After experiencing cycle code 20240805, transcript code 570, and WMR status "still processing" for 38 days, I finally decided to contact the IRS directly. Used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to bypass the hold time and got connected to an agent in about 15 minutes! Such a relief to finally speak with someone who confirmed my return was just in normal processing with no issues. They said to expect my DDD within 7-10 days, and sure enough, my transcript updated the next day!
Check the IRS2Go app right now! They just did a major update at 3am EST according to the r/IRS megathread. Many people with filing dates between 2/10-2/20 are seeing movement today. The tool updates overnight so what you saw this morning might already be outdated. www.irs.gov/refunds shows exactly when the next big update is scheduled.
If you need immediate clarification about your specific refund timeline, calling the IRS directly is your best option. I've had success using Claimyr to get through to an agent quickly. Their service connects you to an IRS representative without the typical hold times. The agent can confirm exactly when your funds were or will be released to your bank. Check them out at https://claimyr.com if you're tired of waiting on hold.
I've found alternative ways to track SBPTG processing: ⢠Join the SBTPG Facebook group where people post real-time updates ⢠Call your bank's automated system for pending deposits ⢠Check the IRS2Go app for status changes ⢠Monitor the Where's My Refund tool for the final confirmation Must say I'm impressed with how methodically you're approaching this. Most people just check WMR and get frustrated.
Holy tax code, Batman! š¦ I had NO idea this was a thing! Been sitting here for 3 weeks refreshing WMR like it's social media. Called this morning after seeing this post and guess what? Yep, needed to verify! The agent said they don't even send notices about this anymore. Just quietly hold your refund hostage until you call them. Tax season: 10/10 for drama, 0/10 for communication.
While verification can resolve some cases, be aware that calling can sometimes create additional delays. In the 2023 filing season, I observed multiple instances where taxpayers who called unnecessarily had their returns flagged for additional review due to the contact. The IRS authentication protocols sometimes trigger secondary reviews when verification is attempted for returns not actually requiring it. Proceed with caution and only call if your return has been in processing status for more than 21 days.
Before spending money on services or wasting hours on hold, try these steps: 1. Pull your transcript from irs.gov/transcripts (account transcript, not return transcript) 2. Look for specific codes - 570 means hold, 971 means notice issued 3. Check if any letters were sent to your address of record 4. If no codes indicate issues, call the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040 5. Call exactly at 7am Eastern time when they open 6. If that fails after 3-4 attempts, then consider paid options I'm generally skeptical of paying for something you can do yourself, but sometimes the time saved is worth it if you've tried the free options first.
I just got my refund yesterday after filing February 18th. No explanation for the delay, no special codes on my transcript, it just randomly processed after sitting for 7 weeks. Did you claim any credits? Have any marketplace insurance? File a schedule C? These can all trigger additional review. But honestly, sometimes it's just random which returns get stuck in their system. Don't they know people actually need their money?

I had exactly the same issue last year and waited exactly 9 days with my money already in my account but WMR still showing processing. I tried calling the IRS to make sure everything was actually finalized (was worried they might take the money back!) but couldn't get through after 127 minutes on hold. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got connected to an agent in 18 minutes who confirmed everything was complete on their end and the WMR tool just hadn't caught up yet. Saved me hours of waiting and worrying about whether my case was actually closed.

ā¢Did you have to pay for that service? I'm feeling anxious about my refund status too, but I'm not sure about paying for something when I could just keep trying to call for free. Was it really worth it?

ā¢Not the original commenter, but I've used Claimyr twice and it was 100% worth it. Think about how much your time is worth - spending hours redailing vs getting through in minutes. Plus the peace of mind knowing exactly what's happening with your money!

WMR is notoriously unreliable during peak filing season. Many taxpayers experience this disconnect between actual deposit and status updates. Always verify deposit dates on your transcript (cycle code 20240905) rather than relying on WMR. The IRS prioritizes payment processing over status updates. Check your account transcript for TC 846 code - that's your actual refund issued confirmation. The status tool is simply the last priority in their workflow.
