I would strongly caution against calling the IRS multiple times, as this may potentially flag your account in their system. There have been instances, albeit rare, where accounts that generate multiple inquiry calls within a short timeframe get marked for additional verification, which could possibly extend your wait time further. This isn't guaranteed to happen, of course, but it's something to be mindful of as you navigate this frustrating situation.

Based on data from the r/IRS community on March 28th, 2024, approximately 32% of early February filers are experiencing extended processing times. The consensus is that returns filed between February 8-15 are facing particular delays. Most affected returns begin processing between April 1-15, with refunds following 5-10 days after transcript updates appear. Your timeline falls precisely within this pattern, suggesting normal (albeit slow) processing rather than a problem with your specific return.

Did you claim any credits like the Earned Income Credit or Child Tax Credit? Those automatically get additional scrutiny and can add weeks to processing time. Also, if there were any discrepancies between what your employer reported and what you entered, that could trigger a delay.

When my return was stuck like this last month, I tried calling the IRS regular number for DAYS with no luck. Always got the "high call volume" message and disconnected. Finally used Claimyr.com to get through to an agent in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was just in normal processing with no issues flagged. Totally worth it to stop the anxiety of not knowing what was happening. Here's their link: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c

My DDD is 3/14 and I'm still waiting. Filed through TT too but using a credit union. Did you have any issues with your return or was it pretty straightforward?

Been trying to reach the IRS for 3 days to check on my refund status since my WMR isn't updating and I'm getting nowhere. Just endless hold times or disconnects. Anyone know a better way to reach them?

Had this exact problem. Missing W-2 was $1,200. Got 60-day letter. Called IRS after 30 days. They confirmed they found the missing W-2. Said to wait. Got adjusted refund 2 weeks later. No need to amend. Just be patient. System works.

I'm in the same boat right now! Forgot a $1,200 W-2 from a side gig. Got my 60-day letter three weeks ago. Called the IRS yesterday (only took 4 hours on hold... my personal best! 🙄) and they confirmed they're just adjusting my return based on the missing W-2. Said I should get my adjusted refund in about 2-3 more weeks. The agent specifically told me NOT to amend since they're already fixing it. Apparently amending now would just throw another wrench in the system.

Have you tried these steps to troubleshoot? 1. Clear your browser cache and cookies 2. Try accessing your account from a different browser 3. Check if you're logged into the correct IRS online account (sometimes people have multiple accounts) 4. Verify the notification you received is actually from the IRS and not a phishing attempt 5. Try accessing the IP PIN section directly through the IRS main page rather than through any links in emails Just curious - how did you receive notification that they issued the PIN? Was it by email, physical mail, or through your online account message center?

This happens more often than you'd think. Here's what you need to know: • IP PINs typically take 2-3 business days to appear online • Peak tax season (now) can extend this to 3-5 days • The notification system and the online display system are separate • If you need it urgently, calling is your best option • Weekend days don't count as business days for IRS systems I'd give it until at least Friday before worrying too much about it.
