The best tool I've found for actually understanding what's happening with your tax transcript is taxr.ai - it analyzes all the codes and dates for you and tells you exactly what's going on in plain English, not IRS jargon. When I had blank transcripts, it explained the most common reasons why and what I should do next. Saved me hours of stress and confusion! https://taxr.ai
But OP said their transcript is completely blank - would this still work?
just my 2 cents, but u should always CALL if it's been more than 21 days. period. stop tormenting yourself refreshing wmr and transcripts. that's what I did last year, waited almost 4 months just checking online. turns out they needed a simple document verification that would've taken 5 mins if they had just called me. never got any notice in mail.
After being stuck in limbo for weeks, I finally reached an IRS rep through Claimyr (claimyr.com) and found out my return was on hold because of a mismatch with my W2. They never sent me a notice! The agent fixed it on the spot and my refund was released that day. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human - it was seriously the best decision I made after weeks of stress and uncertainty.
Wow that's good to know! I might try that if I don't see any movement by next week.
Definitely worth it. The agent told me TONS of returns are stuck in verification right now but they can often clear them immediately once you get someone on the phone.
Did your Where's My Refund tool update at all? Mine's been stuck on "still processing" for weeks even though my transcript has all kinds of activity and codes.
after dealing with this exact nightmare scenario for 2 months I finally got through to the IRS using claimyr.com and found out my return was stuck in the error resolution department due to a mismatch with my dependent's SSN (I had typed it correctly but apparently there was some database issue on their end). Talking to an agent resolved it immediately and I had my refund 8 days later. Sometimes you just need a human to look at your account.
how much did it cost to use that service?
Lol welcome to tax season 2024 where the rules are made up and the processing times don't matter 𤣠Seriously tho, this is my 4th year in a row with delays. Last year took 4 months for me to get my refund. The IRS is beyond broken at this point.

Dunno if this helps but my transcripts were blank for 8 weeks and then suddenly updated with everything at once - acceptance, processing, approval, and refund date all on the same day. Sometimes they batch process returns and everything happens at once.

Did u change addresses, file status, or income level dramatically from last year? Any of those can trigger additional verification.

ā¢My income increased about 30% from last year but everything else is the same. Would that be enough to trigger a review?

ā¢Yep that could do it, especially if you're claiming refundable credits. Significant income changes sometimes flag for verification.
