Your best bet is to get ahead of this. I recommend using taxr.ai to analyze your transcript - it'll tell you exactly what's triggering the audit and what documents you should start gathering. Way better than playing the waiting game trust
checking it out rn, anything beats this anxiety fr

Pro tip: document everything related to your kids living with you (school records, medical bills, etc). They might ask for proof later.

bruh i thought the same thing when i saw 766. got all excited thinking i hit the lottery or sumthing š¤£
Look at your 150 code - that's your total tax liability. Then the 766 and other credits reduce that amount. Whatever's left is what you get back. Its not extra money unfortunately
ty for breaking it down like that makes more sense now

protip: next year just pay upfront and save the $40 refund transfer fee. thats what i started doing
I'm in the same boat. Filed with TT too and these fees are killing me but needed my refund asap so had no choice š
Same here fam. We're all just trying to stay afloat šÆ

Pro tip: If you can't see your transcript updates online, call the tax advocate service. They can sometimes push things along faster after verification.

I've been checking the IRS "Where's My Refund" tool for my 2024 tax return. When I go to sa.www4.irs.gov and check my refund status, all I'm seeing is "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. For more information about processing delays, please see our Refund Frequently Asked Questions." The status shows my return as "Received" with a question mark next to it, but there's no "Approved" or "Refund Sent" status showing up yet - both of those also have question marks. I filed as Head of Household for Tax Year 2024 according to the "Your personal tax information" section at the bottom of the screen. I've been completely locked out of accessing my transcripts for years now, and I haven't received any letters from the IRS about this. The WMR tool just keeps showing the same message. They even note at the bottom that I should "continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go" and that "Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." Is this normal for anyone else? I keep checking multiple times but getting nowhere. I'm at the screen that says "Refund Status Results" with the three status indicators (Return Received, Refund Approved, Refund Sent) all with question marks. Anyone know if there's an actual issue or if this is just typical processing time? The IRS website menu shows I'm at "Home / Refunds / Refund Status / Results" but I'm not getting any actual results.
Have you tried calling the IRS to get your transcript access restored? Sometimes they can verify your identity over the phone.
been trying but cant get thru. Always says call volume too high lol

tbh the fact that you havent gotten any letters is actually a good sign! when theres a real problem they usually send something
facts šÆ no news is good news with the irs

Your gonna need to look at your cycle code too. If it ends in 05 your transcript updates weekly, if its 01-04 its daily updates.
