2022 Return Stuck in Limbo Since January: Accepted by IRS on Jan 17 But Still Processing 9 Months Later

Filed my 2022 return back in April and still no movement. It's been months and my transcript shows no codes, just N/A everywhere. The WMR says still processing. What's frustrating is I can see in my TurboTax account that my Federal Return was received by TurboTax on Tuesday, Jan 14 at 12:25 PM EST and then received by the IRS on Friday, Jan 17 at 1:16 PM EST. The filing status even changed to "Accepted" on Friday, Jan 17 at 6:54 PM EST. My Georgia Return was also received by TurboTax. So the IRS definitely has my return and even accepted it back in January! But here we are months later with zero movement. I've called the IRS multiple times but they just keep telling me to wait, with no explanation for why it's taking so long when my return was accepted in January. Anyone else stuck like this with a return that shows as "Accepted" but isn't actually processing? I'm getting desperate since I'm counting on this money, and it's been over 6 months since the IRS accepted my return. Why would it show as accepted in January but still not be processed?

Tax pro here. This usually indicates your return is in the error resolution department or under review. Without specific codes showing up, it's likely caught in identity verification or income verification. Have you received any letters from the IRS requesting additional information?

Check your mail carefully. Sometimes notices get lost or look like junk mail. Also verify your address is correct on the return.

Hey there - I was in the same boat until I used taxr.ai to analyze my transcript. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it. The AI spotted exactly why my return was held up and gave me a timeline prediction that was spot on. Way better than guessing or waiting on hold with the IRS. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

Did you claim EIC or child tax credit? Those usually take longer to process and get extra scrutiny.
