does not have a value and ‘SpecialProcessingCodeTxt’ does not have a value and ‘SpouseDateOfDeath’ does not have a value, then ‘SpouseBirthDt’ in the Return Header must match the e-File database Re-entered the Correct DOB with the 2012 electronic PIN . —-> Rejected But only with this error code IND-032-01 – ‘SpousePriorYearPIN’ or ‘SpouseElectronicFilingPIN’ or ‘SpousePriorYearAGIAmt’ in the Return Header must match the e-File database After rejection , I selected the alternate option of using 2012 AGI. — Expected result Waiting for Acceptance or Rejection. After searching the blog and the correct procedure is to : If you have never filed before, or if you filed last year using an ITIN and you have a Social Security Number this year, select I am a first-time filer or I did NOT file a 2012 tax return on the prior year information screen. My Suggestion is Turbo Tax did not detect the wrong DOB entered for Federal and State tax returns. since I used the ITIN for 2012 and SSN for 2013 , it didn’t matched the SSN and ITIN properly and could not guide the users properly . Hope this is useful for other users who are using ITIN for 2012 returns and ssn this year.

Reply Bev, The way I understand and have experienced the process, is that once you send in your taxes, it will say pending; then when the IRS looks at it to make sure all is ok; such as you don’t owe them money, the return is accurate, etc…, then it will show accepted; then as they are working on it, it will say processing; then when it’s done, it will say either completed or processed. You can set it up so that you get emails and/or text messages when each step happens. You do that through Turbo Tax. It asks you towards the end. I hope this helps. Good luck! Reply NO IT WILL GET ACCEPTED WHEN IRS BEGINS, NOT BEFORE BUT USING ONLINE WILL GET YOU INLINE TO GET EXCEPTED SOONER 24 TO 48 HRS AND SINCE THERE NO GONERNMENT SHUTDOWN OR ISSUES RIGHT NOW THE DELAYS ARENT AS SIGNIFICANT AS LAST YEARS WAS Reply The IRS didn’t start processing returns until today, the 31st, so no one will have gotten their refunds yet. Yes , i did last year, makes me think that they start working on them long before the opening date Reply My daughter files a short form income tax return. She has colleg loan interest to deduct of over 1,000. Can she still file the short form? If so, where does she add it? Also if we pay her college loan, can we deduct the loan interest on our return? Reply If you claiming her as your dependent then you deduct it. If you not, then she deducts it on 1040A or 1040. Reply The only thing Im dissappointed in is being auto upgraded for no reason. I paid $56 to prep and e-file my fed and state. After I paid the fee, I checked to see how much it cost me last year and it was only $14.99. Next year I will check other sites to see what theres fees are. I dont own a home or anything, and nothing has changed since last year so why the change in fees??!!! Just ridiculous. Reply I did my taxes and received an rejection error due to my priors year pin. I contacted the irs and they stated that they couldn’t give me a pin however I could use my aig from last year. But I keep getting redirected to enter my pin. What should I do? Reply They have began accepting them men was filed the day before yesterday and it was rejected I resent it and I got a acceptance today and I sent my daughters through and she was also accepted by the irs. It says congratulations you were accepted early by the irs. Reply It clearly states for ppl who got it accepted early was for testing purposes only and does not mean ur tax return was actually excepted its pretty much a slap to the face. Reply ND-689-01 – The year of the ‘PrimarySignatureDt’ in the Return Header must be equal to the processing year. Any clue what this means? got rejected Reply I had this happen too. It means you typed in the wrong year when you provided your e-signature (the section where you type in a PIN and your AGI from last year). I put 2013 instead of 2014 by mistake. All you need to do is go back and change the date to whatever the date is that you file and be sure to put 2014 as the year. Reply My husband filed his taxes last night and got his notification this morning. I filed mine on the 14th… we both used turbo tax, shouldn’t mine have been accepted first. Wth Reply I tried filing today but it would not let me pass the State& Wrap it up portion. I did all I needed in that part. What is wrong with it? Reply I do not use Turbo Tax. I use Tax Act. I did my taxes via Tax Act on 1/28/2014..I received a acceptance from the IRS the same day. So IRS is accepting returns at this point.. Whoever at Turbo Tax saying they are not do not know what there talking about, that is why I do not use them.. Reply Hi, We published this post the day IRS announced their opening day and can only announce the day they use. Please see our FAQ for reasons that some tax returns may be processed earlier than 1/31 https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901514-important-dates-and-deadlines-for-2013-federal-tax-returns http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/2014-Tax-Season-to-Open-Jan.-31;-efile-and-Free-File-Can-Speed-Refunds Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply I DONT KNW IF MY RETURNS HAS BEEN ACCEPTED ARE REJECTED IT KEEP TELLING ME STILL PENDING DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG IM WORRIED Hi, Please see our new post regarding IRS processing https://blog-turbotax-intuit-com-develop.go-vip.co/2014/01/31/wheres-my-tax-refund/ Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis I filed mine with Turbotax and also got a notice that it was accepted by the IRS yesterday. Reply I have a question, I filed my taxes like I do every year but this year it said I had to print my taxes and send them even though I e-filed, what does that mean? does that mean they won’t process my efile? it didn’t give me any special forms, just said I had to send my return in also? Getting an acceptance letter is not the same as having your return processed. Processing starts 01/31/2014. Everyone can prepare their taxes earlier than 01/31/2014. Its the processing that matters. Actually Turbo Tax is telling the truth. If you call the IRS the automated machine lets you know bythe 31st of January they will be accepting returns. Reply Actually, the IRS will accept, but not process the returns until Jan 31st. Reply LOL, what a dummy….Turbo Tax is saying that because IRS is not back to work until 1/31/14 due to a partial shutdown of the Goverment. Get your facts straight. Reply lets clear up some…1accept is not approved accept-means no red flag text or spelling ssan and so, then processed then approved then sent. Reply I tried Taxact., went back to Turbo because of their check and double check system. Reply greeneyezzz, I respectfully disagree with you. I have had nothing but great experiences with Turbo Tax. They have gone above and beyond my expectations with their customer service. My daughter used TaxAct last year and wasn’t happy with them. She’s using Turbo Tax this year. I guess everyone has their own opinions and experiences. That’s why competition is good and we are as consumers that we have more than one choice to make. I’m glad TaxAct works for you. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. That’s why we live in the USA! Good luck and take care. Cindy Reply Yeah they are accepting early but they are not processing until today…. Submitting early is a bad idea, you may have to wait longer then normal it happened last year with people that filed early before they opened. Reply Turbo Tax began accepting tax returns on January 2, 2014. Reply What do it mean if u aint got a email yet saying u got approved Reply It means stay in school and don’t do drugs. Reply what does it mean when they reject your tax returns? Reply Hi Nikki, Rejections can occur due to incorrect social security numbers, names used do not match IRS records, duplicate social security numbers used to name a few. You should receive a rejection code that explains why your tax return is rejected. Here is a list of rejection codes http://www.irs.gov/uac/Common-Error-Reject-Codes-%28ERCs%29-for-Individual-Tax-Returns-&-Suggested-Solutions Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply Why did I have to pay a $29.99 ‘bank fee’ to have my Free tax return deposited into My bank account???? This is false advertising. Reply because you chose to have your state direct deposited most likely if not it’s because the free version only allows you to file standard tax forms which are a 1040 or 1040a all extra forms you gotta pay for Reply I filed with TurboTax on January 6th and was accepted on January 24th. I’m currently awaiting a refund date. Reply start the reg e-file the 31st… yes a bata was ran to check the sys and some may have their refund-ps check e-mail in morn.

The site says the irs will not start processing returns until January 31 but I got an email yesterday saying mine was denied. Reply Got a email said my taxes were rejected went back on line they took me through but how do know if its right Reply hi tiffany mine are in the same boat how do we know got me Reply They will reject them again if not! You can call or text them to see if all is in line with your return! Had the same problem and I was emailed that IRS excepted mine! Reply How do I amend 2012 return if I used turbo tax last year?

Reply ask,in your account, should be able to amend SSAN Reply rejected code IND-943 – The Spouse SSN in the Return Header has been systemically locked based on IRS information which indicates there is not a filing requirement for this SSN ..what does it mean?? Reply why are some people getting emails about being Accepted, and some are not? Reply Because it’s a test Run by the IRS they have to know there systems will be able to handle the influx of tax return once they fully open on Friday Reply Chris, it usually is a typo error. It should be reviewed and resubmitted. Reply Just got email that mine return was rejected. So I fixed it but now I will be back on line as it shows my submission date 01/28/14 before I submitted on 01/15/14, does this mean that my refund will be delayed?? Reply The IRS didn’t start processing returns until today, Jan 31st, so no one will have gotten their refunds yet. Reply It says you have to wait o get accepted. What happens if you get denied? Can you file your taxes again? Or make changed to it if u have to Reply Hi Triana, If your tax return is rejected, you can fix it and resend it.

