Fr fr its because we did the fees taken out of refund option
unpopular opinion: if ur expecting a big refund, you should adjust ur withholding so u get more $ during the year instead of giving the irs an interest free loan π€·ββοΈ
This is literally the most popular opinion on every tax forum ever π But you're right
Some people use it as forced savings because they know they'd spend it otherwise. Different strokes for different folks
do u have path act credits? EIC or ACTC? those are automatically delayed until mid feb at earliest. also did u verify identity? theres a special dept that handles identity verification that can cause major delays
For real tho π I'm half expecting to turn into a giant bug at this point
Hey OP, have you considered hiring a professional to help with the amendments? Sometimes it's worth the money to avoid the headache.
I've thought about it, but wasn't sure if it was worth the cost. Might have to look into it if I can't make any progress soon.
It can be pricy, but if time is money, it might be worth it. Just make sure to do your research and find someone reputable.

So glad I came across taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) this year! I was in a similar situation with questions about both state and federal returns. The tool clarified exactly where my federal refund was in the process and when to expect it. For the state return, it explained how state processing typically follows federal completion. Saved me hours of research and worry!

β’Not an ad, just sharing what helped me. But whatever, keep stressing over transcript codes and waiting on hold with the IRS for hours if that's your preference. I'm just glad I found something that actually worked.

Just to add a bit more info: When people talk about "trace numbers" for federal taxes, they're usually referring to the process of requesting a trace on a missing refund, NOT a tracking number. For normal tracking, you just use the Where's My Refund tool with your basic info. But if your refund is lost or doesn't arrive by the expected date, you would request a "trace" which then generates a case number. States have similar processes, but each one is different.
