WMR suddenly asking me to re-enter info after finding me all week?
So I've been checking Where's My Refund all week like it's my Instagram feed (tax refund FOMO is real 😂) and it's been showing my return status just fine. But today, out of nowhere, it's acting like it has amnesia and asking me to re-enter all my info as if we've never met before. Anyone else experiencing this digital betrayal or is the IRS playing hard to get with just me? I'm trying to fund my summer classes here! 🤔

Refund Stuck in Errors Department - 4 Weeks In and Now Told to Wait 10 Weeks
Welp looks like I have to wait the 10wks 🤦🏾♀️ I spoke to someone and she said my refund is with the errors department. I have never had to wait this long for what belongs to me smh, I'm already 4 weeks in.

Pro tip: If you do end up waiting the full 10 weeks, you'll likely get interest added to your refund. Small consolation, but at least it's something. Current IRS interest rate is 7% annually, which is better than most savings accounts.
Did you file with a tax preparer or software? Sometimes they can provide insight on common errors that might have triggered the review. Also check if you have any past due debts that might cause an offset - that sometimes triggers additional review.
I used TurboTax like I do every year. No debts that I know of! My return is pretty simple - W2, child tax credit, nothing fancy. That's why I'm so confused about what could possibly be wrong.
Could be identity verification then. The IRS has been extra cautious with Child Tax Credit claims the last two years. Might be worth calling specifically about ID verification - sometimes that's handled by a different department.
Is Everyone Verifying Both Online and by Phone for 2024 Taxes?
Hey guys I have a question is everyone verifying online and by phone ? For 2024 taxes Just curious because when my husband was deployed last year, we only had to verify online, but this year I'm hearing different things. Not trying to share too much of our personal situation, but wondering what the standard procedure is for military families this time around.

Instead of verifying by phone, request an in-person appointment at your local Taxpayer Assistance Center. Use the IRS TAC appointment system online to schedule. This verification method is often faster than phone verification, which can take weeks for processing. The in-person verification is immediately recorded in the IRS system, potentially expediting your refund by 7-10 days compared to telephone verification.
Be extremely careful if you're getting messages about verification! My brother-in-law got a text claiming to be IRS verification that was actually a scam. Real IRS verification is only through official letters, their secure online portal, or by calling their official numbers. They never initiate contact through text or email for verification purposes. The scammers are getting really sophisticated with military families this year.
Any Updates for 2/12 Filers? Anyone Get Their Deposits Yet?
Okay my people who filed the 2/12 any updates? Any deposits as of yet? Been checking WMR daily and still stuck on "processing". Starting to get antsy since it's been over a month now. Anyone in the same boat or did some of y'all get lucky already? 🤞

I'm one of the 2/12 filers and spent THREE DAYS trying to get through to the IRS to find out what was happening. Finally used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) and got through to an agent in about 15 minutes. Turns out they needed to verify my W2 info but never sent a letter. Agent cleared it right away and my deposit hit 2 days later. Might be worth a try if you're still stuck.
For real? I've been calling the IRS number like crazy and can't get past the automated system. Might have to check this out if nothing changes by the end of the week.
Transcript Still Shows N/A After Being Accepted on 2/13 - Losing Hope 😩

When I was in this situation (waited over 2 months last year), I finally got tired of checking and called the IRS. Spent 3 days trying to get through before I found Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). They got me connected to an actual IRS agent in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was just in normal processing and nothing was flagged. Got my refund about a week later. Worth it just for the peace of mind.
Might have to try that fr cause this waiting game got me stressed. Thanks for the tip 💯

This is normal. Happens every year. System overload. Try again tomorrow. Different browsers help. Mobile sometimes works better. Don't panic. Your return isn't lost. Just a display issue. WMR isn't connected to main IRS database directly. It's just a status tool.

This happened to me last month and I was FREAKING OUT because I needed that money for my car repair! 😭 I kept checking 3-4 times a day and getting more stressed. Then suddenly on a Saturday morning it was back to normal showing my status, and I got my deposit the following Wednesday. The emotional rollercoaster was REAL but it all worked out. Hang in there! ❤️