I recommend them highly. I prepare my taxes, my children’s taxes and my mom’s taxes. One year I used a competitor and was quite dissatisfied. Thanks Turbo Tax, you’re worth every penny! Reply I filed on the 16th havnt heard nothing yet Reply turbo is the best for tax returns Reply I filed with TurboTax on Jan. 25th. This is my first year that I’ve filed with Turbo. I pray that I am not disappointed. I normally allow H&R Block, but the fees are ridiculous. Reply Those that will be first in line for their Tax Money are those that don’t pay taxes and we know who they are. The same ones with the Food Coupons, Welfare Checks and Obama phones. Reply I used to use TurboTax every year until this year. Seems they have an issue with auto upgrading your account to the basic and chage you at the end. Talk to customer rep, and she gave me a code to reduce the charges, but could not tell me why I was being charged in the first place. After a quick internet search This problem has not only effected me but ALOT of people complaining about auto upgrading this year. Completed taxes with TaxAct this year, no problems and only paid 14.99 for submission of state. Oh and my refund was like 4 dollars more, not a big deal but I will take it. Reply Hi, Individuals with relatively simple tax returns are able to file their federal tax returns for free and file their state tax returns for $14.99. In addition, to that TurboTax may give you an additional 5% on top of your refund if you’re able to use free or Basic, If you use Deluxe, Premier or Home and Business you may be able to get an extra 10%. We want to make sure you get every tax deduction and credit you’re eligible for so we put you in the product that is related to your tax situation. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply Love, love, love Turbo Tax. I am 70 and found it easy to use. Just a note…if you file in Michigan and income is under $30,000…your state tax is also free! Need to come in under the Michigan.gov website in order to get it, but, hey, $15 bucks is $15 bucks! Thanks Turbo Tax…see ya next year! I am very confused by your statement. Turbo tax gives you an additional 5% of what? Shouldn’t your taxes be the same amount back no matter what company you use as long as you put in the exact same information into each program? Turbo tax didn’t state anything about an extra 5% when I filed my taxes Hi, TurboTax has an exclusive offer and is giving 5 – 10% on top of your tax refund. Please read more here https://blog-turbotax-intuit-com-develop.go-vip.co/2014/01/21/exclusively-with-turbotax-get-an-additional-bonus-on-your-federal-tax-refund/ Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis TurboTaxLisa, I was a little disappointed about being told I would get an extra 5%. It makes it look to consumers that it’s an extra 5% of your refund; when it IS NOT. It is the opportunity for the customer to purchase Amazon gift cards in increments of $100.00; and the customer gets an extra 5% of what they purchase for a gift card. So if they purchase a $100.00 Amazon gift card, then they will get a gift card for $105.00 instead of $100.00. 100.00 x 5% = 105.00. I found this to be a very deceiving way to lure customers that way. That is the only negative thing I can say about Turbo Tax. To me, it’s like false advertising. Other than that; I love everything else about TurboTax. They go above and beyond when you have an issue. I dealt with Anto and Shabora in Customer Service. They were both totally awesome! I am referring and getting TurboTax many new customers this year because of my experience. My husband and I will be customers for life! Awesome company! Just please fix that one issue. Thx. 🙂 Cindy 🙂 I made a mistake and used the home and business software instes d of using the basic version for 29.95 would that get me audit or affect my return ? Or did I just take a 70$ lost Hi Atika, You will not be audited for using Home and Business. In addition depending on what your tax situation was last year Home and Business may be the best product for you to maximize your tax deductions and credits. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis But I do not own a home or business that’s why I was wondering if it makes a difference This only works if you receive your W2’s early and have no itemized deductions. Yeah you can do an amended but who wants to file their taxes twice? I’d rather wait until I have everything and do it right the first time. By law companies have until 1/31 to send out their tax forms and most wait til the last minute. Reply I filed my taxes early even though they were rejected but its good to know they are doing it early. I filed mine on 1/9/14 Reply How long does it take for it if you choose the pre paid card?…I normally have it direct deposited, but just had an identity theft so closed my account 🙁 Reply About a couple of days Reply Ive filed using Turbo tax the last few years and its a great program !!! As for the IRS no complaints there either I filed last week and it said on Jan 31 it would be accepted by IRS . Just received an email stating that it had been received Look forward to future emails stating acceptance and check to be deposited a few days into Feb. Reply Mines got sent but not acknowledged yet. On the 24, so kind of confused by that but can wait. Reply I totally agree, I went to H&R Block every year for 6 years, then they stopped doing that “leave here with part of your refund” thing and paying almost $250 didn’t seem like a smart thing to do when I wasn’t getting part of my refund. So last year I used turbo tax, and my in-laws went to H&R Block, I got my refund 9 days earlier then they did, and I paid $200 less than they did. I will use turbo tax for the rest of my tax years Reply You have to wait till the IRS opens on the 31st. Its like we are waiting in line for a store to open. We will be in the front of the line when it does. Reply I have filed with TurboTax for the last 5 years and never had a problem. I always receive my return within 5 days of receiving their ‘accepted’ email. Direct deposit is the quickest, easiest way to go! Reply last year for my was the same, I sent my refund on Jan 22 and if I don’t recall wrong I got paid on Feb the 5th very fast, that’s why I being using turbo tax for the last 9 years Reply Last year I was accepted on January 15 and got my refund 2-26 thanks to turbotax 🙁 my return was with thousands of other returns that Tt sent through too early then their system retired out and so I was reaccepted 2-20 hate Tt all the people who filed after me had their returns for weeks before I was accepted. I finally had to get a tax advocate. Hoping for a better year if not it’s back to tax act. Reply The Irs just accepted my return did taxes on 18th got accepted earlier then the 31st Reply they said its physically impossible to accept them. the machines dont even open until midnight of the thirtieth. Are you sure/ Reply Yes I did mine on 24 and got accepted on 27th. But keep in mind that they only selected a certain amount for a test run. We still have to wait until 31 for processing like everybody else. Some of us will probably recieve ours a little earlier that’s all. I’m happy to report mine was accepted earlier today 1/26/14. Hoping to see an updated status on where’s my refund soon! Yea for the IRS! Reply Just curious as to when you e-filed Reply i just finished doing my taxes on turbo tax about 15 minutes ago and already received a text saying the state accepted my return. Reply The IRS wasn’t accepting returns last year until Jan. 30th, but I submitted mines early last year and got minds back on the Feb 1. This year I submitted my returns early and now TurboTax will not send them in until Jan. 31st.. That sucks! Won’t used them next year! Reply Hi Kamesha, We can’t send your tax return until the IRS opens for e-file, which was the same as last year. Please see our FAQ regarding why a few may see their tax returns accepted by the IRS before their official e-file open date. https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901514-important-dates-and-deadlines-for-2013-federal-tax-returns Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply Turbo Tax Lisa, unfortunately there are a lot of other Turbo Tax users on this site that have already had their returns accepted this year making your statement false. Hi Etta, We have to go by the IRS official open date, which is 1/31 per their e-file date announcement here http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/2014-Tax-Season-to-Open-Jan.-31;-efile-and-Free-File-Can-Speed-Refunds https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901514-important-dates-and-deadlines-for-2013-federal-tax-returns Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis It is being reported that the IRS began accepting returns on 1/24. I know the official date is 1/31 but they are processing returns now. Does Turbotax have some agreement with the IRS not to submit them now? If I filed on January 9, 2014 but just got a rejection on jan 28 to fix an error will my return be submitted on that day again or will I be thrown to the back of the line? IRS will not start process untill 1/31/2014 can accept sooner. but its good to get a heavy load on the 31st. can get IRS working hard to keep up and do a better job on refunds Reply Just know that if you have children you can only claim them until the age of 17. Then they become a different dependent category. I didn’t know this until last year. I thought they were EIC qualified until 18. WRONG!!!! Reply ? full time student still living at home up until 25? Reply NOT TRUE I GOT EIC FOR MY SON AGE 23 AND SON 17 AS WELL Reply They are EIC they just don’t get child tax credit. Experienced taxed preparer Reply You are talking about child tax credit, which is true but you can claim eic until that child turns 25 and they are still enrolled in school. I have a 18 and 19 yr old. Reply I filed and received my return early last like in the first week of Feb. Reply they started processing my friends on the 24th Reply I have been useing Turbotax for several years now and I am very happy with y’all. Keep up the good work. Reply I got my email today 1/24/2014 saying I was accepted by the irs just like last year a week early I’m sure others got there emails today too I can’t wait Reply Mine said it was accepted today(1/24), but the IRS was still not processing until 1/31. Honestly I’d be surprised if I saw a deposit before the 2nd-3rd week in Feb. Reply I just got a text saying my efile was accepted from the IRS…so I think they are doing it earlier than the 31st this year! Reply Has anyone had theirs accepted yet? Reply I have always used Turbo Tax and as always, it’s the best. Never had any problems, I e-filed on January 22, 2014. I received an e-mail stating that I could e-file on January 22, 2014. I was surprised that I received the e-mail because I thought no one could start filing before the 31st of 2014? Surprised me, but I did file it, it says pending! Reply turbo tax is great but y the charges if we do it our self Reply The reason they charge people is because it is a business, They are offering a service that is updated yearly and that requires people and time. That and for the people that are in such a rush to get their refunds. WOW take a chill and relax its on its way mine said that it would take up to 21 days for completion after the 31st. Every year is different.. Stop posting the same questions over and over again. Reply this is my first year filing taxes. i used turbo tax also but not sure if i done it right it says i couldnt go any farther till i paid twevle dollars. Reply Does this 31st have anything to do with state refunds too? Reply What all do we need to supply the tax preparer at time of filing for this year. Reply I to hear soon Reply Can I use my last check stub with turbo tax? If so how Reply You can use your last pay stub to file but it doesn’t have all the info you need like retirement contributions and codes and the employer ID number that you will need. But you can get a pretty accurate estimate of your refund though I had a problem with IRS last year. THEY STILL HAVENT GAVE ME MY FEDERAL REFUND! I keep getting excuse after excuse. Reply Last year I filed early and they told me that the IRS wouldn’t accept it til a certain date. It was accepted early and i had my return by the 10th of Feb. I am hoping this year will be the same. Reply Be patient , they update everyday they usually give out dates on tuesdays and tursdays for release days Reply I work with someone who went to a less popular site on Jan. 12th and he was able to submit his return and it was filed with the IRS at that time..Turbo Tax says mine is still pending and cannot be transmitted to the IRS until Jan. 31st. Reply I submitted my return last year early and the IRS accepted and processed it about a week before opening day. I got my refund within a few days. Reply Thankyou, you guy’s are awsome. Reply I have used Turbo tax for the last seven years and I think it is great and easy and user friendly. I have never had a problem!! I recommend it to everyone I know!! Reply I filed our taxes around the 15th of January of last year and had our taxes back the February 1. I was happy. Reply That’s exactly when I filed, the 15th. I had my refund on 2/2. Reply When did they accept them and did u use turbo tax Reply I got the accepted email and my refund in the same day February 1 and Yes I used turbo tax. I have used Turbo tax for 3 years now. I really like turbo tax. they started on the 20th of jan last year. My friend’s return was accepted today he filled it on the 10th of this month Reply So did I. I hope it like that this year. Reply Has anyone received a notice that this year taxes has been accepted and processed. I filed mine on the 17th and it says its pending. I know the IRS doesn’t open up until the 31st but last year mine was accepted early even though they wasn’t processing anything until the end of January. I had my return by February 1st. Reply Amy i also filed around the 15th and received my taxes back on Feb 2. i have been filing that way for about hree years and i always get mine back around same time. Reply That’s because TurboTax submitted them in before IRS accepted date. Which was Jan. 30th last year. Tou won’t get them back this year that early. Reply Is TurboTax going to have a place to submit the Pin # the IRS sent me to use on this year’s return so I don’t get caught up in the identity theft investigation again? Reply I for one will never file early again. Last year early filers are the ones that the irs pulled for a closer look. As a result I got caught up in the identity theft investigation then the irs deleted my e-filed return. I had to paper file and get a tax advocate. I got my return in November 11 months later Reply Deposit my Federal tax return into my back account Reply Has anyone filed early last year with turbotax? If so did they receive that email that said it was accepted early? I guess what I’m trying to say is, is there an advantage to filing early with turbotax because last year I did a different software. Reply I did and I got the confirmation email and I got my taxes back earlier than they said I would. Reply The IRS will NOT accept any tax returns before January 31, 2014, so filing early just means you will be ahead of the pack. Reply they accepted some refunds already Southern Belle thats not true. Mine was accepted today 1/26/14 Yes, I filed with through turbo tax on the 19th & my returns were accepted today!!!!!!!! Not true!!! My return has been accepted!!!!! I filed on the 16 of this month and it was accepted on the 23 rd they said my refund on the way. I did it with turbo tax and get direct deposit. I filed early last year and it did me no good at all. People that filed after me were getting their refunds before me by about a week. Tax Slayer seems to be the quickest one out there. I only use Turbo Tax because i have for so many years its just convenient. I should switch. I STRONGLY encourage you to use ANYTHING but TT. Reply We did. We got ours back a week earlier than projected. Turbo Tax is great and our last two years as well, both times we had our return by the second week in Feb!! Good Luck!! Reply I filed mine early last year, as well. Got mine back in about 8 days. 🙂 That’s always how it works, They say it won’t be processed until a certain date but usually gets accepted a week earlier. Hope the luck continues this year When did you file has anyone ever owed money to the irs if so how long did it take the remaining balance to deposit I used turbo tax last year and I highly recommend it to everyone!! Reply well i had mine filed by jan. 10th last year and it was accepted jan 28th and my deposit was made to my checking acct on feb 1st so i was very happy Reply Yep. I got my refund fast.

