NewGirl51 Champion Author Oregon Posts:8,392 Points:1,280,625 Joined:Jul 2009	Message Posted: Feb 4, 2013 12:52:53 PM Ignore NewGirl51 Report Abuse I got my 1099-R on January 16th but I knew IRS wasn't accepting returns until January 30th. I decided to take a chance and try to file anyway...maybe I would be one of the first ones they process this year. I used the free version of Turbo Tax online, as I always do. It warned me of the January 30th date but allowed me to complete my return and even transmit to IRS. I didn't expect to hear anything until the 30th but on the 24th, I got an email that my return had been accepted and was being processed! I waited a couple of days and checked the status on it using the IRS.gov "Where's My Refund" link. It said my return would be deposited in my checking account on February 6th. Turns out, it was deposited at 9:30 this morning...2 days early!

Sneakers55 Champion Author Houston Posts:51,300 Points:2,143,925 Joined:Nov 2005	Message Posted: Feb 20, 2013 10:05:18 PM Ignore Sneakers55 Report Abuse Yesterday, I went to "Where's My Refund?" It said that my refund would be deposited tomorrow. I went to my bank's online banking system to check if I would be lucky like NewGirl51 and get it earlier that they said, but I didn't. I'm ready to get it as I'm going to put some of it in my savings accounts and use the rest to pay down some of my outstanding debt.

NewGirl51 Champion Author Oregon Posts:8,392 Points:1,280,625 Joined:Jul 2009	Message Posted: Feb 15, 2013 11:28:15 AM Ignore NewGirl51 Report Abuse If anyone has already filed, whether you did it yourself or you paid to have it done, you can always go to Where's My Refund on the irs.gov website to check the status of your refund. All you have to know is your SSN, filing status (Single, Married-Filing Joint Return, Married-Filing Separate Return, Head of Household, or Qualifying Widow(er)), and amount of your refund. You don't have to wait for your preparer to give you that information - you will see the 3 stages of your refund process and what stage yours is at: Return Received, Return Approved, Return Sent (it will give you a projected date of direct deposit but you might get it sooner than that date)
