I logged in today and can see all my 2024 transcripts including the Return Transcript [PDF] EN, but the 2024 Account Transcript [PDF] EN is still completely blank. This is really confusing me since I need to track my refund status. When I log into sa.www4.irs.gov, I can clearly see both the Account Transcripts and Return Transcripts sections. Under "Account Transcripts" which shows "changes you or the IRS made after the original return was filed, such as making estimated tax payments or filing an amended return," I can see all these available transcripts: 2024 Account Transcript [PDF] EN 2023 Account Transcript [PDF] EN 2021 Account Transcript [PDF] EN 2020 Account Transcript [PDF] EN The issue is that while I can click on all of them, the 2024 one opens to a completely blank document. The other years (2023, 2021, and 2020) all display properly when I open them. In the "Return Transcripts" section, which states "These transcripts show most line items from your Form 1040-series tax return as it was originally filed, including associated forms and schedules. Lending institutions offering mortgages often accept return transcripts," I can access: 2024 Return Transcript [PDF] EN 2023 Return Transcript [PDF] EN And these open just fine - I can see all my tax return information as filed. I'm specifically waiting to see the 846 code appear in my Account Transcript which would indicate my refund has been issued, but nothing is showing up because the entire 2024 Account Transcript is blank. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this normal while waiting for processing, or should I be concerned? I really need to track when my refund will be coming.

I just got a text message from a number claiming to be the IRS saying "You are eligible to receive a $1,400 Economic Impact Payment." The message asks me to "provide accurate personal information" and claims they'll "deposit the amount into your bank account or mail a paper check within 1 to 2 business days." The text came from someone named "youdede_weifangjiu_weihaoteng_1" and includes a link to "irs.gov.instruc-tax.com". They want me to reply "Y" and then reopen the message to click the link or copy it into Safari. Here's the full text of the message I received at 5:37PM (my battery was at 68%): "Internal Revenue Service (IRS) You are eligible to receive a $1,400 Economic Impact Payment. Please provide your accurate personal information. We will deposit the amount into your bank account or mail a paper check within 1 to 2 business days. https://www.irs.gov.instruc-tax.com (Please reply with "Y," then exit the text message. Open it again, click the link, or copy it into your Safari browser and open it.)" I tried clicking but couldn't get it to work. Something seems off about this but wanted to check if others have received similar messages about Economic Impact Payments. The weird username, the strange instructions about exiting and reopening the message, and especially that suspicious URL that looks like it's trying to appear official but isn't actually an irs.gov domain - all red flags to me. Has anyone else gotten texts like this recently? Should I report this somewhere?

I just received a Notice of Change in Tax Return from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, signed by Commissioner Geoffrey E. Snyder, regarding my 2024 Personal Income Tax Return. The notice has "THIS IS NOT A BILL" printed at the top. According to the notice, they've adjusted my Personal Income Tax Return for the tax period December 31, 2024. They claim they're required to issue this notice to let me know about adjustments made during their review process. The Department of Revenue is saying they adjusted my return and found unreported income with the following "Line Item Adjustments" in the "adjusted amount" column: - 8a. Unemployment compensation: $6,423.00 - 8b. Massachusetts state lottery winnings: $1,000.00 - 37. Income tax after credits, contributions, use tax and HC penalty: $1,692.00 The notice explains that "Total Income Tax has increased" under "Return Adjustment Reasons." I'm really confused because I definitely didn't win any lottery money last year, and that unemployment amount doesn't seem right either. The notice then says under "What should I do?" that I should: - Review the changes by comparing the adjustment(s) shown to my original return - If I agree with the adjusted amounts, no further action is required at this time - If I owe tax, they'll send a bill called a Notice of Assessment, and I may pay online at mass.gov/masstaxconnect before receiving the Notice of Assessment - If I disagree with the adjustment(s) to my original return and believe my original return was correct, I can respond online by visiting mass.gov/masstaxconnect, going to Quick Links, clicking on "Submit documentation" and entering the Letter ID from the upper right-hand corner of the notice. Then I should attach a statement explaining my position along with supporting documentation. Under "What happens if I don't respond?", the notice states: - If I don't respond, they'll assume I agree with the information in the notice - If there is a balance due, I'll receive a Notice of Assessment, and additional interest and penalty charges will accrue until the total amount owed is paid - If no tax is owed, this notice will serve as my Notice of Assessment - If I have overpaid, I'll receive a refund if my refund request was timely and no other tax is owed But I know these numbers aren't correct - I never had any lottery winnings and the unemployment amount seems wrong. Should I respond through their website like they suggest or handle this another way? What kind of documentation should I provide to dispute these incorrect adjustments?
