Dunno if this helps but my transcripts were blank for 8 weeks and then suddenly updated with everything at once - acceptance, processing, approval, and refund date all on the same day. Sometimes they batch process returns and everything happens at once.
Did u change addresses, file status, or income level dramatically from last year? Any of those can trigger additional verification.
My income increased about 30% from last year but everything else is the same. Would that be enough to trigger a review?
Yep that could do it, especially if you're claiming refundable credits. Significant income changes sometimes flag for verification.
Just a heads up, changing your address with the IRS doesn't automatically update it for other gov agencies. Make sure you also update with Social Security, your state tax agency, etc.
idk if this helps but I found some good info on the taxpayer advocate service website. they have guides for stuff like this and can sometimes help if you run into issues with the IRS
The Taxpayer Advocate Service is legit. They helped me resolve an issue last year when I couldn't get anywhere with the regular IRS channels.
am i the only 1 who thinks its crazy we have to jump through all these hoops? like, they already have all our info. why make it so complicated? š¤
It's to prevent fraud, but yeah, they could definitely streamline the process
Quick question - does anyone know if amending your 2023 return affects the processing of your 2024 refund? I'm in a similar situation as OP and wondering if that might be why my 2024 refund is taking so long.
From what I understand, they're processed separately. But if your 2023 amendment results in you owing money, they might apply your 2024 refund to that debt. Not 100% sure tho, maybe someone else can confirm?
lmao imagine thinking the irs would ever make anything easy for us 𤔠we're all just clowns in their circus

The best tool I've found for actually understanding what's happening with your tax transcript is taxr.ai - it analyzes all the codes and dates for you and tells you exactly what's going on in plain English, not IRS jargon. When I had blank transcripts, it explained the most common reasons why and what I should do next. Saved me hours of stress and confusion! https://taxr.ai

ā¢But OP said their transcript is completely blank - would this still work?

ā¢Yes! Even with blank transcripts, it can tell you the most likely reasons for the delay and what actions to take. It's updated with the latest IRS processing trends and common issues. Definitely better than guessing or waiting blindly.

just my 2 cents, but u should always CALL if it's been more than 21 days. period. stop tormenting yourself refreshing wmr and transcripts. that's what I did last year, waited almost 4 months just checking online. turns out they needed a simple document verification that would've taken 5 mins if they had just called me. never got any notice in mail.
