I just checked my IRS account at 10:31 and noticed it's working again after showing unavailable earlier. Looking at my Account Balance page, it's showing a Total Amount Owed of $0.00 for tax years 2022-2024. I can see it clearly on the screen that says "Account Home / Account Balance" with "Total Amount Owed $0.00" right underneath it. The system does include a note that "The information provided is based on our current data" and mentions that the numbers may not reflect: - Recently filed or processing returns - Pending payments or adjustments - Information on your business account - Installment agreement fees When I scroll down to the "Details By Year" section, it shows each tax year individually: Tax Year: 2024 - You Owe: $0.00 Tax Year: 2023 - You Owe: $0.00 Tax Year: 2022 - You Owe: $0.00 I accessed this through the IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov) where I can see the IRS menu and my account information. There's also a "Make a payment" option and "Frequently Asked Questions About Balances" section on the page. Does anyone know if this means they're starting to process returns now? I'm particularly interested since the system is back up and showing these zero balances across all years. Is it normal to see $0.00 for all years if they haven't started processing my return yet, or does this mean something else?
The IRS is playing games with us I swear. One day its working, next day its not smh
its like they dont want us to know whats going on fr

Maintenance usually means their updating something in the system. Maybe theyre finally processing our returns š

Check your transcript for cycle codes - those are way more important than the as of date tbh
where do i find the cycle codes?
25d
look at the numbers on the left side of ur transcript entries. first 2 digits are the cycle week

My offset took exactly 5 weeks to show up on Ohio's website last year. The system is slow af but it'll get there
word of advice - screenshot everything and save your offset notice. Ohio lost my payment last year and I had to prove it got sent š
thanks for the tip! definitely gonna do that

Pro tip: take pictures of all your docs before sending anything in. IRS lost my stuff twice smh
THIS! They lost my whole packet and had to start over š¤®

The IRS and state tax systems are such a mess rn istg š¤® been waiting 3 months for mine
ur preaching to the choir bestie š

Happened to me last year! The trick is to take screenshots of EVERYTHING during the verification process. Time stamps, confirmation numbers, all of it. Had to fax it all to prove I did it.
wish i knew this before ughhh. where did u fax it to?
1M
I'll DM you the fax number. Keep trying fam, you'll get through this mess eventually!

Pro tip: After you verify online, wait 48 hours then call to confirm they got it. Don't assume its working just bc you got a confirmation page
Pro tip: screenshot everything! Some state portals are notorious for showing different info when you log back in later
Been doing taxes for 15 years and still sometimes get tripped up by state websites tbh. Your best bet is to either call them directly (prepare for a longgg wait) or use an automated transcript reader like taxr.ai - saves so much time trying to decode everything yourself
thank u! gonna check out that website, anything is better than sitting on hold with the state for 2 hours š
