Anyone accepted around 02/02-03 have transcripts yet? Mine still shows 'No return filed'

I'm in the same boat and it's driving me CRAZY! • Filed and accepted on Feb 1st • Transcript still says "No return filed" • WMR only shows one bar • Called IRS twice but couldn't get through • Need this money for car repairs ASAP This is my first time filing with dependents and I'm worried I messed something up. Why is it taking so much longer this year??

According to Internal Revenue Manual 21.4.1.3, the IRS has up to 45 days from the acceptance date to process your return before they're required to pay interest on your refund. Many early February filers are experiencing delays this year due to heightened identity verification procedures implemented under IRC Section 6428. I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences here - it helps to know we're all in the same situation.

I filed on February 4th and was accepted the same day, but my transcript still shows nothing as of March 18th. Called the IRS on March 10th and spent 2 hours on hold before getting disconnected. Has anyone tried using Claimyr (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c)? I heard they can get you through to an actual IRS agent without the endless hold times. Curious if it actually works for checking transcript status?

I've noticed this pattern for early February filers this year. Back in 2022, I had a similar experience when I filed on February 1st - transcript didn't appear until March 15th. Last year when I filed on February 10th, it took until March 8th to show up. It seems the system is particularly backed up for early filers this cycle, possibly due to the new verification procedures. I would suggest waiting until at least the 45-day mark before becoming too concerned.

Everyone's focusing on the transcript, but the real issue is the processing backlog at the IRS Kansas City center (if you're in the western or central regions). They're prioritizing returns with refundable credits first, then simple W-2 only returns, and finally the more complex returns with multiple schedules. The "no return filed" message is just a placeholder until your return reaches the transcript database - it doesn't mean there's a problem. The system is just overwhelmed... again. (Shocking, I know! 😂) Check transcript Tuesday/Friday mornings when they do mass updates - that's your best indicator.

I might be able to offer some insight here. My return was accepted on February 3rd, and my transcript finally updated yesterday. It seems like, possibly, they're processing in batches based on filing method and complexity. My return was relatively simple - just W-2 income and standard deduction. No dependents or credits. So perhaps they're working through the simpler returns first? Just a theory, of course, but it might explain why some of us are seeing movement while others aren't.
