Re: tax refund question

Yes. But I am still saying Friday afternoon.

Irs says processing but Jackson hewitt says accepted. Who do I believe?

Here is a life lesson for you. ALWAYS believe the party with the money. In this case, the IRS!

The IRS. Jackson Hewitt has to update their database from the IRS and I would say the do not do it very often.

So Jackson hewitt database is wrong?

It is kind of like airfares. An airline changes a fare during the day and posts to its website that new fare. The updated fare will not show up in other internet sources for anywhere from 1 minute to 1 hour. I doubt JH updates refund status more than once per day. Updating is expensive and most of their effort is going to be in making sure returns are accepted and processing starts. If not, they are going to have to find out why and maybe have another face to face meeting with a client, at great expense to them. Just keep checking the information the IRS is putting out.

They say it was accepted but Irs still days processing.
