2025 IRS Transcript Shows "Return Not Present" - Empty Except for Head of Household Status

I just checked my transcript for tax period Dec. 31, 2024 this morning and it's basically empty. The transcript from the Internal Revenue Service United States Department of the Treasury shows "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" and "No tax return filed." Here's exactly what I'm seeing on the transcript that I pulled on February 14, 2025 with tracking number 8649477: FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2024 The entire transcript shows no return filed, no income info, nothing - all the numbers are completely blank including: - ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: [blank] - TAXABLE INCOME: [blank] - TAX PER RETURN: [blank] - SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: [blank] - SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: [blank] - TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: [blank] - EXEMPTIONS: 00 The only thing populated is my filing status which shows as Head of Household. The Account Balance shows $0.00, Accrued Interest is $0.00 and Accrued Penalty is $0.00 as of Mar. 03, 2025. The Account Balance Plus Accruals (which it notes is not a payoff amount) is also showing $0.00. Under the TRANSACTIONS section, it simply states "No tax return filed" with no cycle date or amount. The response date on the transcript is also 02-14-2025, the same day I requested it. It says "This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data" at the top and bottom of the page. Is this normal? Should I be worried that everything is blank except for the filing status? I'm concerned since it's already mid-February and the system doesn't seem to have any of my information at all.

The transcript from February 14, 2025, shows a completely normal status for a tax return that hasn't been fully processed yet. Let's break down the key elements: The transcript clearly indicates "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" and "No tax return filed" because it's viewing the 2024 tax period, which is still in the processing phase. While most fields are blank (Adjusted Gross Income, Taxable Income, Tax Per Return, and Self Employment Tax), this is expected during the initial processing period. A few important details to note: - Your Account Balance, Accrued Interest, and Accrued Penalty all show $0.00 as of March 3, 2025 - The only populated field is your Filing Status (Head of Household), which is likely carried over from your previous year's filing - The tracking number (8649477) confirms this is a recent transcript pull Standard IRS processing times are: - 24-48 hours for a return to first appear in the system - Approximately 21 days for complete processing of a standard return These empty fields and "Return Not Present" message are standard placeholder statuses until your return completes processing. There's no cause for concern at this stage of the filing process.
