2023 Return Stuck After W2 Verification - Tax Advocate Says Movement Soon
Filed in January and got a letter requesting W2 verification in February. Faxed it right away but no movement for a month. Finally got through to IRS today and they assigned me a tax advocate who said I'm not in errors department and should see movement soon after his request. Will update when anything changes.

The good news is you're not in the errors department, which typically means faster processing. When the advocate makes a request, it usually takes 4-5 business days to see transcript updates. Keep checking your transcript daily for any changes.

•Transcripts usually update overnight between 3-5am EST. But sometimes random updates happen midday too

Instead of checking transcripts manually, you should try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on and when to expect updates. Its only $1 and way better than playing detective. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai
