this happened to my husband and me last year. we got that same message for weeks and then suddenly got a letter saying we had to verify our identity. check the IRS website for identity verification. maybe thats ur issue too
whatever you do, DO NOT call the IRS general number. youll be on hold for hours and probably get disconnected. if you need to talk to someone, either use claimyr.com (they'll wait on hold for you) or call your local Taxpayer Advocate Service office.
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.
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.

Did your Where's My Refund tool update at all? Mine's been stuck on "still processing" for weeks even though my transcript has all kinds of activity and codes.

ā¢Where's My Refund just says they received my return and it's being processed. Completely useless tool tbh.

ā¢The wmr tool is a joke. Literally never updates with accurate info. The transcript is the only way to really know whats happening

This happened to me last year due to a name mismatch with social security records (I got married). The 570 sat there for 11 weeks before i got a letter explaining the issue. After I fixed it, took another 3 weeks to get my money. Check that all your info matches your social security card exactly.
