Filed Form 8379 (Injured Spouse) - How long for processing and what should I expect?

I submitted a Form 8379 (Injured Spouse Allocation) with our joint return back in April 2024. My spouse owes back child support from before we were married, and our entire refund of $3,840 was offset. I've been checking my transcript weekly but there's no movement at all. Does anyone know how long these injured spouse claims actually take to process? And what should I expect to get back? Will they give me my portion or will they just keep everything anyway? The IRS website says 8-14 weeks but I'm at 16 weeks now with zero updates.

IRS Refund Status Changed from 'Allow 21 Days' to 'Still Being Processed' - Head of Household Filer with Blank Transcripts

IRS showing "Action Required" message for 3 weeks after accepting my return on 2/15 - no notice received yet

I filed my taxes on February 12 and the IRS accepted my return on February 15. It's been almost 3 weeks now and there's still no update on the Where's My Refund app. When I check online it just says "Action Required" and that they received my tax return and are reviewing it. The IRS website specifically shows: "Action Required Please read the following information related to your tax situation. You may need to provide additional information to receive your full refund. We received your tax return and are reviewing it. If we need additional information, we'll mail a notice with further instructions. If you've already received a notice, please follow the instructions. If we determine no additional information is needed, we'll continue to process your refund." This message appears on the official IRS website under the "Refund Status Results" section when I log in to check my refund. The site is showing this message instead of the usual processing or approved status. It says they might need additional information to process my full refund, but I haven't received any notices or letters in the mail. I've been checking my mailbox every day and nothing from the IRS has arrived. Has anyone else seen this "Action Required" message? I'm getting worried because I was counting on this money soon. The IRS says they'll mail a notice if they need more info, but there's been nothing in my mailbox. And if they don't need anything, they'll "continue to process" my refund - but there's no timeline given for when that might happen. The website doesn't give any other details about what might be causing the delay or what specific information they might need. Should I call the IRS directly or just keep waiting for a potential letter?

H&R Block submitted my return without all documents, IRS shows 'duplicate return filed' after I sent in Form 14157 and paper 1040. Should I file an amendment myself?

H&R Block submitted my tax return without all my documents! The IRS rejected it 4 times before finally accepting it. I called the IRS and they told me to submit Form 14157 and a paper 1040, which I did about 6 weeks ago. When I check my transcript now, all it says is "duplicate return filed". I'm missing about $7,200 because of H&R Block's mistake. Should I just go ahead and amend the return myself? I see that you can e-file amended returns now. I just don't know what the right move is at this point. Has anyone dealt with something similar?

How long does SBTPG take to mail a cashier's check? Sent 5/10

I got my tax return processed and SBTPG mailed out a cashier's check to me on May 10th (about 3 weeks ago). Still haven't received anything in the mail. Is this normal? How long should I expect to wait before I should start worrying? This is my first time having them mail me a check instead of direct deposit.

Can I see if IRS will deduct anything from my refund before it hits my bank account?

I filed my taxes in early April, and I got the notification that my return was accepted about a week later. When I checked Where's My Refund, it says my refund of $2,387 is approved and should be sent to my account in the next few days. I'm a bit worried because I have some old student loans I haven't been paying on for a while. I heard the Treasury Offset Program might take some of my refund, but I don't know how to find out before it hits my account. Is there anywhere I can check to see if they're gonna take some of my money before I get the deposit? I need to know cuz I already planned to use that money for some urgent bills.

What do IRS transcript codes 570 and 971 mean? Filed early April, TurboTax says approved but WMR shows processing

I submitted my taxes on April 3rd and paid for that "express" processing option from TurboTax that supposedly gets your refund faster. According to the TurboTax app, my taxes were approved, but when I check Where's My Refund tool it still says processing. I checked my transcript today and noticed codes 570 and 971 both dated 5/22/25. My cycle code is 20250715. The transcript shows zero balance due. What makes this even more confusing is that WMR just updated from "still processing" to just "processing" - is there even a difference? No updates on transcripts since I first checked them last week. Can anyone tell me what these codes actually mean and if I should be concerned?

All positive transcript codes then 971 appeared - how long until refund?

Filed my 2024 taxes on March 12 and got accepted right away. Everything was looking good with all the positive codes showing up on my transcript (150, 806, etc). Was expecting my refund of around $3,200 based on the WMR tool saying it would be deposited by April 3. Then suddenly noticed a 971 code appeared on my transcript dated for April 15. No explanation, no letter yet. Has anyone dealt with this? I'm wondering if this is gonna significantly delay my refund or if it's just a minor hiccup. Really counting on this money for some car repairs I've been putting off.

Worried about tax refund delay after last year's June payout - transcript not updating after 14 days

Had a nightmare with my return last tax season. The IRS didn't release my refund until mid-July due to what they called a "processing error" in their system. Now I'm back in the same boat I think. Filed on March 5th through TurboTax, got my acceptance notice same day. Tomorrow marks 14 days since filing and my transcript hasn't updated at all. Still showing N/A for 2023. When I check Where's My Refund it just says it's still processing. I'm getting really anxious because I really need this money for some upcoming bills. Is anyone else experiencing delays already this year? I'm worried I'm about to go through another 4 month wait like last year.

How long after verifying identity with mailed code does transcript update? Anyone else go through this?

So I finally got that verification letter in the mail from the IRS with the code to verify my identity online. I entered the code on the IRS website about 10 days ago and got the confirmation screen saying my identity was successfully verified. But when I check my transcript, literally nothing has changed. Still showing N/A for 2024 return. Has anyone else gone through this verification process? How long did it take after you entered that stupid code for your transcript to actually update and show any movement? I filed back in April and have been waiting for almost 3 months now, getting really frustrated.
