This happened to me! Filed feb 2024, got the "we need to review your credits" message. Called a million times but it was useles. Finally got through to them with claimyr.com in July - turned out they were done with the review but there was a processing error they needed to fix manually. Got my refund in August. It was literally sitting there approved but stuck because their system is garbage.
This might sound weird but check your bank account every few days. My refund just appeared one day with zero warning - the WMR tool never updated and I never got any notification from the IRS. The system is so broken right now.
after 4 years of dealing with irs nonsense i finally got through to a real person using claimyr.com and it was life changing. talking to an actual agent got my refund released within days after months of weird status changes and zero communication. sometimes you just need to talk to a human being who can actually look at your file.
how long did it take to get through? i've been trying for weeks
Okay so this is gonna sound weird but check if there was a full moon when your status changed. I SWEAR the IRS systems go haywire during full moons - it's like a known thing in the tax prep community. Status often changes back a few days later.
Dead serious! My tax guy has tracked this for YEARS and swears there's a correlation. Their systems do maintenance during certain lunar cycles and it messes with the status displays. Sounds crazy but š¤·āāļø
I work in IT and this is actually more common than you'd think. Many scheduled system updates happen on preset lunar calendar schedules dating back to old government protocols. Sounds insane but it's real!
The exact same thing happened to me! After months of frustration I finally used Claimyr and got through to an actual competent IRS agent. Turns out my return was sitting in some obscure holding queue because of a mismatch with my address format of all things. The agent was able to release it right there during the call. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent who actually took the time to search thoroughly. claimyr.com saved me from waiting another 6 months.
That's wild that it was just an address format issue. The system is so fragile. I'm definitely going to try Claimyr if I keep hitting dead ends. Did they find your return right away or did it take some digging?
save ALL your records!!! acceptance confirmation, screenshots, everything. i went thru this in 2022 and had to prove to the IRS their own system was wrong. it was a nightmare but i did eventually get my refund + interest.
Is anyone else's transcript showing code 570 and 971? Mine has those and DDD disappeared š³
570 is a refund hold and 971 means they sent you a notice. You might be getting audited or they found a math error. Check your mail.
I had this last year. Used taxr.ai to understand what was happening and it turned out they were just verifying my W2 with my employer. Refund came about 2 weeks later.
After 6 hours of trying to reach the IRS about my missing refund (kept getting disconnected after 2 hour holds), I finally tried claimyr.com and got through! IRS agent told me my refund was flagged because I accidentally entered a wrong W2 amount, but she fixed it right on the call. Scheduled for direct deposit next week now! It was the only way I could talk to a live person at the IRS without wasting an entire day.

Omg I had to wait 11 months for my amended return to process last year. The IRS is completely overwhelmed with these. Don't trust any timeline they give you.

ā¢Worked for me! They basically wait on hold for you and call when they get an agent. Saved me hours of frustration and the agent I spoke with was actually super helpful. My return was processed within 2 weeks after that call.
