    The IRS is making EVERYBODY wait thier time out to weed out the fraud. Mine came 10 days with direct deposit. In main checks are taking longer to process this year. That's what I've heard :)

    Well, first you have to file, then they send you money unless you owe. Any questions?

    I e-filed on 1/12. They started processing on 1/17 - my money was direct deposited into my account 1/25.

    The IRS is slowing down refunds just a bit this year (especially sending checks) due to the number of fraudulent returns that were efiled last year (through identity theft). When the real taxpayer went to file their return, they found that one had already been efiled. Best to efile and request direct deposit to get the refund faster.

    The IRS made a statement that they had a software glitch affecting anyone that e-filed before Jan 31 was going to get their return a week later than originally estimated. I filed on the 16th and am suppose to receive my return tomorrow.

    I can't complain about the speed this year. :) Last year I was one of the lucky flagged folks that had to wait an extra two week processing! Not this year.

    I filed on 1/25 and I am still waiting. I did a status check with the IRS website and they said I would have it by the 2/14. I'm waiting with baited breath here because I am planning to use it to put a down payment on a house and closing is on the 2/22. They need to come on with it so I can sleep peacefully... DAMMIT!!

    I did get the state back already. It's gone.

    I've gotten both federal and state back- e-filed. State took 3 days, go Maryland! Federal took 10.

    We file in March usually, but our accountant sets it up so that the IRS can't take our money until April 15th.

    Due to the first-time home buyer's credit last year along with foreign income and energy credits, our refund was held and scrutinized for ... a long, long time. They paid us close to $200 in interest on top of our refund. The IRS hold music was burned into my very psyche.

    This year is much easier and straightforward; I expect they'll take even longer to process it. (Did it in 4 or so hours along with our state taxes and mailed it in yesterday.)

    If a state the likes of Illinois can offer free electronic filing to *everyone*, why can the Department of Treasury not do the same?

    Yeah. A co-worker and I e-filed on the same day. Said I would get mine Feb 1st. That didn't happen. Then the IRS site said I'd have it by Feb 3rd. That didn't happen either. I checked again and it said Feb 8th. So, we'll see, I guess.

    I filed through HRblock.com around the 28th of the month and according to the irs website I should get getting our refund direct deposited tomorrow. I never believe them until I see the money but yeah. Tomorrow.

    I was sure I was getting audited because like 6 years ago I did and when I filed online nothing would come up on turbotax. Well same **** happened this year BUT I just got an email saying it's going through.

    YEEEEESSSSSSSSS

    you might check the irs.gov website. Some types of returns were held this year if you filed early and fell into one of the catagories. if you search delayed processing on the irs.gov site you will be able to tell if you fell into one of the catagories.
    You can also use the "where's my refund?" tool at the site to get an idea when you might expect the refund.
