tax refund question

Hopefully soon - one persons experience may be different than yours. There is no way to know when it will be done.

AFAIK - the right is answer is hopefully either day but realize it could be next week.

It can be loaded today being you filed so early, but the chances are slim!
It should be about 10 business days!
But, with the way the economy is it may be longer this year!

To check on status of federal refund go to »sa1.www4.irs.gov/irfof/lang/en/i···atus.jsp

site says processing return but jackson hewitt site said it was accepted already.

I submitted my taxes and they were accepted on the 17th; I was informed my "refund" would be processed by January 31st. It will likely be on Monday.

I'm sorry it says acknowledged.

Acknowledged: Return is filed, received, and approved by the IRS

What does that mean? Even if it was accepted as late as monday can I still get a refund this weekend or monday?

Refunds are delayed this year so far. Some who got accepted are getting their direct deposit in a MONTH! There is some new system and those after the 24th of jan are ok, but those before, well. Good luck. Mine was approved on jan 18th and im getting my direct deposit around the 31st. (Well, my date for DD changed from jan 25th to jan 27th to jan 31st to jan 25th back to jan 27th to feb 1st to jan 31st and the IRS told me today jan 31st but it may change. Turbotax told me i should have gotten my dd by now. What a clusterF*ck!

It's not good living on the edge like that, Mike.

You wanna be able to put that money in the bank w/ the other savings that you have and forget it's there.

I hope all works out well for you..:+)

Those Refund Anticipation Loan schemes got some peoples expectations about real regular electronic tax filing all out of the reasonable range of processing time. Electronic filing was created to save time in one area of the IRS by reducing the physical logistics of moving around tons of paper. Now they can spend more money and time scrutinizing each filing, not moving it from place to place. I tell those new to the real tax filing and refund system to give the process 98 days (14 weeks) to work. The first weekday workday after that, you can start worrying. I also tell them that those who file in January can get caught in the every year IRS tax filing period start up problems. Wait until after February 15th to file if you have a need for or want a probable shorter processing time, as the overall process times will have probably shortened somewhat by then. I have never seen a refund in less than 10 weeks in over 30 years of filings.

I hope I get it next week or I'm home and car less.

Is there any chance I will get it next week so I can make those payments?

There is a very small probability that the refund could be deposited before Saturday 4 February. If you have an absolutely accurate simple return, that increases the probability. 1040EZ files with the most basic income and most simple tax situation get through the quickest. 1040 files with many tax deductions, tax credits, multiple income sources, child support, alimony, rental income, stock transactions, and the rest take weeks.

My return was accepted on the 18th and am getting it next week. Soo.. Who knows. I am the first round according to the IRS. But most of the first round was delayed a week. Just call them up.
