The WMR tool is notoriously unreliable during peak filing season. Here's what's likely happening: 1. Your return was accepted into the IRS system initially 2. It moved into a different processing queue 3. The WMR database temporarily lost connection to your return data 4. The system shows "information doesn't match" as a default error This happens to thousands of people every year. It's frustrating but usually not a sign of problems with your actual return. The IRS has multiple internal systems that don't always communicate well with each other. Most returns with this issue still process normally and refunds arrive on time. Just keep checking every few days.

OMG this EXACT thing happened to me last week!!! 😡 I was tracking my refund just fine for about 10 days and then suddenly "information doesn't match" errors! I was freaking out thinking they lost my return or something. I researched extensively and found that the WMR tool has significant technical limitations - it can only handle a certain number of queries before starting to give errors, especially during peak filing season. I waited 4 more days without checking, then tried again with the EXACT same information and it suddenly worked again! My return had progressed to the second bar by then. Sometimes the system just needs a break from being checked too frequently. Try waiting 3-4 days before checking again.

Tbh I don't trust those 'as of' dates at all. Mine changed 4x during processing last yr and meant absolutely nothing! The IRS systems are so outdated they barely talk to each other. Sometimes the WMR tool shows nothing while your $ is already being sent to your bank. I'd just wait it out - checking obsessively won't make it process any faster (learned that the hard way lol).

I'm actually feeling optimistic about your situation! The as-of date change is DEFINITELY a positive sign that your return is actively moving through the processing pipeline. I've analyzed hundreds of these cases in my work, and this pattern typically indicates successful identity verification integration with your return. The blank transcript is frustrating, I know, but completely normal during this transitional phase as your return moves from verification to standard processing!

This happens almost every year with prepaid cards during peak refund season. The IRS typically releases funds in batches, and financial institutions process them according to their own schedules. Most MoneyCard users should see deposits appear within 24 hours of the official date. If you don't see anything by Thursday morning, then there might be an actual issue worth investigating.

FYI - WMT cards usually post tax refunds overnight between 12-3am. Had same issue last yr w/ my DDD. Nothing all day, then boom - $ there next AM. Their system runs batch processing overnight. Cust svc won't see pending deposits til they clear. Dw too much yet - give it til tmrw AM before panicking. If nothing by noon tmrw, def call the # on back of card.

Has either of you completed Form 8332 (Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent) in previous years? According to Regulation 1.152-4, the custodial parent can release their claim to the non-custodial parent, but this must be done formally with the proper documentation. If you've signed this form in the past, it could affect your current situation.

Be careful with this! On February 12th last year, my ex claimed our child without telling me, even though our daughter had been living with me since September 2022. When I filed on March 3rd, my return was rejected. I had to file by paper, and it took until June 17th to get my refund. The IRS actually audited both of us, and we had to provide extensive documentation. Make sure you file as early as possible this year - like January 29th when they start accepting returns.

Looking at your timeline, this is definitely unusual even with IRS delays. I'd recommend pulling your tax transcripts online to see what's actually happening with your return. You can get them instantly at irs.gov/transcripts. If you need help understanding what the transcript codes mean, I used https://taxr.ai to analyze mine when I was in a similar situation. It explained all the weird codes and gave me a clear picture of what was happening and what to expect next. Way better than trying to Google each code individually.

This happened to me too! The IRS has been severely backlogged since COVID, and some returns from previous years are still stuck in processing. Here's what worked for me: 1. Contact your local congressional representative's office - they have caseworkers who can inquire about your refund through special channels 2. File Form 911 (Taxpayer Advocate Service) if you're experiencing financial hardship 3. Request your Wage and Income transcript and Account transcript online And yes, definitely file your 2023 return on time. The systems are separate, and not filing will only create penalties.
