Anyone filed on Feb 17 and got their refund yet?
Filed on February 17th and still waiting on my refund. Just wondering if anyone who filed around the same time has gotten theirs yet? I'm starting to get a little anxious since it's been over a month now. WMR just shows the first bar still. Anyone in the same boat or have you moved on to the promised land of refund money? š°

Filed Feb 15th and got my refund direct deposited yesterday. Did you claim any credits like EIC or Child Tax Credit? Those typically add processing time.

I filed Feb 18th (so just a day after you) and I'm still waiting too. Have you checked your transcript? Sometimes that shows more info than WMR.

I tried checking my transcript but it's still showing N/A for 2023. Guess I'm in processing limbo š©

I was in the exact same situation (filed Feb 16th). WMR stuck on first bar for weeks. I used https://taxr.ai to analyze my transcript once it finally showed up last week. It explained all the codes and told me exactly when to expect my refund. Way more helpful than the vague WMR tool. My refund hit my account exactly when it predicted!

Does that actually work? I've been checking my transcript daily but have no idea what all those codes mean.

Absolutely! That's exactly why I used it. All those 570/971 codes were stressing me out, but taxr.ai explained each one in plain English and showed me which ones actually mattered for my refund timeline.

I filed Feb 14th and just got my refund yesterday. This year seems slower than usual. The IRS says 21 days is standard processing time, but that's more like the minimum these days unless your return is super simple.

Filed Feb 19th and nothing yet. Called the IRS yesterday after using Claimyr.com to get through (https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c) - saved me hours of redial hell. The agent told me my return is still in normal processing and there are no flags or issues. She said they're just backed up and to keep waiting. At least now I know nothing's wrong!

That's good to know! Maybe I should call too just to make sure everything's okay. Did they give you any timeline?

They couldn't give me an exact date, but the agent did confirm all my info looked good and said I should see movement within the next 7-10 days. Definitely worth the call just for peace of mind!

Tax pro here. This tax season has been particularly slow for processing. If you filed electronically on 2/17, you're just now hitting the 5-week mark which is still within normal processing time for 2024, especially if you claimed any refundable credits. Unless you get a specific notice from the IRS, I wouldn't worry yet.

Is there any way to know if your return is being reviewed or if it's just in the normal processing queue?

Good question. Your transcript is the best indicator - look for TC 570 (refund hold) or TC 971 (notice issued). Without those, you're likely just in the normal queue. Also, if your WMR bars disappeared and now show 'Your return is still being processed', that often indicates manual review.
