I filed my taxes back in mid-April and I've been checking my transcript regularly. Last week I noticed these 571 and 972 codes appeared on my transcript which got me worried. What was even more concerning was that my wages weren't showing up on either the IRS website or the Social Security Administration site. I checked again this morning and my wages are FINALLY showing on both sites!!! Also, my Where's My Refund status changed from PATH message to processing. Does this mean I'm getting closer to receiving my refund? Anyone else experience something similar? How long until I might get my money?

I filed my taxes back in April for the 2023 tax year and I have an Identity Protection PIN that I use every time I file. I was expecting a refund of about $7,960.00 but when I check the IRS website or the IRS2Go app, all I get is "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. For more information about processing delays, please see our Refund Frequently Asked Questions." When I log into my IRS Account online at sa.www4.irs.gov and look at my Tax year 2024 return information, I can see that my return status shows: - Return: Received ? - Refund: Approved ? - Refund Sent: ? Under all this it just says "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available." Then there's some standard text about "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or use our free mobile app, IRS2Go. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." My personal tax information shows: - Tax Year: 2024 - Filing Status: Single - Expected refund amount: $6,960.00 It's been almost 3 months now and nothing has changed. I've checked my transcript but there's no update. Has anyone else with an IP PIN experienced delays like this? I've tried calling but can't get through to anyone. I'm starting to worry that something's wrong with my return. Is having an Identity Protection PIN causing this delay? Should I be concerned that my refund is stuck in processing for this long?

So sick of the IRS taking taxes out of every paycheck while making ME jump through hoops for anything I need from them. I just got a letter saying I need to verify something with them, and then they casually mention I should 'allow up to 360 days' to receive their verification letter. THEN after I send back their verification, they want another 365 days for 'processing.' Are you kidding me?? A whole YEAR after already waiting a year?? They don't hesitate to take my money instantly every payday, but when I need something from them suddenly everything moves at a glacial pace. The double standard is absolutely infuriating. I should start making THEM verify before I allow any more taxes to be withheld from my checks!

So this is my very first time filing taxes ever and I also have a 4 month old baby. I verified my identity on March 15th online. When I didnt see any updates I called the IRS on March 22nd and the person told me that everything went through but that online verification takes a little longer and that I should expect something within 21 days from March 20th. Its been over 3 weeks now and my transcript is still completely blank saying it hasnt been processed yet. When I check the WMR tool it just shows: Return | Refund | Refund Received | Approved | Sent "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. For more information about processing delays, please see our Refund Frequently Asked Questions. Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or visit the Refunds page on IRS.gov. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." I was really hoping that with a new baby I would get my refund quickly since I'm counting on that money for baby supplies. I thought the child tax credit and earned income credit would make things go faster, not slower. The IRS rep seemed so confident when I called, but now I'm worried because the transcript is still blank and the WMR tool hasn't moved past the first stage. Anyone else dealing with this or know what I should do next? Should I call the IRS again or keep waiting? I'm starting to get really anxious about this since the "21 days" the representative mentioned has already passed.

I e-filed my taxes on January 15th and my 30-day processing window ended on February 15th. I called the IRS yesterday to verify my status and they confirmed that I've passed the normal processing timeframe. I checked my transcript today and there's literally nothing there. Here's exactly what my transcript shows: Internal Revenue Service United States Department of the Treasury This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data Request Date: 03-04-2025 Response Date: 03-04-2025 Account Transcript FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2024 TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: [redacted] ANY MINUS SIGN SHOWN BELOW SIGNIFIES A CREDIT AMOUNT ACCOUNT BALANCE: 0.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 04, 2025 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Mar. 04, 2025 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): 0.00 INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED EXEMPTIONS: 00 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: TAXABLE INCOME: TAX PER RETURN: SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS CODE EXPLANATION OF TRANSACTION CYCLE DATE AMOUNT No tax return filed This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data It literally says "No tax return filed" and "Return not present for this account." My account balance shows $0.00. I filed as Head of Household, and it's been well over a month now. The IRS representative confirmed I'm past the normal processing window when I called. Should I be worried about this? Does anyone know if I should contact them again or just keep waiting? This is really frustrating since I e-filed in mid-January and we're now in March. Has anyone else experienced this where their transcript shows absolutely nothing despite filing 6+ weeks ago?
