2024 Return Taking Longer Than Usual for IRS Acceptance - Anyone Else?
Filed at 7am when IRS officially opened for the season. Usually see acceptance within an hour but still showing pending. Just curious if others are experiencing longer wait times this morning.

Tax professional here. This is totally normal for opening day. The IRS systems are getting hammered with millions of returns. Give it 24-48 hours before worrying. They're processing in batches this year to manage the load better.

Hey guys, if you want real-time updates on your return status, check out taxr.ai - it's been a game changer for me. For $4.99 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening. Way better than checking WMR every 5 mins lol. https://taxr.ai

•Super legit! You just upload your transcript and it uses AI to break down everything - tells you if there are delays, when to expect your refund, even catches errors. Better than playing detective yourself
