How many days between income reporting on SSA account and DDD appearing on transcript?

Filed my taxes in mid-March and got a notification my return was accepted within a few days. Been checking my transcripts weekly and my income showed up on my Social Security account about 10 days ago, but still no Direct Deposit Date on my transcript. Does anyone know how long it typically takes after your income shows up on SSA for your DDD to appear? This is the first year I've actually paid attention to the process. No dependents, pretty straightforward return. Starting to get anxious as it's already May and many people I know already got their refunds.

Transcript finally updated after verifying identity over the phone - no letter received

So my tax return was accepted on March 12th, and I was expecting my refund within the standard 21 day timeframe. After waiting patiently for almost 4 weeks with no updates and a completely blank transcript, I decided to call the IRS to see what was going on. The first representative I spoke with on April 5th told me to call back on April 9th if nothing changed. When I called back on the 9th, I mentioned that the previous rep told me to call after the 21 days had passed to check on the status. They immediately offered to let me verify my identity over the phone, even though I never received any letter requesting verification. Just completed the verification process about an hour ago, and I just checked - my transcript has already updated with a refund date! If you're stuck in limbo with no transcript updates past the normal timeframe, definitely call and ask what's happening.

Can't see anything on my IRS transcript - completely blank. Anyone know what to do?

I've been trying to check my tax transcript online for weeks now and it's completely blank. I filed my taxes back in April 2024 and got confirmation that they were accepted, but when I log into the IRS website and try to view my transcript there's literally nothing there. Just a blank page. I've tried different browsers, cleared cache, even tried on my phone, but still nothing shows up. Called the IRS three times but can't get through to a real person. Has anyone else dealt with this? Is there something wrong with my account or is this some kind of glitch in their system? I'm supposed to be getting a refund and have no idea what's happening with it.

Anyone with Chase Bank still waiting for 5/15 direct deposit from IRS? Nothing showing yet

My tax transcript shows a direct deposit date of May 15 for my refund and it's now the 17th with nothing in my Chase account yet. Called the bank and they said they don't see any pending deposits either. Transcript shows code 846 with $5,634 next to it. This is my first time getting a refund so late in the year (filed in april) and I'm getting nervous. Anyone else with Chase having this issue? How long should I wait before contacting the IRS?

How to get through to a real IRS agent on the phone (not automated system)

Trying to reach an actual human at the IRS and not just their automated system is driving me crazy. I've been calling the main number (800-829-1040) for three weeks now and either get stuck in an endless menu loop or get disconnected after waiting on hold for an hour. I need to talk to someone about why my 2023 refund is delayed. The Where's My Refund tool just says "still processing" and it's been 4 months since I filed. Has anyone had success getting through? Is there a special extension or time of day that works better? Or a completely different number I should be calling?

Filed March 5th, randomly checked transcript April 15th and found identity verification needed, got DDD after in-person verification

I filed on March 5th and got accepted same day. Around April 15th I randomly decided to log into my account to check my transcripts. To my surprise, it showed I needed to verify my tax return in my notifications. I called for several days trying to see if I could verify over the phone, and was asking when to expect the verification letter. Since I'm not in a disaster state, they wouldn't let me do the verification over the phone. Got tired of waiting for a letter and went in person last Monday to verify. My transcripts went from completely blank to showing all codes that Friday, including my 846 code with a DDD of May 24th. Money hit my TurboTax card yesterday.

Filed my 2024 taxes and still waiting for IRS acceptance - how long is normal?

Filed my taxes through TurboTax on April 12th this year and I'm still waiting for them to be accepted by the IRS. The app says my return was transmitted but nothing else. I'm seeing the same status when I go to the Where's My Refund site - just shows as "received" but not accepted yet. How long did it take for y'all to get your returns accepted? Is this normal or should I be worried? This is day 8 of waiting and I'm getting a little anxious since I'm counting on that money.

Does my NY state tax transcript showing 'balance due' mean I actually owe money after e-filing?

I filed my federal and state returns electronically back in April 2025. About 2 weeks later I received my federal refund just fine, but when I checked my NY state tax account today I got confused by what I'm seeing. The system shows a "balance due" of $347, but I thought I had already paid everything through withholding. The transcript has a line item for "taxes assessed" and then another line for "payments/credits" which is lower than the taxes assessed amount. But I don't remember owing anything when I submitted - I'm pretty sure I even had a small refund coming. I've never owed state taxes before so I'm confused if this is an actual bill or just showing what I already paid through my employer's withholding. I didn't receive any mail from NYS Tax Department about owing money. Does this definitely mean I need to pay more?

How soon are people seeing updates after ID.me phone verification? Any timeline for returns moving again?
