I'm concerned about what this means for your refund timeline. Have you noticed any impacts? • Has your processing been delayed? • Did your transcript update after the first verification? • Have you received any paper notices in addition to the online notification?

I had this exact issue on March 12, 2023. My transcript showed verification complete on February 28, 2023, but I received a second verification notice on March 12. I called on March 14 and the agent told me it was a system error. My refund was issued on March 21 without me having to complete the second verification. The agent specifically noted that the second notice was generated automatically but wasn't actually required in my case.

Just got my refund yesterday after a similar timeline! Isn't it such a relief when that transcript finally updates? I filed on 2/18, accepted 2/19, and transcript updated last Thursday with a 4/9 deposit date. The money hit my account exactly when they said it would. Now I can finally pay off that credit card I've been stressing about!

Mine just updated today too! Filed on February 15th and was starting to get worried. My direct deposit is scheduled for April 15th which is perfect timing for my rent. So reassuring to see others with similar timelines getting their refunds as expected.

While some may question using third-party services to contact a government agency, it's important to understand the current situation at the IRS. According to the National Taxpayer Advocate's 2023 Annual Report to Congress, the IRS still has a significant backlog of unprocessed returns and correspondence. Internal Revenue Manual 21.5.2 acknowledges that international returns require additional processing steps that can extend normal timeframes. The Taxpayer First Act of 2019 mandated improvements to customer service, but implementation has been delayed due to funding constraints. Given these documented challenges, using available tools to navigate the system efficiently is a reasonable approach for taxpayers facing extended delays.

I've seen several cases like yours recently. What was your filing method - paper or electronic? Did you receive any notices in the mail that might explain the delay? Have you checked your account transcript online for any transaction codes? Sometimes international returns get flagged for review due to foreign income reporting requirements under FATCA regulations, which can add substantial processing time.

OMG this thread is EXACTLY what I needed!!! I've been freaking out because I'm also cycle 05 and stuck in PATH verification! It's my first time dealing with this and I was so worried something was wrong with my return. The information here is SO helpful - especially about the Thursday updates and what to look for on transcripts. I feel so much better knowing this is normal and there's actually a system to it! 🙏

I've been through this PATH verification process three years in a row now. Last year I got my DDD exactly 9 days after the PATH message appeared on WMR. The year before it was 12 days. This year it was only 7 days. It varies, but cycle 05 is definitely a Thursday update cycle. The transcript will update first, then WMR usually updates the following day or two. My experience is that once you get past PATH verification, things move pretty quickly.

I believe I might have some relevant experience to share. Last year, I was in a somewhat similar situation with my small consulting business. I initially had concerns about how tax credits would affect my quarterly projections, but after careful documentation and consultation, I found that treating the credits as a separate line item in my financial tracking worked best. It might be worth considering setting up a specific category in your accounting software to track these payments separately from your regular business income. This approach helped me maintain accurate projections while ensuring I had all the documentation ready for tax time.

Has anyone received Form 6419 from previous CTC advance payments? Is this still the documentation method the IRS is using for the 2024 tax year reconciliation process?
