WMR is down for me too. Tried all morning. Can't check my refund status. Need this money ASAP. Bills due next week. IRS should fix their systems. This happens every year. Unacceptable during tax season. Try again later tonight.

I encountered this exact issue last tax season when checking on my business amendment. The WMR tool was down for nearly 3 days straight during the second week of April. I called the IRS practitioner hotline and they confirmed it was a system-wide issue affecting multiple online services. What's concerning is that even when the tool came back online, it showed incorrect information for about 48 hours - told me my return wasn't received when it had actually been processed. I'd recommend waiting until tomorrow before getting too worried about your specific situation.

wait so ur telling me these random numbers actually mean something? 🤔 ive been ignoring mine lmaooo

Congrats on getting the 811! That's the code we all want to see 🎉 For anyone else confused by transcript codes, here's a quick breakdown: 424 = under review, 810 = account frozen, 811 = freeze released. The cycle dates and DDD (Direct Deposit Date) are what really matter for timing. Dylan, you should definitely see that money hit your account on 2/24!

Just went through this exact same situation! Had 424/810/811 codes show up in January. The 424 freeze lasted about 2.5 weeks for me before it cleared and I got my 846 code. From what I've learned lurking here, the Feb 24 date you're seeing is probably just when they processed the freeze codes, not necessarily your refund date. Keep checking your transcript every few days - once that 424 disappears and you see an 846 code, that's when you'll have your actual refund date. Hang in there!

I had a similar situation last year with these same codes! From my experience, the 424 code means they're doing a manual review of your return - could be anything from income verification to checking deductions. The 810/811 combo usually means they put a temporary hold on your refund and then released it, which is actually good news. The tricky part is that 424 can take anywhere from 2-8 weeks to clear depending on what they're reviewing. I wouldn't rely on that Feb 24 date unfortunately - that's likely just a processing date. Keep checking your transcript weekly and look for that 424 to disappear. Once you see an 846 code with a date, that's your actual refund date. The waiting sucks but try not to stress too much!

To clarify some confusion in this thread: According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1.4.7, the DDD (Direct Deposit Date) serves as the scheduled date for the release of funds from the Treasury. For direct deposits, this is the date funds are transmitted to financial institutions. For paper checks, IRS procedures stipulate that checks are generally printed and mailed within 1-2 business days after the DDD. Treasury Regulation §301.6402-2 further specifies that refund checks must be mailed to the taxpayer's last known address, which is typically the address on your most recent return unless you've submitted a change of address (Form 8822).

Thanks for sharing your experience Rachel! I went through something similar last year - had a DDD but chose paper check for similar financial planning reasons. Based on my experience and what others have shared here, you should plan for your check to arrive roughly 5-10 business days after your DDD. The IRS typically mails within 1-2 days of the DDD, then it's standard mail delivery time. For your portfolio rebalancing timeline, I'd recommend building in a buffer of at least 2 weeks after your DDD to be safe, especially if you're doing this around month-end when mail volumes can be higher. You can always move faster if the check arrives early, but it's harder to delay scheduled investment moves if the check is late!

Had this EXACT same issue in Feb. International filer, first time w/ US taxes, got the 570 code. In my case, it was bc I had claimed foreign tax credit (Form 1116) which triggers auto review. After 3 wks, got code 571 (hold released) and refund DD'd 5 days later. No contact from IRS needed. Def check if you have any foreign income reported - that's almost always what triggers 570 for intl filers.

I went through this exact situation last year as a first-time international filer! Code 570 appeared on my transcript in early April, and I was panicking because I had no idea what it meant. Turns out it's super common for non-US citizens - the IRS just needs extra time to verify certain aspects of our returns. Mine resolved automatically after about 19 days with a 571 code, and my refund was deposited within a week after that. The waiting is definitely nerve-wracking, but try not to stress too much. Did you claim any education credits or foreign tax credits on your return? Those seem to trigger the 570 review more often from what I've seen in this community.
