2023 Tax Return Filed Last Week Shows "Return Not Present" on IRS Transcript - Normal Wait Time or Cause for Concern?

I filed my 2023 taxes last week and when I check my transcript for the tax period ending Dec. 31, 2023, everything shows zeros and says "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT." I'm looking at my Account Transcript right now and it's really concerning me. The transcript shows: FORM NUMBER: 1040 TAX PERIOD: Dec. 31, 2023 ANY MINUS SIGN SHOWN BELOW SIGNIFIES A CREDIT AMOUNT ACCOUNT BALANCE: 0.00 ACCRUED INTEREST: 0.00 AS OF: Oct. 28, 2024 ACCRUED PENALTY: 0.00 AS OF: Oct. 28, 2024 ACCOUNT BALANCE PLUS ACCRUALS (this is not a payoff amount): 0.00 Under "INFORMATION FROM THE RETURN OR AS ADJUSTED" it shows: EXEMPTIONS: 00 FILING STATUS: Head of Household ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME: [blank] TAXABLE INCOME: [blank] TAX PER RETURN: [blank] SE TAXABLE INCOME TAXPAYER: [blank] SE TAXABLE INCOME SPOUSE: [blank] TOTAL SELF EMPLOYMENT TAX: [blank] And in big letters it says "RETURN NOT PRESENT FOR THIS ACCOUNT" Then under TRANSACTIONS, it simply says "No tax return filed" At the bottom it states "This Product Contains Sensitive Taxpayer Data" I checked my Request Date and Response Date on the transcript, and there's also a Tracking Number. I definitely submitted my return last week through the IRS website. Is this normal right after filing, or should I be worried? Does it take time for the transcript to update? I'm really concerned because the transcript is explicitly stating that no return was filed, despite me submitting it. What should I do next?

mine took like 3 weeks to show anything last year. its normal

Need direct phone number to reach actual IRS agent - tired of automated system

Been trying to reach the IRS for 3 weeks straight. Every time I call the main number I get stuck in this endless loop of automated messages. I've tried all the prompts but can never get to a real person. Anyone know the secret to getting through to an actual human agent? Starting to lose my mind here

Anybody else think its crazy we gotta jump through hoops just to talk to someone about our own money? System is broken fr

Got refund before transcript updated - 846 code appeared AFTER deposit

Got my refund deposited but my transcripts were completely blank the whole time. WMR said still processing and my amount disappeared last week. Money just showed up in my account and NOW my transcript updated showing 846 for 4/12. Weird that transcripts updated after the deposit came through.

Did you have any fees taken out of your refund or use a tax preparer? Sometimes that affects how things update

nah did it myself on turbotax and got direct deposit

How to access IRS transcripts online? Complete newbie here

I need to get my transcripts but have no idea where to start. Is this something I can do online or do I have to call the IRS? Any help would be appreciated.

i tried getting mine last week but got locked out cause i failed the verification questions lmao now i gotta wait 24 hrs to try again

same thing happened to me! those questions are so random like who remembers what car they financed in 2012 🀣

If ID.me doesnt work for you, you can also mail in Form 4506-T to request transcripts. Takes about 10 days to get them in the mail.

Filed Jan 24, accepted Jan 27 - still processing while my daughter already got DD date?

Filed my taxes on January 24th and got accepted on the 27th but still stuck in processing. The weird thing is I filed my daughters return on January 27th, it got accepted on the 29th, and shes already got a direct deposit date for February 11th. Makes no sense why mine is taking longer when I filed first. Anyone else experiencing this?

The IRS is playing games with us fr fr no rhyme or reason to how they process these things πŸ’…
