IRS Denying Hardship Request - Told to Wait 120 Days for Review

Just got off the phone with the IRS and they said I dont qualify for hardship because I have to wait 120 days for review first. My bills are piling up and I really need this money. Anyone else dealing with this? Filed back in February and still nothing.

The system is completely broken. Its like they want us to suffer

How long does it typically take IRS to resolve delay/hold issues on refunds?

Filed my taxes back in February and still nothing. Got the delayed message and then radio silence. Called multiple times but keep getting the automated system. Anyone know the typical timeline for these holds to clear up? Really need this money and starting to get worried.

depends on why its delayed tbh. Mine was held for identity verification and took about 9 weeks after I verified

how did you know it was identity verification?

Cycle Code 05 Filed 1/25 - Any transcript updates? DDD?

Filed my taxes on January 25th and got accepted on the 27th with cycle code 05. Checked my transcripts this morning but still no updates. Anyone else file around the same time seeing any movement? Really hoping to see a DDD soon since I'm counting on this refund.

Pro tip: Don't count on getting your refund by a specific date. The IRS is a clown show this year as usual ๐Ÿคก

Can someone explain why they even have these cycles? Like why not just process everything as it comes in?

HOH Filer Unable to Access IRS Transcripts Since January 11th - "Transcripts Unavailable" Message Persists for 2+ Months on Official IRS.gov Site

Filed my taxes January 11th as head of household with dependents and I keep getting the "Transcripts are unavailable at this time" message on the official IRS.gov website. I've been checking the Tax Records/Transcripts section repeatedly, and every single time it just shows "Transcripts are unavailable at this time. Please try again later" with the "Back to tax records" option. It's been showing this exact message since I filed. I tried again today at exactly 10:28 and got the same result. Here's what I'm seeing on the official IRS.gov website: "Transcripts are unavailable at this time Please try again later. Back to tax records" This appears right under the "Tax records / Transcripts" heading in the "Transcripts" section. The page has the official IRS logo at the top with "IRS" and shows "An official website of the United States Government" with "Here's how you know" next to it. The website has a menu and navigation that includes "Tools," "Privacy Policy," and "Accessibility" at the bottom. I've been trying to get my transcript for weeks now through their official site and keep hitting this wall. Anyone else dealing with this constant unavailability message or know what's going on? I can't even access my basic tax records through their tools section. Is the system just overloaded because of tax season, or is there something wrong with my filing that's causing this error message to persist?

The IRS is straight clownin this year fr fr ๐Ÿคก

Filed 1/29 - No Estimated Date for EIC/CTC Refund with TurboTax & Chime

Filed my taxes on January 29th already got my state refund but federal is still processing. I know about the EIC and CTC hold but why don't I even get an estimated deposit date? Been using TurboTax and Chime for direct deposit every year and its always like this.

Pro tip: check your transcript instead of WMR. Sometimes shows updates before WMR does

how do u even read those things? its like trying to decode ancient hieroglyphics ๐Ÿ˜ญ

This is my third year with this early filing nonsense. Pro tip: file in March and skip the whole waiting game tbh

0 coins

but then ur waiting even longer for ur money tho?

0 coins

nah cause processing times are faster later in the season. Early filers dont actually get paid first
