Filed March 5th, randomly checked transcript April 15th and found identity verification needed, got DDD after in-person verification
I filed on March 5th and got accepted same day. Around April 15th I randomly decided to log into my account to check my transcripts. To my surprise, it showed I needed to verify my tax return in my notifications. I called for several days trying to see if I could verify over the phone, and was asking when to expect the verification letter. Since I'm not in a disaster state, they wouldn't let me do the verification over the phone. Got tired of waiting for a letter and went in person last Monday to verify. My transcripts went from completely blank to showing all codes that Friday, including my 846 code with a DDD of May 24th. Money hit my TurboTax card yesterday.

Can I track my state tax refund with a trace number like federal refunds? My DDD is 3/15
I'm waiting on both my federal and state tax refunds. I have a direct deposit date of 3/15 for my federal return. I know how to track that with the trace number on the IRS site, but what about my state refund? Do state tax returns have trace numbers too? Or is there a different way to track them? I filed both returns together through TurboTax in early February.

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!
Another spammy comment about this taxr thing? Getting real tired of these ads disguised as helpful comments 🙄
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.
5 out of 7 of my transcripts were empty for weeks - just got 846 code dated 4/12
Filed my taxes back in early February and was accepted right away. I've been checking my transcripts every few days since then hoping to see some movement, but 5 out of my 7 transcripts were completely blank. The other 2 just showed basic info but nothing about my refund. Was getting pretty worried since my family really needs this money. Today I finally checked again and saw an 846 code dated 4/12! Does this mean I'll definitely get my refund on that date? I'm so relieved to finally see something happening but I'm still nervous until I see that money hit my account.

You should also check WMR (Wheres My Refund) on the IRS site or app. When you have an 846 code, WMR usually updates to the third bar that says your refund is being sent. Sometimes WMR updates first, sometimes the transcript updates first. But 846 is definitely good news!
Just checked and WMR still shows the first bar only. Weird that they don't update at the same time!
Yeah WMR is notoriously slow to update. Many people get their refund before WMR even shows the third bar 😂 Trust the transcript over WMR every time!
Filed with TurboTax on March 5 using direct deposit - still no refund 45 days later
I filed my taxes on March 5 through TurboTax and opted for direct deposit to my Chase bank account. The IRS accepted my return the next day, but I'm still waiting for my refund after almost 45 days. The Where's My Refund tool just says it's still processing. Has anyone else been waiting this long? Should I be worried? This is the longest I've ever had to wait for a return to process.

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 🤷♂️
This is literally the most popular opinion on every tax forum ever 😂 But you're right
Some people use it as forced savings because they know they'd spend it otherwise. Different strokes for different folks

Been there. Try using Claimyr to get through to a live agent (claimyr.com). Talking to a real person got my return unstuck when it was in limbo for months.
