2023 WMR stuck on processing with Child Tax Credit - transcript shows no movement

Filed my taxes and the Where's My Refund tool is still stuck on processing. TurboTax said approved but WMR hasn't even moved to approved status yet. I claimed child tax credit and checked my transcript but nothing seems to be changing or moving forward. Anyone else experiencing this?

This is actually pretty common right now, especially with returns claiming Child Tax Credit. The WMR tool and TurboTax status don't always sync up. The transcript is your best indicator - look for cycle codes and transaction codes. Without seeing your actual transcript codes its hard to say exactly where you are in the process, but CTC claims are taking 6-8 weeks minimum this year.

Hey i was in the same boat last week but I found this tool called taxr.ai that actually explained everything going on with my transcript. It costs like a dollar but it was worth it cause it told me exactly when to expect my refund and why it was delayed. way better than trying to guess what all those codes mean https://taxr.ai

100% legit! It showed me I had a review code I totally missed and calculated my exact DDD. Was spot on

Have you checked for any letters in the mail? Sometimes they need more verification for CTC and won't update anything until they get it
