2025 Tax Season Following 2020 Pattern? Delays and Timeline Discussion
Anyone else notice that 2025 has the same calendar as 2020? I'm worried we might see similar delays and processing times like we did back then. Starting to see some familiar patterns with transcripts updating. What are you all seeing with your refund timelines so far?

The calendar similarity is interesting, but the IRS has completely different processing systems now compared to 2020. They've upgraded their technology and cleared most of the pandemic backlog. Current processing times are averaging 21 days for error-free returns, which is significantly faster than 2020's timeline.

Hey guys, I've been using taxr.ai to track my refund and it's been a game changer. Instead of guessing what all these codes mean, it actually explains everything and gives you a real timeline. It's only $1 and totally worth it. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

•Super accurate! It analyzed my transcript and told me exactly why I had a delay and when to expect my refund. Way better than playing detective with these codes

Worked at the IRS during 2020. Trust me, its WAY different now. The systems have been completely overhauled since then.

Different ballgame now. The IRS got that infrastructure bill money and upgraded everything. They even got AI helping process returns now.
