I'm trying to find others from Arkansas who filed this year. Seems like everyone I know here is delayed. Want to see if its just my area or if anyone from AR is actually getting their refunds on time.

I keep hearing about some kind of extra credit for home heating expenses on 2023 taxes. Is this real? How do I know if I qualify and how much could I get back? My heating bills were crazy high this winter and I could really use the help.

I got an IP PIN this year and filed my taxes with it. Now the IRS is asking me to verify my identity. I thought having an IP PIN meant I wouldn't need to do this extra verification step? Anyone else dealing with this?

I logged into my IRS account at 10:24 and saw several options including "Refund Status Now" which is marked as "Available" and says it lets me "Check your refund status for up to the three most recent tax years." There's also a "Go Paperless for Certain IRS Notices" section that mentions "Set your profile preferences to receive IRS notices online." I'm seeing options for "Records and Status" that include "Information Return Documents for 1099s and more to assist in filing your tax returns" as well as options to "View Tax Records" for: - Key information from your most recent tax return - Downloadable transcripts and Tax Compliance Report There's also a section to "View Status" for: - Current or past audits - Refund for the 3 most recent years I'm confused about what all these options actually mean. Specifically, can I actually check my refund status right here through the "Refund Status Now" option that's showing as "Available"? And what exactly happens if I "Go Paperless" - what kinds of notices would I get online instead of by mail? When I look at the "Records and Status" section, I see I can access Information Return Documents for 1099s, but I'm not sure what other documents might be included in "and more to assist in filing your tax returns." Also, what's the difference between the "Tax Compliance Report" and regular transcripts? Can someone explain these options and confirm if this is where I should be checking my refund? Is the "Refund Status Now" feature different from using the "Where's My Refund" tool that I've heard about?

My mom got a letter requesting her to call a tax examiner but her transcript still shows no updates or codes. Anyone dealt with this before? What should she expect?
