I'm actually a tax preparer (10+ years experience) and what they're doing is completely unethical. State returns are almost always included in the preparation fee, especially at that price point. The only exception might be if you live in one state but need to file in multiple states due to work situations, but even then they should have disclosed that upfront. You should report them to your state's board of accountancy and possibly the IRS depending on whether they're enrolled agents or not. This kind of bait-and-switch pricing hurts the whole profession.
Thanks for the professional perspective. Do you know if I'll need any special forms to file my state return myself? I live and work in the same state if that helps.
You should be able to find the forms on your state's department of revenue website. Most state returns are pretty straightforward if you already have your federal return completed. You'll mainly need your federal AGI and any state-specific deductions or credits. If you run into specific questions, feel free to message me.
Make sure the address on your return matches EXACTLY what the IRS has on file. Even small differences can cause delays after verification. My friend had this happen - transcript didn't update for weeks after verification because his address format was slightly different than what IRS had on file.
I verified then nothing for 6 weeks. Called IRS and got transferred to accounts management who told me I was randomly selected for additional review AFTER identity verification! That's why nothing was updating. Had to wait another 4 weeks after that. Total of 10 weeks after verification before I got my money. The system is broken š«
Check your transcript again in a few days. You'll likely see code 571 (resolving the 570 hold) and then an 846 code with your refund date. The WMR update is definitely a good sign - means the system is working through whatever the issue was. Hang in there!
Those codes drove me INSANE last year. I was stuck in tax limbo for 3+ months. Finally got a human on the phone using Claimyr (claimyr.com) and they sorted it in minutes - turns out there was just a simple verification flag on my account. My refund was released like 2 days later. It was the best money I've ever spent after wasting countless hours trying to call the IRS myself.
You can call your bank directly and ask them about their specific policy for the early deposit feature. Some count business days only, others count calendar days. The IRS message is completely separate from your bank's early deposit feature.
man im still waiting on my 2023 refund and yall out here asking about getting 2024's refund EARLY?? š
Use Claimyr.com - I was in the same boat with my 2023 return and they got me through to an agent who fixed it. Worth every penny to finally get my $4200 refund!
never heard of it but ill try anything at this point thx

The cycle code you mentioned (20250903) is your processing cycle. "Processing" vs. "Still Processing" on WMR is actually meaningful - it typically means they've assigned your return to a specific processing team. The 570/971 combo usually means some kind of adjustment. If your transcript shows a zero balance, they'll likely release your refund soon after whatever review they're doing is complete.

Anyone notice how the IRS has gotten slower and slower every year? My parents said they used to get refunds in like a week or two back in the day. Now we're all sitting here decoding cryptic messages like we're working for the CIA just to figure out when we'll get OUR money back. The whole system is broken.

ā¢For real. My grandpa said they used to get refund checks in like 10 days flat. Now we're waiting months and stalking our transcripts like crazy people.
