Whatever you do, DON'T agree to anything or make any payments without fully understanding your situation. The IRS can be pushy, but you have rights!
One cautionary note: If you claimed certain credits like EITC or ACTC, be aware that even with a DDD, your refund might be subject to the PATH Act hold. I had a similar timeline to yours last year, got excited about seeing my DDD, but then had to wait an additional 2 weeks because the PATH Act prevents the IRS from issuing certain refunds before mid-February. Don't make financial commitments based on your expected refund date until the money is actually in your account.
I verified on Monday April 14, and I checked today April 26th and it is being process? Should I call the irs instead
Has anyone tried contacting their local Taxpayer Advocate Service? I've heard they can sometimes help with refund delays if you're experiencing financial hardship.
Pro tip: If you're expecting a big refund next year, consider adjusting your withholdings instead. It's basically giving the government an interest-free loan otherwise!
This! š I started doing this a couple years ago and it's so much better. More money in each paycheck and no stress about refund delays
Have you tried reaching out to your congressional representative? Sometimes they can light a fire under the IRS and get things moving.
I second this! My cousin did this and suddenly her refund issue got resolved in like 2 weeks. Worth a shot!

Hey guys, I found a method to actually get someone on the phone at the IRS. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

ā¢Can you give more details about how it works? Like, do you have to give them any personal info?

ā¢Nah, you just put in the number you want them to call, and they do all the waiting on hold for you. When an agent picks up, they connect you. Simple as that.

Pro tip: If you're expecting a large refund, consider adjusting your withholdings for next year. It's better to have that money throughout the year than to give the government an interest-free loan!