I love turbo tax, I have been using them for the last 4 years and never once had a problem! I highly recommend! Reply I filed early last year and it was accepted early, got it back first or second week of Feb. Reply Last year, IRS was supposed to start processing returns on January 30th. I filed mine using TurboTax on January 16th, the same day I got my 1099-R. TurboTax submitted it that day and I was told not to expect an acceptance response until the 30th. I got the acceptance email on the 24th and I had my return direct deposited on February 6th. Had I gotten my 1099-R on the 15th, I’d have gotten my return on February 1st like Amy did.

Reply I filed on January 17th last year, and the refund was in my account on February 1st. This year, I filed on the 14th, and haven’t received any news as of yet. BUT my fiancé filed on the 7th, and he just got confirmation that the IRS has accepted his return for processing (a full week before their published date of the 31st), It is possible his refund won’t be authorized until the 31st, tho’. I’ll let you know. 🙂 Reply Actually yes our return was efiled early with turbo tax and was accepted as a test return for the new system changes they had last year. Was crossing my fingers for the same this yr but no such luck. We got our return back last year direct deposit about the time they started taking all returns.. That was so nice.

Can we file with last pay stub? Reply Yes you can file with last pay stub you do however still need your employers fein number Reply IRS will accept your tax return without a form w-2 on February 15, 2014. You will have to explain your efforts to obtain the w-2 and why you were unsuccessful. Reply Honestly stop giving tax advice I’ve filed my last 3 years tax returns with my last pay stub its simple. And they do accept them and process earlier than projected date Please DO NOT listen to southern bell Legally, yes. But if you know your tax situation and can figure out what your w-2 will say by using your last pay stub and have worked at the job previous years to know all their tax numbers, then you shouldn’t have a problem. I’ve finished my Federal taxes but I;m still unable to download my state taxes Reply Yep me too… I am thinking because I owe the state this year for the very time. I think because I made too much money for 2013! Reply I don’t owe State but I can’t file my state either Nobody can answer that u need to find out why…..u should have did that earlier….anyone can file state unless they owe someone,childsupport, garnishments That is incorrect it is a program problem I have used Turbo Tax for years and never had a problem until now if you have your w2 info and put it all in there for federal it should have all your state info already in there for the state taxes Reply I hope that turbo tax let me know when I will expect to receive my return and if they can use the turbo tax debit car to receive my return in cash. Reply I Have Used Turbo Tax The Last Few Yrs. When I Done them This Yr it Says $0 Pending I Saw That A Few Othr People Have The Same Thing.. Is This Ok Will It Say the Amt When Its Accepted?? Reply Are you using your last check stub? Reply It should give you an amout for your refund pending!!! Reply mine has the amount Reply Unfortunately it is the identity thieves who are doing a lot of the early filing these days since the IRS has a habit of sending refunds without checking the return against the tax data they have on the individual or even the address specified for the refund to be sent to. Last year my wife got a note from the IRS acknowledging her filing even though we have filed jointly for decades and the address was in the deep South. Of course, once someone else files with your SS number, the IRS will delay sending your refund even if you stopped them from sending a refund check to the crook. Reply It wont matter if you file on Jan 2 or Jan 31, you will get your refund approx 8 days after Jan 31. Reply on a norm, there is a tax refund cycle chart that shows when a return is accepted by the IRS and when a refund is “expected” to be deposited. If you ever get a notice that says it will be deposited on a TUESDAY… be prepared as it will not be there. In stead you will have questions to answer before the funds are released. Reply Not true. I filed last year on the 11th, processed on the 23rd as a part of their early testing. It was processed the 30th and in my account on the 31st. What KIND of questions? And how did you come to this conclusion? Thanks Nevin for the info. Reply That is not a fact. Last year the IRS started processing returns on the 30th of Janurary and I received mine on 2/2. The new system allkows returns to be processed 24-48 hours after acceptance. Reply Not true…filed January 14th last year accepted onthe 24th recieved dd on feb 1. Reply It’s January 2nd, 2014, and Turbotax won’t accept my return yet??? Whats up???? Reply Are you using your last check stub? Reply did you not read this? NOTHING is even sent to the irs before the 31st of jan, so why would it be accepted on the second of jan? Reply i think when it says turbo tax will start accepting returns, it means they will let you do your taxes but as stated nothing will be sent to the irs until the 31th, it doesnt matter when you do them, none will be sent to the irs until then so they cannot be accepted until at least then. Kimberly,,,The IRS has accepted some returns. They began accepting some returns filed electronically on the date that they started accepting the IRS FREE FILE..Check the IRS.GOV website for that date. I filed last year AND this year on Jan 20..ALL EFILES ARE SUBMITTED TO THE IRS WHEN YOU HIT ENTER…THEY JUST DO NOT ACCEPT THEM TILL LATER. Therefore many people will have their refunds by direct deposit on Jan 31 IF they were accepted earlier.Last year I filed on Jan 20, and my refund was in my bank account on Feb 2! YES IT DOES HAPPEN..and I have my fingers crossed for ALL of us!!Just to be clear, once you file pay and push submit..IRS has your return in their limbo..NOT Turbo tax, or any other preparer…Its all about when the return gets accepted. NO refunds will go into accounts, though tillON/ after Jan 31..hope this helps!! accept and approved, not the same. must be processed then approved then to your bank.accepted means only Irs has it and did not reject for you basic info. SSAN, EMP tax id , anything that was not right, a Jr. left off a name any error in text. Reply My daughter turned 24 May 30, 2013 and she was a full time student can we get the earned income credit on her….. Reply You are kidding about the help right? Last year I kept emailing for help and I never received a response. Therefore I did my taxes wrong and ended up with a lesser rebate. Am I doing this this year, not sure, too stressful. Reply how can u do it wrong it wont let u make a mistake unless u put in the wrong amount of money u made Reply U can make plenty of mistakes examples wrong ein, social wrong, if u file with one or two last names, a lot you can Google some reasons Janet- I don’t know that there is an email option…. there is a chat or phone contact option for assistance! Just go to the help section.. easy peasy! Reply any typo Janet, you can always amend a return to make corrections based on new financial information you receive after you file in order to possibly get a bigger refund.

