my brother in christ you are getting SCAMMED. I own a small business with rental properties and even I don't pay that much š
dang fr? Now I feel extra stupid for paying this much š
Don't feel stupid, just make a change! We all learn somehow
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.
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
But OP said their transcript is completely blank - would this still work?
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.

I work in finance, so let me break this down for you: 1. Refund processing times vary by company and payment method. 2. Most companies initiate refunds within 1-3 business days of cancellation. 3. Credit card refunds typically appear as pending within 24 hours but may take 3-5 days to post. 4. Debit card and bank transfer refunds can take 5-10 business days. 5. PayPal refunds are usually faster, often within 24 hours. If it's been longer than these timeframes, definitely reach out to the company again. They should be able to provide a refund confirmation number or transaction ID. As for the IRS issue, consider using the Taxpayer Advocate Service if you're having trouble resolving it on your own. They can often help navigate complex situations.
