Just wanted to share my success story - had the exact same situation with Credit Karma filing and TT line vs WMR discrepancy. I verified my AGI matched exactly between years and ensured my Routing/Account numbers were input correctly. The return hit my account 4 days after the TT line went solid, despite WMR never showing bars. The Transaction Code 846 is what you want to look for on your transcript - that's the Direct Deposit authorization code.
Have you tried checking your account transcript instead of just the TT line? It's like looking at the engine instead of just the dashboard lights. Sometimes the account transcript will show a pending 846 code (refund issued) even when WMR is completely blank. The IRS systems are like an old house with new additions - sometimes the wiring doesn't connect properly between the old and new parts.
FINALLY some good news on this sub!!! I've been stuck in processing hell for 42 days now and was starting to lose my mind! š« So frustrating that the IRS can't just be transparent about these delays! Why do they make us guess what's happening?! Your post gives me hope that maybe, just MAYBE, I'll see movement soon too. This waiting game is absolutely BRUTAL when you're counting on that money!
Did you have any credits on your return? Last year I had a similar timeline but I claimed the Child Tax Credit. The year before that I had a simple return with no credits and it processed in just 14 days. I'm wondering if the tax topic disappearing is specifically related to certain credits being verified.
Think of the IRS systems like different branches of government that don't talk to each other very well. Your phone verification is like getting approval from the State Department while the online system is like the DMV still asking for your paperwork. If you want to get this resolved quickly instead of waiting for their systems to catch up, I'd recommend using Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). It's like having a fast-pass at an amusement park - gets you through to an IRS agent without the hours of hold time. I was dealing with a similar verification issue last month and spent 3 days trying to get through on my own. Used Claimyr and was talking to someone in about 15 minutes who confirmed my verification was complete and flagged the online notification as erroneous in their system.
Isn't it amazing how the IRS can demand we submit everything correctly and on time, but their own systems can't communicate with each other properly? One alternative approach: log in to your IRS online account and check your account transcript rather than just the dashboard. Does your transcript show any TC 570 followed by a TC 571 code? That sequence typically indicates verification issues that were subsequently resolved. Also, have you checked your refund status through the Where's My Refund tool? Sometimes that will show processing even when the online account still shows verification needed. The IRS digital infrastructure was designed in the stone age and upgraded with duct tape and wishful thinking.
Ever tried calling the IRS directly about your return status? I was in the same boat with TaxAct last month, and after getting frustrated with the lack of updates, I used Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) to get through to an actual IRS agent. Why wait for weeks in uncertainty when you can talk to someone who can see exactly what's happening with your return? I was connected within 25 minutes instead of spending hours on hold or getting disconnected.
I've used TaxAct for exactly 7 tax seasons now. This year I filed on January 31st, 2024 and received my refund on February 21st, so it took 21 days precisely. Last year it took 18 days, and the year before that it was 24 days. From my experience, TaxAct itself doesn't affect processing time - it's more about when you file, what credits you claim, and whether your return gets selected for additional review. The software is just the messenger.

I've been stuck on N/A for over a month now. Called the IRS six times and couldn't get through. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get past the busy signals - connected to an agent in about 15 minutes. Found out my return was just sitting in a backlog and needed manual review because of a small discrepancy with my W-2. They fixed it while I was on the phone and said I should see movement within a week.

ā¢OMG I was considering calling too! The anxiety of not knowing what's happening is the worst part. I might try that service next time instead of just refreshing WMR like a crazy person š

ā¢Definitely worth it! I spent hours trying to get through on my own before using them. The peace of mind from actually talking to someone who could help was worth every penny.

What's your DDD date? Is it actually 3/1 or 3/6? Sometimes people read the transcript wrong and the 846 code date isn't always the actual deposit date.

ā¢It says 03-01-2024 next to code 846! I double checked like 5 times lol. Should hit my bank account Friday! š
