  7. The purpose is not to put up false hope. It's to give people an idea of when they will receive their income tax refund. In the past, the schedule has always been very accurate.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Correct. It even says in the post that it is just a calculation based on prior year results. We strive to make the refund schedule as accurate as possible.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Michael, thank you. We try to do as best as we can to estimate someone's return date. She is correct. This is not an I.R.S. approved chart. We do however try our best to present accurate information to our clients and website viewers. We are keeping track of when returns are accepted and when the direct deposit or check go through. We will continue to update this based on the I.R.S. trends. The people that put this together are financial analysts so it's a lot more than guess work. I am sorry if in the past our schedules weren't entire accurate for Janique though. We strive to be as accurate as possible, but the truth is, many variables affect when you will receive your refund. This chart is designed to help with planning, but I hope that everyone understands that they should never rely on the U.S. government to do anything on time.

  10. Janique what makes you think it not right that been right the last few year it matches the ones on other sites. If yours is being delayed that not the site's fault the first date is the 5th, so are you not jumping the gun a little. Give them a break i think if nice to have a place to go to atleast get a idea of when it might, so up i know if it not there that deate it be there the next friday saturday unless there is a issue with the return.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Janique, why are you even viewing the chart if all you are doing is bashing it???

    ReplyDelete
  12. When it states that the IRS accepts your taxes by 11am, what time zone are they going by?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Probably E.S.T time zone. I'm just glad to have an idea when it's coming back instead of guessing all the time.

    ReplyDelete
  14. They were also behind last year. The first week or two of filing is always different, but we find that it usually falls into these days no matter the circumstances. This might explain why they started accepting returns on January 24th, 2014, so that they would be in line for a few week of February pay out date still.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Does this take into consideration that they are already behind??

    ReplyDelete
  16. Marie, you hit the nail on the head.

    Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I don't know if this chart is accurate or not, but the charts I've seen in the past have been close if not right on target - so fingers crossed! I can't wait to get my refund and I hope it's on the 5th of February!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. When the chart says "Accepts" your taxes does that mean they acknowledge they received it or approve it? Please clarify. Thank you!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Thank you Loire :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. It means approved. My taxes were received Jan 24th, but not approved until today. They receive it, then they accept/approve it. The acceptance date is what typically decides when your refund will be released.

    ReplyDelete
  21. This is based on past years. My taxes were just accepted and the irs stated my funds should be released within the next 21 days. It is usually closer to 12-17 days in the past for me which goes right along with this chart.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The dark background makes this very difficult for old women (me) to see.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The link above about the IRS accepting refunds early, has a statement that they will be accepting returns next week under "very strict rules" but I see nothing about what these strict rules are, anyone know?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I filed mine on Jan 29 it was accepted on Jan 30 and tonight it was approved and says my refund will be direct deposited Feb.6!!! I am from Alabama

    ReplyDelete
  25. Its feb 2 and no refund but got state back. Mine was accepted 1/34

    ReplyDelete
  26. I filed on the 27th....got accepted on the 29th....checked WMR today and it said refund will be deposited in my account on the 6th.

    ReplyDelete
  27. They Are On The ball was accepted on the 29th and Looking at 500 am CST and it Approved Direct Deposit on the 6th

    ReplyDelete
  28. Filed on Jan 28th, accepted on 29th with email from H&R block "Your federal return has received early acceptance during the e-file certification testing conducted by the IRS. This testing is conducted before official return processing begins on Jan. 31.This means that your return should be one of the first to be funded by the IRS once processing begins."

    Approved on Feb 2nd when I checked WMR at 2am with DD date of 2/6

    ReplyDelete
  29. California state e-filed on 1/28, accepted on 1/30 and approved on 1/31

    ReplyDelete
  30. Accepted 01/29, Approved 02/02, Expected Deposit 02/06

    ReplyDelete
  31. Filed
    1/26. Accepted by irs 1/29/14. Received notice on 2/1/14 that I would receive refund on or before 2/6/14...so the chart seems pretty accurate :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Mikahyalah, The best guess right now is that your's in queue for the next payout date, February 12th 2014.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I filed on the 29th goth accepted on the 30 and mines still says processing!!!! WTF WHY HAVENT MINES GOTTEN APPROVED? comments please.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Always go by the date approved not accepted.

    ReplyDelete
  35. If I got a email saying my return was accepted on Feb 2nd . Do I go by that date or will It say approved and I go by date approved. when shall I expect mine I efiled and am having it direct deposited.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Are those who have gotten accepted before Jan 31st and havent received a DDD also filing as a sole proprietor? I filed Jan 6th and got accepted Jan 29th and stil no DDD. Anyone else?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Not sure. Having the same issue. It sucks

    ReplyDelete
  38. I filed and it was accepted the 30th and still no direct deposits date yet. Hmm

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    I filed on the 28th and been Approved and will be getting my refund in the next few days.!!! It took them 4 days to approve mine. Then another 4 to 5 days to approve the refund amount.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Robin Davisson SpradlinFebruary 4, 2014 at 4:54 PM

    Mine was accepted on 27th and i still have no deposit date or approval.

