    Refunds delayed

    This week I've had 2 clients call inquiring about a delay in their refunds. Both were supposed to be direct deposited last week, and the IRS website was saying they should have their money by yesterday the 16th. Now the website is reporting they should have their money by the 30th. Used the same routing/account numbers as last year and both clients say that account is still open.

    Anyone else having similar issues? Any thoughts?

    Having the same problem with one client, refund should of been deposit March 12, when I
    check the Refund Status--it said the refund is scheduled to be deposited March 16, I just
    check it again--now it says the refund is schedule to be deposited on March 22, 2010.
    Most of the client got there refund on schedule--don't know what is going on.

      I've had this happen a few times this year. I think these are returns that are getting pulled for random reviews. Usually hit up on the next payment date.

        I've had 4 like this. All having energy credits on them.
        I hope they soon get it resolved.

          I have a refund that was in the cycle for direct deposit on the the 12th, then rescheduled per site for the 23rd, and now being processed, if no errors found deposit on March 30th.
          I can't help but notice I'd be the third poster on this thread from Wisconsin - do you think that means anything?

              Investigation

              Uncle Sam is investigating these folks.I have had a few also. I called the IRS and that is exactly what they said.

                Best time of the day!

                Another questions to the Wisconsin preparers - are your Wisconsin acknowledgements coming in really slow? Some of mine have taken a day or two after the Federal acceptance, I don't recall last year being as slow?

                  Did they say anymore? What they might be looking for? Is it a certain credit that triggers or just random pick?

                    My own return has been delayed!

                    I was supposed to get my refund last Friday. Then it said it would be deposited on 3/16. Now it says it is processing. My return did contain a $252 energy credit. I'm from Michigan.

                      My return in question had an energy credit and American Opportunity education credit.

                        Any of these

                        clients receive unemployment? I had one, seems the irs thingie entered total unemployment received rather than taxable amount, then refund was delayed while a correction was worked out.

                          I believe this is not the only year that refunds are delayed. The acceptance of a return by the IRS is an automatic process, so is the refund date. However, only later they decide which returns they want to take a closer look at, hence the delay.

                          What is different this year is that they want to look at more returns for various reasons.

                          In a way form 9325 is worthless and maybe we have to start to caution our clients with something like: If everything is going well you can rely on the date shown on form 9325.

                            I tell every person the same thing, "This is not a guaranteed date, so don't spend it before you get it and if it's not in your account on that exact date don't panic"!

                              Delay also

                              My parents refund was delayed a week. They don't have any credits. Just retirment and SSA benefits.

                              I also tell my clients the date the IRS releases money and that there is no guarantee on the actual date they will receive the money. But of course they never hear all of that.
