For those still waiting on DDD, check your transcript for TC 570/571 sequence. TC 570 indicates a temporary hold, while TC 571 shows the hold was released. If you see 570 without a subsequent 571, your return is still under review. Many February filers are experiencing TC 570 with a later TC 971 (Notice Issued). According to the Internal Revenue Manual section 21.5.6-4, this pattern typically resolves within 21 days of the 971 date code.
Has anyone tried comparing their "as of" date changes on their account transcript? It's like watching the weather forecast - sometimes it means a storm is coming, sometimes it means absolutely nothing. Anyone seeing their "as of" date jump forward and then actually get their refund shortly after?
I'm not sure two weeks is really enough time to be concerned. The IRS might say 21 days, but that's more of a guideline than a rule. Many returns with investment income get additional scrutiny. Have you considered that your capital gains might have triggered additional verification? Maybe your return is just in a queue waiting to be processed. The system isn't always transparent about these things.
But shouldn't my transcript at least show that they received my return? That's what's weird to me. It's like it disappeared into a black hole after TurboTax said it was accepted.
I've seen this happen dozens of times with investment income. Last year, I had a client with significant capital gains whose return didn't show up on transcripts for nearly three weeks. Then it suddenly appeared with all processing steps completed at once. The IRS batches certain types of returns for efficiency. Your timeline isn't unusual at all. Have you checked your Return Transcript specifically? Sometimes that updates before the Account Transcript does.
Just checked both transcripts again. Still nothing on either one. I guess I'll give it another week before really panicking. Thanks for sharing your experience - makes me feel a bit better knowing this happens regularly.
The address depends on whether you're including a payment or not. Unlike regular returns where you can just look up your state, amended returns have different routing: Without payment (Georgia resident): Internal Revenue Service Austin, TX 73301-0052 With payment (any state): Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 1214 Charlotte, NC 28201-1214 This is different from how regular returns are handled, where the address is purely state-based. If you recently divorced and changed your address, make sure your current address is clearly indicated on the 1040-X so any correspondence comes to the right place.
What about if you're expecting a refund from the amendment? Does that count as "without payment" and go to Austin? Or is there a third category for refund claims?
This is exactly what I needed! Was about to send mine to Kansas City based on outdated info. Saved me weeks of processing delay. Who knew tax geography could be so complicated? š
I successfully submitted my amended 1040-X for tax year 2023 last month from Atlanta. Used the Austin, TX address per the IRS instructions. The key was using certified mail with return receipt requested (USPS Form 3811). This provided me with definitive proof of delivery and receipt by the IRS. The tracking showed delivery within 4 business days. I appreciate everyone's input on this thread - extremely helpful for navigating post-divorce tax adjustments.
I literally just got my refund on my Serve Card this morning! My DD date was 3/6, and I was pulling my hair out waiting. I need this money for my car payment that's due on Monday. Called the Serve Card automated line about 20 times yesterday, and it kept saying "no pending deposits." Then at 6:17 AM today, I got the deposit notification. So it took 2 days after my official DD date. Hang in there - it's probably coming soon!
Be careful with these prepaid cards. According to IRS Publication 1345 regarding refund delivery, the IRS is only responsible for sending the refund to the financial institution. The timing of when funds are made available by the financial institution falls outside IRS jurisdiction. I had a terrible experience last year where my refund was delayed by 5 days on a similar card. The fine print in the Serve Card agreement states they can hold deposits for up to 5 business days for verification purposes. Check your cardholder agreement for the exact terms.

This means your return is in process. Not fully processed yet. System lag. Different databases update at different times. Acceptance just means they received it. Not that they processed it. Keep checking every few days.

The IRS began processing returns on January 29, 2024, and has been experiencing higher than normal volumes. Typically, transcript updates occur on Thursday nights/Friday mornings between 12am-6am EST. If you filed in February, you should see movement within the next cycle date. The "as of" date on your account transcript is often the most telling indicator of when your return will complete processing.
