2024 Return Accepted 2/3 - No Transcript After Week+ & TurboTax Showing "Pending" Status

Filed through TurboTax and got accepted on Feb 2nd but nothing has updated since. When I check Where's My Refund it just says processing but my transcripts aren't even showing up yet. Anyone else experiencing this? Getting worried since I need this money. I can see in my TurboTax app that I e-filed on 01/30 and it shows my 2024 tax return status as "Pending" under the refund delivery section. The app confirms "Return received by IRS" on 01/30 and "Accepted" on 02/03. I even signed up to receive my federal refund 5 days early through TurboTax. When I look at the TurboTax mobile app screen, it clearly shows: Welcome, April 2024 K return E-filed Pending Refund delivery 01/30 You signed up to receive your federal refund 5 days early. Return received by IRS 01/30 Accepted 02/03 Download return But when I check the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool, it's just stuck on processing. My transcripts aren't even available to view yet in the IRS system. It's been over a week since acceptance and I'm getting really anxious. I was counting on getting this money soon, especially since I signed up for that "5 days early" option. Has anyone else filed around the same time and is experiencing delays? Is this normal this year?

Tax preparer here with some insight on this. When TurboTax isn't updating and transcripts aren't available yet, it usually means your return is still in the initial processing stage. The IRS systems take about 24-48 hours after acceptance to begin showing any transcript updates. However, you can get ahead of this by using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) - it's an AI tool that analyzes your tax docs and gives you specific insights about refund timing and potential delays. It's been super helpful for my clients who are anxious about their refunds.
