Anyone having problems getting refund?
Question:
Answer:
Liz, I am having the same problem. The IRS website showed that my refund would be direct deposited on 01/26, but it never showed up in my account. Now the website shows that there is a delay and gave me a reference # as well. I have called over 7 times and have gotten 7 different answers. I don't know what to believe. One rep told me that it is on hold. I have filed the same way with the same dependents for the past 3 years. I will give an update if I ever get to the bottom of this.
There may be something that the IRS is looking at regarding your return. If you had any changes from last year; dependents, filing status etc. Or, if you owed any money to a prior tax prep firm for "pre-file loans", or preparation fees, it can delay it. If you picked up or dropped dependents it can cause a "further look" without being called a "problem" yet.
good luck & blessings
i had the same issue and received the same answer. i was supposed to receive mine on 01/26 also. any reason why?
The IRS has a time in their computer system that is called the dead cycle, Your return can be processed but is not able to be posted to your account. The dead cycle is due to computer updates. This is a yearly event. Unfortunately this will delay your refund.
Congress extended some deductions that were expiring and the extension was approved after the IRS had finalized the forms for 2006. The IRS has stated that returns filed with any of these deductions will not be processed until 2/7/07 so they can make the necessary adjustments to their computer system.
These deductions include - the sales tax deduction, the tuition deduction, and the deduction for teachers. If you have taken any of these deductions on your return then your refund is delayed. If you did not take any of these deductions then there is probably some other computer glitch that is being worked out.
