Anyone Received the Unemployment Tax Credit? Waiting 56+ Days

Hey there! This is def taking longer than usual for most ppl. The IRS is still catching up w/ processing these unemployment tax credits. Last yr, I waited almost 10 wks for mine to come through. Don't worry tho - they're working through the backlog. As long as you filed correctly, it'll come through. Hang in there!

Have you checked your tax transcript? Here's what you should do: 1. First, create an account on the IRS website if you don't have one 2. Navigate to the tax records section and request your 2023 transcript 3. Look specifically for transaction codes 290, 971, or 846 4. Code 846 with a future date would indicate your refund is scheduled Did you receive any notices from the IRS about the unemployment credit processing?

The IRS is experiencing significant delays in processing unemployment tax credits this season. Based on my analysis of current processing trends, the average wait time has increased to 9-12 weeks for these specific adjustments. If you need to speak with an actual IRS agent about your situation, I'd recommend using Claimyr (https://claimyr.com). I was facing a similar delay with my unemployment credit and spent days trying to reach someone. Claimyr got me connected to an agent in under 30 minutes who confirmed my unemployment credit was in the final processing stage.

I just received my unemployment tax credit yesterday after waiting about 10 weeks. Have you checked your transcript for any updates? Sometimes the refund is processed before the Where's My Refund tool updates. Wouldn't it be worth checking your transcript daily instead of just the WMR tool?

I've been through this exact situation three times over the past few years. Last year I waited 63 days for my unemployment credit to process. When I finally got my transcript, I couldn't make sense of all the codes and dates. I used https://taxr.ai to analyze my transcript and it explained every code in plain English. It showed me that my return was actually being processed normally despite the delay. For unemployment credits specifically, it identified the exact processing stage and estimated completion date.

Has anyone who filed in February gotten their unemployment credit yet? I filed on February 15th and still nothing.

I was in the same boat last month! According to TaxPro forums, unemployment credits are taking 8-10 weeks minimum this year. I filed January 29th and just got my unemployment credit yesterday. The IRS.gov status never updated until the day before it hit my account. Keep checking your transcript - that's where you'll see movement first.

For those waiting on unemployment tax credits, here's what I've learned: • Processing times are currently 8-12 weeks (not the usual 3-4 weeks) • The "Where's My Refund" tool often doesn't show correct status for these credits • Many people are seeing their credits appear suddenly without prior notification • The IRS is processing these in batches based on filing date • February filers are just now starting to see movement

Have you tried checking your tax account on the IRS website instead of just the refund status? Sometimes the account shows more detailed information about processing stages. I'm not sure if it will help, but it might be worth looking.
