Back in 2022, I had this exact same situation. Filed in January, transcript showed N/A for weeks. Everything was perfectly fine. The IRS processing centers get overwhelmed at the beginning of tax season. Your return is probably sitting in a digital queue waiting to be processed. As long as you received an acceptance confirmation, you're in their system.
I always prepare for this waiting game every year! Last year I filed on January 21st and didn't see transcript updates until February 18th. Then suddenly everything updated at once! My sister-in-law filed on February 3rd and got her refund before me. The IRS works in mysterious ways. Just make sure you have all your documentation organized in case they request anything.
I'm going through this exact same thing right now and I'm so stressed about it! π« I repaid about $4,200 in unemployment from 2023 but my 1099-G shows the full amount and I'm terrified I'm going to get audited if I don't report it correctly. I called my state's unemployment office THREE times and got different answers each time about how to handle it on my taxes. One person said I'd get an amended 1099-G (never came), another said to just report the difference, and a third said to report it all as income and then deduct it. I'm literally losing sleep over this!
Have you contacted your state unemployment office to request a corrected 1099-G? Some states will issue a corrected form that shows the net amount after repayment, which would make this much simpler. If they won't do that, did they provide any documentation of your repayment that you could include with your tax return? Also, how much did you repay - was it the entire amount or just a portion?
Hey tax pros - need some advice here. Filed on 01/30 w/ TurboTax and still zero updates on anything. Got 3 kiddos total, but this yr is my first claiming my son (his dad & I alternate yrs per our agreement). I've checked WMR daily, transcripts twice weekly, and even verified my ID through [ID.me](http://ID.me) just in case. My AGI is ~120k, so I'm not eligible for EITC, just standard CTC. Already double-checked all SSNs, DOBs, and filing status details. Any ideas why it's taking so long? Processing times seem way off compared to prev yrs. TIA for any insight!
The IRS has special verification procedures for alternating dependents. This is normal. They're preventing fraud. Their systems flag these returns automatically. Manual review takes time. Your return isn't lost. It's in a special processing queue. No need to worry yet. The 2023 processing timeline is longer than usual. Many first-time dependent claims take 8-10 weeks. Keep checking your transcript weekly. Look for code 570 or 971 to appear. That means verification has started.
Welcome to the wonderful world of IRS dependent verification! π I'm in the same boat (filed 2/2, alternating custody with ex). From what I've gathered lurking on this sub, returns with first-time dependent claims or alternating dependents are taking 8-12 weeks this season. The good news is that the vast majority process without requiring any additional documentation. The bad news is there's not much we can do except wait it out. I've seen several posts from people in our situation who suddenly got their DDD after 9+ weeks with zero prior updates. Hang in there!
I had something similar happen last year and it turned into a NIGHTMARE. Started just like yours - weird transcript with mixed year info. Ended up waiting 11 months for my refund because my return got flagged for identity verification but they never sent the letter! I only found out when I called in July. Not trying to scare you, but if you don't see movement in the next week or two, be proactive and call them. Don't assume it's normal processing like I did!
Tax professional here. What you're seeing is the Account Transcript for 2022 showing correctly that you didn't file a 2022 return yet (if you don't need to file for 2022, that's fine). The 2023 transcript shows N/A because it hasn't been fully processed into the transcript system yet. This is completely normal for returns filed in January, especially with the PATH Act delays if you claimed certain credits. As long as WMR shows 'received,' you're fine. Give it another week or two.

When my mom passed last year, I was in a similar situation with needing my refund for funeral costs. After weeks of trying to reach someone at the IRS with no luck, I used Claimyr.com to get through to an agent in about 15 minutes. They were able to expedite my refund due to hardship. Sometimes just getting a human on the phone makes all the difference when you're dealing with something urgent. Glad you found the help you needed here!

β’I've seen Claimyr mentioned a few times here. Does it really work? I've been calling for days and can't get through.

β’100% worth it in my situation. I had spent literally days trying to get through on my own. Claimyr had me connected to an actual IRS agent in minutes. When you're dealing with something time-sensitive like I was, the service pays for itself.

This community helped me figure out my offset issues last year too. The regular IRS phone lines are basically useless during tax season, but someone here pointed me to the right department to call. Got my issue resolved in one call instead of weeks of runaround. Congrats on your refund!
