If I owed THEM money and was 3 months late, they'd charge me interest and penalties. But they can take their sweet time giving us OUR money back with zero consequences. Make it make sense.
Wait for real? How do you claim that?
They should automatically add it to your refund. Check your transcript - there should be an interest payment code if you qualified.
Quick tip for everyone still waiting - if you get your tax transcript, look for Code 846 with a date. That's your refund date! It's been accurate for me 3 years in a row.
turbo tax gang rise up š only thing I trust for my taxes tbh
whatever bro its worth the $ for me, i dont have time to learn a new system
I was getting so frustrated trying to understand my transcript and figure out why my refund was delayed. All those codes are so confusing! I tried using taxr.ai after someone on here recommended it, and it was a game-changer. It analyzed my transcript and explained exactly what was happening with my refund and when I'd get it. Saved me so much stress and confusion!
The IRS is a disaster this year. I filed in February and still don't have my refund. No explanation. No notices. Nothing. Just crickets. It's criminal how they can hold onto our money with zero accountability.
Tried calling 47 times over 3 weeks. Never got through once. Just endless "sorry all of our representatives are busy" messages and disconnects. The system is designed to be impossible.
I had this exact issue and was going insane. Finally used claimyr.com and got connected to an agent in under an hour. Found out they had a simple address verification hold on my account. The agent fixed it immediately. Had my refund 4 days later. Just sharing in case it helps you too!
Log out completely, clear your browser cache/cookies, restart your computer, and try again. Sounds basic but the IRS website is notorious for weird technical glitches that simple steps like this can fix. Also try a different browser entirely - some people report success with Firefox when Chrome fails.

I filed in February and still nothing. No trace code. No updates. Transcript hasn't changed in 3 months. Starting to think my refund went to a black hole.

ā¢I tried calling the advocate line but they said they're not taking new cases unless its a hardship. Might try that trace number OP mentioned

ā¢If you need to talk to an actual IRS person try Claimyr (claimyr.com). It was the only way I could talk to a live agent after weeks of trying. Found out my return had been flagged for identity verification but they never sent me the letter!

What information do you need to have ready when calling that number? I wanna try but don't wanna get stuck not having something they ask for.

ā¢They asked for my SSN, filing status, and the refund amount. Also might want your bank info handy if you did direct deposit.
