The Non-Filer Verification Protocol (NFVP) implemented in 2023 has extended processing times significantly. Transcript updates occur in cycles, with verification completions typically batched on Thursdays for Friday transcript updates. The appearance of any codes represents progression through the verification pipeline.
According to IRM 21.5.6.4.35.3, non-filer verification may require additional processing time. Have you received any CP notices in the mail requesting additional information?
After waiting 7 weeks for my refund with both credits, I finally gave up on the regular IRS number and used Claimyr (https://www.claimyr.com). Got through to an agent in about 15 minutes instead of spending days trying to call. The agent confirmed my return was just stuck in the extended verification process but nothing was wrong. Got my refund about a week later. Worth it just for the peace of mind knowing nothing was actually wrong with my return.
Does this Claimyr thing actually work? I've spent so many hours on hold with the IRS just to get disconnected...
H&R Block filer here too! Filed Feb 3rd with both credits, still waiting. Called IRS yesterday and they said it's "still processing" with no errors. Agent said they're just backed up and to keep waiting. So frustrating but at least we're not alone!
I had a similar situation and needed my refund urgently. After waiting anxiously for days, I decided to call the IRS to confirm everything was on track. Spent hours trying to get through their phone system with no luck. Then I tried https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c from Claimyr.com and got connected to an IRS agent in about 15 minutes. They confirmed my deposit was scheduled exactly as shown on my transcript and explained that my bank would receive the funds on the DDD. The peace of mind was worth it, and I could plan accordingly instead of constantly checking my account. Here's how I did it: 1. Used Claimyr to reach an agent 2. Verified my identity 3. Asked specifically about my 846 code and DDD 4. Got confirmation about the exact timing
Based on IRS Treasury FMS protocols, the 846 code with cycle 0705 indicates your refund has entered the final disbursement phase. The DDD of 2/16 is the OFFICIAL date your financial institution will receive the ACH transfer, NOT necessarily when it will post to your account. This distinction is critical and often misunderstood. You need to factor in your bank's ACH processing timeframe, which varies significantly between institutions. Some process immediately, others have a 24-48 hour hold period. I would strongly recommend checking your account on 2/16 and 2/17, as weekend processing may further delay visibility of funds.
This "info doesn't match" issue happens in about 15-20% of filings based on what I've observed in tax forums. It's similar to how bank transactions sometimes show as "pending" long after they've cleared. The IRS processing pipeline has multiple stages: acceptance, verification, approval, and disbursement. The WMR tool only updates when all systems have synchronized, which can lag by 5-7 days compared to actual refund issuance. If you compare this to state tax refunds, you'll notice state systems generally have more accurate status reporting because they process fewer returns.
Thx for the detailed breakdown. I've noticed the same thing w/ my state refund vs federal. My state's website was spot-on accurate while the IRS one was way behind. Might be worth checking ur bank acct directly if ur getting the error msg for more than a week or so. Sometimes the $ is there even when WMR is clueless.
Has anyone possibly noticed if this "info doesn't match" issue seems to happen more frequently with certain tax situations? I'm wondering if perhaps returns with specific credits or deductions might be more likely to trigger this glitch in the system? My return had the Child Tax Credit, so I'm curious if that might have been a factor.

I went through this exact nightmare last year. Waited 7 weeks with no transcript updates. Finally tried calling the IRS but kept getting the "high call volume" message and disconnects. Found Claimyr.com and it got me through to an actual human at the IRS in about 15 minutes. The agent confirmed my return was just in normal processing with no issues. Cost me $25 but saved me days of redial hell. Worth it for the peace of mind: https://claimyr.com

β’Thanks for the suggestion! I tried calling yesterday and couldn't get through after being on hold for like an hour. Might try this if I don't see any updates by next week. Did they tell you exactly when you'd get your refund?

β’The agent couldn't give me an exact date, but she confirmed there were no holds on my return and that it was just in the normal queue. My transcript updated about 4 days after I called and the refund hit my account 5 days after that. Sometimes just knowing nothing is wrong is worth the call!

Check if you have access to your Account Transcript as well as your Return Transcript. Sometimes the Account Transcript will show activity even when the Return Transcript says N/A. Also, try checking your transcript after midnight on Friday - that's when the IRS typically does their weekly updates.
