I filed in February and still nothing. No trace code. No updates. Transcript hasn't changed in 3 months. Starting to think my refund went to a black hole.
I tried calling the advocate line but they said they're not taking new cases unless its a hardship. Might try that trace number OP mentioned
If you need to talk to an actual IRS person try Claimyr (claimyr.com). It was the only way I could talk to a live agent after weeks of trying. Found out my return had been flagged for identity verification but they never sent me the letter!
I'm an accountant and see this all the time. The PATH Act (Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes) requires additional verification for returns with EITC/ACTC which is why there's that mid-February holdback period. Even after the hold is released, there can be delays. If you have a DDD on transcript (code 846), your money is coming - just be patient. The IRS sends the money through ACH which typically takes 1-5 business days depending on your bank.
If its leadership credit union they are notoriously slow with tax refunds. My cousin works there and says they intentionally hold them for a few extra days to "verify" or something. Try calling again and specifically asking if there's a hold for verification.
Really? That's messed up. I'll definitely ask about that specifically when I call them again tomorrow.
turbo tax gang rise up š only thing I trust for my taxes tbh
whatever bro its worth the $ for me, i dont have time to learn a new system
I was getting so frustrated trying to understand my transcript and figure out why my refund was delayed. All those codes are so confusing! I tried using taxr.ai after someone on here recommended it, and it was a game-changer. It analyzed my transcript and explained exactly what was happening with my refund and when I'd get it. Saved me so much stress and confusion!
If I owed THEM money and was 3 months late, they'd charge me interest and penalties. But they can take their sweet time giving us OUR money back with zero consequences. Make it make sense.
Wait for real? How do you claim that?
They should automatically add it to your refund. Check your transcript - there should be an interest payment code if you qualified.
Quick tip for everyone still waiting - if you get your tax transcript, look for Code 846 with a date. That's your refund date! It's been accurate for me 3 years in a row.

You need to start a trace. Call the IRS at 800-829-1040. But good luck getting through lol. I spent 4 days trying before I gave up and used claimyr.com to get a callback from an agent. Best decision ever - finally got my trace started and received my refund 2 weeks later. Found out they had sent my deposit to the wrong account even though my transcript showed everything was correct.

ā¢It was 100% worth it for me. I was going insane trying to reach someone, and they had me talking to an agent within 2 hours. Considering I was waiting on a $2700 refund that was stuck in limbo, getting actual help was priceless. They don't guarantee you'll get your refund issue resolved, just that you'll get to talk to a human at the IRS who can help.
