the TurboTax + Cash App + SBTPG unholy trinity has been the absolute WORST. after 3 weeks of trying to access my account I finally gave up and called the IRS directly. Was on hold for 2+ hours and then got disconnected 𤔠anyone got a better way to reach a human?
I was in the same boat! Tried calling IRS like 15 times and could never get through. Finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got a callback in about an hour. It was the only way I could actually talk to a live agent. They helped me figure out what was going on with my refund.
I'm done with TurboTax after this year's disaster with SBTPG. Anyone have recommendations for better tax filing services that don't use this terrible system?
I switched to FreeTaxUSA this year after 5 years with TurboTax and it was soooo much better. Way cheaper too.
The past 3 years have been terrible for IRS processing times. My experience has been: 2020 return - filed in Feb, got refund in JULY; 2021 return - filed in March, refund in May; 2022 return - filed in Feb, refund in April. The system is completely unpredictable now. your milage may vary.
Something similar happened to me and I was going CRAZY trying to figure out what was wrong with my return. Spent hours researching transcript codes and still couldn't understand why it was delayed. I used taxr.ai and it translated all the IRS gibberish instantly! Showed me exactly why my refund was delayed (had a random review code) and when to expect it. Saved me so much stress - definitely recommend checking it out at https://taxr.ai if you're stuck in limbo like I was.
Just tried it - wow! Had no idea my return had been pulled for income verification. This explained everything the IRS wouldn't tell me!
If your still confused about how to read your transcript, I highly recommend using taxr.ai - it saved me so much time and frustration. It explains every code and date in plain English and even predicts when you'll get your refund. Much better than asking random strangers on reddit to explain IRS codes lol.
Just checked this out cuz of your comment and WOW it's actually good??? Where has this been all tax season? Would have saved me so many headaches.
me over here still waiting on my 2022 amended return š
Amended returns are in their own special circle of IRS hell. I waited 14 months for mine last time.
14 MONTHS?!?! omg i thought my 6 month wait was bad. this system is broken beyond repair.
the state and federal are completely different systems so its totally possible for one to work and the other to have issues. check if you used the same info for both. i had this happen because i accidentally transposed two digits in my ssn on the federal form but had it right on the state form. took forever to figure out!
After spending WEEKS trying to decode what was happening with my transcript (all those codes made my head spin), I used taxr.ai and it explained everything instantly. Turned out there was a simple issue holding up my refund that I could fix with a quick call. Would have never figured it out on my own - best money I've spent this tax season for sure. https://taxr.ai

ā¢Saaame. Filed in February, got a DDD in March, then nothing happened. Called for weeks with no luck getting through. Finally used claimyr.com to actually get an agent on the phone and found out my refund was held up for "verification" that nobody told me about. Got it resolved in one phone call and my money arrived 3 days later. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent.

I had an IDENTICAL situation! I spent days stressing and refreshing my bank app. My transcript showed a DDD of March 14th but nothing hit my account until March 22nd - a full 8 days later! Just be patient, it will come.
