Be careful with this situation. My transcript looked exactly like yours last year. Blank with only the 'as of' date changing. Turned out there was an identity verification issue. The IRS never contacted me. Six months went by. Finally called them directly. Had to verify my identity. Refund came three weeks later. Could have been resolved months earlier. Don't just wait indefinitely. Check for letters in mail. Consider proactive identity verification through ID.me. Better safe than sorry.

Have you tried checking the Where's My Refund tool instead of just the transcript? I filed exactly 27 days ago with 2 dependents, and my transcript was completely blank until yesterday. The WMR tool updated 3 days before my transcript did, showing the progress bar moving to the second stage. My refund was deposited exactly 29 days after filing, even though my transcript only updated completely the day before the deposit came through.

Tax professional here. Tax Topic 152 is simply informational and indicates you're due a refund. It's not specific to any credit or deduction. The marketplace insurance form (1095-A) requires additional processing because the IRS needs to verify the Premium Tax Credit information against what was reported by the marketplace. Have you checked your tax transcript on the IRS website? That would give us a much clearer picture of what's happening with your return. Also, when you say "accepted" - is that what the IRS Where's My Refund tool shows, or just what Cash App is telling you?

I filed on January 24th with marketplace insurance and had exactly the same situation. My transcript showed no movement for exactly 21 days, then suddenly updated with a direct deposit date. The refund hit my account 2 days later on February 16th at 3:27am. The 1095-A processing adds time but doesn't mean anything is wrong. Based on the last three years of filing with marketplace insurance, my refunds have taken 21, 19, and 21 days respectively from acceptance to deposit. It's like clockwork once you know what to expect.

Honestly, the IRS timelines are meaningless this year. They keep saying "21 days for most refunds" but I've seen people who filed in January still waiting while others who filed in mid-February already got their DDD. The Refund Cycle Chart used to be reliable but seems completely irrelevant for Tax Year 2023 processing.

I believe the current processing timeframe is approximately 21-25 days for most standard returns, though this can certainly vary based on several factors. If you claimed the Child Tax Credit, there may be additional verification processes that could potentially extend this timeline somewhat. In my experience, returns with a single dependent that don't have other complicating factors typically process within the standard window, assuming there were no flags raised during the initial review.

I was in this exact situation last year. According to IRS Publication 1345 (which outlines refund timing), the PATH Act restriction officially lifts on February 15th each year, but processing doesn't happen instantaneously for everyone. I waited 6 days after the PATH lift before getting my DDD, and the money hit my account 5 days after that. I'm a little worried the same will happen this year, but at least now I know what to expect.

FYI - the weekly cycles aren't as rigid as ppl think. IRS has been updating DDDs almost daily for some filers. PATH just means they couldn't issue refunds before mid-Feb, but they've been processing returns this whole time. Check your transcript for cycle code - if it ends in 05, you're def weekly. Your DDD could come tonight but more likely Fri. Don't stress too much, the $ is coming!

There are several reasons SBTPG can't find your info: • PATH Act delays mean IRS hasn't released funds yet • SBTPG only receives data after IRS approval • System synchronization between IRS and SBTPG takes 24-48 hours • Bank holiday delays can impact processing timeframes I wouldn't trust SBTPG's system for accurate status updates. Their database only updates after receiving confirmation from Treasury Direct, and they're notoriously slow with their status portal. Checking WMR or your transcript directly will give you more accurate information.

I filed on January 26th and was in the exact same situation. My SBTPG showed nothing until February 23rd, and then suddenly updated with all my information. Got my refund on February 25th. The PATH Act delay is real - they legally cannot process certain refunds until after February 15th, and then there's still processing time after that date.
