What cycle code are you? I'm 05 and transcript updated last night but no deposit yet 😩

I'm with Capital One! Filed on 2/2, accepted same day. Had path act credits so had to wait until after 2/15 for them to even look at my return. Cycle code 20240705. Hope everyone else sees theirs soon!

According to the IRS website (specifically Publication 2194, Disaster Resource Guide), disaster freezes are part of their relief efforts for affected taxpayers. The IRS.gov disaster relief page lists all current qualifying disasters by state and county. You should definitely check if your area is listed there. If you're not in a disaster area, they can remove the freeze immediately, but you need to speak with someone in the right department who has the authority to do so.

After you get this resolved, make sure to request an account transcript about 2 weeks later. You want to confirm the freeze was actually removed, right? Sometimes these disaster codes don't get properly cleared from the system. If you see any 570 or 971 codes still on your transcript after they said they'd remove the freeze, you'll need to call back. Wouldn't you rather check than have to deal with unexpected delays later?

My DDD is 3/14 and I'm still waiting. Filed through TT too but using a credit union. Did you have any issues with your return or was it pretty straightforward?

Been trying to reach the IRS for 3 days to check on my refund status since my WMR isn't updating and I'm getting nowhere. Just endless hold times or disconnects. Anyone know a better way to reach them?

Try calling the dedicated Examination department instead of waiting. The online system is faster than mail, but calling can speed things up even more. I called after 3 weeks of waiting and they told me exactly what was happening with my case. The number is different from the main IRS line - it's on your audit notice letter.

Be careful with the online upload system! Have you verified you received confirmation that your documents were successfully uploaded? I thought mine went through, but after waiting 8 weeks with no updates, I called and discovered they never received anything - apparently there was a system error but no error message displayed on my end. Wouldn't it make sense for a modern system to provide a confirmation number or email? Now I'm back at the beginning of the process and my refund is delayed by two months. Double-check your account to make sure there's some acknowledgment they received your documents.

IMO the IRS is just using generic msgs to buy time. Been thru this rodeo b4 and the "delayed" status doesn't mean much tbh. Last yr my return had the same msg for like 7 wks then suddenly approved w/o any contact from IRS. Ppl need to chill and stop checking WMR every 5 mins (guilty lol). The system is overwhelmed AF and they're prob just triaging returns based on complexity not errors per se.

The whole IRS processing system is like a giant funnel with different sized filters. Your return is like water flowing through - some passes right through (quick refunds), some gets caught in different filters (verification stages), but only a small percentage actually gets diverted to the special container (errors department). It's like how my bank flags certain transactions for "review" but 99% still process normally after a short delay. I'm concerned though - does anyone know if these delays could affect other financial processes like mortgage applications where they need to verify your tax info?
