IRS REFUND DELAYED DUE TO PROCESSING DELAYS?
My refund date was changed in the system from 2/3 to now 2/24. I filed for RAC through HR Block. HR Block told me yesterday that nothing in the system was worng and it appeared my funds would be dropped 1/30. I was the SECOND person in the nation to e-file ( Ifiled 8am 1/16) but now seem to be amongst thelast getting my refund. My refund amount is a few grand higher than last year, which is around 13grand, could this be a problem? What exactly are they doing when they are "processing"? To go from waiting 2 weeks to 5 weeks I feel is a bit abnormal. I feel i am about to be audited or something. Please help, give me something!

Okay, as far as the 13,000 refund amount, last year it was 8k. I have 2 dependents, full child care credit, and my federal withheld amount of around 8k matches the w2 my employer sent me. So there is no mistake on my behalf as far as that goes. What other resoans do we get a 2/24 date for? Anyone been audited this year? that's the only other thing i can think of. But why would HSBC and HR Block tell me I should have got my money yesterday? Sooo frustrating and I can't understand how they expect someone who expected their refund in 8-15 days to now wait a full MONTH. SO, do we ignore the 2/24 date on irs.goiv website and expect to get a refund the next friday? Or do we trust the website and go by that date?

I filed as well with H&R Block on 1/16. I was turned down for the RAL and converted to an RAC which meant that I should have gotten my check within 8-15 days. The irs did not even acknowledge receiving my refund until 1/22 which I thought was odd considering e-files are usually recognized within 1-3 days. The irs website gave me a refund date of 2/3 but when I rechecked it on 1/29 the date was changed to 2/24. When I called the h&r block rep she said my refund delay was due to the recovery rebate credit as the irs are doing them manually.
Why bother paying a tax preparer to do my taxes if the irs is going to redo it manually and hold my refund up, what a waste of money.
If the h&r block rep told me correctly and the delay is due to the rrc then why hold up my entire refund instead of just the rrc amount. None of it makes any sense to me, it stinks that we filed so early and will have to wait so long for our refunds. I wish I had some concrete answer to give to you, I can only share what my rep told me was my situation.
Unfortunately all we can do is sit and wait and hope that we get our refunds a lot sooner than expected.
In reference to some thing the guy above me said.....
The h&r block rep did say that the irs changed the way the preparers do the rrc 3 different times.

In response to your additional info:
To avoid any more disappointment I would expect a refund on 2/24. If it comes early it will be a nice surprise. :-)
Some times we have to find the good in the bad. Keep your fingers crossed and I will too.

If your refund is 13000, you need to redo your exemptions on your W-4s to get less taken from each paycheck. The IRS does take a very close look at returns that come in with huge refunds to make sure the people are paying the correct witholding and not creating false deductions.


Added: "my federal withheld amount of around 8k matches the w2 my employer sent me"

Then you definitely need to talk to your employer to get less taken from each paycheck. Then you have more money during the year.

If you want to know the date you will get it, you will have to call IRS. If they are still processing the return, they will only be able to estimate. And they will not be able to tell you exactly why it was delayed (mostly because the reps and supervisors that you talk to do not work in the processing dept).

How do you know you were the second person in the nation to e-file?Did the IRS tell you this?And even if you were,what does it matter?

Refunds of more than $10k are automatically de-queued from the automated processing system for further review by a human. The odds of further delays on a return claiming a refund of $13k are high unless the refund is due to an overpayment of estimated taxes that have been recorded on the IRS systems already.

I was accepted too and set for the 1/30 DD but the day before the IRS rescheduled me to 2/24 as well.

The abnormally high refund is probably the reason your return is being reviewed, especially if it has EIC which is known to be a high-fraud area. If every thing on your return is legit, you should be OK even though your refund will be a little later than you expected.

At 8 am on 1/16 I'd be very surprised if you were the second person in the nation to file. But that really doesn't matter. And if your refund comes on 2/24 you'll hardly be one of the last to get your refund.

Separate question rew your additional details that just showed up - why in the world are you having that much deducted? You are just giving the government a large interest free loan.

I'd go by the website date. If could come earlier though.

You are not alone...from what I understand, several people did not get their refund deposited today, as initially scheduled, Jan 30.
My "expected" date now says 2/24/09, although on IRS.gov there is a posting about tax delays beingbogus...obviously refunds are being delayed for some reason since every year that I have efiled, I've received my refund within 10 days. I e-filed on Jan 19 & my return was accepted on Jan 19...I only know two people who did receive their refunds, and the funny thing is, it wasn't on Friday Jan 30, it was early on 1/28!!
****I also have two children and pay for childcare, I am curious how your refund is so large?? Seems impossible?? I doubt you are being audited, the IRS starts auditing around December. I was audited last year and just got my notice here in Jan. The materials they sent me explain that auditing usually begins December of each year...good luck!

$13K is a huge refund suggesting you need to rework your withholding claims. Why make such a large interest-free loan to the federal govt?

If you're receiving EIC (the earned income tax credit) it may well have triggered some follow-up inquiry by the IRS. If you or H&R made an error with respect to the economic stimulus payment you received last year, many of these returns have been delayed for review/correction. Another hazard of being one the first to file is the H&R office might not have worked the bugs out of their software yet this year...

Hope they get it cleared soon!
