Yes! I called IRS and they said they cannot tell me why but that it could be up to 3 weeks from accepted date!!! That does mean the 10th...maybe it will change tomorrow and it's only a safety measure for their own butts. Let me know if yours changes! |

Mine is saying the exact same thing under the same circumstances. I called the IRS and was told that they just didn't know what the reason for this is. They said that their systems did not say what the problem was. If you have any better luck it would be nice to know.
Update: I called today (Wed.) and got a lady that was really upset that I called back. She said that some returns were chosen to be looked at again and that mine was out of that department and that the system will not update until next week. She also in so many words told me not to call back. Not the most pleasant person. Oh and I was on hold for 30 minutes. |

I checked mine today and it said the same thing. Originally scheduled to be deposited by Feb. 3, now it says the 10th. Most deposits are made on Friday, so I assumed the 3rd date included some buffer time for the banks to process. The 10th is outrageous though. Can't believe they changed the date to later. If anyone else finds out why, post it please! |

I filed on the 17th and the IRS website is saying the same thing. I will call Them later and update on it.
Refund Tax changed from 02/3 to 02/10?
Update: same happen here. I called the Irs and she said that mines was sent to the correction department but she don't know why. And that I should get it by 02/13, but I checked irs website snd now it says that it cannot find my refund also I checked the automatied line and it says that I should receive my refund by 2/10..this is sooo confusing . why are they messing up refund this year. I never had a problem before. |

Well I am having the same problem and trying to find out why. Changed from 2/3 to 2/10. I file my taxes and have EIC for the past 15 years, and have never had my return delayed. So i know it's not due to EIC. I did get a rebate check over the summer though. |

Mine also changed the date to later! As if people aren't struggling enough right now, let's delay their refund longer! I hope er really do get our refund when it was originally scheduled. I hope other do too. keep me posted. |

I too just looked and saw that my dates changed from 2/3 to 2/10. I always get the EIC I have two children that I have claimed for the past 10 years now. Since there are so many of us that this is happening to, hopefully we can get some answers. I will post any new news! |

Hello everyone, I filed on the 17th was told by the tax lady the 30th. Then on the 24th I got onto the irs web site it said I would get it on the 3rd of feb. Now today it says the 10th. I am getting that $7500 LOAN so maybe that is it. My husband lost his job today, I am a college student I just payed $400.00 in school books . We have bills a huge pile of them. My husband has been at his job for 16 yrs. I am having major surgery on the 12th of feb I need to pay a $500.00 copay. I have a baby and a 9 yr old. I asked my daughter today if she could get a app for free lunch so I could fill it out. I want to crawl in a hole and not come out. And now the irs wants to play games. I can't even file my state california return yet. It is horrible.
Update- this morning I finally got a hold of the IRS ok the # where a real person is 1800-829-0922 I was told that with the housing credit $7500 dollars and the whole stimuls thing where some did not get one that this has caused dalays. In addition, I was told that the pc's where doen with a glitch however they are running now. Also I was told I did my return on the 17th and that it was recieved on the 19th efiled and it should be no later than the 9th. He said they need at least 3 weeks to process. So I had a friend call about her return,she was told that they only process returns on Fridays. Meaning it will be here then. I could not tell who was telling the truth. I hope it is on the 6th. oh the system will update on wed if not he said I must call on thursday..... |

The exact same thing happened to me as well. Until today the IRS website had been saying I would recieve my refund by Feb. 3rd. Now it is saying being processed and will receive refund by Feb. 10th. I too called the IRS and they couldn't tell me why this was happening either. I did claim a recovery rebate so maybe that's it. |

I called them because I have the same problem and he said that he didn't see anything on the computer about a refund, it being delayed or deposited, but according to the refund chart I should receive it Friday, if not, definitely the Friday afterwards (the 6th) and he said that there were so many to process that no one's was showing up this morning on the computer as to being deposited this friday, but now a few were starting to filter through and state that. He really didn't have a concrete reason at all other than computer issues and them being really overloaded on refunds. I really needed that money this Friday, though. If not this Friday, I am calling back to see if there is more information. |

MY REFUND DATE CHANGED FROM 2/3 TO 2/10. I CALLED , STAYED ON HOLD FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, AND SPOKE TO AN AGENT. HE TOLD ME THERE WAS JUST A GLITCH IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND THAT THE ORIGINAL DATE OF 2/3 IS STILL IN EFFECT. HE SAID HE HAD AN EMAIL IN FRONT OF HIM ASSURING HIM OF THIS. THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY DELAY. |

My also changed to feb. 10 from feb. 3rd. This happens every year but i end up getting my refund on the scheduled day on the refund cycle chart. Let's give it til tommorrow to see if it changes. We should keep each other posted if it does. |

Did you claim an amount for the Recovery Rebate Credit?
If so, your refund will be delayed up to 2 weeks while the IRS verifies that you actually qualify for it. |

Mine changed too. I have heard that it is because they are manually processing the returns that had an amount other than "0" for the recovery rebate credit. Mine does have $300 in there but it is correct. I had another dependent in 2008 that I didn't have in 2007. I hope it's not delayed! |

Mine has been saying Feb. 3rd all along. It actually just changed today and said that it was direct deposited on 1/23 and should be credited by 1/28. It says the same thing for my parents and neither of us have the money in our accounts! I'm very confused at this point. We have 2 different banks so I know it is isn't a posting issue. Not sure if I should wait until tomorrow or what. |

IRS- answer the question,,, the public wants to knowt! if there is an error explain it! so we all can -rearrange our lives. I was going to put down the deposit for an apt, forget that one! |

I filed on the 17th and it showed my refund would be deposited by Feb 3. My brother filed on the 21st and it showed the same deposit date, Feb 3. Yesterday mine changes to Feb 10th. His still showed Feb 3 yesterday. This morning his changes to being deposited TODAY, the 28th!!!!!! Mine is still Feb 10.We both had money due from that recovery credit. We filed using the same website. |

Mine said "by feb 3rd" a few days ago. Now it says "Your tax refund is scheduled to be direct deposited on January 28, 2009. If your refund is not credited to your account by February 2, 2009, check with your bank to find out if it has been received. Please wait until February 2, 2009 before you contact us again because we are unable to take any action until then."
Sweet, I do hope it really is tomorrow. |

hi, mine said the same changed fm 2-3 to 2-10 but originally scheduled the 30th! I was on hold yesterday w/ irs fro 30 mins before i got the slowest person. she was making me give her 07 info, then said she did not see any delays and it was a compt glich! i did not take her guessing and researched it more, found out that this only happens if you have an offset and just like the govt they say they send you notices but do not. mine was from a federal pell grant student loan i owed 296.00 that is why it was delayed. so stop worrying you will def get your money but if you owe taxes and/ or student loans that will hold it up! me and my husband filed the same day i checked his acct and his is there mine is not! i need a state or weather job their never wrong!!!!!!!!
be patient im sure we will all get our moniess and it really isnt the irs fault that we have not recd it, they are short on people and the weather has been bad, no one and nothing is perfect! how many times have we all said we would pay our billls on time to a creditor? they were prob checking like crack heads too, to find out we did not follow through! carma is all i gotta say.
hope this helped and if it didnt keep checking back for a diff answer |
