2021 Tax Return Not Showing in IRS Transcript System While All Other Years (2019-2022) Are Visible

Looking at my IRS transcript and it's showing no return filed for 2021. I've been checking my transcript through sa.www4.irs.gov and when I look at both the Return Transcript and Record of Account Transcript for 2021, they're both showing as N/A. I can see transcripts available for 2019, 2020, and even 2022, but 2021 is the problem year. Here's exactly what I'm seeing: Return Transcript: N/A - 2021 2020 2019 Record of Account Transcript: N/A - 2021 2020 2019 Account Transcript: 2022 2021 2020 2019 Wage & Income Transcript: 2022 2021 2020 2019 The Account Transcript and Wage & Income Transcript are technically available for 2021, but when I click on them, there are zero codes showing up, nothing processing. It's like the IRS has no record of my tax filing for 2021 even though I'm positive I filed. The page shows "You selected: Other" and "We suggest you download: No suggestion" at the top. I've been checking the transcript website every week at different times (last check was at 12:38) and still nothing has changed. The interface shows all the years with "Show All" options, but the 2021 Return Transcript remains unavailable. I've tried using different browsers too, but get the same results. Anyone else's account looking the same way? Starting to get worried that my 2021 return was never received or is lost in the system somewhere. Should I refile or wait longer? It's been months now with no change.

The IRS transcript page shows a concerning pattern for your 2021 tax year. While you have access to all transcript types (Return, Record of Account, Account, and Wage & Income) for 2019, 2020, and 2022, your 2021 Return Transcript and Record of Account Transcript are both marked as "N/A" (Not Available). This is significant because: - Return Transcript availability typically indicates a processed return - "N/A" status specifically suggests no return has been processed for that year - The fact that both Account Transcript and Wage & Income Transcript are available but empty for 2021 further confirms no return processing This pattern is inconsistent with a normally filed and processed return. While you can access your Account Transcript and Wage & Income Transcript for 2021, the absence of any codes or processing indicators, combined with the "N/A" status on the Return and Record of Account transcripts, strongly suggests the IRS has no record of receiving your 2021 return. This is not a typical glitch and warrants immediate attention, especially since you have normal transcript access for surrounding years.
