ok, I was supposed to get my refund 1/30, never happened, called IRS and spoke w/CSR on 1/30, she & her supervisor went over my return and indciated that there was a glitch in the system and my refund would be delayed 1 wk, ok, so I should have received it on 2/6, well as of today, I have spoken to the IRS 3 different times now I have a code 1301, 1st rep didn't know what that meant. 2nd rep told me I had an error on my return (even though on 1/30 supervisor indicated my return was fine) 3rd rep told me it is absolutely a glitch in their system but they have 3 wks from the date my return was filed (1/20) to give me a DD date so if I don't have any date by 2/10 then call back. This is so crazy, why can't they just tell the truth.

to bud68, yes I know calling will not GET my refund to me sooner, however, I should be able to know the date they plan on depositing it. Some of us out there are facing very hard times and need the $ for basic needs. But hey, thanks for your input.
I can't tell you what is going on, but I absolutely feel your pain. I filed on the 16th and was accepted the day after, and given a DD date of 1/30. Then they delayed my refund to processing delays. Then they said there was a glitch in the syaytem and don't trust the 2/24 date on their website. Then they told me my return is in errors. Then they told me my return was NOT in errors. Yesterday, they said i should have DD by Feb 13 (to subtract 10 days from website date) and fnally, today, a hr block rep called me and told me IRS sent her an email that they will start to release funds for DD recipients tomorrow starting at 7pm. WTF? Why can't they just tell us the truth? I'd be a little more patient and understanding if their answers were consistent. THis is nothing but added stress when you get told 500 different things. Best of luck to you. I think I may just start smoking cigarettes.
They cannot tell you anything simply because they don't KNOW anything. There's no way to pull up status information until your refund is at LEAST one week late according to the Where's My Refund tool.
There's nothing that you can do to expedite the process and pestering the IRS toads only increases the likelihood that something will happen to further delay the processing of your return and the release of any refund.
You know, I have not a clue!!! At least they still have yours in the system! My DD date has changed 3 times now. I went on the Where's My Refund page, and now they have no record of it at all! What the heck? It was there less than 24 hours ago!!!
left hand don't know what right hand is doing, the problem is that you are not talking to the same person. Every time you have to explain yourself all over again. This system work fine for big company and government because you will give up. I have problem with my water heater rental I talk with over ten different people finally get my new water heater. The main point DON'T GIVE UP, you let them know you not going to give up or go away, I have fun calling them everyday when I have free time lol. I wish I can change the government or big company that have monopoly on our life.
