How to update mailing address with IRS for verification letter after 5 years of not filing?

I need to update my address with the IRS. Haven't filed taxes in 5 years and heard they'll send verification letters to my old address from my last filing. Need to make sure they have my current address so I don't miss anything important.

Quick tip: if u cant get thru on the main line try calling right when they open at 7am EST. Way shorter wait times early in the morning

good looking out! gonna try this tomorrow

0 coins

make sure u get all ur w2s and 1099s together before u start filing those back taxes. its gonna be a process but better to deal with it now than wait longer tbh

0 coins

Facts! And maybe consider getting a tax pro to help with the back taxes. It can get complicated with penalties and all that jazz

Filed 2/1, accepted 2/4 - Transcript still showing no update. What does this mean?

Filed my taxes on Feb 1st and they got accepted on Feb 4th. Been checking my transcripts daily but nothing is showing up yet. First time checking transcripts so im completely lost. Anyone know whats normal and what I should be looking for?

When your transcript does update look for cycle code ending in 05 - means weekly updates. If its 01-04 you get daily updates

0 coins

wait where do I find the cycle code?

0 coins

itll be on account transcript, looks like 20240805 or something like that. Last 2 digits are what matter

your already doing better than me i cant even access my transcripts online smh the verification process is impossible

try requesting by mail its slower but at least it works

PATH Act Warning: IRS Showing Missing Status Bars and Confirms EITC/ACTC Refunds Delayed Until Mid-February

I just checked Where's My Refund at 4:58 PM on my phone (69% battery) and got this concerning message about the PATH Act that I've never seen before. When I went to sa.www4.irs.gov/wmr/results, instead of seeing my normal refund status with the three bars (Return Received, Refund Approved, and Refund Sent), they were all missing with question marks next to each one. The system is displaying a message that says: "The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act says that if you claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS cannot issue the refund before mid-February. This applies to the entire refund, even the portion not associated with these credits." Below that message, it states: "You can check the status of your refund on Where's My Refund starting in mid- to late February. The website is updated once a day and is the best way to check the status of your refund." There's also a "Helpful Information" section that says "Please read the following information related to your tax situation:" and then lists "Tax Topic 152, Refund Information" At the bottom, there's a note that says "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or IRS2GO" for updates. I'm really concerned because I've never seen my refund status display like this before with all the status bars missing and just question marks. Has anyone else encountered this PATH Act message? Does this definitely mean I won't get my refund until mid-February even though I filed early? I'm worried since this looks completely different from previous years.

Does anyone know if this affects state refunds too?

0 coins

Nope, PATH Act is federal only. Your state refund processes separately

pro tip: setup direct deposit if u haven't already. once it finally processes youll get it way faster than waiting for a check in the mail

0 coins

already did that thankfully! atleast thats one less thing to worry about
