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!
This might sound crazy but did you accidentally claim any pandemic-related credits? The IRS is heavily scrutinizing those and it could explain the delay, especially combined with an IP PIN.
I was stuck in IP PIN verification hell for months before I finally got a callback from an IRS agent through claimyr.com. The agent found an issue that was never gonna resolve itself without intervention. Talking to someone directly was the only thing that fixed my situation and got my refund released. Worth every penny when you consider I was waiting on a $6k refund.

Can we talk about how WMR tool is completely useless? Oh you want to know what's happening with your refund? Here's a colorful bar that tells you absolutely nothing helpful! š¤¦āāļø The IRS transcript actually shows all the real information but it's like they deliberately hide the useful stuff behind confusing codes. taxr.ai is the only reason I understood what was happening with my return - translated all that gibberish into actual English.

ā¢You just upload your transcript that you download from the IRS. I was paranoid too before I tried it. Way better than spending hours googling random codes and still not knowing what's going on.

Unpopular opinion but I'd rather wait another 3 weeks than get audited. If they're being thorough at least they're being thorough? Silver lining?
