I filed with head of household on January 20th and got accepted right away, but I'm getting really worried now. Every time I check my IRS2Go app (which I admit is multiple times daily), I just keep seeing the same frustrating message: "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available." When I look at the app right now at 11:37 on 5G, I can see my refund status is still stuck on "Received" - it hasn't moved to "Approved" or "Sent" status yet. The app displays three status icons (Refund Received, Refund Approved, Refund Sent), but mine is only showing the first one highlighted. Under this, I see that annoying message: "Your tax return is still being processed. A refund date will be provided when available. For more information about processing delays, please see our Refund Frequently Asked Questions." There's even a note at the bottom telling me: "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or visit the Refunds page on IRS.gov. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." Yet I can't help checking multiple times daily anyway! The app confirms my filing status as Head of Household is correct, and I can see my partially redacted SSN (###-##), but that's literally all the information I can get. The app has other tabs at the bottom for Refunds, Payments, Free Tax Help, and Connect, but none of those help my current situation. Everyone else I know who filed around the same time has gotten their refund or at least an update, but mine is just stuck with this same message. Is it normal to be stuck on "Your tax return is still being processed" for this long? I can check the Refunds page on IRS.gov as they suggest, but I'm worried something's wrong with my return. Has anyone else experienced this kind of delay?
pro tip: check your transcript instead of WMR/IRS2Go. Those apps are clown shows ๐คก
how do I even get my transcript? the irs website keeps giving me errors

The IRS is such a joke this year fr fr. Everyone I know who claimed EIC or HOH is stuck in processing purgatory ๐คฎ

Here's what you need to know about amending with business expenses: - Gather ALL receipts and documentation for expenses - Make sure expenses are actually deductible - Use Schedule C to report business income/expenses - File 1040-X with corrected amounts - Include any missing 1099s - Consider using taxr.ai to analyze your situation first - saved me tons of headache with my amendment - Expect 16-20 week processing time - You may owe penalties/interest on unreported income - File ASAP to minimize penalties
this is super helpful, thank u! gonna check out that tool

Call the number on the letter ASAP. The TAS advocate assigned to you can explain exactly what they need.
tried calling but was on hold forever ๐ซ

Try calling right when they open at 7am EST. Way shorter wait times

This happened to me last yr! Check if someone filed a return using ur SSN - that triggers auto restrictions
fr fr identity theft is getting crazy these days ๐

Pro tip: call exactly at 7am EST when they open. Way better chance of getting someone helpful