Hi, The IRS expects to start releasing tax refunds to taxpayers who claimed the EITC and the additional Child Tax Credit on 2/15.The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related tax refunds to be available in bank accounts or on debit cards beginning on February 27, 2019 assuming you chose direct deposit and there are no other issues.

We just filed our 2013 early February. Tried to file 2014 yesterday and was rejected because they cannot find our agi. We tried the pin number and even put the 0 like it said. Still was rejected. Is this because 2013 has not yet been processed? How then can we e file 2014 now? Both will get refunds. Need this info in the system asap due to college financial aid. Is there another way? Reply
Hi Peggy, Yes, your 2013 would need to be processed and in the IRS system. You also would not see your 2014 tax refunds until the IRS processes your 2013 taxes. You can file your 2014 as soon as possible and mail it in. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
I didnt file my 2012 return. I sent documentation for my 2012 return approximately 2 weeks ago. Any idea when my 2014 refund will be directly deposited? Also is there any way I can speed up the process? Reply
Hi Kristopher, Your 2014 tax refund may be held up if you just filed previous tax returns until the IRS approves your previous years tax return. If you owed back taxes they will offset or apply your 2014 refund to your previous tax liability. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply

I filed yesterday and it came back rejected, that someone else used my SSN. I don’t know how that would be possible. I refilled and am awaiting confirmation. Will I have to pay a penalty for being late? Reply
Hi Elaine, Sorry that happened to you. Your rejection notice is from the IRS. If you input the correct social security number and you still received that message then you will have to paper file it and contact the IRS to let them know someone used your social security number. The IRS should show record that you attempted to e-file by the deadline so you shouldn’t receive any penalties. I would send your tax return certified return receipt and request a signature so you have confirmation that it was received. Here is more information from the IRS on how to report someone using your social security number http://www.irs.gov/Help-&-Resources/Tools-&-FAQs/FAQs-for-Individuals/Frequently-Asked-Tax-Questions-&-Answers/IRS-Procedures/Reporting-Fraud/Reporting-Fraud Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Hello I just filled on Turbo tax and I’m trying to get my state taxes back. It says I need a E-filing pin and when I try to put my information on the IRS website it says I’m not putting in the right information. I guess I forgot my information from 2013 How do I fix this problem? When I try to call the IRS it’s always busy and I don’t know what I should do
I filed with TurboTax yesterday and it came back rejected. I re-did it this morning. If I do not get confirmation today does that mean I will have to pay a penalty? Reply
Lisa, the internet confirms that turbo tax has a glitch with the 1041? Is this true? If not…why did turbo tax need my daughter to complete a 1041. She is neither a beneficiary or fiduciary??? This pop up occured when she was completing the retrun just prior to e-filing. It showed up while analizing….showed a “federal error check”. Very difficult to work around this error …AND e-file. Suggestions on the internet were to type in bogus numbers and go back to the Home Page (and or summary page) and then click on the K-1 …and “delete” form. This could not be done with the Free Form. BTW Turbo suggests to filiers that they may just “continue w/out fixing the error if sure return is correct”. Yes, a filer may continue. However, when ready to file the error shows up AGAIN during a 2nd analyze process and tells the filer to file via THE MAIL …OR fix the error. ??? The (real) error is that this shows up erroneously on tax returns without being prompted. My daughter, myself (mother) and grand daughter are ALL living. My daughter is not the executor or anyones estate. What gives? Reply
After I filled out my bank name, routing and account numbers, I did not receive any indication that my payment would be processed. The efile page (where Turbo Tax also asked me to buy protection) Stated $0. How do I know that my payment information has been accepted? Reply
It continues to ask me for a PIN? I called the number and it said that I don’t need one I just need to put 0 where the AGI goes. Each time I have done that my Efile has been disconnected. Reply
I efiled my taxes this morning (4/12) through TurboTax. Within an hour, I received a rejection notice saying that my SSN is being used as a spouse on another tax return. I double checked. I filed Single with only my SSN. Nothing is in a wrong box. Is this a TurboTax glitch? Reply
Hi Neal, No, sorry unfortunately it sounds like someone used your social security number. You will have to paper file your tax return and contact the IRS. Since its close to the deadline send your tax return certified return and request a signature. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Mine had the same problem and I had accidently checked a box (on Federal return)that stated I had previously submitted a return. I thought it meant last year. I went back in (through fix it) under Turbo Tax, and checked the correct box below that and refilled. It is now pending. Good luck! Reply
I USED TURBO TAX TO FILE THIS YEAR. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO SUMINT MY TAXES I HIT FILE AND I RECIVED AN E-MAIL SAYING SOMEONE ALREADY CLAIMED MY KIDS. SO I WENT BACK, PRINTED MY TAXES OUT INSTEAD AND MAILED THEM INTO THE IRS. AM I GOING TO GET MY REFUND EVEN THO SOMEONE HAS ALREADY FILED MY CHILDREN? AND IF SO HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE? AND ALSO HOW DO I FIND OUT WHO CLAMMED THEM? Reply
Hi Cilla, You did the right thing by printing your taxes and mailing them. Next the IRS will process your tax return and give you a tax refund if they think you are entitled to one. They will also contact you and the other person who filed and claimed your kids to determine who was eligible. You can also contact them as soon as possible and let them know someone claimed your kids on their taxes. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply

I filed my taxes with someone other than Turbo Tax before the end of January 2014. It is March and I just found out that my return was rejected due to not having a Filing Pin number on my return. So I refiled with Turbo Tax on 3/10/14. It is now 3/13 14 and I still have not received the confirmation number that Turbo Tax promised me. I do however have the Filing Pin number. This has been a nightmare!!! I have never had so much trouble filing my tax return or receiving my refund. Needless to say, I am currently NOT a happy camper. I hope to hear from Turbo Tax that my income tax return has now been accepted and I will receive my refund shortly. Reply
Janet, our taxes were prepared by an accountant. The accountant placed XXXXXXXX on both spaces where the routing and account number were to go. Can I write in our account numbers on the paper that’s being returned back to the IRS. The prepared papers are nicely printed. Didn’t know if that would be acceptable. Reply

This happened to me, I called the IRS and they told me to file like normal, I had to mail it in though, I could not file electronically.

File yours adding you & your child one of you will get a notice that social was used twice one of you will get a letter to show proof who child lives with as long as you can show you are living on your own & child with you You have the right to claim & most likely he will be audit .

I filed my tax return on 2/8 and I got an email this morning that my state return was rejected, I had help from my dad because my tax return this year was confusing he said it was a problem with turbo tax and that I needed to refile it on 2/13. I was wondering if I would get money for federal return before my state return or if it all came in at once? and if I had re-put my w2s in if it would mess up my taxes, I had rechecked it this morning after I got the email saying state was rejected so I went back in to fix whatever I could find was wrong and I noticed that all my federal information had disappeared from my account.

i filed with efile 3 times and they keep being rejected over a pin number i put in the agi number still wrong ok so now i want the irs to fix it how long will that take i am so angry this turbo tax was suppose to been the easy way Reply
If u filed last year you should have a PIN number. If you can’t find your PIN number u can call this number and they can give it to u:1-866-704-7388. This number is basically like an electronic signature, it’s a safety feature to secure your identity. If u did not file a return for last year you will not have a PIN number! You have to put a zero in, and they will issue you a pin for the following year. You will recieve your PIN number via mail/e mail. Always ask questions or be sure when filing taxes yourself otherwise your return will be delayed due to errors. And I’m sure after you’ve made errors they probably flag it so then they have to thurally review it :-/ hope this helps!
Gives you the link below asking to request ur pin from previous tax return if u click on link will ask for ur full info ssn and full home address. Once u have submitted the request gives you 5 digit pin. Its also good to pay for the Odit upgrade for that and tells you exactly what is being inputed incorrectly. Its not that bad if you use walk through/ step by step.

