Anyone know why my 2022 refund is taking so long? I mailed my return and when I check WMR (Where's My Refund), it just shows "Return Received" with a checkmark, but "Approved" and "Refund Sent" both still show question marks. Here's what I'm seeing on the IRS website (sa.www4.irs.gov): Tax year 2022 Return Received ✓ Refund Approved ? Refund Sent ? It says "We have received your tax return and it is being processed. If you filed a complete and accurate tax return, your refund should be issued within 4 to 6 weeks of the received date. Keep in mind, processing sometimes takes longer." But it's already been way longer than their stated 4-6 week timeline. I've been checking the IRS website constantly at sa.www4.irs.gov but nothing is changing. The status is frozen at "Return Received" and hasn't progressed to "Approved" or "Refund Sent" despite weeks of waiting. I'm starting to get really worried about what's going on with my return. The website just shows this same message every time I check, with no additional information or explanation for the delay. Has anyone else experienced this lengthy delay with their 2022 refund? Did you eventually receive your refund or did you have to take additional steps? I'm wondering if I should call the IRS directly or if I just need to keep waiting.

The IRS is such a joke fr fr... They expect us to pay on time but take 10 years to send refunds 🤡

The IRS is seriously understaffed rn and dealing with massive backlogs. Early filers are getting extra scrutiny this year to prevent fraud. Best thing to do is wait it out unless you get a notice requesting more info.
Try calling the tax advocate service. They might be able to help if its been more than 21 days since acceptance
good luck getting through tho 💀 been trying for 2 weeks

You should report that tax preparer to your state board of accountancy. Thats literally their ONE job 🤡
THIS! 👆 They need to be held accountable

Pro tip: send everything certified mail with return receipt. Trust me on this one.
learned this the hard way when the irs 'lost' my amended return TWICE 🙄

Check your Where's My Refund tool too. Sometimes it shows different info than the transcript

As Of dates don't mean anything anymore tbh. I've seen mine change like 5 times since January and still waiting. The whole system is broken fr
facts. IRS needs to get it together frfr

Quick tip: check your transcript instead of WMR. Sometimes it updates before WMR does and shows more details about whats actually happening with your return.
how do you even read those transcripts tho? its like trying to decode hieroglyphics fr

DONT WAIT!!!! The longer u wait the worse it gets. I learned this the hard way and ended up owing penalties
Quick question - did you get advance premium tax credits or were you just covered without subsidies?
i got the tax credits monthly

Did you claim any credits like EIC or CTC? Sometimes that triggers reviews
