I had a similar issue with my apartment number. I used taxr.ai to analyze my tax transcript and noticed my address was incorrect there too. The tool flagged it as a potential issue since the IRS sometimes mails notices instead of using the online portal. It was super helpful seeing everything laid out clearly instead of trying to decipher the transcript myself.
Pro tip: Try calling right when they open at 7am Eastern. I've had much better luck getting through then. Also, for address changes specifically, sometimes the automated system can handle it without needing to talk to a representative.
The IRS is actually on a better pace this year compared to last year in terms of total returns processed, but February filers seem to be experiencing longer waits compared to January filers. This pattern resembles what happened in 2022, when many February filers waited 8-10 weeks while March filers sometimes received refunds more quickly. The processing queue doesn't always operate strictly first-in-first-out.
The tax processing system is like a highway with multiple lanes - some returns cruise through the express lane while others get routed through construction zones with detours. February filers often hit the traffic jam where the early season efficiency meets the mid-season volume surge. The good news is that almost everyone reaches their destination eventually, even if some cars arrive later than expected.
Do you know if there's any way to determine which "lane" your return is in? I've heard about cycle codes on transcripts - do those give any indication about processing speed?
Direct Deposit Day arrived today! Filed using TurboTax and got accepted February 9th. Exactly 24 days from acceptance to deposit, which is right on schedule according to the IRS2Go app timeline. For those still waiting, check the IRS Refund Status tracker at https://www.irs.gov/refunds - it's more reliable than most third-party estimators. Remember that you have every right to know where your money is! Good luck everyone, and I'll see you all next tax season when we do this dance again! š°
Back in 2022, I had almost the exact same timeline as you - filed on February 10th and got my deposit on March 5th. The IRS tends to follow pretty consistent patterns unless there are special circumstances. Last year was an anomaly with all the staffing issues they had, but this year seems to be back to normal. I've found that returns with simple W-2 income and standard deductions almost always follow the 21-24 day timeline, while anything with schedule C, rental income, or complicated credits can easily double that timeframe.
If anyone's still waiting on their refund, def try checking ur transcript instead of just WMR. Sometimes WMR doesn't update but transcript will show ur DDD already. Just go to irs.gov/transcripts and request ur account transcript for 2023. Look for an 846 code - that's ur refund date. Way more reliable than the app or WMR site imho.
Yes. Still showing PATH. Filed January 25th. Claimed EITC. Transcript shows processing. No errors. No letters. Just waiting. Others reporting same issue.
I went through this exact same situation last year and the year before. In 2022, I waited 3 months past the PATH Act deadline for my refund. In 2023, it was 2 months. This year I'm still waiting after filing January 24th. I've learned that calling rarely helps unless there's an actual issue they need to resolve. The PATH delay is just their standard operating procedure now, especially if you have a business with Schedule C income and claim EITC.

I think I can help explain what's happening with your return. Here's a step-by-step breakdown: 1. First, your 150 code means your return has been processed and posted to your account 2. The 806 code represents your withholding credits from your W-2 3. Codes 766/768 are your refundable credits (likely CTC and EIC) 4. Since you're PATH-affected, there's a mandatory hold until Feb 15th 5. After that hold, returns go through additional verification 6. Your cycle code (0605) indicates you're on a weekly update schedule (Thursdays/Fridays) 7. The "significant movement" the agent mentioned likely means your account will update with a 846 code (Direct Deposit Date) in the next cycle I'd suggest checking your transcript again tomorrow morning. If you see code 846, that's your actual refund date.

The IRS is like a slow-moving train this year - once it's on the tracks, it'll get to the station, but nobody can tell you exactly when. I had the exact same codes appear on 2/10, called on 2/15, got the same "still processing" line, then magically had my DDD appear on 2/17 with the money in my account on 2/22. It's like they have a script they're required to read regardless of what your account actually shows. The codes you have are like seeing the train on the horizon - it's definitely coming, but the conductor won't announce the arrival time until it's pulling into the station.