Click Continue to file and we’ll help you with the filing process or visit the Review section for more details.” Does anyone know what this could mean?

I am confused, I typed an EIN incorrectly and my file was rejected at the federal and state level. I fixed it through turbo tax. It said because of the error I would need to mail in the return, but then on the next screen, the system said my e-file went through and was pending approval from the government. So do I need to mail the returns in or not? Reply
IND-689-01 – The year of the ‘PrimarySignatureDt’ in the Return Header must be equal to the processing year whats this mean? Reply
I had this happen too. It means you typed in the wrong year when you provided your e-signature (the section where you type in a PIN and your AGI from last year). I put 2013 instead of 2014 by mistake. All you need to do is go back and change the date to whatever the date is that you file and be sure to put 2014 as the year. Reply
i filled thru turbo tax, my husband and i got married at the begining of last year and he hasnt filed taxes in over 6 years, we tried to do the e filing but it rejected us.

Can i remove my filling from turbo tax and go somewhere else even though i already paid. Reply
If he hasn’t filed in 6 years, you won’t be able to file online for him. You will need to submit each of the years hard copy including this year. Once they have been processed, you should be able to file online the following year. Reply

Hi I filed with turbo tax on 01/11 and was sent a message and email on 01/24 that it was accepted. i also checked on the irs.gov site and it was showing in process. When will i receive a refund. Everyone that filed after me that i reccommended turbo tax have a date for direct deposit. I do not have one. Reply
Hi Shonette, Please see our new post on IRS refund processing times. Not everyone’s tax situation is the same so processing times may be different according to your tax situation https://blog-turbotax-intuit-com-develop.go-vip.co/2014/01/31/wheres-my-tax-refund/ Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Hi lisa. I understand everyone is different but at the sametime I had no problem over the years filing early but of course I didn’t use turbo tax none of those times either. I don’t understand y this year would be different except the fact that I used turbo.
Lisa, I filed my taxes early in Jan because TT said they were ready. Now my taxes were flagged for early submittal and has to be reviewed for identify theft. You should warn customers not to file early! This is extremely misleading first in first out. The IRS said do not file early again!! TT just wanted to lock in my business. Now I have to wait another 6-8 weeks! Thanks a lot!!!
My tax return has been in the pending status far longer than it should. My state was rejected because it said my federal was rejected, however I’ve not hearid any reply from my federal return. Reply
My return was accepted by the irs on January 31st and then today Feb 2 i go to check my return and it now says it’s locked will that delay my return Reply
U cant change did u owe money before childsupport,garnishments,are did u owe the irs, u will not be able to change it until irs audit it lastly it does that if something fraudulent on your taxes Reply

Hi, I’m sorry you are having problems. Your social security number used on your tax return has to match what is on file with the social security administration, which is what the IRS uses. If your name and social security number don’t match those records it will be rejected. Here are steps you can take to file your rejected tax return https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901497-tax-returns-that-can-t-be-e-filed Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Lisa, the system rejected my return stating my pin is incorrect, but it is the pin I received from the IRS auto number
yes you can I have mines deposited to my moms one year my bro’s another and the last couple of years to my girls and we aren’t married and me and my mom don’t have the same last name nor does my brother. You can do it to bank account just not those pre-paid debit cards those have to be in your name to get your tax return other than that any actual bank account can be used
I forgot to put a dash and a number for my refund to go into my checkings account. I contacted my bank and asked if my money will still deposited and they said it wont go into my checkings it would go into my savings account. But I marked checkings account on my taxes. Will it be rejected? Or will my refund still go through to my savings account even though I put checkings.. my account number and routing number were correct, just missed a number for the checkings so it goes to my savings….

My state got approved right away but the federal haven’t been accepted. I filed on Jan 31 is there a problem or is the IRS just behind? Reply

Hi, You will not be able to resubmit your return unless it is rejected by the IRS. If you try and resubmit before rejection or acceptance it will come up as someone filing a duplicate tax return with the same social security number. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis

The blog you keep referencing does not answer the question on why a return would still not have been accepted after 48 hours of being submitted. Does the delay indicate an issue or just a backlog of processing?

I efiled on Jan 18, and according to an email I did not see until today, my return was rejected on the 19th of Jan because of my sons year of birth being wrong. I panicked for a while, but composed myself and corrected then resubmitted my return. As of now I still do not have confirmation of my return being accepted and I’m worried my mistake will delay my return or cause me to be audited. So I would like to know how the irs handles a return that is rejected, corrected and then resubmitted, and if my corrected return was re-e-filed around noon today (1-31-14) when will my return be submitted, and finally accepted by the irs. The original submission, my family members who have efiled with turbo tax all received an irs acception (or in my case rejection) within minutes. Is my return being rejected and now resubmitted the reason I still have not been accepted/rejected by the irs? Reply
It does not affect it at all. Initially the irs just matches the social security number with what social security has on file. They make sure the name and birthday matches. If it does not you simply resubmit it and it gets processed as if it was never rejected. You will hear back either today orthis weekend for sure. Nothing to worry about. I have a ton of experience with this Reply
This shouldn’t have any affect on your taxes, I have done this plenty of times on my taxes and family members taxes as well. I did my today and I haven’t received a approved or rejected status as of yet. Reply
Laura have you received an approved or rejected status yet? I e-filed on January 31st at 11:45PM and mine is still pending…..
I e-filed my return w turbo tax on 1-19-2014, and since I had been told that IRS would not open for returns until 1-31-2014, I did not check my status or watch for emails or updates. This morning 1-31-2014, I went to turbotax online site and found out that my return was rejected on the day I e-filed. After panicking for a while, I found the error (sons year of birth was incorrect) I resubmitted it. Will I be processed as if today’s submission is new, or will I have to wait longer because I was rejected earlier? Basically I would like to know if being rejected and refilling a corrected return will cause delays in being re-accepted and will my rejection cause me to have to go through an audit or some other process to get my return? Reply
Not at all I was rejected on the 27th I resubmitted mines shortly thereafter. I was accepted on the 29th. Seems like things are moving pretty smooth this year. Reply
My husband and I were very pleased with Turbo Tax. Not only was the software easy to use; we had a an issue and needed to call customer service. We called and spoke to a representative named Anto. He made very detailed notes about our situation and gave us a case number. He not only fixed our issue; he went above and beyond what we asked for. He ended up transferring me to a representative named Shabora. Although I was on hold for a long time, it was well worth it. My issue was resolved and an additional credit was posted to my account as well, which I wanted, but didn’t expect that it would be so easy. Most companies argue with customers about fees, charges, etc… Turbo Tax is awesome in every aspect. They definitely have us for a customer for life! I also have a very large family; some of which I do their taxes for; so Turbo Tax will be receiving a lot more new customers than they realize; just for going above and beyond for a customer! Awesome company!! Reply
Do you have the number to customer service, I am also having issues and need to speak with someone. Thanks Reply

The IRS didn’t start processing returns until today so no one will have gotten their refunds yet. Reply
Refunds aren’t going to start being issued until around 2/12/14 today was just the first day they started accepting returns. You can go to its.gov and they have a refund chart that shows when you can expect your moolah 🙂 Reply

Accepted does not mean processed. Your return is processed when WMr says refund approved not accepted Reply
My bank routing and account numbers are correct on my return; but, I mistakenly marked the checking box instead of the savings box. Since I only have a savings account at the bank but the routing and account numbers are correct, will my refund still be deposited? Reply
It depends on whether your bank accepts the deposit or not. Most banks will accept deposits directed to your account if the name, address, and other account info matches. Reply
I am trying to file using the SnapTax app this morning, and there is still a message saying “There is an IRS nationwide delay for all returns, no matter who prepares them.

