Answer 1

HI I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I FLIED ON 2/8 AND IT WAS ACCEPTED BY THE IRS LIKE YOU I GOT THOSE SAME DATES AND THOSE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID MINE WAS BEING DEPOSITED TODAY I CALLED AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT DEPOSITED AND TO EXPECT A NOTICE ON 3/16 IF I DON'T HEAR FROM THEM AFTER 4 WEEKS HAVE COME UP EXPECT ANOTHER NOTICE OR MY CHECK I'M JUST SO TRIED RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I GOT BILLS I MOST PAY AND WAITING ON THE IRS IS STARTING TO GET ON MY LAST NERVES.

Answer 2

So sorry to hear that, it totally does not make sense either for them to give you a deposit date and then not do it, and then when you call, tell you that their computer shows they are deposting it that day.....and then NOTHING! How frustrating that the IRS employees cannot even figure it out to give you a correct answer. Normally a reference code like that means there is a delay processing your return, so I can't understand why you would see that message on the Where's My Refund page and yet the IRS is saying they don't see that message? Something is just not right---I don't know what to tell you. I efiled on 2/1 and actually got my deposit on 2/16 although mine did not get routed through HSCB. Hopefully they will clear this up and you will have your refund soon. Hang in there~

Answer 3

I can't help you with the computer errors from the IRS. I will say, this is one more reason NOT to give the IRS an interest free loan. I have arranged to OWE the IRS a small amount each of the last 2 years. The can't delay the check I send them. Even if they do, as long as its mailed on time, it doesn't matter when the get it.
