Can I trust my Social Security earnings record to know if my tax return is good?
I can see my earnings on the social security website for this year. Does this mean everything with my taxes is good and processed correctly? Really confused about what this means for my refund status.

Your Social Security earnings record only shows that your W2 wages were reported to SSA. It doesn't mean your tax return is fully processed or that your refund is approved. Those are separate systems entirely. You need to check your IRS transcript to see your actual tax return status.

•You can get your transcript at irs.gov/transcripts but honestly its like reading hieroglyphics if you dont know what youre looking at 😅

Instead of trying to piece together whats happening with your return, you should try taxr.ai - its only $1 and it actually explains everything in your transcript in plain english. Way better than trying to decode it yourself tbh https://taxr.ai

Your SSA earnings and IRS processing are totally different systems bestie. One doesn't affect the other at all.