Hi, I have not heard about anyone having a problem. The IRS began processing tax returns at 6:00 AM and we have been accepting tax returns since January 2. Can you please log in and try again. Let us know if you see this again. Hopefully you’ll be able to file within 10 minutes. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
I’m having the same problem! I’m so pissed because I spent the time to do it on the app, and now it won’t let me file…can you please fix?
I don’t want to be a “wet blanket”,.. but why use Turbo Tax when AARP has free filing sites and the IRS has their “File Free” site too. On the other hand….. sit tight and don’t rush into the maze. YOUR money isn’t going anywhere Reply
Here is some information that may help some of you understand the IRS process. Let me start by saying this: First of all, everyones tax situation is different. Just because you submitted your forms on Jan 20 and Jane Doe did too, doesnt mean you will both be accepted. Second, there is s process that happens when you hit the “submit” button. it has to be received, accepted/rejected, processed and then the refund can be issued (which is a whole other process) Third, If you have mortgage interest, student loan interest, EIC, and other deductions or credits, the forms for submitting those or the guidelines for getting those credits may not be updated yet. Example: Last year the IRS forms for mortgage interest were not going to be available and updated until March 15th (if I remember correctly) because of some changes that were being made at the federal level. Therefore, people who were claiming mortgage interest had to wait to file or not receive that credit (trust me when I say that is a credit you want to wait for). Fourth, There is a difference between proccessing your return and accepting your return. if you are getting an “accepted” message that just means that it has been recieved by the IRS. “Processing” means they are actually doing something with it. My recommendation to those of you that are doing your own taxes is to go to the IRS.gov website and educate yourselves. This could get you even more money in your return. PS. There are special rules for a child turning age 17 on or before December 31st of that filing year can still be claimed as a dependent. Students attending a post secondary accredited educational facility can be claimed as a dependent or they can claim themselves, if you claim that child as a dependent and they also need to file a tax return they cannot claim themselves or any tuition credit. Reply
Hi, Thank you for your comment. There’s no need for people to read through IRS publications, that’s what TurboTax is here for. We are up to date with all of the latest tax laws and we give taxpayers the tax deductions and credits they’re eligible for when they answer simple questions about themselves. Regarding people not being able to claim mortgage interest, that was last tax season and doesn’t have to do with this tax season. Last tax season was delayed due to Congress voting on the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which is not the case this tax season. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Hi, I have problem with fixing the Federal tax returns this year as I had ITIN for my spouse for 2012 and using SSN this year. Filed with prior PIN and wrong DOB of my spouse. —- Rejected with status codes IND-032-01 – ‘SpousePriorYearPIN’ or ‘SpouseElectronicFilingPIN’ or ‘SpousePriorYearAGIAmt’ in the Return Header must match the e-File database. F1040-526-01 – If ‘PINTypeCd’ in the Return Header has the value “Self-Select On-Line” and Form 1040, Line 2 checkbox “Married filing jointly” is checked (element ‘IndividualReturnFilingStatusCd’ has the value 2), and ‘SpecialProcessingLiteralCd’ does not have a value and ‘SpecialProcessingLiteralCd2’ does not have a value and ‘SpecialProcessingCodeTxt’ does not have a value and ‘SpouseDateOfDeath’ does not have a value, then ‘SpouseBirthDt’ in the Return Header must match the e-File database Re-entered the Correct DOB with the 2012 electronic PIN . —-> Rejected But only with this error code IND-032-01 – ‘SpousePriorYearPIN’ or ‘SpouseElectronicFilingPIN’ or ‘SpousePriorYearAGIAmt’ in the Return Header must match the e-File database After rejection , I selected the alternate option of using 2012 AGI. — Expected result Waiting for Acceptance or Rejection. After searching the blog and the correct procedure is to : If you have never filed before, or if you filed last year using an ITIN and you have a Social Security Number this year, select I am a first-time filer or I did NOT file a 2012 tax return on the prior year information screen. My Suggestion is Turbo Tax did not detect the wrong DOB entered for Federal and State tax returns. since I used the ITIN for 2012 and SSN for 2013 , it didn’t matched the SSN and ITIN properly and could not guide the users properly . Hope this is useful for other users who are using ITIN for 2012 returns and ssn this year. Reply

Did anyone get an APPROVED status on “wheres my refund” last year before the irs offically opened and started proccesing/accepting returns? Reply
Im sure accepted means no flag errors to reject, if irs show not approve yet will start morn of 31st. Reply
Bev, The way I understand and have experienced the process, is that once you send in your taxes, it will say pending; then when the IRS looks at it to make sure all is ok; such as you don’t owe them money, the return is accurate, etc…, then it will show accepted; then as they are working on it, it will say processing; then when it’s done, it will say either completed or processed. You can set it up so that you get emails and/or text messages when each step happens. You do that through Turbo Tax. It asks you towards the end. I hope this helps. Good luck! Reply

ND-689-01 – The year of the ‘PrimarySignatureDt’ in the Return Header must be equal to the processing year. Any clue what this means? got rejected Reply
I had this happen too. It means you typed in the wrong year when you provided your e-signature (the section where you type in a PIN and your AGI from last year). I put 2013 instead of 2014 by mistake. All you need to do is go back and change the date to whatever the date is that you file and be sure to put 2014 as the year. Reply

I do not use Turbo Tax. I use Tax Act. I did my taxes via Tax Act on 1/28/2014..I received a acceptance from the IRS the same day. So IRS is accepting returns at this point.. Whoever at Turbo Tax saying they are not do not know what there talking about, that is why I do not use them.. Reply
Hi, We published this post the day IRS announced their opening day and can only announce the day they use. Please see our FAQ for reasons that some tax returns may be processed earlier than 1/31 https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901514-important-dates-and-deadlines-for-2013-federal-tax-returns http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/2014-Tax-Season-to-Open-Jan.-31;-efile-and-Free-File-Can-Speed-Refunds Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply

Hi, Please see our new post regarding IRS processing https://blog-turbotax-intuit-com-develop.go-vip.co/2014/01/31/wheres-my-tax-refund/ Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis
I have a question, I filed my taxes like I do every year but this year it said I had to print my taxes and send them even though I e-filed, what does that mean? does that mean they won’t process my efile? it didn’t give me any special forms, just said I had to send my return in also?
Getting an acceptance letter is not the same as having your return processed. Processing starts 01/31/2014. Everyone can prepare their taxes earlier than 01/31/2014. Its the processing that matters.
Actually Turbo Tax is telling the truth. If you call the IRS the automated machine lets you know bythe 31st of January they will be accepting returns. Reply
LOL, what a dummy….Turbo Tax is saying that because IRS is not back to work until 1/31/14 due to a partial shutdown of the Goverment. Get your facts straight. Reply
lets clear up some…1accept is not approved accept-means no red flag text or spelling ssan and so, then processed then approved then sent. Reply
greeneyezzz, I respectfully disagree with you. I have had nothing but great experiences with Turbo Tax. They have gone above and beyond my expectations with their customer service. My daughter used TaxAct last year and wasn’t happy with them. She’s using Turbo Tax this year. I guess everyone has their own opinions and experiences. That’s why competition is good and we are as consumers that we have more than one choice to make. I’m glad TaxAct works for you. Everyone has a right to their own opinion. That’s why we live in the USA! Good luck and take care. Cindy Reply
Yeah they are accepting early but they are not processing until today…. Submitting early is a bad idea, you may have to wait longer then normal it happened last year with people that filed early before they opened. Reply
Hi Nikki, Rejections can occur due to incorrect social security numbers, names used do not match IRS records, duplicate social security numbers used to name a few. You should receive a rejection code that explains why your tax return is rejected. Here is a list of rejection codes http://www.irs.gov/uac/Common-Error-Reject-Codes-%28ERCs%29-for-Individual-Tax-Returns-&-Suggested-Solutions Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Why did I have to pay a $29.99 ‘bank fee’ to have my Free tax return deposited into My bank account???? This is false advertising. Reply
because you chose to have your state direct deposited most likely if not it’s because the free version only allows you to file standard tax forms which are a 1040 or 1040a all extra forms you gotta pay for Reply
I filed with TurboTax on January 6th and was accepted on January 24th. I’m currently awaiting a refund date. Reply
start the reg e-file the 31st… yes a bata was ran to check the sys and some may have their refund-ps check e-mail in morn. Reply
The IRS didn’t start processing returns until today so no one will have gotten their refunds yet. Reply
I am alittle confused. The site says the irs will not start processing returns until January 31 but I got an email yesterday saying mine was denied. Reply
Got a email said my taxes were rejected went back on line they took me through but how do know if its right Reply
They will reject them again if not! You can call or text them to see if all is in line with your return! Had the same problem and I was emailed that IRS excepted mine! Reply
How do I amend 2012 return if I used turbo tax last year? One of my children’s social security numbers were 1 number off? Reply

Because it’s a test Run by the IRS they have to know there systems will be able to handle the influx of tax return once they fully open on Friday Reply
Just got email that mine return was rejected. So I fixed it but now I will be back on line as it shows my submission date 01/28/14 before I submitted on 01/15/14, does this mean that my refund will be delayed?? Reply
The IRS didn’t start processing returns until today, Jan 31st, so no one will have gotten their refunds yet. Reply
It says you have to wait o get accepted. What happens if you get denied? Can you file your taxes again? Or make changed to it if u have to Reply
Hi Triana, If your tax return is rejected, you can fix it and resend it. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply

Hi Lashavia, The IRS will begin processing tax returns on 1/31. Once the IRS processes your tax return they will update your status to refund approved in their “Where’s My Refund” tool http://www.irs.gov/Refunds/Where%27s-My-Refund-It%27s-Quick,-Easy,-and-Secure. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply

