My sister works for the IRS (not giving tax advice just sharing what I know). She says there's sometimes a 24-48 hour delay between when the IRS initiates the refund and when it actually gets to your bank. If today is your DDD, it could take till Wednesday or Thursday.
Call the tax advocate service at 1-877-777-4778. They can sometimes help speed things up if your refund is delayed past the DDD.
Good luck getting through to them though. They're even harder to reach than the regular IRS!
After trying for weeks to get through to the Taxpayer Advocate Service with no luck, I used claimyr.com to connect with an IRS agent directly. Got my issue resolved in one call!
Why does the IRS gotta be so SLOW every damn year?? I filed in February and didn't get my refund until April. The whole system is broken. But yeah your transcript looking like that is totally normal while you wait. Nothing to worry about yet.
Looks like a perfectly normal transcript for a return that's been received but not processed yet. Give it another 2-3 weeks before panicking. The IRS is severely backlogged this year.
Check for an 846 code on your transcript - that's the refund issued code. Once you see that with a date, you'll know exactly when your money is coming. The 570/971 combo without an 846 means you're still in verification, but now that your wages are showing up, the 846 should appear soon!
I've learned that all the IRS codes seem scary but are mostly just normal processing steps. The system is ancient and inefficient but it does (usually) work eventually. Your case sounds like standard income verification that's now complete. Deep breaths - your money is coming soon!
Anybody else notice how they can magically process your payment in 2-3 business days but need a year to process anything that benefits you? 𤔠system

I work in tax resolution and see this all the time. The IRS is required by their internal policies to give maximum timeframes, but identity verification usually takes 6-12 weeks in practice. If you want to speed things up, call the number on your notice and request to verify over the phone, or make an appointment at your local Taxpayer Assistance Center. Both options can resolve verification in a single day rather than waiting for mail correspondence.

Okay, stupid question maybe but how do you actually access your transcripts? I created an ID.me account but still can't figure out where to view them š

ā¢And once you have your transcript if you're confused about all the codes (I sure was), taxr.ai can explain everything in plain English. Saved me tons of research time.
