03 Cycle Code Updates - Weekly Thread

Anyone else on the 03 cycle getting movement? Had my transcript update this morning with the 03 cycle code and I'm hoping others can share their updates. Starting to wonder if we're all stuck in a holding pattern or if refunds are actually getting processed.

Need help understanding my transcript - anyone see a DDD?

IRS Blocking Transcript Access 21 Days After Filing 1/30 - Identity Verification System Failing Despite Previous Years' Success

Filed my taxes electronically on 1/30 and now I'm having major issues accessing my transcripts online. When I try to login, I get this error message saying "We are not able to provide assistance to you via the identity verification tool" and they can't verify my identity. I've never had this problem before - I always prefer checking transcripts instead of WMR but now I'm completely locked out. The exact error page I'm seeing says "Verify Your Return" at the top, and then "We are not able to provide assistance to you via the identity verification tool." It's so frustrating because I've been using transcript access for years without any problems! The page then goes on to tell me: "If you've already filed, processing usually takes 21 days (electronic returns) or six weeks (paper returns)." And then it keeps directing me to use "Where's My Refund" or download their "IRS2Go app" instead. They even mention "If you've filed an amended return, processing usually takes up to 20 weeks. To check the status of your amended return, go to Where's My Amended Return" - but that's not even relevant to my situation since this isn't an amended return. I'm frustrated because transcript access has always been my go-to method, and now I'm suddenly getting blocked by their identity verification system. I've tried multiple times to verify my identity but keep getting the same message. The transcript system gives so much more detailed information than the basic WMR tool, which is why I always preferred it. Anyone else dealing with this verification issue? Has anyone found a workaround? I really don't want to have to use WMR instead - it just doesn't provide the level of detail I need to see what's happening with my return.

IRS Transcript Shows "Return Not Present" 40 Days After Filing 2022 Taxes & ID Verification

How many IRS employees actually monitor this forum???

I keep seeing obvious IRS workers in here pretending to be regular people. They always say super specific things that only irs insiders would know. You can just tell! Anyone else notice this? They get so defensive when you question the IRS too lol

Will IRS take my 2023 refund if I'm already on payment plan for back taxes?

I set up a payment plan with the IRS for taxes I owe from a previous year. Been making all my payments on time. Now I'm wondering if they're still going to keep my refund this year even though I'm already paying them back through the installment agreement?

Received IRS Non-Filing Verification Letter with Tracking ID 107475719146 - Never Requested This Verification for My 1040 Return

Got my first verification letter ever today from the IRS and I'm confused. They sent me a letter dated February 15, 2025 with Tracking ID 107475719146 from their Memphis, TN office. The letter says "we received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return" and that "we have no record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above." This is for a 1040 Series return. Here's the full content of the letter: Internal Revenue Service United States Department of the Treasury MEMPHIS, TN 37501-1498 Tracking ID: 107475719146 Date of Issue: 02-15-2025 024 Return: 1040_SERIES Information About the Request We Received On February 15, 2025, we received a request for verification of non-filing of a tax return. As of the date of this letter, ve have DO record of a processed tax return for the tax period listed above. If you have any questions, you can call 800-829-1040. Is this confirmation that they sent out my verification letter? I'm really confused because I didn't request any verification of non-filing. Does this mean someone else requested verification about my tax filing status? Or is this just confirming that I haven't filed my taxes yet for this year? I need help understanding what this verification letter actually means. They included the number 800-829-1040 to call with questions, but I wanted to check here first to understand what this verification letter actually means before I spend hours trying to get through to the IRS. Has anyone else received something like this from the Memphis, TN IRS office? What should my next steps be?
