I know this is frustrating but unfortnately the verification process is designed to be strict to prevent identity theft. No way around the 24-hour lockout. The IRS takes security seriously even if there customer service is terrible.
After the most frustrating experience with the IRS website, I finally just called them using Claimyr.com to get through. The agent was able to verify my identity over the phone and tell me exactly what was going on with my return. It was the only way I could talk to a live agent without wasting an entire day on hold. My refund got released the next day!
Yep it actually works! I was skeptical too but was desperate after trying for days to get through on my own. Talking to an agent got my refund released so fast after it had been sitting there for months. They can see things in the system that we can't access.
Keep in mind there's a difference between your expected refund, adjusted refund, and issued refund. Code 150 shows tax per return, 768 shows calculated refund, 898 shows offsets, and 846 shows what was actually issued to you. The difference is almost always due to an offset of some kind.
idk why the IRS makes this so complicated. Like why can't they just have a website that clearly shows "we took $410 to pay your state tax debt" instead of making us decipher these weird codes? It's almost like they don't want us to understand what they're doing with our money š¤
I got so frustrated with this exact problem! Tried to call my state revenue office like 6 times and kept getting disconnected. Finally got through with Claimyr.com - they navigated the phone system and got me a callback with an actual agent. Turns out there was a simple mistake on my return they needed to verify. Refund was processed once I talked to someone. Saved me from losing my mind on hold music!
After going through this exact nightmare last year (federal quick, state took FOREVER), I found taxr.ai and it's been a lifesaver. It clearly explained what was happening with my refund status when the state website was giving me cryptic messages. This year I've been using it to track both federal and state - shows exactly where things are in the process and what to expect next. https://taxr.ai
sounds like one of those ads that pops up everywhere. anyone ACTUALLY try this?
Yeah I get the skepticism. I tried it out of desperation after spending way too many hours trying to decode what "being processed" actually meant. It breaks everything down in normal human language - like having a tax pro explain everything. Definitely not an ad - just someone who's been through the same frustrating wait.
I literally sat on hold with the IRS for 3 hours yesterday only to get disconnected. Its criminal how they treat us. Trying to find out about my amended return from LAST YEAR that still isnt processed. Anyone know how to actually reach a human?
seriously? never heard of it but desperate at this point. I'll try anything. 14 months waiting for my amended refund is ridiculous.
Yeah it works. They call and wait on hold, then call you when they get someone. The IRS agent I got was actually super helpful and found my amended return was missing a form. Got it sorted out and my check arrived 3 weeks later.
I work at a bank (not Chase). Here's what's happening: SBTPG initiated the ACH transfer today, but most ACH transfers don't settle same-day unless they're specifically marked as same-day ACH (which costs more). Regular ACH transfers typically take 1-2 business days to complete. So if they initiated it today, it'll probably hit your account tomorrow morning when your bank processes their overnight batch.

Download your TurboTax PDF and look at the very last pages. There should be a section called "Bank Fee Disclosure" or something similar that shows exactly what they charged you. Be warned: you're gonna be mad when you see it all itemized š¤”

ā¢Just found it and... WOW. You're right. I had no idea they were charging me for all these things. Some of them I don't even remember agreeing to!

Somethings not adding up... Even with ALL the TurboTax fees, $800 seems excessive. I'd demand an itemized breakdown from them. Make them explain every penny of that difference.

ā¢You'd be surprised. Deluxe package ($120) + state filing ($50) + refund transfer fee ($40) + audit protection ($60) + refund advance application ($50) + any add-on services can easily hit $400-500. Then if they filed for multiple states or had other premium features, $800 isn't impossible.