    ReplyDelete
  43. You go by the date the IRS approved the refund. Mine was accepted on the 29th, but approved on the 2nd, so I barely squeezed in there.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Mine was accepted on January 29th. Still processing. Not approved nor is there any DD information.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Accepted on the 29th of January, still processing, no refund date. Looks like this schedule is not correct.

    ReplyDelete
  46. to make matters worse, my state taxes which were accepted 3 days after my IRS taxes, have already been processed and the refund has been mailed.

    ReplyDelete
  47. You're welcome Sandy. We appreciate everyone who visits the site and shares it with their friends. We are going to continue and try to make the site better for everyone and be as accurate as possible.

    Thank you for the kind words.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Uggh. Filed on 1/23. Accepted on 1/28. Still stuck on "received". MFJ return with dependents. What is the hold up?

    ReplyDelete
  49. They will most likely submit the deposits when the bank's open in California, but remember that most banks put a hold on large sums of money for a day to verify their source.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Mine was accepted on the 27th and I have a DDD of February 6.

    ReplyDelete
  51. You go by the approval date. I would say you would probably be in the 2nd batch of returns. So maybe the February 13 date for you to receive it.

    ReplyDelete
  52. What state are you in? I'm in Georgia experiencing the same thing.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'm in Illinois

    ReplyDelete
  54. IRS didn't even start processing returns until 1/31 so those that filed before that just went into a holding pattern. While the IRS is no longer releasing a refund schedule chart, I appreciate that this was put together based on prior years to at least have an idea of when we can expect refunds, even if just an estimate. Thank you to those that put this site together!

    ReplyDelete
  55. MY return was accepted on the 29th and still no direct deposit date

    ReplyDelete
  56. According to the Where's My Refund site of irs.gov, Mine was received on the 27th and now it reads approved and stated that I should get mine "by the 6th"

    ReplyDelete
  57. As anyone who was accepted on the 30th been approved and received a DDD yet? Mine still says it's processing and I can't figure out why it's taking so long. It didn't take nearly this long lay year. Actually I already had it by this time last year.

    ReplyDelete
  58. So is there a certain time the IRS will make deposits today?

    ReplyDelete
  59. Mines was accepted on the 30th and still reads processing!! I'm thinking we will be in the batch next week!! Mines didn't take this long last year either!! Smh

  60. Greshon Commander-JenningsFebruary 5, 2014 at 7:28 AM

    so did you receive it like they stated?

    ReplyDelete
  61. My refund was sent to my bank today buts not available to me and I have a DD for tomorrow

    ReplyDelete
  62. I just tried to check the IRS Wheres My Refund site and its down. I also called the refund hotline and the recording indicates there are technical difficulties and are not able to provide an update then the line disconnected. I hope its a glitch with IRS WMR site and not the processing end. Since everyone has a DDD date of 2/6 I will be checking my account tomorrow. *crossing fingers, legs and toes.*

    ReplyDelete
  63. I just checked the website and it isn't down. Are u sure?

    ReplyDelete
  64. Due to government shutdown, the IRS did not accept any returns until January 31st. That's "physically accepted" returns, not accepted/approved returns.

    ReplyDelete
  65. we got accepted on the 28th still havent been aproved this sux

    ReplyDelete
  66. I efiled on 17th. Simple return. Irs accepted on the 26th. Where's my refund says "still processing". GA resident

    ReplyDelete
  67. Filed mine return through H&R blocks website on 1/28. It was accepted by the IRS on 1/29 at 2:15 pm. On 2/1, the "where's my refund tool" showed that the refund was being processed. On 2/3 it showed that it would be "SENT' to my bank on 2/6. Now at first I thought this meant that I would receive it in my account on 2/6. But after checking it this morning I realized that the status bar is showing that the IRS has not SENT my return yet, and that it is due to be SENT to my bank on 2/6. SO at this point I am not expecting it to be in my bank account until 2/7. I do know that the IRS accepted some returns prior to the 1/31 date. But it was only for returns that WERE NOT claiming the EIC credits. I was told that if you claimed the EIC credit that your return MAY take longer to process, as those returns are looked at more closely to prevent fraud. I hope this helps.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Filed on the 31st. Got accepted on the 1st. Still hasnt been approved. Starting to wonder why.

    ReplyDelete

  78. Mine was accepted in approximately 4 hours. I can't wait for my refund! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  79. Melinda, I was under the same assumption as you. I do promise you however that I personally had 20+ clients have their refunds accepted before the 31st. The IRS doesn't always disclose things like this to the general public though.

    ReplyDelete
  80. thats not correct the irs never shut down cause tons of people got accepted ,and the irs website clearly states we have been accepting returns as early as jan 24th so you might need to check your facts

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  92. Federal was processed and approved, with a DD date of 2/6. I see some people have received their deposit today, or even yesterday. Anyone else with a DDD of 2/6 still not seeing the actual deposit in their bank?

    ReplyDelete
  93. Nothing new for me. I am not happy. It didnt take this long last year. UGH!!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Requested and viewed online 2013 transcript, and read my approved deposit date is actually 2/24, even though WMR app says DDD is supposed to be 2/6. Does anyone else's transcript DD date conflict with their WMR DD date?

    ReplyDelete
