Just wait for your regular refund date and skip all this advance nonsense. The IRS is actually pretty fast these days if you file electronically and use direct deposit.
Facts šÆ not worth the extra steps

First time filing taxes and super confused. I filed as Head of Household and my WMR bar was showing 21 days processing time last week, but now it's completely blank with no date estimate. When I check my IRS2Go app, all I see is "Return Received" but the "Refund Approved" and "Refund Sent" parts are not filled in. The app literally says "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 also this note: "Please Note: For refund information, please continue to check here, or visit IRS.gov/Refunds. Updates to refund status are made no more than once a day." I used to see the progress bars and a specific date when I'd get my refund, but now there's nothing. Has this happened to anyone else? I can't tell if this is normal or if something's wrong with my return. I'm getting really nervous since I was counting on this refund to pay some bills. Should I call the IRS or just keep waiting? Is this a sign that I'm being audited or something? The app shows options for Refunds, Payments, Tax Help, and Connect but I'm not sure what to do next.
Check ur mail like crazy. I missed a verification letter and it delayed me 3 months š¤”
fr tho the IRS be sending the most important stuff in the most basic envelopes smh

did u claim EIC or child tax credit? those always get extra review for first timers
nah just a basic w2 return
2M
then ur probably just random review, should be quick
2M
make sure u file head of household if eligible, makes a huge difference with dependents
yep thats what im doing! single parent household here
2M
dont forget about state tax credits too if ur state has them
good point! gonna look into that rn

Mine got accepted this morning actually! Filed 1/11 through HRB. Maybe try logging into the actual IRS website to check? Sometimes the HRB tracker is behind
which irs website do u use to check? wmr or transcripts?
2M
i use both but transcripts usually updates first tbh

First time filing w/ HRB, used TT last year. Starting to think I made a mistake ngl
were all in the same boat fam, just gotta wait it out

its* not that hard to understand... if theres an identity issue youll get a specific letter or notice about it. processing just means... its processing lol
THIS!! Finally someone with common sense š
2M
make sure you have all ur docs straight before filing! The IRS been trippin lately with verification delays
what docs do i need besides my w2?
2M
birth certificates or ssn cards for the kids, proof they lived with u, any child support docs if applicable
2M
idk why everyone's so confident about this. my cousin's refund got taken for something similar
Was it actually a private debt tho? Might have been something else getting offset š¤
2M
Call the TOP (Treasury Offset Program) hotline to check if you have any offsets. The number is 800-304-3107. Its free and will tell you if anyone can take your refund
Will try this rn thank you!!

Quick tip: while ur waiting for the rejection, get that 8862 filled out and ready to go. That way you can resubmit right away
smart thinking! will do that tonight
2M
The IRS systems r so broken its actually hilarious. Why cant they just let us add forms after submission like normal people š¤®