I have been filing with Turbo Tax for about 5-6 years now. I recommend them highly. I prepare my taxes, my children’s taxes and my mom’s taxes. One year I used a competitor and was quite dissatisfied. Thanks Turbo Tax, you’re worth every penny! Reply
I filed with TurboTax on Jan. 25th. This is my first year that I’ve filed with Turbo. I pray that I am not disappointed. I normally allow H&R Block, but the fees are ridiculous. Reply
Those that will be first in line for their Tax Money are those that don’t pay taxes and we know who they are. The same ones with the Food Coupons, Welfare Checks and Obama phones. Reply
I used to use TurboTax every year until this year. Seems they have an issue with auto upgrading your account to the basic and chage you at the end. Talk to customer rep, and she gave me a code to reduce the charges, but could not tell me why I was being charged in the first place. After a quick internet search This problem has not only effected me but ALOT of people complaining about auto upgrading this year. Completed taxes with TaxAct this year, no problems and only paid 14.99 for submission of state. Oh and my refund was like 4 dollars more, not a big deal but I will take it. Reply
Hi, Individuals with relatively simple tax returns are able to file their federal tax returns for free and file their state tax returns for $14.99. In addition, to that TurboTax may give you an additional 5% on top of your refund if you’re able to use free or Basic, If you use Deluxe, Premier or Home and Business you may be able to get an extra 10%. We want to make sure you get every tax deduction and credit you’re eligible for so we put you in the product that is related to your tax situation. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Love, love, love Turbo Tax. I am 70 and found it easy to use. Just a note…if you file in Michigan and income is under $30,000…your state tax is also free! Need to come in under the Michigan.gov website in order to get it, but, hey, $15 bucks is $15 bucks! Thanks Turbo Tax…see ya next year!
I am very confused by your statement. Turbo tax gives you an additional 5% of what? Shouldn’t your taxes be the same amount back no matter what company you use as long as you put in the exact same information into each program? Turbo tax didn’t state anything about an extra 5% when I filed my taxes
Hi, TurboTax has an exclusive offer and is giving 5 – 10% on top of your tax refund. Please read more here https://blog-turbotax-intuit-com-develop.go-vip.co/2014/01/21/exclusively-with-turbotax-get-an-additional-bonus-on-your-federal-tax-refund/ Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis
TurboTaxLisa, I was a little disappointed about being told I would get an extra 5%. It makes it look to consumers that it’s an extra 5% of your refund; when it IS NOT. It is the opportunity for the customer to purchase Amazon gift cards in increments of $100.00; and the customer gets an extra 5% of what they purchase for a gift card. So if they purchase a $100.00 Amazon gift card, then they will get a gift card for $105.00 instead of $100.00. 100.00 x 5% = 105.00. I found this to be a very deceiving way to lure customers that way. That is the only negative thing I can say about Turbo Tax. To me, it’s like false advertising. Other than that; I love everything else about TurboTax. They go above and beyond when you have an issue. I dealt with Anto and Shabora in Customer Service. They were both totally awesome! I am referring and getting TurboTax many new customers this year because of my experience. My husband and I will be customers for life! Awesome company! Just please fix that one issue. Thx. 🙂 Cindy 🙂
I made a mistake and used the home and business software instes d of using the basic version for 29.95 would that get me audit or affect my return ? Or did I just take a 70$ lost
Hi Atika, You will not be audited for using Home and Business. In addition depending on what your tax situation was last year Home and Business may be the best product for you to maximize your tax deductions and credits. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis
This only works if you receive your W2’s early and have no itemized deductions. Yeah you can do an amended but who wants to file their taxes twice? I’d rather wait until I have everything and do it right the first time. By law companies have until 1/31 to send out their tax forms and most wait til the last minute. Reply
I filed my taxes early even though they were rejected but its good to know they are doing it early. I filed mine on 1/9/14 Reply
How long does it take for it if you choose the pre paid card?…I normally have it direct deposited, but just had an identity theft so closed my account 🙁 Reply
Ive filed using Turbo tax the last few years and its a great program !!! As for the IRS no complaints there either I filed last week and it said on Jan 31 it would be accepted by IRS . Just received an email stating that it had been received Look forward to future emails stating acceptance and check to be deposited a few days into Feb. Reply
I totally agree, I went to H&R Block every year for 6 years, then they stopped doing that “leave here with part of your refund” thing and paying almost $250 didn’t seem like a smart thing to do when I wasn’t getting part of my refund. So last year I used turbo tax, and my in-laws went to H&R Block, I got my refund 9 days earlier then they did, and I paid $200 less than they did. I will use turbo tax for the rest of my tax years Reply
You have to wait till the IRS opens on the 31st. Its like we are waiting in line for a store to open. We will be in the front of the line when it does. Reply
I have filed with TurboTax for the last 5 years and never had a problem. I always receive my return within 5 days of receiving their ‘accepted’ email. Direct deposit is the quickest, easiest way to go! Reply
last year for my was the same, I sent my refund on Jan 22 and if I don’t recall wrong I got paid on Feb the 5th very fast, that’s why I being using turbo tax for the last 9 years Reply
Last year I was accepted on January 15 and got my refund 2-26 thanks to turbotax 🙁 my return was with thousands of other returns that Tt sent through too early then their system retired out and so I was reaccepted 2-20 hate Tt all the people who filed after me had their returns for weeks before I was accepted. I finally had to get a tax advocate. Hoping for a better year if not it’s back to tax act. Reply
they said its physically impossible to accept them. the machines dont even open until midnight of the thirtieth. Are you sure/ Reply
Yes I did mine on 24 and got accepted on 27th. But keep in mind that they only selected a certain amount for a test run. We still have to wait until 31 for processing like everybody else. Some of us will probably recieve ours a little earlier that’s all.
I’m happy to report mine was accepted earlier today 1/26/14. Hoping to see an updated status on where’s my refund soon! Yea for the IRS! Reply
i just finished doing my taxes on turbo tax about 15 minutes ago and already received a text saying the state accepted my return. Reply
The IRS wasn’t accepting returns last year until Jan. 30th, but I submitted mines early last year and got minds back on the Feb 1. This year I submitted my returns early and now TurboTax will not send them in until Jan. 31st.. That sucks! Won’t used them next year! Reply
Hi Kamesha, We can’t send your tax return until the IRS opens for e-file, which was the same as last year. Please see our FAQ regarding why a few may see their tax returns accepted by the IRS before their official e-file open date. https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901514-important-dates-and-deadlines-for-2013-federal-tax-returns Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Reply
Turbo Tax Lisa, unfortunately there are a lot of other Turbo Tax users on this site that have already had their returns accepted this year making your statement false.
Hi Etta, We have to go by the IRS official open date, which is 1/31 per their e-file date announcement here http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/2014-Tax-Season-to-Open-Jan.-31;-efile-and-Free-File-Can-Speed-Refunds https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901514-important-dates-and-deadlines-for-2013-federal-tax-returns Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis
It is being reported that the IRS began accepting returns on 1/24. I know the official date is 1/31 but they are processing returns now. Does Turbotax have some agreement with the IRS not to submit them now?
If I filed on January 9, 2014 but just got a rejection on jan 28 to fix an error will my return be submitted on that day again or will I be thrown to the back of the line?
IRS will not start process untill 1/31/2014 can accept sooner. but its good to get a heavy load on the 31st. can get IRS working hard to keep up and do a better job on refunds Reply
Just know that if you have children you can only claim them until the age of 17. Then they become a different dependent category. I didn’t know this until last year. I thought they were EIC qualified until 18. WRONG!!!! Reply
You are talking about child tax credit, which is true but you can claim eic until that child turns 25 and they are still enrolled in school. I have a 18 and 19 yr old. Reply
I have been useing Turbotax for several years now and I am very happy with y’all. Keep up the good work. Reply
I got my email today 1/24/2014 saying I was accepted by the irs just like last year a week early I’m sure others got there emails today too I can’t wait Reply
Mine said it was accepted today(1/24), but the IRS was still not processing until 1/31. Honestly I’d be surprised if I saw a deposit before the 2nd-3rd week in Feb. Reply
I just got a text saying my efile was accepted from the IRS…so I think they are doing it earlier than the 31st this year! Reply
I have always used Turbo Tax and as always, it’s the best. Never had any problems, I e-filed on January 22, 2014. I received an e-mail stating that I could e-file on January 22, 2014. I was surprised that I received the e-mail because I thought no one could start filing before the 31st of 2014? Surprised me, but I did file it, it says pending! Reply
The reason they charge people is because it is a business, They are offering a service that is updated yearly and that requires people and time. That and for the people that are in such a rush to get their refunds. WOW take a chill and relax its on its way mine said that it would take up to 21 days for completion after the 31st. Every year is different.. Stop posting the same questions over and over again. Reply
this is my first year filing taxes. i used turbo tax also but not sure if i done it right it says i couldnt go any farther till i paid twevle dollars. Reply
You can use your last pay stub to file but it doesn’t have all the info you need like retirement contributions and codes and the employer ID number that you will need. But you can get a pretty accurate estimate of your refund though
