When this happened to me, I spent 3 days trying to get through to the IRS on their regular number. Complete waste of time. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) to get through to an agent in about 30 minutes. The agent told me exactly what was flagged in my return and I was able to resolve it that same day by faxing one document. Saved me weeks of anxiety and waiting.
Thank you! I've been trying to call but keep getting disconnected. Might try this service if I don't hear anything by next week.
Definitely worth it. Just make sure you have your tax return and any notices handy when you call. The agents can usually tell you exactly what's happening rather than the vague online messages.
Check your transcript online if you can. It often shows more detailed information than WMR. Look for specific codes like 570/971 which indicate what type of review they're doing.
I tried but can't access my transcript online because I don't have a credit card or loan for verification. So frustrating!

OMG I'm in the EXACT same boat!!! Filed on January 29th and STILL waiting! Called yesterday and they told me it could be ANOTHER 60 DAYS!!! I have bills due NOW! This is absolutely INSANE! The deadline for us to file is strict but they can take FOREVER to process?! 😤😤😤 If I owed them money they'd be charging me interest and penalties already!
This delay is actually shorter than what many people are experiencing with amended returns. Standard processing is running about 10-18 weeks compared to amended returns taking 6-8 months in some cases. The error correction queue moves faster than the manual review queue, at least based on what I've seen across different tax situations.
Shorter than amended returns? Is that supposed to make anyone feel better? Why can't the IRS just process returns correctly in the first place? Why do we accept this level of incompetence from a government agency? My state refund came in 8 days, but federal takes months?
Has anyone checked the IRS2Go app for updates? Sometimes the app shows different information than the Where's My Refund website. I've also found that checking your tax transcript on IRS.gov can show processing stages that aren't visible on WMR.

I'm concerned about what I'm seeing with WV processing compared to previous years. In 2023, my return with dependents processed in 18 days. This year, I'm at 37 days and counting. My colleague in Maryland filed the same day with similar credits and received his refund two weeks ago. Another colleague in Pennsylvania filed a week after me and already received hers. This suggests regional disparities in processing efficiency that could disadvantage WV filers if the trend continues into future tax seasons.
Has anyone else noticed that WV filers who claimed exactly two dependents seem to be getting processed faster? Or is that just coincidence in my social circle? And why does the IRS never acknowledge these regional patterns when they clearly exist? Wouldn't it be more transparent to just say 'Hey, if you're in these states, expect X timeframe' instead of the generic '21 days' that rarely applies to anyone with dependents?

Are you claiming any credits like Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Credit? Those automatically get additional scrutiny and can delay processing by 4-6 weeks. Also, did you have any marketplace insurance that requires Form 8962 reconciliation?

The IRS API endpoints that power the WMR interface frequently experience latency issues during peak processing periods. This temporal inaccessibility doesn't necessarily indicate a problem with your return's adjudication status. I encountered identical authentication rejection parameters approximately 72 hours ago, yet my deposit materialized this morning without any interim status updates becoming available.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I tried everything - different browsers, cleared cache, even used my wife's phone. Nothing worked. Then this morning it's back to normal showing my refund is still processing. The IRS systems are just a mess right now with tax season in full swing. Don't waste your time trying to fix it - it's definitely on their end.
