I e-filed my tax return on March 15th and got an acceptance notification the same day. It's been over 7 weeks now and the Where's My Refund tool still shows "return received" status. No updates at all. I was expecting around $3,800 back and really need this money soon. Tried calling the IRS multiple times but can't get through to a human. Checked my transcript online but don't see any updates there either. Is this normal for this tax season? When should I start worrying? Anyone else stuck waiting like me?

I filed my taxes through a preparer in April and chose to have the preparation fees taken out of my refund. I got a loan advance thing too. Just checked my transcript and see the refund is scheduled to be deposited tomorrow. Problem is, my tax lady was supposed to change my direct deposit to a paper check since I closed the bank account I originally listed. She says not to worry because the deposit will be rejected and sent back to her office, then I can just pick up a check from them. Has anyone gone through this situation before? Will it actually work like she says or am I gonna end up waiting months for this to sort out?

I've been checking my tax transcripts for weeks and they're completely blank. Today my Where's My Refund just updated with a new message. I went to the official IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov/ola/refund) to check my refund status and this is what I'm seeing: For Tax year 2024: Return: Received ✓ Refund Approved: ? Refund Sent: ? The message reads: "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." Under "Helpful Information" it shows: "Please read the following information related to your tax situation: Tax Topic 152, Refund Information" Nothing is marked as approved or sent, just received. I'm wondering if I need to verify my identity. Has anyone experienced this situation without needing to verify? Is there a specific number I should call to check on verification status? I'm really getting worried since my transcripts are blank but the Where's My Refund tool acknowledges they received my return with the Tax Topic 152 reference.

I finally got around to filing my 2023 tax return last week. I know I'm pretty late since it's already September. The IRS website says normal processing time is 21 days but I've been hearing from friends that if you file late, you might not see your refund until the end of the year. Is that true? I'm expecting about $1,700 back and could really use it sooner rather than later. Has anyone filed late and still gotten their refund quickly?

Im seeing so many ppl complaining about trace numbers and not getting their deposits... its now 3/21 which is way past the 3/15 deposit date and some of yall STILL don't have your money?? This is absolutely ridiculous fr. Who are you all using to file that's causing these issues?? I went with a certified tax professional last year and never had any of these probs. Seems like a lot of people using those online services or doing it themselves are running into these delays and trace number issues. Maybe spending a little extra for someone who knows what their doing is worth it in the long run?