I had a problem with IRS last year. THEY STILL HAVENT GAVE ME MY FEDERAL REFUND! I keep getting excuse after excuse. Reply
Last year I filed early and they told me that the IRS wouldn’t accept it til a certain date. It was accepted early and i had my return by the 10th of Feb. I am hoping this year will be the same. Reply
Be patient , they update everyday they usually give out dates on tuesdays and tursdays for release days Reply
I work with someone who went to a less popular site on Jan. 12th and he was able to submit his return and it was filed with the IRS at that time..Turbo Tax says mine is still pending and cannot be transmitted to the IRS until Jan. 31st. Reply
I submitted my return last year early and the IRS accepted and processed it about a week before opening day. I got my refund within a few days. Reply
I have used Turbo tax for the last seven years and I think it is great and easy and user friendly. I have never had a problem!! I recommend it to everyone I know!! Reply
I filed our taxes around the 15th of January of last year and had our taxes back the February 1. I was happy. Reply
I got the accepted email and my refund in the same day February 1 and Yes I used turbo tax. I have used Turbo tax for 3 years now. I really like turbo tax.
Has anyone received a notice that this year taxes has been accepted and processed. I filed mine on the 17th and it says its pending. I know the IRS doesn’t open up until the 31st but last year mine was accepted early even though they wasn’t processing anything until the end of January. I had my return by February 1st. Reply
Amy i also filed around the 15th and received my taxes back on Feb 2. i have been filing that way for about hree years and i always get mine back around same time. Reply
That’s because TurboTax submitted them in before IRS accepted date. Which was Jan. 30th last year. Tou won’t get them back this year that early. Reply
Is TurboTax going to have a place to submit the Pin # the IRS sent me to use on this year’s return so I don’t get caught up in the identity theft investigation again? Reply
I for one will never file early again. Last year early filers are the ones that the irs pulled for a closer look. As a result I got caught up in the identity theft investigation then the irs deleted my e-filed return. I had to paper file and get a tax advocate. I got my return in November 11 months later Reply
Has anyone filed early last year with turbotax? If so did they receive that email that said it was accepted early? I guess what I’m trying to say is, is there an advantage to filing early with turbotax because last year I did a different software. Reply
The IRS will NOT accept any tax returns before January 31, 2014, so filing early just means you will be ahead of the pack. Reply
I filed on the 16 of this month and it was accepted on the 23 rd they said my refund on the way. I did it with turbo tax and get direct deposit.
I filed early last year and it did me no good at all. People that filed after me were getting their refunds before me by about a week. Tax Slayer seems to be the quickest one out there. I only use Turbo Tax because i have for so many years its just convenient. I should switch.
We did. We got ours back a week earlier than projected. Turbo Tax is great and our last two years as well, both times we had our return by the second week in Feb!! Good Luck!! Reply
That’s always how it works, They say it won’t be processed until a certain date but usually gets accepted a week earlier. Hope the luck continues this year
well i had mine filed by jan. 10th last year and it was accepted jan 28th and my deposit was made to my checking acct on feb 1st so i was very happy Reply
Yep. I got my refund fast. Last year was my first time filing my own taxes and recieved my refund before the one that went to a tax preparer. I was please and yes I did recieve notifications about my refund…. I will forver file my own taxes, no more giving a tax preparer FREE money of mines!!! THANKS TURBO! Reply
Last year I flied early, 1/15/2013. The IRS was due to start accepting returns last year on the 30th but did accept some early. I was one of the ones they accepted early and got my refund on 2/2/13. I spoke with Turbo Tax earlier this week and was told the IRS will do some test batches and will be accepting a small amount of returns early this year. This will start on 1/24/14. Again, it will only be a small amount. Reply
I have filed with turbo tax for the past 9 years. When I say the money is in the bank ,it be in there before or when they say it’s going to be in there. I love turbo tax!! Reply
I filed early last year and I think it is wise to get ahead of the waiting list… Last year I had my refund in my bank on feb 2nd, I was a very happy camper! I love turbo tax, I have been using them for the last 4 years and never once had a problem! I highly recommend! Reply
Last year, IRS was supposed to start processing returns on January 30th. I filed mine using TurboTax on January 16th, the same day I got my 1099-R. TurboTax submitted it that day and I was told not to expect an acceptance response until the 30th. I got the acceptance email on the 24th and I had my return direct deposited on February 6th. Had I gotten my 1099-R on the 15th, I’d have gotten my return on February 1st like Amy did. Reply
i filed mine on jan 12, 2013 (last year) and got a accepted email on jan 25th and money in the bank on feb 1st. turbo tax is the best! Reply
I filed on January 17th last year, and the refund was in my account on February 1st. This year, I filed on the 14th, and haven’t received any news as of yet. BUT my fiancé filed on the 7th, and he just got confirmation that the IRS has accepted his return for processing (a full week before their published date of the 31st), It is possible his refund won’t be authorized until the 31st, tho’. I’ll let you know. 🙂 Reply
Actually yes our return was efiled early with turbo tax and was accepted as a test return for the new system changes they had last year. Was crossing my fingers for the same this yr but no such luck. We got our return back last year direct deposit about the time they started taking all returns.. That was so nice. Reply
ive used turbo tax for the past few years great experience this year im glad to use them again ive done mine early only cause im planning a wedding and have a list to do and filing taxes as one of them I can mark off!!!!!! thank you turbo tax for being convienient!!! 😉 Reply
IRS will accept your tax return without a form w-2 on February 15, 2014. You will have to explain your efforts to obtain the w-2 and why you were unsuccessful. Reply
Honestly stop giving tax advice I’ve filed my last 3 years tax returns with my last pay stub its simple. And they do accept them and process earlier than projected date Please DO NOT listen to southern bell
Legally, yes. But if you know your tax situation and can figure out what your w-2 will say by using your last pay stub and have worked at the job previous years to know all their tax numbers, then you shouldn’t have a problem.
Yep me too… I am thinking because I owe the state this year for the very time. I think because I made too much money for 2013! Reply
Nobody can answer that u need to find out why…..u should have did that earlier….anyone can file state unless they owe someone,childsupport, garnishments
That is incorrect it is a program problem I have used Turbo Tax for years and never had a problem until now
if you have your w2 info and put it all in there for federal it should have all your state info already in there for the state taxes Reply
I hope that turbo tax let me know when I will expect to receive my return and if they can use the turbo tax debit car to receive my return in cash. Reply
I Have Used Turbo Tax The Last Few Yrs. When I Done them This Yr it Says $0 Pending I Saw That A Few Othr People Have The Same Thing.. Is This Ok Will It Say the Amt When Its Accepted?? Reply
Unfortunately it is the identity thieves who are doing a lot of the early filing these days since the IRS has a habit of sending refunds without checking the return against the tax data they have on the individual or even the address specified for the refund to be sent to. Last year my wife got a note from the IRS acknowledging her filing even though we have filed jointly for decades and the address was in the deep South. Of course, once someone else files with your SS number, the IRS will delay sending your refund even if you stopped them from sending a refund check to the crook. Reply
It wont matter if you file on Jan 2 or Jan 31, you will get your refund approx 8 days after Jan 31. Reply
on a norm, there is a tax refund cycle chart that shows when a return is accepted by the IRS and when a refund is “expected” to be deposited. If you ever get a notice that says it will be deposited on a TUESDAY… be prepared as it will not be there. In stead you will have questions to answer before the funds are released. Reply
Not true. I filed last year on the 11th, processed on the 23rd as a part of their early testing. It was processed the 30th and in my account on the 31st.
That is not a fact. Last year the IRS started processing returns on the 30th of Janurary and I received mine on 2/2. The new system allkows returns to be processed 24-48 hours after acceptance. Reply
did you not read this? NOTHING is even sent to the irs before the 31st of jan, so why would it be accepted on the second of jan? Reply
i think when it says turbo tax will start accepting returns, it means they will let you do your taxes but as stated nothing will be sent to the irs until the 31th, it doesnt matter when you do them, none will be sent to the irs until then so they cannot be accepted until at least then.
Kimberly,,,The IRS has accepted some returns. They began accepting some returns filed electronically on the date that they started accepting the IRS FREE FILE..Check the IRS.GOV website for that date. I filed last year AND this year on Jan 20..ALL EFILES ARE SUBMITTED TO THE IRS WHEN YOU HIT ENTER…THEY JUST DO NOT ACCEPT THEM TILL LATER. Therefore many people will have their refunds by direct deposit on Jan 31 IF they were accepted earlier.Last year I filed on Jan 20, and my refund was in my bank account on Feb 2! YES IT DOES HAPPEN..and I have my fingers crossed for ALL of us!!Just to be clear, once you file pay and push submit..IRS has your return in their limbo..NOT Turbo tax, or any other preparer…Its all about when the return gets accepted. NO refunds will go into accounts, though tillON/ after Jan 31..hope this helps!!
accept and approved, not the same. must be processed then approved then to your bank.accepted means only Irs has it and did not reject for you basic info. SSAN, EMP tax id , anything that was not right, a Jr. left off a name any error in text. Reply

Janet, you can always amend a return to make corrections based on new financial information you receive after you file in order to possibly get a bigger refund. Reply
