The TC 152 on WMR is actually a Transaction Code indicating normal processing. Your return is likely in the Return Processing Pipeline (RPP) but hasn't yet reached the Transcript Database Integration (TDI) phase. This is a normal sequence during peak filing season when the IRS is processing high volumes. Have you verified that your e-file was accepted with a formal acknowledgment code? That's the most critical confirmation at this stage.

Maybe try checking your Account transcript instead of your Return transcript? Sometimes the Account transcript will update first and show that your return was received, even when the Return transcript still says N/A. It might be worth a look, if you haven't tried that already. I think a lot of us get anxious during tax season, especially when we're counting on that refund.

I think we need to cut the IRS some slack on the website issues. Based on my experience filing for the past 15 years, their systems always get overloaded during peak filing season. Last year, I remember three separate outages between February and April. The year before that, their Where's My Refund tool was giving incorrect information for days. I've learned to always have contingency plans for accessing my tax information, including requesting transcripts by mail if necessary.

Filed 2/1, had blank transcripts until yesterday, refund hit my acct this AM! Don't panic - system's working, just slow af. Checked WMR daily but it never updated past first bar. Transcript went from N/A to fully processed overnight. DDD was 2/28, deposit arrived 2/28. Hang tight!

Has anyone received their refund who claimed both EITC and Child Tax Credit? Are those being processed at the same time, or is there a separate queue for different credit combinations? What about if you have a prior year return still processing?

I just checked my transcript this morning (February 12th, 2024) and I already see processing codes even though PATH hasn't lifted yet. My cycle date shows 20240805, which means I'm on the weekly cycle. Called the IRS on January 30th and they confirmed my return was accepted and queued for processing on February 15th. Just checked my bank account 20 minutes ago and my refund hit! $6,843 direct deposited exactly as scheduled on my transcript. So relieved as we're using it for a down payment on March 1st.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is that you can request an installment agreement with Michigan directly. Under their Fresh Start initiative (similar to the IRS program), taxpayers with balances under $5,000 can often qualify for streamlined installment agreements with minimal documentation requirements. This would allow you to keep your federal refund intact while addressing the state liability over time. The interest rate Michigan charges (currently 5.65% annually) is often lower than credit card rates, making this a potentially viable option if you need the refund for other purposes.

From my experience with a similar situation, here's what typically happens compared to other scenarios: 1. State tax debts move slower than federal ones 2. Michigan typically sends 3-4 notices before taking serious collection action 3. You usually have 30-60 days to respond to each notice 4. The certification to TOP (for federal refund offset) usually happens after 90+ days of non-response 5. Setting up even a minimal payment plan stops the certification process Compared to IRS collections which can move quickly, state tax authorities often have longer timelines but fewer payment options. Your summer vacation plans for July should be fine if you address this now, even if it's just setting up a payment plan.

According to the California FTB website (https://www.ftb.ca.gov/refund/index.asp), refund processing times are currently running about 2-3 weeks for e-filed returns. Since yours was accepted on February 11th, you're right in that window now. The 2025 date is almost certainly a display error - I've seen multiple reports of this on r/tax and other forums. No state tax agency schedules refunds a year out.

Have you checked if your bank information was entered correctly? Could there be an issue with routing or account numbers? Is it possible the refund was offset for any outstanding state debts? These are the common reasons refunds don't arrive as expected, even when the system shows funded. The year showing 2025 is definitely wrong though - I've seen this happen multiple times with California's system.
