Just checked my IRS account at 11:09 and got a notification saying "We need more information about your 2024 tax return before it can be processed." I've never had this issue before and already got my state refund. When I logged in, I saw I have 3 unread notifications on the IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov). The first notification says "Verify Your Tax Return Information Now" with the message "We need more information about your 2024 tax return before it can be processed." The second notification says "Refund Status Now Available" and mentions I can "Check your refund status for up to the three most recent tax years." The third notification is about "Turn On Email Notifications" where I can "Sign up to receive email" alerts. I was checking my "View Payment Activity" section when I noticed these notifications. I've filed taxes for years without any verification requests, so seeing this "Verify Your Tax Return Information Now" message is really concerning me. I completed my return through TurboTax in early February and already received my state refund about two weeks ago, so I thought everything was fine. Has anyone encountered this verification request before? What kind of additional information might they be looking for? I'm worried this will significantly delay my federal refund. Should I click on the verification link immediately or contact the IRS by phone first?
yall need to stop obsessing over 1-2 days earlier and just wait fr fr š¤”
easy to say when u not broke lmaooo

Green Dot user here. They claim early deposit but mine always comes right on schedule ngl
My Arkansas state return was processed on 2/5/2025 at 5:41:16 PM but still no refund. I'm looking at the refund status page on atap.arkansas.gov right now, and it says "Your return was processed on 2/5/2025 5:41:16 PM; however, your refund has not yet been issued." The status shows this exact message: "Identity theft and other fraudulent actions are a serious concern, so we are taking additional verification measures to ensure that all refunds are only provided to the rightful owners. While we are working hard to process returns as quickly and efficiently as possible, we also focus on refund processing accuracy and your financial safety." There's an option on the page where it says "Click here if you wish to be notified when your refund is sent out" so you can sign up for email or text notifications when the refund is issued, but I haven't received any notifications yet despite signing up weeks ago. It's been over 6 weeks now since my return was processed, and I'm starting to get really worried. The website specifically mentions "If it has been more than 6 weeks since your return was processed by us, please contact our office at (501) 682-1100 or toll-free at 1(800) 882-9275." I'm thinking I should call, but wanted to check here first. Anyone else dealing with this extra verification process in Arkansas? I understand they're trying to prevent fraud, but this wait is getting concerning, especially since I was counting on that refund money. Has anyone successfully gotten through to them at those phone numbers? Did you eventually get your refund after this verification delay?
signed up for text notifications but haven't gotten anything for 3 weeks smh
those notifications are broken half the time ngl

Pro tip: Go to your local tax office in person if you can. I did that last week and they helped me right away. Better than waiting on hold forever.

Pro tip: check your transcript at 12am-1am EST on fridays, thats when they usually update the 846 codes

I had my account balance showing before but now when I check my IRS account at 12:43 it shows "Your Information Is Not Available at This Time" for my 2024 tax year. The message specifically says "If you requested an adjustment to your account your information will not be available until that transaction is complete." I'm looking at my IRS online account details right now, and I can see all these options available: - Recently filed or processing returns - Pending payments or adjustments - Information on your business account - Installment agreement fees - Make a payment - Frequently Asked Questions About Balances When I look at the "Details By Year" section, it shows: Tax Year | You Owe ------------------------ 2024 | INFO Income Tax | Your Information Is Not Available at This Time And directly under that unavailable information message, there's text that says "If you requested an adjustment to your account your information will not be available until that transaction is complete." Meanwhile, my 2023 balance shows $0.00 clearly, so I know the system is working for previous years. I'm accessing this through the IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov) on my mobile phone with LTE connection at 68% battery. Everything was showing fine before, so I'm confused about why my 2024 information disappeared suddenly. Does anyone know what this means or how long it'll take for my information to show up again? Did I trigger something by filing an adjustment request?
call the IRS! sometimes they can tell u whats going on even if we cant see it online
lol good luck getting through to a human š¤”

This happened 2 me after I amended. Took about 20 days before I could see everything again
Did you claim EIC or child tax credit? That usually makes it take longer than what TT estimates
yeah claimed both actually

theres ur answer then. path act means you prob wont see it till early march

My brothers cousins roommates goldfish works at the IRS and they said TT dates are about as reliable as a chocolate teapot š«

Possible reasons for verification: - Income discrepancy - Identity verification needed - Missing documents - Suspicious activity flag Best thing to do is wait for their letter or use taxr.ai to get specific insights about your case. That tool saved me so much time figuring out what was wrong with my return last month.
