2024 Return Accepted Jan 17th - Still Processing on Where's My Refund (WMR)

Filed my taxes electronically as soon as they opened for 2024 and got accepted on January 17th. The Where's My Refund tool still shows processing. No transcripts updates and no DDD yet. Anyone else in this situation or know whats going on?

Tax pro here. The IRS is following their standard 21-day processing timeline for most returns. Early filers with EIC/CTC might see longer delays due to PATH Act requirements. Check your transcripts for cycle codes - that'll give you better insight than WMR.

Look at your account transcript, find the most recent cycle code (usually ends in 05 or 01). But honestly, transcripts can be confusing af to read 😅

Instead of trying to decode everything yourself, try taxr.ai - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats happening and when to expect your refund. Its only $1 and worth every penny tbh https://taxr.ai

100% legit! Used it last week and it predicted my DDD perfectly. Way better than trying to figure out all these codes ourselves 💯

Check if you claimed EIC or CTC. The PATH act prevents the IRS from issuing certain refunds before mid-February. Its stupid but thats how it works
